The heavy rain lasted for nearly ten minutes and then gradually became smaller. Even though the downpour became smaller, it still didn't stop. But at least I can stand up now. The heavy rain just now was so heavy that I couldn't stop.
Neither can leave.
The three of us barely supported our bodies and stood up. Everywhere in my body hurt. The rain was really extraordinary. I felt like I had been beaten up. "Oh my god, it hurts me so much."
Oh, this rain can kill people."
"Yes, it finally stopped, Jiao Ba, shall we continue?" Chang Shan turned to ask him.
Jiao Ba lit up his flashlight, stared ahead and said, "We don't need to continue."
"What? Are you planning to go back?" I wiped the rain off my face. My whole body was soaked. When the breeze blew, my whole body shivered.
He suddenly laughed, "Hey, it seems that the heavy rain was not in vain. Look at the front."
I also turned on the flashlight and looked forward. When I saw the place where the pit was dug, my eyes suddenly lit up and I immediately became energetic. What appeared in front of us was a large rectangular pit, which was obviously for coffins.
place, this must have been caused by the heavy rain just now.
"Not bad, it saved us some energy. It seems that the heavy rain was not in vain." Chang Shan also looked very excited.
"Let's go over and take a look." I waved my hand, and the three of us quickly walked to the side of the grave pit. We shined the flashlight from top to bottom. There was a coffin less than three meters deep below.
This coffin is not big. It is smaller than the coffins in the previous sunken ship. There is probably less than half a meter of space around the coffin, which should be able to accommodate one person.
"It seems that the pit is not really deep, only about three meters. I must have been in a hurry at the time." Chang Shan squatted at the entrance of the pit and looked inside.
"Okay, let's not waste time and go down and take a look."
When I was about to leave, Jiao Ba grabbed me and said, "Don't go down yet, let the corpse gas release, otherwise you will be easily poisoned."
The three of us waited up there for another ten minutes. I said a little anxiously, "Okay? It's been more than half an hour, and we'll be here in less than an hour." It's already time for Mr. Mai and I to get better.
It's almost here, there's no time to delay.
"Okay, let's go down." Jiao Ba took the lead and jumped directly. He first jumped onto the coffin lid, and then went down to the ground.
Chang Shan and I also hurried down. The three of us were on one side, and the space was just enough. I took a look with a flashlight first. The coffin was not black, but closer to red, but not red yet. It was somewhat similar to
The combination of red and black is very special.
"The color of this coffin is very special. Maybe when you are alive, you will be a person with status." I wiped off the dust on the coffin lid with my hands.
Jiao Ba looked around the coffin and said without even raising his head, "You are wrong. This is a very ordinary coffin. Whether it is wood or size, it is a very ordinary thing, but the color is a bit special.
.”
"It looks like this coffin is quite old, and the surrounding area is almost corroded. I estimate... it must be at least a hundred years old." Chang Shan stood next to me and patted the coffin lid.
"A hundred years ago? So... it's really possible that he was from the Ming Dynasty?" Chang Shan could say this, and I think it's almost the same.
"Don't you two make assumptions? You'll know if you open it and take a look. Brother Yi, use a knife to remove the nails from the coffin lid. Let's prepare to open the coffin." Jiao Ba took out a sharp knife and began to remove the nails from the coffin.
Chang Shan and I quickly started to work. The nails on this coffin are very long, but maybe because of the long time, it didn’t take much effort to open one. It took only a few clicks to open one, and it didn’t take ten minutes.
Well, we took out all the nails in the coffin.
Jiao Ba looked at the two of us and said, "Come over to me. Let's push the lid of the coffin over. Once the coffin is opened, remember not to breathe. Hold your breath."
Chang Shan and I walked around to Jiao Ba, "Come, get ready to push." Jiao Ba roared, and the three of us started to exert force at the same time. The coffin lid was not heavy at all, compared with the coffin lids of the two female corpses before.
, there is simply too much difference.
We didn't expend much effort to push the coffin lid open. When the coffin lid fell to the ground, the three of us quickly covered our mouths with our hands. Before my eyes, I could see a black air coming out of the coffin, but it soon disappeared.
disappeared.
We held our breath for about a minute. I gestured to Jiao Ba and asked him how long he had to hold it in. Jiao Ba wanted to wait a little longer, but he had no choice but to continue holding his breath.
When it was almost two minutes, Chang Shan was the first to be unable to bear it any longer. He gasped and gasped, "No...I can't do it anymore. I really...can't hold it in anymore."
Jiao Ba then exhaled, "It's okay, Yige, it's okay."
After I relaxed, I looked at him and said, "Damn, damn, you almost choked me to death. I think I'll be fine by now."
Jiao Ba didn't say anything, so he quickly picked up the flashlight and looked at the corpse inside. The flashlight slowly walked all the way from the head to the feet. There was a male corpse inside, and the corpse was not rotten.
Of course, it is impossible to compare with the previous female corpses of the Ming Dynasty. The two demon insect corpses can maintain their youth forever, but the muscles of this male corpse have atrophied, leaving only a wrinkled skin, which looks like
Almost mummified.
His face was a little deformed, his teeth were all protruding, his eyelids were pushed together, his limbs were naturally bent, and his legs were like a toad, which looked very awkward.
The male corpse was wearing a hat on his head, and the clothes he was wearing were similar to a coat. They were slightly rotten, but not serious. From the appearance of the clothes, it was obvious that this was the dress of the Han people, and it was still the dress of the ancients.
.
During the period of imperial rule, the clothing of other ethnic groups was very different from that of the Han people. However, I can't tell which dynasty this body belongs to. After all, I am not an expert. Unless it is the clothing of the Qing Dynasty, I can tell it at a glance.
See it.
There was nothing around the corpse except a rusty broken knife, not even a quilt covering the body. It was so simple. No wonder Jiao Ba said that this coffin was very ordinary. It was indeed too ordinary.
It's so ordinary, there aren't even any burial objects.
"It's a male corpse. How come this corpse is so well preserved and not rotten?" Chang Shan gently pressed the corpse's arm with the back of his knife.
"Yes, it is quite well preserved. Brother Changshan, can you tell which dynasty he is from?" I glanced at him and asked.
"It should be from the Ming Dynasty? It looks very similar to me." Chang Shan didn't dare to draw a conclusion and said something he was confused about.
"Not sure?" I asked again.
Chang Shan did not answer me, but asked Jiao Ba, "Jiao Ba, where do you think this body belongs to?"
Jiao Ba suddenly took a deep breath, turned to look at us and said, "You are right, this male corpse is from the Ming Dynasty. This is absolutely unmistakable."
"Are you so sure? I was just guessing just now." Chang Shan put on a very lucky expression.
"Of course." Jiao Ba then shined his flashlight on the corpse's head and used a knife to gently lift off the hat on the corpse's head.
"Hey, old man, what are you doing? We are not here to rob tombs. Don't mess around." This guy is indeed a tomb robber. How come he behaves like this everywhere and doesn't return empty-handed?
"It's a shabby grave of a commoner. What can I steal? You all have seen that there is nothing in this coffin except a useless knife. What do you want me to steal?" Jiao Ba was a little bit confused.
I was not happy anymore, and I was very forceful in my words.
"Then why are you taking off someone's hat?" I pointed.
"It's because of this hat that I dare to conclude that he is from the Ming Dynasty. You see, this hat is called a scarf, and it was a commonly used thing during the Ming Dynasty. From this, we can see that he is 100% from the Ming Dynasty."
Jiao Ba was very proud and seemed to have an evil smile on his face.
"Can you tell who he was in life? Was he an official or a commoner?" This is also very important.
"I can't tell. Anyone can wear a scarf, regardless of high or low, so I can't tell at all. Now I can only confirm that this male corpse is from the Ming Dynasty." Jiao Ba said calmly.
"If this is really the case, then this is the next stop we are looking for." Chang Shan said a little surprised.
"Yes, that's definitely the case. I have suspected this island for a long time, and it seems to be true. It is definitely not a coincidence that we can land on this island. It has been arranged in advance." After I finished speaking,
I saw Jiao Ba using a knife to cut open the clothes of the corpse.
I said in disgust, "What the hell are you doing? Why didn't I know you were okay with this?"
Jiao Ba said without raising his head, "I'm doing business. Let's see how he died. What do you think I can do? Can't I rape a corpse? I really admire you."
I was speechless by what he said, and I felt that my thoughts just now were indeed quite dirty.
"What did you see?" Chang Shan asked.
"Look, there are many scars on this man's chest. The most serious one is the knife, which went straight into the heart. From this, we can infer that he was killed. This is because the body was not completely decomposed, otherwise it would not be visible at all.
Come out." Jiao Ba retracted the sharp knife and said with a stern expression.
"Could it be that...there was really a war here before?" I feel like the answer is about to come out.
"It should be. Although a corpse can't prove anything, I feel very accurate. As for why this corpse will not rot, I think it has a lot to do with the geographical environment here. This small island seems to have some kind of magic power.
"Jiao Ba casually put the clothes back on the body.
"I don't know the magic power, but I feel that the strangeness of this island is real." Chang Shan spoke and pointed upward with his index finger.
Jiao Ba and I looked up along his hand, but when I saw it, I was immediately stunned. I stared at the sky with my eyes wide open. Looking up from the grave, it was originally dark clouds.
The sky over the densely populated islands has now turned red, not the red of burning clouds, but as red as blood...
