Gou Zi held his breath, prying open the corpse's mouth with his hands, his eyes fixed on something else. Ye Wanying, however, studied everything inside the corpse's mouth as if it were a dish, staring at it for several dozen seconds.
"Alright, you can close it now." After saying that, he lifted the corpse's eyelids to examine the condition of the eyeballs.
Gouzi quickly closed the corpse's mouth, then took a step back and squatted down beside the corpse. Out of the corner of his eye, he could still see other details on the corpse: "Sister-in-law, those scars are strange, aren't they?"
The place that Gouzi was referring to was the scars on the corpse from the chest to the stomach, and then on the thighs and calves, from which yellowish-brown liquid was seeping outwards.
I felt so nauseous that I almost threw up what I ate three days ago.
"Don't touch it. We don't know what caused it yet, but it's not surprising. It could be syphilis or the plague. If you accidentally get it, even a god can't save you!"
syphilis?
plague?
Upon hearing this, Gouzi was so frightened that he immediately stood up and moved a meter away: "Sister-in-law, are you serious?"
Ye Wanying was using a twig to stir the yellowish-turbid liquid flowing from the wounds. After stirring, she forcefully pushed the twig into the wounds and pulled it out. Sure enough, there were some small white particles stuck to the twig. If you looked closely, you could see that the slightly larger little things were moving!
maggot?
Then this person's body must be completely rotten inside, and it has been rotten for a long time, otherwise it would be impossible for maggots to grow so quickly.
However, after the examination, it can be accurately determined that the body has been dead for no more than two hours! This is because many parts of the body are not completely stiff, and there are only a few livid spots on the body.
Everyone knows that the longer a body has been dead, the more livor mortis will develop!
What exactly happened?
He habitually rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
Although Gouzi felt extremely disgusted, he still dutifully became vigilant.
The quiet mountain forest was now eerily still: "Gouzi, go wake that old man up, I have a question for him!"
"become!"
The old man slowly woke up and immediately saw the corpse that had been turned over not far in front of him. His expression became somewhat dejected.
Ye Wanying approached with a slight frown: "Are you here to transport these corpses?" she asked.
Upon hearing this, the old man remained silent and did not reply.
"It's no use if you don't say anything. We'll find out what we need to know; it's just a matter of time! I'll ask you one more time: yes or no?"
For a long time, I thought the old man wouldn't speak again...
"Yes! So what? Even if you know everything, there's nothing you can do. Over the years, it's not that no one has noticed the problem, but it has never been exposed. Do you know what that means?"
Neither Ye Wanying nor Gou Zi spoke, waiting for the old man to continue.
Sure enough, the old man soon began to laugh, a sinister laugh. In the quiet, eerie mountain forest, the old man's laughter was enough to set off a terrifying scene.
"Because... some of them got promoted and made a fortune, while others were buried here forever!" The old man's gaze went directly to the direction where the bodies had been dug out.
The meaning is clear.
“Young man, you’re always so ridiculously foolish. No one has dared to come here for so many years. Can’t you guess what’s going on?” The old man said, then let out another sinister laugh.
