Chapter 18: Digging Graves

"Tricks!" Li was anxious for seven years, he knew a lot about Zhou Xiaoyi over the years, and he knew that under the high-sounding rhetoric, he must have a bad stomach.

The protest was ineffective, after all, Director Long was the one in charge.

"I'll believe you once, but you have to understand, I'm half-hearted about doing things, and I will never show mercy, maybe you think that you are the key to finding the blood jade centipede, and no matter how you play, you won't be able to do anything, but you have to think about your two friends......" Director Long looked at Zhou Xiaoyi condescendingly, and said very kindly.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to joke with my friend's life. …… Is it possible to loosen it? Zhou Xiaoyi said lightly.

"Okay!" Director Long motioned for Liu San to go and untie the three of them.

"Dig your father's grave, I haven't seen such a shameless person!" Li Qiqi saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, let go of Lou Xiaoguang, and rewarded Zhou Xiaoyi with a "compliment".

"The truly shameless person is you!" Lou Xiaoguang was almost killed by his "friend" Li Qiqi, and it was reasonable to fight for Zhou Xiaoyi.

"Let's go! I lead the way. Zhou Xiaoyi loosened his muscles, laughed at Li Qiqi's "praise", and shouted at everyone to go on the road.

So Director Long, surrounded by Liu San, Geng Hao, Xiao Si and others, set off with Zhou Xiaoyi's footsteps. Niu Qiaoer, Lou Xiaoguang, and even Zhou Xiaoyi are all within the "care" of a thug.

It was Han Tong who fell last, she looked back at the white snow, and saw nothing but sporadic red. Where is the death or serious injury of a brother?

She would like to see the long hair fluttering figure of the sea seal, maybe it is just an extravagant hope, maybe he died under the attack of Su Niang.

Except for her, no one cares about this loyal "dog".

That's what she can be sure of.

The mole ant valley was covered with thick snow, and there was still a model of the valley, those shrubs, flowers, birds, etc. were nowhere to be seen, but under the manipulation of Lou Xiaoguang and Li Qiqi, some rancid dead grass was revealed, along with Zhou Tonghai's grave that was built with mud.

Lou Xiaoguang was forced to work, but Li was seven years old and volunteered.

"Look at your urgency...... To put it bluntly, even if there are any treasures, you can only watch them, and you can't even touch the edges. Lou Xiaoguang said sarcastically. Of course, resentment is at work, after all, the best friend of more than ten years, the love was shaken by a machete around his neck an hour ago.

I have never seen such a vicious person who turns his face faster than a book.

"Hey, I'm just putting on a show,...... Otherwise, I'll cut you first. Li Qiqi explained somewhat far-fetchedly.

"Humph!" Lou Xiaoguang was willing to believe it, and waved the hoe with resentment, and with the drumming of the hoe, Leng Buding saw the coffin.

Against the backdrop of snow white, it was eerily black, faintly revealing a fishy smell.

"Xiaoyi, I'm going to dig out your father, why don't you come and take a look?" Lou Xiaoguang turned sideways and scolded Zhou Xiaoyi, who was huddled far away.

Zhou Xiaoyi folded his arms and lay on the pile of dead grass that cleared the snow with his eyes closed, and he didn't hear Lou Xiaoguang's slightly concerned questions, but Niu Qiao'er, who was guarding his side, glanced back with disgust.

Indeed, as a beauty, she is a little afraid of coffins and dead people.

She was just worried about Zhou Xiaoyi, intentionally or unintentionally touched Zhou Xiaoyi's body, but she didn't feel much heat, according to common sense, this situation is only possessed by those cold-blooded animals, but she was just right for Zhou Xiaoyi.

The strange thing is that Zhou Xiaoyi breathes evenly and is fine.

Could it be that overnight, all the injuries healed, but it became impossible to guess.

As a party, Zhou Xiaoyi faintly felt that the changes in her body were related to Su Niang, nothing more.

At the moment, he is not really asleep, but thinks about things quietly, because he has gained some kind of perception, which is limited to Su Niang, which is a bit unbelievable.

Of course, this is only available in a state of quiet mind.

In this negligence, I could feel Su Niang shrinking into the snow not far away, showing her eyes full of sorrow and watching.

He wasn't sure if it was a conjecture.

"Ahh A piercing exclamation came from Zhou Tonghai's grave.

And it faintly spreads a blood-red luster, shooting through the dazzling snow reflection around it.

He opened his eyes with an indescribable calmness in his eyes. Thinking back to the circumstances before my father's death, if there was nothing abnormal in the coffin, it would be called unusual.

"Where's your father? It's gone! Lou Xiaoguang was yelling at Zhou Xiaoyi again.

Zhou Xiaoyi turned over and jumped up, and followed over to take a look.

The moment the coffin opened, a blood-colored light jumped out, accompanied by a thick fishy stench.

Liu San, Ah Si and other ruffians around the coffin were so frightened that they all shrank back in fear. Director Long, Geng Hao, Han Tong and the others stiffened their bodies, and they were quite calm.

…… Smelly...... Blood-red and blinding.

There were no dry bones inside, only a viscous blood-colored liquid, and a piece of clothing that hadn't melted away.

What's going on?

"Hey!" Facing Director Long's puzzled eyes, Zhou Xiaoyi smiled bitterly: "All the villagers saw that the corpse was put in,...... As for this scenario, who wants to get ......"

Zhou Xiaoyi took the hoe as he spoke, picked up the clothes soaked in mucus with one end, and unfolded them in the snow, which was an act that had no other way, but as the clothes were opened, two eye-catching black handwriting were revealed.

"Tong ...... Spirit! ”

"What do you mean?" Director Long asked.

Zhou Xiaoyi pondered to himself and ignored it: "Daddy's body may really be ......"

Thinking back to the strange situation of those days, I first faintly felt that there was a gnawing sound in my father's body, and then my father's face was as red as mucus in a coffin...... In the end, the body shrank by dozens of centimeters before the burial...... Now that there are no bones, is it really related to the blood jade centipede?

"Scoop up the liquid, dig into the ground and search!" Director Long impatiently ordered.

To enter the coffin to drain the foul-smelling liquid, Li Qinian frowned, and slipped aside to find an excuse to relieve himself, leaving Lou Xiaoguang trembling all over.

Is there room to dodge under the watchful eyes of the thugs?

"No need! Director Long, you can take a step to speak, maybe I will give you a satisfactory answer. Zhou Xiaoyi suddenly spoke.

Director Long has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he understands Zhou Xiaoyi's intentions, and must have thought of something, using it as a bargaining chip.

The two stood on the snow away from everyone, and Director Long looked at Zhou Xiaoyi expectantly.

Zhou Xiaoyi met Director Long's gaze and said in a deep voice: "You are wearing the skin of Guoan, just to get the blood jade centipede, I guess that as an antique left over from the Warring States Period, it must be priceless, but I am really not interested, I just want to live in peace." …… Believe it or not? ”

"I want to say that as long as you treat me as an equal and stop harassing the villagers, I am willing to help you unconditionally......"

Director Long sneered: "Do you have a choice?" ”

Not to be outdone, Zhou Xiaoyi smiled: "If I can't get your sincerity, I will definitely rot what I know in my stomach...... If you don't believe it, we'll see! ”

Director Long looked at Zhou Xiaoyi, who looked firm, and admired it in his heart, after all, he has not gained anything from both soft and hard these days, it can be seen that this kid is not soft, but before agreeing to Zhou Xiaoyi, he must figure out some things: "Then tell me, why did you keep silent before this?" ”

"Because I don't believe that my father really has any blood jade centipedes, even if I make it up, but your Director Long is not just fooling around, and it will bring ruin to the villagers...... Zhou Xiaoyi said: "And my daughter-in-law...... How did she appear in the village, I think Li Qiqi told you a lot, you can't figure it out, to be honest, even I can't figure it out. ”

Zhou Xiaoyi continued: "You will punish me to death, but I know that you will not want my life after all, because I am the only clue except Su Niang." ”

"I'm carrying it to death, and I have other ideas in my heart, I'm afraid I can't think of it...... I wanted to see if the woman my dad married me would be abandoned because of my situation. ”

"Unexpectedly, she did not hesitate to risk her life to save me......"

"Therefore, I want to get that Dad has some ability before his death, so that a strange woman can never leave a rotten person who is spurned by a villager, this is by no means an ordinary means."

Director Long nodded: "Your father will tell fortunes before his death......" Immediately wondered, what kind of shocking tricks could a fortune teller who cheated on eating and drinking?

"Hehe, I know that fortune tellers are just mixed rice and can't be put on the table, but after they went to Zhao Village to rob the tomb, he who survived was unusual, I think it should be related to that accident...... Zhou Xiaoyi said: "That is to say, the blood jade centipede is not only an antique, but also a secret full of evil." ”
