Chapter 12: What a secret

"It's useless to stay here now and speculate on these issues. The little sister looked around and said, "There is a secret passage here! ”

She looked at Erhei with burning eyes and said, "Anyway, it's all here, why don't you go in and have a look." ”

Erhei nodded, and the two walked in along the secret passage.

The passage of this secret passage is not very large, just enough for two adults to walk side by side. The passage is surrounded by cold metal walls. After walking for a while, the two felt that the passage was getting narrower and narrower.

Later, Erhei could only bend forward, his neck stretched forward like a duck, his eyes slightly inclined to look up, and his posture was a little strange. Although the little sister is petite than Erhei, she is also an adult's body in the end, and she is not very comfortable in the end.

How could there be such a place in the Aquarius Village, and what kind of idea did the people who built this secret passage have?

Although the people in the Aquarius Village lived a life of robbing houses, in that era of war and chaos, they should not have much property to grab, and the people in the village had to open their mouths to eat. Therefore, judging from the workmanship and material of the wall, it is difficult to achieve it with the financial resources of the Aquarius Village back then.

Even if the financial resources can meet the requirements, the technical aspects cannot meet them. What's more, the secret passage in a bandit's den doesn't need to be made so painstakingly made into an "iron wall", unless there is something very important hidden in it.

Is it gold and silver treasures?

"Da, da, da...... Da, da, da......"

The inside of the secret passage was quiet, so quiet that there was only the sound of two people's footsteps rising and falling. Every time it sounds, it's like stepping on their hearts.

The two of them didn't know how far they had gone, and suddenly, Erhei's feet staggered, his body shook, and he narrowly planted two steps forward, almost falling and eating. Fortunately, the little sister was quick to help him.

The two looked down at their feet, and there seemed to be something lying there.

Originally, the light in the tunnel was very blurry, and I had to hold on to the wall to walk, where could I still see the things under my feet? At this time, he was inexplicably tripped, and Erhei's heart couldn't help but tighten.

"What's that?" Erhei blurted out.

Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound, and a beam of light suddenly lit up in the tunnel, and the little sister turned on the flashlight. The surroundings immediately lit up. It was still dark farther away, but it was enough for the two of them to see each other in the narrow passage.

It turned out that the one who tripped Erhei just now was actually a piece of Bai Sensen's bone!

The bone was a human hand bone, just now because the light was too dark to see clearly, at this time by the light, only to find that it was next to the second black, a human skeleton in the middle of the passage half-sitting. The clothes on the skeleton were so rotten that they couldn't see their shape, as if the man had been dead for a long time.

Both of them were shocked in their hearts. How could there be such a dead man sitting in this secret passage? Who is this dead man, and why did he die in this secret passage?

Erhei couldn't help but think of the haystack of Zhang Haozi's house......

"It looks like this man has been dead for a long time. Xiaomei said.

There was nothing else found on the skeleton except for rotting clothes, but when Erhei touched the hand bone that he had stepped on, he was surprised to find a very strange place: the right hand of the skeleton was wrapped in a black thing that I don't know what it was.

The light from the little sister's hand circled around the bones, and everywhere she went, there was nothing special except for the thing in her hand.

The little sister bent down slightly, reached out and gently lifted the hand bone, but as the arm was raised, the thing was still stuck to it, as if it had taken root.

Without waiting for Erhei to react, the little sister suddenly ripped the thing off the hand bone with a "bang".

Erhei opened his mouth wide and looked at her in a daze, unable to say a word.

The little sister patted the dust on it and glanced at Erhei.

Glued to the bones of the hand was a cloth of unknown color. The cloth was tightly wrapped in a ball, almost the size of a baby's fist. The reason why I don't know what color is not because of how strange, special, or complicated the color of the cloth is, on the contrary, the color of this cloth looks very monotonous, and there is basically no pattern. But because it is so old, it is difficult for people to distinguish its color and texture under the erosion of many years.

The little sister gently opened it, originally thinking that this corpse would be a precious treasure that was so solemnly kept and refused to let go until death, at least it should be called precious. But when they saw that the palm-sized piece of cloth was opened, there was nothing inside, only to realize that the truth was exactly the opposite of what they imagined.

Inside the cloth, there is nothing!

Erhei doesn't know what kind of mood he feels in his heart, maybe, there is loss, maybe, there is relief, maybe, and there are some feelings that even he can't explain.

The cloth was mutilated, as if it had been torn from somewhere.

The little sister looked at this strange piece of cloth, and suddenly, her brows furrowed, and she let out a soft "um".

"What's wrong?" asked Erhei.

The little sister handed the cloth to him and said, "Look. ”

It turned out that there was not nothing in the cloth, and there were words on the cloth. The handwriting was sloppy and messy, and it is conceivable that the person who wrote it must have been in a very flustered situation.

Erhei saw that there was only one inexplicable and obviously unfinished sentence on the cloth: "I know that I don't have much time, and I don't know if anyone will find out about these things I wrote, but I have to write it down, I hope it's still too late."

I discovered a shocking secret......"

The words came to an abrupt end here, and I don't know if they were not written at all or if the following words were deliberately torn out.

The handwriting on the cloth was not only scribbled or even punctuated, but it was evident that the person writing them must have been in a hurry or panic, and perhaps a little afraid, because the words looked crooked, and the man's hands must have trembled as he wrote them.

What was he afraid of? Why did he write these inexplicable words in this secret passage?

Erhei took the piece of paper and examined it carefully, looking at it, his brows furrowed more and more, and suddenly, he raised his head to look at his little sister. His hand loosened, and the cloth slipped from his hand onto the skeleton.

He looked at his little sister with a very complicated look.
