Chapter 10: A Hand Bone

The flood slowly receded after half a month, and the county government invited many strong men to clean up the silt at the city gate. In the evening, some laborers carried shovels and went to the inn to eat in the mud. Cai Wei asked them to wash their faces by the well in the backyard, and told Xiao Lianzi to prepare tea early.

During the meal, a man who looked like an uncle sighed heavily and said: "Alas, I am afraid that the harvest will be out this year, and the crops are almost dead, and this year is really in vain." ”

Another said: "God doesn't give you food, and you can't complain about anyone." The situation in the other places is better, and planting some fruits and vegetables is not a waste of work. ”

The uncle said again: "That's the only way." ”

In the event of such a natural disaster, we can only go with the flow, and the only thing we can do is to minimize the loss. Rely on the sky to eat, but the heavens are not beautiful.

When it was almost closed in the evening, Cai Wei stood in front of the counter and continued to count the day's flow. Recently, due to the floods, business in the store has not been very good. The main lack of ingredients, can't go out of the city, can't buy ingredients. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so she closes early every day.

Linlang lives comfortably every day, she doesn't have to go to the school, she doesn't have to listen to the lectures of the old pedant, and she can wander around the city with Mu Qing all day long. After Cai Wei finished calculating the running water, she said to Linlang, who had just been sweating from outside: "I'm going to the school in a few days, and you should also take care of it." ”

Linlang wondered: "The school is full of water, how can it recede so quickly, my mother is my mother." ”

The terrain of the school is low, much lower than Luoyang City. The water is about to flood the city, and the academy will only be worse than Luoyang City. Now the flood waters in the city have receded, and some people have cleared the mud. But where is there anyone in the school, there will definitely be no way to study.

Cai Wei smiled and said: "Then you don't know, your original school is seriously damaged, and you can't go there anymore." Now that you have changed to a new location, I believe you will be able to continue to go to the school in the near future. ”

Linlang is a little depressed, and happy times are always short-lived. Sure enough, as Cai Wei said, someone came to inform the school within a few days.

Although the old pedants in the school are old-fashioned and old-fashioned. But in order to celebrate the joy of housewarming, he actually put forward a proposal for a wild trip. They are all teenagers, and when they are playful, they don't need to endorse when they hear it, and everyone is very happy.

They went to a farmland three kilometers outside Luoyang City, where the scenery is beautiful and the vision is broad, and it is indeed a good place to play.

Linlang couldn't play with those young masters and sons, so she separated from them with Mu Qing and went elsewhere.

Linlang and Mu Qing were strolling on the ridge, and suddenly Mu Qing said excitedly: "Linlang, you see there is a tree in that field, there seems to be fruit on it, let's go and take a look." ”

They ran over together, and Linlang deftly climbed the tree, dragged a few fruits, and threw them to Mu Qing, who was waiting under the tree. When Linlang was picking happily, he heard a shout in the distance: "Whose child dares to steal something there." ”

Linlang looked up and saw that someone was coming in their direction, and Linlang hurriedly said to Mu Qing: "Hurry up, someone is coming, and it will be over if you are caught." ”

Mu Qing quickly picked up the last few fruits on the ground and put them in his pocket. Linlang jumped off the tree like a monkey and ran away with Mu Qing. I ran a long way in one breath, and when I saw that the man was not chasing, I stopped. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, Mu Qing took out a fruit from her pocket and handed it to her, she wiped it on her clothes a few times, and clicked and gnawed it. After gnawing on them, they continued to wander around the fields.

It's a strange thing to walk to a place. A few unknown trees, lush. There is a bulge underneath one of them, like a stack of firewood and straw. The two of them sat on the bulge and munched on the fruit with joy.

Linlang always felt uncomfortable under her buttocks, as if she was caught by something. She reached out and felt under her ass and felt a hard object. As soon as she pushed harder, she heard a "click", as if something had been broken.

Mu Qing laughed beside him: "Ah, you dug up some treasure, right?" ”

She tugged hard, and a black piece of wood was pulled out of the mound. When Linlang took it to his eyes, the wooden block had rotted and emitted a rancid smell, and it broke off with a light break. Linlang frowned and threw the thing far away, but she was extremely curious in her heart, and felt that there was something strange under the mound. She got up and dug a few times at a branch from a distance, and in a few moments a corner peeked out of a black box.

Seeing this, Mu Qing exclaimed excitedly: "There is really a treasure." ”

Linlang shoveled the black box open a gap with all his might, and took a look at the gap, but the inside was black and black, and he couldn't see anything. At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly rose in the field, and the wind came very strangely. Only this dusty patch in front of him was so scraped that people could barely open their eyes. In the distance, it was as quiet as water, and the leaves of the trees did not move.

After a while, the wind stopped again, and the black box was revealed. When Linlang saw the scene in front of her, she was horrified, and her hand holding the branch trembled. What kind of black box is that, it's clearly a black coffin. The coffin was very worn, and the paint had fallen off in some places, so it must have been many years old.

Linlang swallowed her saliva, walked a few steps forward with trembling legs. She was still undecided, and the gap that she shoveled open, suddenly fell out of something, and Linlang was even more frightened that the three souls and seven spirits were gone.

A piece of Bai Sensen's hand bone, and there is also a white jade bracelet on the hand bone. Mu Qingzao was so frightened that he sat on the ground, his body shook into a sieve, his face was pale, and he couldn't say a word. Linlang threw the branch in his hand, involuntarily touched the jade pendant in his neck, and didn't dare to move. Some students next to him probably saw this infiltrating scene, screamed and ran away, calling the old pedant.

The old scholar was also startled when he saw it, his face turned blue and white for a while, and he was stunned for a long time before he said slowly: "Everyone go home quickly, go home quickly." ”

Linlang finally reacted, pulled up Mu Qing on the ground, and ran quickly towards the city. Mu Qing cried with tears while running, and even ran off one of his shoes, but he didn't even know it.

Returning to the city out of breath, Linlang and Mu Qing calmed down a lot. They separated, Cai Wei was choosing vegetables and cooking in the kitchen. When she saw Cai Wei, she finally couldn't help it, and she cried as soon as she wowed, and the fear in her heart was vented at once.

Cai Wei had never seen her like this, her face was pale and she was embarrassed. Cai Wei hurriedly got up and asked her what had happened. She told what had happened in the field, and the basin in Caiwei's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and the vegetables in it were scattered all over the ground. Cai Wei didn't care about it, Linlang dug someone else's grave, and listened to her, probably whose ancestral grave it was. This is a big taboo, it will be thundered by the sky.

Cai Wei couldn't breathe when she saw her crying, and she couldn't bear to be harsh, so she coaxed her into the house. Cai Wei thought about it, and felt that this thing was not good. Just as she was at a loss, she suddenly remembered that the Quan Zhenzi Daoist had said that he would be useful in the future. During the flood a few days ago, she also heard the story of him saving the spirit snake and his grandfather, and only then did she know the way the Taoist came from.

Now there is no other way but to invite him. Cai Wei hurriedly called Xiao Lianzi and asked him to go out to see that the Taoist was still divining nearby. Unfortunately, Daoist Quan Zhenzi did not set up a stall today, so Cai Wei simply cleaned up and had to go to Qingshan Taoist Temple in person.
