Chapter 625: The Gravedigger in the Dead of Night

Yue Ying has always said very little in front of others, and over the years, the sum of what he and others have said may not be as good as what he said to Old Lady Yue or Yue Qianqiu for a day. At this moment, in the face of Yue Qianqiu's two consecutive questions, he sighed, and then said lightly: "Originally, the old lady should have told you these things, but the matter came by coincidence, so I could only tell you first." ”

"Uncle Ying, you said it was the same as Grandpa said. Who doesn't know that you are like a shadow of grandpa, and grandpa is like one! ”

Hearing Yue Qianqiu's unthinking answer, Yue Ying's brows stretched slightly. He sorted out his thoughts and sentences, but did not put down Yue Qianqiu behind him, but continued to walk in the cemetery in the middle of the night with him on his back.

At this time, the moon in the sky was hidden in the deep clouds, and it was dark all around, and the combination of the inherently gloomy aura and cold wind in the cemetery was enough to make the faint-hearted scream. Yue Ying was naturally never afraid of this environment, but when he heard that Yue Qianqiu's breathing behind him was not so even, he opened his mouth and asked, "What, are you afraid?" There are real mass graves and ghost fires. ”

"What a hell of a fire, it's just phosphorus fire!" Although Yue Qianqiu said that he was bold, he didn't have the hobby of running around the cemetery at night to practice his courage, if it weren't for Yue Ying's presence right now, he would definitely run away. But having said that, he still said stiffly, "If the corpses of people and animals are not buried deeply, they will emit a substance after decaying, which is phosphorus, and phosphorus will burn as long as the temperature is suitable, well, it is probably the temperature of midsummer." It's winter right now, it's freezing cold, and even if it's a mass grave, you can't see the ghost fire! ”

"Unless someone deliberately makes trouble, it's almost the same as hitting the fire with a flint fire sickle!"

He used his words to dispel the uneasiness in his heart at the moment, but Yue Ying was a little surprised. You must know that such a thing as ghost fire, except for people like him who naturally seem to have lost all their fears, most people will attribute it to ghosts and gods after seeing it for the first time.

Therefore, while speeding up his pace, he smiled and said, "No wonder you have been different from other children since you were a child, and the things you think in your head are different from others." What did you see in those books of Hemingxuan? ”

"Of course!" Even if he knew that he could deceive others with his blind ancient books and classics, he couldn't fool Yue Lao Ye and Yue Ying, but Yue Qianqiu still insisted on it. Seeing that Yue Ying didn't question it, he simply wrapped his arms around the other party's neck directly, and said without giving up, "Uncle Ying, since you said that Ding An is not buried here, what should we go to see?" ”

"Naturally, I want you to see the grave that has been dug by many people."

Hearing this, Yue Qianqiu suddenly shuddered. You don't have to think about it, but there will be people who are buried here, who will be full of food and idle to dig up? Only those who have doubts about his background, or who want to use this to attack the old lady Yue, will go to great lengths to do such superfluous things.

He was silent for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Uncle Ying, can you tell me about the fact that Grandpa picked me up back then?" ”

Knowing that Yue Ying had just said that he wanted to tell him something about the past that he hadn't told him on behalf of the old lady Yue, after throwing this question out, Yue Qianqiu faintly felt that it was very likely that he would get his wish. Sure enough, after just a moment of silence, Yue Ying said straightforwardly: "More than ten years ago, the old lady has always had the habit of riding a sedan chair around the street when he is in a bad mood, and that day ......"

With Yue Ying's narration, Yue Qianqiu seemed to see the fire that changed his fate again, and the person who struggled to leave the fire with him in front of him appeared. Over the years, that face has become a little blurry, and because the baby's nature is to eat, sleep, and sleep, he was still asleep before the fire, and he didn't know what happened before he was carried out of the fire, and he didn't remember if the other party had seen anyone.

And what Yue Ying told at this time did not involve that paragraph, only how the old lady Yue adopted him after the fire. Listening carefully to every sentence and every detail, Yue Qianqiu could be sure that it was exactly the same as in his memory, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, and only after a while did he ask: "Uncle Ying, I just want to ask one thing, was the name Qianqiu given by grandpa?" ”

This is a very easy question to answer, but Yue Ying hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and shook his head again: "The meaning of those two words Qianqiu, the old lady said it at the time, but before that, whether the old lady had seen or heard it from somewhere, I don't know." But I can tell you that it wasn't by chance that I was able to carry you home that day. ”

Isn't it an accident......

Yue Qianqiu rested her head on Yue Ying's shoulder and sighed in embarrassment. It wasn't until he found that the other party's steps stopped again, he twisted his neck and swept around, and then he only felt that his buttocks were loose, if it weren't for the fact that he was still tightly holding Yue Ying's shoulders, he was afraid that he would fall down in three moments.

Knowing that Yue Ying was deliberately playing with him, he hurriedly let go and jumped off the ground, but he didn't know what soft things he stepped on, and the whole person actually slipped backwards.

Although he knew that there was a rare master in front of him, he still subconsciously lifted his breath and lightened himself for a volley backflip. When he stood firm, he saw a black shadow rushing in front of him, and when he found that he had just stepped on a mouse, he suddenly felt very disgusted.

In such a place full of corpses, God knows what this rat eats to survive!

Yue Ying saw Yue Qianqiu's disgust, and with a flick of his fingers, it was a small pebble. Seeing that the hidden weapon that was not a hidden weapon hit the mouse with a pop, and then the little thing stopped moving on the ground, he pointed to a mound in front of him that was higher than the other graves, and there was even a mound engraved with the stone tablet of Ding's tomb.

"That time, the old lady gave money to bury Ding An, and those people were not completely greedy, and they did not throw people in the mass grave with a reed, but bought a thin coffin and buried people here, and found a cheap stone to engrave a few words, and there is this monument. However, it is precisely because of this monument that anyone who follows the clues can find this place and then dig a grave. ”

Even though Yue Ying had already said that Ding An was not buried here, but when she thought of the woman who allowed her to live was almost disturbed by some people and couldn't be at peace after death, Yue Qianqiu still felt that a burst of evil fire was rising in her heart. He tried his best to suppress this anger, and asked in a deep voice, "Uncle Ying said before that the person was not here, but it was Grandpa who asked her to be reburied?" ”

"Well, the body of an unknown woman in Yizhuang was transferred, which was originally thrown into a mass grave after cremation, and was finally transported here after I transported it. Although she was disturbed several times because of this, she had at least a place to be buried in the ground. It was eight years ago that others found this place, and it was difficult to determine whether it was Ding An just by looking at the bones. ”

When Yue Qianqiu heard this, he finally couldn't help but ask again: "Where is Na Ding buried?" ”

"Over there." Yue Ying stretched out his hand and pointed not far away, seeing that Yue Qianqiu seemed to be a little surprised, he said lightly, "Far away in the sky, close in front of you, so that it is not easy to arouse suspicion." The peach tree was a well-known lightning tree, and I made up some rumors that there were zombies underneath it, and it was not suitable to bury people, so there were no graves nearby. In this way, every year when the old lady comes to sweep the tomb on behalf of the Qingming Winter Solstice, I can take care of that side. ”

Yue Qianqiu had long been accustomed to Yue Ying's meticulousness, but after hearing this, he couldn't help muttering: "Uncle Ying, you come to sweep the grave every year, and there are still people who dare to do such a rebellious thing as digging the grave?" ”

"The emperor and the eldest princess are naturally not afraid of the old lady, nor are they afraid of me. What's more, after digging the grave, their people will re-bury them, change the coffin, and bury them deeply, which in their eyes is worthy of the dead. As for the others......"

Yue Ying's face turned cold, and his voice was a little more chilly: "Those who act hastily after digging graves will naturally have to pay the price." Those who dig by hand will inevitably break their hands and feet, or be sick for a year and a half. As for the ones who were behind the scenes, it was cheaper to kill a few people. Let's go, I'll take you to the real Din'an tomb. ”

Yue Qianqiu was wondering whether Yue Ying was blatantly killing people directly, or using a gimmick of cursing or something, and he was unaware that Yue Ying had already strode ahead. He didn't want to stay in this grave-strewn place, so he hurriedly chased after him. When he reached the foot of the peach tree, he saw that it was flat on all sides, and the ground was very compact, and at first glance it did not look like he had buried a person.

And Yue Ying walked around the peach tree, and finally stopped somewhere, and then said to Yue Qianqiu: "It's here." ”

Hearing this, Yue Qianqiu had to look down at the ground carefully, thinking of the woman who had saved him buried under his head, his feelings couldn't help but be very complicated. After a long while, he looked up at Yue Ying suspiciously and asked, "Uncle Ying specially took me to see this real tomb?" ”

"Yes, but not all." Yue Ying said with a blank face, "There is still enough time until dawn, I plan to dig up this tomb and open the coffin to see." ”

The more chilly it is. He is grateful and curious about Ding An, but this does not mean that he does not hesitate to dig a grave! Just now, Yue Ying himself said that those who secretly dug fake tombs were cleaned up a lot, and now he is guarding and stealing by himself, which is really unreasonable, right?

Seeing that Yue Ying had already put on his gloves and actually picked up two pieces of things from his boots on both sides and assembled a small shovel, he couldn't help but subconsciously want to step forward to stop it. But before he could say anything, he was choked back by Yue Ying.

"You from Cheng Qianqian, I from her mother's old house are exactly the same letter, the handwriting is indeed Ding An's, I just want to see now, even if Ding An is buried without anything, but will she do anything on herself? It is indeed a heinous sin, but I have never done less murder and arson in my life, and I don't care. After today, I will relocate her to a place with good feng shui, firstly, to make amends for her sins, and secondly, to compensate for her years of not seeing the light of day. ”

At this time, it was already early in the morning, and it was the fifteenth day of the first month, Yue Qianqiu never wanted to do such an uncomfortable thing during this kind of Lantern Festival, but Yue Ying said so, how else could he stop it?

He could only watch Yue Ying start digging with that small shovel, and watched him use the efficiency of at least four people to dig an extremely deep hole in the ground in less than half an hour, and his eyelids were fighting.

When the sleepy Yue Qianqiu heard the sound of the shovel digging and it seemed that something was wrong, he immediately came back to his senses. Before he could ask, Yue Ying was already digging up a layer of charcoal ash with a shovel. He thought he had dug up the coffin, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and the next scene made him even more dumbfounded.

Because under the charcoal ash is a layer of white ash; Under the white ash is a layer of sand; Under the sand, there is a layer of clay; Clay under the head...... There's also a layer of white ash that's pretty much the same! Are you sure it's a temporary burial and not a lot of man-made cemeteries?

All the common sense about the funeral is just that the urn is placed in the tomb that has been built a long time ago, and the scene in front of him makes him completely believe that his grandfather has already had a relationship with Ding An, and even the Queen of Beiyan. Otherwise, how could it be possible to move the burial to such a close place, but put so much effort into the tomb!

"After all, Ding An was a Shanggong before her death, if she died in Beiyan, she might be able to get the title of Mrs. County or even Mrs. Yuguo, and it was already very aggrieved to bury her like this before, so the old lady told me to bury it as deep as possible and fill in a few more layers, so as not to let others dig up her tomb in case any." Yue Ying did as he spoke, his movements were not slow at all, and in the end, he dug out the pine coffin with a strength that could be called divine power in Yue Qianqiu's eyes, coupled with a small shovel that could be called a divine weapon.

"If it wasn't for the lack of time, the coffins like cypress nanmu were too eye-catching, and I thought about moving the burial in the future, at least a double-layer or even three-layer coffin should be used." Yue Ying still didn't raise his head, but his subordinates moved quickly. He cleared a wide enough area around the coffin, and then stepped forward to pick up the nails in the coffin, and during the whole process, he didn't mean to ask Yue Qianqiu to help at all.

And Yue Qianqiu, who was completely stunned, really didn't have the ability to help. He watched Yueying digging the grave and opening the coffin almost the whole time like a goose, until the piercing rattle came, and it was clear that the coffin was being opened, and he remembered that he was in the last and most tense part of the horror.

Even if he was not afraid of heaven and earth, his scalp was numb, and he still couldn't help but take a step back. If it weren't for the fact that if he had gone any further, he would have to slide from the mound dug up by Yue Ying and fall to the back of nothing, and he might have taken two more steps back.

What is good or not dead is that at this moment, the moon, who had been hiding before, finally revealed her figure again, and sprinkled Yuehua, who owed them both before, as if she didn't want money, and for a while, the coffin lid looked miserable.

Yue Qianqiu could even make the sound of swallowing his saliva, especially when the heavy coffin lid was removed by Yue Ying, and then the darkness inside was revealed, he even had an urge to run away, and the eyes that looked at Yue Ying were completely full of admiration. Even if it is confirmed that it was really Ding An who saved him from the fire back then, he would not dare to jump into the coffin!

And although his night vision ability is not bad, and the moonlight is just right, but in the face of the coffin in this pit more than a foot deep, he still can't see what is going on inside, and he doesn't dare to poke his head out too much. Finally. He heard a soft exclamation from the shadow below, followed by a sigh.

"It's really hiding...... Chiaki, then! ”

Seeing a black shadow flying towards him from the bottom up, Yue Qianqiu instinctively wanted to reach out and grab it, and then realized that this was a relic that had been placed with the corpse for an unknown amount of time, and the hairs on his body stood on end. Without thinking, he immediately tore off a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around his hand, and then took it. When he looked at it by the moonlight, he was awe-inspired.

It turned out to be the same size and shape as the jade bracelet that Cheng Qianqian gave herself before!
