Chapter 389: Digging the Grave
In the evening, Tang Xiaosheng and Hu Niu went to the mountain north of Baiyang Village, and found a grave in a hidden place halfway up the mountain. The grave is overgrown with weeds, and on the top of the grave stands a tombstone less than half a meter high, without any writing on it, which looks very desolate.
According to the two elders in the village, Tian Bo and Wang Bo, this grave halfway up the mountain is the burial place of the little girl who drowned in the lake more than ten years ago.
After finding the little girl's grave, Tang Xiaosheng did not stay on the mountain for too long, and soon went down the mountain with the tiger girl and returned to his home in Baiyang Village.
When they got home, Tang's mother had already prepared dinner, and the family ate together.
While eating, Tang Xiaosheng had been secretly thinking about the little girl's grave. After eating his fill, he finally made a decision - he wanted to go up the mountain tonight to dig the little girl's grave.
More than ten years ago, Tang Xiaosheng thought that the little girl was dead. It's just that after so many strange things happened, especially after learning that Xiaolongnu had crossed over to the little girl, Tang Xiaosheng felt that the little girl was obviously not an ordinary person, and there were too many doubts in her that could not be inferred by common sense.
Before, after Tang Xiaosheng found out that Lin Meimei liked to eat instant noodles since she was a child, and seemed to know very well about the little girl, he once suspected that the little girl might not be dead, and even suspected that Lin Meimei was a little girl.
Of course, this suspicion cannot be supported by enough evidence at all, and the possibility is very small, but Tang Xiaosheng does not want to take it lightly because of this, nor does he want to let go of any opportunity to find out the truth.
Because this matter is very important, the little girl has too many secrets, and she is very likely to have a very close relationship with the occurrence of the crossing phenomenon.
For example, the little dragon girl once crossed over to the little girl when she was eight years old. Later, she crossed back into the martial arts world of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which undoubtedly revealed a very important information - the soul that travels to the 21st century can travel back to the martial arts world, Xiaolongnu is an example.
It's just that the current little dragon girl can't remember how she crossed back when she was eight years old, and she can't remember how the little girl was drowned back then, so the method of crossing the martial arts world is unknown for the time being. And the only clue can only be found from the little girl.
And because of this, after finding the grave of the little girl. After some consideration, Tang Xiaosheng decided to dig her grave. On the one hand, it is to determine whether the little girl is really dead and buried; On the other hand, I also hope to find some clues through this.
Of course, digging up graves is a very immoral thing after all, about that. Tang Xiaosheng naturally knew it in his heart. Just to find out the truth, he felt the need to give it a try.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Tang Xiaosheng decided to wait until late tonight to sneak up the mountain and dig the little girl's grave.
After learning that Tang Xiaosheng was going to dig a grave, it was not difficult for Xiaolongnu to understand why he did this, and out of curiosity, she decided to accompany Tang Xiaosheng up the mountain tonight. After all, her soul had been in the little girl's body for a while. She also wanted to know the truth.

A little late at night.
Tang's father and Tang's mother had already fallen asleep, and Tang Xiaosheng and Xiaolongnu decided to start acting. After finding a hoe and a shovel from home, the two quietly left the house together and headed to the mountains with their tools.
Baiyang Village is very quiet in the middle of the night, and most of the people in the village are asleep. This is a good opportunity for Tang Xiaosheng and Xiaolongnu to dig graves. In order to be in a hurry, the two of them performed light skills and went up the mountain at full speed in less than two minutes. They arrived at the grave of the little girl halfway up the mountain.
Since today is the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there is no moonlight, and the light on the mountain is very dim, a little difficult to see, so the little dragon girl held a flashlight as a lighting device.
Then, by the light of the faint flashlight, Tang Xiaosheng picked up the hoe and began to dig the little girl's grave.
Tang Xiaosheng also did something like digging a grave for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, this thing is related to dead people, and most people are inevitably a little jealous.
Especially after learning that there were traversers in this world, Tang Xiaosheng basically stopped believing in science, and no longer felt that foreign objects such as ghosts and zombies were nonsense.
Therefore, when digging the grave, he was also a little cautious in his heart, and he always felt that his back was cold. Fortunately, he was quite bold, and after he settled down, he began to dig graves with a hoe.
Because the mountains are relatively hard, if ordinary people use hoes to dig graves, I am afraid it will take a lot of time, and Tang Xiaosheng's internal strength is extremely deep, when digging graves, the true qi of the Northern Darkness is constantly running in his body, and at the same time, he also performs the "Great Shift of Qiankun" in his hands, so the efficiency of digging graves is several times higher than that of ordinary people.
In less than half an hour, Tang Xiaosheng had already dug a pit more than one meter deep at the grave of the little girl, but he found nothing in the pit, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Strange, why is there nothing in this grave?" ”
The little dragon girl on the side analyzed: "After that, could it be that the little girl was buried deeper?" You should dig a little deeper. ”
At this point, there was no other choice, so Tang Xiaosheng continued to dig the grave with a hoe.
It didn't take long for the depth of the tomb to be nearly two meters, and the area of the pit had doubled, and Tang Xiaosheng's whole person was already trapped in the grave, but unfortunately, nothing was found.
Although the little girl has been dead for more than ten years, it is impossible for her bones to completely disappear from the grave. In that case, why have you dug a two-meter-deep pit in the grave, but you still don't see her bones?
Tang Xiaosheng felt that this matter was a little strange, and in order to find out, he did not stop there, but continued to dig the grave.
Until about four o'clock in the morning, Tang Xiaosheng had dug the little girl's grave to a depth of more than three meters, but the result was a great disappointment to him.
After such a toss, Tang Xiaosheng couldn't help but have a question in his heart: Could it be that he was cheated? Didn't the little girl actually be buried here?
However, when I think about it, I think this is unlikely. Because the little girl was buried here, it was said by Tian Bo and Wang Bo in the village, both of them are more famous elders in the village. Among them, Tian Bo is also the village chief of Baiyang Village, and he is very simple, and it is unlikely that he will talk nonsense.
And if Uncle Tian and Uncle Wang didn't lie, why couldn't they find the bones of the little girl?
"Come on, could it be that the little girl is not dead at all?" At this time, the little dragon girl suddenly said.
Tang Xiaosheng didn't doubt it so much, but he also had his own questions: "If the little girl didn't die, why did Tian Bo and Uncle Wang set up this tomb for her?" ”
The little dragon girl thought about it, and she didn't have a clue for a while.
When talking about this. It's almost five o'clock in the morning, and it's almost dawn. Tang Xiaosheng picked up the shovel and began to refill the soil dug out of the grave into the grave, otherwise, if the people in the village found out that the grave on the mountain had been dug up tomorrow. I'm afraid it will make the entire Baiyang Village panic.
After filling in the big pit dug out, Tang Xiaosheng went down the mountain with Xiaolongnu and returned home to rest.
At noon the next day, after waking up, Tang Xiaosheng specially went to find Uncle Tian and Uncle Wang in the village, who were about to celebrate the New Year, which was regarded as a New Year's greeting to the two elders. However, the purpose of Tang Xiaosheng's trip was actually to ask them about the little girl.
In the past. The people in the village are relatively taboo about the little girl, and few people mention it, and even if someone asks, those in the know are reluctant to disclose it. Because most people think that the little girl is ghosted, and she seems to be an abandoned baby. The origin is unknown, there is no name and no surname, giving people a sense of foremin.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Xiaosheng has been in the past ten years. I have never been able to learn from the people in the village about the burial of the little girl.
Now, though, it's a different story.
In the past two years, Tang Xiaosheng has donated millions of yuan to Baiyang Village, and almost everyone in the village has received his favor and is grateful to him. Even elders like Tian Bo and Wang Bo will give Tang Xiaosheng a few thin noodles.
So, when Tang Xiaosheng asked about the little girl, Tian Bo and Wang Bo did not hide it anymore, but told the ins and outs of the matter truthfully.
According to Tian Bo and Wang Bo, in the early morning of more than ten years ago, Tian Bo was going to work in the fields, but halfway through, he unexpectedly found the body of a little girl floating by the lake.
After discovering the body, Tian Bo immediately called Wang Bo and several other villagers from Baiyang Village, and after some discussion, everyone decided to bury the little girl on the mountainside. So, after fishing the little girl's body out of the lake, Tian Bo, Wang Bo and several young and strong villagers in the village came to the mountain, dug a pit less than two meters deep, and then buried the little girl on the spot.
Since everyone did not know the name and identity of the little girl, there was no written explanation on the tombstone.
After burying the little girl, Tian Bo, Wang Bo and others all went down the mountain. Since then, no one has talked about it again, as if nothing had happened.
After listening to the introductions of Tian Bo and Wang Bo, Tang Xiaosheng also specially asked several people who participated in the excavation of the little girl's tomb for verification, and the results all received positive answers.
Most of the people in Baiyang Village are farmers who grew up under the mountains, they are simple by nature and kind-hearted, especially people like Tian Bo and Wang Bo, it is impossible to lie, and there is no need to lie.
In this way, the little girl's drowning should be true; The burial of the little girl should also be true.
It's just that Tang Xiaosheng didn't find the bones of the little girl in the grave, which is also true.
When these two things are combined, the situation is obviously a bit abnormal.
Since the little girl is dead, why can't she find the bones? Since the little dragon girl has crossed over to the little girl, why will she cross the martial arts world later?
Similar questions began to swirl in Tang Xiaosheng's mind. It's just that bizarre questions like this can't be answered by thinking at all. However, there is one person who may be able to help solve these mysteries, and that person is the little dragon girl. If Xiaolongnu can remember her memories when she was eight years old, she may know what happened to the little girl back then.
In order to help Xiaolongnu recover her memory, in the next few days, Tang Xiaosheng took Xiaolongnu to the room at the foot of the mountain every day to simulate what he and the little girl had done back then. For example, watching TV together, playing games together, chatting together, and eating instant noodles together.
In the process, there have been mixed blessings, both good news and bad news.
The good news is that the little dragon girl does slowly recall some memories about the little girl. The bad news is that these memories that the little dragon girl recalls do not include what happened on the night of the little girl's accident.
During this period, Xiaolongnu also discovered another strange thing, she found several footprints in the house at the foot of the mountain, and after analysis, these footprints should have been left by a woman. Almost no one in Baiyang Village would go to that house, so Xiaolongnu felt that the footprints of these women were very suspicious, and tried to find this woman.
However, Tang Xiaosheng was relatively calm about this matter, because he felt that these footprints should be left by Ren Yingying. When Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu and others returned to Baiyang Village for the New Year, Ren Yingying also followed them to Baiyang Village.
Just to hide people's eyes, Ren Yingying used the disguise technique to change her appearance and was not discovered.
The reason why Ren Yingying came to Baiyang Village was naturally to find out about the little girl. She had already heard Tang Xiaosheng introduce the house at the foot of the mountain before, and she would definitely go to the house when she came to Baiyang Village this time.
Therefore, Tang Xiaosheng felt that the footprints of these women left in the house should have been left by Ren Yingying.
Xiaolongnu didn't know that Ren Yingying also came to Baiyang Village, so she had more doubts about these footprints and secretly wanted to find out the truth.
In addition to Xiaolongnu, Tang Xiaosheng also encouraged Xiao Huang Rong and Guo Xiang to play in the house at the foot of the mountain every day. Unfortunately, both of them reacted very indifferently to this room, and there was no special reaction. Guo Xiang just used his DV camera to film the situation in the house, and then left the house. As for Xiao Huang Rong, she seems to have no interest in the house, she prefers to play in the grass at the foot of the mountain and by the lake.
Tang Xiaosheng was a little suspicious in his heart that Guo Xiang and Huang Rong might not have crossed over to the little girl.
In this way, time passed day by day, and before I knew it, it was already the tenth day of the first month, Tang Xiaosheng had been at home for more than ten days, and the year had already passed. Since Guo Xiang and Xiao Huang Rong were about to start school, Tang Xiaosheng decided to send them back to Jinghua City. In addition, he himself has to go back to Dream House Film and Television Company and Kung Fu School.
However, Xiaolongnu did not plan to return to Jinghua City with Tang Xiaosheng, but planned to continue to stay in Baiyang Village. She wanted to spend more time in the room at the bottom of the mountain, hoping to recover more memories of the little girl. Because she knew that the matter of Lu Dao was very important to Tang Xiaosheng, not to mention, she herself also wanted to know the truth of the matter of Lu Dao.
So, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, only Tang Xiaosheng, Guo Xiang, Xiao Huangrong and Tang Xiaoyu went to Jinghua City together, and Xiaolongnu continued to stay in Baiyang Village.
After riding for nearly ten hours, Tang Xiaosheng, Guo Xiang and others finally returned to their homes in Jiayuan Community, Jinghua City. After arriving, Tang Xiaosheng began to think about another thing in his heart - filming "A Chinese Ghost Story". (To be continued.) )
