In the gloomy and dark cave, countless people stared at the white skeleton in horror. Bi Fang squatted in front of the skeleton and carefully looked at the clothes on his body.
From top to bottom, from left to right, from style to color, combined with the characteristics of each era and unique climate clothing, Bifang held his chin, and finally he was thoughtful.
The human brain does have its limits.
The clothes were black and lumpy, and he couldn't make out anything.
The underground cave was too humid, and the clothes of the white bones were covered with a thick layer of calcification, almost turning into a stone. Even the skull, looking back, could be seen to be connected to the ground.
"Normally speaking, a human corpse will turn into bones within one to two months, and bone brittleness will begin after more than ten years."
Bi Fang picked up the broken bones and broke them with his hands.
Click.
The already small bone fragments were broken into pieces about the size of a fingernail, and when pressed with a finger, they were broken even more finely, like biscuit crumbs.
"But it would take at least a hundred years for it to be this fragile!"
Hundreds of years!
so long?
The time span was so large that many viewers felt that they had heard it wrong.
[Damn! Is this an ancient person? 】
【Did anyone enter this cave hundreds of years ago?】
【How did you die? Did you starve to death in here?】
【This is a large archaeological site!】
Bi Fang stood up again, took out a handful of flower sticks from his bag, lit them, and continued walking deeper into the river beach, which was probably less than a hundred meters away.
An even more surprising scene appeared.
Another skeleton!
More than one person died here?
Bi Fang shined the torch downwards. This skeleton was basically similar to the previous one, but the limbs had long been separated from the trunk. The hand bones fell three meters away, and the leg bones disappeared!
"It must have been eaten." Bi Fang looked serious.
After these people died, they were probably climbed ashore and eaten by Tiktalik. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the bones were scattered in so many pieces.
Of course, there may be a darker ending, but this is not Jedi, and there are so many fish in the river that there is no chance of that happening.
As soon as the second skeleton appeared, the water friends in the live broadcast room felt even more eerie and terrifying.
Dark and gloomy.
Why did these people die here? What made them enter this cave? Is there any information left behind?
"Can you... stop being so tight? I can't... breathe." On the sofa, Bao Xuan's neck was tightly strangled by Ning Zhiyun, making her roll her eyes.
Even the king of mixed martial arts does not have her standard of strangulation moves!
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ning Zhiyun let go of her hand in surprise and apologized repeatedly, "I didn't mean to do it, it was really scary!"
Bao Xuan felt the same way. She was also startled by the sudden appearance of the skeleton just now. She nodded and said: "This guy is too powerful. He dares to go to such a place without saying a word. I was curious about his money last time."
It’s here. I didn’t expect it to be live broadcast!”
"I don't know if he can escape this time." Ning Zhiyun was worried. She still had a good impression of Bifang.
The big bag of cat food that Bi Fang sent last time has not been finished yet. It is all very expensive brands. The three cats have become so naughty that they no longer look down on what they ate before.
In the end, he did such a dangerous thing, risking his life to make money.
If the police hadn't told them, Ning Zhiyun felt that she would still be kept in the dark.
I really didn't expect that these two sly-eyed guys were actually not bad people. Fortunately, they didn't come back to settle the score with them, otherwise Bao Xuan would have had to apologize.
In the dormitory, Wu Gang and Gu Qingyuan were also very confused at the moment.
"Teacher, why are there so many corpses here?"
Gu Qingyuan shook his head. This touched upon his blind spot of knowledge. How could he, a biology researcher, know about such a thing?
He waved his hand, picked up the phone beside him, and searched for the contacts on the phone: "Wait a minute, I'll call and ask Lao Song."
"Is it Professor Song who teaches history?" Wu Gang was surprised.
While waiting for the call to be dialed, Gu Qingyuan nodded to Wu Gang: "Yes, he should know more after seeing this video."
Looking at Gu Qingyuan who was on the phone, Wu Gang smacked his lips repeatedly: "Weird, Professor Song has even been called."
Professor Song from the History Department and Professor Gu from the Biology Department, they are the Wolong and Phoenix of their schools... ahem, two pearls.
The superior leaders came to inspect, and when they saw the two of them, they respectfully called them Mr. Gu and Mr. Song. I didn’t expect that they would be alerted by a live broadcast room at the same time today!
Soon, an audience member named Song Tingning entered the live broadcast room. Unfortunately, there were too many people in the live broadcast room and no one paid attention.
After a while, Song Yanning on the other end of the phone shook his head. There was nothing he could do: "There are too few clues. There are no clothes or words. I can't tell who this person is."
The clothes in the cave were all lumped into a lump of rock. It was impossible to distinguish the style and characteristics, and there was no written record.
Just when Gu Qingyuan was extremely disappointed, Song Yanning suddenly changed the subject: "However, I think this is very likely to be a caravan from the Song Dynasty."
"Oh? What's the meaning of this?" Gu Qingyuan asked curiously after all the twists and turns.
"The Qaidam Basin is a lowland surrounded by mountains and is located in the middle of the Western Region. This location is very clever."
Song Yanning paused, began to sort out his thoughts in his mind, and then relied on his many years of historical experience to give a more reliable guess.
"Before the two Song dynasties, Qaidam was just an ordinary territory under the rule of the Central Plains dynasty, or a stage for the Qiang and other ethnic minority groups to change their regimes in turn. However, there were only vast stretches of desert and salt marshes, and it was not a good pasture.
, so it has been sparsely populated since ancient times.”
"But all this was broken in the struggle between the Northern Song Dynasty and Xixia. During the confrontation between Song and Xia, Xixia occupied almost the entire Hexi Corridor. The Northern Song Dynasty launched five wars in an attempt to regain its old land in Hexi, but failed."
"The Hexi area has been a hub connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions since ancient times. The Northern Song Dynasty failed to conquer it through many conquests. If you want to cross the border to contact the countries in the Western Regions, Xixia will not allow it."
"This became a thorn in the side of the Song Empire, and forced the Song people to find other roads to the Western Regions."
"Speak in human language, not like mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Just tell me the conclusion. I don't understand and I don't care. Do you think I'm your student?" Gu Qingyuan was impatient. What about the Song Dynasty, Xixia, and the five wars?
big.
Song Yanning: "..."
Pressing the tic-tac-toe button on his forehead, he spoke quickly.
"This place has been sparsely populated since ancient times, and no one can live at all. Except for fighting, the people who can go here are basically caravans. These people are obviously wearing ordinary clothes and have no armor and swords. They cannot be armies. Only in the Song Dynasty, caravans were
It will pass through here, this is the Silk Road."
"Then why not the Ming Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty?" Gu Qingyuan was very confused.
"The territory of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties was much larger than that of the Song Dynasty. When they went to the Western Regions, they took the Hexi Corridor, so in terms of probability and time, the Song people have the highest probability!"
Gu Qingyuan nodded. If he had said this earlier, he would have understood. He babbled for a long time, but there was no useful information at all.
"Okay, I'm hanging up."
"Hey, wait, don't hang up yet!" Song Yanning became anxious after hearing this.
I helped out with the co-authorship, but you didn’t mean it at all?
