Embers Ad Infinitum

Remember [New] for a second,! Judging from the distribution and state of the pile of human bones in the soil, Long Yuehong is more inclined to the team leader's statement that the bones were collected and buried.

This can indeed rule out the possibility of survivors, because after many years, even if survivors do return to Linhe Village, they know that life is difficult and they cannot fail to take away useful materials.

They don't do this, and they will do the same if they find a wilderness wanderer here in the future.

So, who would have buried these villagers in the ancestral hall?

Shang Jian Yao held the engineer shovel and slapped his face:

"I know who it is!"

"Who?" Although Long Yuehong didn't expect to hear a normal answer from this guy, he still couldn't help but want to hear what "wonderful thoughts" the other party had.

This might give you some inspiration.

Shang Jianyao replied solemnly:

"Little Chong."

Without waiting for Jiang Baimian and others to question, he explained in detail:

"Didn't Xiaochong stay in the ruins of Swamp 1 for many years?

"He also has a group of 'Unintentional People' under him who often work for him, and it takes 20 to 30 minutes to drive to the ruins of Swamp 1.

"Will there be a day when he suddenly remembered the people in his hometown, and remembered that his bones were cold, but he had not been buried, which was not in line with the folk custom of burying in the earth, so he sent a large number of 'unintentional people' to bring him into bones. When the corpse comes over, he will be buried under the old locust tree, while the corpse will be collected by the villagers of Linhe Village and stuffed into the ancestral hall?"

This is really a pure ghost story. What does it mean to remember that your bones are cold and have not been buried yet... Uh, this feels a bit funny... Long Yuehong mumbled to herself.

He had to admit that the situation described by Shang Jianyao was really possible!

After all, Xiaochong cannot be treated as a normal person. It is highly probable that he is a personality or one of the incarnations split from the "Zhuang Sheng" of Zhisui, and he does have a precedent for driving the "unintentional" to work, and even makes those high-level "unintentional" work. The person" worked to support him.

Based on his relationship with Linhe Village, he accidentally remembered this place and sent his "subordinates" to let the people of his hometown settle into the ground for safety, which is a fairly reasonable development. .

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"It's quite possible.

"Well, because this is Xiaochong's hometown, those 'unintentional ones' are restrained, they don't take things indiscriminately, and they even bring their own dry food."

Papapa, Shang Jianyao let go of the hand holding the engineer shovel and applauded for himself.

The engineer shovel stood in the soil, unshakable.

Bai Chen also nodded slightly and said:

"Indeed, Xiao Chong has motivation and ability, and he lived very close to here before."

Jiang Baimian wanted to take a few steps back and forth, but he saw graves everywhere, and he would step on "others" if he was not careful, and gave up this plan.

[Recommendation, Mimi reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here and you can try it. 】

She thoughtfully said:

"But there are two problems, one is why the bones under the old locust tree are incomplete, and the other is why Xiaochong didn't bury himself in the ancestral hall."

"Maybe the old locust tree has a special meaning to him." Shang Jianyao looked like "I know Xiaochong very well".

"What's the point of it..." Long Yuehong muttered.

Bai Chen said "um":

"There are so many possibilities."

Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up, as if he had conceived a big drama of love and entanglement.

Jiang Baimian didn't give him a chance to play, he nodded slightly and said:

"What if it's not Xiao Chong, but the people who buried the remaining bones in the ruins of the Swamp No. 1 Ruins Laboratory?"

This obviously refers not to the three relic hunters, but to those behind the scenes.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong began to consider this possibility.

Jiang Baimian said to himself:

"They obviously have a certain understanding of Marsh No. 1 Ruins, or Dajiang City, and they know where the secret laboratory is, so it's not too strange to find Linhe Village here.

"Well, one year after the destruction of the old world, they took Du Shaochong's corpse into the depths of the swamp, came to Linhe Village, and buried it under the old locust tree. Take it apart, only half buried...

"Hehe, this reminds me of the technique of hating victory I said before.

"At the same time, it may be that they cooperated with the technique of hating victory, or it may have been ordered by a certain existence. These people gathered the bones of the villagers of Linhe Village and buried them in the Du's ancestral hall."

Long Yuehong recalled the experience of herself and others, and boldly guessed:

"They probably only buried half of it because they knew something was going to happen when they buried it all.

"However, before Qiao Chu came in, the ruins of Swamp No. 1 were not known at all..."

Jiang Baimian suddenly laughed:

"Qiao Chu knows this place because he belongs to the Eighth Research Institute.

"Those people may also have a certain relationship with the Eighth Research Institute."

She only said that there is a certain relationship, but did not mention those who might be the Eighth Academy, because according to the behavior of the Eighth Academy, they prefer to blow up the old locust tree, Linhe Village, and destroy the corpse rather than burying the bones. Everything that involves some truth in the old world.

"But why didn't those people collect some supplies?" Bai Chen objected.

Coming here from outside the swamp will definitely consume a lot of materials, and normal people will replenish some on the spot.

Shang Jianyao suppressed his voice and helped Jiang Baimian to answer:

"Because those materials are poisonous."

Everyone has a brain, why can you come up with such a strange answer? Long Yuehong didn't know what to say.

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"It's impossible to be poisonous, but this is Xiaochong's hometown, and the hometown of 'Zhuang Sheng' incarnated body. Even if they just take something casually, they will be afraid that they won't sleep well at night."

"They dared to take away the other half of the corpse." The honest Shang Jianyao pointed out the problem.

Jiang Baimian's thinking was quick and he answered immediately:

"Because they've been instructed to know that as long as the corpse is not left intact, nothing will happen, uh, it's limited to the corpse itself."

After listening to Bai Chen, he nodded thoughtfully:

"It's about two explanations."

One is what Xiaochong said, and the other is what the mastermind behind the scenes said.

Jiang Baimian looked around and gave the order:

"Although the times have changed, the sun and rain, and the possibility of traces remaining is extremely low, we still have to do our best, um, walk around, go in each room and simply search to see if we can get anything."

She was looking for traces of the burials.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Baimian added:

"This is Xiaochong's hometown, and a certain house here should belong to his grandparents' house or some other relative.

"There may be enough valuable clues hidden in it."

As for Xiaochong's own home, he most likely moved to Dajiang City, and then moved to Taicheng.

Hearing that the next main direction is to find the home of Xiaochong's grandparents, Shang Jianyao became excited, as if he was playing hide-and-seek with Xiaochong.

In this way, the "old tune group" wandered around the village, entering different houses, looking for possible clues.

It is a pity that over the past few decades, this area is often covered by wind, rain, snow, and many traces that should have been erased by time.

When it was almost noon, Shang Jianyao, who was always at the front of the team, pushed open the door of a house.

After entering the house, Jiang Baimian briefly checked it and said with a frown:

"It's not quite right here."

"What's wrong?" Long Yuehong didn't find the problem.

Jiang Baimian looked around again and said:

"Compared to other houses in the same village, there are a lot of things missing here.

"The shrine dedicated to the previous generation has no tablets, and the walls, coffee tables, and TV cabinets don't display family portraits or photos of certain people in the family like many others, and there is no place for words to be found at a glance... "

She simply picked out several things that were wrong.

Several members of the "Old Tune Team" immediately dispersed, and a team of two people carefully searched the first and second floors of the house.

They were unable to find out anything to prove the identity of the owner as they did in other houses in Linhe Village, and they were not even sure how many people there were in the family.

After meeting in the living room on the first floor, Shang Jian Yao raised his chin and said:

"There is no abnormality and no clues, it just means that this is the home of Xiaochong's grandparents."

"Someone deliberately erased the traces of Xiaochong's existence, so as not to let latecomers investigate related matters? This is a bit of the temperament of the Eighth Research Institute." Jiang Baimian's eyes turned slightly.

At this point, she is more and more inclined to the guess made by herself, compared to the claim that Xiaochong sent the "unintentional" to bury the villagers.

"It looks very similar." Both Long Yuehong and Bai Chen thought so.

Then, they left here and prepared to go to the surrounding houses.

When they went to the side, Jiang Baimian and others saw a painting on the wall of the house just now.

This painting has been very blurred by the sun and rain, and it can only be seen that it is a sea and a bird, and the style is very childish.

"A sea, a bird..." Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Shang Jianyao. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

She remembered that "Zhuang Sheng" had this dream recently.

...

After leaving Linhe Village, return to the camp.

Shang Jianyao snapped his right fist and gave his left palm:

"I'm going down the 'Soul Corridor'."

"You don't want to explore the dream of 'Zhuang Sheng'." Jiang Baimian hurriedly stopped him.

Shang Jianyao shook his head:

"No, I just want to see what's changed there.

"Then, go to Xiaochong's gap and try to wake him up."

"How to wake up?" Jiang Baimian asked with a frown.

"How can you be sure that Xiao Chong was awakened?" Long Yuehong was inexplicably frightened.

Shang Jianyao laughed:

"I'm going to play games by that gap!"
