Kofun
The moonlight shone miserably white on the mountainside, and nothing could be seen around, but all kinds of strange sounds could be heard from the depths of the dense forest in the ditch under the slope, and this pit made Agui and them stunned.
The mountain people are superstitious, and they always think that it is unlucky when they see the coffin, they look at each other, Agui has no idea, and says to himself: "When I see the coffin in the middle of the night, I have to wash my eyes when I go back." ”
The other man lay down and looked at it, and said, "Whose grave is this, and how can it be dug in such a deep mountain?" ”
No one answered him, Yun Cai was so frightened that he hid behind Mengli, who looked more reliable, quietly glanced at her, and said in his heart: "She is also a girl, isn't she afraid?" That's amazing! ”
A-Ning, who was standing beside her, saw her eyes, and instantly understood, and smiled helplessly, what a simple little girl.
Wu Xie looked at the coffin, and could be sure that this was a deserted tomb, not the tomb of a large family, and the age should be the Ming and Qing dynasties, because a coffin of such quality could be preserved until now in an area with such abundant rain, and the time could not be too early. Seeing that grass has grown in the mud in the coffin, then the coffin has been washed out by the rain and exposed to the wild for at least a few years, and the bones inside must have been destroyed.
The pit is not big, and with a flashlight, they can't find any trace of Daddy Panma. The person was definitely not there, but Wu Xie felt that this might be the place where the horses hid things, because it was indeed very suitable for hiding things. The piece of iron that the son of the horse said may be down there.
The dog was still barking, which made people irritated, so Agui pulled the dog away, let them wander around, and then picked up branches and rummaged inside.
The mountain people did not dare to go down into the pit, and ordinary people would be taboo about coffins, but the reaction of the dogs told them that there must be something in the cave. You won't find it if you look for it like this.
Wu Xie looked at the mountains here, even he, a person who only knows feng shui fur, can see that this place is definitely not suitable for burying people. This is the mountain pass, and all the water from the mountain will come to collect here, and it will be moldy within a few days of burial here. This tomb will not be the big tomb in Giethoorn Mountain as speculated by the fat man, it may only be an ordinary barren mountain tomb, and there should be no danger.
So Wu Xie asked Agui not to stir up, and he and the little brother went down to the pit to turn over. Mengli and A-Ning watched from above.
Wu Xie is familiar with the road when he steals the hole, let alone turning over a coffin, not to mention that the little brother is still around.
Ah Gui was very surprised, thinking that a city person like Wu Xie could be so bold, and Yun Cai looked at it with a blank eye, a little unable to react.
Yun Cai quietly glanced at Mengli again, and then looked at A-Ning: I feel so powerful!!
Wu Xie and the little brother went down to the pit one after the other, because the pit was on the slope, the pit wall was very shallow on one side, and the other side was very high, and the broken wall formed by the collapse of the hillside could be seen, and half of the coffin was embedded in the broken wall, and the size was not small, and the residual paint on it was a black old wooden coffin, and the silt that sank to the bottom of the tomb was half a foot - either the soil settled here, or the old coffin was sinking.
This simple burial method is not something that ordinary people can afford, and the coffin seems to be a good commodity on the road, which may be the comprador of the landlord here in the past. The tomb was in tatters, and it was covered with mud.
I don't know if it was infected by the fat man, seeing the coffin Wu Xie's heartbeat also began to accelerate, and he told himself that he had to behave as a layman at this time, otherwise it would be easy to be suspected by Ah Gui and them.
The little brother took the flashlight, pushed away the weeds, and after only looking around, they saw that there were some blood stains of handprints in the inconspicuous part of the coffin.
The little brother asked Wu Xie to help him follow it, and stretched out his hand to draw it, the handprint on the coffin should have been glued when he leaned over to balance his body. The little brother also squatted down, and below was the crack in the coffin, and he didn't think about it, so he directly reached into the crack and began to dig it up in the mud.
Listening to the sound of the mud stirring, Wu Xie felt that his back was hairy, and he just touched a few handfuls in the mud before pulling out his hand, holding a piece of mud in his hand. Shake off the mud on it, it was a plastic bag, and there were blood stains on it, but the little brother shook it a few times, and they found that the plastic bag was empty.
"How so?" Wu Xie said strangely, "Where's the thing?" ”
"The blood was fresh, and he took it away." The little brother looked around and said lightly, "It's not been long, it must be nearby." ”
"So he came here to get something after he was injured?" Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, there was a distance from the place where he was injured to here, since he could come over, then the injury would not be too serious.
The little brother touched it again, but didn't find anything, they climbed up, and Wu Xie told Agui about the situation.
An old hunter without a gun, strong and experienced, could never escape a leopard's attack, and it was strange why he had come here after being wounded, he should have returned to the village at once. He had shed so much blood all the way, and he came to take the piece of iron away, what was the reason, did he think that it would be dangerous for the piece of iron to be placed here?
They called the dog back, centered on the kofun, and several people went around looking for it.
A group of people went up the mountain, a group of people went down the mountainside, and the four of Mengli followed Agui's father and daughter to the bottom of the valley.
Wu Xie stabbed Ah Ning, and Ah Ning looked at him suspiciously, as if asking "what's the matter".
Wu Xie said in a low voice: "You go and ask the clouds, apart from the leopard, what else is there in the forest that will attack people?" ”
A-Ning smiled: "Why don't you ask?" ”
Wu Xie was a little awkward and said, "You are all girls, you must be able to talk." ”
"Then why don't you let Mengli ask?" A-Ning teased.
Wu Xie glanced at the little brother beside Mengli, and the look was self-evident - he didn't dare to mess with the little brother.
A-Ning asked Yun, "Apart from leopards, what else is there in the forest that will attack people?" ”
"There used to be too many, but now they have all been eaten, there used to be a lot of pythons, but now I haven't seen them for a long time, and those who will attack people may be wild boars. However, wild boars are very timid, and will only attack people when they are provoked, and Daddy Panma has a lot of experience, so it is impossible to provoke wild boars without weapons. Yun replied earnestly.
Wu Xie thought it was possible, but he still couldn't explain why Daddy Panma came here to take things away.
At this time, Wu Xie faintly doubted in his heart, was the danger encountered by Father Panma not an animal, could it be that the mysterious people who burned the house attacked him?
As he pondered, he suddenly heard a rapid dog barking from the direction of another group of people in the distance.
