33. The cave of the weeping corpse

Finally the slender woman quieted down, she let go of Shen Yao and let Shen Yao come back to me, she held out her hand to me, as if this was her way of showing kindness.

The moment I approached her, I saw her face clearly, the corners of her eyebrows made me feel familiar, she opened her arms to hug me like she did with Shen Yao, but it was not as intense as she had just treated Shen Yao, she just hugged me gently. The moment she hugged me, I was surprised to find that her abdomen was unusually bulging, and it should be said that it was a huge contrast to her now thin body, there was no doubt that she was pregnant, and at least seven or eight months old, because the tattered linen clothes covered her body I didn't even pay attention to at first.

I observed her at a very close distance, she did not avoid my eyes, I suddenly remembered, she was the flight attendant Fu Yuchen who helped me and Shen Yao get out of danger when the plane fell, it turned out that she was still alive, but why did she end up here, I was excited for a while, I grabbed her arm, my actions made her a little nervous, but her unexpected obedience did not resist.

"Are you Fu Yuchen?Do you remember us?How did you become like this?" When she heard me say this, her expression immediately became panicked, and she broke free of my hand and ran to the side, holding her head and muttering something to herself that I didn't understand.

Shen Yao walked up to me, obviously she was also surprised, "Uncle Yi, she must have experienced a big blow." ”

I nodded, and asked Shen Yao to continue to try to communicate with her, to see if I could ask something, Fu Yuchen must have gone through hellish torture to become the crazy she is now, she has lost her speech.

I continued to search for traces of human monkeys near the reef, but I still found nothing, I wanted to check if the raft by the sea was tightly tethered, and suddenly I heard Shen Yao let out a scream, "Uncle Yi be careful." I turned my head suddenly, a thin little man pounced on me, he was holding a stone in his hand and wanted to hit my head, he was about the same size as Shen Yao, but much more flexible, I grabbed his two hands and was knocked down by him, he kicked me in the stomach with his foot, screaming in his mouth, Fu Yuchen and Shen Yao on the side also ran over, Fu Yuchen wanted to pull him away from me, but Shen Yao picked up a stone and wanted to hit him.

As soon as I shook the black boy away from me, and his stone slipped and fell into the sea, I realized that his leg was disabled, apparently it had been cut off not long ago, and the wound had not yet fully healed, and if he was healthy, I might have been stoned to death just now. Fu Yuchen hugged him into his arms as if to comfort him, muttered, and then breastfed him in front of us.

But how can Fu Yuchen's thin body have milk? And although this black man looks like a child, his appearance and fierce eyes are completely like an adult, I turned my head and didn't look at this picture that subverted my cognition, a lot of questions were stirred up in my mind, Shen Yao also opened her mouth wide and blushed, her expression should be saying, how old is this black man, how can he still breastfeed.

In any case, all the doubts in my heart will be slowly solved later, and now I can only take them with me to find a chance to return to modern society.

Sure enough, this black child calmed down a lot under Fu Yuchen's comfort, and I thought that since the two of them floated to this isolated island on this simple raft, it proved that the place where they left was not far from here, which had to be said to be good news.

Shen Yao and I finally gave up looking for the human monkey, maybe he unfortunately fell on the reef, and the blood attracted the shark to be eaten. Of course, I didn't tell Shen Yao about this possibility, I was afraid that she would be sad, but I just said that we won't look for people and monkeys for the time being.

Shen Yao and I wanted to communicate with Fu Yuchen and ask her to leave the reef with us to a drier place, but she pulled us on a raft and paddled into a hidden narrow water hole, I was surprised how she would know where this hidden water hole was.

I lit the torch with flint, and the raft paddled more than ten meters along the water hole, and a wide and cheerful cave appeared in front of me, but the picture was very terrifying.

A pair of skeletons were hung on the cliff cave, some of them were old and only dry skin and bones remained, some fell to the ground and were corrupted by the sea water into a skeleton and a pile of white slag, some of the corpses may have been smeared with grease, although the corpses have been shriveled, but they can still vaguely identify the facial features and body shape, it seems that the corpses that are hung here are all women, because they are all long-haired without exception, and some of the dried corpses that have not completely decomposed recently are also slightly bulging in the lower abdomen, linked to the strangulation marks on Fu Yuchen's hands, she must have also been hung here and escaped, then the reason why they were hung here is probably that they are all pregnant。

What kind of cult ritual should this be, I saw that the closest sling to me was cut, presumably this is the one that locked Fu Yuchen, I think Fu Yuchen took us back here to let me help her cover up the traces of escape, but where can I find a pregnant female corpse similar to her? Think about it, judging from her aphasia, her spirit is no longer normal, and she won't have such a careful mind, so is there any other secret here?

I was thinking about it while checking to see if there were any other strange things in this cave, Shen Yao suddenly grabbed my arm and pointed to the innermost skeleton that fell to the ground, I walked over to take a look, this skeleton was lying on a box, the box was carved with two crossed Turkish sabers, I removed the bones and opened the box, inside was half a box of gold coins and pearls.

Seeing that I had found this, the black boy immediately yelled at me again, and from his voice and expression I knew that he was speaking some kind of language that I did not understand, and his attitude was obviously to warn me not to let me touch those things, I had no intention of these treasures, and that these gold coins were like stones when I was trapped on this isolated island.

I closed the treasure chest, I guessed that Fu Yuchen definitely didn't bring me back here because of this, but I really didn't understand what she meant, and I had to leave here when the torch was about to go out.

I am reminded of a legend about pirates, who roam the seas all year round, rob merchant ships or passenger ships, kill all the men, and then pick beautiful women to lock in pirate ships for the crew to play with. As soon as a woman becomes pregnant, they throw her into the sea, because a newborn child is not allowed on a pirate ship, which will lead to bad luck. Apparently the pirates didn't just throw these pregnant women into the sea, they seemed to have more taboos, they imprisoned these pregnant women in a cave, as if they were sacrificed to some god who protected them, and let these pregnant women die a natural death here, and some of the corpses were smeared with tung oil, which would not slow them down, but it would slow them down. Then they put some jewels in the treasure chest after each sacrifice to a woman, presumably as a prostitute for prostitutes, perhaps just to relieve their guilt or to pray for the protection of some evil god.
