readx;? Wang Yunfei looked at the corpse for a long time, calmed down his fear, glanced at Hu Lin and said, "Brother Hu, it seems to be a dead man!"

Because of the distance from the dry corpse, although the light of the flashlight could shine on the dry corpse, Wang Yunfei could only tell that it was a person sitting and lying there. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info unlike Hu Lin, you can see everything clearly with your eyesight.

Hu Lin was afraid that Wang Yunfei would be afraid, so he said: "It seems to be a dead person, I'll go and see!"

Although Wang Yunfei was taken aback by this dead man, he was only startled! After judging that it was a dead man, he was no longer afraid! I don't know if it was because of his natural courage, or if he was not allergic to dead people, he actually came to the corpse first.

When I looked closer, I saw it clearly. From the bare and shriveled skin of the corpse, Wang Yunfei also saw that this was a dried corpse, so he said: "Brother Hu, this is a dried corpse, it is also strange that this cave environment can preserve the corpse from decay!"

Hu Lin also came over, and Wang Yunfei carefully observed the dried corpse.

The clothes worn by the dried corpses did not look like those worn by ancient people, nor were they modern clothes. Rather, it is a piece of thick fabric that resembles a trench coat. The style is close to modern -

There is a pocket on each side of the chest of the garment, a belt is tied at the waist of the abdomen, and there is a pocket under the belt.

The cadaver was dressed in such a garment, with a cool helmet on his head and a pair of riding boots on his feet, and sat against the wall, his head hanging down, one arm on his legs, and one hanging on the ground. A leather backpack with slanted shoulders, surrounded by a drooping arm.

Wang Yunfei squatted down, carefully looked at the appearance of the dried corpse, and said: "Brother Hu, this dried corpse does not seem to be Chinese, and there is still a figure-eight beard under the big nose." ”

Hu Lin did not watch the dried corpse like Wang Yunfei. Instead, he used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the environment near the dried corpse, and found an old-fashioned trekking pole lying next to an old-fashioned horse lantern! A small iron hammer used for surveying was thrown under the opposite rock wall not far from the corpse, and when I looked up along the iron hammer, I could see the traces of the rock wall being beaten by the iron hammer! In the distance, in a corner of the raised stone wall, there was also an old-fashioned canvas backpack with an old-fashioned military water bottle tied to it!

Seeing this, Hu Lin had a question, looking at this scene, it should be a foreigner who was exploring and suddenly died here! And judging from the clothes, this person should be a person who entered China to explore in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At that time, a wave of exploration was set off in the whole world, almost sweeping the whole world! And there were many people who came to China to explore and make a fortune, but most of these foreign expeditions were concentrated in the desert next door, and rarely appeared in this white mountain and black water!

Hu Lin thought, not only looking at the dried corpse. found that Wang Yunfei was about to use his hand to pick up the bag of the dried corpse-

Hu Lin sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped it in a loud voice and shouted: "Don't touch it, be careful of danger!"

Wang Yunfei's hand that had just stretched out stopped in an instant, and then quickly withdrew it! Turning his head and looking at Hu Lin suspiciously, he said, "What's wrong, Brother Hu, have you found anything wrong?"

When Hu Lin saw Wang Yunfei stop, he said, "There's a problem, you see—"

Hu Lin pointed to the trekking poles and lanterns on the ground.

Wang Yunfei saw the things on the ground and said in surprise: "This horse lantern should be old, and it can be worth a few dollars!"

After speaking, he got up and walked to the lantern, and was about to lift it.

Hu Lin said: "Don't move yet, it's not too late for us to analyze these things and then move them." ”

After being stopped by Hu Lin twice, Wang Yunfei felt Hu Lin's nervousness, so he asked Hu Lin, "Brother Hu, what do you want to say?"

Hu Lin said: "We don't know how deep this cave is. And just now we forgot to estimate how far we had gone because we were afraid of bats. But I feel like it's a long way from the cave we're in, and it's not a simple cave with murals painted on the rock walls. This man has been dead here for not a hundred years, but for ten years, and how did he die here!"

After speaking, Hu Lin looked at the dark depths of the cave, and then at the dried corpse and the horse lantern and trekking poles on the side, and continued: " If this person entered the cave alone, he should have been like us, after reading the mural, he wanted to carry the lantern and continue to go deeper, but he didn't know what he found, his lantern and his cane were so frightened that they landed at the same time, so he retreated to the rock wall and had no way back, perhaps out of self-defense, he took out the survey hammer he carried with him, and threw it at the thing, but it didn't hit, and the hammer fell to the ground after hitting the opposite rock wall. Therefore, I judged that this man must have been frightened before he died, and died a mysterious death without being able to effectively defend himself. ”

After listening to Hu Lin's analysis, Wang Yunfei looked at the distance between the location of several utensils and the dry corpse, thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "It must be like this, there are still traces left by hammers on the rock wall." It can be seen that when he threw the hammer, he hurriedly used a lot of force!"

"What could scare a solo explorer so much, and how did he die?" asked Wang Yunfei in confusion!

Hu Lin used his eyesight to look around again, and found nothing, but he always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching them in the depths of the cave, and there was not even a ghost in the place of his eyesight level!

Hu Lin looked at the trekking pole and didn't find anything unusual, so he reached out and picked it up, and found that the wood was good and it felt very good.

looked at the lantern again, also reached out to lift it, shook it in his hand, and found that there seemed to be a lot of oil in it, so he handed it to Wang Yunfei and said: "There seems to be a lot of oil in it, you can see if you can still use it!"

Wang Yunfei took it, blew a few breaths on the glass cover of the horse lamp, blew off the dust that had settled on it, wiped it with his hand, and observed it carefully.

After observing it for a few moments, he took out his handkerchief again, took out mineral water and poured it on the handkerchief, and wiped it against the old-fashioned horse lamp.

After wiping it a few times, Wang Yunfei became happy and said: "Brother Hu, this is copper, it is an object produced during the Qing Dynasty, there is really a lot of oil in it, after so many years, this oil has not volatilized, you can see how good the production process is, it is incomparable to modern fake and shoddy products."

While speaking, Wang Yunfei had already finished wiping the horse lantern, took out the lighter in his pocket, adjusted the wick of the horse lantern, opened the glass cover, pressed the lighter, and lit the horse lantern!

The whole cave immediately became much brighter again, because the light of the horse lantern was astigmatism, not as concentrated as the light of the flashlight, so all of a sudden, the oppressive feeling of darkness was immediately reduced a lot!

When Hu Lin saw that the lantern was lit, he came to the dry corpse with his cane, squatted down, picked off the cool helmet on the cadre's head with his cane, and saw the whole face of the dry corpse.

I saw that this dried corpse was indeed a foreigner from the West, although the skin was gray and shriveled, but the yellow hair and eyebrow beard, as well as the high nose bridge and eyebrow bones, all knew that this dried corpse was not an Oriental.

The corpse's expression was frightened, and his mouth opened sharply! The green tendons were exposed, and there was a stiffness that wanted to scream but did not scream.

In the open mouth, the teeth are complete. It can be seen that the deceased is still very young, no more than forty years old at most!

Looking closer, Hu Lin found a strange wound -

Just below the arteries in the neck tendons of the dried corpse, there were two small round holes that had dried up! This should be the fatal wound of the dried corpse.

So Hu Lin said: "This man has a wound on his neck, at the artery, he should have died of excessive blood loss!"

Wang Yunfei also came closer, carried a lantern, took a picture in front of the dried corpse, and said: "This is how he should die, if the brain loses blood supply for a few seconds, the person will go into shock, and he must have died like this!

Hu Lin looked at the rest of the body, and after confirming that the deceased was in this wound, he said to Wang Yunfei: "Now you can check his belongings and see if there is anything that can prove his identity!"

Wang Yunfei, a wealth fan, has long coveted the satchel on this dry corpse. Hearing that Hu Lin said that there was danger, he didn't dare to move, and now he let himself check it, so he quickly took off the satchel on the dry corpse, and it was not too dirty, opened the buckle of the leather bag, lifted the lid of the well-preserved leather bag, and with a "bang", all the contents were poured on the ground.

Unexpectedly, there are really a lot of things in this backpack -

Falling out of it were a copper-carved lighter, a tube of pens, a leather notebook, a pocket watch with a broken chain, a brown paper bag, a revolver, and a dozen scattered bullets.

Hu Lin looked at these things that fell on the ground, picked up the notebook directly, and found that it was preserved as before, very intact, so he opened it and looked at it-

As soon as I opened it, a yellowed black and white photo fell out of my notebook. Hu Lin picked up the photo and found that it was a family photo. An aristocratic woman dressed in English style sits on a chair carved in European style, and next to her stands a boy in a small tuxedo and a man dressed as a gentleman with a typical figure-eight long beard. The man is armed with a civilized stick, a top hat, and a serious face. The children and the woman were smiling and happy!

Hu Lin looked at the black-and-white image on the ancient photo paper, and then looked at the dried corpse that died on the side, and could vaguely distinguish that the dried corpse was the man in the photo.

Wang Yunfei was playing with the revolver, because the environment was dry, the pistol was well preserved, and it was the same as new.

Although Hu Lin liked firearms, he didn't bother to pay attention to this robbery at this time, and he put his energy back into this notebook.

The notebook is like a workbook, full of ticks and circles in English. There are also a lot of hand-drawn drawings and simple maps in it.

Although Hu Lin could understand some maps and English, he couldn't understand most things at all because of his weak English!

There were animals, plants, and many animals and humanoid monsters that he didn't recognize! These were not strange to him, but there were two things in the picture that caught his attention.

On one page, there was a drawing of something he was familiar with, a candlestick carved with a pattern of a kiss! And on another page, there was a butterfly, a butterfly covered with lines and patterns, and if you could draw a color, it must be a seven-colored butterfly.
