Chapter 140 Human bones
Yunzi said: "I, I'm in a hurry. Can you accompany me first? These people make me feel a little scared.⊥"
Lu Jinping felt a little funny. Yun Zi was very skilled in martial arts. When he was afraid, he asked him to accompany him as someone who knew how to do martial arts. To outsiders, it was really unreasonable, but Lu Jinping knew that she was just asking for psychological comfort. He nodded and said, "I happened to be in a hurry, let's go together."
He spoke loudly and everyone around him heard it. In fact, he just wanted to tell everyone what he was going to do, and then he took Yunzi toward the woods on one side.
When he came to the woods, Yunzi blushed and said, "You are here, I'll move forward a little, you are not allowed to come."
Lu Jinping smiled, nodded and turned his back and said, "Is this OK?"
Yunzi laughed and jumped like a deer, and went to the woods in the distance.
Lu Jinping walked to a pile of rocks, pulled his pants and urinated. After he finished urinating, he was tying his trousers, and his eyes fell on a pile of bones not far away, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
These bones are new and old, long and short, and some are animal bones. However, there is a skeleton that attracted Lu Jinping's attention, which is obviously the human pelvic bone.
Lu Jinping squatted forward and carefully observed the pelvic bones. Judging from the shape of the pelvic bones, it should be a man's. Then he found several bones, namely the clavicle and leg bones of a person.
Lu Jinping was checking, but suddenly he heard someone patting him on the shoulder behind him, which scared him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Yunzi.
Yunzi looked at him curiously: "What are you doing squatting here? Oh, there are so many bones!"
Lu Jinping picked up a human leg bone and said, "This is a human leg bone. Based on the number of bones, there are no less than ten people here."
Yunzi exclaimed, lowered his voice and said, "Where did these people's bones come from? Could it be these people..."
Lu Jinping nodded slowly: "This place is not far from the cave where they live. What you said just now is right. The good or bad people are not written on your face..."
As soon as I said this, I heard a scream from the direction of the cave.
Lu Jinping and Yunzi looked at each other, were both surprised, and each pulled out their weapons and rushed towards the cave.
When the two of them got closer, they saw that nothing had happened. The people were still busy. It was Jiang Xiaozhou who screamed. She covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at a blue and white snake in the hand of a strong man.
The man held a blue and white snake, grinned and smiled at Jiang Xiaozhou, saying, "Don't be afraid of this girl, this thing is dead. Snake soup is the best. I will make soup for you to drink."
Lu Jinping glanced at Yunzi and used a color. The two of them returned their weapons to the sheath. Lu Jinping walked to Du Hai and bowed his fists and said, "Sir Du. We want to visit caves on the mountain, but we don't have a guide. I wonder if you are willing to be our guide?"
Du Hai said: "Don't worry, eat first, and then let's talk about taking you out for a trip, don't worry."
Lu Jinping turned his head to look at Yunzi again, and Yunzi nodded slowly. Lu Jinping then took a deep breath and said, "Sir Du Zhuang. I just found a pile of bones in the woods over there, many of which were human bones. Do you know what's going on?"
When Wang Shiduo and others were shocked when they heard this, they quickly got up, pressed the handle of the knife, and stared at the strong men nervously.
But the strong men in tiger skin aprons were still busy. Du Hai followed Lu Jinping's gesture and said, "That's right. It's because he was drifting on the island and gathered these corpses here."
When Lu Jinping observed the bones, he did not find any obvious trauma. Judging from the bone conditions, there was no sign of murder or murder.
Yunzi interrupted, "Since you have pity for these drowned people, why don't you bury their corpses, but transport them here to release them?"
Du Hai glanced at Yunzi and said, "If you are with us here, they will not be alone. Besides, if you are buried underground, the body will still rot and only bones will be left. In the future, the bones will also turn into soil, so why should you bury them underground? If you throw them on the ground, you can give the beast a full meal, wouldn't it be better?"
When Yunzi heard his strange and strange theory, he rolled his eyes and shook his head helplessly. Lu Jinping said, "The Chinese people pay attention to being buried in the ground. Dead people have to be buried underground to get peace. Let the corpse be eaten by wild animals. This is not humane."
Du Hai smiled faintly and said, "I don't know them, why do you want to help them bury the bodies? We can transport them to the place and have companions, and I think it's worthy of them."
Lu Jinping couldn't find any words to refute the other party's strange and strange arguments, and also smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "If you don't talk about this, you'd better go out as soon as possible. I'm very short of time."
Du Hai said: "No matter how anxious you are, you don't have to worry about this moment. Are you afraid that we will poison it? If you feel at ease, we will eat it for you first."
Lu Jinping was really worried about this, but when he heard the other party say this, he was a little embarrassed. He smiled and said, "It's not because of this, but our time is really tight."
Du Hai said: "If you want to go by yourself, please treat me. I have to eat first to have the strength to walk. So if you want me to be your guide, then you have to stay. Whether you eat casually or not, I want to eat, you have to wait for me. In addition, please treat me as a guide, one or two silver taels a day, and you have to pay first."
Wang Shiduo was very grateful. Du Hai rescued him from the black bear's paw just now, so he helped him speak: "Mr. Du Endu said that right, let's stay and eat, and be full and have the strength to eat."
When Lu Jinping heard the other party say this, he had no choice but to nod and said, "What you said is reasonable, then we will wait for you to have a meal first. As for the guide fee of one or two taels of silver a day, this..."
He turned his face to Zhang Yousheng. Zhang Yousheng was busy and said, "Okay, no problem, we agree."
The hunter holding a long snake pulled out a short knife, peeled off the snake's skin, removed all the internal organs, chopped off the snake's head with a knife, chopped the snake's flesh into several sections, and threw it into another pot to cook.
The fragrance of snake meat wafted out was different from the pot of meat just now. Lu Jinping sniffed hard and said, "This song tasted really good.
Du Hai took a few firewood and added it to the campfire and said, "This soup will take longer to cook, the flavor will be stronger and better. The pot over there is more fragrant. The meat in the pot is a unique animal on the island and the taste is very delicious. I don't know what this animal is called, so we only call it delicious, and we don't give it a name. You can try it. When we go to the mountains to explore later, you may encounter this kind of delicious food, and you will know what it looks like."
When everyone heard him say this, the others aroused curiosity and speculated about what the island's specialty looks like. Jiang Xiaozhou asked Du Hai to describe it. Du Hai smiled and said, "Anyway, I have hands and feet, so I can't say anything. I'll see it myself."
After boiling for a long time, the soup had turned thick white. Du Hai poured out some powder from a small leather pocket and sprinkled it into the soup and stirred it. Yunzi was a little nervous and asked, "What is thrown into the soup?"
"Arsenic."
This sentence scared several people, and Yao Dongcai even drew a single knife, but Yunzi smiled and said, "This is the first time I heard that a poisoned person told others that he was poisoning."
Du Hai scooped a spoonful of it with a soup spoon to his mouth, blew it first and then drank it all, and sighed and said, "Grandma's, it tastes really good."
Seeing that he had put the powder and scooped the pot of soup to drink, of course it could not be poison, it might be salt or something. Yao Dongcai was embarrassed and embarrassed to insert the long knife back into the scabbard.
Du Hai took a bowl and took a bowl by himself, glanced at them and said, "I want to drink and eat and do it myself, but no one is here to serve me." After that, he sat on a stone by the entrance of the cave with the bowl of broth, chewed and swallowed.
The other strong men also came over and served the delicious broth. They sat on a few stones at the entrance of the cave to eat and drink, ignoring them.
Wang Shiduo said: "Let's eat too, we're so full that we're so strong."
As he said that, he took a bowl of earthen bowl and served a bowl of delicious soup, sat by the campfire and started to eat.
I heard Lu Jinping say that he found a human bone, and Zhang Yousheng and others were still very nervous. But seeing these people eating and drinking first, it was obvious that there should be no poison in the soup, so I gradually put my heart down and went forward to serve the delicious broth and meat, sat next to the campfire, and roasted the fire while eating. I felt particularly delicious in the cold wind.
The delicious broth tasted much stronger than the snake soup, so these people mainly went for the pot of delicious broth and meat.
Yunzi bit his lip and said to Lu Jinping: "I'll serve you a bowl too, it seems that there is no problem."
Lu Jinping pointed to the pot of snake soup: "I want to taste this."
Yunzi nodded, then served her a bowl and brought it to her, and broke branches to make chopsticks and handed it to him. Then, Yunzi hesitated with the earthen bowl, not knowing which pot of soup to serve. Lu Jinping ate a bite of snake meat and drank another bowl, and smacked his lips and said to Yunzi, "You should try snake meat soup too. I think this thing is better. You are not afraid of snake meat, right?"
If there was no such sentence afterwards, Yunzi might not have eaten snake meat soup. She always felt that snake meat was disgusting, but chose that pot of delicious soup. However, Lu Jinping used the method of provocation. Yunzi knew it was a method of provocation, but still snorted unconvincedly and said, "Who is afraid? Isn't it just snake meat? What's so great about it? Eat it."
After saying that, Yunzi also served a bowl of snake meat soup and sat next to Lu Jinping by the bonfire and started eating with relish.
While eating, suddenly, the bowl in Lu Jinping's hand fell to the ground with a clatter and fell to pieces. Lu Jinping stared blankly at the fragments of the earthen bowl on the ground.
