As usual, the mute did not explain to us, but gave the order to continue, and the group continued along the mountain stream. The stream meanders, tinkling, jubilant, and crystal clear, like a mountain elf. The crowd walked through it, not feeling tired, but just puzzled by the dumb man's approach.

At this moment, some piled up boulders appeared on the road ahead, and the dumb man immediately stepped forward, drew his dagger, and continued to scrape the moss as before, and the rest of us did not say a word, but immediately went to work. Not long after I had been scraping, I suddenly felt my dagger thump, as if there was some groove in the stone. My heart moved, slowed down, and carefully shaved the moss, and after a few moments the grooves in the stone were cleared, and I realized that it was a rough cross, apparently carved by man.

Could it be that the dumb man is looking for this?

I was stunned, patted the dumb man on the shoulder, and motioned for him to look.

The dumb man stared at the cross that was obviously roughly carved into the stone, his cold gaze did not blink, and he reached out and stroked it a few times, and said, "This is it." ”

I finally couldn't help the doubt in my heart and said, "This cross are you looking for?" How did you know there was this thing here? Bai Sanye sued you? "If my previous speculation is true, Bai Sanye is the descendant of Bai Laosi of the flying knife, then this mark is likely to be left by Bai Laosi back then, and now, Bai Sanye provided manpower to the mute and told him about the tomb of the giant ear king, obviously there is something for the dumb to do.

So, what does this cross represent?

After I asked, the dumb man looked at me and said coldly: "This cross was left by Chen. "I was shocked and felt a little confused. Arguments left behind? For a moment, my eyes were fixed on the cross on the boulder, and I felt a very special feeling in my heart, like excitement and nervousness.

But the next moment, I felt that something was wrong. If it is a mark left by an argument, how can a mute know?

Even if Bai Sanye is the descendant of Bai Laosi, it is impossible to know what Chen Ci did back then.

Without waiting for me to ask, the dumb man pointed to the surroundings and said coldly: "Search along the mountain wall, there is a cave near here, Chen Ci is inside, look for it." As soon as this order came out, although everyone didn't know who the statement was, how could there be any reason not to follow, only the old face of the white chicken showed a thoughtful expression, he was the son of the old man Zhao, so he naturally knew about the statement, so after the dumb man gave the order, he also signaled Li Fatzi to join the search.

The crowd scattered and began to search.

I only feel that I have never been so focused as I am now, and I have hardly let go of the grass and trees around me, for fear that I will miss something, until then I understood that the location where we were before may be the location where Chen Ci first met Zhao Erye, and afterwards, Zhao Erye took Chen Ci to live in a cave around him, and asked Chen Ci about the tomb of the giant ear king, and Chen Ci's body was left in that cave.

This cave was not troublesome, it didn't take long to find it, and the first to find the cave was Li Fatzi.

The entrance of the cave is relatively small, look at the structure, it should belong to a natural stone cave, the black hole in it, at this time I don't know why, the sky is dark, as if it is going to rain again, even the sun can't penetrate it. I took a deep breath, my hand shaking with the flashlight, and then I walked in first.

The cave is relatively spacious, and the internal structure is gourd-shaped, with a narrow middle and a slightly smaller space behind it.

As I walked into the front, I saw the ashes scattered on the ground, and the ashes were almost gone, and it looked like it had been a long time. Then I walked inward, a little narrow, and I walked ahead, dumb and unhurried after me.

When he reached the last space, something suddenly shone out under the light of the flashlight.

A skeletal shelf, to be exact.

It is lying on its side and scattered on the ground, with the outer layer of the shelves and the blackened fabric visible. I felt my legs start shaking uncontrollably, my breathing became rapid, my eyes instantly became hot, and even my brain became sluggish.

There was only one thought in my head.

Corpse.

There are really corpses here,

Submission...... Really died here.

I walked over to the bones, my legs trembled, my whole strength seemed to be drained, my legs were weak, and I knelt on the ground uncontrollably.

At this moment, I didn't know how to express my feelings, I just felt that my head was empty, my heart was like a balloon being inflated, a feeling of swelling and pain, my throat was like being choked, and I couldn't say a word. After a while, he barely spoke: "Dad, I'm here......"

It wasn't until this moment that I realized that the so-called indifference was nothing more than self-deception, and at this moment, in addition to the corpse in front of me, my mind was full of the appearance of death. He died silently in this cave without being buried in the ground, his body rotting, being eaten by snakes and insects, and finally only a pair of dry bones remained.

No matter how powerful a person is in life, he can't escape this fate after death.

I carefully looked at the dry bones in front of me, inch by inch, imagining what this person would look like when he was alive.

I don't know how long it took, someone patted me on the shoulder, I turned around, and found that it was Kuroko, who was holding jerky in his hand, looked at me worriedly, and said, "Brother Chen, you have been here for several hours, eat something." ”

At this time, I found out that it had rained outside, and we couldn't walk, so Xiaoyu and others lit a bonfire in the cave outside, and used a rain cloth to block the wind and rain poured into the cave, and there would be a burst of thunder from time to time outside.

I only felt tired, so I took the jerky from his hand and ate it silently. At this time, I noticed that the mute had been sitting not far away, staring coldly at the corpse on the ground. Perhaps, as long as I knelt here, he sat for as long as he sits. Kuroko didn't dare to approach the mute, so he didn't bring him food.

I got up, my knees in one position for a long time, and I trembled a little, and I went over to the dumb man and sat down, broke the jerky in half, and handed him half of it. The mute took it and chewed slowly, but his eyes still did not leave the dry bone.

If this dry bone brings me pain, then what it brings to the mute may be confusion.

Until this point, I was completely convinced, he was not a pleading.

As the mute himself said, he just wanted to know: who am I. However, now, the bones of Chen Ci are in front of our eyes, and some of the previous speculations have been completely wiped out.

There was silence in the cave, only Xiaoyu and others outside were talking about something, cursing this damn rainy day, rain will mean that we will walk in the mud tomorrow, and rainy days are prone to accidents, mudslides, landslides, sudden collapse of trees, will make our walking more dangerous.

Accompanied by the cursing of Lei Zi and the crackling of the bonfire, I asked the mute: "Have you remembered what is the relationship between you and Chen?" ”

The mute silently chewed on the jerky and did not answer my question. I was about to continue asking, when I suddenly felt that something was wrong with the dumb man, he remained motionless, chewing slowly on the jerky, but there was a fine bead of sweat floating on his forehead. I was shocked, I touched him on my body, and suddenly felt the muscles of the dumb body's body tighten, that look, as if I was suffering something, before I could react, his hand suddenly let go, the dried meat in his hand rolled to the ground, the whole person suddenly tilted his head back, and his cold eyes narrowed, as if he was in extreme pain.

I was so shocked that I immediately grabbed him, and just as I was about to speak, the dumb man covered my mouth violently, and lowered his voice very low, saying, "Don't make a sound." He gestured to the outside, and I understood that he didn't want anyone outside to know about his condition.

In desperation, I could only remain silent, watching the mute bury his head in pain, his muscles tense, and he was sweating profusely.

What the hell happened to him?

Could it be that there is some hidden disease in the dumb?

After such a toss, the grief in my heart was suppressed, and my whole mind was dumb for a while. At this moment, Feng Ghost Hand outside said, "What are they doing inside, still kneeling?" I'll take a look. Immediately after, a sound of footsteps approached us. The mute was sweating profusely, raising his head suddenly, staring at the narrow entrance in the shape of a gourd, I didn't know what to think about at this time, and subconsciously regarded the dumb man as his own relative, so he immediately got up and walked outside, blocking the Feng ghost hand who was about to come in.

Feng Ghost paused and said, "I heard that you have been kneeling inside until now?" ”

I said, "It's none of your business. Feng Ghost shrugged his shoulders and said, "It really has nothing to do with me, what is the surname Wu doing in there?" ”

I said, "I'm staring at the corpse in a daze, you'd better not disturb him." ”

Feng Ghost nodded, noncommittal, his voice was a little low, and said, "That's a freak who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, I'm not interested in provoking him." Then he turned and sat down by the fire. I also sat down, but I was thinking about the situation just now, it seems that he has some hidden disease, why didn't he find it before?

It wasn't until the evening that the heavy rain stopped, and there were some rumbling sounds in the distance, like landslides. According to the current road conditions, no matter how optimistic the situation is, we will not be able to go on the road until noon tomorrow, which is a little worse, and we may have to be trapped for another day.

After looking at the time, everyone arranged a vigil and rested. When I saw that the rest of the people were asleep, I went to sleep in the inner cave, and the mute seemed to have recovered, and closed his eyes against the mountain wall. I lowered my voice and asked, "What did you just do?" ”

The dumb said: "Headache." ”

My heart moved, I looked at the bones next to me, and said, "Do you remember something?" ”

The dumb man squinted, followed my gaze to the dry bone, and finally shook his head, and said, "Nothing." I stared at his calm expression, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, perhaps psychologically, I felt that he was lying.
