Chapter 169 Chapter 17 Spontaneous Combustion

"How did it involve Yang Siyi?" I was very puzzled, but my voice was very low. This memory is our common painful memory. "Really, I can't be wrong, no wonder I always think that the third child looks familiar!" Xu Feng replied very positively. "Then tell me how you met." As soon as I heard it, I thought it made sense, so I walked with Xu Feng to a deserted place in the camp and listened carefully to what he told me.Xu Feng didn't speak at first, but he was struggling to recall, and he probably didn't know how to describe it.Later, he said intermittently that Yang Siyi had escaped from Motuo, Tibet, and was sent to an orphanage in Tibet by some kind-hearted people.But later, something happened to the orphanage in Tibet, and that kind-hearted person sent Yang Siyi to Qinghai again.That kind-hearted man often came to visit her when she was a child, and Xu Feng also met this kind-hearted man when she was a child. That kind-hearted man is our guide—the third child.

I was very confused. If the third child is really my father, why did he appear near Medog? Of course, archaeologists will "wander" around, maybe this is not surprising.I asked Yang Siyi about the specific day when she escaped from the castle, but Xu Feng didn't know, and she didn't even know Yang Siyi's birthday.I wanted to know about that date, and figure out when the third child escaped with Yang Siyi, but my hopes were dashed.I think Yang Siyi's appearance is not much older than mine, probably the same size as me.Children's memory is almost zero before the age of three, and it is difficult to remember things at all. From the age of three to five, the memory is also very weak. When they are adults, they will only hide those deep memories because of a similar thing. Memories are triggered.Yang Siyi has never remembered the location of the castle, firstly because they lived in a remote place and never went out to the outside world, and secondly because she was absolutely young back then, perhaps not more than three years old, or only three years old.

"What are you thinking?" Xu Feng pulled me out of my contemplation. "No, I'm just surprised." I said perfunctorily. Xu Feng still wanted to say something, but Professor He Kai called everyone together, saying that he was going to set off again later, so the investigation work to be done had to be carried out as soon as possible, but everyone had to be in small groups and carry guns.When he started working, Professor He Kai counted the number of people, but found that one person was missing.After careful investigation, what was missing was Xiao Wang, the radio operator from Shanghai. If he disappeared, then we would not be able to communicate with the outside world, and we still count on him to repair the radio contact tool.The team was in disarray, and Professor He Kai was also very anxious. She told us to look around, but we had to form a small group to avoid encountering the group of poachers.

The snow field was vast, and except for a few bumps, there were basically no hidden objects.Where could that telegraph operator hide?It wasn't long before the person who was in the tent with him remembered that Xiao Wang seemed to have gone out last night for convenience, but he never came back after that. The people in the same room thought he had gone to stand guard, and now they feel strange.When we heard this, we became even more desperate. Can we still find this person who has been missing for so long?The person on guard said that he saw Xiao Wang leaving the camp last night, but he didn't pay attention to whether he came back, and he didn't hear any sound nearby, and it was very quiet.

"Let's look for it again, and we must find Xiao Wang." Professor He Kai left the camp worriedly after speaking. I also wandered around, but I knew in my heart that this little king was in danger, and he might have gone to the west early.Xinhong was with me, and he kept complaining that Tashi Cuo was too wordy, and he had nothing to chat with him all day long, so he couldn't be free.I think it's funny, this Tashi Cuo is also quite funny, he doesn't like to talk to the team members, but prefers to talk to Xinhong.I quietly listened to Xinhong's complaints. It was rare for him to speak ill of others, so I kept quiet and let him vent quietly.I was listening intently, but I fell down. The sky was so cold, and the pain in my knee was magnified several times. The key point was that the wound on my back shoulder was torn again, and I almost yelled.I struggled to get up, then turned around and saw that the place where I fell was a pit.However, when I stepped on it just now, I felt that I stepped on something, which was crunchy, and it felt a bit like a skeleton.Xinhong and I hurried back to the camp, called a few more helpers, took the shovel and returned to the place where we fell, and then began to dig out the snow in the pit.As expected, the power of many people is great. After a while, the pit on the ground showed its original shape.It turned out that the pit was caused by the collapse of the tunnel. The ghost of this tunnel is really lingering, and it followed this place. I have to admire the person who dug the tunnel.The tunnel collapsed repeatedly. Of course, this is related to the geographical environment, and the tunnel is very close to the ground, so it is normal to collapse.

"It's a bone!" Suddenly someone shouted. I stopped the shovel in my hand and gently pushed the snow away with my hands, only to find that there was a human skeleton hidden under the snow accumulated in the tunnel.I find it strange that traces of tunnels have been found in some places before, but they are all empty and there is nothing at all. How could there be more bones here?Except for the place where I stepped on it just now, the bones were intact, and everyone looked at the bones with frowns.I looked at the bones carefully, and found that the bones were fresh, and there was a lot of black dust on it, and many places were burnt. This person was burned alive!I picked up the broken bones and found that the marrow had been burned to ashes, suggesting that the fire had started from within.If the burning started from the outside, then the bone marrow and tiny bones inside should still be there, but the outside bones were only burnt black, and the inside was empty.

"Could it be that this person died of spontaneous combustion? Is this possible? Although I often hear about incidents of spontaneous human combustion, I have never seen it with my own eyes." I thought to myself. "It's Xiao Wang, look at the watch on the bone, it belongs to Xiao Wang." The team member next to him shouted again in horror. I looked down and saw that there was indeed a watch, and I seemed to see such a watch on Xiao Wang's hand.I took it off and looked carefully, the watch had stopped.There were still some rags on the bones, probably not burnt clean, but I found it very strange.People were burnt to the point where only bones remained, so why did some clothes still remain? Could it be that his clothes had the function of slowing down the fire?

"How did he become like this, is there a ghost?" There was a panic among the team members, and everyone talked about it, which made me upset.But I also feel puzzled, how can a good person be burned like this, and looking at the bones, it is indeed a phenomenon of spontaneous combustion.However, what was the reason that made Xiao Wang spontaneously combust, it couldn't just happen suddenly without any reason. "You carry it up." Lin Yue came over, and then gave orders. Everyone knew that she was the one who paid, so they obeyed. Professor He Kai also walked over, everyone was sad, some feared, some numb, and I felt very sad and puzzled at the same time.Lin Yue checked the bones and frowned, but instead of looking at the bones all the time, she walked to the collapsed tunnel and took a closer look, then she seemed to think of something suddenly, she nodded again, Locked brows also loosened.Professor He Kai said in a heavy tone that everyone should put the bones in a proper place and wait until they got out to make any fuss. He also told everyone not to act alone to avoid further accidents.After the team dispersed, Lin Yue didn't leave, and neither did I.We all looked at the collapsed tunnel, probably thinking the same thing.

"This tunnel is so long, you can still see it in this place." I spoke first. "Don't get close to that bird when you see it in the future, do you hear?" Lin Yue was not surprised, but said a word in a warning tone, and then went back to the camp. I looked at the back of Lin Yueli, and my heart was hot and cold, but when I thought of Xiao Wang who died of spontaneous combustion, I sighed again.There are so many difficulties now. I have met a fierce poacher, an unlucky phoenix, and now a mysterious death. My firm heart has been shaken beyond recognition.That mysterious bird is very strange. If it is also haunting nearby, why is it rarely found by people? It is not difficult to find a bird on fire, unless it is very well hidden.So how is it hidden?I looked down at the tunnel depressedly, and my heart suddenly brightened. No wonder Lin Yue frowned when she looked at the tunnel. It turned out to be the case.If that strange bird had been walking on the ground, it would definitely be found often, but if it often walked underground, wouldn't the chance of being found be smaller?However, this is always speculation, and actual evidence is needed to confirm this idea.The age of this tunnel is not very long. I checked it and found it to be no more than a hundred years old. There has been no major construction in Tibet in the past hundred years. Who exactly dug this tunnel?

"Chen Jinwei, come back quickly, don't be alone outside." Professor He Kai shouted to this side from the camp.As soon as I heard it, I walked back. If I was standing here alone, no one would help me if something happened.After finishing the survey work, everyone slowly moved towards another camping point, but the third child kept looking after the skeleton, as if very sad.I find it ironic that no one who gets along with Xiao Wang is so sad, but the third child who gets along with him for a day or two can be so emotional. I don't know if the third child is affectionate or we are cold-blooded.I couldn't bear it, so I walked over to strike up a conversation with the third child.

"Third guide, don't be sad." I said softly. "She died like this too." The third child suddenly said. "Who?" I asked curiously, and looking at the third child, I also wanted to say something, so I asked very cooperatively. "My wife, hehe," the third child said with a wry smile, "It's all because of that bird!"
