Chapter 880 The Hollow Tombstone

Led by the priest, the three of them soon came to the tombstone with Herman T. Schroeder engraved on it.

When the priest arrived, he pointed to the tombstone, then turned and walked aside.

Yang Jing secretly pulled Ge Ge, who was a bit reluctant, and the two of them put the flowers in front of the tombstone together, and then they took two steps back, bowed their heads and put their hands together, pretending to pray.

"Buddha, Bodhisattva and Celestial Immortal are above me. The little girl Baiyu Gege is not here to pay homage to this Martin Bowman. There is a mission. All gods, don't blame the little girl."

Listening to Ge Ge whispering these words in Chinese beside her, Yang Jing almost laughed out loud.This girl has a big heart, and she dares to say such things here.

But Yang Jing is not much better, what he said is similar to what Ge Ge said.

If it wasn't for checking some clues, Yang Jing wouldn't have dragged Ge Ge here to pay homage to the executioner.

The two whispered for a while, then raised their heads.

Obviously, no one has come to worship this tomb for a long time, and the tombstone is already covered with moss, and even the words on the tombstone are a little unclear.

The tombs of foreigners are a bit different from the tombs of Huaxia. The tombs of Huaxia people are sealed with soil, but the tombs of foreigners are not sealed with soil, and there is only one tombstone.

Yang Jing used his Sky Eye skill to examine the tomb carefully, but found nothing.But when his eyes fell on this tombstone, he found something different.

This tombstone is very simple. It is an ordinary tombstone about half a meter high and sixty centimeters long.Just above the center of the tombstone is a cross, and the alias of Martin Bowman is engraved on the tombstone.Yang Jing knew that the pseudonym Martin Baumann adopted when he left Argentina and entered Paraguay was Herman Thomas Schroeder, so the name of Herman T. Schroeder was engraved on the tombstone.

Below the name is the date of birth and death, July 1900-February 7.

Apart from these two lines, there is no other writing on the tombstone.

When Yang Jing used his sky eye, he found that something was wrong with this tombstone, so when he changed his sky eye to see through, he immediately discovered the trickiness of this tombstone.

It turned out that the cross above the tombstone was actually hollow. In the center of the stone cross, there was a small hollow about five centimeters square, and in this small hollow was a small box.
This discovery shocked Yang Jing, and he immediately realized the importance and particularity of this tombstone.It's just that there was still the priest standing beside him at this time, so Yang Jing didn't do anything extra, but just pulled La Gege, and the two of them left here.

The priest came up to him and asked a few words in a chatty voice. After Yang Jing shook his head to indicate that he didn't understand, the priest switched to poor English.

"What is the relationship between you two and Mr. Schroeder? Mr. Schroeder has been buried here for 60 years, but his tomb has hardly been cleaned. I have been a priest here for 40 years. I have never seen anyone come to worship Mr. Schroeder, and you are the first person to come to worship Mr. Schroeder in the past 40 years."

Although the priest's English was a bit broken, Yang Jing could understand him when he spoke slowly.So Yang Jing said: "Mr. Schroeder has some relationship with my great-grandfather, but after Mr. Schroeder came to Argentina from Germany, there was no news about him. Some time ago, my fiancée and I traveled to Argentina. During the period, I met a German in his 70s by chance. During the chat, he talked about Mr. Schroeder. The father of this German lived in a small town with Mr. Schroeder. His father once gave him Speaking of Mr. Schroeder’s going to Paraguay later, and finally dying of illness in Paraguay, we didn’t know that he had been buried here.”

Hearing these words, the priest crossed himself and murmured, "May God bless you!"

Yang Jing continued to explain: "We didn't quite believe it at first, but after seeing Mr. Schroeder's tombstone, we were sure that this is the Mr. Schroeder who had some relationship with my great-grandfather. .”

The priest looked at Yang Jing and Gege, hesitated a little before asking, "Sir, I think you and your fiancée seem to be Asian?"

Looking at the puzzled expression of the priest, Yang Jing smiled and explained: "Yes, we are both Chinese. But my great-grandfather studied in Germany when he was young, and he met Mr. Schroeder at that time. Then At that time, Mr. Schroeder took great care of my great-grandfather, so my great-grandfather was very grateful to Mr. Schroeder. There is an old saying in China, which is called "The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring". It is for this reason, My great-grandfather never forgot about Mr. Schroeder, but it was a pity that Mr. Schroeder lost contact with us later. This time we were able to find Mr. Schroeder’s tomb, which is considered God’s blessing.”

Yang Jing's words made the old priest nod in satisfaction, and he said: "The previous priest of the church, Father Dekavo, once told me about this Mr. Schroeder, saying that this gentleman is a He is a good man. He donated a lot of property to the church and helped many people. So after his death, the last priest made the decision to bury him here. It’s just that this Mr. Schroeder doesn’t seem to have any relatives. The priest said that even when Mr. Schroeder was dying, no relatives showed up, which is very pitiful."

Yang Jing sighed slightly.

"However, Mr. Schroeder is a very strong person. I heard Father De Cavo say that after Mr. Schroeder learned that he had cancer, he prepared himself. I remember Father De Cavo said emphatically. He said that Mr. Schroeder prepared the coffin for the burial of Mr. Schroeder himself, and even the tombstone was prepared by Mr. Schroeder himself. At that time, Father Dekavo only carved Mr. Schroeder’s return to the embrace of God on the tombstone The date on the tombstone was carved by Mr. Schroeder himself. He was a wonderful man”

Hearing this, Yang Jing thought of the hole in the cross he saw just now, and immediately realized that there must be something terrible in the small box hidden in the cross on the tombstone!
So Yang Jing said very politely: "I also thank you for burying Mr. Schroeder on behalf of my great-grandfather."

"Hehe, this is what we should do. Mr. Schroeder is a good man, and he has no relatives. His burial here can allow him to return to the embrace of God. Oh, yes, there are still a few in the church. If you are interested, you can go and have a look at it later.”

"Really? That's really great. But Father, my fiancée and I want to stay here for a while. How about we go to the church to see you after we spend more time with Mr. Schroeder, I would also like to see what Mr. Schroeder has left behind."

The priest nodded, crossed himself again, and then turned and left.

After the priest walked away, Ge Ge said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you still staying in this kind of place? This is a cemetery, so eerie and scary."

Yang Jing said with a smile: "There is a reason for staying here. Daughter-in-law, if I'm not mistaken, Martin Bowman should have left clues here. But the priest was here just now, I'm sorry Looking for it, so I dismissed him. I will search carefully after no one pays attention for a while!"

"Is there a clue?"

Yang Jing nodded very positively.
