（27）

In the past few days, Zhao Lingwei has been running around, and she has not rested. Now when she saw this bed, she felt more and more sleepy, and she could not sit still for a moment, so she turned off the light and slept with her clothes.

In the haze, I heard someone knocking on the door, accompanied by a commotion. She woke up suddenly, sat up, pricked up her ears and listened, it turned out to be Yu Wenlei shouting to herself outside.

Zhao Lingwei put on her shoes and got up to open the door. I saw Yu Wenlei standing at the door, looking anxious, Qiuyue's father and mother carried an oil lamp, followed behind, looking dazed.

"Brother Lei, what's going on?" Zhao Lingwei knew that Yu Wenlei was young and old, and he would not do such a reckless thing for no reason.

"Time is in a hurry, I don't have time to elaborate, you come with me quickly!" Then he turned to Qiuyue's father and asked, "Uncle, please tell me the location of the village cemetery, I have to go now!"

The other three were all taken aback, and Qiu Yueniang preemptively said: "Yuwen Gongzi, it's already late, didn't you say that you would ...... tomorrow"

Zhao Lingwei was smart and clever, and guessed that the reason why Yu Wenlei said this must be that there must be a reason to go, so she said: "Grandpa, Grandma, you just need to tell us the location, I think it is because Brother Lei has made a major discovery, so he must rush over now." ”

The old man couldn't, so he had to say: "The grave forest in our Zhangqiao Village is under the slope of more than five miles north of the village, and there is an old locust forest there. ”

I only heard a "swoop", Yu Wenlei and Zhao Lingwei were no longer in the courtyard, and then Yu Wenlei's voice came from a distance: "The two old men go back to the house early to rest, we are really in a hurry, we will leave first, and there will be a period later!"

Qiu Yue's father looked at all this in front of him, dumbfounded, speechless, he pondered for a long time before he gradually came to his senses. The eldest lady and Yuwen Gongzi came here by no means as they said, they made a special trip to visit their old couple for their daughter Qiuyue, there should be other important things, maybe it was related to the disappearance of the coffin in Zhangqiao Village. It seems that the water in this is so deep, and it is definitely not something that the common people can handle.

Thinking of this, he beckoned his wife and went back to the house to rest. Qiu Yueniang handed over the silver that Zhao Lingwei put on the table to the old man, and said, "This is the silver that our daughter asked the eldest lady to bring, you have taken it." ”

Qiuyue's father only glanced at it, and then said with a smile: "This ingot of silver, even if our daughter doesn't eat or drink, she will save for ten years. It seems that it should be the eldest lady who came to visit, Qiu Yue didn't know about it, presumably the things here have a great relationship with Anping Mansion. ”

The two of them raised the lamp and went back to the house to rest, but pressed it without mentioning it.

However, it was said that Yu Wenlei and Zhao Lingwei passed through the village and went all the way to the north, just like two meteors, passing by in an instant. Zhao Lingwei asked as she walked: "Brother Lei, what did you discover, you are so anxious to go to this graveyard to check." ”

Yu Wenlei's face was solemn, like a crystal stone at this time, faintly revealing a coldness. He thought for a while, and then said in a muffled voice: "After noon, we rushed here, and when we took a boat on the Tuozi River, you went to Chaogong to inquire about the location of Zhangqiao Village on the way. I sat in the cabin very bored, and when I happened to look out, I saw a small boat passing by. At the time, I thought the boat was very strange, but I couldn't tell what it was strange for a while. Later, your unintentional words made me fall into deep thought. But now it's all figured out. ”

Zhao Lingwei turned her head and said, "Yes, you were really distressed at that time, I said something unintentionally, which touched your mind. I'm still curious about what I said at that time that would make you think for a long time. ”

Yu Wenlei did not directly reveal the mystery, but continued to say on his own: "Don't worry, listen to me." All of this, just now in the grocery room of Qiuyue's house, I finally figured it out, and it all made sense.

At that time, the small boat that passed by on the opposite side had a very deep draft, and I only remembered later what you said on the boat, which was: Shipment...... Living. Since there were no other living people on the ship at that time, except for the captain, it should have been a pretending to be a dead man.

The cabin should be filled with a coffin, a coffin from this bridge village. Because the funeral customs of this bridge village are different from the surrounding villages, the coffins are directly hollowed out with logs, and then the dead are put in, and finally the outside is smeared with black paint. At Qiuyue's house, when I accompanied my uncle and aunt to clean up the sundries, I saw exactly the same, but the logs that had not yet been painted.

String these together to push them out, and those two captains drove a small boat to steal the coffin from this Zhangqiao Village, take the waterway, and transport it back to Anping City, to be exact, it is very likely to be Anping Mansion!"

When Zhao Lingwei heard this, she thundered like thunder, and said in a trembling voice: "What you said is the truth? If this is the case, it is no wonder that Xiangyun said at the time that the wood she saw was all coffins. ”

Yu Wenlei nodded and said: "Think about it, a few days ago, you saw a servant carrying wood to the backyard of Anping Mansion, and you thought it was your father who was building a lot of construction, so you didn't take it seriously." Later, Xiangyun reported to you that the wood was a pair of coffins, and the ones who could make the coffins like wood should be these Huawai villages. Deep mountains and dense forests, primitive and backward, most of the burials should be the same as this Zhangqiao Village. It is estimated that the coffin was also made of logs, and it is possible that the paint was not even applied, otherwise you might have been suspicious when you saw Kuroki at that time. ”

Zhao Lingwei nodded: "What I did see at that time was unpainted wood, not the so-called coffin." ”

Yu Wenlei said: "That's it, the dead are in the wood." It is estimated that Xiang Yun later inadvertently saw someone take something out of it, which should be able to prove that it was something that only the dead had. That's why she whispered to you that the wood was a coffin. But she shouldn't have seen it clearly, so she was vague later. ”

"Maybe your father has noticed that someone is secretly investigating the backyard dungeon, but I think it's more likely that all the eligible coffins near Anping City have been found, but the number is still not enough, or some other reason. So he went into the shadows and took the opportunity to expand the scope of the search. Later, they found this bridge village, but unfortunately it was heard by Qiu Yue, and this reached your ears.

Now they are so bold that they dare to come here to rob the tomb during the day, and it seems that they have reached the point of imminence, but it is a pity that we have missed it in person, otherwise we can ask for clarification when they are caught. I think what is certain is that your father went to great lengths to find this type of coffin, and he definitely had an ulterior motive. Your previous worries were not unfounded. ”

Listening to Yu Wenlei say these shocking words word by word, Zhao Lingwei was in a cold sweat and speechless.

As they spoke, the two of them reached the outer edge of the graveyard. Yu Wenlei took out the Lone Fire Talisman and injected it with True Qi, and the talisman ignited in the air. Immediately he walked in front of him and led the way, walking towards the forest, Zhao Lingwei was preoccupied, following behind, what his father and brother did was like the dark woods in front of him, thinking about it repeatedly, and he didn't know the clue.

The two of them walked in the forest for a long time, one foot deep and one shallow, and occasionally startled a jackdaw and swept overhead. Zhao Lingwei was already upset, and this jackdaw made her extremely angry. Suddenly, she shook the moon aya, and the red silk suddenly skyrocketed a few feet, directly wrapped the jackdaw, and then threw it with her backhand and threw it out of the forest. The jackdaw was dumb and screamed and fluttered towards the distant sky, and the arrow flew away.

"Here we are, here it is. Yu Wenlei walked in front and suddenly stopped. He held aloft the Lone Fire Talisman and slowly expanded his True Qi into the talisman, and the flame suddenly brightened several times, making the ground illuminate as if it were day.

Zhao Lingwei flashed up from behind, she stepped on the mound of dirt and looked towards the pit. I saw that the pit was empty, and there were footprints trampled on by the villagers everywhere.

Yu Wenlei threw the lone fire talisman into the air, and the talisman paper actually stopped in the air, not up or down. When he had done this, he jumped into the pit, looked around the pit, and touched the wall with his hand. Finally, he looked at the messy dirt around him before jumping up. While patting the dirt and sand on his body with his hand, he said to Zhao Lingwei: "Let's go." ”

Zhao Lingwei had been standing aside from just now, watching him busy below. Suddenly, I heard him say that he was leaving, and subconsciously asked, "Have you found out the clue?"

"I've got a little bit of an eyebrow, let's talk as we go. But I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with Anping City tonight, and now it would be nice if I had two wind control talismans. Yu Wenlei said lightly. Then he collected the Lone Fire Talisman, and the woods were instantly plunged into darkness again.

"So what should we do now?" Zhao Lingwei then asked.

"In my opinion, we should go back to Qiuyue's house for the time being, and we will go to the Tuozi River early tomorrow morning to stop the boat and rush back to Anping City. Things have come to this point, and you can only resign yourself to fate, I hope your father and brother really don't do anything hurtful as you said. ”

The two of them rushed back silently, and on the way, Zhao Lingwei opened her mouth several times before she mustered up the courage to ask: "Brother Lei, what did you see in that grave just now, is my father and brother really doing something that does not see people?"

Yu Wenlei said indifferently: "It won't be a good thing to disturb the dead." Just now I saw that the pit was very flat around it, and there was not the slightest trace of digging. Presumably, the coffin should have been dragged out of the pit, you know that the coffin weighs no less than a thousand catties, so the person who digs the coffin here is definitely a master, and it can't be done by the two captains who met during the day.

Therefore, it should be this person who dug up the coffin, then took it to the Tuozi River, and handed it over to the captain, who then transported it back to Anping City. ”

After listening to Yu Wenlei's reasoning, Zhao Lingwei came to her senses: "Could it be that the person who dug up the coffin here during the day is my eldest brother? Could it be that he is usually responsible for digging graves and digging graves, and then someone else will bring them back to Anping Mansion. If it was really my eldest brother, with his means, even if he met the people in the village during the day, he would easily avoid it. ”

"It's possible, but it's all about tomorrow. When we go to the dungeon in your backyard and see those coffins, we will naturally see what happens. Now you have to calm down, don't let the wind leak. Yu Wenlei comforted her.

The two returned to Qiuyue's house while talking, and Qiuyue's parents saw that the eldest lady and Yu Wenlei were going and coming back, so they hurriedly came up to ask for warmth. The two smiled faintly, found a reason to send the second elder away, and went back to the house to rest and recuperate.

At dawn the next day, Yu Wenlei and Zhao Lingwei stood by the Tuozi River waiting for the boat to return to the city. After a long time, Fang saw a small boat slowly rowing from the direction of Fenglai Town.

Zhao Lingwei was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted to the captain: "Hey, boatman, it's good to take us back to Anping City, I'll pay you double the Sichuan capital." ”

The captain smiled happily, nodded and said, "Girl, wait a minute." I went to ask the guests in the tent and saw if he said it would be okay, he had chartered the boat, and he had the final say. With that, he went into the cabin.

Zhao Lingwei stood on the shore and said angrily: "Today is okay, you have to do it, you have to do it, you have to do it." I'm seated in this boat, Miss Ben!"

Yu Wenlei comforted: "Don't worry, we still have time." This one can't work, it's a big deal to wait for the next one. I will definitely be able to rush back to Anping City today. ”

While the two were talking, the captain came out of the tent and said with a smile: "Good luck for the two of you, the guests inside have agreed to go together, and I will row them over for you." ”

As he spoke, he rowed a small boat and slowly approached the shore. As soon as she arrived at the shore, Zhao Lingwei jumped up with an arrow, and Yu Wenlei followed and got on the boat.

The captain said: "The wind is cold in the morning, please go and sit inside, let's go." Then he took the penny and set it on the riverbank, and the boat sprang away.

Hearing this, Zhao Lingwei lifted the curtain and went in, and heard her exclaim: "It's you!"
