"This must have been dead for over ten or twenty years, right?" Wu Xie thought to himself as he overheard the speculations of several people. He slowly approached the corpse and examined it carefully. The sight before him made him frown: the person had become a mummified corpse, the skin tightly attached to the bones.
Wu Xie glanced again at the woolen coat worn on the corpse and couldn't help but sigh. The coat was so rotten that its original color and texture were no longer recognizable, but the general shape of the person could still be discerned. However, it would take some effort to identify the person at a glance.
Feeling a bit better, he started rummaging through the corpses, saying as he looked at them, "There were a few marks on the path we dug out, but not many. I saw them when we were in the underwater tomb." He then glanced at Ling Xiao.
Seeing Ling Xiao's bewildered expression, he hesitated, almost forgetting that Ling Zi had lost her memory.
Ling Xiao was stunned by the stare. What did this person mean? What underwater tomb? They had been to other places before, hadn't they? The anxiety in his heart was reignited.
"Where did you dig this up from? Can you get out of there?" Ling Xiao asked him.
"We can't get out now. I've been looking for ages, and I haven't even found a trace of Uncle San." Wu Xie looked dejected when he heard that he could leave.
"When can we leave? I've been gone for ages. And why did you go to find Uncle San first? I need to go back to my parents first!" Ling Xiao said angrily.
"Looking for your parents? But aren't you an orphan?" Wu Xie, whose mind had been quite foggy after all the twists and turns along the way, blurted out.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's eyes widened as he stared at Wu Xie in disbelief, as if he had been crushed by this sudden truth. For a moment, a suffocating silence filled the air.
"So that's how it is." Ling Xiao only felt sad for a moment before lowering his head and accepting the fact.
Jieyuhua stroked the back of his neck, hoping he wouldn't be so sad. Lingxiao didn't say anything, but went to wake up the unconscious people one by one.
He should have realized this long ago; all the mysteries suddenly became clear, and everything became so clear.
He felt he had uncovered the truth. The only reason he came to this place to do these things was because he was poor, and the temptation of money here was too great.
After all, he was an orphan, penniless, and nobody cared about his insignificant life.
Seeing that the others were slowly opening their eyes, he took the opportunity to climb up the mountain of gold. While they weren't paying attention, he stuffed a lot of jade and other precious stones into his pockets. These things weren't heavy, so he could carry more of them.
When Shunzi sat up, Fatty took him to see the corpse. Unsurprisingly, he knelt down and started crying bitterly. He reached out and touched his father's hair, which unexpectedly caused his father to lose all his hair.
"We saw the body; it had starved to death here," Xie Yuhua said, expressing her deep sorrow.
Shunzi's eyes widened immediately. He began rummaging through his father's backpack and the other belongings on the body. He had starved to death, and his backpack contained everything except food.
“My father led an expedition team of eight people, including him,” Shunzi said, looking at the mess on the ground.
"There are only six corpses, how come there are still some that haven't been found?" the fat man asked doubtfully, but he quickly dismissed the idea. Finding a few people meant that they had thoroughly searched Jinshan. Could it be that, as Lingzi said, they ate those two people?
