Chapter Eighty-Eight: Finding the Urn

The further this fork in the road went, the darker the light became, and after turning a corner, it was already difficult to see the five fingers of the hand, and there was no difference between opening and closing the eyes.

At this time, the role of the laughing wolf is fully revealed.

Concentrating on the sound of its footsteps, which were smaller than the sound of rain, Si Huayue and Wu Songshen moved forward one foot at a time.

Before coming, Li Zicheng told Si Huayue that after turning a corner, he walked straight for about ten minutes, and then turned on the flashlight.

Look for a door obscured by vines between the branches on the right.

Once you enter this door, there is a tunnel, and you can go up the tunnel to the columbarium.

Silently calculating the time in his heart, he estimated that it was almost the same, and found that the laughing wolf had stopped.

When Si Huayue turned on the flashlight, there was no longer any need to look for it, and the exact location where the laughing wolf was standing was the exact location of the door.

She did not rush to lift the vines that coiled around the door, for she knew that the Madahar brothers were not on the same path as her.

The vines in front of him clearly showed signs of being pulled and moved, and the marks were very new, because they could be distinguished by the rain on the leaves.

This means that someone has been here not long ago.

Removing the vines, he found that the door was just hidden, and the lock that Li Zicheng said was gone.

Si Huayue and Wu Song looked at each other, and they both had the same questions and worries in their hearts.

The question is, are the people who enter through this door friend or foe?

The worry is, if you go in now, when you come out, will this door be locked from the outside?

This is an iron door, which can be broken open by non-brute force, and even if it can be broken, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not alarm the soldiers outside.

Now that we've come here, we can only go as planned, and take one step at a time.

Thinking of this, Wu Song Xiansi Huayue pushed open the door step by step.

With a piercing sound of metal rubbing, the door opened one by one, and the inside was so dark that it seemed to enter Huangquan Road.

Wu Song leaned in and listened, and made sure that there was no abnormality in the door, so he should enter first.

After the two of them went in, Si Huayue's flashlight was not turned off, and there was no need to turn it off again, because it had been confirmed that there were no soldiers patrolling here.

This tunnel was very long and rudimentary, and the width was only large enough for one person to pass upright, and even the laughing wolf could not advance in parallel with Si Huayue.

Si Huayue wondered how the families who sent the ashes in the first place walked in and out of here one by one?

The unimpeded journey to the other end of the tunnel was so smooth that Si Huayue was a little suspicious that tonight's operation would fail.

There is no door at this end of the tunnel, but under the high wall directly north of the columbarium, diagonally opposite the backyard door of the columbarium.

As soon as Si Huayue and the others appeared, two tapping sounds were heard in the headset, indicating that the Madahar brothers who were hiding in the shadows had seen them.

Wu Song didn't move, he looked around and listened intently.

The rain gradually subsided, the wind became stronger, and there was a depression in all directions.

Si Huayue tapped the headset twice.

Two sounds mean no situation, one sound means there is a situation, and three sounds mean that the situation is critical.

The last time he came, Si Huayue was following the laughing wolf to climb the dog hole, and he only knew that there was a front door, but he didn't know that there was a back door here.

The back door is a single-leaf wooden door, and the paint on the door shimmers under the rain.

The door was closed, and Si Huayue stepped forward and pushed it, as if it was latched inside and couldn't be opened.

She wanted to go through the front door, because she and Gu Yi had removed the front door panel that night.

Just as he was about to say to Wu Song beside him, the laughing wolf suddenly let out a low whimper, and a tapping sound came from Wu Song and Si Huayue's headsets.

There is a case.

Si Huayue hurriedly calmed the laughing wolf and prevented it from howling inappropriately and alarming the surrounding garrisons.

Wu Song took Si Huayue's arm and led her to re-enter the mouth of the tunnel, hiding on the edge of the tunnel and listening to the movement outside.

A sound of footsteps came from far and near, and from the sound of footsteps landing on the ground, it was the sound of big scalp shoes, and you could guess that it was a patrol soldier without looking.

Si Huayue looked out.

Three patrol soldiers, wearing military raincoats and carrying spears, were passing by the front door, and they were walking in the direction of the bamboo forest.

After waiting for a while, when those people walked away, Si Huayue and Wu Song came out of the tunnel.

Walking through the front door was obviously a bit risky, and Wu Song would also realize it, and he took out a dagger from the tool bag he was carrying.

This dagger is specially made, the blade is very thin, and it is very sharp, it does not look like a dagger, but rather a larger version of a scalpel.

The knife poked through the crack in the door, pulled the deadbolt open little by little, and with a slight "burst", the door opened.

Wu Song listened to the door again, and after making sure it was safe, he dodged in.

Si Huayue and Laughing Sky Wolf followed.

After entering, there is a corridor that connects east and west, and in front of the corridor is the columbarium with a total of 18 bungalows.

Since Si Huayue had been here before, she pulled Wu Song and whispered in his ear: "I've been here, I'll lead the way." ”

Then, Si Huayue bent down and said to the laughing wolf: "You obediently guard the door here, if someone comes, you will call, but only once." ”

It doesn't matter if the laughing wolf can understand it all, at least he knows that he has understood one meaning, which is to watch the door.

Si Huayue took Wu Song along the corridor to the east, because she remembered that day in the easternmost room she found that the candles inside were different, and she wanted to take another look.

Anyway, if you want to find Li Qinghe's ashes tonight, you have to look for them from room to house, so it's better to start looking for them directly from the first room in Dongshou.

Before coming, the plan they agreed on was that Si Huayue was immune to the virus, she was responsible for entering the room to find the ashes, and Wu Song was at the door to let the wind out.

Walking around to the door of that room, Si Huayue found that the door was actually locked, and then looked at the next one, which was also locked.

Si Huayue has a magic key, which was given by Si Huacheng, just to prevent the need to open the lock during the operation.

With the key in hand, Si Huayue smashed the door open with a few clicks.

After entering, Si Huayue did not turn on the flashlight, but turned on the watch, the fluorescence on the watch was enough for her to see the words on the urn, and once someone passed by outside, it was easy not to notice the slightest glimmer.

The layout and furnishings of the room were the same as when Si Huayue came that night, the candles were still there, but they had long been stiffened.

Si Huayue took down the candle, put it in the plastic bag he carried with him, sealed it, and threw it into his waist bag.

Then, she began to raise her wrist to search row by row on the urn.

Most of the photos on the urn are black and white, and when illuminated by the light of Si Huayue's watch, it looks ghostly.

There are three or five hundred urns in this room, which is a big project, and Si Huayue is a little suspicious that she alone may not be able to find all eighteen rooms if she finds the light of day.

When she found the second row, suddenly, her eyes were drawn to an urn.

The photo on this urn is of an old lady with buckteeth, the name on it is a little blurred, it looks like "Cong Hualing", and there are no sacrifices on the small table in front of the urn, obviously abandoned or the children and grandchildren are gone.

What attracted Si Huayue's attention was that there were two clear handprints on this urn.

There is often less dust on the urn where descendants come to worship, and the dust on this urn is very thick.

Judging by the freshness of the mudra, it seems that it has only been touched in the past two days, or just now.

Reminding the location of the old lady's urn, Si Huayue continued to look down.

Just when she thought she had to enter the second or third room, in the corner of the last row, she saw a white ceramic urn with the name of Li Qinghe.
