The bones that suddenly appeared in the hole was something Wu Ji and I did not expect.

Furthermore, according to our deductions, it is extremely possible that this would happen in time for those knowledgeable youths who had entered the Xiao Xi Kou back then and have never left it.

However, even if it was a youth who knew, or one of the villagers who followed them in, who was the one who buried this corpse here?

"There seems to be more there." I held onto the electric light and saw that there seemed to be something above the skull. I immediately pointed it out for Wu Ji to see.

Hearing this, he stepped forward and used his hands to pluck at it.

"What is it?" Noticing the frown on his forehead, Zhang Xuan hurriedly asked.

Wu Ji did not say anything. Instead, he picked up the Luoyang Shovel and continued to dig on top of the skeleton skull.

At first I didn't understand why he wanted to continue digging. It was a waste of effort.

But soon I understood what he was trying to do.

Because just above the bones we found, we quickly dug up another one!

Just like the first set of bones, it was now in perfect condition, with no clues left behind.

"Why are there two sets of bones!" At the same time that I was astonished, I felt that something was amiss.

Moreover, if an average person wanted to bury two corpses, they would dig a wider pit and place the two corpses side by side. Even if they had to deal with tasks, they would dig a deep pit and put the two corpses in it.

However, these two corpses were unexpectedly placed side by side, with a distance of only a few centimeters between them. If there was flesh and shoes on the corpses at that time, then they would have been placed on top of the heads of the next corpses!

Doing so would be disrespecting the deceased!

I voiced my doubt, and Wu Ji said that he was also considering this question.

And the point is, what is the real point of this?

"Could it be that the two of them didn't fight when they were alive, so they had to step on the other person's head when they die?" I guess.

Wu Ji poked around a few more times beside the two bones and said at the same time: "After these people entered the Xiao Xi Kou, they were unable to leave, so they must have encountered something. And these things put them at risk. Under these circumstances, those people should no longer be in the mood to scheme and compete in status. "

Let me think, I think that what he said makes sense. It was originally just a whim, so I didn't continue to ponder over this issue. But what is the purpose of these people burying themselves like this?

"According to your deduction, these people are all about to die. Isn't it a little too strange that they can dig and bury corpses so calmly? We should be looking for a way out in this situation."

I was a little dizzy from being coiled up by these two white bones. What happened in front of our eyes made us a little confused.

And Wu Ji, after being silent for a while, suddenly said: "Perhaps there will be more on this second set of bones!"

His words made me shudder.

Just as he finished speaking, Wu Ji did what he was told, he swung the Luoyang Shovel and started digging again.

After a while, there was indeed a third bone that was caught by him!

The two sets of bones are a coincidence. We can use all sorts of assumptions to infer that, but this is a straight line connecting the three White Bones to Liancheng. This kind of strange situation is not something that we can simply look at.

"It looks like a metal brooch." In the light of the flashlight, I saw something round but rusted beneath the ribs of the third white bone.

Wu Ji stepped forward and pulled the thing out.

It had a diameter of about three to five centimeters. Its surface was covered with patches of rust and was extremely rotten.

I took it in my hand and looked at it carefully. I saw that there was a pin on the back of the object.

"There's no need to look." Wu Ji did not mind the brooch at all.

I asked him if he could see what it was, and he found something rusty near the shoulder bone of the third bone, but it was clearly the shape of a pentagram.

I know what it is, even without him saying it.

In that revolutionary era, everyone wore their chairman's badge on their chests to honor this pentagram. These things were extremely precious in that era. Whoever carried these things on their person would cause others to drool in envy.

This small badge was much more precious than any other jewelry or accessories!

The discovery of these two things could also be confirmed; these were definitely the people who knew about the people who broke into the Xiao Xi Kou back then!

However, he did not know the identity of this third white bone. It might be a simple matter for it to be known in this remote village, and it might even be able to wear an insignia or a pentagram.

Just as I was researching the badge, Wu Ji continued to dig, and as expected, discovered the fourth white bone!

Just how many more bodies were buried here, and who was the person who buried them?

Wu Ji looked like he was about to gamble his last breath as he wiped off the sweat on his head and continued to dig. In the end, he found a total of seven sets of bones, and he refined all the bones into a straight line.

It must be because someone was holding onto his goal!

"Back then, in the first batch of young villagers, there were a total of six people who entered Xiao Xi Kou. Two days later, the village chief brought six more people to look for people. In the end, the last six people disappeared from the first group, and the second group, other than Wang Kuisheng who mysteriously disappeared while chasing after a rabbit, there was also the village chief and a single arm Ah San who went with a villager. The other two people each went their own ways. "

Remembering the clues I had gotten from the village, I slowly extrapolated.

Wu Ji continued to speak: "A total of twelve people, aside from the village chief, Ah San, Wang Kuisheng and another villager, only eight people disappeared from the Xiao Xi Kou. And there are seven skeletons here. "

Could it be that the eighth person had buried these seven corpses?

And Wu Ji said that it was possible, but whether these seven people were killed by the things in the Xiao Xi Kou or by other means of death was something to be tested for, because on the surface of the bones, there were no fatal injuries. Thus, there was no way to deduce the reason.

Two groups of people entered the Xiao Xi Kou separately. Could it be that the two villagers who entered the Xiao Xi Kou in the second wave found the six youngsters?

I speculated on all sorts of possibilities, but none of them fit perfectly.

During this time, Wu Ji jumped back into the pit of bones. After confirming that there was no eighth set of bones on either side, he started to carefully inspect the first set of bones.

Moreover, he had picked up all the white bones from the pit, but he did not know what his goal was.

I stood at the edge of the pit, watching, and I wanted to help, but I really had to reach out and pick up the bones, and I didn't think I was that bold.

The night air was chilly, and I tightened my coat and looked around, fearing something might pop up.

Fortunately, the surroundings were still very quiet.

I was a little flustered by myself, and tried to find words to ask Wu Ji, why did I dream about that just now, and why was I able to find this place in the dream, it couldn't be a coincidence, right?

Wu Ji didn't even look at me, and said indifferently: "It should be that person who gave you a dream, he wanted us to discover this place."

"Why? He has already buried himself to the ground, could it be that he wants us to take him away from the Xiao Xi Kou? " I wondered.

Anyone who died would not want their corpse to be dug up.

Wu Ji checked until the seventh sword, and said that if he wasn't mistaken, these seven people were still alive when they were buried.

"You mean buried alive?" I was surprised.

Wu Ji nodded.

"Why would you do that? This is not an ancient tomb's burial pit, and when these people died, it was already the seventies, how could anyone do such a thing! " I can't quite believe it.

For one thing, it was too horrible. Seven living people were buried alive, and in modern times, it sounded like nonsense.

But when Wu Ji said that he found out that there were seven white bones here, and that they were all buried in a straight line, he felt that something was amiss, and had already suspected that there was something fishy going on.

Just now, when he examined the bones, he found a problem. This problem was the basis for his deduction that these people were buried alive.

"What's the problem?" I couldn't help but ask.
