Su Mingan was startled and squatted down to check.
"Be careful, some bones are very sharp and might hurt you." Perhaps because he was too eager to help others, this good old man was concerned about everything and immediately handed Su Mingan a pair of thick gloves.
"You look just like Doraemon..." Su Mingan put on gloves.
"More...what?" The man shook his head.
"Nothing." Su Mingan found out that this person should be a native of Luowasa.
He groped around and found a skeleton lying on the ground, mostly buried in the soil. Only through the scraps of cloth left on the skeleton could he tell that it was a woman's clothing. There was a red knot on the wrist of the skeleton, like a woman's hair tie.
"I'm sorry." Su Ming'an muttered to himself.
"Here is a wooden sign, held in the skeleton's hand," said the person next to him.
Su Mingan took off his gloves and touched them. It was written in the Luowasa language, with a sentence engraved on it:
…
【I finally met him, but he was different from what I expected. 】
…
"She shouldn't have died recently." The good man stroked his chin. "Could this woman be a contestant in the first Disciple Game? I heard that because the dungeon is too large, some contestants' bodies will not be collected, and may even be left as 'little easter eggs'."
Su Mingan sighed in his heart.
He slowly laid the skeleton flat on the ground, scooped up the surrounding soil and poured it on top, gradually burying it.
The person next to him squatted down silently and buried the skeleton with him.
While burying the body, Su Mingan felt a heat on the back of his hand. He touched it and found a drop of liquid.
He immediately touched his eye sockets, which were dry. He then realized something: "...are you crying?"
The person next to him was startled and touched his eye sockets: "Ah, yes, it's very strange."
"Is it sadness?"
"I don't know, it seems not. I just cried for no apparent reason." The man shook his hands: "I have forgotten the last time I cried. It should be a physiological effect."
Such a mighty man would suddenly burst into tears.
In the silent darkness, the two buried the bones and stood up.
Suddenly, Su Mingan heard a rustling sound.
He immediately looked at the person next to him and found that the outline was still.
...Is there a third person in this safe room?
"Rustle, rustle."
Su Mingan was ready to punch at any time and slowly approached.
However, he saw a thin, small silhouette.
The figure sat in the corner, with a few reflective silver threads faintly visible.
……elder?
"Yes, is it Kongzai? Kongzai, is that your voice?" The voice was that of an old woman. When Su Mingan and the other two had just come in, she was afraid that they were bad guys, so she shrank in the corner and dared not make a sound.
Su Mingan squatted down and looked at her carefully with the help of the subtle reflection of the bracelet.
Silver hair, wrinkled face, a pair of cloudy long eyes, spotted lips, and facial features that vaguely showed that she must have been very beautiful when she was young. She had a silver chain hanging on her chest, a silver cotton jacket, and bloated legs and feet.
"Kongzai, it's really Kongzai!" The old man touched his clothes and seemed to recognize him.
Su Mingan remembered that in the third level of the Disciple Game, Wang Xingkong had been acting with an old lady. The old lady's name was Jia Xiqin, and Wang Xingkong had been protecting her.
…They were strangers before the game, but after just one instance, Wang Xingkong and Jia Xiqin became like real family members. And some people are blood relatives, but they seem like enemies.
Su Mingan closed his eyes, suppressed his emotions, and nodded to the person next to him: "It's someone I know."
"Grandma?" the man asked.
"..." Su Mingan paused: "Dear."
Jia Xiqin didn't seem to be in a good condition, perhaps because she inhaled some poison gas and was not very clear-headed. She held Su Mingan's hand and kept chattering. She talked about what she had experienced in the past few days, and said that if it weren't for the weapon that Kongzi left for her, she, an old woman with inconvenient legs and feet, would have died long ago.
"Money, money, everything needs money." She held Su Mingan's hand tightly, and she was not in a clear mind, mumbling to herself:
“Food costs money, firewood costs money, and medical treatment costs money.”
"My son is missing a leg, and it costs money to have it reattached. My granddaughter has a bad heart, and her medicine costs money."
At this time, a good man came over with a medical box and applied medicine to Su Mingan's calf again.
Su Mingan sat down and lowered his hands quietly.
"So many mouths to feed, eating, eating...not enough. That night, I woke up and heard them talking about sending me to the mountains and forests, like many old men and women over 70."
"I was thinking, if I were to be sent into the woods to starve to death, it would be better for me to participate in this game, so that there would be one less person at home. Oh, I was so angry, but luckily you, Kongzai, were there to take care of me..."
The poisonous gas hit the glass door, crackling like rain hitting banana leaves.
With a "click", the person next to him closed the medical box, subconsciously lit a cigarette, and brought it to his mouth, but then he remembered that there was someone next to him, so he immediately put it out.
It is like a peaceful island among endless waves. The strong wind and rain outside the door cannot harm the glass room.
Su Mingan was held by Jia Xiqin, and their bracelets ticked calmly.
It was like being outside the world. At this moment, all the chaos, pain, confusion, and fear were temporarily isolated outdoors.
At this moment, he seemed to be just Wang Xingkong, a boy without any responsibility to save the world, as if his life would be very long. All he had on his shoulders was the hope for the future.
The old lady talked about her home, which was a remote village east of Rowsa, covered with golden wheat fields. When the wind blew, the wheat fields were full of heavy grain in autumn.
