Chapter 155: The Grave Is Empty
Liang Yuanque is not a person who likes to talk nonsense, maybe every word he says is useful.
Although he occasionally made jokes, he rarely said a joke over and over again.
Since he went up the mountain, he has repeatedly mentioned "killing".
Zhuang Youjie didn't know what he saw from Xiao Linzi, but he could feel that Liang Yuanque was defensive against Xiao Linzi.
These are no jokes, they are his repeated temptations.
And Xiao Linzi is a person with good hearing, and along the way, Liang Yuanque didn't dare to whisper to Zhuang Youjie.
Zhuang Youjie's mind was spinning, and he suddenly understood Liang Yuanque's intentions.
He was not only testing Xiao Linzi, but also reminding him in disguise.
Sure enough, as soon as they said a few words, Liang Yuanque stepped forward to pull Zhuang Youjie away.
The two of them walked side by side, letting Xiao Linzi lead the way in front.
Zhuang Youjie squeezed his eyes at Liang Yuanque, wanting to ask him if there was something wrong with Xiao Linzi.
But Liang Yuanque didn't know if he didn't understand or because he was worried, so he didn't face him head-on.
Young Master Zhuang could only keep his mouth shut and carefully pay attention to Xiao Linzi's every move in front of him.
Xiao Linzi dragged an injured leg to lead the way in front, and his foot was much slower than before, Liang Yuanque didn't urge him, just pulled Zhuang Youjie to follow silently.
Xiao Linzi was right, this rugged path came to an end, and turned down and walked onto another path.
The trail is surrounded by leafy trees and a canopy of trees that shades the shade.
It's still hot, but it's much more comfortable than just now.
Walking along the path, the line of sight in front gradually widened, and in an open space in front of me, there were several graves standing in a mess.
This is the mass grave where the body of the second grandfather was found.
Maybe it's because of the location, or maybe it's a psychological blessing, but it seems to be a little cooler than the rest of the mountain.
Zhuang Youjie couldn't help but tremble, "Ah Qi, it's not just me who feels cold, right?" ”
"Environmental problems, the terrain here can form a passing wind, and the surrounding area will not be directly exposed to the sun, so it will naturally feel cool." Liang Yuanque briefly explained to him.
At the front of the graveyard is a small grave bag that stands out, not because it is small, but because it has been clearly dug up and backfilled very carefully.
After a few rains, most of the grave soil was washed away.
"There were one or two orphaned graves here long ago without names, and later some poor families or people in the village who had no descendants would be buried here." Kobayashi introduced to them.
Liang Yuanque didn't care about the other graves, his eyes were on the dug up grave bag, he walked over and pulled it twice at random, and found that there were no coffins and bones at all.
When some poor or anonymous people are buried, they basically don't use coffins, and many of them use broken mats.
Of course, there are some people who can't even use the broken mat.
Like his family.
Liang Yuanque's heart trembled, and he blinked his eyes quickly, forcing himself not to think about the past at such a time.
He used his toes to pull a few times in the soft dirt pit, and found some clothes that were so rotten and oxidized that he couldn't see the original color and material at all.
This shows that the people buried here do not even own a broken mat.
And this dirt pit is so small, it must be a petite and soft person buried.
Without waiting for Xiao Linzi to say, Liang Yuanque had an answer in his heart.
Sure enough, Xiao Linzi raised his chin and pointed to this side and said,
"The second grandfather was found here."
"This is Miss Mo Er's grave?" Liang Yuanque asked.
"Yes," Xiao Linzi nodded, and then seemed to feel that he had promised too simply, and said,
"Well, actually, I don't know, because I didn't come to the Lin family back then, and I heard about it later."
Liang Yuanque raised his eyebrows slightly, and found a clue from Xiao Linzi's words.
The identities of the two young ladies of the Mo family, as well as all the events that happened in the Lin family back then, Mrs. Lin was secretive.
For Liang Yuanque, it was also after several three temptations that he was willing to tell it.
Even the third lady, who is now in charge of affairs from the old lady, has never heard of it.
And the old housekeeper, who was in the know, also died quietly.
When Xiao Linzi mentioned the title of "Miss Mo Er" in Liang Yuanque, he didn't think about who it was, so he nodded yes.
There is a trap in Liang Yuanque's question, which sounds like the focus is on determining what kind of grave this is.
But in fact, he was testing whether the other party knew about this character.
Obviously, Xiao Linzi was tempted.
Of course, this is not enough to draw conclusions, so Liang Yuanque asked again,
"When you built the stone tower a year ago and buried the bones, did you participate?"
Xiao Linzi also seemed to have something meaning, and gradually began to speak cautiously, "Ang, Ang, many of us participated at that time. ”
Xiao Linzi is in the Lin family, at least he should be a pivotal figure over the years, because he is young and has the strength to do it, and he is quite clever, and he is very used by the old lady.
So Liang Yuanque continued, "So at that time, the old lady told you the identity of this corpse? ”
Miss Mo Er was suppressed because the Lin family couldn't find Miss Mo's body, so they could only use her to make up the numbers.
Theoretically speaking, the eldest lady used to be the wife of the Lin family, and she was the person most related to the Lin family, as long as the Lin family didn't say it, most people would guess that the bones of the suppressed body were the lady of the year.
That is, Miss Mo.
But what Liang Yuanque mentioned was indeed "Miss Mo Er".
Liang Yuanque stared at the change in his expression, and found that Xiao Linzi's pupils contracted violently, probably trying to understand what he had done wrong.
These are interesting, Liang Yuanque likes to confront clever people, and he wants to see what kind of rhetoric he will come up with.
Xiao Linzi should have been quite flustered, his eyes were radiant, and his lips trembled a few times before he came up with a statement,
"Now that you know, then there is nothing to hide between us, the old lady did tell me about the things back then, but I swore to keep it a secret, I didn't expect you to already know."
Liang Yuanque smiled, "Oh, the old lady asked me to do something, naturally I want to give it all out, little brother, don't hide it, just say what you know." ”
"Yes, that's for sure." Xiao Linzi breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Yuanque knew it in his heart, and his eyes were on the empty grave that had been washed away,
"The state of the second master at that time, have you seen it?"
Xiao Linzi told about the scene when he saw the corpse of the second master, which was about the same as what the third lady said, and it seems that the third lady also heard about it from him.
Liang Yuanque, as he listened, he had a question buried in his heart for a long time.
The second grandfather was not young when he died, and it should be difficult for him to walk on this rugged mountain road.
And he shouldn't come up to check Miss Mo Er's grave out of self-consciousness.
He was most likely kidnapped.
But for a person of such an age, he usually doesn't go out because he is addicted to cultivating immortals, what kind of strategy did the other party use to get him out from under so many eyes of the Lin family?
