Chapter 9: The Grave of the Past
"Are there just a few of us here?" As a man, I can't compete with women, so I'll speak first to break the silence between us.
"I don't know, why don't you take a walk and have a look?" Yu Shanshan was the first to invite me to walk around.
This sentence is exactly what I want, and I came out with the intention of walking around here, at least to see how many people there are in the town, such as the number eight who is known as the old player, and the number two who goes first.
Where have they gone? I haven't seen them since yesterday.
The two of us walked side by side on the stone path, and with the quaint houses around, it felt like we had traveled back in time to ancient times in an instant.
The only thing that is incongruous is the clothes on our bodies, which have the illusion of being out of place with the surrounding scenery.
The town, really small, not even as big as the real village, we only walked for about ten minutes before we came to the end of the road.
Actually, it's not the end, but the houses are only here.
There is still some distance ahead of the road, but the houses on both sides have been replaced by graves.
Yes, the kind of grave you think.
One by one, one by one, one after another, one after another, and the number of tombstones is too numerous to count.
I couldn't help frowning, with so many graves, how many people have to die?
"Let's go, let's see."
I dragged Yu Shanshan and walked with me towards the grave.
To tell you the truth, I would never dare to leave me alone in this mound of graves after passing through my room.
But there is a Yu Shanshan by my side, I am much bolder, how to say, I can't outrun the tiger, I can outrun Shanshan.
Just kidding, just kidding, if I was in danger, I wouldn't leave her alone.
The first tombstone looks very old, and it is pitted with great signs of age.
The words on the tombstone are also very ancient characters, but because of the years, many places have been corroded.
"Do you want to keep walking?"
I looked into the distance of the grave, the pile of graves, which was a few points larger than the town, and I always felt that there was some secret in it.
"Let's go, I also want to see how such a large grave was formed." Yu Shanshan was not afraid at all, and even felt a little eager to try.
I couldn't help but look at her twice, but finally didn't say anything, turned around and continued walking.
We walked along the bluestone pavement and did not go deep into the grave.
Although I can only see two or three rows of tombstones here, I think it should be enough.
The further you go, the fader the traces of time on the tombstone become.
I stopped and looked back at the original, and the closest to the town's chambers, the stone tombstones almost eroded by time.
Here, the tombstones are very well preserved.
Not that it is not corroded, here it can be said that it is not corroded, relative to the first.
Is it true that the grave is newer and newer away from the town?
I lowered my head and my fingers clenched unconsciously, all the participants of the game, are they finally buried here?
"What did you find?"
Yu Shanshan saw me stop, turned her head and asked.
I shook my head and didn't say much, because a lot of times, some things are said that is not very good.
The two men continued to walk forward, from the large stone slabs that were badly corroded at the beginning, to the real tombstones that are now carved in shape.
Bury your own teammates?
When I die, will someone be buried?
For a moment, this thought suddenly appeared in my head, and at the same time, I also thought of the house I entered, a house without a house number.
Maybe I won't even have a body left.
The tombstones on both sides gradually change, as if we have walked through history and time, from ancient to modern, from blurred handwriting to inlaid photographs.
I exhaled deeply and looked up at the blue sky.
To be honest, looking at so many tombstones, I was very depressed.
Finally, we have come to the end.
Brand new tombstones, engraved with brand new photos, familiar faces, familiar beards, familiar smiles.
Although I had guessed it before, my heart still twitched violently when I saw him at this moment.
Already dead and still trying to help us, really appreciate you, if it weren't for the fact that I inadvertently opened the room with an empty door number.
The bearded man, the first person we met when we came to the town, he told us how to open the house and also told us not to enter the room with an empty house number.
Yes, he was right now in front of me, looking at me with that loyal and hearty smile, and his eyes were as clear as water.
I'm looking at him, too, except that I'm standing in front of the tombstone, and he's on it.
There is no fear, no fear, there is only sighing and moving.
I looked at his name, Yan Tiannan, a very chivalrous name, and it also fits his personality and appearance very well.
Further back, there are a few people I don't know.
"I've seen this man." Yu Shanshan suddenly exclaimed, and she pointed to a tombstone.
On the tombstone is a very cheerful-looking man with very verve eyes, although it is only a photograph, it gives me the feeling of being really watched.
It was as if this person was standing in front of me and greeting me.
There was no name on his tombstone, only one sentence, and he never dreamed of it for the rest of his life.
"What did he tell you?"
"Just tell me how to open the room, and then say don't open the room with an empty door."
"What would happen if it was opened, did he say?"
"Not really, he only said that something unpredictable would happen, and as for what it was, he didn't say."
"It's him we met." I pointed to the beard.
Yu Shanshan stood stunned for a moment, and then said strangely: "Why did they suddenly run out to find us?" Just to tell us how to open the room? ”
"If that's the case, it's too easy." I crouched in front of the bearded tombstone and wiped the stains off the photo with my hands.
"What do you think they have to tell us?"
I smiled and said heavily, "It's not that simple, it's not that simple, you haven't touched the empty door number room, you don't know the horror inside." ”
I once spent the night in an empty room where only I knew the fear.
They suddenly appeared and told us how to open the room, just to open the room, and told us that there are many ways to open the room, and there is no need to show up.
And now we see their tombstones again, fortunately it is me and Yu Shanshan who see the tombstones, if it were someone else, I am afraid that I would have been scared and overwhelmed.
Since it has already appeared, why not say a few more words, just say those two useless words, even if we have to guess, at least we have to give some hints.
Nothing, nothing to say.
Could it be that they came out at risk?
My heart struck, where did the danger come from, was it an empty room?
I'm not sure, at least not now.
"Let's go, let's go back."
"Wait, there's a stone monument here, Qinglan Town."
Is this the name of the town? I stood under the stele and looked at it for a while, and finally decided to go back first.
