Chapter 42 Past and Future
As soon as the next day dawn, Zhao Ganyu took advantage of the three girls still relying on them to rest, so he checked the situation around him first.
They originally thought they had climbed to the top of the mountain, but they were not very familiar with the terrain of the mountain. But now Zhao Ganyu was sweating all over and gradually had bad ideas: they seemed to be no longer on the original island.
The mountains, stones and trees are different from the original ones.
Finally, Zhao Ganyu was asked to confirm that their location was different from the original one, and that he unexpectedly discovered on the island: a grave.
To be precise, a semi-open grave.
The rise in sea water caused by the tsunami is gradually fading. The grave is not far from the big stone, but they did not notice it last night because the grave was still below the sea level last night.
The land around the tomb is quite flat, with a flat stone that seems to be a tombstone, and there is a grave pit below it.
There was even a coffin in the grave pit. The lid of the coffin was soaked and beaten by sea water could no longer bear its weight and collapsed into the grave pit.
The strangest thing is that the tomb does not have the soil covered by the tomb. Zhao Ganyu judged from the traces around him that he had been maintaining this appearance for quite a long time.
Zhao Ganyu walked through the land soaked in the sea water, and walked to the tombstone deep and shallow. There were words on the tombstone, but they were just the word "Ghost Man" that Zhao Ganyu didn't know.
This grave... Zhao Ganyu was a little hesitant. Although the grave was not buried in the soil, there was a coffin.
"This...uh, I don't know if it's a gentleman or a lady? This ancestor, you don't remember the villain. Junior Zhao Ganyu has been unlucky here. Please give me a clear way." Zhao Ganyu didn't know what he thought, kowtowed to the owner of the tomb, and said hello.
Zhao Ganyu confirmed through the lid of the coffin: There were really dead people in the coffin.
This dead man probably has been dead for a long time, and he has only bones. His hair is like the zombies in the TV series. He is not wearing clothes from civilized society, but is sewn from several animal skins. But next to the dead man, there is a pair of glasses under a bottle. No matter how you look at it, they are all things from civilized society. There is also a book with its leather face next to the glasses.
Zhao Ganyu carefully pulled the notebook out. Unfortunately, the sea water soaked the coffin, and most of the handwriting on the notebook disappeared.
What attracted Zhao Ganyu's attention was the leather surface of the book. What was obvious was industrially processed items, and the connection was also made of metal parts, and a row of strange symbols were engraved on the leather surface.
After temporarily putting away the book, Zhao Ganyu planned to return to the top of the mountain.
Maybe after squatting for a long time, Zhao Ganyu felt dizzy when he stood up, and Venus appeared in front of him.
"I'll go, this is anemia. I have to find some blood-replenishing food." Zhao Ganyu barely stabilized his body. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was standing towards the top of the mountain.
There seemed to be a stable shadow in the sea water. Zhao Ganyu quickly took off his clothes and suffused into the sea water.
Sure enough, as he guessed, there was a waste house inside the sea. Although it was soaked in the sea, the overall structure was quite complete.
The very happy Zhao Ganyu immediately rushed back to the big stone and told everyone the news.
Just wait a little longer and wait until the sea water drops, and the house will be exposed.
There have been people living on this island! And this person has left traces of civilization. It is very likely that they are not far from being rescued.
Mi Xueling was so scared that she didn't dare to move when she saw the tombstone. Li Moxian was not much better. She hadn't eaten anything at all, and she was even more frightened when she saw the coffin.
"Take it off." Su Yueya flipped the coffin expressionlessly and pointed to the animal skin clothes on the dead man's body in the coffin.
She was right. Now that the materials are in short supply, I don’t know if I have the strength to hunt. I don’t even know whether there are any beasts on this island.
Mi Xueling and Li Moxian were obviously opposed, but they were not strong enough and were also afraid of Su Yueya. Seeing that Su Yueya seemed to have no intention of letting them do it, she silently hurried aside.
Zhao Ganyu's first reaction was that he felt that this woman was crazy, so why didn't he even let go of dead people? But looking at Su Yueya's serious expression, thinking that she would rather wear her coat for others last night, and she felt that Su Yueya might be a different person from her looks.
Zhao Ganyu helped Su Yueya clear the coffin. Although she took off her animal skin clothes and took away the notebook and some other objects, they helped the tomb owner repair the coffin board and covered him with soil.
"Oh, I don't know who buried this person, so I didn't bury him anymore. It's also a pitiful person." Mi Xueling still had some strength and came to help.
Her words woke Zhao Ganyu up: "No, something is wrong."
"What's wrong? Don't scare us!" Su Yueya was removing the animal skin clothes on the side - there were four of them, and no one could monopolize them. It would be better to take them apart. At least three girls can cover them.
Zhao Ganyu sighed: "I know why this coffin has not been covered. Look, there are no traces of nailing the coffin, it is simply covered. This means that this person crawled into the coffin by himself."
"Ah?" Li Moxian seemed to have heard some fantasy, "Why?"
"Because no one can bury him." Zhao Ganyu sighed again, "He must know that he is the only person on this island. I'm afraid this was the tomb he dug for himself."
After Zhao Ganyu finished speaking, no one spoke. They all fell silent. Li Moxian wiped his tears: "I don't know if we're dead..."
"Shut up!" Su Yueya glared at her fiercely, "What are you talking nonsense!"
"Okay, let's change the topic." Zhao Ganyu clapped his hands. They had filled the grave. "I tried the lighter just now. It can still be used, but the firepower is not strong. We are going to collect some dryer wood now. Su Yueya, come with me. Mi Xueling and Li Moxian are responsible for picking some wild fruits."
Zhao Ganyu actually didn't want to act with Su Yueya, but she was a little better among the three girls.
"Ah!" Su Yueya was shocked and suddenly this problem was something that Zhao Ganyu didn't like.
Su Yueya sprained her ankle and fell towards Zhao Ganyu.
"I'll go. Su Yueya, don't mess with me again!" Zhao Ganyu was afraid of these women who took the initiative to make trouble now.
"I'm really heartless. You can't help me even if you are sick. I seem to have stepped on something soft." Su Yueya didn't mean to mess around this time. She is not interested in men for the time being, but only in food.
