"I thought about it, this old man must be an innocent soul, so he is here to keep vigil." The big man said again in an idiotic manner.
"Go away. If there is an innocent soul, it's not his alone. It should belong to the whole cemetery." I rolled my eyes at the big man, but he actually said useless nonsense.
"If he's not a ghost, how do you explain it? He's a living person? What era is he from? It's not like modern people are just sitting around guarding their tombs, right?" The big man looked at me coldly,
He defended himself again.
But what he said makes sense. Who is that damn old man? As long as I understand him, I think these things can be solved. I glanced at Jiao Ba, and Jiao Ba handed me a
That special look, this look, reminded me of a very important thing.
When I first came to this island, Jiao Ba once told me something, Thousand-Year Ginseng, which was something that people could live forever after eating.
If there is such a magical thing on this island, then this mysterious old man really needs to be investigated carefully. If he is really from the Ming Dynasty, this is simply unbelievable and has completely subverted the scope of my understanding.
And that doll fruit, I remember he also told me that this is probably the ungrown Millennium Ginseng, so where is the grown Millennium Ginseng?
I accidentally looked up at those peaks, and suddenly thought, maybe...maybe the answer would be there. Didn't that old man always stay on the peaks? He might live there. Maybe the so-called Millennium Ginseng,
Just on these mountain peaks.
"No matter what he is, he can't be a ghost, so stop speculating about it." I didn't express my thoughts. There must be someone in our group who knows everything behind the scenes.
Especially those two men in black, I suddenly thought, could all of this be done intentionally by these two men in black? Was their fight fake and their purpose was to disrupt my thinking?
After all, I have never seen the faces of these two men in black. If they join forces, then this matter will be difficult to handle. It is a bit messy, indeed it is a bit messy. The more I analyze this matter, the more headache I get.
But now one thing can be concluded, this island is basically the next stop we are looking for.
"Ignore that damn old man for now, we have to find out the age of the people buried here, so we can determine whether this is the next stop." Jiao Ba said straightforwardly.
"It's very simple. Just dig up the grave and see the people inside." Li Xin revealed the secret. As long as you open the grave, you can basically find out.
"Well... it's possible to dig the grave to the point, but if the rot inside is too severe, there may be only one skeleton left, or nothing. Besides, we don't have the tools to dig the grave." Mr. Mai
expressed his concerns.
"Otherwise, what else can we do? We can only try." Li Xin emphasized again that there is really no other way at the moment.
Chang Shan glanced at Li Xin and said slowly, "As long as there are items inside, Jiao Ba should be able to distinguish them, but we don't have any tools in our hands. I think digging a grave..."
Before Chang Shan could finish what he said, I said, "Go to ***, let's dig it. If you don't have tools, just use your hands. I don't believe you can't dig it open."
"Nonsense, how long do you have to dig with your hands? The coffin down here is several meters deep. You will be exhausted before you can dig it." Mr. Mai glared at me and growled in a low voice.
But he was right. I was too anxious just now. It was impossible to dig with my hands. Before I even got halfway through, my hands would be useless.
"Then what do you think we should do? If we don't dig out, how can we find out where these people are?" I pushed the question back again.
"I don't know either. We don't have shovels and pickaxes, so we can't dig this grave at all. The soil is very dense, so we won't be able to do it recklessly." Mai Lao reached out and grabbed a handful of grave soil and said while looking at everyone.
Shunzi patted me and said, "Brother Yi, why don't we stop digging and just go to the top of the mountain."
"No, you have to dig it up. If you want to figure things out, you have to do this." Before I could say anything, Li Xin vetoed Shunzi coldly.
Jiao Ba squatted down again and grabbed a handful of grave soil with his hands. Then he looked around with a flashlight and said as if to himself, "This grave soil has traces of being washed down by rain. According to this
Analysis, this island should rain often."
He looked up at the sky again and said, "It's going to rain now. In a place where it rains often, the grave bags are easily washed open. If the pit dug underground was not deep at that time, then we still have a chance to open it."
.”
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Jiao Ba is right. Maybe there are some buried graves nearby. Let's look for them again." Chang Shan looked very excited, as if victory was right in front of him.
But Shunzi suddenly said, "This cemetery is so big that it's impossible to find it. We can't afford the time." Jenny and others also agreed with Shunzi. The big man also said he wouldn't dig it anymore and asked to go directly.
Go up the mountain.
I glanced at the deepest part in front of me, pointed my hand and said, "Just go there, I believe you can definitely find the tomb bag that has been opened."
"Zhongyi, are you sure?" Mr. Mai asked me sharply.
"I'm not sure, it's just my intuition." I told the truth. Mr. Mai's insight was too strong and it was impossible to deceive him.
"I'm not sure it's better not to take risks. It's almost invisible inside. If something happens, we won't be able to get out. If you want to see, it's better to hurry up and go up the mountain. It's going down soon.
If it rains, it will be difficult to go up the mountain." Mr. Mai held my shoulders and said seriously.
"Yes, Brother Yi, just listen to Mr. Mai. Let's hurry up and go up the mountain before the rain falls. Maybe we can also find the secret of unlocking the island." Shunzi also had a pleading look on his face. I don't know.
What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?
I secretly glanced at Jiao Ba to ask for his opinion. Jiao Ba's eyes were dim and he just shook his head gently towards me.
I raised my heart and said, "Well, if you don't want to go, then I'll go and see for myself. If anything happens, I'll be responsible for it myself. Mr. Mai, give me the flashlight."
Mai Lao's expression changed, "Do you really want to go?"
"Well, you're right to worry about other people's safety. I'll take the lead." I stretched out my hand, asking him to give me the flashlight.
"Yi Ge, just..."
"Shut up, there's no need to talk nonsense." Shunzi started to speak, but was interrupted by my sharp voice.
"Forget it, I'll go with you." Mr. Mai finally agreed.
I smiled and said, "No need, Mr. Mai. I'm fine by myself. You can just take care of the others here. Give me an hour. If I haven't come back after an hour, you can go straight up the mountain."
No need to wait for me."
Jenny suddenly said, "Zhongyi, you should listen to Mr. Mai, it's too dangerous out there."
I ignored her words and instead glanced at Li Xin. In the darkness, I couldn't see her eyes clearly, but I always felt that she was also looking at me. She didn't speak and I didn't know what she was thinking.
If I really die, will Li Xin feel sorry for me, or will she laugh happily? In this graveyard full of gloom, I actually still have the heart to think about it. This is really amusing myself.
ah.
Mr. Mai stared at me for a while, then put the flashlight in my hand, "Okay, since you insist on going, I won't stop you. Please pay attention to safety. We will wait for you here. What did you find?"
, notify me as soon as possible."
I nodded, turned around and walked inside, but when I had just walked a few steps, Jiao Ba called me from behind, "Brother Yi, wait a moment."
I stopped and turned around to see him and Chang Shan running over quickly, "Brother Yi, I'll go with you, we are brothers together." Jiao Ba grinned at me.
"Count me in, let's come together." Chang Shan patted my arm with a smile on his face.
I shook my head and said, "Then why are you still standing there? Let's go."
The three of us walked towards the deepest part of the cemetery with wooden guns in hand. It took about ten minutes. When I turned around again, I could no longer see Mr. Mai and the others. There was nothing to see except the dark mountains.
arrive.
"Are you still leaving, brother?" Jiao Ba asked me.
"Let's walk further in." We walked for a while, and then I stopped and said, "Let's just stay here. Let's spread out. The two of you are together. If you encounter trouble, just shout loudly, Jiao Ba, you take care of me."
Hello brother Changshan." Changshan didn't have a flashlight, so he had to follow someone.
"Well, you are also a sworn brother, so be careful." After Jiao Ba finished speaking, he and Chang Shan walked to the right.
And I walked to the left alone. It was really dark here, and I felt that the air around me was changing. I couldn't see anything around me except the flashlight light.
I walked forward carefully, carefully observing every grave bag around me, trying not to leave any behind. The distance between these grave bags is very close, so as long as there is an empty space around one of the grave bags,
That proves that there are grave bags that were washed away by rain.
I walked a short distance again, but I still didn't see any graves washed away by the rain. I was already far away from Mai Lao and the others, and I didn't know what was going on with Jiao Ba and Chang Shan.
Ever since I walked into the depths of this cemetery, I always felt like someone was following me, but every time I turned around, there was nothing there. I was afraid it was that damn old man again. That old guy was elusive and unknown.
It will appear suddenly.
To be honest, no matter how brave I am, I still feel a little guilty when walking alone in such a large cemetery. The tension has never gone away. This is because I still have a flashlight in my hand, otherwise it would be even more unbearable.
, in this place full of death, it is the most frightening...
