It can be seen that some repairs have been done to this cave and some stone furniture has been moved here. I guess given the humid environment here, the wood will rot in a short time.
It is estimated that the roof of this cave is very thin. When they fell, they happened to hit the roof, which acted as a buffer and broke through the roof. However, both of them were fine, which was a blessing in misfortune.
Deng Yanshuo opened some large stone fragments, and some bones were exposed. The bones were covered with mold and the like, and they looked dark, green, and definitely not good-looking.
"It seems that the man died here." The place Deng Yanshuo opened should be the bed in this room at that time. The man also died here. It has been a long time, and the flesh has rotted away, and only the bones are still on the bed.
"Let's look for something that can identify him. Normal people wouldn't live at the bottom of a cliff like this."
People are reduced to bones, and they are not characters in Bones. They can still see so many problems by looking at the bones. Besides, these bones are rotten and broken. Even bones have to spend a lot of time to repair them.
It takes a lot of high-tech tools to check it out. If you are a female partner, why bother to spend such thankless efforts.
Although there is some light at the bottom of the cliff to see the general outline, it is too deep in the end. You can only see the outline of Manmei, unless the color contrast is very strong, such as the original color of the fur cloak on her body, which cannot be seen now.
She could find that anything else was equivalent to thousands of degrees of myopia.
Deng Yanshuo had always been in this kind of environment, and he adapted quickly. After listening to Manmei's words, he started to rummage around in the cave, and he actually found some among the piles of piles of rubble of various colors.
thing.
Manmiao saw him take out a dark object, and she came up to look at it. It felt like a leather bag, bulging with a lot of things in it.
The bag was carefully tied with a rope, and with graceful hands, the knot was untied. When the thing was taken out, it was a stack of parchment or something like that.
Manmei looked at the parchment in her hand, which was full of black lines.
In the ancient East, time-consuming and laborious things like parchment were generally not used. Bamboo slips were used before the invention of paper. Paper has been used since the invention of paper. Occasionally, there are those carved on stones and jade.
It is a stele or other deeds that need to be preserved for a long time. This kind of parchment is really rare.
It probably has something to do with the fact that there are no large tracts of pasture in the East and there are few places to raise sheep. In short, seeing parchment in a seaside city like this gives me the feeling of traveling through time and space.
The parchment has not been cut very much. It is a large piece of leather with many words written densely on it. I don’t know what the ink is made of, but it is not affected by this environment. It is still very clear and has not been blurred at all.
a feeling of.
This place is really too dark, and with the faint light, I read each word word by word. Fortunately, the parchment paper is still white, and black words are easier to read. It’s just that it’s inconvenient to read it vertically. You have to hold the parchment paper.
After constantly raising it to look at it, Manmei found a place with better lighting and spread out the parchment paper so that she could see more clearly.
The sheepskin is limited, the writing is very concise, standard classical Chinese, Manmei hasn't studied Chinese in many years, I feel dizzy when I look at it, as if I have returned to the study hell and nightmare time of the college entrance examination, I just wish I could destroy the corpse and bones
He took it out and whipped the corpse to vent his anger.
After guessing and being confused, coupled with Deng Yanshuo's translation and explanation, I understood most of the meaning.
After all, he is still the young master of a big family. Someone from the Deng family also taught him writing and other things. According to him, he usually communicates by writing instead of speaking. He is relieved when he thinks about it. With such a voice and speaking speed, he can speak
I can't even explain clearly, so I might as well write it down.
Speaking of which, this content is really shocking, at least it is very important news to the Deng family.
This person was born in the seventh year of Yuan Cheng. As for this year name, even Deng Yanshuo didn't know when it was. He estimated that it was at least 50 years ago.
His family, the Cheng family, has been a sailing family for generations. They rely on the sea for food, fishing and selling goods. They are a relatively famous family in Laizhou. Many of the family members are proficient in navigation. The family also has strong financial resources to build ocean-going ships. After a long period of time,
With the development of the country, we have trade relations with many deep-sea island countries. Every year we sell goods out to sea along the ocean, and we earn a lot of money.
By chance, on the way back from selling goods, in order to avoid the storm at sea, a group of ships from the family discovered the island. They went ashore to take shelter from the storm and found some exquisite handicrafts, which were not at all like those in the world.
It was so exquisite that people can make it. Everyone started grabbing the treasures like crazy. Everyone on the boat took a few things back.
At the same time, people who came to the island with the ship began to suffer from serious epidemics. Just like the group of people who went to sea with the Deng family, their skin ulcerated and their hair fell out. Many people died directly on the island. But these people
Among them, some people still stubbornly insisted on returning to Laizhou and handed over the things they brought back from the island to their family members.
At first they thought it was an epidemic, but when all the people in the group died and no one showed signs of being infected, the family felt relieved and moved the things on the ship ashore.
The things he brought back were very beautiful, and everyone in the family liked them very much. They placed them at home. As a result, the family began to be cursed. Women would miscarry when they were pregnant. Even if they gave birth to children, they would be missing arms and legs, or else they would be pregnant.
When they are born, they are stillborn or secretly executed like monsters.
Later, the elders and patriarchs of their family became afraid, fearing that their family would be angered by Poseidon, and threw things back into the sea to return them to Poseidon. The family then calmed down, and there were no more stillbirths, but there were still abnormal and healthy children born. This way
It took several years before normal children began to be born in the family.
The owner of this parchment book is called Cheng An. He is unfortunate. He is a child who was born after throwing things into the sea. But the effect of the curse is still there. After he was born, his whole body was very hot and he could not sweat. He had to be in a cool and moist place.
Only in the environment can he live. His parents couldn't bear to kill him, so they named him An, hoping that he could grow up healthy and safe. They arranged for loyal servants to let him live here. Cheng An was in poor health and liked to read books.
, I read all the books but couldn't find a way to lift the family curse.
Seeing this, Deng Yanshuo seemed very excited. He always thought that he was the one abandoned by God. He was born like this. He didn't expect to find similar people. Although his bones were all broken, to him, he still felt...
Very kind.
