Li Mao was stunned for a moment, just now he was cleaning up Xu Jiuye's father's grave, and when he heard the shout, he looked up, only to see the figure of the weasel fleeing in a hurry, and he didn't see the things in front of him, and after listening to Xu Jiuye's vague narration, he also guessed the eight or nine points.

Li Mao hurriedly comforted: "Uncle Jiu, don't be sad, isn't this saving the bones of the little aunt?

Xu Jiuye sobbed a few times, took out the skull and pointed to an old scar on the back of the skull and said, "I can be sure that the little sister was touching a snail by the pond back then, fell down, and hit the back of the head, before drowning, so there is a wound in the skull." ”

Li Mao nodded and said, "If you can be sure that this is the grave of the little aunt, I suggest that it be dug up first to see if the bones are complete." This place is already broken, and it is fortunate that we came in time today, otherwise my little aunt's skull would not have been saved. ”

Xu Jiuye heard Li Mao's words, his body trembled, originally he was still a little resistant to digging the grave, opening the coffin and moving the grave, but when he thought of the bones of the little sister, he was ruined like this, in case the bones of his parents also suffered such a scourge, wouldn't he be a sinner for the ages.

Xu Jiuye hurriedly wiped away his tears with his sleeves, and said resolutely: "Virtuous nephew, we will pick up the bones of my father and mother and little sister today, I can't let them suffer in the wilderness anymore." ”

Li Mao nodded and said: "Uncle Jiu, I just looked at most of the graves here, there should be no tombs of the Xu family, it seems that they have all moved away as a whole, leaving only the uncle and their graves no one cares, the Xu family does not regard your family as relatives at all, you really have nothing to hesitate." ”

Xu Jiuye said hatefully: "Before I came, I still had the idea of letting the bones of my father and mother enter the Xu family's cemetery, but now I don't have any illusions. You don't need to say any more, I know what you mean, let's do it now. ”

Li Mao looked at these three tombs, although they were not big, but he did not have the tools in his hand, nor did he bring a blade, so it was still difficult to dig directly.

Li Mao looked back at the hired carriage in the distance, the coachman tied the carriage to a big tree on the side of the road, and ran to the edge of the mass grave to watch the excitement, he looked at the strange old and young, and did not know what they were doing in the mass grave.

If it weren't for the face of double the carriage fee, he would have driven the carriage back a long time ago, and he suddenly saw Li Mao looking at him, and from such a distance, he could actually see the light in Li Mao's eyes.

The coachman was frightened, the young man's eyes were so sharp, could it be that they were tomb robbers, and he had accidentally seen what they were doing? He began to fear that Li Mao had done evil to him, and he unconsciously moved towards the carriage, ready to drive away at any time.

Li Mao actually just wanted to see if there were excavation tools on the carriage, or something that could be transformed into excavation tools, Li Mao decided to go to the carriage to take a look, and he immediately said: "Uncle Jiu, you wait for me here, I'll go find an excavation tool." ”

After Li Mao finished speaking, he jumped and swept towards the carriage, and the coachman was shocked, and he saw Li Mao jump up two or three zhang high and jump five or six zhang away and pounce on him.

The coachman thought that he had guessed correctly, and Li Mao was going to kill people, so he turned around and ran in the direction of the carriage with a strange scream.

Li Mao was also stunned, he didn't understand why the coachman was running away, and said to catch him and ask again.

The coachman only felt that his neck was tightly strangled by the collar, and he thought that Li Mao was going to strangle himself, so he struggled desperately in the air.

Li Mao ignored him, jumped to the carriage several times in succession, and threw the coachman to the side of the carriage.

The coachman turned over and knelt down with a grunt, kowtowed desperately: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life, the villain's family is old and young, don't kill me, take the carriage if you need it, and leave me a dog's life!"

Li Mao laughed angrily: "Hehe, raise your head, do you think I'm a robber or a tomb robber?"

The coachman fell on his stomach on the ground, refused to look up, and said, "Good man, I know the rules of your business, and if I see your face, I will not leave a living mouth, and I have not seen anything." ”

Li Mao was so angry that he kicked the coachman in the arm and said, "I don't want your life, do you have an iron pickaxe or a shovel in your cart? ”

The coachman's body trembled even more, and his voice trembled, "Hero, are you going to bury me alive?"

Li Mao felt that he was a bit of a chicken-and-duck talker, so he crouched down and was afraid to pat the coachman on the shoulder and said, "Why should I kill you? I just want to find tools to dig up the grave." ”

The coachman's body began to crumble, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's over, it's over, it's really a tomb robber, and now my life is over!"

Li Mao coughed and added: "Don't be afraid, we are not tomb robbers, I accompanied Uncle Jiu to find the bones of my relatives, but this place is too broken, and the stele can't be seen clearly, so I have to open the coffin and examine the bones, this is a mass grave, how can there be anything valuable to steal?"

Only then did the coachman understand what Li Mao meant, raised his head and asked in an unbelievable voice, "Hero, what you said is true?"

Li Mao got up and said: "Don't call me a hero anymore, we are all good citizens of Datang, we are really here to find the bones of our relatives, let's say if there are any tools in the car." ”

The coachman immediately jumped up and said, "Guest officer, misunderstanding, I don't have a shovel on my car, only a wooden shovel and an axe, which are usually used to dig pits when the wheels are stuck in the mud, I don't know if I can use them?"

Of course, wooden shovels and axes are not good tools, but they are better than no tools, in fact, Li Mao can use true qi and demon qi to directly and violently break the grave, but there is no guarantee that the bones will not be damaged, so he wants to find tools.

Li Mao said helplessly: "You can barely use it, you quickly bring tools and go to dig graves with me." ”

With a bitter face, the coachman went under the carriage and took out a four-foot-long bulky wooden shovel and a small hand axe, thinking that in the end he had not escaped the fate of a tomb robbery.

The coachman cautiously asked, "Guest officer, are you really digging up your own family's graves? ”

Li Mao said angrily: "What so much nonsense, we don't know if it's the right grave until we dig it up, do you think we like to dig other people's graves? ”

The coachman looked at the sun that was already in the west, and then at the mass grave, and felt that his heart was tight, and he hurriedly quickened his pace.

By the time Li Mao and the coachman came to the grave, Xu Jiuye had already turned the fist-sized hole on his little sister's grave into a basin with his bare hands, and sweat continued to trickle down his forehead.

Li Mao hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade Xu Jiuye: "Uncle Jiu, you are old, you can't be so tired, you can rest for a while, I have found a tool, and I will soon be able to pick up the bones of my little aunt." ”

Xu Jiuye was old after all, he had just experienced pain and sorrow, and he had done physical work for a while, and he also felt that his eyes were black and Venus was rising, so he sat down on the dirt bag on the side according to his words.

When the coachman saw that the old man had a kind face, he hurriedly untied the water hyacinth on his waist and handed it to Xu Jiuye and said, "Uncle, you drink some water and rest, and leave these strength tasks to us to do." ”

Xu Jiuye was indeed thirsty in his mouth, hesitated for a moment, took the water hyacinth, uncorked the bottle and poured two sips of water, and handed the water hyacinth back to the coachman.

At this time, Li Mao had already picked up the wooden shovel and began to dig, the soil in the Jingxiang area was originally relatively soft, plus Li Mao blessed the wooden shovel with demonic power, and used real strength to move it, it was like holding a shovel made of stainless steel, and the soil next to the grave was easily shoveled up like snow.

The coachman couldn't believe his eyes, if this wooden shovel was not a tool he often used, he suspected that it was originally a shovel!

Li Mao knew that he was in a hurry, so he did not call the coachman for help, and quickly cleaned the soil from the small grave bag, revealing a small broken coffin.

Because of the simple and inferior materials, coupled with the age, this small coffin has fallen apart, turning into several wooden planks squeezed together, and the white bones inside can be faintly seen.

Xu Jiuye jumped over with an arrow, picked up a few broken wooden planks on it, and saw that there was a broken skeleton without a skull in the coffin, which was not complete, and some of the bones had been lost, it was estimated that there were wild beasts in and out of the cave before.

Xu Jiuye burst into tears again, muttering to himself blaming himself.

Li Mao shook his head helplessly and said to the coachman who was in a daze, "Take off your coat." ”

"What?" asked the coachman, stunned.

Li Mao said coldly: "I asked you to take off your coat, I want to wrap my little aunt's bones and take it away, and there is no suitable wrapping cloth here, so I can only use your coat." ”

The coachman muttered and took off his coat: "Bad luck, you also have a coat, why do you want to take off mine." ”

Li Mao raised his hand and shook the coachman's head and said, "There are still two corpses to be dug up in a while, a total of three, so I can only requisition your coat." ”

The coachman covered his head and did not dare to say anything more.

Li Mao walked to Xu Jiuye's side, spread the coachman's coat on the ground, and comforted Xu Jiuye and said, "Uncle Jiu, now is not the time to be sad, wrap up the bones of the little aunt and take it away." In a moment, there will be the bones of your uncle and grandmother, and you can hold on. ”

Xu Jiuye choked up and nodded, picked out the bones of the little sister from the coffin one by one and put them in the coat on the ground, until he confirmed that all the bones were picked up, and then put the bag on the side.

During the whole process, Xu Jiuye didn't let Li Mao help, and insisted on doing it alone, Li Mao understood Xu Jiuye's mood and didn't stop him.

Subsequently, Li Mao quickly lifted the coffins of Xu Jiuye's parents, their coffins were relatively intact, and the bones were not damaged, and they were wrapped in the coats of Xu Jiuye and Li Mao respectively.
