Chapter 1071: The Silent Small Town

Ye Ling observed carefully.

On the side of the high wall, there was a very deep gutter. There was no way to cross over. It was as if it had the human world and the desert were separated into two different worlds. There were some men, who were armed with guns, looking at the workers not far away.

Ye Ling did not dare not to go near. He was afraid that he would expose something.

He remembered the map silently in his heart. The youth walked over. “I have already told you. There won’t be any gold. You can give up.”

Ye Ling said, “What’s behind the wall?”

“I don’t know,” the youth said. “Get on the car. I’ll bring you around.”

Ye Ling looked at the people armed with guns not far away. It was time for their meal. There were also people patrolling. The young person was safe, and he got into the car. The youth brought him around the high wall once. When it turned, he then realized that there was someone in the desert. A piece of land was circled, and it was temporarily isolated. A very high wall was used, and there were also some high voltage grids. All of them were isolated.

She was inside!

Ye Ling’s gaze darkened. His heart was beating faster. There was not a moment he felt so agitated like now.

He had searched for so long. Finally, he could confirm her location.

This was the place for the Black Rose selection.

The desert was too big, and the circled ground was also too big. He simply could not completely walk through it. Someone had put their hand out. They were not allowed to go over. Ye Ling and the youth had to turn back. Ye Ling asked, “You said there were dead people. What is it about?”

“Ah, I’ll bring you there.” The youth kept the watch and was also very seriously responsible. He brought Ye Ling to another place two kilometers away from the high wall. It was a little high slope.

Ye Ling raised his head and looked over. There was nothing.

Where are the dead people?

The youth jumped down from the car and walked to the little high slope. He used his strength as he pried the yellow sand apart. He called Ye Ling over. “Come here.”

Ye Ling went over and dug the yellow sand with him. He saw a section of a bone.

It was a 30-centimeter long white bone.

The youth said, “There are white bones all over on this little mountain slope. For years, the wind and the sand had buried the bones. Hence, normally, you cannot see it. However, they are all bones.”

Ye Ling’s heart shuddered. He dug the yellow sand forcefully and saw a set of white bones again.

“Where were the dead people transported over from?”

“I don’t know,” the youth said. “My parents mentioned this matter. It was a mysterious taboo, and n.o.body dared to say anything.”

The people in the small town were very secretive. The youth said, “I know that my parents are working to earn money for us. They have said that no matter what they have seen, they have to keep it a secret. Hence, the adults will not discuss the matter in the desert.”

“So how did you know?”

The youth said, “I heard them talking about it secretly. Mom was especially scared and didn’t want to work, but Dad wanted to earn money. She didn’t have a choice.”

Ye Ling nodded his head as he stared deeply in the direction of the high wall. Suddenly, he took out the map and made a marking.

“What are you doing?” The youth asked. He looked at him confusedly.

Ye Ling said, “I am making a marking.”

“Don’t make any markings. Do you want to get us killed?” the youth said. “If they know that someone has leaked the secret, they will surely kill. They are bad people.”

Ye Ling asked, “Do you want to kill bad people?”

The youth shook his head.

Ye Ling asked, “Why do you not want to kill bad people?”

The youth said, “Our small town is very poor. It was very poor in the past and did not have much development. When the children grew up, they would not stay at home. They would go out and make a living. We could not fill our stomachs, and our clothes could not keep us warm. There were also robbers until they came.

“They are bad people. It’s not wrong. But they have also brought wealth and better living. Although they kill people and are very fierce, if they leave, we will become poor people again. We won’t eat or dress well. Then what’s the point?”
