After riding for an unknown amount of time, the four of them felt extremely thirsty and realized that they had not brought the drinking water they had prepared with them.

The scorching sun in early autumn is even more scorching than in summer.

"No way, you didn't even bring water!" Zhang Xiaoyu complained angrily.

"We left in a hurry! Let's first look for any villages nearby!" Ye Lei gave a plan.

The phone showed that it was 1:30 p.m. and I had already ridden 100 kilometers. The strange thing was that I didn't see any villages along the way.

Wen Xue opened the map app and searched for a while before coming to the conclusion: "The nearest village is 40 kilometers away! It will take more than two hours of riding!"

At this time, the four of them were already starving. Without water, they couldn't eat the food they brought with them, and eating would only make them more thirsty.

The four of them rested for a while under an old tree, feeling extremely thirsty.

I don’t know if it was an illusion because I was too thirsty, but I saw a farmer carrying a large pot of water from afar. The pot was big enough for several people to drink.

"Emmmm, did you see it?" Ye Lei stared at the farmer in the distance.

"Yeah, I saw it!" Zhang Xiaoyu also stared and nodded subconsciously.

"I saw it too!" Wen Xue responded!

Grandpa Six, the tailor, leaned against a tree and closed his eyes to rest.

"Uncle! Uncle!" Ye Lei was overjoyed and kept waving to the farmer.

The farmer uncle also saw the few people and walked straight towards them!

Several people hurried forward and stared at the kettle in the farmer's hand!

"Uncle, um...can you give us some water?" Ye Lei asked.

"This water is for my wife and children. They are working in the fields! If I give it to you, they will be thirsty today!" The water the uncle brought was enough for the farm work for the whole afternoon!

After hearing this, several people were too embarrassed to ask for it shamelessly and became dejected!

Seeing that they were silent for a while, the uncle said, "Well, if you help with the farm work, you can let them go back sooner, and there will be enough water!"

"can!"

"Uh-huh!"

"can!"

"..."

The four of them readily agreed, took the water handed over by the uncle and drank it in big gulps. The sweet taste and coolness went into their hearts, which was very comfortable.

In an instant, the thirst and fatigue of several people were relieved.

"Uncle, where do you live?" Ye Lei asked casually!

"Pingyuan Farm!" said the farmer, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Pingyuan Farm? I can't find it on the map!" Wen Xue opened the map app again, but still couldn't find Pingyuan Farm.

"Oh! It's an old farm! There are only a few households left now!" The uncle talked about the plight of the farm.

"Maybe!" Wen Xue responded softly.

After resting for a while, they followed the farmer and pushed the cart into a cornfield!

The corn is growing well. There are two or three big corns on one corn stalk. The corns have emerged from the dry outer husks, and the long purple-brown corn silks are hanging down, and each corn is plump.

"Uncle, the harvest this year is really good!" Ye Lei said as he broke off a cob.

"Who says it isn't! This year is a bumper year! Not only corn, but wheat has a good harvest as well!" When he said this, the uncle's face was filled with a smile from the heart.

"Ah~! Is this the land?" The flying insect landed on Zhang Xiaoyu and exclaimed!

"Well! After breaking this piece, you can pack up and go home!" The farmer uncle broke the corn skillfully.

"Where are your spouse and children?" Ye Lei asked without hearing the sounds of other people doing farm work in front.

"It should be in front!" the farmer said to himself.

This stretch of land seemed to have no end. Among the four people, only Uncle Liu, the tailor, had done farm work when he was young, so he couldn't help but feel worried.

But I'm not in the mood to drink water just now, feeling lazy and worried.

The few people had no choice but to divide their areas and put the corn into the snakeskin bags bit by bit.

Zhang Xiaoyu exclaimed from time to time.

Three or four hours passed, and the corn picking process was already halfway through. It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon! In half an hour or so, it would be dark. At this time, the sunset was already red!

During this period, none of them met the farmer's wife and children as he mentioned.

The water in the pot was also strange. We had already drunk from it several times, but the amount of water in the pot didn't seem to decrease. It felt like someone had refilled it right after we finished.

Ah~~~~

Zhang Xiaoyu's scream lasted for a very long time this time; she was really frightened by something.

"What's wrong again?" Ye Lei was already accustomed to Zhang Xiaoyu's yelling!

Zhang Xiaoyu in the distance did not respond. At this time, the tailor Sixth Grandpa also came to Ye Lei and said, "It doesn't seem like a joke!"

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?" Wen Xue on the other side also became nervous.

The three of them walked towards the place where Zhang Xiaoyu screamed. They were carrying snakeskin bags, and the corn inside made a unique sound when it rubbed against each other.

From a bird's eye view, Zhang Xiaoyu is right at the center of the entire area.

There is no corn planted in the center, and the empty space is circular, with an estimated diameter of about twenty-five or twenty-six meters!

However~~~

In the middle of the open space is!!!

There are actually three graves!!!

Zhang Xiaoyu was not someone who had not experienced great things, but the strange thing about these three tombs was that their shapes were something she had never seen before.

At this time, Ye Lei had already walked to Zhang Xiaoyu's side.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoyu staring blankly at the strange scene in front of him, he also looked in the direction he was looking.

I was immediately shocked!

Wen Xue and Sixth Grandpa Tailor were also stunned!

"Oh my god~~~~" Ye Lei felt a chill down his spine.

It was already half past six, dusk! Looking carefully in the direction of the setting sun, there was a layer of bright red clouds floating in the sky, not like the usual sunset glow!

"Lotus burial!" Grandpa Six, the tailor, recognized this special burial style at a glance!

Think about it, there is no house within dozens of miles, and I was thinking about staying at the farmer's house tonight, but it doesn't seem very safe!

Lotus burial is a special form of funeral. From digging the soil, burying the body, to considering the orientation, all the steps are very rigorous. If you are not careful, the lotus burial will turn into a lotus root burial!

Judging from the degree of weathering of the materials used in this lotus burial, Grandpa Six, the tailor, guessed that the grave must be very old, at least twenty or thirty years old.

I saw three stone lotuses rising from the ground, each with a diameter of about five meters and one meter apart!

The stone lotus is two or three meters from the ground, just covering the corn stalks.

In the center of each giant lotus is a mouthful of ~~~~

A green coffin!

There is no extra color on the green coffin, it is green all over, so green that it makes people scared!

This kind of coffin, which has been exposed to the sun for a long time and has been exposed to rain and sun for years, has long been rotten.

However, these three coffins not only did not show any sign of decay, but instead looked as bright and brilliant as jade.

"Coffin?" Ye Lei seemed to have discovered something fishy!

"No~~~~" Grandpa Six, the tailor, directly denied Ye Lei's guess!
