Chapter Ninety-Five: A Lonely Grave Is Hard to Find
Chapter 95
The dark night is low, the twinkling stars are dotted, the night seems peaceful and peaceful, and at the same time, the night also hides a lot of unrest.
There is a Wujun Mountain more than ten miles away from Lin'an City, and it is said that the mountain is actually a mass grave. Those poor families died, and they had no money to ask Mr. Yin and Yang to divinate the Yin Land, so they randomly found a vacant land on Wu Jun and buried it. The huge Wujun Mountain is full of old graves, and new graves are added at any time.
It is said to be a tomb, but it is just a mound of earth of different sizes and shapes, and those who have a heart will also erect a wooden board in front of the tomb to write the tomb of whoever and whom, so that they can come to worship in the future. But most graves are ownerless mounds that no one cares about. The outline of the grave can still be seen in the short time, and the long ones that have been covered by the crazy bushes and grasses have been completely invisible.
A few black-clothed people hurriedly walked down the mountain, and the three people who walked in front carried shovels, and their feet were very fast, and they had climbed up the mountain in a short time. Only the last one was left empty-handed, panting, and still crawling and crawling under the mountainside.
"It's really annoying to let this old thing come with you, you can't go fast, and you have to wait for him all the way. A man in black stood at the intersection of the hill and complained as he watched the man who was still slowly climbing up the mountainside.
"He was sent by Xiangye, besides, we are only responsible for digging graves, and he has to do other things. Have you done it? He is quite valued in front of Xiangye now, so you should complain less, lest he listen to Xiangye's ears and treat it badly to all of us. The man in black in the middle said.
"Yes, besides, he doesn't know martial arts, he's old, so that's the only way, be patient, wait. Another black-clothed man also said.
The three of them sat at the intersection and waited. Finally, the last black clothes climbed up, so tired that he couldn't breathe.
"Not good...... Meaning, the three of them have been waiting for a long time, and the age is ...... went, no better than dang...... Back then!"
"Don't get in the way, Pharmacist Wang, you go slowly. ”
It turned out to be the person sent by Qin Hui to dig Qin Fei'er's grave, Wang Yaoshi and three henchmen and guards.
The guard in the middle drew a torch from his back and lit it with a fire breaker. The torches were lit quickly, and if anyone saw the fire on this mass grave from afar, they would think it was a floating ghost fire.
But the sight in front of them stunned everyone. In the limited area illuminated by the firelight, it was densely packed with mounds. Some are still newly buried, bare loess, and some are old and long, and the grass on the graves is higher than people.
"Where can I find so many graves?" the guard with torches was in trouble.
"You always know the approximate location, right?" asked Pharmacist Wang.
"Who knows, Xiangye only said that it was in Wujun Mountain. ”
"You didn't come when you were buried?" asked Pharmacist Wang.
"I didn't come, if we had been involved, we wouldn't be standing here now, maybe we would be lying in this place. The guard lowered his voice and said, "I heard that all the people who participated in the burial of Miss were killed. After speaking, he made a motion to wipe his neck.
"Then do you think we're going to be wiped out after this operation?" said another guard.
"Who knows! Actually, it's best not to get involved in important things, although you can't get important, but you won't have to live in it. ”
"Either we don't dig and run away, lest we get wiped on our necks when we go back." ”
"Where are we going to escape? If we escape, what will our families do? Will Xiangye let them go easily?"
"Actually, it's not as pessimistic as you think, this operation will be much safer with the participation of Pharmacist Wang. After all, he has been with Xiangye for so many years, and he has been fine. ”
The guards, who were still disgusted with Pharmacist Wang before, immediately changed their attitude, hugged their fists at Pharmacist Wang, and said, "It seems that I want to ask your old man to take care of it." ”
Pharmacist Wang patted his chest proudly and said: "Don't worry, you and I will advance and retreat together in adversity, as long as there is a cheap life with my surname Wang, everyone will have a way to live." ”
"Thank you, thank you!" said the three of them, as if the dry old man in front of them was a big umbrella above their heads, sheltering them from the wind and rain.
"The most important thing at the moment is to find the grave of the young lady and complete the task. Otherwise, when Xiangye gets angry, we will all suffer, and no one can save anyone. Pharmacist Wang said.
"But there are so many graves, I'm afraid I won't be able to dig them all for three days and three nights, how can I find them?"
"I don't know the exact location, so I try to narrow it down. It has been nearly a month since the death of the young lady, and now it is the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, and the grass and trees are growing fast. Wang Yaoshi straightened his thumb and middle finger, and the other three were bent, and he drew a rough length, "You will pick such a grave to dig, and if it is two corpses that are combined after digging up, it will be." I heard that the young lady was buried with the maid Caiyun. Pharmacist Wang said.
"Well, once this is reduced, there are indeed not many people who are eligible. Ginger is still old and spicy, and you are still old!"
"Prize!" Pharmacist Wang said
"The little old man is old and unhelpful, and he is a little physically exhausted when he walks around. I'm going to lie down and rest so that I don't delay everyone when I go down the mountain. You dig first, and when you dig up, you call me to get up and deal with it. ”。
"It's okay, it's okay, you can rest all the time. It's just that the grass is afraid of snakes and insects, you always be careful. ”
"I'm not afraid of this, I'm a person who deals with medicinal herbs all day long, and the smell of medicine on my body is heavy, and I have to run away when I smell snakes and insects. Wang Yaoshi said and walked to the grass next to an old grave, and lay down steadily, really asleep.
The three guards held torches and looked for them seriously, and there were really not many graves that met this condition.
After looking for a long time, I saw a new grave, although it was still a pinch of loess, but the grass had grown sparsely on the grave.
"Dig, I hope God willing, just dig it. The three of them were overjoyed, and picked up their shovels and dug violently, dividing the part of the ground by two, and gradually revealing the pit where the people were buried, and suddenly the smell of rotting corpses penetrated their noses.
"It's so stinky! His grandmother's! Wow......" One of the guards couldn't help but scold, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the stench took advantage of the void, burrowed into his mouth, rushed into his throat, and stirred his spleen and stomach.
He vomited so much that the sky was dark, and his limbs were weak before he could stop it. But the whole person no longer had the strength to work, and fell on his back on the grass.
The other two were also so stinking that they quickly tore off their clothes and covered their mouths and noses, so they felt a little better. The two continued to dig downward, gradually revealing the body of the deceased. But his body was less than three feet, his clothes were ragged, and he was a child from a poor family.
The two of them felt so disappointed that they didn't help others fill in the soil, leaving the corpse exposed to the air and stenching.
The two of them found two new graves in succession, but when they dug them up, they were neither, one was an old woman with a toothless mouth, and the other was an old man with white hair.
Time passed little by little, and two torches had been burned, and it was a waste of half a day's effort, not to mention, and I had to endure the pervasive stench. If there is a grade of stench, then the smell of rotting corpses must undoubtedly be ranked at the highest level.
The two gradually became discouraged.
Pharmacist Wang slept quietly in the distance, and the guard lay down without moving.
The two of them didn't dare to provoke the king medicine master now, so they turned their anger on the guard. I walked over and gave him a kick in the leg.
"Have you had enough of lying down? Why don't you get up and help?"
The guard vomited and his body was weak, and he was lying down and sleepy, and he was kicked in a daze, and he got up in a daze and said, "I haven't dug it yet!"
"Is it that easy? We're all exhausted. Dig and dig for you. ”
"Good!" he got up and told them to tear their clothes, cover their mouths and noses, and take the iron.
At this time, there was a "click" sound around me, as if something was moving.
"Wait! What's that sound?" the three of them suddenly became alert.
