12. Human bones in the soil
12. Human bones in the soil
The young man laughed, "That's a faux pas." My name is Liu Yi, and I was originally a personal soldier under General Han, but because I was injured on the battlefield, General Han took me back to the capital and settled down. What about you?"
"Chill...... Wu Ya...... My name is Wu Ya. Han Moyu suddenly thought that since the Liu Yi in front of him was his father's soldier, if he said his real name, his identity would inevitably be exposed. Her mind turned, and she suddenly took up her nickname, so she made up a fake name for herself.
She smiled as she took out a piece of broken silver from her arms and stuffed it into Liu Yi's hand: "Brother Liu, since we are all here on errands, I still have a lot of things to rely on in the future!"
"That's natural. Liu Yi smiled, but pushed the silver back and pressed it into Han Moyu's palm: "Since you call me big brother, I can help you, so I will naturally do my best." I don't think you look like a person who can have much money a month, so it's better to keep it for yourself, and it's good to have a rainy day. I know how delicate these mandala flowers are, and if you can't save them, you'll be beaten by the board. If you keep some money for yourself, you may be able to use it when you encounter any difficulties. ”
When Han Moyu heard this, his eyes were hot, and he lowered his head and said, "Brother Liu, you are so good." ”
Liu Yi laughed heartily and opened the wooden door of the flower garden for Han Moyu. Han Moyu glanced sideways that one of Liu Yi's sleeves was empty, waving in the wind.
"Scissors, shovels, anthers and other items are in the little hut next to it, and you can take it yourself if you want to use it. And also. This garden is open every hour and closed every day. You remember not to forget the hour. I'll open and close the garden on time, don't let you get locked inside. Liu Yi said.
"I know, thank you, Brother Liu. Han Moyu smiled at Liu Yi, and then ran to the small hut to look for tools.
Little by little, the sun was rising. Although it was a sunny day, Han Moyu was still freezing and rubbing his hands. She grabbed the shovel and loosened the soil for the flowers, pruned the destroyed flowers and leaves, and reloaded the crooked flowers.
That's it. She cleaned them up one by one. Tired and sweating. After doing it for so long, she didn't feel cold anymore, but her whole body was hot. She reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and shoveled it down again. Suddenly, I felt the shovel touch something hard in the dirt.
She was a little confused. A few more shovels. It felt like something was down there, hard as a stone. She hurriedly cut the soil open and dug it deeper.
Soon. There was a mound of dirt around him, and Han Moyu saw something peeking out of the soil, but it was covered with dirt and couldn't see it clearly.
Curious, she reached out, pinched the object, and pulled it out. A piece of snow-white bone clinging to rotting flesh was pulled out, the open finger bone at one end stiffened, but still held a position. Han Moyu was stunned. After a moment, she screamed in horror, dropped her shovel, and ran towards the wooden door of the flower garden.
Liu Yi heard the voice, and hurriedly ran in, while holding Han Moyu firmly, he looked around, but he didn't see anything abnormal: "What's wrong?
Han Moyu rushed behind Liu Yi, grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, screamed uncontrollably, and couldn't say a complete sentence in a trembling voice.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yi frowned, "What can scare you like this?" When I put the sword on your neck just now, you didn't see a panic like this, it was so funny to look stupid at that moment, I thought you wouldn't be afraid......" Liu Yi said, Ren Hanmo was holding on to himself, while listening carefully to Hanmo's intermittent words, he vaguely heard the word dirt.
"What's in the soil?" Liu Yi asked with a frown.
Han Mo Yu trembled.
Liu Yi pushed Han Moyu away, and walked towards the center of the flower garden with his sword, while looking back at Han Moyu's eyes. He saw Han Moyu glance at a certain place, and quickly turned his head, and in his heart he was puzzled, walked to the land, and looked down at the things on the ground.
What caught my eye was a human bone, not yet fully decomposed, covered in a blur of flesh and blood.
He stretched out his sword, carefully picked up the bone, looked at it, put it down again, and said, "It should not be a few days after he died." Although the flesh and blood were blurred, the contours of the skin were still clear. Has anything happened in Hanfu lately, or has anyone died?" he asked, turning his head.
Han Moyu thought for a moment and shook his head.
"You go back and have a good rest first, and I will report this matter to General Han. Liu Yi said solemnly.
……
The back garden of Xi Zhaoju suddenly became lively. Han Moyu quietly stood behind General Han Yujue, looking at the busy crowd in the garden. From beginning to end, General Han Yujue had a gloomy face and did not say a word. Han Moyu was a little uneasy in his heart.
The servants were busy, carefully digging up the mandala flowers from the soil around the land where the human bones were found, and transplanting them into pots. Then they took up their shovels and dug up the cleared open space in the flower bed.
At this time, Mrs. Han came in a hurry, and she shouted angrily at the people who were working, "Stop it for me!" Then she turned her head to look at General Han Yujue, and asked softly: "General, what are you doing here? Isn't this your favorite flower garden? How can you let people waste it like this?"
General Han Yujue said softly to Mrs. Han: "Madam, don't worry about these things, okay? It's dirty here, you still don't want to join in the fun, okay? Come on, send Madame back to the house to rest!" As soon as he finished speaking, several guards came over and said to Mrs. Han: "Madam, please go back to the house and rest!"
Madame Han stopped talking, looked at the guards who surrounded her, and walked away with her sleeves in hatred.
"Your Excellency, another human bone has been found!" shouted one of the servants, who picked it up with pliers and placed it in a large iron plate covered with gauze.
A servant beckoned to the guards who were overseering around him, and then the guard walked over, and the two exchanged words, and the guard walked quickly towards General Han Yujue, and reported: "General, everyone has found human bones at the edge of that clearing, but if you continue to dig, you may hurt the flowers next to you." ”
General Han Yujue frowned and said, "Expand the scope of the search." When necessary, the mandala root can be removed from the whole garden. Put the mandala aside first and concentrate on the search. (To be continued......)
