The number of pottery fragments also increased a lot. I kept wondering what this cave was used for. Did I guess wrong that this was not a place for sacrifice, but a place of execution? The color of the soil became darker, as if it had been soaked in blood.
It was formed over a long period of time. Perhaps this was a place to punish criminals. They might dig a big pit in the ground and raise some dangerous animals in it, and those who made mistakes would be used as food for the animals.
This is a very strange conjecture, but it is definitely possible, of course, it is only possible. It is not too difficult to prove this, just dig deeper, but we currently lack the tools to do it
This is very difficult.
Just as we were hesitating whether to proceed, a scream suddenly sounded not far ahead, less than a hundred meters ahead of us, and it was obviously a human voice.
The three of us looked at each other for a while, and then we all ran over there. We quickly arrived a few dozen meters away, and immediately saw a man lying on the ground, wearing coarse clothes. Judging from the size, it was not us.
Any one of the eight people. I let out a sigh of relief, but felt very strange. The figure of this person looked like the same person, but it gave me an unbelievable feeling.
Not him, definitely not him. I thought to myself, took a deep breath, walked over slowly and turned him over. When we saw his face, the three of us were stunned, and the two women exclaimed in surprise:
"Impossible, isn't he dead?"
Yes, I thought it was impossible, because the person lying on the ground turned out to be Ning Yuan. My mind was suddenly filled with questions. How could this be possible? I clearly found his body in the big tank in the woods. Afterwards,
All of us have also seen it, and we worked together to put his body into the big tank again. Why is it here now? And it looks like he has just died.
There was a fatal wound on his chest. It looked like it should have been caused by a weapon such as a dagger. It was fatal with one blow and there was no trace of resistance at all. From this we can see some problems. The murderer knew him.
He was killed without the slightest precaution, and the murderer must have been prepared, without any hesitation or room for action.
I feel that things are getting more and more complicated. People who were originally dead suddenly come to life again and appear here. Which one is the real Ning Yuan or the Ning Yuan in the vat? The other one is dead.
Who is it? Who is the murderer? What is the relationship between these people and what secrets are hidden?
I squatted next to the corpse and checked. This Ning Yuan had no makeup, which meant that the Ning Yuan we found in the vat was fake. This led me to speculate that Ning Yuan and the murderer were originally the same person.
Man, they killed a man and turned him into Ning Yuan. It should be to hide the real Ning Yuan and to confuse us. What is the purpose of hiding him? Is it just to avoid everyone's eyes and ears?
to here?
But why did he have a disagreement with the murderer that led him to kill him? Was it a conflict of interest? Or was it to silence him?
The unexpected things we saw in this short period of time also overturned many of our original conjectures, making things more complicated and confusing, and making the original truth seem even more unclear.
The three of us were relatively speechless and didn't know what to say. Three people were already dead. Ning Yuan, Liu Xiaoyang and the person with an unknown identity in the vat before. Now that person's identity suddenly became a mystery. This made
What was originally unexpected became even more unexpected.
"What should I do?" Guo Yingying asked, referring to the disposal of Ning Yuan's body. We can't bring a dead body with us. After all, we are classmates. Although we don't have much contact, we can't leave it alone. "Bury it!" I said.
They nodded in agreement, and we didn't miss the time. I used my dagger to dig a hole next to it, but just as I started, I suddenly heard the sound of someone talking not far away.
"Here? Are you sure it's here?"
"Yes, the sound came from this direction..."
I waved my hand and hid with the two girls nearby. Soon, two figures ran over quickly. It was Yang Yun and Han Qiwei. When they saw Ning Yuan's body, they were stunned and looked at each other.
Somewhat inexplicable.
"Damn it. Why is this guy here? Isn't he already dead?" Han Qiwei shouted.
Yang Yun looked very calm and slowly squatted down and checked. "He was killed not long ago. I think we were all deceived. The one before was not Ning Yuan at all."
"You mean putting the blame on someone?"
"No, otherwise he wouldn't have appeared here."
"What do you mean? Oh, I understand. The one we saw before was a fake. Did the real one kill the fake one and then fled here for fear of being discovered?"
"It's possible, but I don't think so."
"Why?"
"You're stupid. Why did he flee here if he wanted to escape? Besides, if he didn't show up, we would all think it was true and there was no need for him to escape."
Han Qiwei scratched his head, as if he still didn't understand what he said, Yang Yun didn't explain to him, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, everyone is dead, there is no use talking about it, there are only two of us left here.
We don’t have the ability to take care of this matter, so let’s think about what we should do next.”
We couldn't hear anything from their words, so we walked out together. When they saw us, their eyes widened, and they obviously didn't expect that we would appear here.
"Oh my god, you guys, why are you here? Song Meiting, aren't you already dead? And Guo Yingying, why did you get together with the two of them?" Han Qiwei screamed in surprise, but his body was still strong.
He stepped back, probably thinking we were ghosts.
Among the three of us, Song Meiting was probably the most vicious. She raised her eyebrows and cursed: "Han Qiwei, what are you talking about? You just died. We are still living well. We can't speak human words."
Do not say."
"I, I'm just saying, nothing serious. Why are you so mean?" Han Qiwei said, obviously a little afraid of her.
"Damn it, I'm alive and well. You have to say that I'm dead, but why don't you allow me to be cruel? Let me tell you, I scold you lightly. If you dare to talk loudly again, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart."
"you……"
Yang Yun reacted quickly and hurriedly came up to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, don't say anything about Qiwei. It's a good thing they're fine. Aren't we worried that we can't find anyone else?"
Han Qiwei seemed to listen to Yang Yun's words, and immediately fell silent. We looked at each other, and we didn't even know what to say. They didn't ask about our experiences, and I didn't ask them about their encounters.
What kind of question? There seemed to be a tacit understanding among the few people, and no one raised such a question.
"Have you been here just now?" Yang Yun looked at me and asked.
"We were here. We heard the noise and came here, but the person was already dead and we didn't see the murderer." I answered.
He nodded, with a strange expression, as if he had something to say, but in the end he didn't say it. After some discussion, we buried Ning Yuan's body, and then walked deeper together. Along the way, I always felt like I was doing less.
What was it, but I couldn't figure it out, so in the end I had to leave it alone.
We didn't encounter any more unexpected situations. About twenty minutes later, we finally walked through the woods and came to the cliff on the other side. The first thing we saw was a huge cave. Yes, there was only one lonely cave, but it was very small.
It is large, with a height and width of more than ten meters. It is dark inside and looks very deep.
There are two stone statues placed at the entrance of the cave. They are also very weird half-human and half-animal stone statues. No one can tell what they are, but they all agree that they are some kind of humanized or deified animals.
Maybe it's the totem of this tribe or the god it worships.
As soon as we walked into the cave, we found many traces of human activities. There were some pottery fragments on the ground, and there were also some simple paintings painted on both sides of the cave wall. They were very old ones, but we couldn't understand them anyway because they were too small.
Abstract.
Since we came down from the cliff, we have not seen any metal utensils, which further proves our guess that this place has always been isolated from the world, at least during the period when the ancient Shu king came in, it was already a place where all kinds of metal tools were used.
There was an era when metal utensils were prevalent, but not here. They have always followed the oldest way of life.
The further we go in, the more spacious and dry it becomes. We can see some traces of life. Clay pot fragments can be seen everywhere. There are also many small stone caves dug out inside. There are stone beds and benches inside, which look like they should be used for worship.
A place where people live. There are also some things we have never seen before, such as animal horns and teeth stuck on the stone walls, which are used as decorations.
We went deeper and saw something different in a large cave. The furnishings in this cave were richer. Pottery pots were placed in the corners and piled in piles. Stone beds and
The stone benches appear to be larger, and there is a stone table next to it, with some things placed on it, some very small utensils, which should be used in daily life. We guess that this is where the leaders of the tribe live, because
It is special. As a leader, he is naturally more special than ordinary people.
What caused us to rest were several pictures painted on one wall. They were painted with very special pigments and kept bright colors. The background of one of the pictures was the woods. I saw what we had discovered before.
The stone platform was exactly as I imagined. It was square and square, with a huge hole in the middle. The difference was that there was a statue on both sides of the hole. They were very huge, and they were also half-human and half-animal.
