Dig up the ground with a steel shovel......

The first layer of floating sand.

Then, there is the loess layer.

Under the one-and-a-half-foot-deep layer of loess, there is ...... A skeleton with white bones.

Their muscles have long since been corrupted into phosphorus fire.

"This ...... Can you see the cause of their deaths? Chu He frowned and asked.

In the ground of this compound alone, there are dozens of corpses dug up.

Song Nian took a closer look and glanced at Chu He in surprise: "Of course...... Can't see it. There are only bones left, and you can't see it. ”

Chu He was depressed.

However, Song Nian smiled and continued, "But...... It can be seen that these people should be in the prime of life, you can see that the bones are well-proportioned and strong, except for some old injuries, they did not suffer serious injuries before death. ”

Chu He was stunned for a moment, walked to Song Nian's side, and checked it through the bonfire: "It's indeed ......"

Song Nian pointed to the tall skeleton in front of him, and nodded at the skeleton's right arm: "This right arm has traces of healing after being broken, it means ......"

Su Qi'er raised his hand on the side: "It means that after he has his hand, he has raised his arm and injured his muscles and bones for a hundred days, which means that he can at least recover in this city." Other words...... There really hasn't been any invasion in this city. ”

Otherwise, there will definitely be traces of slashing and axes on the bones of these people, not traces of healing.

Song Nian touched Su Qi'er's little braincase: "Not bad, yes, really smart." ”

"Then what do you mean......" Chu He frowned.

Song Nian smiled slightly and looked around: "This courtyard is the largest in the city, and it happens to be in the center of the city, so ...... This is supposed to be the headquarters of the general who guards this place...... And bury the dead here......"

Chu He was stunned: "What do you mean ......?"

Next to Song Nian's tall corpse, he picked up a heavily rusted helmet, on which intricate patterns were faintly visible: "I remember this kind of thing, it should be owned by the generals in the army." ”

Chu He nodded, and then wondered, "What are you talking about this?" ”

Song Nian smiled slightly: "This helmet is next to this corpse, probably ...... The bones of this right arm that had been broken were the main generals of Longyou City at that time...... After they died, someone entered Longyou City and buried them on the spot......"

Chu He frowned, Song Nian had already pointed something, but he couldn't figure it out: "Since that's the case...... Those people should loot all the valuable things in this place......"

Chu He was well aware of the hardships of life for the Saiwaihu people, especially the lack of salt, iron, and armor. The former dynasty was strong, and this Longyou city was an extremely rich border city, the helmet of the main general...... It's something that's so precious, so why was it left out here?

Chu He looked for it next to him...... He also dug out some heavily rusted swords with a shovel.

This is even more unlikely. Even if the Hu people could let go of the exquisite helmet of the master general, they would not let go of these swords.

Could it be that all these Hu people have changed their sexes?

Song Nian smiled and said to Chu He: "The original garrison of Longyou City can't just be buried in this one place, let's look around." ”

Then, Song Nian took Chu He and Su Qi'er and went around the ancient city of Longyou, and soon found something.

In the northwest corner, they dug up more than a dozen bones.

These bones were not buried in the ground, but scattered here, covered by floating sand, but remained intact.

Because Longyou City itself is also built on a water source, the underground is damp, and it is easy for these corpses to rot.

At this time, these corpses covered by floating sand were very well preserved because of the dryness in the desert.

However, the surface of these corpses is not yellow like other corpses, but shows patches of black.

Song Nian looked at these corpses and suddenly sighed slightly.

Really...... Same as she had initially guessed.

"Master...... This corpse is so strange......" Su Qi'er was curious to touch it.

"Don't touch it!" Song Nian said sharply.

Su Qi'er hurriedly withdrew her hand in fright.

"What, this thing, it's scary?" Chu He asked.

Song Nian shook his head slightly: "This thing is not very scary...... It is extremely scary! ”

Chu He and Su Qi'er were suddenly a little nervous.

"Okay, as long as you don't touch this thing and stay away, you should be fine."

Song Nian thought to himself that when he was digging just now, he habitually used a steel shovel, and these two guys did not have direct contact with the bones, so they didn't have to worry about these two guys getting into trouble.

"Okay, this ancient city can't stay, we'd better go overnight......"

Before Song Nian finished speaking, a whistle suddenly sounded outside.

Then, the light of the fire faintly came.

"Let's go, go up and have a look!"

The three of them hurriedly climbed up to the top of the city from the nearby sand dunes, using their hands and feet together.

Outside, a team, holding torches high, roaring in their mouths, surrounded Longyou City.

Song Nian was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Chu He.

"How did the Hu people know we were coming?"

Instead, Su Qi'er pointed behind her.

Song Nian looked back...... The bonfire before the game burned a faint pillar of smoke, which was actually quite conspicuous in the night.

After all...... It's a desert, and it's empty.

"What should I do......" Looking at so many Hu people below, Song Nian quickly calculated in his mind.

"First...... Pretend to be a Hu person to try? Chu He glanced at Su Qi'er.

After all, Su Qier can speak nonsense.

"Good...... I had to try it first. Song Nian nodded.

The Hu people below ran around the ancient city of Longyou a few times, and seemed to have found the three people at the head of the city, so they quickly surrounded them. Bow and arrow.

Song Nian hurriedly asked Su Qi'er to squat down: "Hurry up...... Tell them that we are Hu people too! ”

Su Qi'er hurriedly shouted a few words according to Song Nian's meaning.

But the Hu people below, instead of stopping, heard Su Qi'er's voice and threw the bow and arrow directly.

Fortunately, although the ancient city of Longyou has collapsed and fallen into ruin, the defense facilities at the head of the city are still a little left, and the raised arrow battlements block all these arrows.

"Master...... What should I do? Su Qi'er said pitifully.

Even if he is smart and clever on weekdays, he has no way to face Hu Ren, who shoots arrows directly without reason.

"Wait a minute...... I want to think about it......" Song Nian thought quickly.

"Don't rush...... They shouldn't dare to come over. Chu He pulled out a wide gate board from the collapsed arrow tower on the side, put it on his head, and protected the three of them.

The next moment, Hu Ren heard the sound of dragging the door panel, and it was covered by a continuous rain of arrows.

Fortunately, the three of them had the protection of the door panel, and they could only hear the sound of chopping and chopping overhead, but they were unharmed.

"Don't you dare to come up?" This round of arrow rain made Song Nian feel at ease. Arrows are also very important to the Hu people, and they will not be wasted easily.

Why on earth did they refuse to enter the city?
