Bai Yue was out of habit and did not notice that his question had meaning.
Jian Yu said: "You mean, are you sure these are human bones?"
Only then did Bai Yue feel that his glance was too hasty, so he took it again, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and then said: "I'm very sure, although I can't tell which part it is, but it must be a human finger. Others.
Animal claws don’t look like this.”
Xie Pingsheng didn't say anything, but continued to search. The compass was indeed not a decoration. Not long after, he accurately found seven phalanges from the soil.
Although everyone didn't show it on their faces, they were actually muttering in their hearts. Even people who didn't understand Feng Shui at all felt it was quite evil to see so many bones buried on the ground.
The seven bones were neatly placed on the handkerchief, both long and short. Bai Yue arranged them and said, "These should be from the same person, four on one side and three on the other."
Saying that, Bai Yue looked at Xie Pingsheng.
Xie Pingsheng was already numb. He wiped the compass and said only one sentence: "I want to open the coffin."
From the moment he took out the compass, he exuded a gloomy aura. He didn't say anything or had any excessive expressions, but he exuded a heavy aura that made people reluctant to approach him.
"Have you thought about it?" Jian Yu said, "This is your mother's coffin."
Xie Pingsheng put his hand on the tombstone and slowly stroked his mother's name. Although his face was solemn, he did not hesitate at all.
"Think about it." Xie Pingsheng said: "Unless my mother is standing in front of me intact now, otherwise, if I don't open this coffin, I will wonder for the rest of my life whether there will be another empty coffin inside."
Xie Pingsheng said this, which was a good thing for Bai Yue and the others. They were still struggling with how to open the coffin before, but now they don't have to worry about it anymore.
Jian Yu said: "Open the coffin."
The people who followed Jian Yu these days have all become proficient in opening coffins. Whoever had done this job before was now familiar with it. They dug up the grave by dividing three times by five.
Xie Pingsheng kowtowed to his mother twice with a livid complexion. His expression was not that he was kowtowing to his mother, but that he was going to start a fight after kowtowing.
After kowtowing, everyone moved aside, and Xie Pingsheng went to push the lid of the coffin. After nearly twenty years of decay, the coffin was of good quality, but it was also dilapidated, and some of its appearance could still be seen. He pushed it,
The lid was completely broken and fell in with a clatter.
Bai Yue suddenly took several steps back and grabbed Jian Yu. Then he covered his mouth and nose with one hand and Jian Yu's mouth and nose with the other.
An indescribable smell came out of the coffin. It was an indescribable stench of decay. The coffin had been sealed for a long time. The corpse, skin, muscles, internal organs, and fat inside had all decomposed as time passed.
In the end, only a broken skeleton remained.
The smell directly made several people nearby vomit. Even his own mother, Xie Pingsheng couldn't resist it. He only had time to turn his head away. For a while, there were sounds of nausea.
Only Bai Yue and Jian Yu survived. Bai Yue dragged Jian Yu upwind of the coffin at the critical moment, four or five meters away, and covered his mouth and nose to avoid the first wave of biochemical attacks.
Even so, the disgusting smell still came out, and Jian Yu couldn't help but frown, but resisted the urge to turn around and walk away ten or eight meters, and kept his stern expression motionless.
Then he glanced at Bai Yue with a complicated expression. Bai Yue was very calm.
What does this mean? She still remembers the most devastating time she ever had.
It was a corpse floating in the sewer during the summer. The giant corpse exploded like a bomb because of the shaking. The unexplained red and white objects and the maggot sewage in the sky sprayed her and several detectives all over her body, and then they almost killed her.
My heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys all vomited out.
From then on, she felt that nothing in this world could hurt her.
Bai Yue took out a box from his arms, poured out two candies, ate one for himself and stuffed one for Jian Yu.
The sugar was spicy and refreshing. After taking it into my mouth, the nausea immediately eased a lot.
Bai Yue took out the handkerchief from his arms again, covered his face like a mask, and then walked over.
Throwing the candies to Xie Pingsheng and asking each of them to take one, Bai Yue took out a pair of gloves and put them on: "I have said before that if it is a coffin with a corpse, if it is opened after many years, the smell inside will definitely not be that good.
Fresh. Do you believe it now?"
Xie Pingsheng hurriedly put the candy into his mouth and nodded repeatedly: "Yes... vomit..."
Fortunately, there was wind at this time, and the wind blew by one after another. After a while, the smell finally slowly dissipated.
Bai Yue looked over and saw that the coffin was not empty.
There were white bones in the coffin, as well as something dark and unknown.
Bai Yue said: "Xiao Xie, if you don't mind, I want to take a look..."
Xie Pingsheng waved his hand feebly. The grave had been dug and the coffin had been opened. What else did he have to mind? To say he minded, he was more concerned about his gaffe just now. It was really ugly.
The bones were not placed neatly in the coffin, but were instead in a messy pile, accompanied by unknown things. Some of the bones under the coffin were rotten. Come to think of it, a lot of things had gotten into it over the years, and they had been in it for the winter and summer.
It's mixed in and out, so it's so messy.
Bai Yue picked out the bones one by one, placed them in the open space next to him, picked up the roots to dry, and Jian Yu came over. Although this thing was really weird, several grown men stood and watched Bai Yue work.
Son, what is going on?
Xie Pingsheng also recovered from the vomiting and raised his hand to block Jian Yu.
"Let me do it."
Bai Yue was an exception. Xie Pingsheng still didn't want them to touch his mother's bones.
Jian Yu understood and nodded.
Xie Pingsheng rolled up his sleeves and quickly took out his mother's bones. The coffin had rotted to this point. It was time to clean it up, replace it with a better coffin, and bury it again.
Bai Yue quickly put the bones together into the original appearance of the corpse. The skull, trunk bones, and limb bones were matched one by one. It was something she could do with her eyes closed, and it was very smooth.
When it is completely put together, everyone will see it clearly.
"An adult should have two hundred and six bones, but here there are only one hundred and nine." Bai Yue said: "Seven are missing. The seven finger bones you just found on the hillside are most likely your mother's.
."
No one knows how many bones a person should have, but the body pieced together from the bones is indeed missing seven fingers.
Xie Pingsheng held the seven finger bones with a handkerchief and placed them respectfully on the ground.
