Chapter 344: Mass Graves
The night is getting deeper and colder, and the meaning of winter is becoming more and more obvious.
This kind of chill is even more obvious in the mass grave, coupled with the silky mist that rises at some point, and the sound of night owls crying and complaining, people can't help but feel weak in their legs, and even if they are less courageous, they can even urinate directly into the crotch of their pants.
No matter where it is, there will be no shortage of mass graves, even if Liancheng is the new capital of the Western Desert. Many of the victims of the various conspiracies and calculations in the palace, and the poor worms under the anger of the master, will be thrown into such a place.
Therefore, in the northwest of Liancheng, there is also a mass grave.
But fortunately, the current emperor of the Western Desert is still benevolent, so there is no scene where there are corpses all over the ground and no one collects them, even if he is lazy, he will dig a shallow pit and bury people, so there is no scene of white bones and corpses on the ground.
So there are only mounds of different sizes, and the grass is overgrown. There were three or five dead trees around, and the leaves had already fallen away, and they looked even more terrifying in the night.
If there is another fire in such an inaccessible place, it will be even more terrifying, and the two will tremble.
But in the middle of this mass grave, there was really a fire!
The night breeze was bleak, and there was even a hint of whimpering among the dead trees and grass, which also made the flame sway, and at the same time, it also reflected the two black figures next to it fluttering and distorting, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, looking like a terrible ghost from a distance!
When I got closer, I could even hear one of them whispering: "It's all this hour, why haven't you seen anyone coming?" ”
This is a man in his forties, slightly fat, with a very ordinary face, a pair of mouse-like eyes, showing a trace of impatience, and the tone of his voice is even more dissatisfied!
"How do we know about the above?" The other had a sallow face, two mustaches, a withered and thin body, and a high-pitched voice, if you don't listen carefully, it looks like a woman's voice, "Just do your part!" ”
The mouse-eyed man continued to complain: "Tell me, we have all been born in peace for more than ten years, just for such a woman, all of them were exposed, and I don't know what the above thinks!" ”
Then, without waiting for the sallow-faced man to speak, he continued: "What's more, this is obviously an impossible thing! That's a character that even the emperor doesn't dare to offend, how can he run to the west of the city to exchange because of a sick seedling? Even if she still has a brother who cares about her safety, she can't resist the entire army of the Western Desert alone! ”
The sallow-faced man finally waited for a chance to speak, shook his head, and said, "What you said is also not right! Although it is said that no one, including the emperor, will agree to exchange the Lady of Amaterasu for the sick seedling, but what if the Mother of Tensho herself agrees? ”
He pursed his lips and lowered his head to flick the fire in front of him, but the fire was getting darker and darker: "A group of beggars can deceive the women of the past, and their hearts should not be too hard. Her brother pleaded again, or used a bitter ploy or something, and Amaterasu might have agreed! ”
The mouse-eyed man saw the fire dim, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and pushed the sallow man hard: "Hey, hey, I said what are you doing, if you keep it down, the fire should be extinguished, and I don't want to freeze to death if you want to!" ”
The sallow-faced man was pushed by him and brought out a branch that was on fire, and the fire became even more dim, almost extinguished!
The mouse-eyed man didn't bother complaining for a while, stood up, walked a few steps to the dead tree, stretched out his hand and snapped a branch, broke it and carefully added it to the fire, and then carefully played with it, and finally made the fire a little stronger.
"I'm afraid of drinking and making mistakes, and I don't let people roast the fire, do you really want to freeze to death?" The mouse-eyed man was very dissatisfied, "This is a mass grave, even if it is seen, who dares to come and check it in the middle of the night?" ”
The sallow-faced man didn't seem to want to argue with him, or maybe he also felt a chill, so he didn't stop the other party, but silently stretched out his hand and slowly roasted it on the fire.
"What the above tells us to do, let's do it!" The man with a sallow face said slowly, "You and I have been lurking in the West Desert for many years, and we have even married and had children, which can be regarded as taking root, but now we are all suddenly abandoned, and it is normal for people to be reluctant to give up." However, don't say that I, as a brother, didn't remind you, these years have indeed been calm, but don't forget your identity, let alone the punishment methods of the torture hall! ”
When he said this, a cold wind happened to blow, which directly made the mouse-eyed man shiver, and he didn't know whether it was the cold, or the fear that rose from the word torture.
So the two of them fell silent, and the mouse-eyed man opened a paper bag, took out a few peanuts from it, and threw them into his mouth, but the chewing ground was a little tasteless.
The sallow-faced man took out another paper bag from his arms and handed it over: "Eat this!" ”
The aroma of roast chicken emanated through the greasy paper packet, which made the mouse-eyed man's eyes light up, so he took it, tore the oily paper twice, pulled out an oily chicken leg and chewed it.
In a blink of an eye, a chicken leg went down to his stomach, and he seemed to remember the sallow-faced man opposite, so the other chicken leg that had just been torn off was put to his mouth and moved away, handed it to the other party, and said with some embarrassment: "Second brother Rong, you can eat it too." ”
Known as "Second Brother Rong", the sallow-faced man shook his head and pushed the chicken leg in front of the mouse-eyed man again: "I'm not hungry yet, you eat first, remember to leave some for that woman, in case you starve to death, it's hard to explain!" ”
As he spoke, Second Brother Rong leaned sideways and pointed behind him.
With the direction of his finger, a small grave bag appeared in sight, of course there could be no tombstone, a black hole that only allowed one person to burrow into it appeared in the light of the fire, at first glance, it looked like the bloody mouth of a wild beast.
The mouse-eyed man froze for a moment, bit the chicken leg in his hand fiercely, and chewed it twice quickly, before he said vaguely: "That sick seedling?" Got it! ”
However, he didn't get up immediately, he finished gnawing the other chicken leg in his hand three times and two times, and ripped off two large pieces of meat from the remaining chicken, and then wrapped the roast chicken that had most of the bones left again, stood up, walked to the entrance of the cave step by step, and threw the paper bag into it: "Hurry up and eat, don't starve to death!" ”
Suddenly there was a sound in the black earth cave, and a moment later a woman's weak voice came: "I...... Out of reach ......"
"What a piece of rubbish!" The rat-eyed man who had just sat down cursed in a low voice, and then whispered towards the hole, "Don't you have long hands, find it yourself!" ”
The voice of Si Suo was heard again in the cave, and then the woman's weaker voice came: "I can't move......"
"What do you think is still a daughter!" The rat-eyed man was already extremely impatient, and shouted at the hole, "If you can't find it, don't eat it!" Lao Tzu should be fed to the dog! ”
"Brother, you extinguish the anger first." Second Brother Rong on the side couldn't stand it, and finally spoke, and at the same time took out a slightly thicker firewood from the fire, held it in his hand and temporarily counted it as a torch for lighting, and stretched it towards the soil hole behind him.
In the soil hole, in the tousled hair, a pale face flashed, startling the mouse-eyed man who also stretched out his head to watch, and almost fell to the ground!
He couldn't help but scold, but Second Brother Rong was already holding a simple torch and dangling around the entrance of the cave: "On the side of your left foot." ”
There was not much space in the soil hole, and the woman could only accommodate herself, and it was very difficult to turn around in it, so she slowly arched her body, stretched her fingers to her feet, and tried to grab the paper bag, regardless of the fact that there was a lot of dirt on it, she directly tore open the paper bag, held the most half of the chicken bone rack in her hand, and tore off the only remaining chicken meat in one bite, and swallowed it in two bites.
The woman was obviously so hungry that she wouldn't stop even if she was choking and rolling her eyes. When there is no meat, I simply stuff the bone in my mouth and chew it. At this time, Second Brother Rong had already taken back the burning firewood, and he could no longer see the woman's pale face, and could only hear the chewing sound of "click", which came from the dark earth cave, and in this mass grave, it sounded very terrible.
The mouse-eyed man was still complaining, "What a trouble! I hope the kid surnamed Long can come soon, so that we can hand over the people and not have to stay in such a ghost place! ”
After finishing speaking, he also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly "babble" for a while, regardless of whether his saliva sprayed into the soil hole, and said a few more "no taboos" before giving up.
Unexpectedly, the chewing sound in the soil cave suddenly stopped for a moment, and then the woman's voice came faintly: "The surname is Long, Long Zhijun?" ”
This sentence made Second Brother Rong and the mouse-eyed man look at each other, and almost at the same time stood up and rushed to the dirt hole, the mouse-eyed man was about to speak, but was stopped by Second Brother Rong's look.
"We don't know about that." Second Brother Rong pondered the words, "We are soft-spoken, just a little-known person, the girl's question, I really don't know how to answer." ”
The sound of chewing bones in the cave sounded again, and at the same time it became louder and louder, as if with a strong hatred, "click" and "click" fluttered away with the night wind, and even the crows around the dead trees seemed to be frightened, and they cried a few times, fluttered their wings and flew up, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
Second Brother Rong glared at the mouse, and the latter hurriedly covered his mouth, but he was frightened by the crow's cry, and he fell to the ground!
"Hehehaha......"
The woman's sneer suddenly came from the cave, and in the mass grave in the dark night, it was like a ghost screaming, which made people can't help but get goosebumps all over their bodies.
The mouse-eyed man's face was pale, and at the same time he was a little angry: "Stinky girl, you're still proud that you didn't stop your mouth, aren't you?" ”
As he spoke, he tore off a large piece of cloth from his body indiscriminately, but he hesitantly glanced at Second Brother Rong on the side, but unexpectedly, the latter bowed slightly to him, and actually agreed to his actions!
So, after a burst of Suosuo's voice, the woman's sneer came to an abrupt end!
