When Dong Xiu was walking up the mountain from the south, he happened to meet Xin Meng and You Yi who were going down the mountain. Xin Meng was very surprised, "You are looking for us?"
First, he quickly glanced behind and around them, and then looked at the soil-covered shovel in You Yi's hand. Dong Xiu pretended to adjust his glasses casually, "It's okay, I'm just a little worried about you. People have been dying in the village recently, and I'm afraid something might happen to you. It’s best for you not to leave the team alone these days, but stay together so you can have support if something happens.”
To be honest, Xin Meng didn't believe a word Dong Xiu said. Would he be worried about them? And to put it nicely, if they are in danger, can he still think of supporting them? It would be nice if you don’t step on them and escape!
But Xin Meng didn't reveal it, "Are you the only one here? Where are Li Yougen and Xiong Jiabao?"
Dong Xiu sneered, "That guy is so eager to kill horses. He is sleeping soundly. Li Yougen and I came to see you. He has gone to Beishan."
Xin Meng nodded, "Then let's go back."
"Wait a minute," Dong Xiu said, "You just went up the mountain? Did you find anything?"
He looked at the shovel and said meaningfully, "If you find anything, it's better to tell it and let everyone analyze it. You might be able to find some details that you didn't pay attention to. What do you think?"
When Xin Meng saw that he had seen it, she had no intention of hiding it. To pass the level, she couldn't just rely on herself. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Three cobblers can still defeat Zhuge Liang. What's more, Dong Xiu is also very smart. He originally thought of going back to the village chief's house and calling everyone together to talk about it. But seeing that Dong Xiu didn't give up, he decided to talk about the tomb he just saw.
"I want to go up and have a look." Dong Xiu said after hearing this, "It's not far from here, right?"
Knowing that he didn't trust her, Xin Meng was not angry and said in a good-tempered manner, "It's not far, let's take you there."
So the three people returned to the unknown woman's grave.
Dong Xiu walked around the tomb bag five or six times, but couldn't see anything. He looked at You Yi again, "Can you lend me the shovel? I want to open it again and take a look."
Xin Meng frowned and hesitated. After all, digging up someone's grave is not a good thing, let alone doing it again and again. But You Yi had already thrown the shovel over, then pulled Xin Meng aside, folding his arms and looking at Dong Xiu. With an attitude of not helping at all, Dong Xiu saw them standing idly by and no matter how much he cursed in his heart, he had no choice but to shovel the soil himself.
A corner of the familiar coffin was exposed, and then the lid of the entire coffin. Pieces of soil were stuck to the light yellow wood grain, like old age spots or psoriasis that had not been cured for a long time. Xin Meng looked at those dark brown soil clods and appeared again. He felt that sense of disobedience, but couldn't catch the flash of inspiration. He kept staring at the coffin, but couldn't help but take two steps towards You Yi.
The short coffin was exposed again. Because You Yi had pried it once before and the nails embedded in it were also pulled out, so the lid and the coffin were separated. Dong Xiu pushed it lightly and the lid slipped off. Xin Meng was a little shadowed. , this time he deliberately hid behind You Yi and exposed his head to see that the skull was resting quietly on a pile of bones. The previous feeling of resentment and unwillingness did not appear again. Sure enough, it was his hallucination.
Dong Xiu was also a little embarrassed, but he still looked at the pile of bones carefully for a while and asked doubtfully, "Will it turn into bones in just one year? Is it too fast?"
Hearing his question, Xin Meng said uncertainly, "It seems that it is possible under certain conditions, such as high pressure or high fever..."
Dong Xiu sneered coldly, "This is not a volcano, where does the high pressure and heat come from?"
"Then the village chief and others lied?" Xin Meng asked, "Could it be that this body was not just dead for a year, but many years ago? But why? Why did they lie about the time?"
No matter how much I think about it, I have no solution, so I can only keep my doubts in my mind.
When she came here before, Xin Meng was always worried about whether the corpse was Qi Xiaokui. After she was sure it wasn't, she relaxed a little. She didn't look at many things carefully. Dong Xiu, aside from his character, also had great insight and analytical skills. It's amazing. Let him see the corpse this time. It's not without any benefit. At least he discovered many details that Xin Meng missed.
"Also, the contents of this coffin are also very strange," Dong Xiu pointed inside and said, "Didn't you notice that there is only a pile of bones in it?"
Xin Meng looked at the broken bones and then at the clean inside of the coffin. Her eyes suddenly widened, "That's right! It's so clean!"
Not to mention the clothes that the deceased should have worn - maybe the villagers didn't put them on her, but most importantly, there was not even a bit of rotten skin and muscle tissue in the coffin!
This was not buried directly under the earth, but placed in a sealed coffin. How could there not be those? How could it be so clean
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew from nowhere. Goosebumps stood up on Xin Meng's exposed arms. He felt a burst of coldness, which seemed to penetrate into the seams of people's bones, making people shiver. Shivering.
"What, what's going on..." Dong Xiu crossed his arms and shivered from the cold, "Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"
Xin Meng had a bad intuition. They might have triggered some flag, and something bad would happen soon!
Sure enough, the gust of wind not only did not pass, but became stronger and stronger. The howling cold wind blew the fallen leaves and dust into the sky, and soon a small tornado took shape. The front of the three people was blurred, and Xin Meng was blown away. He couldn't open his eyes, and small stones and leaves kept hitting his face, which made his skin hurt. After a while, he could hardly stand!
Just when he leaned to one side and was about to fall to the ground, his feet suddenly became empty, and then his whole body fell suddenly, and fell into the water with a pop!
The biting cold water quickly enveloped his body. Xin Meng was unprepared and choked on the water. What was even worse was that he couldn't swim at all!
He padded his limbs in panic, but it only made him sink faster. He didn't dare to open his eyes and struggled helplessly. The lack of oxygen made his lungs begin to hurt. The shadow of death quickly enveloped him. Xin Meng gradually He sank to the bottom of the water and was about to become the first player to drown in the game. However, just when he had fallen into despair, a strong arm stretched out, hugged his waist forcefully, and took him upstream. Xin Meng panicked and grabbed the man's body and clothes randomly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, followed the force upward, and finally broke out of the water. Xin Meng coughed violently, and her lungs were about to burst. It's a mess.
You Yi hugged Xin Meng, who was coughing non-stop and his whole body was separated, and held him in his arms. He smoothed away the wet hair covering his face with his hands, and wiped away the tears he coughed up with his thumb. His eyes were stained with water vapor, which was more like The pitiful baby animals make people feel soft just looking at them.
However, Xin Meng didn't feel that good. The feeling of drowning was too scary for a landlubber. He didn't even care to look at the person who saved him, and he had no time to observe the surrounding situation. His fingers were still dead. He clutched You Yi's clothes tightly, trembling all over and gasping for breath.
No matter what, the three of them were at least out of the water. Dong Xiu used to go to the gym and was very good at water. He surfaced earlier than You Yi who went down to rescue people. At this time, he was looking around.
"This is... a reservoir?!" Dong Xiu's face was full of disbelief and horror, "How did we get here suddenly!"
Thinking of the few people who died inexplicably in the reservoir before, it makes people's hair stand on end!
"Go quickly!" Dong Xiu shouted, "We must get out of here quickly!"
After saying that, he started to swim hard to the shore. Xin Meng also calmed down and was pulled by You Yi to swim to the shore. However, before swimming for a long time, Xin Meng felt as if his clothes were being pulled by something. , and actually held him back! He looked at You Yi in panic, only to find that he was also frowning and just treading water. He seemed to have encountered the same situation. Dong Xiu in front even shouted, "Who the hell is pulling me! Xin Meng, you …”
When Dong Xiu turned around and found that Xin Meng and You Yi were still some distance away from him, his voice suddenly stopped and his expression was extremely frightened! "What, what?"
He began to lower his head and look into the water, but saw nothing except the dark water. Xin Meng was behind him, looking at his head looking back and forth, and suddenly felt a very familiar feeling. He had seen it somewhere...
correct! He had indeed seen that when Wu Qiang and the three of them entered the reservoir to pull Wu Xiuzhi's body, they suddenly stopped and made such an action!
Xin Meng's heart was pounding. He thought that Wu Qiang and the others suddenly submerged under the water, and when they were pulled out, they turned into three corpses!
Could it be that they will do the same
How to do how to do…
Before Xin Meng could think of a way to escape from his chaotic thoughts, he felt his ankles seemed to be held by a pair of hands, and then a huge force pulled him out of the water!
Xin Meng didn't even have time to scream before he was pulled into the water again. Fortunately, he had held You Yi's hand before, giving him a little buffer. Plus, he had figured out what happened before and was a little more mentally prepared. , At least he didn't choke on the water this time. Xin Meng took a deep breath, sank into the water, and tried his best to open his eyes.
His eyes could only see a dark scene, and his ears could only hear the rumbling sound of water. The water surface seemed to be a space of its own. His hands were separated from You Yi, and the touch on his ankles disappeared without a trace. Xin Meng sank into the water, as if He is the only one left in the world...
He kept turning his head and looking around. The fear in his heart had almost reached its peak. Not to mention the unknown danger that was coming, the danger of being drowned at any time was imminent!
Soon, he saw a white dot appear under his feet, and then slowly grew larger, as if something had emerged from the bottom of the water and was swimming towards him. Before he could see clearly what it was, he saw something below. There were more and more white spots, getting bigger and bigger. When they finally reached the distance where Xin Meng could see clearly, Xin Meng's eyes widened in fear!
The pale naked flesh was like swarms of jellyfish in the sea, swarming towards him. Those equally pale faces, framed by two black patches without the whites of their eyes, were all staring straight at Xin Meng. They looked strange. The cracked corners of the mouth almost reached the base of the ears, with red gums without teeth inside. Xin Meng saw their lips constantly opening and closing, and they were actually saying silently: "Food, food..."
