Chapter 17: Stepping into the Ancient Battlefield
I rubbed my eyes vigorously, thinking that it was due to excessive fatigue, which made my special right eye see a strange scene, such a large piece of white bone, how could it not be reality. But no matter how you knead it, the white bones are still white bones, and on the black land, it is particularly prominent.
I can't even estimate how many are down, hundreds of thousands or even millions, as long as my eyes can see, all the bones are white, maybe all the way to the opposite mountain wall.
Seeing that I didn't have any feedback, the others rushed up to see what was going on.
Only the fat brother was still lying there and was too lazy to move, and he kept saying, "Sister Su, take out the delicious food in your bag and give it to the fat brother to enjoy?" After a while, my brother is going to collapse. ”
When everyone saw the scene in front of them, they didn't speak, but stood there.
If it was us at the beginning, seeing this kind of scenery, we would definitely be scared out of our minds, and we would have run away long ago, but now everyone is crawling back from the line of life and death, and the mentality is very different, seeing this picture, I don't even feel a trace of fear in my heart, and I feel that this scene is very spectacular.
The fat brother shouted for a long time, and found that no one answered, so he got up and walked up the small dirt slope, and said while climbing: "Oh, do you understand how to respect the old and love the young?" I have old arms and legs, and I don't have a sensible doll to support me. When you reach the age of the fat brother, hehe......" Before the words were finished, the fat brother stopped making any sound, and the original laughing expression instantly froze.
After standing for about twenty seconds, the fat brother sat on the ground, put his feet on the ground with force, as if riding a slide, and slipped himself back to the back of the slope, closed his eyes, maintained the previous lying position, and muttered in his mouth: "Hallucinations, all hallucinations, we have been drugged." ”
None of them paid attention to the fat brother, and they all stared at him curiously.
The fat brother lay down with his eyes closed for a few minutes, then opened his eyes again, stood up and climbed up the dirt slope on all fours, and then there was no more.
I knew that his self-treatment didn't work, and the bone wilderness in front of him was still full of bones.
Seeing that this was the case, the fat brother no longer tossed, just sat on the dirt slope, looked into the distance with his hands on his knees, and greeted us in his mouth: "You stand and talk, don't your waist hurt?" Come on, sit down, let's study and study, what kind of place is this? ”
We sat in a row in the posture of the fat brother, but still no one spoke.
I didn't speak because I really couldn't speak, I didn't have any thoughts in my head, and it came too suddenly, and the moment in front of me was like the end of the world, not our end, but the end of history.
The fat brother asked, "Is this a mass grave?" And it was a mass grave that had been washed away by floodwaters. ”
Su Rina opened her mouth and said, "Will the mass grave bury so many dead people? I'm afraid the massacre won't reach this level. And do you see the tombstones and tablets? Even if most of them are nameless corpses, there must be some of them with names, right? ”
So what could it be? I also kept imagining in my head, and after thinking about it for a long time, I could only give one answer, that is, a disaster, maybe it was caused by a disaster? Volcanoes, earthquakes, mudslides, floods, no matter what, must be natural disasters that cannot be fought by manpower, otherwise such a large-scale death, even if it is a plague outbreak, cannot be so.
Although Lu Shan is not here, Yan Qiu must have some research on such a thing as an ancient corpse, so I asked Yan Qiu: "Do you see any doorway?" Is there a relatively plausible explanation? ”
After a while, Yan Qiu replied to me, "War." ”
I wasn't sure, so I asked again: "War?" You say it's the result of war? ”
Yan Qiu nodded and said, "Although I can't see it clearly, I think only the ancient battlefield will be like this." You see those corpses, they are all horizontal and vertical, with different shapes, they must not have been buried after death, otherwise the corpses should have been placed. ”
I said what I thought again: "Is that a natural disaster?" ”
Yan Qiu shook his head and said: "I've thought about this too, it doesn't look like it, if it is impossible to avoid natural disasters, then these people must be in a state of escape before they die, at least they have to move in the same direction, look at these corpses, is it a little too messy?" ”
I still insisted on my opinion, looking for the possibility of natural disasters, and said to Yan Qiu: "Look, there is a forest behind us, but there is no here, maybe it is a forest fire, and these people died here, since they were burned to death, it is normal for them to have different forms." ”
Yan Qiu continued: "I think it's because too many people have died here, so there are no plants. ”
I didn't agree with that, and I retorted, "It's impossible, rotting corpses are the best fertilizer, and they should grow more vigorously." ”
The fat brother said: "At first glance, you don't know how to raise flowers, if there is too much fertilizer, the plants will be burned to death, I prefer to unify Yanqiu's statement." ”
In fact, I am also inclined to Yan Qiu's statement, but I really don't want to admit that this is an ancient battlefield, not only because I can't accept the cruel cannibalism of the same kind, but also because I feel that the battlefield is too hostile, and the ghost is not gone, and I feel uneasy from the bottom of my heart.
Yan Qiu's attitude towards history and archaeology has always been rigorous, and she added: "I'm just guessing, let's take a closer look, it's a bit far away now, and I can't understand it." ”
Jiang Li reacted the strongest, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't go, don't go, I'm not going, it's too scary, let's go back." ”
Heading back? The result was already clear, after crossing the woods and reaching the waterhole, under which was the dungeon, and there was no way home at all. If you encounter the monster Dai Qin chasing after you, it may be another life-and-death battle.
Don't look at the scene in front of you where corpses are strewn all over the field, although it looks scary, but at least they are dead people, dead people will not bring us danger, this point I have deeply experienced, and now in my heart, maybe the one who dies is the safest.
I went to provoke Jiang Li and said, "Yo, who wants to see what secrets are in this?" Who is looking for my sister again, and I want to find turbidity? Who is the family mission greater than one qiē? You fooled us from home to here, and you said that if you don't leave, you won't leave? Fat brother even delayed his honeymoon, can you be responsible? ”
With my understanding of Jiang Li, my words must work, her biggest advantage is that she has a strong sense of responsibility, and her biggest disadvantage is precisely that she is too responsible. Although she is still immature, she takes the initiative to take on responsibilities far more than any adult, and it is this sense of responsibility that keeps her wandering in the dangerous and strange life of not being able to live like a normal person.
Jiang Li listened to my words and looked at everyone with a slightly aggrieved gaze.
Everyone understands my intentions, and they don't pay attention to Jiang Li, and they don't even look at her, they look in their own directions.
Jiang Li took a deep breath, stood up by pressing my shoulder, then raised his neck, and said to me: "I know you are a radical general, but I will eat your set, just leave, there is nothing to be afraid of." If you want to go, hurry up, don't catch up with that second bastard. ”
"Two bastards? Who is the second bastard? Does anyone else you know? Surina was curious.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made a mistake, the second bastard is my sister, and we give each other nicknames." ”
The fat brother immediately gossiped and asked, "Nickname each other?" Then she's called the second bastard, what's your name? ”
Jiang Li smiled embarrassedly, and did not answer the fat brother, but trotted down the dirt slope and took the lead in moving forward.
Although the scene in front of us was something we didn't want to touch, it was at least much easier than running for our lives, and everyone followed Jiang Li with light steps, quickly approaching the wilderness full of corpses.
The closer you get, the more obvious the eerie aura that these white bones exude, making people feel chills in their bodies.
As soon as he reached the edge of the group of bones, Yan Qiu squatted down and picked up a stone from the ground.
The stone was a foot long, pointy at one end, as if polished, slightly smooth, and round at the other, with a hole.
Yan Qiu leaned on the stone and said to us: "It seems that I am right, this is an ancient battlefield, you look at this stone, this is a relatively primitive weapon, that is, a weapon similar to the Stone Age, it should have been tied to a wooden stick with a straw rope, and now the wooden stick and the straw rope are estimated to have rotted long ago, leaving only this stone." ”
None of us spoke, and as we walked on, my heart was already churning, and I didn't know what kind of war it was, and it was so tragic, and the battle between people like beasts seemed to be vivid.
Further on were several corpses, some of which were half-hidden in the black soil, some completely exposed to the surface, and beside them were a short sword with rusty and green color, and fragments of armor.
Yan Qiu stopped again, and picked up a dagger with a very puzzled expression, the dagger was already covered with green rust, and it was not smooth, Yan Qiu frowned and said, "This is a bronze short sword, this time it's a little strange." ”
