Chapter 120: Corpse
The whole team carefully searched half of the village, and found that all the rooms were strange. Every room here, no matter the size or style, has no floor.
All rooms are filled with a cellar about two meters deep, in other words, all rooms are two meters below the floor. And in this cellar of each room, according to the size and area of the room, one to three coffins are placed, and in front of each coffin, a clay pot is also placed.
"Eryang, what does this mean, have you ever seen this kind of house? What is it for? Do the living live on top and the dead buried underneath? Stay alive and be buried? When Yang Lei saw the scene in front of him, he panicked and wanted to find a trace of comfort from Chen Ziyang.
"I've never seen anything like this, forget it, this thing is too evil, let's not touch it." Chen Ziyang also asked Wang Lele by the way, she also didn't know anything about these things, Chen Ziyang couldn't help but think that it would be good if Qin Liang was here, Qin Liang was also well-informed, if he was there, maybe he would see why, but unfortunately Qin Liang had already entered the crocodile's stomach.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Eastern Dynasty were focused on finding the coffin of the tomb owner, and no one jumped into the cellar of the house to open the coffins to see what was inside. In fact, these coffins are better, what makes Chen Ziyang feel most uncomfortable is the clay pots placed in front of those coffins, Chen Ziyang always feels that there seems to be something inside, and these things are very evil!
It was as if God wanted to confirm Chen Ziyang's thoughts. In the next room the team searched, a clay pot in front of a coffin turned out to be broken. Everyone saw a swarthy, shriveled human head through the cracks in the broken jars. The man's head was crumpled and seemed to have been dried for a long time, and the man's head was small, not much bigger than a grown man's fist.
When they first saw this little human head, everyone thought that this human head was carved out of wood, but then they saw the hair on the human head, such a delicate work, it can't be done by hand, those are indeed real hair, this is indeed a real human head, but I don't know if this person's head has grown so big, or what method was used to make this human head smaller after his death.
Looking at this shriveled human head, Chen Ziyang wondered if other clay pots were filled with this kind of human head, and whose human head was it? What does it have to do with the body in the coffin? Could it be that the bodies in the coffins were headless, and the heads were cut off and put into these jars, but what kind of local custom is this, and what role does this play? There is no record of such a head in the "Civil Engineers' Collection".
Just as Chen Ziyang was guessing, a soldier suddenly discovered something and shouted loudly for everyone to pass. Everyone ran over to see that in the area of this house, there were several houses back to back in a small square, this square was not large, only twenty or thirty square meters. But in this small square, there was a very terrifying scene.
I saw several corpses lying horizontally on this small square, each with a different shape, and all of them posed in very strange poses. There was a corpse sitting on the ground, and this person actually put his hand in his mouth, and there was a corpse with its entire head cracked, as if it had been hit by some heavy object, and the entire forehead bone of the whole head was shattered. There was also a corpse, holding a dagger in one hand, the dagger was inserted into his stomach, while the other hand was also inserted into his stomach from the wound, which looked very terrifying.
Although the corpses were of different shapes, one thing was the same, each corpse was swarthy and very dry, as if it had been burned to charcoal, and each corpse looked relatively thin, as if it had shrunk slightly from a normal person's corpse, just like the human head in the clay pot, but the corpses had not yet shrunk to that extent.
At this time, Chen Ziyang noticed that Wang Lele's eyes were attracted by one of the corpses, and when Wang Lele looked at the corpse, his eyes were full of puzzlement, and he actually had tears in his eyes.
The corpse is also in a strange posture, with one hand grasping the handle of the dagger and the other hand pressing the tip of the handle with the palm of the other. The blade of the dagger pierced the man's heart in its entirety.
No matter how Chen Ziyang looked at this person's posture, it didn't look like he wanted to pull out this dagger, but like he himself inserted the dagger into his heart, Chen Ziyang didn't know why he had such a strange idea, but when his eyes moved down and saw a white jade ring hanging on the chest of this corpse, Chen Ziyang guessed the identity of this person, and also understood why Wang Lele had such a big reaction.
Looking at the helmets scattered on the ground, as well as the tattered clothes on these people, Chen Ziyang guessed that this should be Zhang Tianhao's scientific expedition team who disappeared more than two years ago. And on the chest of this corpse, there was a saddle ring that was exactly the same as the white jade ring on Wang Lele's chest, and the two rings were exactly the same in terms of size and shape, and color. No need to ask, this person should be Zhang Tianhao.
Wang Lele was like crazy at this time, she couldn't control her emotions anymore, she rushed forward, hugged the corpse and cried loudly. Wang Lele's move came too suddenly, Chen Ziyang didn't expect her to be so impulsive, and didn't stop her in time, these corpses died so strangely, maybe there was something dangerous on the body, but Wang Lele couldn't care about it at all, so he pounced.
Wang Lele hugged Zhang Tianhao's corpse and cried bitterly, Chen Ziyang was nervous for a long time, carefully observed the surroundings, and after not finding anything dangerous, he also put his mind at ease, and finally helped Wang Lele find the corpse, it was not easy, and his task was completed.
Chen Ziyang, who was relieved, then suddenly thought, something is wrong, why are these corpses here? According to previous footage, they were killed outside the cemetery. There was a stone door that had not been opened, and a secret door under the corpse's coffin, and even more than two days away and the mountain stream that everyone had crossed this morning.
Why are the bodies of these people here? It doesn't make sense, they got here alive and then died? Or was something carried here after he died?
That's weird too!
