I practice the Tao by blind practice

Chapter 63 Things in the Wooden Box
Turn over that layer of sand, and the stones below are messy.

Some are as big as a human head, while others are no bigger than a fist.

It took about ten minutes for Chen Haisun and Jinzhong to barely clear the stones aside.

The hole blocked by stones is at most a little over one meter in diameter. A normal person has to squat down and shrink his body to barely enter it.

"Old Cousin, there really is a cave down here, the two of us, whoever goes in first..."

Already impatient, Sun Jinzhong asked Chen Hai with a smile all over his face.

It was the first time for his cousin Chen Hai to visit the water tank. He said that there were treasures to be dug here. Sun Jinzhong was actually skeptical about this.

But now, the appearance of the cave entrance completely dispelled his doubts.

"Don't rush in, Brother Zhong!"

"Inside the cave, it has been closed for decades, and the air is very turbid. Wait for a while, after the inside is ventilated, it won't be too late for us to go in again!"

Tilting his head, Chen Hai pondered for a while, and then he spoke.

What is inside the cave, whether he can get in or not, is actually pretty clear.

Apart from the skeleton of the woman in the flower dress, there was only a tattered wooden box inside the cave.

This place is where the Japanese soldiers who killed the woman in the flower dress stayed in this area.

Those Japanese soldiers stayed in this cave for a while, and inside the wooden boxes were the spoils they looted from some people's houses when they were sweeping around.

Because the evacuation was rather hasty, when the Japanese soldiers left the cave, some items were not taken away at all, and they remained in the wooden box.

After so many years, Chen Hai didn't quite know what was left inside the wooden box.

He was able to know the existence of this cave mainly because he devoured a lot of her memories during the fierce battle with the woman in the flower dress, and obtained these things from those memory fragments.

Those Japanese soldiers were full of evil spirits.

When she first transformed into a spirit, the woman's strength was too weak. It's not that she didn't want revenge, but at that time, she couldn't even get close to those Japanese soldiers.

After the evacuation, those Japanese soldiers never appeared again.

As time passed, the sediment washed down by the rain completely buried the entrance of the cave, and this place has been preserved until now.

Near the entrance of the cave that had already been dug, Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong waited for ten minutes.

When Chen Hai took out a match, lit a candle that he carried with him, and then stretched his hand into the cave, the candle was not extinguished.

He just nodded and told Sun Jinzhong that he could enter the cave.

"Old cousin, then I'll go in first!"

Grinning, Sun Jinzhong, who had already started to itch, squatted down, holding a candle in one hand, and slowly moved into the cave.

Although the entrance of the cave is not big, the space inside has suddenly opened up after only walking a distance of one or two meters.

Both Sun Jinzhong and Chen Hai, who followed closely behind, no longer needed to squat down. When the two of them moved forward, they could barely stand upright.

"Brother Zhong, pay attention to your feet, be careful there are snakes inside!"

Looking at the flip-flops on Sun Jinzhong's feet in front of him, Chen Hai reminded him kindly.

"Old cousin, there are bones in this place..."

Sun Jinzhong, who had always boasted about himself and dared to steal cattle, looked like he was still in shock, and suddenly jumped up in fright.

The entire cave is actually only four or five meters deep.

Walking to the position where Sun Jinzhong is standing now, the front is the end. Under the light of the candle in his hand, the situation in the cave can actually be seen at a glance.

Already a little decayed, it looked like a relatively complete skeleton, just lying at his feet.

At this time, and in such a place, suddenly seeing such a thing will inevitably make your heart beat faster and make your heart uneasy.

Sun Jinzhong's performance like this is actually quite good. After all, he just shook his body a few times, and he didn't scream out of fright.

"Brother Zhong, it's just a skeleton, and it looks a bit miserable, so there's nothing to be afraid of!"

"When we leave later, we have to dig a hole and bury this thing in the soil so that she can rest in peace!"

Patting Sun Jinzhong on the shoulder, Chen Hai comforted him with a smile.

To be honest, he was actually a little bit nervous, but he had a firm mind and could hold his own.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought his cousin here with him.

"Old cousin, we have to dig a hole to bury her with this skeleton?" Hearing what Chen Hai said, Sun Jinzhong shuddered again, and hurriedly asked.

"That's right!" Chen Hai nodded, and added: "The woman in the floral dress who entangled Uncle Han Chu is the owner of this skeleton!"

"When she was beaten to death by me, I promised her that I would bury her properly and let her rest in peace!"

"I must do what I promised others, Brother Zhong, what do you think?"

Sun Jinzhong didn't reply, he was already feeling panicked, but now he shuddered several times.

"Old Cousin, you don't want to tell me that the treasure digging you mentioned to me is just for digging?"

After a long silence, Sun Jinzhong opened his mouth, and asked again tentatively.

"Of course not!" Chen Hai chuckled.

He pointed to the innermost part of the cave, a wooden box that was so decayed that it could easily be ignored by people as broken, and said, "The treasure I'm talking about is right there."

"However, I don't know exactly what's inside that wooden box."

"Whether we can find the treasure inside depends on our luck!"

Hearing what Chen Hai said, Sun Jinzhong only felt his eyes light up.

Even the fear in his heart was temporarily suppressed by him. Holding the candle in his hand, he walked to the side of the broken box and squatted down in a few steps.

The lid of the box was rotten, and Sun Jinzhong broke it off in two or three strokes.

The first thing that fell into his eyes were a few palm-sized tin jars without logos.

This kind of jar should contain military rations.

After opening one of the jars and confirming his guess, those iron jars had been thrown aside by Sun Jinzhong.

For the military rations from more than half a century ago, even if the jar was sealed well, he would not dare to eat the contents indiscriminately.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Jinzhong took out the rest of the items in the wooden box one by one and placed them on the ground under his feet.

There are as many as six or seven colorful porcelain bottles and jars.

Half of these bottles and cans are somewhat damaged, while the rest are still intact.

However, due to improper preservation, its fineness is average and its appearance is not good.

After Sun Jinzhong took out these bottles and cans, he just glanced at them and skipped them.

His gaze has always been fixed on the other things that were taken out of the wooden box.
