Apocalypse: I Have a Super Farm
Chapter 103 Tomb Keeper
The cemetery's keeper is an old man in his fifties, hunched over, with a low-quality cigarette in his mouth, sitting on the old rocking chair in the duty room, looking out the window with cloudy eyes.
He was wrapped tightly in an army green coat against the biting night wind.
pat!
Li Tianran pushed open the door of the duty room and walked in, with a gust of dusty cold wind that made the old man shiver.
"Master, I'm Li Tianran...Did you call me just now?" Li Tianran looked at the tomb keeper and asked in a deep voice.
"It's me." Seeing this, the tomb keeper stood up. He bent like a hunchback, wrapped his coat, picked up the flashlight on the table and walked out: "Come on, I'll show you."
The huge cemetery was dark and dark, covering an area of several kilometers. The cemetery of Li Tianran's parents was in a relatively remote corner, and the two walked to that location.
Li Tianran was a little anxious and couldn't help but quicken his pace. The tomb keeper followed behind, and he was out of breath after a few steps.
Seeing this, Li Tianran couldn't bear it and slowed down.
The cemetery is divided into four areas, and one area is separated from the other by barbed wire, which acts as an anti-theft function. Usually, only the cemetery keeper has the key to open the barbed wire.
Even in the new century, there are still some people in the business of robbing tombs. They steal the ashes of women from the cemetery and give them to some dead people to marry. …
"Master, you are the only one in such a big cemetery?" Li Tianran asked softly.
"Yeah." The tomb keeper seemed reluctant to speak, just nodded slightly.
"The world has changed, and danger is everywhere. Many people are hiding at home and dare not go out... Why are you still working?" Li Tianran asked again.
"Hehe... the world is changing, so I have to eat too!" The gravekeeper smiled helplessly, "I work here, although it's a little dangerous, but I still have three hundred yuan to buy rice and noodles every week; I'm hiding at home, it's really safe! But I'm going to starve to death in three days!"
The words of the tomb keeper revealed a deep sadness.
Before the cataclysm, people who were rich in the past also had a hard life, while those who had a hard life lived more like worms in the mud, betting their lives on tomorrow.
The two began to remain silent, walked forward, and soon came to the area where Li Tianran's parents' cemetery was located.
The tomb keeper took out the key to open the gate made of barbed wire, and flashed the two-meter-high building in the corner with a flashlight that looked like a small ancestral hall.
There was a stone tablet erected in front of the small ancestral hall, and at the very center of the ancestral hall, there should have been a stone gate to seal it, but now the two stone gates are scattered on the ground, revealing the black hole inside.
The two wooden boxes containing the ashes have disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Li Tianran felt cold all over.
"I found it an hour ago when I was patrolling here." The tomb guard's tone was also a little low, and then he shook the barbed wire on the surrounding wall with a flashlight, and saw a hole in the barbed wire that separates the cemetery from the outside world. , the wire seems to have been twisted by pliers or something.
"There is only one entrance to this cemetery. The person who stole your parents' ashes must have sneaked in through this hole." Point to the small ancestral hall. "
"Go and see if those tomb robbers have left any clues!"
Li Tianran gritted his teeth, instead of going to the small ancestral hall, he walked towards the barbed wire.
The broken wire above is a new stubble, and the section is shiny. Obviously, it has just been cut. Otherwise, in this humid and cold weather, these breaks will rust within a day.
There were some footprints under the barbed wire, Li Tianran compared it, and it was about 44 yards.
"Is there any surveillance in the cemetery?" Li Tianran was silent for a moment, then asked.
"Who dares to install that thing in the cemetery..." The gravekeeper shook his head and said, "How scary! Take a look at the screen in the middle of the night,
If I see someone, should I go out or not? "
The cemetery's caretaker is paid very low, it is a kind of mess work, no one will be too dedicated.
Li Tianran didn't quarrel with the tomb keeper, scolding him for not doing his job well.
Because it is of no use at all.
He just wants to see if there are any traces left by the other party here, trying to find some clues.
"You'd better check the small ancestral hall to see if there are any clues left by the tomb robbers..." The tomb keeper said, handed the flashlight to Li Tianran, and pointed to the small ancestral hall again.
Li Tianran was very confused, took the flashlight and walked to his parents' small ancestral hall.
On the tombstone, a photo of a middle-aged couple hangs on it, showing a gentle smile, and Li Tianran feels sad.
He whispered to himself: "It's my fault, it's because I didn't consider it comprehensively... As early as the day the world mutated, I should have taken you back."
The world is changing, anything can happen.
If there is any crustal movement, or some mutant beasts break into the cemetery, it will also make a mess here.
Li Tianran endured the discomfort and walked to the tombstone and kowtowed twice.
In the photo, the woman's eyes are very gentle.
Li Tianran stood up and wanted to go to the small ancestral hall to have a look, but at this moment he was stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something, he suddenly turned and walked towards the hole in the barbed wire.
He stood there again, and gestured with his hand the size of that hole.
He soon discovered the problem.
The hole seems a little small!
It is only half a meter in diameter, and while it can accommodate some adults to pass through, it must be very difficult.
Li Tianran tried to drill through, and it took more than ten seconds to pass completely.
Afterwards, he stood outside the hole and looked at the edge of the wire, and saw that on the dozen or so sharp forks where the wire mesh had been twisted, nearly half of them were hung with some wire, which was the fluff on Li Tianran's clothes. If you look, you can't see it at all.
Li Tianran's figure is not strong, he is relatively thin among adult men, and when he drilled this hole, he had been very careful to avoid those wires as much as possible, but even so, his clothes were still hanging on the edge of the wire. On the fork, traces were left.
The footprint under the barbed wire is about forty-four yards. According to this ratio, the figure of this person should be about 1.78 meters to 1.83 meters. It is also considered tall among men. If you want to pass through the hole in the barbed wire, it is impossible. Very easy.
Li Tianran remembered very clearly that there was no trace of any wire on the barbed wire before!
Li Tianran tried to tug at the silk threads, but if he didn't use force, he wouldn't be able to pull them down at all, and there was absolutely no chance of them being blown off by the wind.
Even a thin person can't leave a trace behind.
A flash of light flashed in his mind and his eyes turned cold.
He began to slowly recall everything that had happened since he came to the cemetery, including every word the gravekeeper said to him.
Perhaps, there were no tomb robbers sneaking in at all.
He raised his head and stared at the stooped gravekeeper standing in the dark, his brows trembling.
If this grave keeper can stand up straight... it should be very tall!
At least 1.78 meters above! ?
