Chapter 37: The Unexpected
Dinner was relatively early that night, and after dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms to sleep for a while, and after waking up at night, they loaded the purchased tools into the carriage that Chu Yun had found! Driven by Chu Yun, the carriage drove towards the city gate!
Chu Yun inquired and found out that the body of the Song family was buried outside Luoyang City, about four or five kilometers away from Luoyang City, a place called Crescent Valley!
There were three hoes on the carriage, a stack of ropes, and two jars of rice wine! A bucket of ice water, a soaked bath towel, and some sweets made by Wen Qing!
The rope is used to tie the feet, according to the method of Chu He, three people cannot stand together at the same time, the rope is connected to two people at the same time, and the other is holding the rope! If you find that the two of them are hallucinating, immediately pull them over and splash them with ice water to wake them up!
It has been a week since the Song family's murder case happened, and even in this kind of cold winter weather, the corpse must have a peculiar smell!
Fortunately, the most important thing in Yizhuang is anti-odor things!
After the first watch, Luoyang City began to implement a curfew, and the fifth watch curfew ended, so they were ready to stay in Crescent Moon Ditch tonight!
The physical exertion of working at night will be accelerated, after all, at night, the human biological clock is reversed!
Prepare some sweets for a quick boost!
The carriage started off fairly smoothly, but after a while, it started to get bumpy! There are no more noisy people around, and it becomes quiet! There is only the sound of horses' hooves of "tap-tapping"!
Wen Qing realized that this was out of town!
Xie Yu was silent in the carriage, not knowing what he was thinking, Wen Qing asked him a few words, and he also answered absent-mindedly!
Wen Qing didn't know if he had any trouble or something else in his heart about going to dig a grave, so she simply lifted the curtain, sat down in the front of the car, and sat with Chu Yun!
The weather tonight is not bad, the night sky is full of stars, the half-round crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and the earth is shrouded in a layer of hazy moonlight!
Chu Yun saw Wen Qing come out and said, "Sister Qing, why did you come out?" It's cold outside! ”
It's really cold! Although the speed of the carriage was not fast, there were still gusts of wind coming out of the face, blowing Wen Qing's little face numbly!
But she still said, "It's so stuffy inside!" Come out and breathe! ”
Chu Yun smiled and didn't speak!
The carriage walked for more than an hour on this bumpy mountain road, just four or five miles!
The crescent ditch is named because its topography resembles a crescent moon, and because it is in a low-lying area, it is named crescent ditch!
When it came to the crescent moon ditch, Wen Qing's whole person was about to fall apart!
However, when she got out of the car and looked, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and there were small earthen bags not far away in front of her, with white silk pressed with stones, and some tributes were placed in front of the grave, and there were still a lot of incense ashes left on the ground, and a breeze blew, and the air was instantly filled with the smell of incense ash!
Xie Yu moved things down from the carriage! I can't help but smack my tongue!
This picture is still a little crazy!
Wen Qing picked up the hoe first and said, "Let's get to work!" We don't have much time, and there's a lot of activity tonight! ”
She walked to the nearest grave and said silently, I'm sorry!
Wen Qing raised her hoe and began to dig!
Seeing this, Chu Yun and Xie Yu also picked up their hoes and dug them one by one!
Maybe it's because I just got buried, the soil is still very loose, and it's not very difficult to dig up!
The three of them did not speak again, but put all their strength on the hoe, and when they dug into the coffin, they stopped, and cleared the dirt to reveal the whole coffin!
Then go dig another one!
I don't know how long it took to dig up, but all eighteen graves were dug up!
All three of them were sweating profusely!
Wen Qing then went to fetch the bundle of ropes, tied them to Xie Yu's feet, and then tied them to herself, and handed the bundle of ropes to Chu Yun.
"Stay away!" We're going to open the coffin! ”
Chu Yun looked at the bundle of rope in his hand and said, "Why me first?" Sister Qing, aren't you safer on the side? As you said, even if Brother Xie and I fall into an illusion, our lives are not in danger! ”
Wen Qing pushed him away and said, "What kind of fight, maybe the three of them will have to take turns to do it again, besides, I can't pull the two of you!" Let's start with me and Xiaoyu, don't ink, it'll be dawn in a while! ”
Chu Yun walked towards a big tree not far away while loosening the rope, and said, "Then remember, I told you to talk back!" Otherwise, I'll treat you as if you're in a fantasy world, and I'm going to pull the rope! ”
Wen Qing gestured to her and said, "Got it!" ”
When Chu Yun arrived under the big tree, he tied the extra rope to the root of the tree and tied it into a dead knot! Then sit under the tree and watch Wen Qing and Xie Yu's every move!
There were no clouds in the sky, and the moon was as starry as it was during the day!
On the other side, Wen Qing and Xie Yu covered their faces with the treated bath towel!
One person held a hoe, Wen Qing stood in the opposite corner of Xie Yu, turned the hoe around, and inserted it into the gap of the coffin board with a sharp end!
Xie Yu nodded at Wen Qing, and the two of them exerted force at the same time, and with a "click", the coffin nails at the two corners of the coffin board were instantly pried out, and the two of them switched to the other corner and pried the other two coffin nails open! Lift up the coffin board!
A smell of corpses rushed to the face, and although both of them were covered with scented bath towels, they almost couldn't hold back!
The two of them didn't look closely, but only took a general look, and the corpse had begun to decompose a little! But it's not too serious, the corpse should have only begun to change in the past two days, a few days ago, it was all placed in Yizhuang, Yizhuang was transformed by Zhu Laoba, the corpse was in it, it can be preserved for a long time and will not decay!
After opening the four coffins, the two of them had to stop and rest for a while, these hoes were so rough in workmanship that it took a lot of effort to pry each one!
At this time, you should eat some sweets to replenish your energy, but Wen Qing thinks about it, she is afraid that she will vomit before she eats it!
After opening eighteen coffins, Wen Qing was almost exhausted and collapsed!
Chu Yun shouted from the other side of the tree, "Nothing abnormal!" ”
Wen Qing waved her hand!
Xie Yu replied, "Everything is normal! ”
The voice is also weak, obviously not much better than Wen Qing!
The two rested for a while, and finally regained some strength!
Wen Qing stood up and said, "Do you remember what you did in the autopsy room that day?" ”
Xie Yu also stood up and said, "Remember, I looked at each of their arms and necks to see if they had the "corpse spots" you said!" ”
Wen Qing exhaled and said, "Then let's start!" ”
The first thing she came into contact with was Song Qiaojiang's body, and after touching it twice, she began to look for Song Qiaojiang's body in those coffins!
Song Qiaojiang is not tall, short and fat, very recognizable!
Wen Qing looked for one coffin after another, and then her pace slowly slowed down, and her eyes finally fell on a corpse! And she stopped!
Wen Qing frowned and said, "That's not right! Xiao Yu! Did you notice anything out of the ordinary? ”
Xie Yu was grabbing a hand at this time, and the sleeves of that hand were pulled up, just to reveal an arm that had changed color without temperature!
He sighed and glanced back at Wen Qing, "No! What anomaly? ”
Wen Qing didn't answer him, she took two steps forward, but she lowered her head and bent down and poked half of her body into the coffin!
After a while, Wen Qing straightened up, her face full of doubts, and then she walked to the other coffin and poked half of her body into the coffin again!
This action was repeated several times, Wen Qing stood still, her face was solemn! I don't know what I'm thinking!
Xie Yu was frightened by Wen Qing's sudden move, and he opened his mouth wide, "Sister Qing, what's wrong with you, don't scare me!" ”
Wen Qing turned her face towards him in horror, her face turned pale, and she trembled, "Xiao Xiaoyu... Look at the corpse in your hand, and you open his eyelids!"
Xie Yu didn't know what Wen Qing had discovered, he also became scared when he saw Wen Qing like this, and his hands became trembling unconsciously!
He trembled and rolled the eyelids off the man's face, and after a single glance, he retracted his hand like lightning!
In the hazy moonlight, he saw that under the man's eyelids, there was a black hollow!
"Sister Qingqing! What's going on......"
Wen Qing gasped and said slowly, "Their eyes have all been gouged out......
