The three of them heard the sound and rushed into the depths of the forest. The five big dogs followed closely behind. After running into the forest for a while, they suddenly saw Yingzi running over with three giant mastiffs in panic.
Seeing that she was fine, the few of them finally relaxed.
"Yingzi, did you shoot? Are you hurt?" Hu Bayi quickly asked.
Fatty looked carefully in the direction Yingzi ran over, but he didn't find any strange movements.
" Brother Hu, I'm fine. But that head really scared me to death." Yingzi was frightened. "Just now, I saw a shack in front of us. I went in to take a look, but it was full of dead people! I didn't dare to look carefully, thinking that it was a savage, so I fired a shot. In the end, I didn't see clearly who the corpse was."
Yingzi was panting heavily from running, her face pale.
"Yingzi, don't be afraid!" Ye Yuan also rushed over at this time. He patted her shoulder gently and comforted her." Now that everyone is here, we don't have to be afraid even if there are really savages here!”
Yingzi nodded gratefully.
"Let's go over and take a look!" The three of them looked at each other and thought that since Ye Yuan was here, with his martial strength, even if there was something, there would not be much of a problem.
However, thinking about it carefully, it was already unbelievable to find dead bodies and shacks in the deep mountains and forests at the border of China and Mongolia. Since they had built shacks, it meant that these people lived here. This was a little strange.
It was obviously illogical.
Ye Yuan and Hu Bayi were the first to take the lead. They scouted ahead and observed the surroundings carefully. Yingzi was a little scared and followed behind with the dog.
"Fatty, bring Yingzi and follow closely. Don't fall behind.”Ye Yuan didn't forget to turn around and remind her. "Alright, don't worry. Leave it to me!”Lord Fatty was happy. It had been Yingzi protecting her along the way, and now it was finally the other way around. He patted his chest and said,"Sister, don't be afraid. I'll protect you!”
She looked down and didn't have any reaction.
Fatty rolled his eyes.
Walking beside her, he suddenly chuckled and said,""So you're afraid of death?"
Yingzi stopped in her tracks.
Fatty didn't say much. He blinked and walked forward.
" I didn't." Yingzi swallowed her saliva subconsciously and said in a low voice, as if she was talking to herself.
There were dense leaves everywhere. The moon was dark and the wind was strong. The ditch was silent.
The few of them held flashlights and carefully approached the shack that Yingzi mentioned.
These shacks were built with a mixture of mud and straw, and a small amount of wood. They were all built in the densest places of the trees, on top of the big trees. The location was also very hidden. With the help of the moonlight, everyone could roughly see what the outline looked like.
The flashlight shone on the ground. There were dead branches and rotten leaves everywhere, but there were also some scattered white bones scattered all over the ground. This was particularly out of place in the Savage Valley, which was rarely inhabited all year round.
"Could it be that there are wild beasts here that eat people?”Fatty muttered.
"Don't jinx it. If anything happens, I'll look for you!”Hu Bayi was speechless.
Above the shack, the branches were dense, and the moonlight in the sky couldn't shine down. The surroundings were silent, making the forest seem a little ferocious and terrifying.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. Pay attention to your feet and don't step on anything.”
Ye Yuan looked calm.
He remembered that in the original plot, there should only be some rotting corpses here. There was not much danger. At worst, they were just some wild beasts. Moreover, this strength also gave Ye Yuan enough confidence.
The few of them walked closer to take a look.
"Yingzi, what was I thinking?!" Fatty sighed. It's just some white bones."
Fatty was not afraid at all.
He had seen dead people before, Wen. Before the revolution, his father was a high-ranking official who held the power of life and death. He was the commander of a large military region. He had been playing with guns in the military camp since he was young. After he entered junior high school, he was an expert in using guns. When he was young, he had seen a lot of the world with his father. He had seen many dead people. He was quite bold.
Just from the way he rushed here from Beijing to look for the treasure in the tomb without saying a word, one could tell a thing or two.
There would definitely be brave men under the 'great reward'.
As he spoke, Fatty saw a snow-white skull on the ground in front of him. He didn't know which tendon went crooked, but he suddenly had the urge to play. He took two steps forward and stretched out his leg. He kicked the " ladle " in front of him five or six meters away like a ball, rolling in the grass.
But the next moment, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. "Brother Fatty, what's wrong?" Yingzi asked.
" I'm fine, I'm fine." Fatty smiled awkwardly and got up from the ground. He quickly patted the dust off his butt and pretended that nothing had happened.
He was afraid that he would lose face in front of Yingzi.
"Hey, who are these people? You still provoked me after you died." The fat man's expression was awkward as he interrupted the topic.
"Bad luck!"
"Alright, Fatty, be careful!" Hu Bayi frowned and said in a low voice.
At this time, Ye Yuan had already made a discovery.
"Look."
With a call, he called everyone over. The light in his hand shone on a corpse sitting under a tree beside him.
The skeleton was leaning against a big tree. Under the light, one could see that the flesh on its body had long rotted. The corpse was black due to excessive decay. Its muscles were almost completely rotted away, and its skin was dry. From time to time, insects and ants crawled in and out of its eyes and nostrils.
Although he had been dead for a long time and no longer looked like a human, he could tell that he was relatively tall when he was alive. He was still wearing a yellow-colored linen coat, which was tattered and dirty. However, from the style, it seemed that he had seen it somewhere before. On closer look, there was a short blade stabbed in his abdomen. The wound had long rotted and was eaten by insects.
Who was this person? Hu Bayi and the others were also puzzled.
Yingzi didn't want to go up and take a look. She only glanced at it and quickly turned her head away. She hid behind the fatty and didn't dare to make a sound.
"What is this?" Fatty suddenly said.
It turned out that there seemed to be something on the ground near the corpse. With the help of the flashlight, he started to dig through the pile of dead branches.
The result did not disappoint him. He really touched it.
After a while.
A long, rusty metal object was revealed. Fatty spent a long time and took it out from the soil. At a glance, it was a long knife.
Without hesitation, he grabbed the hilt and pulled it out.
Whoosh!
A bright blade light appeared.
"Japanese army knife!" Fatty was shocked. He looked at Hu Bayi and Ye Yuan in disbelief.
Hu Bayi's pupils constricted as he was clearly stunned.
"Why is there a Japanese knife here?”
It had been forty to fifty years since the war. During the revolution, things like these left behind by the Japanese had long been integrated into the blast furnace to contribute to ironmaking. It was indeed surprising to see such things now.
It was one of the weapons that slaughtered countless innocent lives during the War of Resistance. It represented the painful memories of all the Chinese compatriots in those years. It was like a nightmare. Fatty was also born into a military family, so he naturally recognized it at a glance.
It had committed a heinous crime that was unforgivable!
However…
It was undeniable that the craftsmanship of the Japanese military knife was unparalleled and had a certain status internationally. The steel mouth of the knife in Fatty's hand was excellent. After so many years, it was still shiny. From this, it could be guessed that its owner had cherished this knife very much when he was alive. He must have wiped it from time to time. Even if it had been buried deep underground for many years, it would still be difficult to hide its sharpness and brilliance.
At this moment.
Ye Yuan took out a dagger and poked around the corpse to see if he could find anything.
Since he knew about the Japanese, he didn't have to worry too much. He remembered that there should be a notebook that recorded a lot of things.
"Brother Ye, what did you find?”Hu Bayi asked.
"Here, here!"
Ye Yuan reached out and took off a small item from the innermost collar of the corpse's clothes. It was made of metal. He wiped off the stains on it and handed it to Hu Bayi.
"This corpse is wearing a military uniform. It looks like it's a traditional Japanese style!”Ye Yuan said casually.
Hu Bayi's eyes lit up. After he became a soldier, the elders in his family had experienced the anti-Japanese war. They had been influenced by their parents and had heard a lot about the battlefield. They had some understanding of Japan.
In the beginning, it was because it was dark and late at night, so his eyes were not paying attention and his mind did not think of that direction for a moment. Now that he heard Ye Yuan's words and looked carefully, he realized that it was true!
"This knife should belong to the Japanese!”Fatty and Hu Bayi instantly understood.
It was a proper Japanese military uniform. In order to reduce military spending and manufacture weapons for the battlefield in China and the Soviet Union, the Japanese specially chose this kind of military uniform that was resistant to dirt and easy to obtain. They thought it would look noble and elegant!
Judging from his attire, he was still a Company Leader. It was a good death! When Hu Bayi thought of this, he couldn't help but spit on the ground.
From the looks of it, this person was definitely a Japanese officer when he was alive! He just didn't know how he got here or how he died in this forest.
Fatty waved the knife in his hand.
"How did this Japanese die here?”He stared at the corpse for a long time and suddenly said," Look at his disheveled hair and unkempt appearance. Could he have been a savage when he was alive?”
