At this time, Fatty Wu followed me to the puddle at some point, but there was still a distance of five or six meters between us.
At this time, I saw Fatty Wu shouting and waving at me with a hand covered in stinky pit water. There was a round object in his hand, which was faintly glowing with silver. Light.
"Hahahaha... developed!"
While laughing, Fatty Wu ran towards me in a hurry. After running in front of me, he couldn't wait to spread his silver dollar in his hand for me to see.
I endured the stench and looked at Fatty Wu's hand, and found that it was indeed a silver dollar, but it was not a Longyang coin, but a Zhanyang coin from the last century.
Standing Yang, as the name suggests, has a pattern of a standing person on one side. This is the silver dollar of the British Empire. Although it is also a silver dollar, it is still several grades behind Yuan Datou and Long Yang.
But even so, this piece of foreign money is worth thousands of dollars.
I didn't pick up the silver dollar, I just glanced at it twice, and then asked Fatty Wu, "Where did you pick it up?"
"Over there, right next to that smelly puddle!"
As Fatty Wu pointed out the direction, I walked over quickly.
When I reached the spot mentioned by Fatty Wu, I looked into the puddle and the corner of my mouth immediately twitched.
I saw hundreds of bumps in the nearly dry, ink-black puddle. Although there was a layer of pitch-black puddle water attached to it, I was still sure that they were all silver coins.
"Fat man, give me a branch!"
Fatty Wu didn't know why, so he hurriedly found a branch nearby and handed it to me. Then he came close to me and watched with bright eyes.
I took the branch and inserted it into the raised place. As I stirred and picked, hundreds of silver coins emerged from the dark water.
"I'm so stupid... I'm so stupid...!"
Fatty Wu jumped up in excitement, as if someone was trying to snatch it from him. He didn't care that the puddle smelled worse than shit, so he rushed over and grabbed the silver coins in the puddle one by one. Then he threw it to the shore behind him.
I walked back to the shore, looked through the branches in my hands briefly, and found that all the silver coins lying around were foreign.
Discovering so many silver coins is like discovering a small gold mine. Not to mention Fatty Wu, I am also extremely excited at this time. With so many silver coins, I can't sell them for 1.8 million when I go back. of.
I was just about to imitate Fatty Wu and shout excitedly, but suddenly I felt that it was a bit inappropriate at the moment.
Immediately, I suppressed the excitement in my heart and planned to return to my original place to search for clues about the identity of the deceased.
But just when I turned my head, I suddenly noticed a slight ripple in the dark, smelly puddle.
The waves were very slight. If I hadn't observed them carefully, I would have thought they were caused by Fatty Wu's rough movements.
Gululu...!
A series of bubbles appeared in the puddle, and the mountain-like pile of corpses actually moved slightly, as if something was squirming deep in the puddle.
I suddenly had a bad premonition, so I shouted loudly to Fatty Wu, who was still clutching the silver dollar, "Fatty, there is something in the puddle, come out quickly!"
I was reminding Fatty Wu to leave the puddle as soon as possible, but Fatty Wu was completely immersed in the temptation of money at the moment. He didn't hear my shouts at all. He still went his own way and laughed excitedly. .
Gululu...!
The bubble was getting closer and closer to where Fatty Wu was. I couldn't think anymore. I rushed towards Fatty Wu with a single stride, grabbed the collar of Fatty Wu's neck and dragged him to the shore.
"What the hell are you doing, Dongzi? That silver dollar still has an old nose!" Fatty Wu shouted to me without knowing why.
At the same time that Fatty Wu was yelling at me in confusion, the bones in the puddle suddenly began to scatter, and a huge and dark body actually rose up from under hundreds of bones.
At the spot where the blisters had just appeared, a bloody mouth popped out, and he went straight to Fatty Wu and bit into it.
"Holy crap...holy crap...Dongzi, help me!"
Fortunately, I discovered something was wrong in time. When I saw this scene, I used all my strength to drag Fatty Wu and ran to the shore.
While running, he shouted at Jasmine and Lao Liutou who were not far away, "Why are you standing there stupidly? Run!"
In this way, the four of us rolled and climbed up the hillside. Old Liu Tou, who was still stumbling at first, now used three legs to escape and ran faster than anyone else.
Roar……!
A roar came from down the hillside.
But it was only limited to the sound. The weird monster did not catch up directly. It was just entrenched under the black mist, staring at our location with a pair of fist-sized green eyes.
I returned to the hillside again, and the long-lost sunshine shone on me again, making me feel a sense of warmth. But even so, my body was still trembling, and I still didn’t recover from the shock just now. He recovered from the fear.
Fatty Wu immediately collapsed on the ground, looking at the bottom of the hillside and said with lingering fear: "Damn it, it's all thanks to you, Dongzi, otherwise I would have been swallowed by that monster!"
"Oh my God, what kind of monster is that?" Jasmine was also trembling with fear, her face turned pale.
We three young people were all frightened, but the old Liu Tou was surprisingly calm. At this moment, he was standing on the hillside, squinting his eyes and staring down the hillside, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing Old Liu Tou be so calm made me feel that there was something special about this old guy. Obviously he knew or had seen the monster in the puddle.
So, since he knew there was a monster in the puddle, why didn't he warn us in advance? Was he waiting for the monster to rush out and eat us?
I didn't ask him. In my opinion, for such a cunning guy, even if you really caught him, he would refuse to admit it.
So the only thing I can do now is to be wary of this old guy and see what tricks he wants to play.
In my opinion, he would not be so kind as to accompany Jasmine to find her parents. If he had that intention, he would not wait until today, twenty years later, to search for her parents again.
The pair of green eyes at the foot of the hillside stared at us for a while, then quietly disappeared.
Has it really disappeared?
Obviously it's impossible, it must be waiting for us to go down again, and then give us a surprise pot.
"Oh my silver dollar, this is what we can do!"
Fatty Wu came back to his senses and thought of the hundreds of silver coins. He was so anxious that he beat his chest on the spot and threatened to risk going back to rescue those silver coins. This made me lift my leg and say, "You damn fat man." , You want money rather than life, right? If you want to die, die alone, don’t drag us down!”
Fatty Wu was mute at the time, and holding his mouth while holding back was even uglier than crying.
Among the hundreds of corpses in the Skeleton Lake, a huge and strange monster suddenly appeared. This made me think that Jasmine's parents had almost no chance of survival.
I ignored Fatty Wu and turned to look at Jasmine, who was sitting aside with her head bowed and silent.
I wanted to open my mouth and persuade her to give up. If the bones of her parents were not recovered, my own life would be at stake.
But before I could say anything, Jasmine suddenly raised her head and said with piercing eyes, "My parents must still be alive. I have a hunch that they are not dead. They must still be alive!"
With that said, Jasmine opened her camera bag again, took out the photo album again, and took out the yellowed photo in it.
There was nothing special about that photo. It was a group photo of Jasmine’s family of three. But it was just such a group photo, and I found that Old Liu was staring at it with his eyes shining brightly!
