The handle and guard of this knight's sword have rotted away, leaving only the rusty blade. Zhuang Rui crouched down and looked at the sword blade carefully for a while, thinking...
A rough outline appears.
This person must have been killed by a sword from behind without paying attention, because the rotten guard of the knight's sword was on the back of the corpse. In other words, this person was assassinated.
Killed.
But for some reason, the murderer did not kill the sword again, but left it in the body of the deceased, which puzzled Zhuang Rui.
"Damn, why are you thinking so much? I'm not here for archeology..."
Zhuang Rui looked at his watch. It was already past eleven o'clock in the morning. For him, finding something practical was far more important than solving the mystery of this man's death.
After moving the bones aside, Zhuang Rui speeded up the cleaning. Half an hour later, Zhuang Rui found an iron pot from the ruins with a happy face.
Although the nose and ears of the iron pot have been broken and the body of the pot is covered with rust, it is not broken. As long as it is polished with sand, it should still be usable.
This discovery made Zhuang Rui very excited. Having this thing meant that he had fresh fish soup to drink. Thinking of the thick white fresh fish soup, Zhuang Rui almost drooled.
In the corner of the house, Zhuang Rui also found a few shovels, but the wooden handles of the shovels had long since rotted away, and the shovels were covered with thick rust. However, after Zhuang Rui found a few suitable wooden sticks to replace them, they still worked.
can use.
Seeing so many things made Zhuang Rui very motivated. After reluctantly eating the last compressed biscuit at noon, he spent more than two hours cleaning out a wooden house.
"Damn, could it really be a pirate's nest?"
Looking at the messy objects in front of him, Zhuang Rui frowned. Although these things would definitely jump with joy if they were placed in front of some archaeological experts, they would not be of much use to Zhuang Rui.
A dozen oxidized and slightly discolored gold coins, a silver bowl carved in ancient Roman style, and a dagger inlaid with gems. The handle of the dagger is made of gold and silver wire. It is extremely gorgeous, but has been eroded by the years.
, but the sharp edge was as rusty as a piece of iron.
There is also a knight's armor. The head protector can no longer be found. There is only a half-armor. The fabric has completely rotted, but the iron chest protector is still intact.
From these things, Zhuang Rui could tell that the people who once lived here were probably not good people, and were most likely pirates who roamed the sea.
What makes Zhuang Rui a little puzzled is why these pirates built such a place on this isolated island? And who was this skeleton on the ground during his lifetime? And why was he killed by others? Could it be a pirate fire?
Looking at these things in front of him, Zhuang Rui couldn't deduce what happened on the deserted island hundreds of years ago? Maybe he can't come to a conclusion until all these wooden houses are cleaned up.
Seeing that it was already getting late, he wanted to clear out the other wooden houses, which would definitely not be completed in a short time. Zhuang Rui took a javelin and wandered around. He planned to stay nearby at night.
"Hmm? Cave?"
At the foot of the mountain about one kilometer away from the village, Zhuang Rui discovered a cave. It was unknown whether it was man-made or naturally formed. The entrance of the cave was more than two meters wide and high.
Zhuang Rui didn't rush into the cave. Generally, caves are occupied by wild beasts. Who knows if there might be something big inside?
"This is... a cat? No, it should be a cat badger..."
Zhuang Rui first used his spiritual energy to look into the cave. Sure enough, curled up inside was an animal that was slightly smaller than a wild dog but much larger than a domestic cat. It had black and yellow stripes on its body.
"Brother, I'm sorry, this place belongs to me, please move to another place..."
Knowing what was inside, Zhuang Rui was no longer afraid. This kind of cat badger is the most common animal on pirates and feeds on wild birds. When Zhuang Rui saw it, he immediately wanted to occupy the magpie's nest.
.
Generally, cat-badgers live in burrows underground, but this one should be considered a bit different, right?
"boom!"
A stone flew out of Zhuang Rui's hand and smashed into the cave. As if its tail had been stepped on, the badger cat jumped up and ran towards the entrance of the cave.
"Woooo..."
The cat badger let out a low whimper, and stared at Zhuang Rui with a pair of yellow fluorescent eyes, obviously unwilling to give up his nest.
"Go, go..."
Zhuang Rui made a threatening sound in his mouth. Although he was not afraid of this little thing, he was naked and it would be very uncomfortable to be caught by it. It was naturally the best to be able to defeat the enemy without fighting.
However, this cat badger, which had never seen a human before, was very ungrateful. With a slight bow, it jumped up and rushed towards Zhuang Rui's face.
"Num, don't give up, I'll roast you and eat you..."
Although he was not a practicing practitioner, if he couldn't deal with such a thing, Zhuang Rui could find a piece of tofu and hit him to death. Then he raised his right hand, pointed the javelin at the belly of the cat badger, and pierced it.
As if he knew how powerful the javelin was, the cat badger forcibly twisted its body in mid-air, but was still stabbed in the leg by Zhuang Rui.
"Meow!"
Cat Badger let out a sound that was almost like a baby crying. After landing, he rolled over and got into the bushes on the mountain. He never dared to call Zhuang Rui again.
"You are smart..."
Zhuang Rui saw the blood stains on the ground and shook his head. Although he hadn't eaten any meat in the past few days, Zhuang Rui didn't have much interest in cat-shaped animals.
"Damn, it smells so bad?"
After driving away the cat and badger, Zhuang Rui couldn't wait to get into the cave. But as soon as he entered the cave, he smelled a foul smell. The smell made Zhuang Rui almost vomit.
However, Zhuang Rui was not willing to let Zhuang Rui give up the cave and sleep under a big tree. After thinking for a while, Zhuang Rui's eyes lit up.
Zhuang Rui first picked up a large handful of dead branches and leaves and threw them into the cave. Then he took two volcanic stones outside the cave and started beating them. Zhuang Rui, who had already mastered this technique, quickly used the fire to
lit.
He used a javelin to pick up burning branches and threw them into the cave. After igniting the dead leaves inside, thick smoke came out of the cave.
Zhuang Rui kept throwing flammable objects inside, and even ran back to the village and threw a half-rotted wooden door in.
Zhuang Rui also picked up dead branches from the bushes on the mountain. While picking up dead branches, Zhuang Rui also harvested a nest of seven or eight seabird eggs, each of which was about the size of a quail egg.
It looks like it's covered in white spots.
This made Zhuang Rui very excited, and he immediately expanded his search scope, and unexpectedly found three or four seabird nests containing more than twenty eggs in a bush above the cave.
Zhuang Rui had no idea of being an old hen hatching these eggs. He found a wide leaf, wrapped the eggs, and stabbed them into the cave with a javelin, thinking that he would be able to eat the eggs later.
Zhuang Rui couldn't help but salivate.
There was only one side of the cave for ventilation, and the burning flames quickly emptied the oxygen in the cave. The fire gradually extinguished, but the smoke became more dense and kept pouring out of the cave.
After more than ten minutes, Zhuang Rui used a javelin to pull out the bird eggs held by the leaves, peeled off the thin egg shells, and found that the roasted bird eggs tasted extremely delicious. After eating more than twenty bird eggs, let
Zhuang Rui was so comfortable that he almost ejaculated.
That is to say, Zhuang Rui once had the experience of living alone in the Snowy Mountains for a few days. Otherwise, just for more than a week, the feeling of loneliness can drive people crazy.
However, if there weren't some creatures on the island, I'm afraid Zhuang Rui wouldn't be able to sustain it. In the past few days, he started to mutter to himself about the fish in the pool. As time went by, all kinds of problems started to appear.
"It seems we can't live here today..."
Zhuang Rui felt a little regretful when he looked at Shandong, which was still sending out thick smoke, but thinking about the bad smell of cats and badgers, he would rather wait one more day.
It seems that there is still a lot of work to do if you want to live here.
Zhuang Rui forgot about such an important matter as drinking fish soup. He took a shovel and dug a trap outside the cave. Otherwise, there wouldn't even be a door. How could he feel at ease at night?
Zhuang Rui had nothing but good physical strength. He spent three or four hours digging a deep pit half a meter away from the cave entrance, which was three meters deep and two meters wide, surrounding the cave entrance in a semi-arc shape.
On the right side of the cave entrance, Zhuang Rui left a strip of land only thirty centimeters wide, which he used for entry and exit.
After finishing these tasks, the sky gradually darkened. The birds returning to their nests seemed to feel that their eggs were gone, and kept hovering in the sky, making shrill screams.
The bird thief Zhuang Rui naturally shrank his neck and kept silent. He was also planning to go to the stream early tomorrow morning to see if he could catch a goat and roast it.
It is said that on this isolated island, apart from thinking about what to eat every day, Zhuang Rui seems to have nothing else to pursue.
Well, the wooden house village can continue to be excavated, but even if there is any archaeological discovery that shocks the world, Zhuang Rui cannot make it public.
Zhuang Rui did not go back to the beach at night, but curled up and slept at the entrance of the cave.
At night, Zhuang Rui had a dream, which seemed to be about his twin baby girl. The son was very naughty. When Zhuang Rui hugged him, he grabbed Zhuang Rui's hair hard.
"Don't make trouble, be obedient..."
Zhuang Rui, who was sleeping in a daze, felt someone stroking his hair and couldn't help but reach out and fiddle with it.
But after Zhuang Rui stretched out his hand, he subconsciously felt something was wrong. He immediately opened his eyes, only to find a figure standing vaguely in front of him.
