Seeing his mother bedridden day by day, and her physical condition getting worse and worse, Chen Benzhong began to get anxious. He discussed with his brother several times, wanting his brother to return to his old profession, go to a vote, and change a bowl of dumplings for his mother, but Chen Benyi just disagreed, and the two brothers quarreled about it.

Chen Benzhong was so angry in his heart, and he didn't know who his second brother's temper was following, why he was so stubborn, holding on to his father's last life, and he had to stick to his principles. Yes! You stick to your principles, I have my ideas, if you don't go, then I'll go by myself!

Chen Benzhong, who had made up his mind, took action. He found a miner with whom he had a good relationship, and the two of them switched shifts. As a price, Chen Benzhong helped that kid top two shifts in exchange for him to help him top it once. Coupled with his rest time, Chen Benzhong squeezed out nearly two days for himself, so he took a shovel and his good citizen certificate and went straight to Linhai County.

At that time, the Northeast was the rear of the Japanese army, and all kinds of timber and mineral resources here were the most needed by the front line. Instead, some appeasement policies were adopted, and workers also had their own rest periods, as well as time limits for going to and from work.

The main thing is that the workers still have some personal freedom. Chen Benzhong's certificate of good citizenship is from Linhai County, that is to say, within the scope of Linhai County, he is basically unimpeded, and the people guarding the checkpoint are only simply checked, and they will not embarrass people with good citizen certificates too much. However, this is limited to the Linhai County area, and if you want to leave here, you can't pass the checkpoint outside the county without a special road.

The journey was very smooth, and after more than two hours of hard work, Chen Benzhong came to Linhai County, more than ten kilometers away, and went straight to his goal this time. Chen Benzhong had already planned before, the tomb is not something you can have if you want to steal, not to mention that there are no big tombs near here at all, so Chen Benzhong decided that this time he would not rob the tomb, but to dig the grave.

Two years ago, the only daughter of President Ma, the chairman of the Linhai County Maintenance Association, died of a serious illness, and the Great Walnut Iron Mine at that time also sent a condolence team to the festival. The people of this team helped President Ma dig a cemetery for his daughter, and Chen Benzhong was one of the people who dug the cemetery at that time.

When Chen Benzhong was on the way, he thought clearly, although some precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings in this area have been looted by the Japanese, but as the president of the local maintenance association, President Ma's family background should still be very solid. And there should be something valuable in the funeral goods of his only daughter, which must not be so shabby. Besides, I really don't know where there are other graves to dig up, so I will try my luck there.

The grave of President Ma's daughter is on Mao'er Mountain on the edge of Linhai County. Mao'er Mountain is the name of a mountain, and it is also the name of the place before the Linhai County area, and later it was changed to Linhai County. This cemetery was opened by the Japanese, and the people who can be buried here are either the Japanese who died here, or some so-called traitors with heads and faces or their families.

It is precisely because this cemetery is more important that there is a special hut to take care of the cemetery, that is, I am afraid that someone will worry about the burial goods here, or take any action to retaliate against the traitors. The hut is inhabited by a man who watches the graveyard all year round, but since the graveyard was built, there has not been a single exhumation of the grave.

In addition, there is a Japanese background there, and no one who is not open-eyed dares to come here to dig graves. The local people did not dare to dig, and people from other places could not enter, so after a long time, the people who watched the grave often fished for three days and dried the nets for two days, and often did not do their jobs.

Coincidentally, on the night Chen Benzhong came, there was no one in the hut where the grave was visited. So Chen Benzhong found the grave of President Ma's daughter according to his memory. Mao'er Mountain is a stone mountain, and the soil on the surface of the mountain is not very thick, so when buried here, it is usually only the lower half of the coffin, and the soil outside the coffin is not very thick.

Although Chen Benzhong, who has been working in the iron mine all the year round, usually does not have enough to eat, because he has been smashing stones with a sledgehammer all year round, he has also trained a body of muscles, and he can be regarded as having a lot of strength. Coupled with the shovel in his hand, it didn't take much time for Chen Benzhong to dig up all the floating soil on the coffin lid.

At the beginning, Chen Benzhong was still not afraid of the sky, but when he saw the coffin, he already regretted it. After all, he was alone at this time, and this was the first time he had done this kind of thing alone. Before, when he went to the grave, he always followed his father and brother, and with them by his side, he was not afraid even if he saw the corpse, but now it is different.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Chen Benzhong remembered his mother lying on the hospital bed, so he gritted his teeth and inserted the shovel into the gap under the coffin lid and pried it a few times, and with a creaking sound, the coffin lid was pried up by him.

The place where Chen Benzhong pried open was the end of the coffin, and he did this to reduce his fear and avoid seeing the corpse's face. As the lid of the coffin was pushed aside by him, the bright moonlight shone into the coffin, revealing the two legs of the coffin. Chen Benzhong saw at a glance a pair of red embroidered shoes on the corpse's feet.

Maybe it's the moonlight, the red embroidered shoes at this time look particularly crimson, particularly dazzling, and extraordinarily scary. Seeing this scene, Chen Benzhong only felt that an electric current flowed through his whole body in an instant. He shuddered, so frightened that the hairs and hair on his whole body stood up, and Chen Benzhong, who was in fear, didn't care to look closely, grabbed a cloth bag in the coffin, and ran down the mountain as if flying.

ran for a long distance in one breath, until he saw the lights of Linhai County in front of him, Chen Benzhong stopped in a hidden place on the side of the road, lying on the ground panting heavily. After resting for a while, Chen Benzhong felt that his soul had returned to his body, so he let out a sigh of relief and slowly opened the cloth bag he was holding.

The cloth bag was tied very dead, and at the same time, the knotted place of the cloth bag was already wet with sweat in his hands. It took a lot of effort for Chen Benzhong to open this burden, but after seeing the contents inside, Chen Benzhong couldn't wait to slap himself a few big mouths. He found himself making a very fatal mistake.
