Chapter XXXVII

It's late at night.

The darkness of the night enveloped the quiet village, and everything had already fallen into a deep sleep.

A horse-drawn carriage drove slowly down the muddy country road, without making a sound. The man sitting in the driver's seat sneezed, wrapped his cloak tightly, he exhaled, reached out and took out the flask from his waist, took a small sip, and soon, the scorching heat of the liquor dissipated the cold, which made the man shiver comfortably.

It's so cool!

Gerry, waving his whip, drove the two old horses forward, and he looked back at the "goods" behind the carriage, in which the thick felt encased them, and from the appearance of ordinary cargo. In fact, there were no guards censoring the goods labeled as "large timber", and as long as they were given enough gold coins, they wouldn't care what was being shipped under their noses.

However, when Gerry looked back at the village that was gradually becoming clear in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh. After taking over this well-paid commission, he already planned for the future, went home, bought a farm, and became his own rich man with peace of mind. At that time, he even got the life he had always dreamed of, the life he had hoped for......... There is no longer a need to hide in a dark, dark house like now, and live a tense and dangerous life in fear. He's fed up with tossing and turning between the dead in the graves, "cleaning" the valuable stuff from their decomposing corpses and dry skeletons.

However, compared to previous commissions, this commission is relatively strange but relaxed. After all, not everyone has the money to buy funeral goods for the corpse, and those poor families are more likely to just roll the corpse in a roll, throw it into the grave, and insert a curtain tablet, even if the task of burial has been completed. But the corpse is different, even if the other side is very demanding - the corpse, after all, is still a corpse. As long as you want to find it, you can still find it.

A flash of fire flashed at the entrance of the village.

Gerry slowed down, staring warily at the firelight, the most important thing in their line of business is to be cautious. They are not human traffickers, they don't have that much connection, they don't have the power of robbers, they don't seem to be smugglers, they can even have local garrisons protect their own goods of unknown origin. Little grave robbers like them, if they didn't have some means to protect themselves, would have been eaten long ago.

Gerry took a breath of cold air and cleared his mind with the chill of the night, shook his head, and headed again.

The carriage stopped beside a warehouse at the edge of the village, and Gerry jumped out of the carriage and leaned into the warehouse vigilantly and cautiously, reaching out and knocking rhythmically on the door, and after a few moments, another short black figure quietly opened the door of the warehouse.

"How?"

"It's done. ”

Pulling the carriage into the warehouse, Gerry let out a long sigh of relief, jumped out of the carriage, and pulled the blanket that covered the back, and five dark, simple coffins lay there quietly, without the slightest abnormality.

"Hurry up and get it done. ”

Compared to Gerry, the other black shadow was obviously a little anxious, and he complained as he subconsciously turned his head to look at the five coffins placed on the other side, although this was the "commodity" that they had spent most of the night working on yesterday. But for the brothers, it was not so easy. Although they often haunt the tombs and deal with corpses, this is the first time they have traded corpses as commodities, and it has to be said that this is still a bit nervous for them.

"There are ten corpses in total......... It's finally done, so what's next?"

"How do I know, didn't the customer say he wanted to come by himself? Did you tell him where the deal was?"

"I haven't seen him since that day left, where can I find someone?"

"I'm already here. ”

The leisurely, pleasant voice suddenly sounded from behind the two brothers, which made the two who were already nervous jump up almost instantly, and they opened their eyes wide, looking at the dark figure that slowly appeared at the gate in the dim firelight, if it were not for the perennial "occupation" that they had become accustomed to all kinds of emergencies, I am afraid that the screams would inevitably spread throughout the village.

How did he get in?

With the help of the dim firelight, Gerry looked at the door of the warehouse behind him, there was not the slightest gap, it was still tightly closed, and the warehouse had no windows, how did this ghostly creature end up here?

"Hello, guest. ”

But doubts are doubts, and business still has to be done. Gerry quickly put these questions behind him and spoke.

"We have delivered the goods you asked for, as you have ordered......... Please take a look at it. ”

"Good. ”

Yuren nodded, and then he walked slowly to the carriage, and at this moment, the Gerry brothers had stepped forward to open the lids of the coffins for him, so that Yuren could visually examine the corpses.

Lying in the coffin, as Yulian requested, were all teenage girls, their skin colors and races were different, but they were all very beautiful. The Gerry brothers also told Yuren about the origins of these corpses, some of which died because of an accidental fall into the water, while others died because they were seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment. Their beauty did not save their lives, on the contrary, some of them became the cause of the death of these young girls.

"This is a female militia in the village of Buka in the west. ”

When introducing the corpse of a well-toned and delicate-faced girl to Yuren, Gerry's tone was a little hesitant.

"To tell you the truth, my guest, I've seen her a few times, and she's a pretty girl, and she's full of surnames. It's a pity that she was photographed by the master of the garrison, saying that she wanted to be accepted as a concubine, but this girl didn't obey and hanged herself before the master's people came......... Fortunately, I've only been dead for four or five days........."

It is the cold of spring right now, and the icy chill can also preserve these corpses to a certain extent, so that they will not decay and deteriorate so quickly, and it is precisely because of this season that Yulian will ask to buy the corpses. This is also in his calculations.

With the introduction of the Gerry brothers, Yuren examined the bodies of the girls lying in the coffin one by one, and he ignored the obvious pinching marks and strangulation marks on their necks, which were not the part that Yuren should pay attention to, as long as the internal organs were intact and there was no damage, then there was no problem. And judging from the current situation, the appearance of these girls' corpses still meets their requirements.

And just as Yuren moved his gaze to examine the next corpse, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, and then stopped.

"What is this?"

In front of Yu Lian, is a petite and lovely girl corpse, although after death, there is no difference, but it is not the case, from the silk corpse clothes on her body, it can be seen that this girl is definitely not like those girls from poor families before, and even if you look at it from the outside, she is now more like a princess who is sleeping, waiting for the prince to wake up.

The daughter of a nobleman?

Yu Lian frowned, he didn't mind buying those corpses from poor backgrounds, but the corpses of nobles had to be thought about twice, after all, compared to ordinary people who were not well-known, nobles were not so easy to ignore. Like Offariel, who almost had to hide her face with a cloak in front of outsiders, and though she had been dead for thirty years, she still couldn't explain to anyone why a young girl with royal characteristics could appear in such a remote castle - at least not until a suitable excuse could be found.

"Oh, this is the daughter of the old man Bakma. ”

Gerry gave the girl a closer look, then replied.

"I heard that this is because the young lady was poisoned, and then died because of the ineffective rescue, and because of this incident, the old man Bakma was generous and thunderous, not only executed several healers, but even gave death to the two maids around the young lady, as for what kind of poison, I don't know very well. ”

By the way, the two maids were also among the goods traded, otherwise it would not be easy to gather ten corpses in three days.

"Good. ”

After carefully inspecting the "goods", You Lian nodded, there were no obvious external injuries to these "goods" in front of him, and they should not be defective products with damaged internal organs, so that there would be no problem with his plan.

After making sure that the goods were correct, Yulian reached into his arms and took out the money bag, and when he heard the crisp clash of coins in it, the eyes of the Gerry brothers immediately lit up, and even in this dimly lit warehouse, it still exuded a shining, greedy brilliance.

"Thank you for your hard work, this is ............... reward"

At this, Yuren paused, and he looked at the two of them, the corners of his mouth curled up intentionally or unconsciously, revealing a sly smile - but under the shadow no one saw it.

"So, how are you going to divide it?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this unexpected inquiry, the Gerry brothers were stunned for a moment, how can they divide it? They never seemed to have thought about it.

"There are five bags of gold coins here. ”

Yu Lian's hand turned over as if by magic, and then, five red money bags appeared in his hand, and then placed them smoothly on the wooden table beside him.

"There were two hundred gold coins in each bag...... Don't you think that you should make a clear distinction in advance before you can complete the transaction with confidence?"

"This doesn't seem like a question you should worry about. ”

Gerry frowned, and at the same time couldn't help but glance at his brother, to be honest, if it wasn't for Yulian's "reminder", he really forgot that the money didn't belong to him alone.

"I know. ”

Yuren shrugged his shoulders and took a few steps back.

"I'm just making a proposal, as the saying goes, brothers settle accounts............ Maybe I'm thinking too much. ”

As he spoke, Yulian stretched out his right hand and made a gesture.

"Well, happy trading. ”

ps: Ask for collections, ask for recommended votes......... Don't be polite, everyone, just smash it.........
