Chapter 401: Return to the Capital [5]
Chu Mohan looked at the mansion standing halfway up the mountain.
"Let's go over and see."
It was a house that looked to have been abandoned for a while, with a certain part of the courtyard wall crumbling and the wooden gate rotting and looking crumbling.
Su Wan Dao; "Looks like this house has been abandoned for some years."
Leng Xue'er looked at the house in front of her; "I don't know who would build such a house in a place like this."
Su Wan pouted; "Who else can it be, it must be a rich and idle person."
Ordinary people don't have the money to build such a good house.
Chu Mo Handao; "Let's go! Go in and take a look. ”
The trio did not enter through the decaying gate, but through a collapsed courtyard wall.
The three of them walked around the abandoned house.
The house was overgrown with weeds and moss grew on the roof, and it was clear at a glance that the house had been abandoned for a long time.
This abandoned mansion is not as big as it seems, and the three of them turned around, and there was no place to hide the corpse or refine corpse oil.
The trio returned, the courtyard wall that had collapsed when they entered.
Su Wan said; "No matter how you look at this house, it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no trace of coming in, just ......"
Su Wan raised his eyes to look at Chu Mohan and Leng Xue'er; "Do you think this house is very strange somewhere?"
Leng Xue'er nodded; "Not only are there a lot of rats in this house, but they are also very fat."
It's not surprising that there are rats in an abandoned house like this, and the rats that appear in this house are all fat and large, and they look like they are well fed.
Su Wan Dao; "If these rats often go to the bottom of the mountain to steal food, the villagers under the mountain cannot be unscrupulous, let these rats steal food, they will definitely buy some rat medicine, we will find out where these rats nest."
After looking around, the three of them came to a cellar.
From under the collapsed courtyard wall next to the cellar, there was a foul smell.
Su Wan couldn't help frowning; "It smells like dead rats."
Chu Mohan moved the stones of the collapsed courtyard wall away one by one.
There was a hole made by a rat under the courtyard wall, and the hole was as thick as an adult man's arm.
Su Wan and Leng Xue'er pinched their noses.
Su Wan Dao; "The stench seems to be coming from this rat hole."
Chu Mohan took out the sword he was carrying, and with a wave of the sword in his hand, the mouse hole was split open by his sword, and several dead mice appeared in front of the three of them.
Su Wan endured the nausea and looked over.
Su Wan pointed to the mouse's mouth and said; "You see, the meat that has not been eaten in its mouth is probably the meat from the corpses that have been stolen, right?"
The moment the words fell, the three of them could feel a gust of cold wind blowing, and the hairs of the three of them couldn't help but stand up.
Chu Mohan looked over and saw that there were things that looked like meat on the sides of the mouths of those dead mice.
Chu Mohan carefully observed for a moment.
"Wan'er, you guessed it right, the side of the mouse's mouth looks like meat, it should be the meat on those corpses."
Su Wan only felt that his stomach was overturned.
Su Wan took a few steps back, holding a tree with one hand and one hand on his chest, retching.
Leng Xue'er was no better, her face turned pale, and she endured the nausea coming from her stomach.
No matter how many times he watched such a scene, Su Wan felt that he would be unbearable, and the rancid smell went straight to his nose.
After vomiting for a long time, Su Wan, who didn't vomit anything, was a little weak; "The smell is so disgusting, I just can't stand it."
Seeing that Su Wan's face was very bad, Chu Mohan walked up to her and gently patted her back.
"Looks like the stolen bodies are here."
As he spoke, Chu Mohan took out a signal flare from his arms and fired it at the sky.
The flare glowed purple-red in the sky.
Far below the light breeze and namelessness of the mountains, see the signal flare in the sky.
"There's a discovery over there, let's hurry over now." Nameless looked at the signal ballistic in the sky.
Light Breeze nodded, and the two of them led a dozen people towards the abandoned house halfway up the mountain.
Light Breeze and Nameless soon arrived at the abandoned house.
Seeing that Nameless and the others dared to come, Chu Mohan commanded; "Open that cellar."
This mansion, where corpses can be hidden or where corpse oil can be refined, can only be this cellar.
Plus the corpse of a dead rat, which was found next to the cellar.
The cellar was opened.
The moment it was opened, an even stronger rancid smell wafted out of the cellar.
Su Wan's stomach was turned over again.
Su Wan thought to himself, it is estimated that he will not be able to eat meat for a long time.
Nameless looked at the dark cellar with a blank expression, and he didn't seem to react to the stench.
Unlike him, Light Breeze had already taken a few steps back and pinched his nose.
Seeing that no one wanted to be the first to enter the cellar, Nameless raised an eyebrow.
Nameless turned his head to look at the breeze behind him, and there was no warmth in his tone; "Give me a torch and I'll go in and see."
Light Breeze hurriedly picked up a thick wooden stick from the ground, quickly made it into a torch, and handed it to Nameless.
Nameless took the torch from Light Breeze's hand, and he first placed the torch at the mouth of the cellar, and after observing it for a moment, he jumped into the cellar.
Everyone in the cellar gasped.
It didn't take long for Nameless to emerge from the cellar.
Breeze asked a little impatiently; "What's next?"
Nameless didn't even look at Qingfeng, and walked straight in front of Chu Mohan past him.
"Lord, there are some stolen corpses in the cellar."
Chu Mohan frowned, partly? There's another part to that.
"You take the bodies out of the cellar and have the villagers come and claim them and keep a record."
These bodies are not like the nameless corpses of mass graves, these corpses belong to the owner, and the villagers who have stolen the bodies must be allowed to claim them back.
Just as Nameless and the others moved the corpses in the cellar out of the cellar one by one, Chu Mojing also arrived.
He dared to come when he saw the signal flare launched by Chu Mohan.
Seeing the corpses that had been moved out of the cellar one by one, Chu Mojing's eyes sank slightly.
Chu Mojing said; "Are all the stolen bodies here?"
Chu Mohan shook his head; "It's just a part here, and the other part of the body hasn't been found yet."
Su Wan Dao; "Could it be that another part of the corpse has been refined into corpse oil by that person?"
Chu Mohan and Chu Mojing's expressions were a little solemn.
Chu Mo Handao; "We only found some of the stolen corpses, and we haven't found a place to refine corpse oil, I don't think that person should be, the place where the corpse is hidden is separated from the place where the corpse oil is refined, there must be a place in this courtyard that we haven't found."
