Shadow Code - C14

“You heard it all, I know I found it all myself!”

” What do you mean, don’t always talk like that! Have you ever been to the place described in the old branch books? The branch books know about most of the things in this forest. If it’s not the branch books, then unless you’ve really been there yourself! ”

” If you really want to know all of this, then go find the answer yourself! ”

” Ma, don’t you feel that something’s wrong here? ”

” I have never lived here before, so how do I know what it was like before? ”

” You don’t need to live here. Didn’t you find anything? ”

” If there’s really something that doesn’t make sense, it might be possible to say it! ” The pockmark paused.

” Tell me about it! ”

” “The mattress on the kang!”

I went to study in the city. The old branch book probably lived here alone, using a rabbit skin as a mattress, because many of the hair was flattened and there were traces of a body lying on it.

The pockmarked man said the mattress was wrong. I don’t understand.

But just as I was about to ask, my heart skipped a beat. Damn, a room that no one had visited for so many years could not still have a strong smell of dry smoke, so how could a mattress that had lain so many years ago leave any traces of a person’s body?

The two of us looked at each other for a brief moment before we understood what each of us was thinking.

” Aren’t you surprised that you’re so calm? ” I almost bounced up, but the pockmarks were too calm.

” “What’s there to be surprised about? There are many signs, I’ve already suspected it!”

” Who do you think it is? Is it really a book? ”

” “It’s a book, I can’t imagine what’s behind it, not a book, I definitely can’t imagine it, San-zi, if it was just the tip of the iceberg, would you dare to investigate it?”

” “What do you mean?”

” There are many things that you might never know about. If you were to know even a tiny bit of them, it would be equivalent to being infected by poison. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to get rid of them! I am reminding you to consider it! ”

Because the next day there was something important on our minds, we just managed to get it done. After filling our stomachs, the brick bed was also hot, so we quickly went to sleep.

At night, at an unknown time, I woke up with a piss. The brick bed was very hot, and I really didn’t want to leave this warm bed, so I opened and closed my eyes, holding it in for a long time in the mountains. The brick bed was hot under my back, and the tip of my nose was cold, because there was only one layer of heat on the bed.

I looked at the fire under the brick bed, I really needed more firewood, so I got up and pissed together.

The pockmarked man was sleeping soundly, so I didn’t wake up even when I climbed over him. I pushed open the door and left the room.

The moonlight outside, hidden between the two treetops, cast a silvery light through the cracks, and I was just outside the house peeing, preparing to grab some dried branches that were ready, but there seemed to be movement in the distance.

At first I thought it was a wolf or something, but no, it was a human voice, because it was a regular sound, it sounded like someone digging, one time, one time, but digging deep in the mountains in the middle of the night was impossible, was it digging?

Ignoring the fact that I had to go back to the house and wake up the pockmark, I followed the sound of the noise.

Damn, I was right this time. After walking a few steps, I saw a shadow squatting in the moonlight from afar. Coincidentally, I could see the pit in front of him by borrowing the moonlight.

It seemed that he had not been digging for a long time. That person’s face could not be seen, and his hair was neither long nor short; it hung down on his head, covering his face, facial features, and was draped around his neck. He looked like someone who had been living in the mountains all year round, with an unkempt look on his face.

Who knows if it’s a man or a ghost, even if it’s a man, he’s not a good person. With my hands and IQ, even if I’m not a match for him, I wouldn’t dare to go any further than him, and I don’t dare to walk back for fear of being found out. Besides, I’m also curious, what is the purpose of digging a pit?

At this moment, that person stopped digging, scaring me so much that I didn’t even dare to breathe, so much that I struggled to lower my body, ‘Did he discover me?’ Just as I was about to discover him, I ran and shouted at him, and that person took something out from his clothes. That thing seemed to be small, about the size of a rag, but I couldn’t see anything clearly, so I threw it into the hole and started to fill it up.

F * ck, I was wondering, why did you bury something so secretively and not go into detail, why did you throw it in so casually? Furthermore, it’s just a cloth, is there really a need to dig a deep hole, it’s illogical for him to do it so carefully, it’s much more serious than burying things.

He didn’t even look around, but started walking in one direction, and soon disappeared into the darkness of the jungle. After I couldn’t hear his footsteps, I got up to walk towards the wooden house, but just as I was about to turn around and walk away, there was a person standing behind me.

I almost peed, it was pockmarks.

” When did you wake up and how long have you been here? ” I’m not sure if the pockmarks saw the digging.

“When you get up, press on my elbow and you’ll wake up. We should hurry up and dig that pit and take a look!”

“What if that person didn’t go far? Or else the sky will brighten!”

” “Why would you want to dig in the middle of the night and specially choose a spot so close to the wooden hut? Why is there such an eye-catching sound coming from the hole?”

“What do you mean? “You don’t understand?”

“We arrived at the wooden house in the evening and started a fire or something. As long as the person who came was not a fool, he would know that there is someone in the cabin tonight. If Zhang Xuan were to dig a hole and no one knew about it, would he be able to do so silently? Would he really have to dig one after another? “Apparently, the other party is doing this on purpose for the people from the wooden house to see, but I’m not sure if this is a trap or just a message.” The pockmark said the first half of the sentence with a confident tone, but in the end, it was obvious that he was hesitating.

“So maybe the other party hasn’t gone far yet. Maybe he’s hiding nearby to see if we should dig out the things he buried!”

“Then we’ll dig out that rag and it’ll still be daylight. In fact, the nature of danger is the same, right?”

“Right, what, what rag?”

“It looks to me like that person buried a rag!”

“Damn, that’s just skin! What kind of brain do you have?”
