Chapter 327: Searching for the Tomb
As soon as he went out, he couldn't even see the road clearly, "Su Wu, light a candle, go to the front to open the way, and hand over everything to me to hold." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Niu Tingting said, taking over the hoe I resisted.
I took out a match, lit the candle with a "poof", and lit the candle, which was a little strange in the silence of the night, but the faint light was too useful, so I walked ahead with my hand to protect the flame, and came out of Wang Changjun's house, and went down the slope and into the field.
This kind of scene reminds me of a scene that Wang Changjun talked about before, that is, he and Shen Lao Er carried a hoe to bury the corpse, which is similar to me and Niu Tingting now, but they are buried, we are digging, and I can't help but sigh, there is always such a seemingly coincidental existence in life, and I don't know if this is an arrangement in the dark.
Niu Tingting behind her asked: "Su Wu, before in the living room, Aunt Chen and I heard the sound of the glass breaking in the back room, so we ran in and found that you were not there, did you really see a ghost at that time?" And chased out? Do you really see clearly? What does that look like? ”
I didn't expect her to be still entangled in this problem, and after thinking about it, I experienced it myself, but she hadn't felt it yet, so I nodded and said, "This ghost seems to be eavesdropping on my conversation with Uncle Wang, but I can't find it at all when I chase it out, but I'm sure it's definitely real." ”
Saying that, I turned my head with a solemn face: "Niu Tingting, you must always pay attention to the surroundings, this ghost is very powerful, Uncle Wang's calves and even the belt flesh has been erased, don't be suddenly affected by it, and catch up, maybe this thing is hiding somewhere around here, peeping at our every move." ”
"Hearing you say this, my goosebumps are rising, don't be so serious, it will give me a sense of foreboding." Niu Tingting really started to get nervous, looking around expectantly, wishing that there would be a pair of eyes behind her head.
"Don't talk about hunches, let's think about the good place, I'm also beating the drum in my heart." It is said that women have a sixth and seventh sense, if they have a good premonition, then it's okay to say, if they are unknown, don't mention it.
After a gust of cloudy wind, there was a continuous chaotic sound of "huh" in the rice field in the distance, and the candle I was holding in my hand was instantly blown out, and it was suddenly dark.
"Su Wu!" Niu Tingting shouted.
"What's wrong?" I was stopping to draw matches.
"Why can't you even protect a candle, hurry up and light it." Niu Tingting urged.
Finally lit the fire, in this environment, there is a fire more reassuring than a gun, looking at Niu Tingting frowned slightly, maybe blaming me, just now we were talking about paying attention to safety, and the next second the fire in my hand was blown out, I was embarrassed to say: "Come, you take the candle and give me the hoe." ”
"Okay, let's go, stop babbling and extinguishing the fire, it's really worrying." Niu Tingting couldn't really be angry.
This time, I was more careful to protect the flames, because we were very close to the back of the old house, only a few dozen meters.
We walked another twenty or thirty meters before stopping, the terrain behind this ancient house is relatively flat, it is this wasteland, except for some vertical and horizontal ravines of the slopes, ridges, is some sparse weeds, can be regarded as a glance to sweep the whole picture. If it's all dense grass and jungle, it's troublesome.
However, at this glance, there are dozens of meters in a radius, and there is no conspicuous tomb protrusion. Wang Changjun said before that they dug behind the ancient mansion, so it should be in this range.
"You wait for me here, I'll look around." As I spoke, I lit another candle and handed it to Niu Tingting.
"Let's find it together." Niu Tingting put the hoe on the ground, picked up the candle and began to look around, while asking, "What kind of grave is it?" ”
"At that time, when they buried them, they dug them on the spot, and they were relatively hasty, and they didn't pile up very high tombs, I guess they were a little higher than the flat ground, anyway, let's look for it, I don't think it's good." As I spoke, I looked closer to the back of the house, where there were windows on the first and second floors, and they were so dark that they reflected the candlelight in my hand, and I could see my image clearly through the windows.
I didn't get too close, because at that time Wang Changjun was taboo about the ancient house, it was impossible to dig a hole in the corner of the wall, I looked around, found nothing, turned around and began to search in the direction away from the ancient house, the progress was a little slow, after all, the light of the candle is limited, and we don't know the shape of the tomb, we can only gradually walk around, while checking.
In the midst of the concentrated search, Niu Tingting shouted excitedly: "Su Wu, come and take a look, is it here?" ”
"It's coming!" I replied, and at this time, I felt that something was looking at me on the second floor of the ancient house, I turned my head to look up, the window was as black as ink, even if there was something staring at me inside, I couldn't see it, forget it, I had to be a little more careful secretly, grabbed the hoe not far away, and ran towards Niu Tingting.
As soon as she got close to Niu Tingting, she pointed to a piece of ground under her feet and asked me, "Look, is it here?" ”
I looked at it, and at first glance, this piece of land was no different from the one next to it, the color, soil quality, and terrain were no different, but there was only one thing, this place, the vegetation was relatively lush, and I sighed: "These two charred corpses are the nutrients that have become this dry earth." ”
"What do you mean?" Niu Tingting asked rhetorically.
"Huh? Don't you think it's lush and it's a place where the bodies are buried? I asked.
"Huh? Oh, yes, why didn't I think of it," Niu Tingting patted her head, looking suddenly realized, and then said: "I didn't think of plants, but I saw these cigarette butts." ”
I leaned over the cat's waist, and sure enough, there were a few yellow cotton-like substances, which should be the remnants of the cigarette holder, yes, it had long been scattered and soaked and difficult to identify, this Niu Tingting's observation is really good, since someone has smoked several cigarettes here, it can explain the so-called tomb, most of them are here!
Looking back at the old house, it was at least forty or fifty meters apart, which was much farther than I expected, and they actually carried the body so far to bury it.
"Niu Tingting, you're right, it should be here, I didn't expect you to be so careful."
"Come on, don't praise me, let's do it." Niu Tingting grabbed a hoe and held it in her hand.
"When digging a little lighter, the body must not be buried deeply." As I spoke, I also grabbed the hoe and began to dig up, Niu Tingting's strength is not small, I am afraid that she will use too much force and dig up the charred corpse into corpse pieces, which will not be good.
