Chapter 49: The Muzzle
Chen Bofu's grave is only about forty meters away from Chen Jing, maybe Chen Jing was still a little short-sighted in the past, but after transforming into an old descendant, his eyesight in both eyes is more than a little better than that of a normal person......
But even so, he couldn't see where his grandfather's grave was.
"This ......"
Chen Jing ran back to the road he had come, and carefully searched for the location where Chen Bofu's grave was before...... Nothing.
There is only tamped loess everywhere.
Tombstones, grave bags.
Even the footprints that had been stepped on by Bai Aji disappeared with them.
As if nothing before existed.
"Could it be that this is the old man's method......" Chen Jing muttered, his face full of confusion, "Can you hide it by burying that iron box back......
Chen Jing stood motionless at the location where the original tomb was, letting the cold wind howling in the mountains blow wantonly.
It was almost ten minutes before he turned and left.
This means......
How did the old man come out?
He should have been in the real world all the time, there was no old people in this place, and those strange things couldn't exist in the real world.
So how did the grave disappear??
Chen Jing couldn't figure it out.
But he vaguely felt that if he went to the study of the old mansion and had a look, maybe everything would have an answer.
Chen Bofu is not the kind of person who likes to be untargeted.
Since the old man chose to put the study key in the tin box, and also put it with the camera that recorded the secret, it is enough to explain ......
In the study, there may really be some secrets.

On the way back to the old house, the light curtain in front of Chen Jing's eyes kept on.
He wanted to find out what Baiaji's abilities were...... This is also the point that he has been ignoring before.
However, it is a pity that the amount of information on the light curtain is very limited, and it is only suggested that Baiaji is an undead creature.
Even if Baiaji is killed by the enemy and completely destroyed, he will be reborn after twenty-four hours.
As for whether Bai Aji has other skills, it is not stated on the light curtain.
But in reality......
Chen Jing was able to determine that Bai Aji had an extremely high IQ.
I can hear what I say in my heart, I can fly, I can run, I can become a little black water......
But Chen Jing hasn't seen other abilities yet.
"It's going to rain again......"
Walking on the old road in the mountains, Chen Jing looked up at the sky that was gradually swallowed up by dark clouds.
Although he had only been in the inner world for ten days before, he was still a little unaccustomed to the speed of climate change when he came back coldly.
It was so hot and stuffy before.
But that's just a matter of a few tens of minutes.
After the dark clouds appeared, the temperature in the mountains began to drop rapidly, and even the wind began to be a little biting cold.
Judging from the experience he accumulated in the mountains as a child, there is a good chance that it will rain heavily......
"It's time to go faster......"
Chen Jing took a deep breath, carried his backpack and began to speed up his pace, rushing straight to the direction of the village.

[Countdown to return to the examination room: 239 hours, 15 minutes and 21 seconds]

The village where Chen Jing and his family live is called Whistle Village, which is also derived from the nearby "Sentinel Ridge".
"It's back......"
Standing at the entrance of the village, Chen Jing couldn't help but stop, looking at the entire village with a complicated expression.
It was not the same village as he remembered.
More desolate, more dilapidated.
In fact, the whistle village has never been rich.
You can get a glimpse of these ruins and ruins.
The quality of most self-built houses is not as good as that of nearby villages with tourist resources.
At present, more than half of the whistle village is still the kind of gray and old brick houses.
On the exterior walls of these dilapidated houses, a circle of rusty iron sheets with various advertisements printed on them is nailed, and the wind will rattle when it blows.
In Chen Jing's memory.
There were about 100 families living here.
But just after the turn of the millennium, the families who could move away began to move away.
The young people in the village chose to work in the city.
Once they have established themselves in the city and have a stable job and financial resources, these young people will choose to move out of the city with their families.
Until the end, only Chen Jing's family was left here.
"This place is so deserted that it's almost unrecognizable......" Chen Jing sighed and continued to walk forward.
Chen Jing's house was in the deepest part of the whistle village, and he walked along the old road for almost ten minutes before reaching the halfway point of the mountain.
Raindrops had begun to fall in the foggy sky, and the humid air made him feel cold.
Chen Jing couldn't help but put on a hood that was tied to his backpack.
The air was filled with the smell of rain soaking into the soil.
Soon.
He stopped outside the gate of the old mansion halfway up the mountain.
Looking at the brick house in front of him, which had been eroded by the humid climate in the mountains, Chen Jing only felt a little unspeakably strange.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Chen Jing opened his mouth and took a breath of hot air on his hands, and then pushed open the rusty red iron door outside the courtyard without hesitation.
Squeak.
The leg-high weeds were bent by the iron gate.
The melted rust and the warped patent leather mixed with the rain, staining Chen Jing's hands as rusty red as blood, and even had an unpleasant smell of iron like blood.
The security door of the house in the courtyard is still pasted with couplets from a few years ago.
The word Fu is gone.
It must have fallen to the ground and blown away by the wind at some point.
"The old man is lazy enough......"
Chen Jing fumbled for the key in his backpack.
Standing in front of the security door, Chen Jing glanced left and right at the overgrown courtyard and sighed.
"This place is for outsiders to see...... I guess it has been abandoned for several years...... I'm going to clean up after that......"
As he spoke, Chen Jing inserted the key into the lock hole and gently opened the rusty security door.
But before he could pull the door open completely, the opening stopped very abruptly.
Because he felt as if his head was being pressed against something......
Cold hard, coarse.
It only took one moment to break his head.
"That's big enough......"
Chen Jing looked at the muzzle of the black hole in front of him in confusion, and then looked at the person standing in the door.
"It's all about guns in burglaries now?"
