Chapter 101 Clothes Tomb
After we reacted, we couldn't help chasing them out.
Zhang Qi walked quickly, and in a blink of an eye he had caught up to the entrance of the village. The three of us saw that he was about to disappear from sight, so we had to quicken our pace.
While running, the fat brother said out of breath, "Who the hell is it that even my little brother can't catch up?"
Wu Xie replied: "You'll know if you catch it, hurry up fat man." Then he glanced at me again.
My pace was not slow, following Wu Xie closely, we turned over the hillside at the entrance of the village, and found a large area of thatch taller than a person in front of us, Zhang Qi had disappeared without a trace at this moment up.
"Brother." Wu Xie shouted at the top of his voice.
An echo came from the empty valley opposite, but Zhang Qi didn't know where he went?Just as we decided to go into the grass to find someone, there was a loud whistle in the air.
"It's brother, over there." Wu Xie pointed to the left direction, and then quickly burrowed into the grass, and we followed behind.After drilling inside for a long time, I finally found the mark left by Zhang Qi, and then I got out from another place.
When I came out to look, I was a little flustered. I looked around, and everywhere I saw were grave mounds of different sizes and erected stone tablets.
Zhang Qi was squatting in front of one of the steles, looking at something.
"Brother." Wu Xie hurriedly led us forward to join him.
"This... is it the cemetery in the village?" Fat Brother said.
Neither of us answered, I looked at Zhang Qi and asked, "Did you find anything?"
He nodded slightly, pointed to the words on the stone tablet and said, "This is indeed the cemetery of Lingyin Village, but the strange thing is that the dates on the inscriptions are all on the same day." Zhang Qi looked at us.
"That is to say, so many people died on the same day?" Suddenly, I felt a chill rushing from the soles of my feet to my heart.
"You can say that." Zhang Qi replied.
"Brother, what did you see just now to chase it out?" Wu Xie asked.
"A figure, after chasing here, it disappears."
"Anyone who can escape under my little brother's nose is probably not a person, or a god." Fat brother patted the stone tablet and made a conclusion.
I looked around and always felt that this place was surprisingly familiar, as if I had been here before.The cold stone tablet was waist-high, and I slid down those dirt bumps. . . . . .
"Oh my god, isn't that the strange dream I had?" My expression changed immediately, and I started looking around for the place where the old man was digging up human bones, but I couldn't find it after searching around.
The three of them saw that my expression was different, so they grabbed me and asked why, and I told the strange dream last night in detail.
After hearing what I said, Zhang Qi's face was a little ugly, he couldn't help but take my hand, and checked my pulse. After waiting for a long time, the brows relaxed a little.
"How? Do I have any questions?" I asked him worriedly.
Zhang Qi looked up at me, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid." He refused to say anything else.
I wondered, no matter how amazing this dream was, it was just a dream. As for what happened?I can't figure it out myself, so I can only put it aside temporarily.
Seeing that I was silent, Zhang Qi glanced at Wu Xie again. Wu Xie comforted me at the right time and said, "Zi Lin, don't worry. Dreams are unrestrained and born according to your heart. Right now, let's think about the people in this village. Die at the same time!"
I looked at Wu Xie, and I was very grateful to him. He always relieved me from my confusion.I smiled at him, and said, "Okay, I'll stop thinking about it, it's more important to investigate the village."
"Hey, that's right, sister. I think to find out the cause of their death, you have to dig it out and open the coffin for autopsy. Don't you know the truth?" The fat man took out a small shovel from nowhere, took Waved in the hand.
"Fatty, do you think you are a forensic doctor?" Wu Xie said with a smile.
"Comrade Tianzhen, I'm not a forensic doctor, I'm a leak-finding officer." Seeing that we didn't object, the fat brother has already selected a place and started digging, and he didn't forget to talk to us while digging.
"Fat brother, I think you look like a shit shoveler." I squatted on the edge of the mound he dug up, not forgetting to joke with him.
"Damn girl, if you keep talking, I'll shovel you all over." After speaking, the shovel was thrown at me, and I quickly avoided it.
After a while, the things buried in the soil were exposed, but it was not as we thought that the coffin was not dug up, but there was only a cypress box, and there were only a few sets of rotten clothes in it.
"Fat brother turned over those clothes with his head, and cursed, grandma's, there is no grease at all, no wonder the dead body can't be found."
"Cloth mound?" I lay down on the mound and murmured.
"Dig again." Zhang Qi's face suddenly sank, and then he began to dig the second and third.Without exception, these tombs are empty.
"Where are their corpses?" I couldn't help asking in my heart, and then I thought that the old man in the dream was digging up the bones and eating them. Could it be that he had eaten all the corpses?But the dream should not be taken seriously, besides there are so many corpses, if I eat a little every day, I am afraid it will take a month!Thinking of my heart is also more stable.
After inspecting the clothes, Zhang Qi jumped out of the pit, sealed the soil again, and then patted the ashes on his hands.
"Usually at the same time, a large number of people die, either a natural disaster or a plague." I looked at them, and then said: "Both of these situations may prevent the corpses from being properly buried."
They naturally understood what I meant and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"Brother, aren't you looking for that figure?" Seeing that the matter in front of him was over, Wu Xie asked again, remembering the figure just now.
Zhang Qi shook his head, and then told us to go and have a look.
We walked through this cemetery, followed the path up the mountain, and climbed all the way to the middle of the mountain. Only then did we smell the sound of water, and we couldn't help but walked deeper.The sound of the water became louder the closer we got, and when we found the source of the sound, we couldn't help being secretly surprised.
I saw a majestic and magnificent waterfall in front of me, and the water poured down from the mountainside, making a rumbling sound.
"It's amazing." I couldn't help but sigh.
"It's located at the confluence of the Danjiang River system and the Hanjiang River system. The water resources are very rich, but I didn't expect such a spectacular scene in the depths of this jungle. It's really a worthwhile trip." Wu Xie looked at us. explain.
"Come on, you brothers and sisters are the only ones who are affectionate, interesting, and knowledgeable. Fat Master, I just focus on making a fortune." Fat Brother has always despised me and Wu Xie for being romantic, so he couldn't help but give us both a blank look.Not interested in the beautiful scenery in front of him at all, instead he said to Zhang Qi: "Brother, according to Feng Shui theory, this shouldn't be a door guard?"
"The two peaks face each other, there is water in the middle, there is water between the peaks, and there are peaks in the water, which should be a sign of great nobility." Zhang raised his eyes and said lightly after looking into the distance.
"That's right, let's just say that Fat Master won't miss you." Fat Brother slapped his thigh, feeling a little proud.
"However... logically, the waterway should go from the side, in a wraparound shape, how can it be from top to bottom, is there something wrong?" the little brother muttered to himself.
"Oh, it's too late. The fat man finally found the treasure cave. No matter how he formed it, it is true that he finds the entrance first."
Wu Xie smiled and said, "Fatty, since you can see that this is a gate, then guess where the entrance is."
"Hey, naive, don't underestimate the fat man. Didn't you hear what the little brother said just now, is it wrong from top to bottom? The treasure cave is naturally under this waterway."
"Fatty, you are really smart, but don't forget, the exact length of this waterway is unknown? If you want to pinpoint the acupuncture points accurately, you have to work harder." Wu Xie said jokingly.
"Comrade Tianzhen, what you said makes sense, but don't forget, there is a little brother here! I have nothing to worry about. When we go back to get some equipment, we will definitely turn this river upside down."
Wu Xie was a little hesitant after hearing this, because he came here on a mission to pick up the goods, not go to the soil to hunt for treasures, and I heard that he had promised his dead second uncle that he would never go to the field again in this life.
"I..." Wu Xie thought for a long time, but stopped talking.
Only then did the fat brother seem to realize his embarrassment, so he sighed and said, "I understand your concerns, but now you can't go against what the second master said. That old man doesn't know where he went , the goods in the agreement are only so small, what do you take to deliver the goods?
This incident involved several lives. This business is also related to the life and death of your company. This company is your second uncle's lifelong painstaking effort. I won't feel at ease either!Besides, when the time comes, you can go outside with Zi Lin as a back-up guarantee, and my little brother and I go in to get things, how about it? "
What the fat man said was both sincere and reasonable, and it was only then that I realized that this fat man also has moments of roughness and finesse, and when he is well-organized!
Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi also looked at him, and the two stared at each other silently, then Wu Xie made up his mind and said, "Well, I need to go out to get some equipment, which one of you will be with me? "
After Wu Xie glanced around, he set his sights on Fat Brother. Fat Brother smiled helplessly and said, "I'm the only one who is involved in this matter of trekking over mountains and goods! I'm the one in your heart." Donkey?"
Wu Xie let out a "puchi", laughed, and then replied, "My little brother wants to help you find the entrance of the treasure cave. Zilin is a girl and doesn't have the strength to carry things. Only you are the most suitable candidate."
But at this moment Zhang Qi suddenly turned his gaze towards me and said, "Take her away too!"
