Chapter 125
As the coffin remained exposed, the temperature around it became colder, and slowly the ghostly fires dimmed and finally disappeared. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Tang Xu thought that although he didn't know the cause of geothermal energy, if he didn't fill in the pit, he would probably be able to avoid the ghost fire from reappearing. He looked around, and the place was only a temporary place to stay. When everything is settled, you can leave.
"What? How can this be! Bai Lun heard Tang Xu say that he didn't plan to backfill the soil, so he was so frightened that he couldn't help but raise his voice. It's too scary to have a coffin here.
"Even if we know the reason, but Yang Ximei is a pregnant person, it would be bad if she was scared, and can you keep hiding from Xiaocui? What if she came and was frightened? Bai Lun felt that Tang Xu's thoughts were incredible, digging up other people's coffins was already disrespectful, if he still left it like this and didn't backfill it, he was afraid that he would be resentful, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Could it be that Tang Xu had done this kind of grave digging before? That's why I don't care so much. Bai Lun couldn't help but secretly wonder, but he felt that Tang Xu was a good person who practiced medicine and helped the world, and would not do such a lack of morality.
“。。。” Tang Xu was silent, Bai Lun was reasonable, and there were still doubts, although he wanted to ignore it, he still couldn't be completely relieved. He stared at the place where the coffin was buried deep under the roots of the tree, and suddenly had an idea, it was better not to do such a thing as opening the coffin, although he did not believe in ghosts and gods, it was better to stay away. And the heat certainly didn't come out of the coffin, which is not scientific. That should be emanating from below. Tang Xu thought like this and stretched out his hand again, but the coffin was not small, and finally he crawled on the ground and touched the bottom of the coffin with his hands, and sure enough, it was also hot and a little slimy, and the water content was obviously more than the soil in the upper part.
In the face of Tang Xu's series of strange actions, Bai Lun didn't want to stop it, but he believed that Tang Xu always had his own reasons, especially when he was scared again and again, Tang Xu was still so calm to carry out his plan, Bai Lun suddenly felt that this person seemed to have a huge power, although he didn't know whether this power was evil.
Tang Xu didn't know Bai Lun's complicated mood at this time, he only cared about studying the wet soil on his hands, he twisted the soil with his fingers, and put it under his nose to smell it, a pungent smell entered from his nose and reached his throat.
"Is it brimstone?" Tang Xu struggled to search for not much physical and chemical knowledge in his mind, he didn't ask about the smell of sulfur, but it was definitely very pungent. Thinking of this, Tang Xu was excited, there was a smell of sulfur and a lot of water, but there was a hot spring down here, so there was a geothermal high temperature that did not match the season. The more Tang Xu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, but studying hot springs was beyond the scope of his knowledge, but he knew that there might be hot springs below, although his ability was limited and he couldn't continue to study, but it was better than being completely confused, and he was not interested in hot springs, as long as he was sure that there were no supernatural powers in this place.
"What now?" Tang Xu looked at such a big pit and the things in the pit and was worried, Bai Lun was right, he couldn't expose these things to the outside, but if he built it like this, it would be difficult to guarantee when those ghost fires would come out.
Wouldn't it be better if you ventilated this thing and cooled it down? Tang Xu thought to himself, but what should be used to cool down? Now there is no refrigerator to freeze ice.
It's already late, Tang Xu is also starting to get uneasy, Xiaocui and Zhang must be waiting anxiously at home, and they haven't thought of a suitable way yet, it's better to go back here, and come back when they think of a way. So Tang Xu and Bai Lun put the things on the spot, and then simply backfilled the excavated soil and left in a hurry.
When they returned home, Xiaocui and Zhang were really anxious at home, and even then they couldn't tell the truth, Tang Xu had to lie and say that someone in a friend's house was sick, and he delayed it for a while. Bai Lun could only nod his head in agreement, although Xiao Cui was a little suspicious, but at least he would not pursue it if he came back safely, and only said that he would come back earlier in the future. Tang Xu was ashamed in his heart and hurriedly agreed.
"It's so late, let's stay at home." Zhang came back to tell Tang Xu after coaxing Bao'er to fall asleep.
"I still have to go back, and I have to go to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow." Although Tang Xu said this, what he was thinking about was Tang Ru and Tang Jin, and if they didn't return overnight, I don't know if they would do something behind their backs. Zhang's family no longer dissuaded when he heard this, Xiaocui naturally listened to her husband's words, Bai Lun had just returned from the ghost mansion, and now the two of them were going to walk at night, and he was a little uneasy, insisting on sending them back, Tang Xu shirked but agreed.
When the three of them arrived at the door of the Tang Mansion, they found that someone was waiting at the door, and when they got closer, they saw that it was Tang Cai and Tang Ru, and the two of them said that the old man and the young master had been out for so long, and it was late at night and they had not turned around, and they were anxious and didn't know where to look for them, so they had to wait at the door.
Tang Xu couldn't bear that they were still waiting for him outside in such a cold weather, and he was very ashamed. Seeing that Xiao Cui had waited all night and hurried overnight, he was now tired, so he asked Tang Ru to send Xiao Cui back to the house to rest, and he wanted to say a few more words before Bai Lun went back. Tang Ru walked to Xiao Cui's side as he said, but before entering the door, he glanced back at Bai Lun a few times, Bai Lun was talking to Tang Xu and did not notice the scrutinizing gaze cast at him. When Bai Lun walked away and Tang Xu was about to return to the house, only Tang Cai was still waiting.
"You don't have to wait for me outside in the future, I'll knock on the door again when I get back." Tang Xu said to Tang Cai.
"Whatever the master says, it is our duty to serve you." Tang Cai replied respectfully.
"Why is Tang Ru waiting for me outside, what's the matter with her?" Although Tang Xu didn't let them wait, the servants were still waiting rain or shine, Tang Xu was very unhappy in his heart, but it was not good to stop them strongly. But usually the people who wait for the door are male servants. Tang Cai shook his head and said that he didn't know, so Tang Xu didn't ask, it seemed strange to ask too much.
When Tang Xu returned to the room, Xiao Cui, who looked tired, had already changed out of her clothes and was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Why don't you rest, waiting for me?" Tang Xu walked over and sat side by side with her distressedly. Xiao Cui leaned on him as if she was tired and seemed to be thinking about something, Tang Xu couldn't help but ask again when she saw this.
"That plum blossom cake is really made by Tang Ru." Xiao Cui's clueless sentence made Tang Xu stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
"How do you know, even if you ask her, she won't tell you the truth if she wants to lie." Tang Xu lowered his voice.
"She also had some flour mixed with plum juice in her nails, and she didn't wash it clean." Xiao Cui shook her head and replied, these words made Tang Xu laugh dumbly, this place that she never expected to have a flaw, and only a girl can observe it so carefully.
