Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

The further we walked, the more obvious the laughter became.

It definitely sounded like someone having fun and lots of it!

Could it be a giant salamander?Lin Ran was guessing in his mind.

As long as it doesn't appear, this sound will not affect their exploration.

After walking for a few minutes, the end of the corridor appeared in front of us.

However, when the flashlight shone on it, even the materialist Lin Ran was shocked.

Because, at the entrance of the corridor, there were four children standing.

About 1.2 meters in height, the boy has long hair and the girl has whip hair. They are both wearing red clothes and have shiny black hair.

However, the four of them had their backs to the corridor.

And the sound came from right next to them.

The appearance of this scene caused the flashlight in Lin Ran's hand to fall to the ground, and Xu Ning hugged Liu Jingfeng and shouted loudly.

"Ghost!"

Everyone was terrified, but nothing else happened except panic.

Lin Ran was the first to come to his senses, picked up the flashlight from the ground, and continued to shine it.

The four children still didn't move, but strange sounds still came from them.

"Jinpeng, let's go over and take a look?" Lin Ran suggested.

Wang Jinpeng's lips turned pale with fright. He usually said he wasn't afraid of ghosts, but when he actually saw one, he was still frightened.

But he swallowed, picked up the machete with trembling hands, and nodded to Lin Ran.

Xu Ning was hopeless. Even if Liu Jingfeng wanted to appease him, there was no way he could come to help.

Lin Ran and Wang Jinpeng, one on the left and one on the right, holding a dagger and machete in one hand and a flashlight in the other, gradually approached the kid.

As long as they make moves, fight them.

As they got closer, the laughter died away and was replaced by a high-pitched cry that seemed angry.

The closer Lin Ran got to the child, the stranger he felt.

Because the light of the flashlight shone on them, it turned out to be blurry.

Is there really a ghost?

Lin Ran didn't dare to move forward anymore, but Wang Jinpeng mustered up the courage, picked up the knife and jumped in front of the children.

Judging from his pale face, he must have seen something terrible.

Wang Jinpeng spent a lot of effort to stabilize his emotions and whispered: "It's not ghosts, just four corpses."

Hearing this, Lin Ran also walked to his side.

When he got closer to the children, Lin Ran understood why there was a halo. It turned out that their bodies were covered with wax.

No, rather, they were sealed in wax.

The four children all had their eyes closed, and there were black marks on the corners of their mouths.

But because it was sealed in wax, it has not rotted so far.

Although it was not a ghost, the impact on Lin Ran was no less than the fear brought by ghosts.

Such a young child was used as a burial object. The difference between ancient emperors and ghosts was that he was alive.

But how can a wax figure cry?

Lin Ran heard the sound more clearly at this time. Since he was standing in front of the corpse, he could be sure that the sound did not come from the corpse.

He shined a flashlight to the side.

I saw some insects densely scattered on the wall, which looked a bit like cockroaches. The sound came from their position.

After being illuminated by the flashlight, the bugs seemed to be frightened and fled in all directions!

The sound became disjointed.

Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they happened to encounter a bug party. The reason for the party was not explained.

"It's okay, come here." Lin Ran smiled and waved to Liu Jingfeng and Xu Ning.

Wait for them to come over and explain the specific situation to them.

"These children were probably killed alive, and then their bodies were soaked in wax water. After solidification, the excess wax on the surface was removed, leaving only the wax film. The cold environment here is why their bodies were preserved like this. intact."

"And the cry just now was from a special kind of bug. After we go out, maybe we can make some for the Biological Museum to enrich their research." Lin Ran smiled.

In nature, arthropods are the most numerous and are not completely controlled by humans.

The one they encountered just now was one of them. The rumors of hauntings were not groundless, but just a combination of various phenomena that were misunderstood by people.

After Lin Ran's explanation, their fears were finally eliminated.

Although corpses are frightening, they are also commonplace for local masters.

"It really scared me to death." Xu Ning breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling all the adrenaline bursting out, and his body was full of strength at this moment.

They moved on, and after being frightened, there was no such strong emotional conflict later.

The location where the four children were was not at the end of the corridor, but just a turn.

Make a ninety-degree turn here, and the corridor continues to spread forward. At the end of each corridor, there will be several corpses standing. Some of them are holding brooms, and some are holding plates, as if people are waiting on them. With the owner.

Even if they weren't ghosts, this scene would send shivers down their spines.

Wang Jinpeng scolded: "You said that these princes and nobles just want to enjoy themselves while they are alive, but they still have to bury people with them when they die. They are really scum!"

Lin Ran smiled helplessly: "This is human sacrifice, and it was not completely abolished until the Republic of China."

The so-called human sacrifice means that after the death of a wealthy family, in order to continue to enjoy the service of servants, they will continue to enjoy the treatment in the underworld and have their servants and wives buried together.

Moreover, there are no certain standards for burial. As long as the power is strong enough, anyone can be killed.

In the largest burial pit in the Shang Dynasty, as many as 1000 people were found buried alive or killed and buried.

As they walked forward, they talked about how they would dismantle the tomb owner's coffin later so that he could feel the humiliation. They joked with each other, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.

After four twists and turns, we finally reached the end of the corridor.

At the end of the corridor, there is a wooden door.

"Well, shouldn't the funds be all spent and only enough wood can be used to make the door?" Wang Jinpeng said with a smile.

There were bronze doors and stone doors before, but suddenly a wooden door appeared. He thought he could open it easily.

"Don't be careless." The first few times he opened the door were extremely dangerous, and he didn't think he could get through easily.

He came to the wooden door and carefully observed the surrounding walls, but found no mechanism.

"Is it really just an ordinary wooden door?" Lin Ran pinched his chin.

Liu Jingfeng found a stone to sit down and said, "After walking for so long, do you feel tired?"

He glanced at his watch. They had been in the tomb for fifteen hours, and it was already ten o'clock the next morning.

It’s normal to feel tired after not sleeping for a day.

"You guys should take a rest." Lin Ran decided to study the tomb door, since they needed someone to watch over them while they were sleeping anyway.

"You're welcome then." Wang Jinpeng also leaned on the stone and started snoring in an instant.

And Liu Jingfeng and Xu Ning didn't laugh, because they also fell asleep deeply.

"This trip has been really hard." Lin Ran looked at the three of them with a smile on his lips.

But he was still young and very energetic, so he continued to study wooden doors!
