According to the route guided by the guy, Jiang Baoqing and Xun Tao rode all the way in the carriage.

However, when he arrived at the big willow tree with a crooked neck and turned left, Jiang Baoqing faintly saw that something was wrong.

Plumes of smoke rose not far ahead.

Looking at the sky in that area, it seemed like something had turned red.

Jiang Baoqing's expression changed.

Not good!

She asked the coachman to hurry up and rush there, and the coachman waved the whip as he said, and persuaded with some worry: "Miss, it looks like there is a fire over there, let's just take a look at the periphery." There are a lot of dead trees and grass in this area, and although the wind direction is blowing in that direction, it may be dangerous to burn it in our direction when the wind direction changes. ”

Jiang Baoqing nodded.

The carriage stopped a dozen feet outside Yizhuang.

Sure enough, it was a fire in Yizhuang.

The fire is burning extremely vigorously at this time, and a few sporadic people are hurriedly fighting the fire, although the river is not too far away, but the buckets of water are transported over, which is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

In the end, I could only watch as the fire burned Yizhuang to the ground.

"I just said that this day is so dry, something will happen sooner or later, no, it's burning, right?"

"Evil, those corpses in Yizhuang, I don't know what happened......

"What else, such a big fire, it must have burned out."

Jiang Baoqing pursed his lips as he listened to the regretful words of the firefighters next to him.

Fires caused by dry weather?

How could it be such a coincidence.

Early in the morning, Kangkang's mother's body had just been transported, and a fire broke out in this Yizhuang by chance?

Jiang Baoqing walked into Yizhuang after the fire with no expression on his face.

There are traces of black and charred everywhere, Yizhuang is already old and dilapidated, and the roofs of a few houses have burned down, leaving only some charred broken walls, which are still standing there.

There was a lame man, looking at the burned Yizhuang, stunned, as if he was wandering.

Someone next to him persuaded him: "Lao Yu, it's not your fault that this Yizhuang burned down, don't be stupid, it is estimated that the government will send someone over in the afternoon, and you should hand over any leftover things at that time." ”

"It's just that it's not a good errand to see Yizhuang......

The lame man seemed to have just come back to his senses, so he nodded, and rubbed his hands a little nervously. He said with a sad face: "I'm just afraid, I'm afraid that the poor men will push this matter on my head." It happened while I was on duty......"

"Hey, there's no way around this fire. Some days there is no rain, and the crops in the fields are dying. In this Yizhuang, there are many coffin boards and wood, and the weather is so dry...... Natural disasters. Others persuaded him, shook his head and left.

It seems that this lame man is the one who guards Yizhuang.

Jiang Baoqing thought about it, and stepped forward to say hello to the lame man: "Uncle Yu." ”

Lao Yu, a lame man, was startled, and when he saw that Jiang Baoqing was dressed differently than ordinary people, he was stunned: "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

"Oh, I have a relative who died in the night, and I heard that Yizhuang was sent here in the morning. I don't know if you remember. Jiang Baoqing said what he meant.

The lame man Lao Yu shook his head: "Alas, little brother, it's too late for you to come now, this fire burns, I'm afraid even the coffin board will be burned to ashes......"

"Three corpses were sent in the morning, and I don't know which one you are talking about." He limped deeper into the rubble and pointed forward, "I remember, the three bodies were pretty much all here. ”

In this year, some bodies that are temporarily unclaimed or cannot be buried for various reasons will be temporarily placed in the thin coffin of Yizhuang.

If there is still no one to claim it in the end, it is basically a broken mat and a wrap and thrown to the side of the mass grave.

Jiang Baoqing followed behind Lao Yu and looked at the remains of the three coffins that Lao Yu pointed to.

The coffin and the body inside were almost burned to ashes, and it was impossible to tell which ones were ashes and which were ashes.

"Poor Ou," the lame old Yu sighed, "I heard that one of them was raised up the mountain and met the bandits, his clothes were stripped off, and his whole body was thrown at the bottom of the mountain, and the good Samaritan collected and sent it...... Another one was also miserable, and half of its head was gnawed by wild beasts. In comparison, the last corpse is better, I heard that it was injured by a horse, but it looks like the corpse is still intact. ”

Jiang Baoqing asked: "Do you remember these ......" Jiang Baoqing pointed to the piles of wreckage and ashes on the ground, "Which body was probably injured by a horse?" ”

Lao Yu frowned, thought for a long time, and then he was a little sure of the pile of wreckage leaning against the pillar: "It should be this, I remember that I was still thinking about this girl who had suffered this kind of misfortune at a young age, so that her body was far away from the doorway, so as not to disturb her again at night when the carriage on the road in the underworld would disturb her." ”

Jiang Baoqing nodded and stepped forward to look carefully.

The lame old man sighed: "This little boy, people die like lights going out, you can also look away...... Anyway, this person has been burned like this, if you want her to be buried in the ground, find a decent jar to pick it up, find a piece of feng shui treasure to bury the altar, and it's the same. ”

Jiang Baoqing didn't speak, and swept the ashes with his hand.

Lao Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, sighed, and went to the place next to the ruins to check.

Jiang Baoqing looked at it for a long time, and then clapped his hands and got up.

Xun Tao on the side was a little trembling, but he still dutifully guarded Jiang Baoqing's side, and when he saw Jiang Baoqing getting up, he hurriedly handed over a clean and soft handkerchief.

"Girl......" looked for a peach and stopped.

The atmosphere here really made her a little scared.

Jiang Baoqing wiped his hands: "Okay, let's go back first." ”

Looking for peaches is relieved.

When the carriage came out of Yizhuang, I happened to see a team of officials turning out of the official road, looking at the direction, as if they were going to Yizhuang to investigate.

Jiang Baoqing lowered the curtain and sat back in the car.

"Alas, why is there always a bunch of......" Jiang Baoqing sighed in his heart.

Xun Tao bit her lower lip, thought for a while, and said, "Girl, can the slave take a leave with you for a while?" ”

Jiang Baoqing glanced at Xun Tao, as if he had seen through her thoughts: "Do you want to go and see Kangkang?" ”

Xun Tao nodded, and couldn't help but ooze a little tear in his eyes: "...... The slave's mother gave birth to the slave's younger brother and went, and the younger brother was only Kangkang's age and died of illness. She paused, tears welling up in her eyes, "Brother slave, nickname is also Kangkang." ”

Jiang Baoqing looked at the tears flashing in Xun Tao's eyes, thought about it, and told Xun Tao: "...... Kang Kang's mother, eighty percent of them were killed. ”

Xun Tao still had tears in his eyes, his eyes were hazy with tears, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Jiang Baoqing sighed and said briefly: "Kang Kang's mother's coffin was poured with oil, so the degree of burning is much more serious than the two next to it. It can be seen that some people wanted to hide the cause of Kangkang's mother's death, and did not hesitate to set fire to the entire Yizhuang. ”

Xun Tao covered her mouth suddenly.

She thought that Kang Kang's mother was killed by someone, but she never expected that the person behind it would be so frustrated, in order to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, he did not hesitate to burn the entire Yizhuang!

"Maybe that person will do it to Kang Kang too!" Xun Tao was a little excited, "No, the slave has to hurry over, Kangkang is in danger!" ”

Jiang Baoqing soothed: "Don't worry, since that person did not move Kangkang in order to destroy the corpse, it means that Kangkang is still safe." As he spoke, Jiang Baoqing lifted the curtain of the car in front of him and instructed the driver who was driving the car, "Go to the hospital." ”

Xun Tao made up her mind, and when she saw that Jiang Baoqing was going to go with her, she was a little uneasy and said, "...... The slave maid is selfish, and there is really no need to involve the girl. ”

Jiang Baoqing smiled: "What are you talking about?" You are also a member of my Jiang family. ”

"But ......"

Jiang Baoqing raised his hand to stop Xun Tao's words: "Don't do it, we're just going to take a look at Kangkang right now." I can't say that there are still people staring at the infirmary, and we must have entered the target of each other's suspicions earlier," she smiled, "Naturally, we have to wash away the suspicions on our bodies." ”
