Xuan'er nodded like pounding garlic, no matter what Jiang Zhimian asked, he answered honestly.

Soon, Jiang Zhimian figured out the situation.

In the mines, every two or three days, a few able-bodied people are taken away to work in the mine at night.

But when these people go in, they never come out again.

But everyone fled and didn't know each other, so even if they disappeared, no one helped them.

If Xuan'er hadn't found Jiang Zhimian this time, I'm afraid this secret would have continued to be buried.

"I know, you follow me back to the palace first, but you can only go to sleep in the backyard, and you still have to work, is it acceptable?" Jiang Zhimian asked,

Xuan'er nodded and agreed.

After bringing Xuan'er back, Jiang Zhimian waited for Chi Mohan to come back.

After meeting him, I told all the conversations I had with Xuan'er today.

She was now ninety percent sure that those who disappeared had something to do with saltpeter.

I'm afraid that Mei Zhao was worried that they would leak saltpeter after they returned, so he treated their lives as a one-off.

After using it, it just died.

"The corpse shouldn't be in the mine, or it will smell." Chi Mohan first analyzed.

So, where should the new corpses that appear every two or three days be disposed of?

After a little thought, the two of them said their conjectures at the same time.

"Under the cliff!"

At the foot of the cliff, there are piles of miners who usually die, and the smell is stinking, and the corpses are piled up, and everyone usually has to walk around, if they are thrown here, it will be difficult for people to find them.

"Calculate the time, Xuan'er's father and mother should have just been thrown away, not rotten, and can be identified." Jiang Zhimian said.

If you can be sure of this, you can track it the next time Mei Zhao makes a move, and find those saltpeters along the vine.

The most critical problem now is that they don't know what Xuan'er's father and mother look like.

It's good to take Xuan'er to identify it directly, but for a small child, it is easy to leave a psychological shadow.

After thinking about it, Jiang Zhimian took the sketchpad to the backyard to find Xuan'er and asked him to describe the appearance of his father.

If you start drawing according to the description, of course it's not okay to be exactly the same, but it's okay to have four or five points of similarity.

That would be enough, and looking inside the fresh corpse, it should be found quickly.

Jiang Zhimian put away the portrait and prepared to go to the stable to ride.

Just as he was about to untie the reins, he was stopped by Chi Mohan again, "I'll just go, it's a big night, beware of being hit by dirty things." ”

Jiang Zhimian didn't care much, "Are you worried that I'll be scared when I see it?" Don't worry, I'm bold, let's go together. ”

couldn't resist Jiang Zhimian, so Chi Mohan had to agree.

However, he also told Jiang Zhimian again and again, "If you are afraid, tell me, and I will bring you back immediately." ”

"Okay." Jiang Zhimian nodded.

The two of them rushed to the bottom of the cliff.

Before I got closer, I could already smell a strong corpse stench, which was really disgusting.

With so many corpses piled up and fermented, it's simply underestimated if it's not called a biological weapon.

Rao is Jiang Zhimian has experienced a hundred battles, and he has smelled all kinds of smells, but he still can't stand it.

Fortunately, Chi Mohan was prepared, took out a handkerchief, and handed it to Jiang Zhimian, "Smoked with gardenias, it will be much better." ”

Jiang Zhimian thanked Gardenia for her sacrifice in her heart, and then covered her handkerchief around her mouth and nose.

With the help of the gardenia-flavored handkerchief, Jiang Zhimian felt much better.

Holding a lantern, he searched inside the corpse.

Soon, she found a fresh corpse in the middle of the room.

When I walked over to check, I found that their faces were all black, and their bodies were also black, but they could clearly feel moist and a strong smell of blood.

There is blood, but the body is too dark, and the blood is soaked in, and you can't see it.

Apparently he was killed as soon as he came out of the mine.

Jiang Zhimian put the lantern on a high place, took a clean handkerchief from his arms with his free hand, wanted to wipe their cheeks, and wanted to see who Xuan'er's father and mother were.

The first one is not.

The second one is not.

When it came to the third one, it was a bit similar to what Xuan'er described.

Jiang Zhimian put down the handkerchief and wanted to find the portrait to confirm.

But the corpse in front of him suddenly moved, coughing faintly, "Help...... Help me! ”

If Jiang Zhimian was not a young man in the new century, it is estimated that he would be directly frightened.

Mom, in the dead man's pile at night, suddenly a corpse spoke, and asked you to save her.

Are you afraid?

Anyway, the author is quite scared.

But Jiang Zhimian was not afraid, and out of the basic literacy of a doctor, he subconsciously touched the person's carotid artery.

It's still beating, just faintly.

It is true that he is not dead.

"Quick, Chi Mohan, this person is not dead, take her out and put her on the flat ground, I want to check!" Jiang Zhimian said.

Chi Mohan complied.

Jiang Zhimian also hurried out, but before going out, he didn't forget to touch the carotid arteries of several other corpses.

The others were literally dead, and there was no reaction at all.

And this woman is also in danger.

She was stabbed in the chest, which went directly through her body, and she lost a lot of blood, and Jiang Zhimian didn't have too much medicine on her.

I could only take out the gold sore medicine I had made before from my arms and sprinkle it on the wound, and then tear off my clothes and wrap the wound tightly, so that the blood would not flow out as much as possible.

In addition, it is necessary to take it back for treatment.

It's just that in this case, if you take her back on horseback, the bumps are too severe, and it may cause secondary injury.

If it's serious, before the palace arrives, people will burp directly.

"You ride back and get my medicine box, and get another carriage, I'll wait for you here." Jiang Zhimian said.

Chi Mohan was reluctant.

To leave the little fox alone in such a place, he really didn't feel at ease.

But Jiang Zhimian's expression became a little more serious, "Go quickly, I'm fine, you try to come back as soon as possible, if we can save her, maybe we can know the secret about Mei Zhao, go quickly." ”

Under repeated urging, Chi Mohan had no choice but to turn over and dismount.

But he gave his sword to Jiang Zhimian, "Protect yourself, I'll be back soon." ”

"Okay." Jiang Zhimian nodded.

When Chi Mohan's sound of horses' hooves faded away, Jiang Zhimian used the light of the lantern to illuminate the people on the ground again.

His pupils began to dilate, his teeth clenched, and he had reached his limit.

If you don't do something, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for Chi Mohan to come back with the medicine box.

Jiang Zhimian thought for a while, and then gently patted the person's cheek and leaned into her ear to speak.

"Wake up, your son Xuan'er is still waiting for you, you know? Do you want him? ”

Hearing this, the man was very laborious and painful, and spat out two words from his mouth, "Li...... Face! ”
