Chapter 28: The Silver-Haired Old Man

Cao Ruoqi and I walked down the stone steps quickly, through the flat land at the foot of the mountain, and came to the wasteland, and not far away we saw a small mountain bag that had just been piled up, and the soil was still new.

I am extremely indignant in my heart, this indiscriminate burning village is really not a good village, and such a big thing as the death of people, not only did not call the police, but buried here like this. What makes me even more speechless is that there is not even a simple tombstone here, and even if a stone is erected here, people will know that there is a person buried here.

That dirt bag was not high, but it was raised by less than half a meter, Lin Ling's body should be buried not deep below, if a heavy rain fell, it was possible for this grave to be washed away.

I didn't speak, I bent down and began to dig, since I was here, how could I not be sure? If Lin Ling is really dead and the body is in this grave bag, I will dig this grave a little deeper, and then find a way to make a simple coffin, at least not let him be decomposed in the dirt like this.

"Shen Wang, what are you doing? Want to dig a grave? Cao Ruoqi said anxiously, "This is disrespectful to the deceased." ”

"Hehe, is it a respect for him to treat him like this by burning the village?" I said as I dug through the dirt with my bare hands.

Cao Ruoqi was speechless, she stretched out her hand and pulled me and said, "Shen Wang, you really can't dig his grave, so that he will be unhappy if he has a knowledge under the spring." ”

I ignored Cao Ruoqi's persuasion, digging and digging felt like I had touched a corpse.

I quickly swept away the dirt from the corpse, revealing a head, which was really Lin Ling's, but there were no scars on his head, not even red and swollen.

After confirming that it was Lin Ling, I sat on the ground decadently, looking at his face that no longer had much blood, I felt inexplicably sad in my heart, and suddenly felt that in this village, I was the only one left, and everyone else had become an outlier, including Cao Ruoqi beside me.

If it was in the huó dòng center that she couldn't wait to respond to Lei Hao was forced, then the conversation and laughter of their family outside the house just now made me completely disappointed in her, and I even felt that the current Cao Ruoqi and the previous Cao Ruoqi were not the same person at all.

"Quickly cover the grave back, he can't bask in the sun now, this is called exposing the corpse, which is very bad for Lin Ling's reincarnation." Cao Ruoqi said.

I turned my head to look at Cao Ruoqi, her expression was very anxious, I nodded, put the pulled dirt on his face again, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds, it should not rain in a short time.

"Brother, you wait for me, I'll go and prepare a coffin, ready, and then come and bury you again." I said as I covered Lin Ling with soil. No matter why Lin Ling was killed by Qiu Wu, he helped me after all.

After filling in the soil, I turned my head to look at Cao Ruoqi, who was starting to arrange the plate and prepare to worship it, and said, "Ruoqi, is there a carpenter in your village?" ”

Cao Ruoqi shook her head, there is no carpenter in our village, if you want to get a coffin, you can go to the next village to buy it and ask someone else to send it over.

"The next village? How to go? "I looked around, and it seemed that there was only one way to go, and that was the valley from which we came.

Cao Ruoqi pointed to the top of the mountain and said, climb over the mountain, walk about ten kilometers again, and you can get there, but there is no road over there, and it is easy to get lost if you are not familiar with the road.

"Are you familiar with that? Take me there. I asked.

Cao Ruoqi silently shook her head and said, "I'm not familiar with it," only the older generation knows, and today is the Midyear Festival, the old people in the village are busy, and no one will accompany you to buy a coffin. ”

"Oh, will anyone accompany me tomorrow?" I know that what Cao Ruoqi said is the truth, it is impossible for someone to accompany me to buy a coffin so far away at this time, and the Midyear Festival is the festival they attach the most importance to.

"Hahaha, you can live until tomorrow." Lei Hao's voice suddenly came, and he walked out from behind a rock, his words with sarcasm.

"It's not noon yet, I can't wait to die?" I'm not afraid of him anymore, he's going to come sooner or later, so why bother so much?

Lei Hao glared at me, walked to Lin Ling's grave in two steps, kicked off a large piece of broken soil with his foot, and said in his mouth: "If it weren't for Lao Tzu's laziness, I really want to dig you out and whip your corpse." ”

"Hehe, when you die, I won't be so lazy." I said sarcastically, silently filling back the pinch of loess, and turned to walk towards the village.

Lei Hao snorted coldly and walked towards the center of Huó Dòng.

I need to go find Meng Yao, and I'm going to go to the ring with Lei Hao at noon, and I'm definitely going to get the bǐ shǒu and jade pendant back first.

Cao Ruoqi also quickly followed, and asked, "Shen Wang, where are you going?" ”

"Walk around, scatter your mind, Ruoqi, you go back first." I said lightly.

"I'm sorry, Shen Wang, in the morning at the Huó Dòng Center, I was forced, if I don't cooperate, he can go to the three Lan sisters, so I will be killed." Cao Ruoqi said a little aggrieved.

I smiled, turned to look at her and said, "Well, I know, by the way, Ruoqi, isn't the breakfast at the huó dòng center weird?" ”

Cao Ruoqi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's not weird, aren't you okay if you eat it?" ”

"I didn't eat it!"

"Huh? You didn't eat breakfast? This is not good, let's go home and eat some later, otherwise you will definitely not have the strength to go to the ring with Lei Hao at noon. Cao Ruoqi asked worriedly.

I hummed and said, "No need, I'll go to the huó dòng center to eat, you go home first, today is the Midyear Festival, your village should be very busy." ”

The reason why I say this is because I saw a few women from the village walking towards the patriarch Bing'er's house, and I won't eat breakfast, whether it's Ruoqi's family or the center of the sensation, I gag when I see it.

Cao Ruoqi nodded: "Okay, then you wait for me, eat more breakfast, and I'll come to cheer you on at noon." ”

I smiled, looked at Cao Ruoqi, and shook my head speechlessly, she had been trying her best to get pregnant and help me before, and she didn't seem to have any nervousness now, she just said something to cheer me on, I'm going to work hard, cheering has an egg?

Turning around and walking towards the center of Huó Dòng, I turned to look at Cao Ruoqi, who had already walked briskly up the stone steps. I paused for a moment, and instead of entering the Huó Dòng center, I turned around and ran towards Meng Yao's house.

When I came to the door of Meng Yao's house, the appearance was the same as Cao Ruoqi's house, and it was the same as five rooms, but the doors were all closed, and I don't know if Meng Yao also went to Da Bing'er's house, if so, then I can only pray that she will come back soon.

Even with this thought, I knocked on the door of the largest house in the middle, and her house was so big that she should be the only one living there.

"Knock knock." The knock on the door was muffled, the door must be very old.

knocked three times in a row, but there was still no response inside, it seems that Meng Yao really lives here alone.

"Come in! The door is unlocked. An old, low voice came from inside the room, and I would not have heard it had I had not approached the door or had I taken a step too early.

I was overjoyed, and quickly pushed the door and walked in, this voice sounded like a man's voice, and he was still very old, it was definitely not the foreign men I had seen before, it should be the people from the village who burned the village.

As soon as the door was opened, I found that the layout here was different from Cao Ruoqi's house, I thought that the houses in the whole village were the same, but unfortunately the structure and furniture placement in this house were different.

Although the room is the same size, there is a lot more furniture in this room, there are tables and chairs, beds, stoves, cabinets, etc., as long as it is common people's homes, there are all here, and there is a liè qiāng and a bow and arrow on the wall, in addition, there are some animal skins hanging on the wall.

It seems that this family is a hunter.

A silver-haired old man sat on the inside of the tea table against the wall, his right hand on the tea table, his left hand drooping, looking at me with a smile.

And on the tea table, in addition to the tea set, there are two other things, my fruit knife the same size as bǐ shǒu and my sister's jade pendant.

"Excuse me, old man, I'm here to find Meng Yao to get my things back, she's not at home?" I said politely, although I knew that Meng Yao should have gone to the patriarch's house, I still had to ask.

The silver-haired old man still smiled and said, "I know what you came to find Meng Yao, and Meng Yao went to you and even took away your jade pendant and bǐ shǒu, which I also signaled, come, sit down first, and we will talk while drinking tea." ”

I hummed and sat down across from the old man.

"Old man, do you have anything to do with me?" I asked, confused.

(The first watch, there is something to do this afternoon, and the second watch will be later.) )
