Chapter 50: History and Truth

The inside of the cave looked very dim, but fortunately, Gong Hui's hands-on ability was relatively strong, plus he had to make torches more than once. In just a few minutes, a simple torch came out, Gong Hui held the torch in his hand, and took the lead in the lead, while Li Yu and I followed closely behind.

Walking down the inside, we found that the hole was not as deep as we thought, and all of a sudden our feet touched the ground. The first stone chamber that greeted us was a mess on the floor, and although it looked very blurry, we could still see that there was a lot of food stored in it. As I walked inside, I found that I was at the bottom of the cave, and next to it, there was a stone bed that could barely fit three adults.

The stone bed was covered with cobweb-stained bedding, perhaps because of the passage of time, and a foul smell emanated from the bedding. Next to the stone bed, there is a stone table with exactly three bowls and three pairs of chopsticks. We exchanged glances with each other, secretly frightened, while Gong Hui lowered the torch and stuck it in the center, and the three of us each headed to one side in order to find something.

Just when I didn't take a few steps, Li Yu on the other side suddenly said, "Come here, everyone, there's a discovery here." Looking in the direction pointed by Li Yu, I saw a set of broken baby clothes in the corner of the wall. My face changed suddenly, and I couldn't help but think of the three pairs of chopsticks and three bowls I saw before, and exclaimed: "There is a family of three living here, so where are they all?" Who will live here? ”。

Thinking like this, my eyes swept around again, and my feet unconsciously moved to the side. When I walked to the stone bed, I was surprised to find that there was a small line of writing on the side of the stone bed, which was partially covered by the futon. I pinched my nose and lifted the futon at once. "Did Xiao Ke find anything" Noticing the change in me, Li Yu hurriedly walked over.

Kindness! I nodded lightly, and found that next to the small characters, there was an emerald green jade pendant, in the shape of a wolf, and three big characters were clearly engraved on it-Sun Batian, I didn't take a cool breath when I saw it.

How so? Wasn't Sun Batian killed by Qi Xiucai's ancestors? Why are you in the cave again, and you still have your own children, it must be Qi Xiucai who is hiding something from us! Thinking of this, we looked around a few more times, and found that it was useless to stay any longer, so we hurried towards Qi Xiucai's house.

By this time, the sky had lit up slightly. Maybe it's the "Halloween Festival" has passed, and the people in the village are all relieved, and a big stone in their hearts has fallen, and we haven't reached Qi Xiucai yet, but we saw that there were already a few people in the distance and started to work busily.

Qi Xiu had just opened the door of the house, and when he saw me, Li Yu, and Gong Hui walking straight towards him, his face changed slightly, "A few of you look like something is wrong!" What's wrong? ”。

I stepped forward to ask, but Li Yu stopped me, "Qi Xiucai, forgive the juniors for speaking directly, we met the ghost that the village was afraid of last night, that ghost is a normal person at all, Gong Hui of your village can testify, he acted with us last night." Did you hide what you said to us before? ”。

After hearing Li Yu's words, Qi Xiucai saw Gong Hui nodded, his face first changed, he looked very surprised, and then he seemed to think of something, and suddenly became nervous, "Do you know something!" ”。

Looking at Qi Xiucai's performance, it is really similar to what we guessed. Qi Xiucai saw that we didn't speak, and looked straight at herself, first sighed, waved her hand at us, and motioned for us to sit down first, while she stood in front of the door, tilted her head, looked at the sky where the sun had not yet risen, and said in a low voice: "Actually, what I said before with you is not wrong. It's just that something is missing, since you have already guessed something, I will tell you if I am not in danger", as he spoke, Qi Xiucai took out an old book from his arms and handed it straight to me. I took it.,Sweeping my eyes to the book.,Maybe it's too much time has passed.,The paper has become yellow.,Although it looks well preserved.,But it still can't hide the vicissitudes of its years.,There are many damages in the corners of the book.。

Seeing our confused eyes, Qi Xiucai pointed to the book and said: "The book in your hand is the authentic manuscript of my ancestors, and it is recorded in this matter, it seems to be a little troublesome, let me tell you!" Qi Xiucai's face became sad, as if this incident happened yesterday, "After the errand officer was killed by Sun Batian, my ancestor did not rush to do it, but began an investigation into Sun Batian's identity. During this period, in order to calm the fears of the people in the village, my ancestors and the rest of the people of high moral standing were reassured. For the time being, Sun Batian was arranged in a secret room under the big tree, which was dug by the ancestors at that time in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, and ordinary people usually did not let them in. Since Sun Batian lived inside, he was very regular, almost not coming out five times a day. And my ancestors gradually discovered the secret of Sun Batian, you see! Speaking of this, Qi Xiucai opened the old book in my hand, turned to one of the pages, pointed straight to it, and said: "This is a unique mark, as if it is an icon of an alliance, and the wolf is their totem." My ancestors suspect that Sun Batian is one of the members of this organization."

The icon on the book is a six-pointed star.,Plus six white lotus flowers around the six-pointed star.。 And in the middle of the six-pointed star, carved is an unruly wolf.

While we were immersed in thinking, Qi Xiucai's words suddenly changed, "My ancestor is actually an accomplice", in the surprised eyes of the three of us, Qi Xiucai continued: "My ancestor relied on the little information in his hand, plus Sun Batian's good martial arts, but fled here. The two sides were connected, and my ancestors came to a conclusion: that is, there must be some secret hidden in this Sun Batian's body. In order to get the secret out, one night, my ancestors, together with a few other good men in the village, poured Sun Batian with that kind of drunken wine, and then locked him up with iron chains, and tortured him when he woke up. Sun Batian is also a man, and he didn't say any information. In vain, one night, one of my ancestors' friends, behind my ancestor's back and a group of other people, secretly interrogated Sun Batian. When I found out later, my ancestor's friend had been killed, and Sun Batian had escaped. While being surprised how Sun Batian escaped, my ancestors and a few friends desperately searched, and finally found it, in order to hide people's eyes, Sun Batian was soon killed, and finally my ancestors found out that Sun Batian had an affair with a woman in the village and gave birth to a baby boy. As soon as Sun Batian died, the woman disappeared along with the baby boy."

When the story was heard here, Li Yu and I glanced at each other, which sounded a bit like the feeling of a suspense novel, but looking at the real record book, Qi Xiucai had a regretful expression, and the facts tell us that this exists. I tried to sort out the thoughts in my head, "If these are true, then isn't it very likely that this ghost is played by this descendant of Sun Batian."

Everything is retribution! Qi Xiucai sighed heavily and looked straight at me, "Your uncle has helped me many times, it's time to repay my kindness." The sooner you find Ann Vanilla, the better, I feel that retribution will soon fall on me, so hurry up! ”。

Looking at the slowly rising sun, I shook my shoulders, lifted my spirits, and seeing Li Yu's indifferent expression, I hurriedly asked Gong Hui, "Brother, how do you feel?" ”。

Qi Xiucai was right. Our people in Qingfeng Village have always been gracious, and not sleeping for a day is a small meaning for me. Brother, let's leave early! The more you delay, the more accidents will be" Gong Hui showed a line of big white teeth, patted me on the shoulder, and laughed roughly.

Since that's all said, I didn't think about resigning. After briefly packing up the necessary food and water, as well as some precautionary tools, Li Yu and I each carried backpacks, followed Gong Hui, who was familiar with the path, and began to walk towards the back mountain. (To be continued.) )
