Human bone cart
In Yu Fu's field of vision, wherever the golden light shone, the lake water dispersed to both sides, and layers of light penetrated into the huge crack, gradually illuminating it as if in slow motion.
Only then can you see that what connects to the bottom of the lake is actually a dark cliff that goes straight up and down.
After being soaked in the lake for a long time, the stones on the surface of the cliff are no longer sharp, but have been polished to be smooth. They are even covered with a layer of light green moss, but there are no large plants of seaweed.
I just said that the fish had hidden in other places in the lake. I thought there should be some in the cracks, but I didn't see any.
The lake water in the upper part of the cliff is like a buffer zone. Further down, you can clearly see the shape of the water flow, which is composed of many large and small whirlpools.
No wonder there are no aquatic creatures. They probably know the terrain is dangerous and dare not approach. If you enter accidentally, you will definitely be swept into deeper waters.
A clear section appeared in the rift, and a wider area appeared under the water. He saw the small city at the bottom of the lake.
The ancient buildings are very well preserved underwater. Apart from the collapse caused by the initial earthquake, there has been no obvious damage since then. If they were on land, they might not be able to withstand the erosion of time.
Yu Fu determined that this was part of the capital of the Nanhu Kingdom. After the earthquake, cracks appeared in the ground, forming a rift valley, and the affected houses along both sides were buried deep underground.
Over the course of history, the geographical environment has also changed, and the streams and rainwater here have gradually accumulated, forming its current appearance.
I'm afraid that even the villagers of Nanhu Village who have lived there for many years have never imagined that the lake they have seen since childhood still hides such a deep secret.
Yu Fu thought of the bones he had just seen in the only old house left in the village. This meant that there must be more human corpses buried under the lake.
Due to the influence of the rift above, his vision was actually slightly obstructed, and he had to look very carefully to see all the details. He noticed that there were some patterns similar to inscriptions on several walls, which did not look like ordinary houses.
Could it be that this is the residence of a noble family?
There was no more useful information, so he slowly withdrew his gaze and saw a very large fish suddenly swimming out from the narrow gap in the cliff. It was swimming in the whirlpool, and except for some shaking of its body, it was not affected by any other factors.
However, the shape of this fish is different from the common species seen. The catfish's whiskers are almost half as long as its body, and its eyeballs are covered with white. It is estimated that it does not rely on vision to swim in the water.
There are several bulges under the abdomen, which look like limbs that have not yet evolved, as if they have mutated.
Yu Fu withdrew his gaze, and when he opened his eyes again, his pupils had returned to normal.
Before Ding Can could ask, he described the scene at the bottom of the lake. Apart from the undercurrents in the water, there didn't seem to be any hidden dangers. For them who had just arrived in Nanhu Village, the clues they got were not many.
But it can further prove the authenticity of the customs of Nanhu Village from the side.
There were many people on the boat, so Yu Fu spoke slowly and in a low voice. Sitting behind them were Yang Qi and Gao Wenwen, so it wouldn't be a problem even if they heard it.
Lao Wang had almost finished his explanation and started chatting with the people on the boat.
He usually doesn't have many opportunities to leave the village. When tourists from other places come, he will learn from them and think about making some reforms in Nanhu Village so that the village can get more revenue.
After discovering that Mu Mu was very insightful in this area, he started chatting again enthusiastically, put the oars sideways, and sat at the stern of the boat.
However, although the scenery here is unique, it can be seen quickly. Not long after, the boat returned to the water.
Lao Wang originally took the team to familiarize themselves with the route and told them that they could walk around nearby, but not to go too far as there were no tall landmark buildings here.
If you are too far away from the village and the area is overgrown with weeds, it is easy to get lost if you can't see the way back to the village.
There were still matters to be dealt with in the village, and there was nothing dangerous as the surrounding area was plain. After he once again reminded everyone not to get close to the lake, he gave everyone a map and went home.
It is completely hand-drawn, and even the routes in these maps seem to be slightly different. However, there seems to be no small paths. As long as you don't walk into the grass, there should be no risk of getting lost.
However, the names and simple sketches of the places above seem to be quite intriguing.
This was also Mu Mu's first time participating in this type of tour: "This place is quite magical. There wasn't even a tour guide. They let us find places to visit on our own. It was like an adventure."
Yang Qi reminded: "But everyone should try to travel together and not walk alone."
With so many people, it is very convenient to travel together. Ding Can and his two companions, plus Yang Qi and Mu Mu, there are five people strolling outside, not too many or too few.
Continuing forward along the direction of the lake, Mu Mu had just walked a short distance when he replaced the battery with a new one. "There's no distance indicator, but I see there's not much transportation in the village. If we just rely on walking, these places shouldn't be too far away."
This tour will last for three days, and she thought it would be best to visit all the attractions in the first two days, so that she can make up for any omissions on the last day and go back in the afternoon.
Nanhu Village is so small that there is really no need to stay here for too long.
She was there to record the beauty and life, but the four people she was traveling with didn't have the same leisurely time. Because of her experience, she always felt that something dangerous would burst out from the grass by the roadside.
Gao Wenwen was chatting with Yang Qi in the back, exchanging their experiences of the previous dungeon. When he saw Mu Mu turning the camera over, he waved and greeted him.
"Why did you think of coming to Nanhu Village? This place is totally unknown." Mu Mu was very outgoing and would pull Ding Can's arm from time to time to talk. She often went out alone and never felt bored because she liked to find companions on the road.
"I saw the news online and came here after trying and being able to sign up."
"You're looking for Wang Zhi, right? Didn't he reply to your message in the middle of the night? He seems very busy."
"Midnight?" Ding Can knew that he was the village chief's nephew, responsible for organizing and registering for each visiting activity, but he didn't know the other details.
Mu Mu was stunned for a moment. "Yeah, he said he was busy with work during the day, so extra work can only be done at night. Luckily, my video editing schedule is not very regular, otherwise it would be really difficult to chat with him in real time. Why? Aren't you the same?"
"My friend signed me up, but I'm not very clear about the details." Ding Can pointed at Yu Fu and evaded the question.
Unexpectedly, Mu Mu was determined to get to the bottom of things. She turned around and looked at Yu Fu again: "When did Wang Zhi reply to you?"
Yu Fu paused and could only agree with her: "Well, it was also at night... But I wasn't asleep at that time either."
"Yeah, but I think his speech is also quite strange. It's a bit old-fashioned. He doesn't look like a young person at all. I sent him emojis and used some internet buzzwords, but he didn't seem to understand."
Since he is the village chief's nephew, he should be the same age as them, but his way of speaking is completely different.
"Have you made a phone call?" Ding Can felt that there was something wrong with Wang Zhi.
"No, I'm thankful he can reply. If Nanhu Village wants to develop, it should first replace this incompetent customer service representative."
Wang Zhi’s replies were not very timely. Sometimes he would suddenly lose contact while chatting. Mu Mu thought it would be more convenient to talk on the phone, but he never answered her call.
Of course, no one has ever really seen what Wang Zhi looks like.
Seeing Mu Mu walk away, Yang Qi followed and said, "If we only communicate through text messages, his personality might be fabricated."
Could it be that someone else is impersonating this identity and attracting these people to Nanhu Village? They need to register in advance and then wait for final confirmation, but it seems that there is still some screening among them.
Nanhu Village seemed to be shrouded in an invisible and strange atmosphere, and you were already in the game the moment you stepped in.
At the beginning, farmland could be seen on one side of the road. Now, some villagers are busy working in the fields wearing straw hats, and no one goes out of their way to look at the outsiders who appear in the village.
Further in, even villagers rarely come here on weekdays. Even if there is a dirt road, the area suitable for people to walk on is very narrow.
In just two or three hours, I had already checked in at the first two attractions on the map.
The route on the map is mainly T-shaped vertically. I have walked through the small area in the upper left corner, and will leave the larger area on the right to look at it tomorrow.
When we returned to the ancestral hall, most of the other people in the team had also returned. The lighting here was poor, and some rooms had already had lights on.
Ding Can saw Xiaoshui waiting on a step next to the ranking position. When he saw her coming back, his eyes lit up and he jumped over.
"Sister Xiao Ding, you're back!" Although she was greeting her, her eyes were on the bouquet of flowers in Ding Can's hand, with no intention of looking away.
Ding Can tucked her messy hair behind her ears and said, "You must have been waiting for a long time. I carefully selected these flowers."
"It's so beautiful, thank you, sister." She took it, and against the backdrop of the bouquet, she looked even more petite and lovely.
There was a creaking sound, which was the sound of a door being pushed open. Xiaoshui's expression changed, and she looked a little nervous. She even grabbed the corner of Ding Can's clothes.
"What's wrong?" Ding Can turned around and noticed that it was Cheng Jialu who came out. He went to throw some garbage into the trash can outside. "He just had lunch with us at noon. Did you forget?"
"When I came here just now, I greeted that brother. He was so fierce and I was a little scared..." Xiaoshui spoke very softly, for fear of being heard.
But this was completely different from the Cheng Jialu they knew. Since they met in the morning, he had always been kind and gentle, but they often heard his girlfriend complaining.
In most cases, Cheng Jialu played the role of a peacemaker. It is hard to believe that he was mean to a child.
Ding Can was wondering if Xiaoshui had misunderstood something.
Xiaoshui continued, "His eyes are red, and he looks a little scary."
