When you open up that layer of sand, you will see that the rocks underneath are in disarray.
Some are as big as a human head, and some are no bigger than a fist.
It took Chen Hai, Sun Jinzhong and the others ten minutes to barely clear the stones aside.
The diameter of the hole blocked by stones is a little more than one meter at most. A normal person would have to squat down and shrink down to barely enter it.
"Old cousin, there is really a cave down here. Who among us will go in first..."
Already a little impatient, Sun Jinzhong asked Chen Hai with a smile on his face.
This was the first time for his cousin Chen Hai to come to the water tank. He said there were treasures to be dug here, but Sun Jinzhong was actually doubtful about this.
But now, the appearance of the cave entrance completely dispelled his doubts.
"There's no need to rush in, Brother Zhong!"
"The inside of the cave has been closed for decades, and the air is very turbid. Wait for a while, and 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, then he spoke.
He had a rough idea of what was in the cave and whether he could get in or not.
Apart from the corpse of the woman in colorful clothes, there was only a tattered wooden box inside the cave.
This place was where the Japanese soldiers who killed the woman in colorful clothes settled.
Those Japanese soldiers stayed in this cave for a while, and inside the wooden box were the trophies they looted from some houses when they were raiding nearby.
Because the evacuation was hasty, when the Japanese soldiers left the cave, some items were not taken away at all and remained in the wooden box.
After so many years, Chen Hai didn't know what was left in this wooden box.
He knew the existence of this cave mainly because when he had a fierce battle with the woman in colorful clothes, he devoured a lot of her memories 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 was too weak. It wasn't that she didn't want revenge, but at that time, she couldn't even get close to those Japanese soldiers.
After the evacuation, the Japanese soldiers never appeared again.
As time passed, the silt washed down by the rain completely buried the entrance of the cave, so this place can be preserved until now.
Near the entrance of the dug cave, Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong waited for about ten minutes.
When Chen Hai took out a match, lit a candle he was carrying, and then reached into the cave, the candle did not go out.
He just nodded and informed Sun Jinzhong that he could enter the cave.
"Old cousin, I'll go in first!"
Grinning, Sun Jinzhong, who had already begun to feel itchy, squatted down, held a candle in one hand, and slowly moved towards the cave.
Although the entrance of the cave is not big, the space inside suddenly opens up after just walking a meter or two forward.
Sun Jinzhong and Chen Hai, who followed closely behind, no longer needed to squat. When the two of them moved forward, they could barely stand upright.
"Brother Zhong, be careful where you step, be careful there are snakes inside!"
Looking at the flip-flops Sun Jinzhong was wearing in front of him, Chen Hai reminded him kindly.
"Old man, there are bones in this place..."
Sun Jinzhong, who had always boasted that he was brave enough to steal cattle, looked frightened and suddenly jumped up in fright.
The entire cave is actually only four or five meters deep.
Walking to where Sun Jinzhong was standing now, there was already the end in front of him. Under the light of the candle in his hand, the situation inside the cave could actually be clearly seen.
A set of skeletons, already somewhat decayed but still intact, were lying at his feet.
At this time and in such a place, suddenly seeing something like this will inevitably make people's hearts beat faster and make them feel uneasy.
Sun Jinzhong's performance was actually quite good. After all, he only shook a few times and was not frightened to the point of screaming.
"Brother Zhong, he's just a skeleton. He just looks a little miserable. 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 nervous, but he was relatively determined and could control his mind.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought his cousin here with him.
"Old cousin, with such a skeleton, we still have to dig a hole to bury her?" After hearing what Chen Hai said, Sun Jinzhong shuddered again and asked quickly.
"That's right!" Chen Hai nodded and added: "The woman in colorful clothes who haunted Uncle Han Chu is the owner of this skeleton!"
"When she was beaten to pieces by me, I promised her that I would bury her properly and let her rest in peace!"
"I must definitely do what I promise others, Brother Zhong, what do you think?"
Sun Jinzhong didn't reply. He was already feeling panicked, but now he shivered several times.
"Old cousin, you don't want to tell me that the treasure hunting you told me is just for digging for this thing, right?"
After being silent for a while, Sun Jinzhong opened his mouth and asked again tentatively.
"Of course not!" Chen Hai chuckled.
He pointed at the deepest part of the cave, a wooden box that was so badly decayed that it could easily be dismissed as junk, and said, "The treasure I'm talking about is right there."
"But I don't know exactly what's inside that wooden box."
"Whether we can find the treasure inside depends on our luck!"
After hearing what Chen Hai said, Sun Jinzhong felt his eyes light up.
Even the fear in his heart was temporarily suppressed by him. Holding the candle in his hand, he had already walked to the broken box and squatted down in a few steps.
The lid of the box was rotten, and Sun Jinzhong tore it off in a few clicks.
The first thing that caught his eye were several palm-sized tin cans without labels.
This kind of jar should contain military rations.
After opening one of the jars and confirming his guess, Sun Jinzhong casually threw the iron jars aside.
It was military rations from more than half a century ago. No matter how good the sealing performance of the jar was, he would not dare to eat the contents indiscriminately.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Jinzhong took out the remaining items in the wooden box one by one and placed them on the ground at 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 quality is average and its appearance is not good.
After Sun Jinzhong took out these bottles and jars, he just glanced at them and skipped them.
His eyes were always focused on the other things he took out of the wooden box.
