When Jiang Yifeng and I arrived at the village chief's house, we felt the seriousness of the gaffe. Many villagers with hoes, pickaxes, and shovels stood in the rain, crowding the entire courtyard.

Seeing me coming, most of the people took the initiative to get out of the way, but no one spoke, everyone was watching the movement in the house, and the atmosphere around the whole courtyard was extremely depressing.

The door was open, and when I walked to the door, the village chief saw me and hurriedly waved my hand to call me in.

Cui Rongguang, Zeng Ruoke and others were standing or sitting in the room, a map was torn to shreds and thrown everywhere, and everyone's faces were also very ugly.

When I walked into the house, I heard Cui Rongguang speaking to the village chief, "I can understand your feelings, but how can you do your work without sacrifice?" Our archaeological team will definitely be responsible for his death, but this archaeological task must not be abandoned halfway! ”

"You can't say you can't?" The village chief shouted at him, "Captain Cui, our village is full of countrymen, with good hearts and kindness. Since you are cadres from the city, then we also respect you. Before, you asked me to send someone to help you, and I will help you call everyone who can send you, and I will organize everyone to contribute as much as possible if they can help you. But what is the result? Now that the person is dead, you tell me, if I still let you continue to investigate and continue to use the people in our village, if there is another problem, how should I explain to my father and fellow villagers? ”

Cui Rongguang stubbornly argued: "I said that we will be responsible for his death!" I don't need you to explain! ”

The village chief sneered and said, "You are responsible? How are you responsible? You tell me, how can you be responsible when people die? Liu Mazi is a bachelor, there is no old at the top, no young at the bottom, no relatives, and not many friends. Usually it's a person, alone. You tell me, how can you be responsible for such a person? Do you want to send someone to the underworld to tell him, I'm sorry, I killed you, you can reincarnate with peace of mind? Or do you exchange the bereavement you deserve for paper money and burn it to him? Man is dead! Is it useful to say this? ”

Cui Rongguang was choked by the village chief and kept silent, but obviously still refused to agree to give up.

The village chief sighed, turned his head to look at me, and said to me: "Boss of the Guan family, don't worry, I have just asked someone to help carry Liu Mazi's body back first, so I have temporarily parked it in our house. As for the coffin, I have already asked the carpenter to help make it, as for how to handle it, you look at it, you know this better than me, and everyone listens to you. I'll write his birthday to you in a moment. ”

In fact, from the past to the present, what I have been worried about is that Liu Mazi's body has been thrown there for a long time, and there will be a deep resentment, so that it will be a horizontal death, and it will become more fierce.

Now that I've heard that the body has been brought back, I can rest my mind for a while. But then, I became interested in the dispute between the village chief and Cui Rongguang, it sounded like their conflict was the death of Liu Mazi, so what does this Liu Mazi have to do with Cui Rongguang and others?

I was curious, so I asked directly.

After hearing this, the village chief glared at Cui Rongguang and explained to me: "I am also to blame for this matter. At first, I was deceived by him. He only said that he was a cadre from the city, and he wanted to explore something here. I looked at his documents and believed him. He said that he wanted a guide, and I thought that Liu Mazi was wandering around the village all day and had nothing to do, so I asked Liu Mazi to be his guide. As a result, they actually asked Liu Mazi to take them to the grave. ”

I see! I looked at Cui Rongguang, only to see that he didn't refute, and his eyes kept looking down, so I knew that he was still a little weak in this matter. In this way, what the village chief said must be the truth.

Immediately afterwards, the village chief said: "When Liu Mazi took them there that day, I didn't feel anything. Who knows, they didn't come back that night. When they came back, they told me that one of their team members had been lost. I still asked a few times, and they were willing to tell me that they actually asked Liu Mazi to take them to the tomb. I remember very well that from the day they came, the weather was very unusual. It rained intermittently, and it hasn't stopped until now. And as soon as they go out, the rain is extraordinarily heavy. On the first night, I also heard thunder coming from the west. ”

If it is really according to what the village chief said, then there is no doubt that the recent abnormal weather and Liu Mazi's death were caused by Cui Rongguang's archaeological team. In this way, even I have to be wary of these people. What exactly are they trying to do? There is something in the tomb that makes them so stubborn that it is understandable that they don't care about the lives of others, but they don't even care about their own.

Just when I was puzzled, Cui Rongguang finally softened a little to the village chief, and he said: "What you said is just a coincidence. We don't talk about these things when we engage in science. However, I have also said that as long as it is well-intentioned, even if it is feudal superstition, I will respect you. Well, now, as long as you can prove that Liu Mazi's death is related to me, our archaeological team...... Or if it has something to do with the mausoleum, then I agree with you, write a report to it, and temporarily suspend the development of this mausoleum. ”

The village chief snorted and looked at me.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and several people carried a door panel that had been removed from nowhere. There was a person lying on the door panel, it was Liu Mazi.

To say that Liu Mazi's death is really miserable, falling from the grave mountain, I thought he was rolling off, but looking at his appearance now, it is obvious that he is not rolling down, but falling directly from the mountain and falling to the ground.

His head had been smashed and half of his face was covered with blood. When I touched him with my hand, I knew that he was fractured in many places all over his body, and many organs had been deflated, and although there were not too many injuries on the surface of his body, the internal organs were extremely damaged. It was those damaged organs that killed him.

I started to uncover Liu Mazi's eyelids, but what I saw made my feet weak and sat on the ground with my buttocks.

The village chief and Jiang Yifeng hurriedly came forward to help me, one on a side, and kept asking me 'what's wrong'.

I shook my head, trying to forget the horrific scene I had just had, and waved my hand to signal that I was okay. After the two of them let go of their hands, I squatted next to the corpse again and reached out to uncover Liu Mazi's eyelids again.

The eyes were completely devoid of the whites of the eyes, and the two eyes lurking under the eyelids were like two black holes. I want to suck people in, and when I look at it, I feel that there is a great danger lurking in it.

I looked at it for a long time, then picked up Liu Mazi's blood-stained shirt and looked inside. I saw that his entire body was covered with a layer of vague black qi, obviously injured by yin qi before he died.

I tidied up his clothes, stood up, and said to the village chief and Cui Rongguang: "Liu Mazi was indeed injured by Yin Qi, I suspect that he must have seen something before he died, chased all the way to the tomb mountain, and then was tempted to jump directly from the tomb mountain. I can't possibly know exactly what he saw, but there's no doubt that his death was related to his tomb. ”

After hearing this, the village chief said to Cui Rongguang: "Did you hear that? Get out of here with your people now! You are not welcome in our village. If you must develop any mausoleum, it is up to you, but from now on, our village will not send you any more people, and we do not want to lend you a place to live. ”
