The problem of these strange houses and that strange thing is like a shadow that hovers in my mind. Speaking of which, we are looking for the entrance to the underground space of Ta'er Lake, and this ancient city is just a very unexpected discovery, and it seems that it has nothing to do with my purpose. However, the ancient city is here in Ta'er Lake, and if I don't figure it out, then I will feel unreliable about the next action.

"Let's take a look at it again." I said to both of them, "Be careful, be safe anyway." ”

I changed my mind and didn't go towards the eastern wall for a while. It's hard to say whether these strange houses are related to anything or not, but I think it's necessary to explore them again.

However, we did not dare to go to the middle of this house, and if we fell inside, it would be even more difficult to deal with any accidents. So the three of them were the same as just now, Hu Gaoshan led the way, and Mu Qiang and I followed.

As Hu Gaoshan walked, he looked out the windows of the huts. The few small houses I saw before were all empty, and after walking for a while, Hu Gaoshan waved at us.

Walking over and looking, Hu Gaoshan noticed that there seemed to be a big piece of wood in the hut.

A large piece of wood, estimated to be sixty or seventy centimeters high, almost filled the hut. The wood has apparently been artificially processed, and it looks like a cello case.

This is the only thing left of the hut that we have found so far, and what this wood is used for, it is difficult to say now. Mu Qiang guessed that these small houses might have similar effects to the small bamboo buildings that his master had seen in the cottages in Guangxi, but the fact that there was such a strange piece of wood in the house was beyond our guess.

"Do you want to take a look?"

"Let's see, I've found out, I'll figure it out." I leaned against the wall of the hut and went around to the other side of the window. This is the door to the hut. The door is also very small, and the deadbolt of the door is outside, which means that the door can only be opened from the outside.

It is conceivable that if this hut is really used to close something, then if you throw something in it, and someone inserts a deadbolt outside, it is impossible for the inside to open the door.

This is a log door, which is very thick, and the outside is also wrapped with a layer of copper skin, which acts as a reinforcement. In addition to the deadbolt, there is a noticeable pit in the door.

This pit may have been used to top a door bar from the outside, the deadbolt was added to the door bar, the double safety, and the door itself was reinforced, I can't imagine how much force it would take to burst out of the hut to forcibly destroy the door.

There was a little damp in the air around them, and the deadbolt had long since rusted. Hu Gaoshan and Mu Qiang used a crowbar for a long time to get the door bolt out, and the door was pulled out and the door opened. The hut was already small, and the piece of wood was placed in it, so people couldn't get into it. The three of us worked together to drag the piece of wood out of it.

The sound of the wood when it landed was a little abnormal, Mu Qiang squatted down and looked at it, looked up and said to me: "This is not a piece of wood, it is empty inside, it may be used to hold something." ”

"What's it for?" I took out my phone and took a picture of the wood and the hut.

"I guess it's for living things." Mu Qiang pointed to a few small holes in the wood and said, "It looks like an insect eye of wood, but it's not, it's drilled out to breathe." ”

"Open it and take a look."

Looking through the air vent, they couldn't see anything clearly, so Mu Qiang and Hu Gaoshan began to open the wood.

In fact, it was a large, crudely made wooden box, and on one side of the wood, there was a very quaint latch-like thing. Pull out the iron bar as thick as the little thumb, and the wood opens up from the middle.

The Heavenly Maiden has always been in my hands, and when this piece of wood was opened, my scalp was numb, and I subconsciously pulled the trigger.

Mu Qiang's guess was not wrong, this piece of wood, or this clumsy wooden box, was indeed used to put things, and it was a living thing.

There was a man in the wooden box, lying flat there, already dead. The corpse did not decompose, all the water evaporated, leaving only a layer of dry skin, wrapped around the bones.

The corpse had long hair and was dressed in a burlap-like garment, dark red.

Mu Qiang is more experienced in this area, and the people who go down to the pit often deal with ancient corpses. He slowly flipped the crowbar for a while, and saw a clue from the corpse.

The clothes worn by the corpses were made of the bark of a tree, which is mainly produced in Qinghai and has rich and fine bark fibers. The dye used to dye the cloth is supposed to be a red stone.

"This should be a female corpse." Mu Qiang said: "It should be." ”

I originally thought that the thing that was detained in the small room like this should be something amazing, but I didn't expect it to be just a female corpse. As soon as the female corpse was dehydrated, her body size shrank a lot, but she can still see the proportions of her body before her death. I feel that the proportions are normal, when she is alive, she should be about one meter six or seven tall, her legs are relatively long, and the length of her arms is also within the normal range.

In other words, this is a very ordinary woman.

However, this speculation does not quite conform to the logical chain we have constructed, if it is just a very ordinary woman, there is no need to spend so much effort to lock her up in a hut.

"Do you think it will be a punishment?" Hu Gaoshan whispered beside him: "Where do I remember seeing it, it seems to be Mongolia?" Decades ago, people were locked in a big wooden box, with only their heads exposed, and people couldn't get out, couldn't escape, and would eventually die. ”

I don't know if what Master Hu said makes sense, but I can feel it with my own imagination, the internal space of this clumsy wooden box in front of me is very limited, and stuffing a person into it and locking the box means that people don't even have room to turn over inside. That kind of environment is extremely cramped, and it won't take long for people to become depressed and crazy.

"Mr. Lian, that's not right."

When Mu Qiang was talking to Hu Gaoshan, he used a crowbar to pull the hair of the female corpse, and the hair was very long, probably because it was too dirty, and it was knotted into strands. Peeling the hair away, the face of the female corpse was revealed.

The dehydrated corpse probably can't tell what the corpse looked like before it died. However, based on the size of the skull, it is a normal proportion, and there is nothing suspicious.

"See what's wrong?"

Mu Qiang took the flashlight in Hu Gaoshan's hand and shone it directly on the face of the female corpse, then pointed at it with a crowbar and said, "Look at it, what is this?" ”

The place that Mu Qiang was pointing to was the part of the female corpse's forehead.

When the flashlight shone directly at such a close distance, all the details of the female corpse's entire face could be seen clearly. After Mu Qiang's guidance, I looked at it and felt that my head was big.

In the middle of the woman's forehead, there was a depression about two centimeters long. If I only listened to Mu Qiang's story, I would think that the female corpse may have suffered some serious injuries before her death, and even caused the depression and deformation of her forehead.

Only when you see it with your own eyes will you know what this depression about two centimeters long is.

It was one eye, one vertical eye.

In other words, this female corpse, which looks normal in every aspect, has three eyes and three eyes.

It dawned on me that it was impossible to know what the three eyes of the female corpse were for, but it was 100 percent the reason why she was detained here. It's because she's different from ordinary people and has three eyes that she suffered such a bad luck.

I can't guess when the underground ancient city was built, and when it was completely forgotten. It's just that the fate of this female corpse has been fixed in the long years. She was probably imprisoned here while she was alive, and then died in a wooden box, until the ancient city was deserted, and no one cared about the wooden box and hut where she was held.

Three-eyed woman, three-eyed...... The more I looked, the more I felt hairy. This kind of dehydrated corpse is not unique in the terrain environment of Ta'er Lake, and the ancient caravans I found on the old road of the Huyang River before were basically such dried corpses.

However, there has never been a dry corpse that can give me the same deep psychological fear as this three-eyed female corpse. I thought I was already a person with immunity to corpses, but looking at the three-eyed female corpse, my heart kept beating wildly.

I was a little weak-hearted, and a little scared, I was afraid that when the three of us didn't notice, the female corpse's forehead had dried up into a sunken vertical eye, which would quietly open.

"Three eyes." Hu Gaoshan must have seen such a strange corpse for the first time, but this young man was bolder than me, not only was he not afraid, but he also became very interested, squatted down and looked at it carefully for a while: "Isn't Erlang God also three-eyed?" ”

"What do you want to say?" Mu Qiang also took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the three-eyed female corpse.

"Erlang God's name is Yang Jian, right? This woman is the sister of Erlang God? Yang Xiaomei? ”

"Yang, your sister's little sister." Mu Qiang stuffed the flashlight to Hu Gaoshan: "I don't know how your IQ got mixed into the ancient line." ”

"Brother Qiang, don't be angry, I'll just talk about it casually." Hu Gaoshan took the flashlight and grinned.

I didn't have the heart to listen to the two of them here, my heart was beating all the time, and my eyelids seemed to be jumping with it. It is impossible to find out the origin of this three-eyed female corpse, but the three-eyed female corpse made me realize a problem.

No matter how abnormal the three-eyed female corpse is, it only takes a small room like this to imprison her inside. And in this ancient city, there are at least two or three hundred such huts, and it is impossible to build so many houses without such a great demand.

What does this mean? This shows that when the three-eyed female corpse was still alive, there were still many people like her.
