Chapter 803: Two Coffins
A small boat stopped at the ferry, and the woman in black that Si Chen had seen that day was on the shore with the owner of the island.
Chen Peng commanded a dozen or so villagers dressed in black to get onto the boats one by one, and on the water not far away, a large boat with lanterns was waiting there.
Only the villagers boarded the boat, and Chen Peng, the woman in black, and the owner of the island did not move. When a dozen or so villagers left Luzhang Island, two slightly larger boats rowed over one after the other, each with a gloomy coffin. At the head of the ship, a young man in rich clothes stood at the bow of the ship, his appearance was outstanding, and he looked like a person with a background.
Si Chen crouched behind the boulders in the shallows, and looking from afar, she felt that the woman in black had faintly become excited when she saw the man who had crossed the water.
Soon the young man landed on the shore, and the woman in black walked a few steps briskly to meet him, and was deeply blessed, and said coquettishly:
"I've seen Lord Ye!"
"Miss Ziyan." The young man smiled, and after landing on the shore, Si Chen saw that this person was wearing half a mask, and he couldn't see his appearance.
It turned out that the woman's name was "Ziyan".
There are only two possibilities for calling a name or a surname: one is that the two parties are so close that they don't have to worry about men and women, but it seems that the relationship between the two is not close, it can be said that they are unfamiliar, the woman calls the man "Lord Ye", and the man does not seem to be on an equal footing with her, but at a higher level, and the two are more like a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
That's another possibility, this name "Ziyan" is a maid, a maid who serves people. Lord Ye calls her "Miss Ziyan", which means that this girl is not an ordinary maid, but should be a maid who serves Lord Ye's superiors.
Sure enough, after the two of them exchanged polite words, Miss Ziyan suddenly became shy and asked writhingly:
"Lord Ye, is the master on the way?"
Master Ye glanced at her with a smile and did not answer.
Zi Yan probably knew that she had trespassed, a little frightened, a little gloomy, and hung her head in disdain.
It seems that she is a maid with no future, Si Chen thought to himself.
"The goods are in here." Master Ye pointed to the two coffins that were carried ashore by his subordinates, and said to Zi Yan, "I have something important to do, so I will leave it to the girl, and the master will be very happy if she does a good job." ”
"Don't worry, my lord, Zi Yan will not disappoint the master." Zi Yan assured brightly.
Lord Ye smiled, didn't stay long, and left by boat again.
Zi Yan stood on the shore and watched him, and did not come back to her senses until the big boat drove away, her expression suddenly became cold, and she whispered to her subordinates: "Carry it away!" ”
His subordinates immediately lifted the two coffins and walked towards the depths of Luzhang Island.
The two coffins that were sent to the island in the middle of the night were "goods", of course Si Chen would not think that they were reselling the coffins, what was in the coffin, her heart was full of doubts.
There is no place to really hide things on Luzhang Island, this island is a village, after Si Chen's observation for so many days, everything here is on the bright side, because there are many people, the living is very tense, except for the firewood house, barn, vegetable cellar, it is the place where everyone lives.
At the beginning of spring, the mountains began to cut down trees and open land to build houses, probably for newcomers, just half built, after Zi Yan came to the island, she was not arranged in an exclusive house, Luzhang Island was not so particular, and it was not so thoughtful. Zi Yan is living in a wooden house that has just been built, but there are people around her, and the villagers are not allowed to approach, so it seems to be very magnificent, in fact, the house she lives in is no different from the house where ordinary villagers live, but it is her soft inside.
The two coffins were temporarily placed in an empty room next to the house where Zi Yan lived, guarded by several men in black.
Si Chen knew where the coffin was stored, because he was worried that Chen Sanniang would know that she was showing her feet outside, and she didn't want to startle the snake, so she left the mountainside and went back to her residence.
When she arrived at the residence, Chen Sanniang really didn't sleep and was still waiting for her, and when she saw that she finally came back, she breathed a sigh of relief and complained in a low voice:
"Why have you been around for so long? You're not going to see the tiger head again, are you? ”
Si Chen glanced at her and lowered his head slightly.
Seeing this, Chen Sanniang thought that she had acquiesced, and was anxious and angry: "What's the matter, why don't you listen to me when I say you, in case they find out......"
Seeing that she raised her voice all of a sudden, Si Chen hurriedly grabbed her and made a "shhh
Chen Sanniang also knew that she couldn't make a noise, she regretted and was afraid as soon as she said it, she looked around, fortunately she didn't alarm anyone, and when she saw Si Chen half-bowing her head and feeling pitiful, she pulled her to sit down, and persuaded her bitterly: "Don't go again, sleep, you have to get up early." ”
Si Chen nodded.
Chen Sanniang won't talk about it.
Nothing was said all night.
Si Chen originally wanted to find an opportunity to go to the mountainside to find out what was in the two coffins, but he never found the opportunity. During the day she was weaving in the weaving mill, and she was about to break the loom.
It is impossible to act alone during the day, and the people on the island are all doing their own duties during the day, and no one is allowed to leave their posts, and once they leave, they will immediately let people know that they will be hunted down by the whole island.
Si Chen has already experienced it once before, and he doesn't know where he came from, he was hiding on the island in broad daylight, and was discovered by the people who were opening the ground, and with the shouts of beating gongs and drums, the people of the whole island immediately put down the work in their hands and copied the guy to chase, and finally caught it after a morning, it is said that it is a water thief who came to step on the point, and now it has been sent to the government.
Unless you are planning to slaughter the island and are not afraid of being discovered, it is impossible to walk around the island at will in broad daylight.
There was a chance to go out at night, but Chen Sanniang watched her closely in the past two days. Chen Sanniang is also for her good, afraid that her orphans and widows will be driven out and starve to death outside.
With Chen Sanniang watching, Si Chen couldn't act arbitrarily, and Shen Run didn't have any information to send to her these days, Yan Ying didn't know where to run, she sat in the loom all day long and listened to the loom constantly making a creaking sound like grinding teeth, and she wanted to burn the weaving mill with a fire.
When it was time to allow to visit the children, Si Chen and Chen Sanniang lined up to see the children, the children of the two were still young and still in the nursery room, and the older children were already studying in the school.
Si Chen sat in the nursery room with the tiger's head in his arms, and could faintly hear the childish recitation sound coming from the school, those children were not reading the commonly used enlightenment books, nor the "Four Sages Collection" and "Thousand Character Text", but reciting the scriptures. The meaning of the scriptures is that Si Chen feels very strange when he listens to it, to the effect that heaven and earth are about to be destroyed, and people will perish in the wrath of the gods, and only those who sincerely believe in the god of fire can have the purest soul, and only those who have the purest soul can purify the dirty world, and only by purifying the dirt of the earthly world can the anger of the gods be calmed, and only the destruction of heaven and earth and the destruction of man can be avoided.
It's pretty much the same as what is instilled in the morning class.
This is not something to be taught to children.
