188 Village down

readx;? They saw a village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoA deserted, dilapidated hamlet with only a few old thatched huts crumbling in the breeze.

Everyone looked at each other in amazement, how could there still be human habitation in such a place, and what did they live on? The first two questions lingered in everyone's minds, after all, it was too unreasonable for such a village to appear in such a place.

After a brief discussion, Vincent decided to head to the village to find out. So after a short period of repair, the group set off again. This time it didn't take long for them to enter the village.

The village is so lonely that it seems to have been abandoned, and there is no trace of human existence. The walls of the thatched huts were already covered with dense cracks, as if they could completely collapse with a gentle push of the hand.

Perhaps the only trace of human existence in this village is the path underfoot. A winding path of sheep intestines, tenaciously shuttling through the weeds, leads to one house after another. As you can imagine, many, many years ago, people walked around on this weed, and walked out of a trail alive, and even after many years, this trail still hasn't disappeared. Although the people who walked out of the trail have disappeared.

Thinking of this, Ian was suddenly stunned.

For some reason, the moment he stepped into this village, he subconsciously thought that there was no one living in this village anymore. However, they have yet to find clear evidence that the village has been abandoned. He didn't know why he felt this way, as if he knew it from the beginning.

Ian thought to himself, maybe the village had presented everything, like a dead man.

Vincent told the group to wait outside, and then let a few of the crew into the house, and he also went into the nearest room. A few minutes later, the crew came out one after another, all spreading their hands, saying that there was no one living in it, and the house had been abandoned for a long time.

Vincent was the last to come out, carrying a dusty iron pot in his hand.

"There's a problem. Vincent looked at the crowd, waved the iron pot in his hand, and said, "The people who once lived here were not aborigines, but outsiders like us. After all, it doesn't look like there is an iron mine on this island, and this pot was brought from outside. ā€

"Brought from outside?" the first mate was stunned, "Has anyone else landed on this island besides us?"

Before the first mate's voice fell, he remembered something again, and exclaimed, "Could it be that the first Sophia?, the people who came with Captain Sophia?!"

"Now it seems that eighty percent is. Vincent tapped the iron pot and said, "It looks like it has been abandoned for at least forty years, which means that not everyone returned to the port of Sophia, but many people were left behind, and those who tried to survive on the island and try to reproduce, but failed." ā€

Vincent's words made everyone's hearts much heavier.

Everyone in Port Sophia knows that Port Sophia is because the first lord of the city found a treasure on the island of legends and used the treasure to develop Port Sophia. But now it seems that history is not just a treasure hunt, and then it is as simple as development. This village is the most naked evidence, someone was left behind, and then forever left on this isolated island.

Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere became extremely heavy. Maybe everyone is wondering why those people stayed in the first place, and at the same time worrying, will there be some people among them who will be left behind?

"Well, anyway, the location of the accommodation has been found. Vincent began, "Rest in this house, and be on your way to-morrow." ā€

The people agreed, and the team disbanded on the spot. Ian, Tim, Newman, and Merial were four travelers into a room. The house had only two small rooms, and a kitchen, which of course had not been used for many years. Both the kitchen counter and the bed were covered with a thick layer of dust, and Ian covered his nose to sweep the dust away and make room for his luggage.

"Hey, Ian. Tim made his bed and asked, "Where did you say all these people went?"

"Who?"

"It's the people who lived here before. Tim pointed to his feet and said, "If it's dead, the body should be there." ā€

"I'm buried, maybe there's a cemetery nearby. Ian said disapprovingly, "You're dead on the streets, huh?"

"I didn't mean that, I mean, there are always people who haven't been buried. Tim looked into Ian's eyes and said, "Because, if there's one last person left, who can bury him?"

Ian froze.

"Also, don't you think it's strange to look at the stuff here?" Tim said, gesturing to the neatly arranged pots and pans in the kitchen, but long since they were buried in the dust, "everything here is all cleaned up." ā€

"What do you want to say?"

"I suppose that if those people really died one by one, then how long did the last one live?" Tim said softly, "think about it, the whole village, no, the whole island is left alone. He can come and go as he pleases the house here, and he can take anything in the house. But it didn't make sense, because he was the only one, so he packed everything up like the people had just left, and then"

Tim didn't finish, but Ian had already guessed what he wanted to say. There really seemed to be a figure in front of him, shuttling back and forth in this small village, eating alone, sleeping alone, and spending the day alone. Day and night, until a man dies. Even the body could not be buried.

This conjecture gave Ian a chill in his heart, if there really was such a person, then how lonely should he be?

"Now, Ian. Tim whispered again, "I suddenly, suddenly wanted to go back. ā€

"Go back?"

"Well, I want to see my butcher's father's grave. Tim glanced out the window, but Ian still saw the mist in his eyes, "I guess he's lonely too, when he dies." ā€

Ian didn't know how to answer. At this moment, a heart-rending scream suddenly came from the next room, breaking the silence of the village in an instant.

Ian and Tim froze, and soon they heard that it was Merial's voice.
