Chapter 188: The Victim

We were about to approach the boulder when Roy suddenly jumped out of the way, stopped us, and whispered, "Wait a minute! There seems to be someone up ahead! ”

We were taken aback and hurriedly stopped. Roy's senses are stronger than ours, able to see farther and more clearly than we do. Where we can't see, he can see. As soon as I heard him say that there seemed to be someone in front of me, I immediately remembered the tall and thin man found by the Beiluo Shimen, could it be him?

We hurriedly hid behind the tree and looked in the direction of the boulder. The fog was shrouded, there was no movement in the forest, and the boulder was quiet. From my vantage point, I couldn't see anything but a vague outline.

I wondered in my heart, it stands to reason that a large number of us came over in a big way, and the other party should have discovered us a long time ago. But he didn't come out, could it be that he wanted to play hide and seek with us?

The stalemate lasted for a long time, and neither side dared to act rashly. Roy said to me, "Road, let's go over and see who the other party is." ”

I nodded, clenching the magic knife. Roy flashed his sharp wolf claws, and walked around the tree towards the boulder. Behind him, Kaka and Wu Qingqing whispered: "Be careful, don't be reckless." ”

"Got it, don't worry!"

Roy and I flanked the stone in two directions, and as we walked in, I could see it clearly. It turned out that it was not actually a stone, but a pile of stones. These stones have traces of artificial carving, but it may be due to the age and severe wind erosion on the surface. Since this is the case, then it can be proved that Yang Guangtong is right, the gossip array here is artificially altered.

I looked up along the pile of rocks and saw a man sitting on it, reclining on the pile of rubble, motionless, as if asleep. Roy, who had been on guard, suddenly relaxed, exhaled and said to me, "Lu, it turned out to be a dead man!" ”

I couldn't help but exhale and relax, but I still wondered in my heart, how could there be dead people here?

The two of us went over to take a closer look, and found that the man had been dead for some time, and the whole person had rotted down to a skeleton. The clothes on it were also rotten, and they couldn't even be seen in their original appearance.

In the arms of this corpse, he still held an old-fashioned leather bag until this time, and he didn't know what precious things were inside, so that he held it in his arms before he died, and even merged with the leather bag.

Roy pulled out the leather bag, and the skin on the outside was already crumpled and shattered when touched. But fortunately, the contents inside are still intact, and when I pour it out, there is a rusty old battery-loaded flashlight inside, which has long been out of use. There is also a document, a notebook, a pencil head, a pen. A point-and-shoot camera rusted like a lump of iron, and three rolls of film.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

Roy and I were amazed to see these things, these things are not modern things, at least they are more than ten or even twenty years ago. Who the hell is this person and why did he die here?

"Here's a document, look at it, what's written on it?"

I took the document and took a look, and I was surprised that this person was actually from the Geological Survey. It is estimated that he came to explore, but he walked in this big array, and then he was trapped here.

At this time, the others saw that the two of us were fine, and they also came over, and when they saw that it was a dead man, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. I suddenly remembered something, handed the document to Liu Jiangtou, and asked, "Liu Jiangtou, look at this person, do you have any impression?" ”

Liu took his head, opened it and glanced at it, his hand shook, and he almost dropped the document on the ground. He said excitedly: "I know! This is the person my son brought with him back then. My son must be here, my son must be hereβ€”"

And so it was! I said, "Let's look around here and see if there are any other bones!" ”

So they parted and searched for it around the pile of rubble. After a while, Kaka's voice was heard: "Come here, they are here!" ”

When they heard this, they hurried over. I saw six corpses neatly stacked on a flat stone platform! All the bodies were lying flat on the ground, with their hands crossed on their chests, apparently placed here after death. All of them were rotting and only their bones were left, and their clothes were shattered at the slightest touch.

Liu looked at all the corpses carefully, and suddenly lay on the outermost corpse and began to cry, crying and shouting: "Son! You're hereβ€”"

When the little knife heard this, he suddenly couldn't help it, and knelt on the side and cried. We pulled up Liu's head and the knife with all our hands and asked, "Liu, do you see clearly, this is your son?" ”

Liu wiped his tears and said, "Can't be wrong! When I was a child, I set off a firecracker and blew off a part of my left ring finger, you see this, the finger is just one piece less, it's not who my son is! ”

I see. Unexpectedly, we didn't find the ginseng we wanted, but we found the team that disappeared that year. It's a pity that they were all trapped in this big array, and they didn't get out until they died, so they could only die miserably here.

It took us a long time to persuade the grandfather and grandson. After some deliberation, we plan to put the body here first, and when we return, we will take the body back for burial. Liu had no objections to the head and the knife, and they were just looking forward to finding the century-old wild ginseng as soon as possible, so that they could hurry back.

At the end, Xiao Daozi asked worriedly: "Big brother, do you think we will be like these people, and we will not be able to get out in the end and die in this?" ”

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yang is here, to ensure that we can get out safely." Although this formation is exquisite, Brother Yang is also a strange person who is familiar with Qimen Dunjia, and this formation is difficult for him. Didn't you see, we walked Mada just now, and he took us out! ”

The little knife listened and breathed a sigh of relief.

We laid out all the bodies, bowed, and decided to move on. Roy picked up the contents of the leather bag and took them all with him. In particular, the film case notebook, the things recorded in it may be useful to us.

The road below becomes more difficult to walk. In addition, it is getting late, and it is getting darker and darker. We had to turn on our flashlights and hold them close together so that we wouldn't get separated. Finally walked to a place and found that the terrain began to rise, Yang Guang said: "Great, we finally got out of the valley." Just climb up the hill to reach the back of the dragon. ”

Liu turned his head and said, "Okay, this place is quite dry, let's rest here tonight." Climb the mountain early tomorrow morning and try to finish it early! ”

When the crowd heard this, they cheered and began to set up tents.
