The heavy rain lasted for nearly ten minutes and then gradually became smaller. Even though the downpour became smaller, it still didn't stop. But at least I can stand up now. Can't even leave.
The three of us barely supported our bodies and stood up. Everywhere in my body hurt. The rain was really extraordinary. I felt like I had been beaten up. "Oh my God." Oh my god, it hurts me so much. This rain can kill people."
"Yes, it has finally stopped, Jiao Ba, should we continue?" Chang Shan turned to him and asked. .
Jiao Ba lit up the flashlight, stared ahead and said, "We don't need to continue."
"What? Are you planning to go back?" I wiped the rain off my face and was all wet. It was so clear that when the breeze blew, my whole body shivered.
He suddenly laughed, "Hey, it seems that this heavy rain was not in vain. Look at the front."
I also turned on the flashlight and looked forward. When I saw the place where I dug the hole before, , suddenly our eyes lit up, and we immediately became energetic. What appeared in front of us was a large rectangular pit, which was obviously the place where the coffin was placed. It must have been caused by the heavy rain just now.
"Not bad, it saves our energy. It seems that the heavy rain was not in vain." Chang Shan also looked very excited.
“Let’s go over and have a look.” I waved my hand, and the three of us quickly walked to the side of the grave pit. We shined the flashlight from top to bottom, and it was less than three meters deep below. , there is a coffin. This coffin is not big. It is smaller than the coffin in the previous sunken ship. There is probably less than half a meter of space around the coffin, which should be able to accommodate one person.
"It seems that the pit is not really deep, only about three meters. I must have been in a hurry at the time." Chang Shan squatted at the entrance of the pit and looked inside.
"Okay, let's not waste time. Let's go down and have a look."
When I was about to leave, Jiao Ba grabbed me and said, "Don't go down yet. Let the corpse gas go out, otherwise I will be easily poisoned." ”
The three of us waited up there for another ten minutes. I said a little anxiously, "Okay? It's been more than half an hour, and we'll be there in less than an hour." Mr. Mai and I will have the best time. It's almost there, there's no time to delay.
"Okay, let's go down." Jiao Ba jumped directly first. He first jumped on the coffin lid, and then went down to the ground.
Chang Shan and I also hurried down. The three of us were on one side, and the space was just enough. I took a look with a flashlight first. The coffin was not black, but closer to red, but it was still It's not red, it's a bit like a combination of red and black, very special.
"The color of this coffin is very special. Maybe when you are alive, you will be a person with status." I wiped off the dust on the coffin lid with my hands.
Jiao Ba looked around the coffin and said without even raising his head, "You are wrong. This is a very ordinary coffin. Whether it is wood or size, it is very ordinary. "It's just that the color is a bit special."
"It looks like this coffin is quite old, and the surrounding area is almost corroded. I estimate it must be at least a hundred years old." Chang Shan was standing next to me, taking a picture. He touched the coffin lid and said.
"A hundred years ago? So, is it really possible that he was from the Ming Dynasty?" Chang Shan could say this, and I feel the same.
"Don't you two make assumptions? You'll know if you open it and take a look. Brother Yi, use a knife to remove the nails on the coffin lid. Let's prepare to open the coffin." Jiao Ba took out a sharp knife and started Lifting coffin nails.
Chang Shan and I also hurriedly started. The nails on this coffin are very long, but maybe because of the long time, it didn't take much effort to open one. It only took a few times to open one, and it didn't take ten minutes. Well, we just lifted all the nails in the coffin.
Jiao Ba glanced at us and said, "Come over to me. Let's push the lid of the coffin over. When the coffin is opened, remember not to breathe and hold your breath."
Chang Shan and I walked around to Jiao Ba, "Come on, get ready to push." Jiao Ba roared, and the three of us started to exert force at the same time. The lid of this coffin was not heavy at all, compared with the coffins of the two female corpses before. Guys, there's just so much difference.
We pushed the coffin lid open without much effort. When the coffin lid fell to the ground, the three of us quickly covered our mouths with our hands. I saw a black air coming out of the coffin. , but soon disappeared.
We held our breath for about a minute. I gestured to Jiao Ba and asked him how long he had to hold it in. Jiao Ba wanted to wait a little longer, but he had no choice but to continue holding his breath.
When it was almost two minutes, Chang Shan was the first to be unable to bear it any longer. He gasped loudly, "No...I can't do it anymore. I really...can't hold it in any longer."
Jiao Ba Then he exhaled, "It's okay, step brother, it's okay."
I let go Hou Song looked at him and said, "Damn, damn, you almost suffocated me to death. I think everything is fine."
Jiao Ba didn't say a word, and quickly picked up the flashlight to check the body inside. Walking slowly from head to foot, there is a male corpse inside. The corpse is not rotten.
Of course, it is impossible to compare with the previous female corpses of the Ming Dynasty. The two demon insect corpses can maintain their youth forever, but the muscles of this male corpse have atrophied, leaving only a wrinkled face. The skin looks like a mummy.
His face was a little deformed, his teeth were all protruding, his eyelids were squeezed together, his limbs were naturally bent, and his legs were like a toad, which looked very awkward.
The male corpse was wearing a hat on its head, and the clothes he was wearing were similar to a coat. They were slightly rotten, but not serious. From the appearance of the clothes, it was obvious that this was the dress of the Han people. , and it is still the costume of the ancients.
During the period of imperial rule, the costumes of other ethnic groups were very different from those of the Han people. However, I cannot yet tell which dynasty this body belongs to. After all, I am not an expert, unless it is from the Qing Dynasty. Clothes, I can tell at a glance.
Besides a rusty broken knife, there was nothing around the body. There was not even a quilt covering the body. It was so simple. No wonder Jiao Ba said that this coffin It's very ordinary. It's really too ordinary. It doesn't even have any burial objects.
"It's a male corpse. How come this corpse is so well preserved and not rotten?" Chang Shan gently pressed the corpse's arm with the back of his knife.
"Yes, it is quite well preserved. Brother Changshan, can you tell which dynasty he is from?" I glanced at him and asked.
"It should be from the Ming Dynasty? It looks very similar to me." Chang Shan didn't dare to make a conclusion and said something that blocked both ends.
“Not sure?” I asked again.
Chang Shan did not answer me, but asked Jiao Ba, "Jiao Ba, where do you think this body belongs to?"
Jiao Ba suddenly took a deep breath and turned his head. He looked at us and said, "You are right. This male corpse is from the Ming Dynasty. This is absolutely unmistakable."
"Are you so sure? I just made a wild guess." Chang Shan put on a very lucky expression.
"Of course." Jiao Ba then shined his flashlight on the corpse's head, and used a knife to gently lift off the hat on the corpse's head.
"Hey old man, what are you doing? We are not here to rob tombs. Don't mess around." This guy is worthy of being a tomb robber. How come he behaves like this everywhere and doesn't return empty-handed? .
"It's a shabby grave of a commoner. What can I steal? You have all seen it. There is nothing in this coffin except a useless broken knife. What do you want me to steal?" Huh?" Jiao Ba was a little unhappy and spoke forcefully.
"Then why are you picking off someone else's hat?" I pointed.
"It's because of this hat that I dare to conclude that he is from the Ming Dynasty. You see, this hat is called a scarf, which was commonly used in the Ming Dynasty. From this, it can be seen that he is 100% from the Ming Dynasty." Jiao Ba was very proud and seemed to have an evil smile on his face.
“Can you tell who he was in life? Was he an official or a commoner?” This is also very important.
"I can't tell. Anyone can wear the scarf, regardless of high or low, so I can't tell at all. Now I can only be sure that this male corpse is from the Ming Dynasty." Jiao Ba said calmly. said.
"If this is the case, then this is the next stop we are looking for." Chang Shan said a little surprised.
"Yes, it is definitely like this. I have suspected this island for a long time, and it seems to be true. It is definitely not a coincidence that we can land on this island. It has been arranged in advance. "After I finished speaking, I saw Jiao Ba using a knife to cut open the clothes of the corpse.
I said in disgust, "What the hell are you doing? How come I didn't know you were okay with this."
Jiao Ba said without raising his head, "He's doing business, look at what he's doing Damn it, what do you think I can do, rape a corpse? I really admire you."
I was speechless by what he said, and I felt that my thoughts just now were indeed quite dirty.
"What do you see?" Chang Shan asked.
“Look, there are many wounds on this man’s chest. The most serious one is this knife, which went straight into the heart. From this, we can infer that he was killed. This is because the body was not completely decomposed. , otherwise you won’t be able to tell at all,” Jiao Ba said with a stern expression as he retracted his sharp knife.
"Could it be that...there was really a war here before?" I feel like the answer is about to come out.
"It should be. Although a corpse can't prove anything, I feel it is very accurate. As for why this corpse does not rot, I think it has a lot to do with the geographical environment here. This small The island seems to have some kind of magic power." Jiao Ba casually put the clothes back on the body.
“I don’t know the magic power, but I feel that the strangeness of this island is real.” Chang Shan spoke and pointed upward with his index finger. Jiao Ba and I looked up along his hand, but when I saw it, I was immediately stunned. I stared at the sky with wide eyes. Looking up from the grave, I saw that it was still dark clouds. The sky over the densely populated islands has now turned red, not the red of burning clouds, but a blood red like blood.
