Gaohe Village is a small village surrounded by mountains on three sides. The villagers basically rely on farming to make a living.
It was almost noon at this time, Gaohe Village was quiet, and not a single person could be seen.
A brand new helicopter landed slowly at the entrance of the village.
The door opened, and Lin San and Han Yulong jumped out.
"This is Gaohe Village," Lin San stood on the road paved with earth and stones and slowly looked at the surrounding environment.
Han Yulong nodded: "Yes, this is Gaohe Village. It has been blocked now."
"Let's go and have a look inside the village." After saying that, Lin San walked towards the village.
Han Yulong hurriedly followed.
The road in the village is very wide, about 8 meters long. The ground is paved with some gravel, which makes a "squeaking" sound when you step on it. On both sides of the road are rows of dilapidated bungalows, all built with bluestones. It's made of bricks and looks pretty solid.
Gaohe Village is not large. After a while, Lin San and Han Yulong arrived at the east end of the village.
"Hey," Lin San suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Han Yulong asked.
Lin San stretched out his hand and pointed in front: "Look what that is."
Han Yulong raised his head and looked ahead, and was stunned. He saw an ox lying not far in front of him. The ox looked very strange, with its head tilted up, its mouth wide open, and its two legs kneeling in front. Standing, the two legs on the back are straight up, and only half of the tail is left, hanging on the buttocks and shaking constantly.
Under the scalper's body, there was still a pool of scarlet blood, but at this time, the blood had solidified.
"Is this... this scalper still alive?" Han Yulong opened his mouth and spat out a sentence.
"Let's go over and take a look and we'll find out," Lin San said as he walked up to the ox, stretched out his hand and gently touched the ox's body.
"Boom," there was a sound, and the scalper instantly fell to the ground, stirring up a burst of dust.
"He is indeed dead," Han Yulong also walked over at this time.
Lin San glanced at the ox's body, and finally focused on the ox's belly.
"There are no obvious wounds on this scalper's body. How did it die?" Han Yulong said to himself.
"Belly," Lin San suddenly said two words.
"What's the belly?" Han Yulong was stunned.
Lin San did not answer Han Yulong's words, but squatted down and slapped the scalper hard on the belly.
"Pfft," there was a sound, and a stream of black water suddenly burst out from the ox's belly.
Lin San swayed and stepped aside.
"Ah," Han Yulong dodged slowly, and the black water hit his chest instantly. A burst of black smoke came out, and the fur coat on his chest began to slowly rot, and there was still a faint fishy smell.
"Take off your fur coat quickly," Lin San shouted.
Han Yulong came to his senses and quickly took off his fur coat and threw it aside.
The fur coat that fell on the ground rotted quickly, and soon turned into a puddle of smelly black water.
"Hiss..." Han Yulong took a breath: "What is this black water? How can it be so domineering?" Fortunately, Lin San reminded him in time, otherwise Han Yulong would have turned into a puddle of black water at this time.
Lin San frowned: "It should be a very strong corrosive poisonous water." After saying that, he walked to the scalper, bent down and glanced at the scalper's split belly: "As expected, scalper All the internal organs of the cattle have been corroded, but it is really strange, why the black water only corrodes the internal organs of the cattle but does not harm the outer skin." Lin San thought for a long time but could not come to a conclusion. In the end, he could only attribute it to the cattle's fur. The effect of blocking black water corrosion.
"Keqing Lin, there is another cow ahead," Han Yulong suddenly shouted.
Lin San turned around and looked, and sure enough he saw an ox standing in the southeast direction. Lin San walked over and gave it a gentle push. The ox fell directly to the ground and patted its belly, which also spurted out a stream of black water.
"There's one over there too," Han Yulong found another dead cow in front, but this cow's fur was black.
Just ten minutes.
The two found more than a dozen dead cows. Without exception, these cows would spurt out a smelly black water from their stomachs.
"Hey, what kind of place is this?" Han Yulong suddenly stopped and stared blankly ahead.
There is a bare field not far ahead, and in the center of the field stands a small thatched house. The door of the thatched house is open at this time, and you can vaguely see some dark figures inside.
"Go over and have a look," Lin San was also a little curious and walked towards the thatched house.
Han Yulong followed closely behind.
After a while, the two of them arrived in front of the thatched house.
When they got closer, they discovered that the thatched house was not really made of thatch, but made of whole wood. The outside was just covered with a layer of thatch. From a distance, it looked like a thatched house.
"There is no village in the front and no shop in the back. Who would build a house here?" Han Yulong said in surprise.
Lin San did not answer Han Yulong's question, but walked directly into the thatched house.
Han Yulong followed and walked in.
The windows on all sides of the thatched house were sealed with solid wood, so no sunlight could enter the house, making it look particularly gloomy and dark.
"Ah, how come there are so many tablets here," Han Yulong exclaimed.
Lin San looked in the direction pointed by Han Yulong and found a long table opposite. There were several rows of dark tablets on the table, and there was a huge incense burner directly in front of the tablets.
Han Yulong walked to the long table, took a careful look at the tablets, and immediately frowned.
At this time, Lin San also came over. Looking at the tablets in the first row, he saw the last row clearly: "Hey, the surnames on these tablets all have the same surname, which is interesting," Lin San said roughly After counting, there are 5 rows of tablets on the long table. Each row has 12 tablets. Added together, there are 60 tablets in total. The size, shape and color of these tablets are all the same, and they all bear the surname "Shangguan". , the characters carved on the tablets are very neat and grand, and some of the characters on the tablets are even dyed with red paint. It seems that they should be people with relatively high status here.
The surname "Shangguan" is very rare in China. According to historical records, during the ancient Spring and Autumn Period, there was a place in Chu State named "Shangguan". At that time, King Huai of Chu had a son named Zilan. He was smart, wise and profound since he was a child. King Chu Huai was so fond of him that when Zi Lan came of age, King Chu Huai made him a doctor in the city of "Shangguan". The doctor was an official position in the Chu State at that time. Later, Zilan's descendants directly used "Shangguan" as their surname.
After careful analysis, the surname "Shangguan" has been followed for more than two thousand years. It is considered an ancient surname. Later in history, there were many celebrities with the compound surname Shangguan. The most familiar one is Shangguan Wan. Son, during Wu Zetian's era, Shangguan Wan'er could be said to be very prominent.
