A few people didn't say much, they all calmed down and walked forward. They thought that this skeleton demon had appeared here, so the cemetery must not be far from here. A few people also knew the dangers of this trip, so they were unusually cautious when leaving.

The jungle is very gloomy, it was supposed to be a sunny day, but in this dense forest, it feels so cold that people don't feel a little chilling when they walk.

When they walked through the forest, they saw a path below, and dozens of people were waddling along the path. Chengfeng hurriedly stopped Jielan and the others who were following closely behind him, and said, "Be careful, there are people in front." ”

Several men fell to the ground and looked down the road, but saw that on the narrow road were twenty or so coolies, dragging the heavy wooden cart, and it was impossible to see what was in the wooden cart. In front and behind these coolies were officers and men in red shirts, all with rattan in their hands, whipping them as they went, shouting: "Go, go!" You want to die, hurry up! The bullwhip crackled when it fell on the coolies, but they did not cry out every time they were beaten, and it seemed that they had been beaten until they were numb, so that they could not feel even the most basic pain.

After walking for a while, the officer and soldier who walked in the front raised the whip and said, "Stop, rest for a while!" Then the brigade stopped, and the leader of the officers and soldiers took out the kettle and began to drink, while the coolies behind stopped, leaned aside, and gasped. Seeing that they were all yellow and thin, because of the long-term overload of labor, they were so thin that they were only left with a pair of skins, and they looked like children.

These coolies have been walking for nearly half a day, and some of them are in a hurry, so they just need to solve it at this moment, but how can those officers and soldiers allow them to relieve themselves in front of them, let them go farther away and go to the jungle to relieve themselves.

Then an officer and soldier escorted the people who were going to Xiaojie to the jungle for Xiaoxie, and only stopped to prepare for Xiaojie when they could barely see the large group of people.

Seeing this opportunity, Chengfeng hurriedly said: "Although it will make you feel very aggrieved, but I'm afraid this is the only way, come with me." ”

Jielan didn't understand what was going on, Chengfeng ran quickly towards those small coolies, and Jielan and the others also quickly followed, and when they came to the front, most of these coolies had already taken off their pants and were ready to relieve themselves. Jielan and Qi Xue naturally didn't dare to look at it as women, so they quickly turned around and didn't dare to go forward.

Chengfeng took advantage of the officers and soldiers guarding these coolies did not pay attention to him, and inadvertently jumped straight over, the officers and soldiers only heard a gust of wind behind him, and quickly turned his head, he saw Chengfeng suddenly appeared behind him, he was not surprised, just wanted to draw a knife to deal with Chengfeng, but expected Chengfeng's elbow together, hit the back of his head, and suddenly the little soldier only felt dizzy, and immediately fainted, this time I am afraid that he will not wake up for a day or two.

When the coolies saw the white-haired man who suddenly arrived, they were so frightened that they couldn't help but hide back, and some of them even forgot to put their pants on. Chengfeng said warmly to this group of frightened people: "You don't need to panic, let me ask you, are you laborers who build the cemetery?" ”

The coolies trembled with fear, fearing that the white-haired man had taken their lives. And one of them was a little bolder and replied: "Yes... Yes, you... Don't kill us, we're just doing what we are told. ”

"What are those things you're transporting?" Chengfeng then asked.

These coolies suddenly swallowed, not daring to say it directly, Chengfeng saw their expressions and knew that there was a mystery in it, he took a step closer and said, "If you want to hide it, then I don't have such good patience." ”

Feeling the murderous aura of this white-haired man, the courage of these coolies was frightened a little more, and the one closest to Chengfeng hurriedly said: "Yes... It's charcoal. ”

"Charcoal?" Chengfeng was suddenly puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing transporting this charcoal?" ”

"We don't know about this, we're just working as coolies, and we're responsible for transporting it, and we don't know what to do with it." The coolie was also telling the truth, they were only responsible for transporting the materials to the entrance of the cemetery, and then other people came to bring them in, and they never knew what to do with them after they brought them in.

Chengfeng saw this man's expression and felt that he was not lying, so he said: "Then if you don't want to continue to be a coolie, just leave now, but take off your clothes before leaving." ”

These coolies were forced to work as coolies for free, because of the intensity of working day and night, many of their companions were already exhausted, and they were also dragging their withered bodies, just waiting for that day to lie on the ground and never get up again, so they ended their lives, but they never thought that they could escape today, which was undoubtedly a happy event for them, but they didn't dare to believe Chengfeng's words directly, so they all stood there and didn't dare to move, just looked at Chengfeng suspiciously, looking very panicked.

Chengfeng said again: "If you don't leave, I'm afraid there will be no second chance to go, if you don't believe me, run back and continue to be your coolies!" ”

If these coolies want to continue to do coolies, it is better to listen to this white-haired man once, maybe there is still a way to live, these coolies hurriedly took off their clothes as they said, and then walked quickly towards the outside of the jungle. Chengfeng looked at these coolies who fled in a hurry, smiled indifferently, and then picked up their stinky clothes and handed them to Jielan on the side. ”

"Wearing these, we have to disguise ourselves as these coolies and sneak into the cemetery, otherwise, we may not be able to blend in." Chengfeng said calmly, almost not considering whether Jielan was willing or unwilling.

Jielan looked at Chengfeng in amazement, those resentful eyes made Chengfeng feel very pressured, but he didn't give up this plan, and still said: "If you don't want to check the cemetery, then we'll go back to the palace." ”

Jielan had a good impression of Chengfeng at first, but thinking that he forced herself to wear this kind of sweat-stained tattered clothes worn by men, she was really embarrassed as a woman, but in order to find out the situation, she had to endure this pain, she took the shirt and said, "Just wear it, am I still afraid." ”

Although Qi Xue didn't want to wear this kind of clothes, but since Jielan wore them, it was impossible for her not to do it, she reluctantly took one over, walked behind the jungle tree with Jielan, took off her coat, and put the wet clothes on.

Tianling didn't expect that a dignified princess could still endure such hardships, and he admired it even more in his heart, thinking, what kind of woman can leave her dignity and endure these hardships in order to be a responsibility?

Tian Ling thought that maybe this world would be in a different situation if this woman was in charge, so what Jin Xuan said might not be unreasonable.

Tianling is looking forward to Jielan at this moment, because he expects a miracle to appear, and hopes that the dream that is difficult to complete will really be completed one day.

Tianling also took a set over, took off his white coat, and then put on this shabby and dirty clothes, and Chengfeng pulled off the clothes of the stunned officer and soldier just now, put them on himself, and after everyone changed into clothes, several people put on the tattered straw hats, bowed their backs, lowered their heads, and staggered towards the team.

When the escort officer at the front saw them coming back, he didn't look closely, but shouted impatiently: "Why have you been going for so long, you all want to die!" ”

Chengfeng learned the voice of the little soldier just now and replied: "These people are not honest, they taught them a lesson just now, and two of them can't withstand my whip, so they are lying there." Because there were two people missing, Chengfeng was afraid that the person would come back to check, so he said so.

The little official didn't care about the life or death of these coolies, and when he heard that two of them died, he only felt unlucky, and said: "These mother-raisers are actually looking for trouble for Lao Tzu, if they want to die, why don't they all die together, I can also go and change to a group of young and powerful ones, and I don't have to waste Lao Tzu's time here with these old immortals." ”

What this person said was very vulgar, and she regarded human life like a mustard between her words, Jielan really wanted to kill this person in order to get rid of the hatred in her heart, but she couldn't, she could only endure it, and endure it fiercely.

Several of them walked at the end like this, all with their heads down, pushing the wooden box cart, and walking towards the cemetery step by step with difficulty. And on the way, Chengfeng has been thinking about what they are going to do to the cemetery, why they need charcoal to build the cemetery, and how much charcoal is needed, according to what the escort officer said just now, it seems that this is not the first time that charcoal has been transported to the cemetery.

So what is the place where such a large amount of charcoal is used? Chengfeng thought for a while and didn't think clearly, thinking that he had to talk about it when he got there.

In this way, he walked for nearly two hours to the entrance of the cemetery, and as soon as he reached the gate, he was stopped by the messenger, and then ordered them to start moving down the boxes containing charcoal. Jielan didn't want to be recognized, so they started to move the charcoal honestly for the time being, and a few people watched the situation in the cemetery while moving.

The cemetery was halfway built, and the people inside were walking around and carrying all kinds of wood, and there were some overseers on the side who kept shouting, and there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, but Jielan always felt that there was a secret hidden in it, a secret that she had to crack.

When several people were moving the charcoal box, they suddenly heard that the people behind them kept kneeling, and then said, "Meet General Pingdu!" ”

As soon as Jielan and her party heard that someone was kneeling down to worship General Pingdu, she knew that she must be the person in charge of managing this place, she was afraid that the other party would find out their identity, so they all wronged themselves and knelt down, and Chengfeng and Tianling also deigned to kneel.

The man named Pingdu walked to the charcoal truck and said, "Why did this charcoal come so late today?" ”

When the escort officer heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he said in a trembling voice: "Because... Because there were a few bitter men on the way who came and went without hard work, they came some hours late. ”

When Pingdu heard this, his face suddenly sank, he pushed the long sword on his waist, only to see a flash of white light, and suddenly only heard a 'click', and suddenly blood gushed out, a head rolled to the ground, and the headless body fell to the ground, and the escort officer fell under the long sword.
