At this time, Wang Mang stopped halfway down the mountain road, and the villagers who followed him were chatting with each other.

"Brother Tiezhu, you said that this road is so difficult to walk, the village chief is so old, how can he walk so fast, and he will not be left behind. Wang Mang said with a tired face.

Tie Zhu said with a smile: "We grew up in this mountain, and for us, walking on mountain roads is the same as walking normally. ”

Wang Mang drank the water in the kettle: "Okay...... Although it wasn't hot on this day, I walked for most of the day, and I was really hungry and thirsty."

Wang Mang looked around and saw a small river on the side of the road: "Brother Tiezhu, I'll go over there to wash my hands and wipe my boots by the way." ”

Tie Zhu looked at Wang Mang who was walking towards the river: "Be careful. ”

"Got it. Wang Mang walked to the side of the road and looked at the muddy river: "Why is this water so dirty?" ”

Then he took out a pink silk scarf embroidered with HelloKitty from the pocket of his shirt on his chest, climbed the branches on the side of the road, and washed the mud from his boots in the muddy river water.

After awkwardly washing one boot, get up and prepare to change to another boot.

"Oops, my silk scarf. Wang Mang climbed the branch and stretched out his arms to fish it up, but the helpless person was too fat and his hands were too short, so he could only watch the silk scarf float down the river.

"Hmph!" Wang Mang pouted, slowly followed the silk scarf along the side of the road, saw that the roadside in front of him was closer to the silk scarf, decisively passed, climbed the branch that was thinner than before, leaned down and scooped up the silk scarf.

"Oh yes. Wang Mang said as he finished cleaning the remaining boots, turned on and prepared to go ashore.

"Click......" Wang Mang stared at the broken branch he was holding in his hand and fell into the river.

"Smack, bang...... Oops. Wang Mang was soaked and stood up from the river.

"So careless, come on, come on, hurry up, I'll pull you up. The iron pillar that heard the movement not far away immediately rushed over, holding on to the trees on the side of the road and stretched out his right hand to Wang Mang.

Wang Mang came from the water, took Tiezhu's hand, and was about to exert his strength to go ashore, but he heard Tiezhu shouting: "There is a snake!"

"Ah!!" Wang Mang was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't care about 3721, let go of the iron pillar's hand, climbed onto the shore in three or two clicks, and ran towards the shore.

"Oops...... "Caught off guard for a moment, he tripped over a branch, and saw a vine wrapped around his feet, and the vine was pulled out of the water by him, and he pulled out of the broken tree that was wrapped under the water, and the branches of the tree were full of bat corpses.......

The village chief led the villagers and Xue Ergou from a distance and saw the bat corpse on the branch.

Xue Ergou was very puzzled: "Why are so many bats soaked in the water?"

The village chief was also puzzled: "It's strange, we have never had so many bats in Longxing Village. ”

Xue Ergou: "Village Chief, please send everyone to look for it and see if there are any bat nests." ”

The village chief nodded after hearing this, turned around and ordered the villagers behind him.

Xue Ergou saw that Wang Mang was shivering from the side: "Dead fatty, how are you." ”

Wang Mang's teeth chattered and said, "It's okay, it's just a little cold." ”

Seeing that Wang Mang was fine, he immediately took him, the village chief and others towards the village.

On the way back, Xue Ergou expressed his confusion to the village chief.

After hearing this, the village chief said, "After the widow Yang Cuihua died, I arranged for someone to collect her body. How to say that Yang Cuihua is also from Longxing Village. Although she had an affair with a man from another village, she would not be put into the ancestral hall after her death, and she would not be buried in the ancestral land, so I ordered someone to find a random place to bury her.

Hearing this, Xue Ergou suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and was very puzzled: "Why do you want to collect her corpse, wouldn't it be better to let the beast take it away?"

The village chief walked leisurely: "Don't you know that people die like lights go out, and the sins of life should also disappear after death......

Back in the village, the village chief sent the villagers to look for the bat nest, but for three days they found nothing.

The village chief's house.

Xue Ergou, who thought about it for a long time: "Village Chief, if you can't find the bat nest, put this matter aside for the time being, I want to go and see the place where Yang Cuihua is buried." ”

The village chief who was sitting on the threshold basking in the sun and smoking a dry cigarette: "Okay, I'll let people find the two villagers who buried Yang Cuihua." ”

Xue Ergou: "Hmm. ”

Not long after, the people sent by the village chief brought two villagers to the village chief's house, but they didn't expect that the previous villager Tie Zhu was one of them.

Xue Ergou: "Trouble the two eldest brothers, take me to the place where Yang Cuihua is buried." ”

Tie Zhu and another villager, Liu Laohan, said in unison: "Okay, no problem. ”

The front of Longxing Village faces south, and the back side leans against the mountains and forests facing the north, Xue Ergou, Wang Mang, the village chief, Tie Zhu, Liu Laohan and others, through the lush mountains and forests, cross the river, and finally come to the place where Yang Cuihua is buried.

This is a valley, and everyone is at the mouth of the valley.

The village chief looked at the valley in front of him and said to Xue Ergou: "This used to be a mass grave, as long as the people in our village did not abide by the law, they were dirty here. ”

Wang Mang on the side listened: "Old Xue, what is a mass grave?"

Xue Ergou helplessly supported his forehead: "Mass graves, also called mass graves, no one manages the earthen hill where people can bury the corpses." During wars, plagues, and natural disasters, due to the excessive number of deaths, they were hastily buried, so that later the bones were everywhere and overgrown with weeds, commonly known as mass graves. ”

Wang Mang: "Oh. ”

Xue Ergou ignored Wang Mang, took two steps forward, took out the dragon hunting plate from his backpack and put it in his left hand, looking at the feng shui pattern around this valley, hoping to see something.

I saw that the peaks around the valley were towering into the clouds, blocking the light of the sky, and now even if it was daylight, the visibility in this valley was not very high, and a cold air was shrouded around him, which did not disperse for a long time.

Xue Ergou walked forward slowly, "Click!" stepped on a human bone under his feet, and instantly Xue Ergou remembered something, and hurriedly pinched the trick with his right hand: "Looking for the dragon and dividing the gold to see the winding mountain, a heavy entanglement is a heavy pass." If there is an eight-point risk of closing the door, there is no yin and yang gossip. ”

I saw the pointer in the Tianchi of the Dragon Hunting Plate in my hand swaying in the Shuo position.

"Suffer, this is a corpse breeding ground!" Xue Ergou was shocked, turned around and asked Wang Mang: "Dead fat man, what is the number today?"

Wang Mang was stunned for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and looked at the calendar.

Village Chief: "Don't look at it, this year is the last day of the 17th year, and tomorrow is the New Year's Day." ”

After Xue Ergou listened, he closed his eyes, and there were words in his mouth, and the thumb of his right hand was on the middle finger of the index finger, the middle finger of the ring finger, and the little finger, tapping back and forth, as if he was thinking about something.

Xue Ergou opened his eyes suddenly, and a bright light flashed in his bloodshot eyes, and everyone seemed to see Xue Ergou's eyes turned red and their pupils turned golden.

"Then how many days has Yang Cuihua been dead?" Xue Ergou looked at everyone.
