Chapter 358: Personal Grudges
After listening to the old man's words, I seemed to understand why the haunting was happening, but I never did
What I want to understand is that what family wants to build a military camp here.
"Who is the family that the old man is talking about?"
"Hey, it was twenty years ago in a big family in our country, his daughter was occupied by an officer, so they looked around, and finally snatched their daughter back from the hands of the officer, but the daughter committed suicide because she couldn't think of it, so his family formed a grudge with the officer. ”
I asked, "And then?"
"Later, it was not very clear, I heard that the big family did not know why they all died, and then the officers built a barracks here, saying that they wanted to suppress them. After the old man finished speaking, he hugged the broken money I gave him, and left beautifully.
I pondered for a long time, first of all, the family was gone, and the officers were going to use the barracks to deter them, so it proved that the neighborhood of the barracks was where the family was, or rather......
It occurred to me that the old man had said that yin and yang cannot be stacked.
"I thought about it, yin and yang can't be stacked, that is, the military camp is built on the cemetery of that family!"
"Huh? Do you mean there's a cemetery under the barracks?"
I nodded, "I think it should be." ”
"What then?"
Ah Cai smiled at this time: "This matter is not easy to do, what are we doing?"
"You're going to dig a grave?"
"It's not digging graves, this time we're going to move, either move the barracks or move the cemetery below, otherwise the barracks will stay here forever and be a waste. I said.
Wu Shu looked reluctant: "Just move, but I don't understand, how did those Yellow Turban Army come from?"
"They died later, and what the soldiers told us when they came was not false, there were really people who were evil. ”
"Alright then, let's start digging!"
I nodded: "Let's start digging from the place where Ah Cai saw his fingers, find the entrance to the tomb, and after entering, our purpose is to move all the corpses out, go back and make a new coffin for them, and bury them in the back mountain." ”
My eyes looked at Ah Cai: "Do you hear, you can't take everything!"
"You know, this isn't a tomb robbery. Although Ah Cai was a little reluctant, he agreed to it.
Due to the high-speed digging effect of Wu Shu's shovel, coupled with Ah Cai, a veteran tomb robber, we quickly dug the hole in the ground, and the existence of the corpse was found less than two meters below the barracks.
At first, the corpses of the Yellow Turban soldiers were dug up, and further down, the rotten coffins were dug up, and it didn't take long for the rotting corpses to be exposed to the ground.
"It's amazing, so many corpses, I don't know how long they have been buried, they are not rotten, and there is carrion. Acai sighed.
I chuckled: "This is common sense, generally speaking, if you say that the people who are killed, most of them will not decay normally, but there will be all kinds of strange phenomena, one is that the corpse does not rot, and the other is that the corpse decays very quickly." ”
"That means they have a great deal of resentment, right?" Wu Shu asked.
I nodded, "That's true, so we're going to have to make their tombs even better than before." ”
"I see, then you go ahead, I'll go make the coffin, and try to get the coffin ready before they all come out. Wu Shu left the barracks with his tools and plunged headlong into the woods.
Ah Cai and I dug up nearly 30 corpses in the cemetery, more than a dozen of them were soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and the rest should be the corpses of the big families that the old man said.
But the strange thing is that the number of corpses of the Yellow Turban soldiers does not match what I saw before, and second, we have not found the corpse of the young lady that the old man said at all.
According to our experience, most of the exhumed corpses were those of ordinary domestic slaves and were not the real owners of the tombs.
"No, we should keep digging down. ”
After digging two more meters, a small cemetery appeared, and all the bodies had no coffins, and were completely thrown in a pile.
"This ......," Ah Cai's eyes stared at the pile of corpses in the distance of the tomb.
"Headless corpses?" I was also a little flustered, the corpses in the distance were all headless, not only that, but many others were mutilated, no wonder someone came out in the middle of the night to pick up their fingers.
Suddenly, a corpse slowly got up, its eyes staring directly at him, reaching out for something.
After a while, I saw him pick up a head from somewhere, replace his own head, and then lay down again.
"Oh my God, what's going on, changing heads?" sighed.
I was lost in thought, and seeing that there were still quite a few corpses still doing all sorts of strange things, the two of us went out of the cemetery first.
"No, this isn't exactly their family's tomb, there should be one down there. ”
"Also, how can there be such a deep cemetery, besides, they are just ordinary people, even the cemetery of King Huainan is not so deep. Ah Cai said.
I nodded, "It's not supposed to be so deep at the beginning, but it's piled up little by little, and there's one more thing." ”
"Well, what's the matter?"
"I suspect something is wrong with that old man. "My intuition tells me that the old man has an absolute relationship with these corpses, firstly, because there are Yellow Turbans among the corpses, and the Yellow Turbans have only recently arrived, and it is impossible for them to be buried so deeply.
Second, the situation of the whole tomb is that the lower layer is an old tomb, and the upper layer, no matter how you look at it, it has only been dug for a long time, and when we dig up the Yellow Turban soldiers, we can prove that the soil there has just been solidified.
If this is the case, then the old man said that the matter should be completely overturned, but he also told us that this yin and yang cannot be stacked. This clearly tells us that there is a catacomb, and that he is deliberately revealing the news to us.
Then this old man must have ulterior motives, or he is a group of people who want to oppose us.
"What about us?" asked Ah Cai, who looked at me for a long time.
I said, "Go find Wu Shu, let him dig here by himself, and bury everything that has been dug up for him, and let's go find the whereabouts of that old man." ”
"Wu Shu, I'll leave it to you here, we'll be back in a while. ”
"What, why me again?" Wu Shu asked.
But we left quickly, rounded the hill, and as the old man said, we turned around and found that there was indeed a grass house halfway up the mountain.
"It's so late and still the lights are on?"
"I don't know, go over and take a look, I think he should think we can come here to find him. I said.
Ah Cai looked puzzled: "No, could it be that the old man will be clever?"
"Of course not, but we've fallen into his trap and we're going to have to do the opposite to catch him off guard. ”
I lay in Ah Cai's ear and muttered a few words, and Ah Cai remembered it in my heart.
When the two of us approached the hut, Ah Cai quietly hid behind the hut, put her ear to the window, and listened carefully to the sounds in the house.
I stood in the door and shouted, "Old man, are you at home?"
Not long after, I saw a figure in the house push open the door, and when he saw that it was me, the old man was overjoyed, after all, I gave him money during the day.
"Young man, how did you find me here so late?"
"We have dug up the burial chamber under the barracks, according to your wishes, but strangely, how can there be so many Yellow Turban soldiers?"
The old man's eyes were confused for a moment, and he turned around and said, "Actually, I buried those Yellow Turban Army." ”
"Well, why?"
"Hey, don't mention it, don't I go there every day to get firewood, I will always see some dead Yellow Turban soldiers during this time, so I will put them in the ground, and I don't want them to be exposed to the wilderness. ”
"But we found that there are still a lot of ordinary people in it!"
The old man smiled: "Then I don't know." ”
Suddenly, I felt a dark shadow jumping up and down in the old man's room.
"Is there anyone else in your house?"
"No, it's just me!" the old man turned around, shuddered, and hurriedly leaned against me.
But at this time, I felt a chill in my waist, and I realized that I had been tricked, and the old man had discovered our intentions.
Only then did I subconsciously flash my body, and the broken sword was pulled out, and it immediately hit the old man's throat.
"Old man, you're still slow, I didn't expect that your plan is quite deep, why do you want to calculate us?"
"That's not what I meant, think about who you've offended before, right?" said the old man, as if there was not the slightest nervousness on his face.
But then I noticed that the ghosts in the room seemed to be deformed, and no less than four or five more figures appeared.
"Don't touch me, you bastards, how did you end up here. ”
It's over, it's Acai's voice, and that hoarse voice is...... Fatty, this old man must be with them?
I suddenly felt that I had been calculated by these people, and at this time Ah Cai had been pushed out of the room by four or five people.
When I saw the man who was pushing Acai, and the few people behind them, I immediately understood what was going on.
Except for the old man and the fat man, the rest of the people we had seen before, one was the Yellow Turban soldier who received us, and the other two were the Yellow Turban soldier who came to report the news, and the fat man who came out behind them.
From the beginning to the present, they have been jumping around in the trap of these people, that is, everything is planned by them.
"Fatty, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, and you still put so much effort into us. ”
"We don't want to, but a few days ago, someone was always asking about our whereabouts, and in desperation, we had no choice but to do so. The fat man said.
I smiled and said, "Since this is the case, let my people go, and I'll give you back your people." ”
