Chapter 830: Skull

That's right, what appeared in front of Zhuang Rui was a row of wooden houses, about twenty of them, but when Zhuang Rui looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but feel cold. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even if the distance is very far, Zhuang Rui can see that these wooden houses are already dilapidated, and the terrain where he stands is relatively high, and he can clearly see that the roofs of many wooden houses are gone, and the possibility of people is not very large.
"Yes...... Anyone?"
Zhuang Rui held the javelin tightly in his hand, walked to a place twenty or thirty meters away from the wooden house, and shouted tentatively, his voice trembling slightly.
Although it has entered the 21st century, it is not guaranteed that the natives on this isolated island still retain the habit of eating people.
In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful, Zhuang Rui plans to turn around and run away as long as he sees those people with ghostly talismans painted on their faces, and those who show their bare buttocks.
It's just that Zhuang Rui doesn't want to think about it, his current situation is no different from the natives who were staged in those movies, except for the shoes that the jeans have changed from, there is only a pair of briefs left on his body.
And the briefs also have two holes rotten, so I guess they won't last long.
At this time, Zhuang Rui's heart was both expectant and afraid, he hadn't seen anyone for more than a week, even if he was an indigenous, he was always a person who could speak out, right?
However, after Zhuang Rui finished shouting, there was no situation he imagined, Zhuang Rui's shouting, except for the dust on the wooden house that shook and fell, there was no echo.
What's even more exaggerated is that a wooden house simply collapsed under Zhuang Rui's shout, raising dust in the sky.
"Nobody ......"
Zhuang Rui can already confirm that this is an abandoned village, although it is a little disappointing, but it also shows that this isolated island was once inhabited by humans.
The humans who can build wooden houses must also have come into contact with modern civilization, and since they are not there, there are only two possibilities, one is to move to another part of the island, and the other is to have left this isolated island.
No matter which possibility it is, it is good news for Zhuang Rui, others can leave, and of course they can leave.
Boat...... Zhuang Rui can't build it, but as long as he can find tools here to cut down a tree and build a canoe, Zhuang Rui is still a little sure.
Approaching a wooden house, Zhuang Rui stretched out his hand and pulled on the door, he didn't use much force, but the whole door was pulled down by him, and the door handle that Zhuang Rui pulled directly turned into slag and slipped to the ground from his fingers.
This situation made Zhuang Rui's brows furrow, the wooden house actually decayed into this state, and the years should be at least two or three hundred years old, could it be ...... Hundreds of years ago, the people here were gone?
Due to the severe decay of the wood, Zhuang Rui did not dare to enter the house, but walked around the village.
"It shouldn't be an indigenous......
Zhuang Rui found that these wooden houses are all made of log and willow nails, and their architectural style is very mature, a bit like the style of Finland and North America, although simple, but extremely practical, and more than 20 meters outside the village, there are traces of a fence.
"Could it be that this is a pirate's lair?"
Zhuang Rui suddenly had such a thought in his heart, but he then dispelled it.
Because according to Zhuang Rui's understanding of pirates through movies and books, these robbers across the ocean pay great attention to the lair, and they have always been built to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to build the lair at the foot of the gentle slope.
Even in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the pirates would build their nests like castles, not so simple that they would have nowhere to run if they encountered an enemy.
"Let's find out if there's anything you can use......
Although Zhuang Rui has a net worth of hundreds of millions outside, in this place, he is a real poor and white proletariat, and he fucking uses leaves to go to the toilet.
As long as it is something that humans can use, in the eyes of Zhuang Rui now, it is a treasure.
It's just that these wooden houses are dilapidated and can be listed as ancient protected buildings, Zhuang Rui doesn't dare to go in, although the wooden beams on them have also become rotten, but they will still kill people if they are smashed on the head.
After thinking for a while, Zhuang Rui walked towards the collapsed wooden houses, the roofs of these wooden houses should have been made of sun-dried coconut leaves, but due to their age, they had already turned into ashes.
Zhuang Rui took the javelin in his hand and fiddled with it in the large pile of wood, and after lifting the two beams that broke as soon as they were broken, only a thick layer of rotten wood residue remained on the ground.
"It's ......"
Zhuang Rui suddenly jumped up an object with a javelin, this thing was oval-shaped, with a convex piece on it, and it was upturned back and forth, but it didn't look like it was cloth, otherwise it would not have been preserved until now.
"Hats?"
Zhuang Rui suddenly had a term in his mind, isn't this the hat in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in the movie? It is exactly the same as the pirate with black circles on his head.
I picked up the object with a javelin and brought it to my eyes, and sure enough...... It is the top fur, which is covered with a thick layer of dust, and if you use the words of an antique shop, it is an old object with thick pulp and age.
Zhuang Rui shook his hat, he couldn't tell what kind of leather it was made of, it was very tough, and after hundreds of years of wind and rain, it was not deformed much.
"This thing buddy took ......"
Zhuang Rui took his hat and looked at his body, he didn't put it on the ground, so he simply put it on his head, anyway, every morning after getting up, this chicken nest can be salty and alkaline, and Zhuang Rui is not afraid of soiling his hair.
"Hey, what is this?"
After putting the hat on his head, Zhuang Rui took the javelin and fiddled in the wood again, and suddenly a gray-white object appeared in front of him, Zhuang Rui hurriedly squatted, picked up the sawdust with his hands, and picked up the object.
"Damn, damn it, don't bring such a scary ......"
After Zhuang Rui picked up the thing, he found that this was actually a person's skull, and when he picked it up, the two black hole holes in the eye sockets happened to be opposite Zhuang Rui, and Zhuang Rui was so frightened that he threw it out.
"Smack......
After the skull rolled on the ground a few times, a crawler more than two inches long crawled out of its eye socket, and Zhuang Rui, who seemed to have disturbed his sleep, was very dissatisfied.
"Those who don't know are not guilty, you have a lot of adults, don't blame, don't blame ......"
Zhuang Rui shook the skulls on the ground, and said a few words in his mouth.
When he looked at those black hole eyes just now, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but think of the cursed pirates in the Pirates of the Caribbean, and he couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
"He didn't wear this hat, did he?"
Zhuang Rui touched the hat on his head, he wanted to throw it away, but thinking that he was poor and white now, it was not easy to accumulate some net worth, so he still left it on his head.
After all, Zhuang Rui is also a person in the circle of antique shops, which of those precious antiques has not been played by countless dead people?
Coupled with his current status as a graduate student in archaeology, after the initial panic, Zhuang Rui had become calm, took a few steps forward and picked up the skull, and held it in his hand.
To be precise, this should be only half a skull, because the mandible and pharyngeal skull are gone, and only three dark holes in the eyes and nose remain.
In archaeology, the history of human evolution is also an extremely important course, and archaeologists must master the bones of the tomb to determine the approximate age, gender and cause of death of the deceased.
Zhuang Rui naturally didn't have this ability, but he also saw something, the owner of this skull should not be a local native, but a Westerner.
According to what Zhuang Rui learned from books, the bridge of the nose of the aborigines is generally collapsed, and the supraorbital edge is raised, but the nasal bridge of this skull is tall and straight, and the supraorbital edge is flat, which is more in line with the physiological characteristics of Westerners.
Archaeology, like adjudication, is a process of reasoning, archaeologists have to judge what happened hundreds or even thousands of years ago based on the real thing, holding this skull, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
Looking at the color of this skull, it is already white and yellow, it must have been a long time ago, why did these Westerners come to this island hundreds of years ago, and how did they leave?
Relatively speaking, Zhuang Rui is more concerned about the latter issue, after Zhuang Rui's observation this week, the four sides of the island are surrounded by many reefs.
Not to mention a huge ship, it is an ordinary yacht, which will hit the reef and sink if you are not careful, Zhuang Rui doesn't know, why did those people come here? and how did they avoid the reef?
After standing there stupidly and meditating for a long time, Zhuang Rui shook his head, it was impossible to deduce anything from a dead man's skull alone, and there were no scars on this skull, and the cause of death could not be seen.
After putting the skull back on the ground very respectfully, Zhuang Rui rummaged through the wood debris again, but this time the action was much lighter, almost according to the archaeological excavation, and more physical evidence was needed to unravel the mystery of this person's death.
Zhuang Rui's efforts were not in vain, and after more than two hours of cleaning, a relatively complete corpse skeleton appeared in front of him.
Although due to the collapse of the wooden house, there was a certain amount of damage to the bones, Zhuang Rui still saw at a glance that this person was definitely an unnatural death and was murdered!
The reason is very simple, because at the ribs of the skeleton, there is a rusty piece of iron stuck.
After Zhuang Rui and Huang Fuyun got to know each other, they also studied more on the weapons of the cold weapon period abroad, if Zhuang Rui was not mistaken, this should be a knight's sword in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
