At first, I just thought that the posture of this skeleton was indeed a bit strange, but as soon as Ma Dad reminded me, I immediately figured out that this skeleton was kneeling on its knees, with its hands hanging down, and its forehead pressed against the rock wall.
At first glance, it looked like he was kneeling there.
"I just said this place is evil and people die in such weird ways. You still don't believe it."
The clothes on the skeleton were rotten and shattered into pieces when touched by hands. There were some messy things scattered around, including weapons, kettles, torches, and dry food bags. According to the old habit, I walked here and saw the previously dead people.
If you are a person, Mustache will definitely check it carefully, at least to know how the person died.
We were frightened by the messy rock crevices extending in all directions, so Chen Ran said that this person was probably trapped to death by the intricate rock crevices.
"He was trapped and couldn't get out? Did he die here?" I don't agree with Chen Ran's words. Is it an ordinary person who can touch this place?
"I don't think it's that simple either." Ma Dad rummaged through the things on the ground, picked up a very torn bag, and took out two unrecognizable things from it: "Even if you are trapped to death, kneel here and do it
Well? Look, there’s still water in the kettle, and there’s food in the ration bag. After all, it’s a life. Who would be willing to die until the end of the line?”
I nodded involuntarily. In that kind of desperate situation, people's desire to survive is actually quite strong. As long as the supplies they carry with them can still survive, they will continue to look for a way out. Unless there are special circumstances, they will never
He will die before he runs out of ammunition and food.
In the dark and deep rock crevices of the mountain, a corpse was kneeling upright in the corridor. It felt very awkward. Mustache and the guy put on gloves and carefully lifted the skeleton and laid it flat on the ground. Only two pieces of the skeleton were left.
The leg bones have been fixed into a curled shape, and that posture looks chilling down the spine. Judging from the things carried with the body, he died a long time ago, and it must have been before liberation at the earliest.
Mustache squatted next to the skeleton and looked at it, wanting to check the cause of death, but he was not a professional forensic doctor after all. Apart from the weird posture of the skeleton, there was nothing abnormal about it in other aspects. After observing for a long time, Mustache reached out and gently wiped away the bones.
A little bit of dust on the forehead says to us: "Look."
There were several small linear cracks on the forehead of the corpse's skull. In fact, it may not be appropriate to say this. In regular hospitals, this situation is called a linear fracture. Seeing these, Ma Dad touched me and swallowed.
Spit said: "Could this man be kneeling in the aisle and knocking himself to death?"
I also felt that this analysis seemed to make sense. Before I could think about it carefully, Mustache used a dagger to pick out a very thin rope from the pile of rotten rags between the neck bones of the skeleton, and then asked me to go.
Look, when I saw what was hanging at the end of the rope, I was surprised.
Another Huwei card!
Mustache took off the silver medal and handed it to me casually. Neither Ma Dad nor Chen Ran knew what it was. They asked around, but I ignored them and used a dagger to pry the silver medal open. There were two lines of small words engraved on the inside of the silver medal:
The beginning is a name, Wei Changyi.
This is definitely a genuine Huwei card, which means that the deceased is a member of the Wei family. Judging from the name, he is undoubtedly the old man's second brother.
I have realized that the relationship between the old man’s family and this matter is really deep, and their insight into the hidden truth is much more than I imagined, because decades ago, the Wei family already knew about Kaiyang Mountain.
and Yuntan Peak.
"Cao Shi is really lying..." I felt like closing my eyes, but at this time I really couldn't be sure whether Cao Shi deliberately lied to me or the old man lied to him.
The relationship between the Wei family and these things can be considered later, but the remains in front of me really make me embarrassed. In any case, the deceased was the old man’s brother. Although I have never even seen his photo, it is still considered
My elders. If you see the remains of your elders left alone, it would be unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally. It was better last time in Kaiyang Mountain, and the remains were buried anyway. In this situation, there is no way.
After thinking for a long time, I decided to take the remains out, so I asked the people next to me for help and asked them to tie the skeleton to my back. Chen Ran didn't know the situation and thought I was crazy. The monk knew the inside story and didn't say anything.
, make a rope and tie it into a simple noose, then put the skeleton in the pocket and carry it on your back.
After doing this, Xiaozhu looked at the scattered skeleton in front of him. I thought to myself that the two uncles died together, so I had to ask the monk to help me carry one. Carrying this thing on my back was really awkward.
It’s uncomfortable. In fact, it’s not sinking. The key is that I can’t stand it psychologically. I know it’s just a few human bones, but I always feel like it’s staring at me from behind.
The second skeleton had been completely destroyed by external forces and was scattered all over the floor, mixed with various items that the deceased had carried with him during his lifetime. The aisle was very narrow, and it was difficult for two people to stand side by side, so the mustache squatted
When we came down to look at these bones, other people could only stand at the back.
"The two remains are not together. They were separated by a long time."
When he said this, I breathed a sigh of relief. Since I am not an elder of the Wei family, there is no need to take this skeleton out.
Mustache stretched out his hand to pick at the pile of bones and slowly looked around. I thought I had discovered the situation again, but he kept silent. I don’t know what kind of plane he was doing. After being silent for at least a few minutes, Mustache called Chen Ran beside him.
He gathered up all the scattered bones and tied them into a bundle with rope. The remaining fragmentary bones and the skull were stuffed into his backpack, apparently ready to be taken out.
"Take all these bones away?" Chen Ran was probably confused by the actions of Xiao Hu and I. His face was full of surprise. I was also a little puzzled. There was nothing I could do with the skeleton on my back. He left with a bunch of broken bones.
What's the use? A guy like Mustache doesn't just sit around and mess around. If he wants to do this, he must have a reason to do it. It's disturbing so many people, so I'm too embarrassed to ask.
After dealing with these two human bones and setting off again, I couldn't calm down anymore. What Mustache said once was absolutely correct. This matter has exceeded my imagination in terms of time span. At least, the Wei family has
I started to be exposed to this matter decades ago and it continues to this day. As far as I know, at least three of the old man’s brothers have had their lives involved, but the old man still perseveres and keeps walking along this road.
, I can’t figure out what secret is hidden behind this matter, so that it is so attractive.
There was nothing unusual around him anymore. Ma Dad was still lingering in place, probably because he wanted to waste the ten hours. He must have regretted it. He originally wanted to follow Mustache and the monk to prevent them from playing tricks behind their backs.
But I never imagined that the situation here would be so complicated.
"Let's take a break and eat something here so that we can have energy to walk later." Ma Dad said and sat down, looking for something to eat in his backpack.
But Mustache ignored his words at all. He tidied up and walked forward alone. As soon as he left, monk Chen Ran followed him, leaving Ma Dad alone and rolling his eyes.
The road here is definitely something we have never walked before, and as we walked forward for a while, Mustache's footsteps gradually slowed down, because the terrain became more complex, and there were more and more cracks in the mountain, almost everywhere.
The point is visible. After walking for a while, we run out of path, and we need to choose one of the entrances of these gaps and walk down.
This will definitely become more and more confusing, and Mustache, who has always been very calm, seems a bit hesitant. But I soon discovered that his hesitation was not because he was afraid that we would be entangled and unable to get out, but because he was hesitant about which choice to make.
A road goes deeper.
"No matter what happens again this time, don't get separated, we must get together." Mustache said back to us when entering the next entrance.
"Anyway, we don't have much time, so you can do whatever you want." Ma Dad didn't show any weakness and immediately replied.
"These roads are too difficult to walk. If Huaiqinglin is here, I'm afraid he can handle it." I shook my head regretfully. Huaiqinglin is really a rare talent, but it's a pity that no one can win him over for a long time.
he.
"Huaiqing Lin's health is not good." Xiao Hu slowly walked into the entrance and said without looking back.
The monk told me that people like Huaiqinglin are destined to have a short life. Their physical functions are very poor and their immunity is also very low. After wandering around in the Kaiyang forest for a while, although he was not injured, he fell ill after returning.
I can't even get out of bed.
Such an environment greatly limits our speed. Mustache walks very slowly because he has to keep the path he has taken in mind while finding the way. We seem to be trapped in a huge spider, and the road is messy.
It dazzled me. I don’t have the brains of a mustache, so I became dizzy after memorizing it for a while.
The slowness was beyond my imagination. In the next almost ten hours, the detours we took were pitifully small when converted into a straight line distance. Ma Dad kept looking at his watch, and then he jumped in front of Mustache and took the flashlight.
According to his own watch, he said: "Beard, it's time."
"You can go back on your own."
Mustache seemed to have forgotten what he had said before, and Ma Dad wanted to argue, but Mustache had already pushed him away and walked forward on his own. Ma Dad went to pull the monk, but the monk said he was sorry, and Chen Ran did not dare to talk to him.
.
"You're still fucking unreasonable. You just put up your pants and don't admit it, right? This is all left over from my play."
Ma Dad stopped talking as he spoke, because several of us saw a small space appearing behind the rock crevice in front of us, which was at most seven or eight meters long and wide.
