1247 Chapter 1247-investigation
They talked and laughed along the way to the side of the cave.
There was a small stream beside the cave, and they stopped by the stream.
Gu Xin even asked Gu si if they wanted to go into the cave to take a look. Zheng Ling and Meng Yan had already been instructed by Gu si, so the three girls shook their heads and said that they would prepare food and let the two of them go alone.
Lu Zheng silently gave Gu si a thumbs up. His sister-in-law usually looked silly, but she would definitely not drop the ball at the critical moment.
Gu si returned a silly smile and called Zheng Ling and Meng Yan to pack up together.
Lu Zheng asked second white to look after Gu si and the rest in case there were any beasts while he pulled Gu Xin into the cave.
After the ice and snow melted, there was no trace of people or animals in the surroundings of the cave.
Lu Zheng observed carefully as he walked.
He didn’t think that Gu Xin was mistaken. He knew that this girl had good eyesight and could see things clearly from far away.
However, the melted snow was indeed hard to identify. He could only hope that he would be able to find some clues after entering the cave.
When they reached the entrance of the cave, Lu Zheng pulled Gu Xin behind him. He held his sword in one hand and held Gu Xin’s hand in the other. He used his sword to sweep away the sparse weeds at the entrance of the cave and opened up a path for Gu Xin.
This was the first time Gu Xin had entered a cave in her life. Back in the village, there had been caves in the back of the mountain, but she had never entered one. She had only dug up weeds for Gu Nian at the entrance of the cave.
The last time she and Lu Zheng fell off the cliff from Yuzhou village, the two of them only stood at the entrance of the cave and did not have the strength to walk into it.
There was a jar of water in the cave, and the stone at the top was still dripping. In this empty cave, the sound of water dripping was very clear.
The two of them stood by the water jar and could feel that the temperature was lower than outside.
Gu Xin looked around. I’m so curious. If I didn’t see a human or an animal that day, there wouldn’t even be animal feces here. Animals are also afraid of the cold in that World of Ice and snow. It’s quite clean here, and there’s not even dry grass for warmth!”
Lu Zheng furrowed his brows. He also felt that it was very strange.
Logically speaking, such a cave should not have been so neat and tidy, as if someone had deliberately cleaned it up. However, the environment that could be seen clearly at a glance did not seem like a place where people lived.
Lu Zheng pulled Gu Xin to the stone wall and knocked on it with his sword. After walking around, they did not find any secret passages or secret rooms.
Gu Xin suddenly pointed at a corner. brother Yuan Yuan! Look! Doesn’t that look like a bean made of sheep dung? ”
Lu Zheng pulled Gu Xin over and used his sword to pick up the small stone. There were indeed a few pieces of sheep’s poop inside, ” “Did someone not notice this corner when they were cleaning up?”
Gu Xin’s eyes lit up. brother Yuan Yuan, you also thought that I saw a human and not an animal, right? ”
“If he was a human, he would have to start a fire to keep himself warm during the snow-covered season before the new year.” But there’s no trace of a fire in the surroundings.”
Gu Xin guessed,’could it be that the person loves cleanliness so much that he cleaned this place up after the snow melted in the first month of the lunar year? This pile of sheep dung beans was in the corner, so maybe he had brought a sheep in and killed it when he was hungry? After he left the cave, he cleaned up the place and left it for people who would need it in the future!”
&Nbsp; ” you’re quite a clean freak yourself, ” Lu Zheng said with a smile. think about it, if you were that person, would you do so well? ”
