C84 (1/2)
Just as I was in a hurry, I was hit on the shoulder. When I turned around to see that it was the ancient corpse called Cultural Relics Building, I took a few steps back out of fright. I widened my eyes and was about to scream when he pointed behind me.
I looked, scared out of my wits, and behind me was a field of wild grass, but there was nothing else in the grass, all ghosts, arms and legs cut off, struggling against me on the grass.
The ancient corpse looked at me and slowly stepped back. It seemed to want me to follow him.
I gritted my teeth and followed him. He saw the ancient corpse slowly walking towards where I came from. I sensed that he wanted to take me back.
After following him for some distance, he saw that our classmates were all sitting outside the tent chatting happily.
Am I seeing things?
That's impossible! The ancient corpses didn't seem to want to go any further. Then he stopped.
I whispered, ”Why are you following me? What's your name?”
But the ancient corpse just looked at me, grinning, and said nothing.
I asked him several times, but he just kept grinning!
I felt no ill will in him, and today he helped me, so I named him.
”Thank you for today!” How about I call you Stone from now on? ”
The ancient corpse's mouth opened even wider, and it kept nodding its head.
After looking at me, then looking at my classmates, I knew what Shitou meant, so I nodded.
The stone turned and disappeared into the forest.
I quickly walked back. Before I even reached the bonfire, a student had already shouted, ”Lingyue, quickly come over here! ”We've been in the washroom for so long. If you don't come, we'll go find you!”
What toilet?
Why can't I remember that?!
Their words confused me, but I forced myself to walk over.
After a symbolic roasting, he went to sleep in the tent.
But I couldn't figure out whether what I saw was real or fake.
If it wasn't for that ancient corpse, I might not have been able to return …
The next morning, we woke up early because today, the staff was taking us to the field operation. Everyone seemed very excited.
After arriving at the cemetery, I was a little surprised. Why is it the same as the one I saw last night!
Could it be that what I saw was the so-called tomb, then …
I was also thinking that the staff had brought us to the workplace and that the job was to clear out the bodies.
The experts said that this could have been a burial, so there were a lot of casualties. We have to clear them out one by one, and as an examination, we have to be very careful.
In fact, it was like holding a small brush, a small shovel, and slowly digging out the corpse's bones bit by bit.
I actually don't quite understand, what else is there to study about corpses for. Originally, they had slept soundly and wanted to get them up. Isn't that just letting them be at peace even after their death?
Our work is always much more difficult than we thought.
After a day of cleaning, his hands were numb.
In the afternoon, he couldn't even hold the bowl of instant noodles.
One by one, the girls fell asleep in the tent, exhausted.
