Chapter 119: White Bones
Lin Lin didn't have any psychological preparation at all, when he saw a white bone appear in front of him, his whole person suddenly jumped up in fright.

She carefully pulled her foot out, then walked around the hole and walked into the bedroom.
The sheets on the bed had been gnawed by insects, and only a few scattered rags remained. The skeleton put his hands on his knees in a meditative posture, presumably this person predicted in advance that his longevity was about to end, so he walked very calmly. Lin Lin is different from ordinary girls, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she has practiced courage all her life, and after the initial panic, she quickly calmed down. She stepped forward and looked at the skeleton, only to think that it seemed surprisingly small compared to ordinary people, closer to a child of twelve or thirteen years old. But judging from the degree of aging of the bones, it is indeed an old man who is dying. Judging from the proportions of hands and feet and body, it seems to be a little different from ordinary people, but more like a monkey.
"Monkey?" Lin Lin seemed to think of something, she looked at the white bone in front of her in shock, and in her mind connected it with the monkey trickster who left a mural in the room. If you live in an acrobatic family, it is natural that you may have developed deformities due to special training since childhood, and although I didn't pay attention to the murals before, but in retrospect, the monkey trickster himself looked like a monkey, with hands above the knees and a slight hunchback, perhaps it was precisely because of this that he was able to mingle with the monkeys so easily.
If the person in front of him was the monkey charmer, then this mysterious forest buried deep in the ground was the ideal pure land that he finally found without strife and plunder? But from all the way just now, Lin Lin felt that this place was lifeless, and there was no paradise at all, could it be that something happened in the middle of the way? Also, since this monkey trickster finally sat here, where did the group of monkeys who were inseparable from him go in the end?
Thinking of this, the face of the terrifying ape creature that had just attacked them inexplicably appeared in Lin Lin's mind. And in her heart, there was also a hint of ominous premonition.
Just as Lin Lin was thinking about the white bones in front of him, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the jungle outside the window. Lin Lin was suddenly overjoyed, thinking that Qiushui had found this place, so he hurriedly ran to the bedroom window, wiped off the thick dust on it, and then waved his hand and was about to shout, but suddenly found that the figure hurriedly passing by the branches of the tree actually showed a gray color under the fluorescence of the ground.
Lin Lin lowered her head and curled up in the corner, thinking to herself why she still encountered these monsters here, could it be that they had followed her all the way from the cave? Although now her strength has recovered most of it, and in such a wide place, she is not afraid of those monsters when she fights alone. But she always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this forest, and in such a strange place, it was better to be cautious and hide if she could.
However, things did not go as smoothly as she thought, perhaps attracted by the candlelight from the room, and the monster actually pushed the door open and entered inside. Listening to the creaking sound coming from downstairs, Lin Lin's nerves tensed all of a sudden. Judging from the density of the footsteps, it seems that there are more than one monster in the house, Lin Lin stood up and walked to the window, wanting to push open the window and then take the opportunity to escape outside, but saw that there were many gray-haired monsters around the house at some point, and there were no less than ten of them in a rough count, but fortunately, they were staring at the door with red eyes, and they didn't notice Lin Lin by the window.
"What should I do?" Lin Lin really has no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground. Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, it seemed that the monsters had reached the stairs and would soon be on the upper floor. If you fight them hard, you will have to kill so many monsters unless your strength is fully restored. Of course, it might be a lot easier if it was just to get out, but judging from the previous engagements, these monsters are quite agile despite their large size, and this place is not like the plains, where there are intertwined branches and vines everywhere, so it is obviously more advantageous for them in this kind of place.
At this time, a low roar came from the study outside, and it seemed that a monster had already arrived on it. Lin Lin was also determined, and was about to go out and fight with them, when suddenly a hand covered her mouth from behind and dragged her back.
With a "bang", the bedroom door was opened by a monster's punch, and broken wood chips flew out from above, scattering the white bones sitting on the bed at once. The monster walked into the bedroom with heavy steps, looked left and right, sniffed again, and put a puzzled expression on his face. To no avail, it turned and walked out the door. However, probably in order not to run in vain, it picked up a white bone that fell to the ground and played with it in its hand, making a "whine" sound in its mouth, which seemed to be very interesting.
"Qiushui, why are you here?" At this moment, the two of them were walking in a dark passage. Back to just now, Lin Lin was about to push the door out, but was pulled by Qiu Shui from behind. Qiushui shook her head, motioned for her not to speak yet, and then moved the closet at the head of the bed, only to see that there was a hole more than half a person high. Then, Qiushui took Lin Lin into the cave, and finally moved the wardrobe back as if nothing had happened.
In fact, Qiushui fell from a tree and thought he was going to die, but when he was close to the ground, he grabbed a thick vine that was dangling down, and he was lucky not to be injured. Then, he saw that there were traces of someone cleaning up on the side, and guessed that Lin Lin had entered the forest, so he followed those traces all the way. However, a large number of gray-haired monsters appeared out of nowhere on the way, and in order to avoid them, Qiushui inadvertently fell into a pit in the ground that was covered by grass and trees. Out of curiosity, he followed the passage inside, and came to the bedroom by mistake.
After Qiushui said that, Lin Lin remembered that one side of the hut was next to a sloping tree, and it seemed that this passage was connected to the hut and the ground through the trunk of the tree, but he didn't know what the purpose of the owner of the house was doing this. And Lin Lin also told Qiushui what she saw and thought in the house without reservation, and after listening to her description, Qiushui showed a thoughtful look. Unconsciously, the two of them came to the end of the passage, where was a room less than ten meters long and wide, with only a simple table and a square stool, and the table was lit with candles, emitting a faint yellow light, and the roof of the room did have signs of collapse, but it had been covered by some dead branches again by the autumn water.
"Come here, I'll show you something interesting. Qiushui took Lin Lin's hand and walked towards the table.
