Chapter 148: Digging Graves and Exhuming Corpses

There was no trace of anything in front of him, except for a few mounds of graves.

"Is everyone buried here?"

The number of graves in front of him was obviously wrong, and if everyone died, there must be more than a few here.

"Everything we found is buried here, and we don't know if there's anything else." The old village chief stood firm and took a few breaths, his body looking older and older in the cold wind.

Sheng Mingyi didn't leave, stayed where he was, and then ordered someone to call all the villagers who could still move to come over and dig graves.

It's only been half a month now, the weather is cold and cold, and the corpses buried in the ground have not yet decomposed, so they will definitely be able to identify them.

None of the villagers dared to resist, and the village chief took the lead, and those who were not injured and could move were brought over to dig graves, and the hoes and shovels were laid together, and after a while, several graves were dug up.

The bottom of the pit faintly smelled of the corpse rotting, Sheng Mingyi pulled his sleeve to cover his mouth and nose, and looked at the graves one by one, only to find that there was not only one person buried in the graves, but some buried three or four.

Based on the clothes on the corpses, it can be basically determined that these are the guards of their national mansion.

However, in addition to the guards escorting them, there were many corpses of men in black in the grave.

It seems that it should be a murderous bandit.

Sheng Mingyi lowered his head and wanted to see the faces of these black-clothed people clearly, but the smell from the bottom of the pit was really unbearable, and it made his head hurt.

Sheng Mingyi held his breath and retreated a few words, until he could no longer smell the smell of rotting corpses in his nose, and then he gasped twice to calm down the nausea in his heart.

"Second brother, come and see here."

Sheng Mingyi paused, struggled for a long time, and then followed the sound to Sheng Mingzhu, and looked at the bottom of the pit, there were two female corpses lying inside, the corpses were none other than Ling Niangzi and Meng Xiwen's mother and daughter.

"Both of them are dead? Have the bodies of Meng Zhaoyue and Meng Caiguang been found? ”

Sheng Mingzhu shook his head, "There are not a few here, are there a few pits over there?" ”

"I don't know, in addition to them, there are many people in black inside, I guess I need to get them all up to see clearly."

"Need someone to help?"

"No, you don't." Sheng Mingyi retreated to safety, his eyes swept the villagers, who were covered in mud and were guarded by the attendants, not daring to move.

There are ready-made labor here, and there is no need for them to use anyone.

The villagers didn't dare to be angry, and they didn't dare to speak, under Sheng Mingyi's assignment, they obediently went over to carry the corpses to work, dozens of corpses were neatly arranged, Sheng Mingzhu didn't let Sheng Mingyi step forward, he went over, and compared them one by one.

The guards who came out of the mansion were all there, but Meng Zhaoyue and Meng Caiguang were missing.

Why are the two of them missing, are they escaping? Or was it kidnapped by bandits? Why did the robbers kidnap only the two of them?

Sheng Mingzhu was full of questions, and always felt that this thing was weird!

Who intercepted them? If it was a bandit, how could they leave their salute here? You won't kill people for no reason!

"Are there other bodies found around here? Or have you noticed any strange men and women near the village recently? ”

"We don't know about this, the corpses we saw at the beginning are buried here." The old village chief shook his head and said: "Don't look at our proximity to the official road, in fact, there are very few people, there is only one village around us, and few people usually pass by, if someone appears near the village, someone will definitely find out." ”

There was no Meng Zhaoyue, and there was no Meng Caiguang, and they searched all around the vicinity, but they still found no trace of them.

There is no one in life, and no corpse in death.

The dead bodies could not be carried back, so Sheng Mingyi ordered them to be buried again, but this time it was a grave pile for one person.

It was busy until it was getting late, and then the corpses were put back to the ground.
