Xiangxi Shadow Chapter 13 Ghost Head Village

The corpse on the bed was relatively short, less than one meter six, his clothes and bedding were rotten to ashes, and only a few rotten beams on the bed supported the weight of the corpse.

The corpse rot fungus only grows on the wood on the bed, and it does not spread, maybe it is just because it is daytime, and there is light coming in, so these corpse rot mushrooms look a little wilted, but if you look closely, there is still a light on the folds of their heads, and there are signs of life, I estimate that by night, these corpse rot mushrooms will come back to life.

After looking at the bones, Qiu Yan looked around the cave again, and she commanded:

"Look around, remember, your hands must be light, and look for anything you see, such as coins, books, scrolls, anything that can prove the person's identity, or have words on it."

With that, the crowd dispersed.

Old man Peng and I walked to the side and pretended to look around, but in fact I was not interested in what Qiu Yan was looking for, and Old Man Peng was the same, he was just a leader, and he was not obliged to help Qiu Yan find something.

I pulled Old Man Peng and said softly as I walked:

"Uncle Peng, I saw the white-haired monster hiding in this hole the day before yesterday, let's look for it and see if we can find its nest."

Old man Peng was stunned, looked at me and asked:

"What do you say? Its nest? Ho boy, are you stupid? That's the mandrill, it's the gods, it's the owner of this mountain, where does it come from! ”

I didn't want to argue with Old Man Peng about any fairy animals, so I said:

"Even if you are a god, you always have a place to live."

Old man Peng shook his head and said with a smile:

"Where the gods live, only the gods can find Sa, are you a god? Or am I? ”

After hearing this, I stopped arguing with Old Man Peng, everyone's worldview is different, and the formation of worldview is not a matter of one or two days, and it is impossible for me to change because of one or two sentences.

Old man Peng didn't want to stay in the cave for a long time, and walked out towards the crack, I told him to stay away before taking off his mask, he nodded and left.

I was still looking for the white-haired monster's nest when I heard the people behind me sighing and sighing, and it seemed that they were not going well.

"Did you find anything?" Qiu Yan asked me.

"Nope." I replied.

In fact, I really didn't find anything, not only the things Qiu Yan wanted, but I didn't even see a single white hair of the white-haired monster, didn't the white-haired monster lose his hair?

After searching around to no avail, we returned to the bedside, and Qiu Yan pointed to the bones and said:

"Now he's the only one who hasn't checked yet!"

After speaking, Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei cautiously approached the bed, each of them took a pair of rubber gloves and put them on, and then began to clean up the debris on the bones.

I first looked at the neck of the bones, but I didn't see any ornaments he was wearing, and then I saw that the place where Qiu Yan and the others had cleared out was also nothing, no ornaments, no scrolls, nothing but the bones of the dead.

"How is that possible? This man obviously died in his bed, could it be that he deliberately cleaned up his belongings before he died? Qiu Yan was puzzled in the face of the corpse.

"Maybe someone came in and took the relics?" Xiang Wei guessed.

"No way, Uncle Peng said that no one in the vicinity knows that there is a cave here." I explained.

Xiang Wei turned his head, looked at me, and asked unceremoniously:

"Hmph, Uncle Peng, do you believe him so much? Didn't you think maybe he took those relics? ”

I don't know why Xiang Wei suddenly had such a big temper, so he responded loudly:

"Then tell me, what reason does he have for making up this nonsense? What was the purpose of his taking away those relics? ”

"The purpose? And much more! Maybe it's an antique to sell for money, maybe it's a product to take home, or maybe it's to look at what you like, no matter how much you take away! ”

"But why did he lie to us? Qiu Yan had already told him what we were here for, and we promised him that we would give him a sum of money after the matter was completed, if he wanted more money, shouldn't he tell us directly? ”

"How do I know so much, there are so many people with ghosts in their hearts, do I have to find out what they think one by one?"

"You~~~"

"Enough of you two!" I wanted to continue arguing, but was interrupted by Qiu Yan, she pointed to the other three people, and said, "He Zimu, you take them outside to dig the coffin first, and Xiang Wei and I will take a look." ”

Just right! I thought to myself, and led the three men towards the crack.

I watched the three people climb out of the crack one by one, and then climbed down the ramp to the mouth of the crack, and before climbing out, I glanced back at Qiu Yan and them, but it was this glance that made me discover the nest of the white-haired monster.

It turned out that at the top of the cave, not far from the mouth of the crack, there were several exposed roots, these roots were very thick, and in the direction of the roots, I could see a very hidden hole, which was located on the side wall under the top of the cave, and was backlit, and if it were not for those roots that attracted my attention, I would not have noticed it at all.

"Long Quan, you wait. Qiu Yan, come and take a look! I shouted.

In a few moments, several people came to me, and I pointed to the hole and said:

"See that place? It's a cave, Qiu Yan, I guess it's the white-haired monster's nest. ”

Qiu Yan looked at me, then at the entrance of the cave, spread her hands and asked:

"What are you looking for in its nest?"

And Xiang Wei also had a questioning expression, but the object of his questioning was not me but Qiu Yan:

"What nest? What white-haired monsters? ”

I told Long Quan to go outside and bring in the climbing rope, and then said to Qiu Yan:

"Think about it, before we found this cave, it is possible that only the person on the bed and the white-haired monster knew about this cave, and now the person on the bed is dead, and his things are gone~~"

Qiu Yan immediately reacted and asked:

"You mean, the white-haired monster moved all those things into its nest?"

I nodded, just as Long Quan ran in, this man was quite nimble, and took all six sets of climbing ropes.

We dressed them one by one, and then I led the way and crawled along the roots of the tree towards the entrance of the cave.

The entrance to the cave was wide enough to accommodate three people, but the further we went, the narrower it became, and we had to crawl forward, and after climbing more than ten meters inside, I saw a space two or three meters square and high enough for an adult.

The bottom of the cave was covered with weeds, some tattered bedding that I didn't know where to pick up, and some copper and silver utensils were scattered around the hole.

The white-haired monster was obviously no longer in it, but this was clearly its nest.

After Qiu Yan came in, she only glanced at it and ordered us to move the contents out.

I hurriedly stepped forward to stop me and asked:

"What are you going to do?"

Qiu Yan frowned and replied:

"Move things out, can you let us inspect this hole?"

I shook my head and said:

"No, you're not moving, you're destroying the White-Haired Monster's nest! Qiu Yan, think about it, although this white-haired monster is not a threat to us for the time being, it does not mean that it is not a threat if it is angered! We have to check and analyze these things with us, and we have to dig out the coffin outside, believe me, it's best not to provoke it at this time! ”

Qiu Yan began to hesitate, but at this time, Xiang Wei stood up and said:

"Well, in your opinion, do we still have to say hello to your white-haired monster and let it give us a little time?"

I lowered my voice and explained:

"Qiu Yan, no matter what, we all have to spend some time here, in this way, let Xiang Wei take someone to dig the coffin outside, and the two of us will check this nest, once the white-haired monster comes back, let's go out, and when it leaves, let's come back and continue to check, how about it?"

Qiu Yan was a little embarrassed, but Xiang Wei didn't give her time to think about it, he pulled Qiu Yan over and persuaded:

"Xiaoyan, what we lack most now is time, listen to me, pack these things out, after the coffin is dug up, the valuable things are also packed, and when we get out of this bird mountain, I want to see if the white-haired monster can catch up with the car!"

Qiu Yan looked at Xiang Wei for a long time, then at me again, and finally, she nodded in agreement.

After Xiang Wei received the order, he smiled at me like a victorious general, then brushed my shoulder, and wrapped all the weeds and bedding with Long Quan.

The wind swept the grass, and in a few moments the big men cleaned up the whole cave, and we crawled out of the small hole, and then crawled out of the cracks, and after putting the contents out of the hole, we began to dig the coffin.

It was still a bit difficult to dig through the ground more than a meter deep, and we took a few breaks halfway through, during which Qiu Yan quietly moved to my side and said to me:

"He Zimu, I'm sorry, Xiang Wei is right, we have to be in a hurry, don't think here."

I smiled and replied:

"There's nothing wrong with it, you're the boss, you have the final say, but we have to hurry up and try to get out of here before dark, the white-haired monster is estimated to come back as soon as it gets dark, and then it's going to be really crazy, we don't know how to deal with it yet!"

Qiu Yan smiled bitterly and said:

"Okay, let's speed up the progress, but you don't have to worry too much, I believe that there are so many of us, the white-haired monster will not dare to approach easily."

I didn't know if I could, so I buried my head and continued digging.

Although I had prepared before, I was still shocked when I dug up the coffin, there were more than 20 coffins of all sizes buried in the ground, the area was as big as a house, most of the coffins were only dry bones, only the two large coffins buried in the middle were still rare coffins.

After hundreds of years, there is no smell in the coffin, some are just the smell of earth, we pry open the two large coffins, and find that there are some porcelain and jewelry as burial objects.

In one of the coffins, Qiu Yan turned out a mask, the mask was the appearance of a skeleton, and the color could still be vaguely seen on it, the mask was obviously made of some kind of wood, but I don't know how it was handled, this mask has not rotted at all after hundreds of years.

Qiu Yan took the mask in her hand and looked at herself for a moment, and suddenly, she snorted a few times in her mouth, as if she was whispering something.

"Qiu Yan, what did you say?" I asked.

Qiu Yan turned her face to look at me, and said with a look of surprise:

"Ghost ~~ Ghost Head Village!"
