Immediately, Jasper grabbed her wrist and pulled her over. Willow's face was
pale from the shock, and she looked at the pit beneath her. Soon, she noticed
something unusual. “Wait, this pit doesn’t seem natural, it looks man- made.”
After all, how could a perfectly round pit form on this deserted island? Thus, she
crouched down and studied the pit, taking photos from various angles with the
camera and using a ruler to measure it. As Jasper watched her work, his eyes
were filled with adoration.
“Hand me a shovel.” She reached her hand toward him. “I'll do it. Where do you
want me to dig?” “No, I just want to see the soil underneath,” Willow explained.
Jasper handed the shovel to her. Then, Willow crouched down and scooped up a
spoonful of soil. After examining it from side to side, she concluded, “There
should be an ancient tomb nearby.”
“Why is that so?” Willow put down the shovel and walked several feet away,
separating the high grass. When she lowered her head, she knew she had
guessed it right. There was a pair of symmetrically. matching circular pits, likely
where the tombstones were once placed. However, the wooden structures had
disappeared, leaving behind two stone pits excavated long ago.
Realizing this, Willow turned toward Jasper and said excitedly, “My mentor once
said that this is a form of ancient tomb burial. When people were away from
home and couldn't provide proper burial conditions, they would create two simple
tombstones to show respect for the dead. Someone with a high status must be
buried here, perhaps a prominent official or a noble. We may have discovered
something!”
As she spoke, she hugged Jasper. At the same time, Jasper extended his arms
and embraced her. After Willow laughed while being in his embrace for a few
seconds, she blushed and said awkwardly, “I... I got too excited. Could you put
me down?”
When she was a child, she would lunge herself into her father’s and brother's
embrace whenever she got excited. Jasper frowned and stared at her, asking,
“Do you always jump into a man’s arms when you're excited?” He wondered if
she would've done the same if he weren't the one standing here right now.
Willow giggled and replied, “Not always! It's just that when I was little, I would
always ask my dad and brother for hugs. Apart from them, you're the third
person.” Hearing her words, Jasper huffed and said, “There will be a fourth
person, then.”
Willow was startled and asked, “Are you jealous?” Jasper was dumbfounded and
quickly looked the other way. “No!” His voice was slightly hoarse. Willow smiled
and patted his shoulder. “It's fine. I promise I won't ever hug another man.”
Jasper glanced at her without saying a word. To comfort him, Willow crossed her
fingers and swore, “I swear.” A hint of amusement appeared at the corner of
Jasper’s lips, but he managed to suppress his laughter. He held her hand and
said, “Don’t make promises so easily next time.”
Seeing that he finally smiled, Willow was happy as well. Then, she said, “Let's
split up and search nearby. The ancient tomb might be around here somewhere.”
Just as she was about to walk away, Jasper grabbed her hand. “No. Let's search
together.”
“Okay!” Willow smiled. The area was full of scattered rocks, making it challenging
to find a tomb that could be over two thousand years old. However, Willow forced
herself to be patient and continued searching. After two hours of searching, she
felt disappointed because she found no traces of the tomb..
