The night is deep, and the cicadas are singing.

A gust of wind blew, and the person who blew was cold.

Nangong Yan and Su Wuming walked in the direction of Uncle Quan's departure, it was a valley, which was full of wild grass, and the wild grass swaying in the wind was terrifying, and the more they walked inside, the more thrilling they felt.

The two of them endured their fear, walked step by step, and the occasional fluctuation could make them frightened, so they walked until the end of the valley, but they didn't find any trace of Uncle Quan.

Nangong Yan frowned slightly, and quickly explained: "I...... I saw him come in! ”

Su Wuming didn't mean to disbelieve Nangong Yan, but this valley was a dead end, and they were following Uncle Quan, how could that Uncle Quan not see him?

Is he hiding in the weeds?

The two searched at the end of the valley, and then returned along the same road, searching and walking, but they walked until they reached the mouth of the valley, but they saw no trace of Uncle Quan.

Su Wuming shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's go back first, and look for it after dawn." ”

At this time, they are the only one.

It's just that after the two of them walked back, they inadvertently glanced at the broken temple, and then they saw a person, Uncle Quan, at this time he was sleeping in the broken temple, and his face after years of polishing was facing this door, under the moonlight, giving people an indescribable feeling.

Nangong Yan had a sense of anger, although Uncle Quan was an old man, but she had a feeling of being deceived, she wanted to call the old man up and ask him to understand, and ask what was going on, but Su Wuming pulled Nangong Yan back to the tent, this matter is not simple, instead of asking now, it is better to wait until dawn.

Nangong Yan had no choice but to obey, but after she went back, she didn't fall asleep again.

The next day, after dawn, the guards began to live and cook, Uncle Quan has woken up, but he is still lying in the broken temple and refuses to get up, he has no goal in life, maybe only continue to lie down, is the most comfortable.

Of course, if it had been before, Su Wuming and Nangong Yan would have asked like this, but after what happened last night, they no longer think so, this old man, there must be a story.

The weather slowly got hotter, and after everyone had breakfast, Su Wuming asked two guards to invite Uncle Quan, and Uncle Quan came very obediently, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't even look up at Su Wuming.

Su Wuming frowned slightly, and said, "You went to the valley over there last night, I don't know where you went and what you were doing?" ”

Uncle Quan raised his head slightly, then shook his head again, but still did not speak.

It was a very laborious thing to talk to such a person, Su Wuming got up, found a few guards, and ordered: "There is a valley over there, you go and search it to see if you can find anything." ”

The guards were ordered to leave, and Uncle Quan turned his head slightly to look at it, but he didn't say anything.

This qiē fell in Su Wuming's eyes, but he didn't point it out.

About an hour later, those guards came in a hurry, they were tired and sweating, but they didn't find anything, Su Wuming was a little unconvinced, so he ordered: "Put a fire, burn the barren grass in the whole valley, and then look for it." ”

Uncle Quan's body suddenly stiffened, and he wanted to speak, but in the end he endured it.

The fire spread throughout the valley, and it was not until noon that the grass was finally burned clean, and after the grass was burned clean, the guards endured the scorching heat and checked again, and searched for a stick of incense, and one of the guards hurried to the valley and said, "My lord, a cave has been found in the valley. ”

Su Wuming nodded: "Go and see." ”

The cave was in the middle of the valley, not very large, blocked by a stone, and almost merged with the whole mountain, and it would have been difficult for people to notice if it had not been burned by a fire.

Su Wuming motioned to a guard and said, "Smash it open!" ”

The guards received the order, and they were about to smash it, but at this time, Uncle Quan, who had been silent, suddenly rushed over and blocked the hole with his body: "Don't ...... Don't ......"

The old man just shouted like this, but he didn't explain the reason and reason, Su Wuming felt that things were very weird, why didn't this old man want them to smash this cave?

He had known that there was a cave here, but what was inside it?

Everyone has secrets, and Su Wuming doesn't have a habit of listening to other people's secrets, but because there has been a case of someone stealing the corpse here, Su Wuming has to figure out what is in the cave.

One of the guards pulled the old man away, and the other went to smash the cave, and the old man kept struggling, and even began to insult, as if someone had dug his ancestral grave.

It's just that he is too old, and in such a living environment, his physique has become very weak, and after a guard controls him, he is at ease.

After a few clicks, the cave was smashed open by the guards, and it was a little deep inside, as if it was impossible to see the bottom at a glance.

A guard brought a torch and walked in first, Su Wuming, Nangong Yan and Tang Xiong also followed in one after another, the cave was very narrow and long, but after walking a few steps, it slowly became wider, and then there was a house as big as a house, but when they walked into that house, the guard who walked in front suddenly couldn't help screaming, and the torch in his hand suddenly fell to the ground and went out.

The cave suddenly darkened, and the guards in front kept screaming, but he didn't move, just kept screaming, kept shouting that there were ghosts, there were ghosts, Tang Xiong was very bold, kicked it over, and then took out a fire fold to light the torch, and the guards who were kicked over trembled, and their eyes were full of fear.

Tang Xiong picked up the torch and took a picture of it, and then suddenly took a step back in fright, and suddenly inhaled a breath of cold air, making him feel goosebumps all over his body.

Su Wuming didn't believe that there were ghosts and gods in the world, so he looked forward by the firelight, and under this look, he couldn't help but take a sharp breath of cold air, because in the cave, there was a row of chairs, and there were people sitting on each chair, of course, it couldn't be said to be people, at least at first Su Wuming didn't think it was a person.

There are nine chairs in total, and the people on the nine chairs are painted all over their bodies, all kinds of colors, and at first glance, it seems that people want to vomit.

But soon, Su Wuming found that what made him want to vomit was not the color, but the rotten smell emanating from the people on the chair, Su Wuming frowned slightly, this rotten smell was very familiar to him, and he would smell it when he usually examined the corpse.

Don't?

Su Wuming had an ominous premonition in his heart, he took the torch from Tang Xiong's hand, and walked towards the nine people who were painted with colored people, he looked carefully, and after such an inspection, Su Wuming finally couldn't help but turn around and vomit, and vomited all the game he ate this morning.

Everyone has never seen Su Wuming like this, whether it is dissecting the corpse or conducting an autopsy, he has never vomited like today, Nangong Yan ran over: "Su Lang, are you okay?" ”

Su Wuming wiped his mouth and shook his head: "I'm fine." ”

Those people are really people, and they are corpses that have been dead for many years, the smell from these corpses is really unbearable, and Su Wuming has always been very strange, the corpses have been dead for many years, why are they not rotting?

Is it because of the dyes that are applied to the body?

Su Wuming already knew about the matter, so he waved his hand and let him leave the cave, the guard who was the first to find these people had already improved a little, but his spirit was still a little dazed, and it wasn't until the sun shone on him that he showed a long-lost smile, but in his life, he was afraid that he would treat this as a nightmare.

Uncle Quan struggled a little tired, but the guards still didn't let go, because he was a little slack just now, this Uncle Quan wanted to rush into the cave, and the guards didn't know if this Uncle Quan was pretending, so he had to hold him tightly.

After Su Wuming and the others came out, their faces were a little ruined, and their foreheads were covered with sweat, but this sweat was not hot, but cold sweat.

Su Wuming glanced at Uncle Quan and said, "You did all the corpse theft incidents that happened here, right?" ”

Uncle Quan glared at Su Wuming, and didn't mean to speak, Su Wuming frowned slightly: "If you don't want to speak, the official will immediately send someone in to destroy those corpses, including the corpse in the middle." ”

Although Su Wuming vomited a lot just now, he had already seen all those corpses, and the corpse in the middle was the oldest, and it was very likely that it was Uncle Quan's wife.

It should be okay to use this to threaten Uncle Quan.

And that's exactly what happened.

Just after Su Wuming said those words, Uncle Quan suddenly knelt down: "Don't, don't, those corpses were all dug up by me." ”

"Why are you doing this?"

"I ...... My wife died, and I knew she was lonely, very lonely, and I didn't want her to be alone underground, so I wanted to find some people to accompany him, and as soon as there were dead people in the village, I secretly dug them up, and then transported them to the cave, and applied antiseptic dye, so that they could accompany my wife. ”

Although they had already thought that what happened in Cun Zài was done by Uncle Quan, at this time Su Wuming and they were still a little shocked, after all, this kind of thing, others would not do, could it be that this Uncle Quan had such a good relationship with his mother-in-law?

"What were you doing here last night?"

"Corpses are decomposing, I have to apply a layer of embalming dye to them every day, and that's what I did last night, you ...... You ......"

Uncle Quan's words were not finished, because he suddenly couldn't go on because he was dead.

He died so suddenly, and it was a strange death.

Everyone looked at this old man who died suddenly, and suddenly felt how sad his life was.

Su Wuming ordered the corpses in the cave to be transported out, and then buried those corpses in front of the village, maybe here, after many years, there will be life.
