It's broken, I'm playing a really weird development game

Chapter 317



The old man was buried in the grave.

Bluestone bricks, generally speaking, were used by people who could not bring in bricks or were in poorer places to build houses in the early years. These bluestones were basically split and polished by individuals bit by bit.

Wu Wen kicked the bluestone brick in the soil, turned it over, and confirmed his guess.

This thing is indeed not very neat, and it looks like it was split by human feeling.

Wu Wen frowned slightly.

"In an era when even bricks could not be brought in, could there be someone who would specially grind some bluestone to build a tomb?"

The rain poured down, and the bluestone bricks were washed cleaner, but it also made Wu Wen more confused.

This place is a mass grave, that's for sure. But these things that I dug out don't look like they should be in a grave.

Unless I dug out a grave of a king or a general, ordinary people would never use bluestone to build a grave in this isolated village.

Even if you really build a grave, someone will steal all the stones for you to build a house.

The poor are almost eating dirt, who the hell cares whether the ancestors live well? The poorer families will just throw the dead to the mass graves to be eaten by wild dogs. The better ones will wrap you with a mat, and the worse ones will strip you of your clothes.

In addition, these pots and pans that I dug out. These things, no matter how you look at them, should not appear in the grave, but in the village.

Wu Wen had some suspicions in his heart. He stood up, looked around the mass grave, and looked carefully. He did find some strange places.

"Crack, crack..." Wu Wen let go of his movements, walked quickly on the dead branches and leaves to a dozen graves, and then stood there quietly looking at what seemed to be a ruined wall in front of him.

This was a wall less than 30 cm high, made of various shapes but still flat stones.

This 30 cm high wall had been mostly covered by various soils, but because it was long, the exposed length was enough for him to distinguish it from the graves.

Wu Wen stepped forward again and dug down along the wall.

This time the excavation was not so deep, just two more times, and then the bricks and stones buried under the soil were seen.

This was indeed a wall.

Wu Wen stood up and began to walk around the entire mass grave.

More and more things that should not be in the grave appeared around the mass grave and in the soil.

For example, he found a collapsed low wall more than ten meters outside the mass grave, and he even dug up the wooden beams of a thatched house that had been buried under the collapsed low wall.

For example, a very sturdy locust tree was found not far behind the mass grave, and under the locust tree there was a large round millstone wrapped in mud.

Continuing to walk along the mass grave, he found a mud-built earthenware pot for burning wood. But it was also seriously damaged.

Wu Wen walked half a circle along the mass grave, with less and less doubt in his eyes, and more and more certainty in his inner guesses.

Finally, he stopped and looked at the mass grave in front of him.

The clues were clear. This place was indeed a village. It was very likely that a mudslide caused the entire village to be destroyed, otherwise there was no way to explain these pots and pans and the destroyed walls and house remains.

But if this place was buried by a mudslide, then who made so many graves here as a mass grave?

The graves were definitely not built by ghosts, so there must be people.

But the cause of the village's destruction is yet to be determined, but looking at the traces of the surrounding soil, it is indeed possible that it was caused by mudslides.

So, this place may really be a village destroyed by a mass grave, and these graves were built by the surviving villagers for those who died unfortunately?

Wu Wen walked towards the mass grave. There were many tombstones in front of these graves. He could use the tombstones to determine the date of death of these people.

If the date of death was on the same day, then his guess could be confirmed.

Otherwise, his guess was wrong.

Accompanied by the sound of dead branches being stepped on, Wu Wen walked to a tombstone that had not been damaged.

The carving techniques of these tombstones were different from what he thought. They were quite regular, and they did not look like they were made in a hurry.

The handwriting was a little bit wrong because of artificial carving.

It's clear, but even if you rub it, it won't affect the general reading.

"Guzhai, the Yao family's eldest son, the tomb of Xi. His son..."

Wu Wen stood up suddenly and laughed instantly.

"Hahaha, I know it as a horse rider! There is definitely something waiting for me!" Wu Wen laughed loudly, looking particularly weird in the tomb.

Riding the horse, when he just discovered that this place looked a bit like a destroyed village, he had already begun to wonder whether this place was an ancient village.

Now it seems that he was not wrong at all.

"Hahahaha, it's a common formula in horror movies, looking for a ghost village that doesn't exist, right?" Wu Wen stopped laughing, but he felt a little weirder inside.

If Guzhai is a ghost village, it cannot explain the explosions in the past few years, nor can it explain who erected this tomb.

Unless, the mudslide that year did not kill all the people in Guzhai, and these people later went to other places to rebuild their homes.

This can explain these two doubts.

But in this case, this place will be fine again.

No, there is a problem, and there is also the problem of death time.

If the time of death caused by the mudslides encountered back then was not much different, then this would be a completely perfect conjecture that is in line with the present. If the time of death is very different, the above explanation can be completely overturned.

Wu Wen frowned and began to observe the death time on the stone tablet.

"Died on: Tenth month and thirteenth day of the 1927th year. (1927.10.13)"

"It's early enough." Wu Wen said, but an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Damn it, this guy died too early, I'm a little worried that he won't be able to keep up with the time!

He took a few quick steps towards the other tombstones.

"Died on the eighth day of the eighth month of the year 1949."

"It's broken, I'm sorry!" Wu Wen's heart skipped a beat, and all his previous speculations came to an end in front of these two tombstones.

Judging from the cause of death and the shape of the tombstone, this place is completely the place where the ancestors of the ancient village are buried.

Whether it's mudslides or rebuilding homes, they're all completely overthrown.

It’s even unclear whether Guzhai is a ghost village or not!

After all, this is the ancestral tomb of Guzhai, and it is just haunted tonight. How can it have anything to do with Guzhai!

So, this ancient village really likes to build ancestral tombs on other people's villages?

"Fuck!" Wu Wen looked at the other tombstones again in disbelief.

However, the words on each tombstone confirmed that they did not die at the same time, nor were they together.

"1983, 1987, 1988, 1997..."

Wu Wen sighed, and the excitement that he had just found a clue suddenly disappeared.

Moreover, he walked around this place for at least an hour, and no danger or ghost appeared.

Even if he takes pictures with a hell of a camera, there's nothing wrong with him.

Only a photo of a village and a photo of a mass grave could prove that he had indeed seen the ghost village that suddenly disappeared just now, and there was nothing else out of the ordinary.
