Chapter 165 Tree Burial and Crock Pot
Zhao Ganyu and Su Yueya still insisted on suspicion that Lao was secretly running away.
He Mingjie insisted that Lao Yu encountered an unexpected situation. Zhou Xun did not make a clear statement, but judging from the fact that he stole the notebook last night, he did not fully trust Lao Yu. According to what Zhou Xun said, Lao Yu could still recognize and interpret many languages, so he might know more content than Qiao Family Boat.
However, with He Mingjie's insistence, several people went out to search for each other.
This time Lin Baihua and Su Yueya are in the same group.
Because the two of them were going to take advantage of the others to see what was carved on the stones in the place where the tree was buried.
"Can you go faster?" Su Yueya was more anxious than Lin Baihua.
Lin Baihua glanced at her, but didn't say anything, and the speed under her feet did not change.
"Aren't you curious about what he carved?" After Su Yueya and Lin Baihua had a secret conversation in the woods that day, the relationship between the two eased a lot.
"I'm curious or not, I'll know when I see it later." Lin Baihua looked at the road, "It's not far."
The area where the tree burial was larger than they thought. They both found several trees nearby, with dead bones in the trees. Those bones had turned gray and black after being hit by wind and rain. If they didn't look carefully, they wouldn't notice them.
From a distance it looks like some scars from a tree.
There is a stone under the tree buried in each tree, and some tiles can be found. According to what He Mingjie and the others said, there are some customs in some places to put people in clay pots and bury them. The customs in different places are different, and Su Yueya understands this. But she doesn't understand why the corpses in the clay pots will eventually grow into the tree.
The custom of tree burial is found in many remote areas. They believe that trees can ascend to heaven and are also the origin of human beings. So the coffin will be placed on the tree. But if you want to bury a tree, why use clay pots in one go?
"These trees grew from corpses." Lin Baihua suddenly said.
"Ah?!" Su Yueya was frightened by what she said and almost screamed, "You, what did you say?"
Lin Baihua pointed to a large stone in front of her. The stone was relatively large and carved with more content than other stones: "It was carved on it."
According to Lin Baihua's translation, the stone carved is equivalent to an epitaph on a tombstone. This corpse was a miserable man who lost his father since childhood and lost his mother at the age of ten. Because of life difficulties, he followed the Qiao family boat to Yunxian Island and married a man named Qiao Lifan. He died of childbirth when he had a second son. In order to commemorate the suffering she suffered in this world, she was buried under the magnolia saplings. The magnolia tree was her favorite tree during her lifetime. Her husband and son erected a monument to commemorate it.
"What about the other stones carved?" Su Yueya hurriedly asked.
Lin Baihua looked around and told Su Yueya while translating: "It's all like this. These clay pots are used to accommodate corpses and saplings. So there are many trees in this forest, some of which are loved by the deceased during their lifetime, and some are to express hope in the next life. This willow tree is to communicate yin and yang and let her come back and take a look."
As he said that, Lin Baihua paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at the stone he had just seen: "Something was wrong. According to the tombstone, all the bones here are from women and children."
"Are you sure?" Su Yueya found a few more stones nearby, "Not here either?"
Lin Baihua looked at it and nodded surely: "No. They are all women and children."
"By the way!" Su Yueya understood, "Are the men all there and found that there were bones under the iron scimitar? In other words, the men and women and children here were buried separately."
Her analysis may be the only reasonable explanation.
Lin Baihua could not refute it, and nodded in agreement with Su Yueya's opinion.
"It's not easy for these people. They finally escape to the island." Su Yueya now felt that the bones were not that scary, "But where did that old Yu go? I just think he left by himself."
"When I followed the footprints to the stone circle, I found something wrong." Lin Baihua picked up a tiles and drew a circle on the ground. "The footprints were continuous at the beginning. They suddenly turned into jumping near the stone circle. And..."
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly heard a scream.
The sound is very familiar, as if it was made by Su Yueming nearby.
Lin Baihua stopped talking and rushed over to Su Yueming's scream.
Sometimes things happen like God is joking.
Su Yueming was chased by a group of porcupines and ran wildly. Wu Zihao next to her still couldn't save her.
Lin Baihua sighed: "Can you two save some trouble?"
Fortunately, there was only one porcupine this time. Lin Baihua took out a dagger, turned around, threw it, and inserted it steadily into the porcupine's eyes.
The four lung-breaking howls were shocked and the whole forest became restless. The porcupine ran around frantically, hitting the stone next to it, and died before struggling for a few seconds.
Only bright red blood was left flowing downwards.
"I said do Porcupine like you? Oh, it's Wu Zihao who likes you." Su Yueya couldn't help but argue.
Wu Zihao wanted to refute, but Su Yueming beside him was already scared. He was not scared by the porcupine, but Lin Baihua got the knife and got the porcupine so scared.
Lin Baihua muttered: "I'm very lucky today." In fact, she also tried it, but she didn't expect that she could really hit the porcupine's eyes.
If this whole big porcupine wants to move back, it requires four people to cooperate. Just as they are trying to lift the porcupine, Su Yueming sprained her ankle and threw it towards the porcupine.
Wu Zihao quickly reached out to grab Su Yueming, but the two of them hugged each other and fell on the porcupine.
"I'll seek justice for this porcupine. I'll be able to be purified even if I die. Get up quickly." Su Yueya had already made up her mind to stay in a stranger state with Su Yueming, and she became more natural when she was confronted.
However, Lin Baihua next to her reached out and pulled Su Yueming.
"Look at that side, is there a cave?" Su Yueming fell to the angle that just made her look out between the gaps between the trees.
Following the direction of her finger, Lin Baihua's expression suddenly changed.
That's not a cave.
It is the exit of the cave.
It was the other exit of the cave that they discovered under the stone bed last time.
However, it was too late to stop Su Yueming. She briskly got up from the porcupine and ignored Wu Zihao and ran towards the cave.
Su Yueming's sports are good, and Lin Baihua can barely catch up with her, but at this time Su Yueming had already reached the entrance of the cave.
"Wow, it's indeed a cave. There is such a magical place on this island." Su Yueming even planned to get into the cave.
Lin Baihua quietly raised the dagger behind her.
