I looked at them during the Lantern Festival, "What's standing in there?" ”

Unexpectedly, Lantern Xiao also shook his head, "I don't know, but through the observation just now, I can judge that those are probably some kind of relics left by the ancient ancestors." ”

I nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "Do you remember that offering altar at the bend of the underground river?" Coming out of the closed passage of the altar, there seems to be something similar. ”

"You're talking about that tall mound of rocks like the Mani pile?" Lantern Xiao also remembered the scene at that time, "That's right, it's really similar!" It seems that the tall things in the wasteland in front of them should be of the same type as the altar things. ”

Anado looked at us, "So, that altar in the river and what we're seeing now were built by the same people?" ”

"From the current situation, there is indeed a possibility of that." I couldn't help frowning, "This shows that there was once a little-known ancient civilization in this place. ”

"But how can civilization emerge in such a place?" Anado doesn't seem to agree with me, "Since ancient times, the places where civilizations or cultures have appeared have been conducive to human habitation and survival, such as the Yellow River civilization, the Yangtze River civilization, and later the Sanxingdui culture and the Liangzhu culture. But look at this place," said Anado, gesturing around, "poisonous snakes and beasts, the terrain is precipitous, the climate is unpredictable, who would want to live in such a place again!" ”

Lantern Xiao listened to Anado's words and nodded, "Well, it makes sense, but if this is not built by the ancient ancestors who lived here, then who built these things here, this is not a small scale." ”

Anador smiled slightly, "This is not simple, building an altar here, does not mean that you have to live here, the ancient emperors all built altars and temples on Mount Tai, but I haven't seen that emperor live on it all year round." ”

Actually, I understand what Anador means, she thinks that these are all built here by the ancestors outside the mountain, and the situation that Anador said is indeed possible, but I always find that this is not the case here.

I shook my head and said to Anadot, "It's not exactly what you say. ”

Anador looked at me with a wink, "What do you mean?" ”

I said, "Actually, it is possible to say that there were ancient ancestors who lived here. Although it is located here in a remote area and the environment is harsh, if these ancient ancestors came here for refuge, then it can explain all the problems. ”

"Evacuation?" Anadot couldn't help frowning, "When I was in college, I studied Chinese history, but I never saw a record of this situation than you said. ”

Hearing her say this, I suddenly smiled, "I thought the same as you at the beginning, if you can experience this kind of thing a few times, you will re-establish your worldview." The stone man with tentacles, the offering altar, the huge snake bones, I'm afraid you've never learned these things in history. ”

Anado was stunned by what I said, and opened her mouth as if she didn't know how to refute it for a while, but she still didn't seem to be willing to be persuaded by me, so she just muttered, "I still think your idea is inaccurate." ”

Instead of arguing with Anadot, I turned to Wenmo. I'm more looking forward to his ideas than that.

Wen Mo kept looking at the darkness in front of him, as if he was in deep thought, and then another lightning bolt fell from the sky, and the huge roar made us all cover our ears and squat on the ground, only Wen Mo remained motionless, he seemed to be immersed in his own world, and the things around him had nothing to do with him.

After a while, the world became quiet again, but it could only be relatively quiet, but the more troublesome thing was that the rain seemed to be heavier, Wen Mo patted the water on his body, "Let's go, go back first, and come back tomorrow during the day." ”

Although I was a little disappointed that he only said this, I also have to admit that at this time, it can only be like this.

So the four of us turned around and went back the way we came. "How are you feeling?" As he spoke, Lantern Xiao raised his hand and looked like he was about to pat me on the shoulder, but fortunately, he reacted under my frightened gaze and rubbed his hands embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I forgot, are you physical, do you need me to carry you?" ”

I waved my hand and patted Lantern Xiao's shoulder with my backhand, "It's okay, brother can still bear it!" ”

Despite what I say, to be honest, I'm tired. However, I can't always rely on others, and it is not so easy for others to travel in such a rainy jungle, let alone take care of me again.

Therefore I insisted on walking on my own, but halfway through the procession, I had gradually fallen behind the end of the line, and I took advantage of their lack of attention, so I leaned against the trees to rest, and when I looked down, I suddenly saw something in the grass under the tree.

I immediately crouched down to look at it, and saw that a corner of something had been exposed in the soil beneath the grass due to the rain.

It looks like a bag, and it looks like someone has buried something here.

The three people in front of me saw that I had fallen behind, so they walked back again, and Lantern Xiao asked, "Zhuo Ran, what's wrong with you?" You okay? ”

I waved my hand without raising my head, "Look here! ”

A few people came over to take a look, and Lantern Xiao said "Huh", "What is buried in this soil?" As he spoke, he reached out and was about to dig.

I quickly stopped him, "Be careful! ”

Lantern Xiao stopped, nodded, then took out the short knife, reached into the soil and gently pried it, and picked something out of the soil. I reached out and took it and saw that it was a bag of compressed food, and there was a cigarette butt in the bag. I looked through it and saw that the production date on the package was not far from now.

This made me a little surprised, "Someone has been here recently, it shouldn't be Yuan An's person, could it be my second uncle?" But it's not right, my second uncle doesn't smoke! What's the deal with this cigarette butt? ”

Lantern Xiao stretched out his hand and took the bag, "Actually, there is no fuss about this, nine times out of ten it was left by your second uncle, this vast mountain, he is alone, how boring it is if he doesn't smoke a cigarette!" ”

"Fart!" I glanced at Lantern Xiao, then looked at Wenmo.

Wen Mo didn't look at what I was holding, but reached out and touched the grass under my feet, "This piece of land has been touched. ”

"Moved?" I asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Wen Mo stretched out his hand and grabbed a piece of turf and said, "The person who buried the thing is experienced and very cautious. He first lifted the surface of the turf in its entirety, buried it in it, and then covered the turf so that there were almost no traces, and it seemed that the man did not want anyone to find his trace. ”

I also reached over and touched it, and it was indeed as Wenmo said. "In this way, this person should not be my second uncle, and those who can come here must know that he is here. So there is no need for him to do it. And this person who hides his traces simply doesn't want others to know about his existence. And he almost succeeded, and if it weren't for this heavy rain, we wouldn't have found out. ”

Lantern Xiao listened to my words, and her face changed slightly, "Then who will this person be?" ”

I shook my head gently, "I don't know, but I really let Yuan An say it right, there is another force here besides us, the Yuan family, and my second uncle!" ”

Anado's face also became a little solemn, "Judging from the current situation, this person is not a simple character, I don't know if he is an enemy or a friend?" ”

Lantern Xiao snorted coldly, "It's so sneaky, nine times out of ten, it's not a good thing!" ”

I said, "Okay, now that we've found out, let's be prepared and be careful." I glanced at Wen Mo intentionally or unintentionally, "Even if it happens, it's not certain who will kill the deer!" ”

We restored the ground to its original state and went back to the tents in the camp. Lying in my sleeping bag, I tossed and turned, and the situation was much more complicated than I had imagined. In particular, a mysterious force joined. As I combed through my past experiences, I couldn't help but wonder who they would be. The Tang family? The Tan family? Or the Nie family? Or are they other forces in the inverted circle? Based on the current clues alone, I think it is possible for anyone.

Suddenly, a name jumped into my mind: Mr. Yue! However, the thought of this person makes me unable to think at all, because this person is a mystery in itself!

I don't know if it's the blood loss from the wound that makes my brain blood supply a little insufficient, and when I think about it, I feel dizzy. I forced myself to close my eyes and rest.

When I woke up, it was already dawn and the rain had stopped. I feel like I'm not in a better shape than I was yesterday, even though my injured shoulder still can't move freely. I am still very happy when this level of recovery is achieved. It also gave me more confidence in the rest of the trip.

I got up and got out of the tent, the early morning woods, the air was very fresh, the surrounding was green with water droplets, and it was refreshing to take a deep breath. Even more pleasing to my heart, the sound of birds finally came from above the trees, and it seemed that the animals that lived here knew better about the situation. Don't get close to thunder and lightning! Yesterday was a real experience for me!

A fire had risen in the middle of the tent, and Anadó was busy on a makeshift makeshift stove, a small steel basin on the stove was steaming, and the scent wafted from time to time, making people salivate.

Lantern Xiao squatted next to him, wiping his saliva and watching, and when he saw me coming, he immediately smiled, "Hey! What's the matter, let the scent wake up, right? What a time for you kid to get up! ”
