Chapter 254 The Skull in the Clay Pot
"Brother Mo! I know what these clay pots are about!"
Wuxie, who had been studying on his own, shouted at this moment, startling the other three people who were immersed in their own world.
Wuxie ran over holding a clay jar with the mud seal on it already opened.
Wuxie held the jar with one hand and used the plastic lid of a disposable lunch box to press tightly against the mouth of the jar with the other hand to prevent the Corpse King from running out.
Through the transparent plastic lid, you can see a skull in the jar that is only slightly smaller than the jar, and red corpse turtle kings are constantly crawling around on the skull.
"You see, the skull in this jar is bigger than the mouth of the jar. It's impossible to put it in under normal circumstances. I thought about it and thought this must be an ancient method of burial.
For young slaves or captives, a clay pot was placed on their heads and food was fed through the gap between the pot and their necks. When they grew older and the food could no longer fit in, their heads were chopped off. By then, their heads had grown too big to fit in the pot.
Wuxie said this while moving the clay pot in front of the others.
Zhang Moyu didn't understand why he was studying these things, but he still liked this junior Wuxie very much, so even though he was not interested, he pretended to listen carefully.
But Zhang Benling didn't give Wuxie much face. He took the earthen jar from his hand and quickly stuffed the corpse turtle kings into the mineral water bottle.
"I have a use for the remaining clay pots. Don't touch them."
Worried that Wuxie might dismantle the other sealed earthenware jars for research, or accidentally break them and release all the corpse turtle kings inside, Zhang Benling gave him a warning in a deep voice.
These were all treasures left behind by their ancestors, valuable research resources. If Wu Xie accidentally released them all, by the time they organized their forces to capture them, who knew how many would have escaped.
It is very difficult to cultivate poisonous insects, and it is equally difficult to cultivate the corpse turtle king, which is a mutation of ordinary corpse turtles.
Of course, it makes people happier to pick up something for free and use it than to spend a lot of money to cultivate it.
"oh……"
Wuxie felt a little depressed for a moment when he saw that the other three people present didn't care much about what he had researched.
After just a short while apart, he started to miss Fatty. Without his good friend Wang Pangzi around to sing along, he felt like he was missing a supporting role, and his interest in researching further had also diminished a lot.
After coming down from the shipwreck tomb, the first thing Zhang Benling did was to take his cell phone and call his beloved subordinates.
Ask them to prepare sealed boxes and cotton foam and other things to prevent valuables from being bumped into, and transport them to the location of the shipwreck tomb, and take all the pottery jars back first.
Because of the toxicity and danger of the Corpse Turtle King, they were specifically instructed to have at least two family members accompany the team, all of whom had to wear protective clothing and be careful when carrying it.
Wuxie had just come down from the rock wall along the rope and looked eagerly at Fatty Wang who had been waiting for a long time.
After a passionate exchange of ideas with similar interests and in unison, Wuxie nodded in satisfaction as Fatty Wang kept saying "So that's how it is" and "Great, Tian Zhen, you know so much."
That's right. Those three people were not interested in what he said at all. Each one was more perfunctory than the other. He didn't feel any sense of accomplishment when he told them about his research results.
The two of them were chatting happily, but before they got in the car, they saw Huo Xiuxiu getting off the first RV with an angry look on her face. She didn't even look at them when she passed by, as if she didn't see them as two living people.
Thinking of the friendship they had in their childhood, Wuxie whispered in a concerned voice.
"Xiu Xiu, what's wrong? Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"
"Hey? Wasn't this young lady fine just now?"
Fatty Wang, who had just started his matchmaking career and hadn't yet decided whether to bring the two together, looked puzzled. He had been shy just a dozen minutes ago, but now he was furious. It was true that a woman's face was like the weather in June, changing at any time.
"What are you two doing standing outside? Come in quickly."
Xie Yuchen felt puzzled as he looked at the two people standing outside the car door, neither getting in nor leaving.
"Xiaohua, Xiuxiu..."
As soon as Wuxie got in the car, he asked about what happened with Huo Xiuxiu, and then instantly received ambiguous looks from the people around him.
Hearing that he was so concerned about Huo Xiuxiu, Xie Yuchen first looked Wuxie up and down, then looked away thoughtfully.
"It's okay, I'm just a little worried that she might get into trouble on this trip. Mrs. Huo didn't force her to follow, she just wanted her to wait here and not go any further.
That is, we wanted her to return to the capital with the people from Qilin Pharmaceuticals, but this girl was not happy about it and was just throwing a tantrum."
Xie Yuchen explained it lightly, telling the truth, but not the real reason.
The actual focus is what happened after Xie Yuchen said these words.
Huo Xiuxiu was reluctant to go back. As she was just beginning to fall in love, she wanted to take this opportunity to have more contact with Zhang Ruiping.
Seeing that the two people had a dispute, Zhang Ruiping, who was very good at guessing the "saint's heart" and particularly eager to make progress, weighed the importance of these two people in the patriarch's heart. He only wanted to talk about work and not feelings, so he immediately had a plan in his mind.
He directly and bluntly brought out his previous statement that he didn't like women and put it out in the open, without showing any mercy to either of them.
That heartless look shattered Huo Xiuxiu's girlish heart, which had just become lively, and her eyes turned red.
It was only then that Xie Yuchen discovered Huo Xiuxiu's little thoughts about Zhang Ruiping.
Although the little sister he had grown up with was now wronged, Xie Yuchen also felt that the Zhang family was not a good match for Huo Xiuxiu, so he bluntly said that they were not suitable.
Having just experienced the sentimental sadness of "flowers falling, water flowing, and no mercy", her sincerity was wasted. She was then scolded by her brother, who had doted on her since she was a child. With red eyes, Huo Xiuxiuyun left in anger.
Xie Yuchen, who had the best relationship with Huo Xiuxiu here, covered up the matter, and the others tacitly did not mention it again. Instead, they changed the subject and talked about other things, and the atmosphere instantly became relaxed.
Only Xie Yuchen was still thinking about Huo Xiuxiu.
He had not expected that Huo Xiuxiu would fall in love with this Zhang family member next to Zhang Qiling.
Although the understanding is not deep now, it can be seen from his recent behavior that Zhang Ruiping is a very scheming person. He is good at observing people's words and expressions while also using means to flatter his superiors. Now he is completely focused on Zhang Qiling.
To put it bluntly, this man is just like the eunuchs beside the emperors in the feudal period. He is either thinking about making money or developing his career. How could he have any thoughts about love?
