Chapter 778: Exhuming the Ground
The mountain breeze in early autumn has already felt a slight chill blowing on the body. Qian Yiduo walked in the woods for a while, and suddenly felt that the originally dark surroundings gradually became clearer, and as soon as he looked up, he realized that there had been a half-moon hanging in the sky.
The clear glow of the moonlight set off the quiet mountain forest particularly charming, but Qian Yiduo had no intention of enjoying this wonderful night scene, and the sound of crows from time to time made him feel uneasy.
He quickened his pace, and in a short time climbed up the hill, where there seemed to be an ancient tomb, like a huge crouching monster, drenched in the moonlight.
Qian Yiduo was not in a hurry to go, but cautiously walked around that place in a big circle in the woods. According to Yingzi, her ex-boyfriend and Liu Ren may be engaged in tomb robbery, which has to arouse Qian Yiduo's high vigilance.
After confirming that there was no one around, Qian Yiduo breathed a sigh of relief. When he came to the boulder, he put down his tools and carefully identified them for a moment.
The dream of the previous night almost exactly matched the terrain he had observed in the morning, which made it easy for him to locate the place to start.
He lightly hoeed a few times, and then a few more elsewhere, and his heart could not help but be ecstatic. There's definitely a treasure down there! Qian Yiduo quickly came to a conclusion from the fact that the tightness of the soil in this place and the surrounding soil was different.
He hunched himself and carefully ploughed the ground with his unworthy hoe. After a while, a foot-deep mud hole was dug.
Another hoe went down, and a strange feeling came from the handle of the hoe. Qian Yiduo immediately became excited, and from experience, he knew that he had dug something different from dirt and stones.
He quickly stopped, for fear that the hoe would smash the baby. By the moonlight, Qian Yiduo found a small piece of white flowers exposed in the soil pit.
He cautiously poked his hoe down, pulling dirt around the white object. After a while, the dirt underneath the object had emptied Qian Yiduo of a small piece, and he tried to press the tip of the hoe under the object, and sure enough, it hooked the object with ease.
Qian Yiduo exerted a little force in his hand, but he felt that although the object was a little loose, it seemed to be attached to something around him, and he couldn't hook the pit with a hoe.
Qian Yiduo took a deep breath, and with a fierce force, the hoe flew out of the dirt pit with the object, losing his balance and almost falling.
Qian Yiduo felt his shoulders sink, and a puff of dirt spilled from his head. He shook his head, wiped the dirt from his eyelids, and reached out his right hand to pinch the object that hung on his left shoulder.
A foul smell suddenly came to his nose, Qian Yiduo knew that something was wrong, under the moonlight, he could see clearly, it was a human arm, and the white flower he saw just now was the rotten palm attached to the arm.
The five finger bones of the white flower swayed in front of Qian Yiduo, and under the moonlight, they looked particularly terrifying.
Qian Yiduo was so frightened that he trembled all over, and threw the broken arm in his hand far away at once. He breathed a few breaths, only to feel that the stench on his hands and shoulders was still unbearable.
Fortunately, Qian Yiduo is experienced, and when he came out, he had already put the uneaten half bottle of Erguotou in the package. He opened the package, took out the second pot head, unscrewed the bottle, and took a big puff.
Qian Yiduo puffed out his cheeks and spewed out a mist of wine on his palm and left shoulder. The strong and fragrant smell of wine covered up the stench just now, and Qian Yiduo breathed a long sigh of relief, patted the soil on his body, and prepared to dig again.
As soon as he lifted the hoe into the air, he suddenly stopped, and the whole person stood as immobile as a sculpture.
Whether it was a dream last night or what I saw with my own eyes this morning, this should be an unseen Han and Tang Dynasty tomb, how could it be possible to dig up the arm of a person who is decomposing? Qian Yiduo's cold sweat broke out all at once.
He used to rob tombs, and he was not very afraid of white bones. At this time, it suddenly occurred to me that the man's arm had only just begun to decay, and this was obviously not the bones in the tomb, but the arm of a person who would not have been dead for more than half a month.
Qian Yiduo's face turned white, and his breathing began to be cramped. Could it be that what you see in your dream is that a ghost has turned into a dream and lured him to come and dig up the bones, so as to reveal his grievances to the world?
Qian Yiduo didn't dare to imagine it anymore, and his only thought was to leave this terrible hillside quickly, return to the small inn, stay until dawn, and then borrow the phone in Liu Ren's store to call the police.
He didn't bother to pack up the two farm tools he had quietly brought with him, but he picked up his package and hurriedly turned around and ran down the hillside.
As soon as he ran out of the road, Qian Yiduo suddenly stopped, his eyes staring in horror at a vacant lot not far away. But I saw that in the open space, on a boulder, there were two figures, a man and a woman.
In the middle of the night, who would be so bold to sit on a boulder in the middle of a barren mountain at night? Qian Yiduo broke out in a cold sweat: Ghost, it must be a ghost!
He regretted it in his heart, and he shouldn't have used his greed to rob the tomb. The wealth was not stolen, but a severed hand was dug up, and Qian Yiduo shouted in his heart. What scared him even more was that if the man and woman sitting on the rocks not far away were really ghosts, he was afraid that he would be more and less lucky tonight.
But this time he went back to his hometown alone, and Li Bing and Zhang Yuanshan were not around, which was what Qian Yiduo was most afraid of.
He didn't dare to move, staring blankly at the two black shadows in front of him.
Those two dark shadows are actually talking! Qian Yiduo listened for a while, and the fear in his heart suddenly disappeared, it turned out that these two black shadows were not ghosts, but a couple in love.
He remembered his life in his hometown when he was a child, and at that time, he often saw young men and women in the village who were in love, and would hide in places that few people usually visited. The pair of people in front of him, not surprisingly, should be people from this small mountain village at the foot of the hillside.
Qian Yiduo was very determined, and was about to turn around and leave to return to the small hotel, but he heard the couple's words become fierce, and there seemed to be some dispute.
Qian Yiduo looked back curiously, only to see that the couple had already stood on the ground from the boulder. The woman walked forward in a huff, and the man was anxious to keep apologizing and chasing after the woman.
At this glance, Qian Yiduo's body shook suddenly. It turned out that under the moonlight, the woman's graceful figure was quite similar to Yingzi.
Could it be that Yingzi is joking with herself? Qian Yiduo muttered in his heart: Yingzi was obviously with her boyfriend, and she lied to herself that she hadn't seen her boyfriend for a long time, so she asked her to help find it, this joke was too much, right?
In a hurry, he blurted out Yingzi's name. The woman heard Qian Yiduo call 'Yingzi', and subconsciously responded.
