Chapter 178: Collecting the bones

Of course, these Danqing didn't think of it, if he could think of this, he would definitely not ask for words to go the same way.

In this way, the two agreed to go north on the same road tomorrow, because Danqing and they still had to dig up a pair of bones on the outskirts of the city to take away, so they agreed to meet at the first stop on the official road due north.

The specific time is set at an hour before and after the hour, and if it is too late, you can start alone without waiting for the other party.

After all the agreements were agreed, Danqing sent Ma Tengyun out.

When the two came to the door, they found that there was only one sedan chair left.

When Fugui saw the two of them coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Master Qiqi, Mrs. and Miss have returned to the house first, I originally wanted to sue you, but Miss she ......."

When Ma Tengyun heard this, he waved his hand and didn't let him continue, and at the same time said, "Got it, let's go back too." ”

After finishing the order, Ma Tengyun turned around and clenched his fists and said goodbye to Danqing.

At this time, it was already late, and Danqing didn't do much to keep it, because he still had a lot to do.

After sending Ma Tengyun away, Danqing returned to the pharmacy and closed the door, and began to get busy.

It turned out that Danqing wanted to prepare some practical and portable medicines, make them into bean-like granules, and then put them in the purple pill gourd for storage, so as to keep them for later use.

By the time Danqing thought that the medicine was almost ready, it was almost the fourth watch.

So when Danqing couldn't sleep for two hours, he turned over again, because they had to go out early to dig the grave, and when it was dark, it would not be good for outsiders to see what news was spreading.

When Danqing packed up and went out with his baggage on his back, he had just locked the door of the shop, when he heard the sound of horseshoe wheels mixed up.

Hearing the voice, Dan Qing turned around and looked back, and then he saw the vague figure of Sima Yu driving the car.

A moment later, Sima Yu drove to Danqing's side and stopped.

Seeing Sima Yu get out of the car, Danqing took two steps forward and said, "Why didn't you call a maid ring, but drove over in person?"

When Sima Yu heard this, he replied while arranging his clothes that were blown by the wind with his hands, "The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, I just told them to go out, and I didn't say where to go." ”

Hearing this, all Danqing could feel in his heart was warmth, which made him feel that the choice to walk with Master Ma and them was correct.

"But, you've driven a carriage, where are the bones we dug up?" Danqing suddenly thought of the fact that they still had to carry a corpse, and then asked.

"I've prepared a box and put it in the car, it's been buried in the ground for more than a hundred years, and there aren't many bones. When Sima Yu heard this, she replied casually, at this time she had already finished purging, and then turned around and got into the car.

Seeing that Danqing still didn't move, Sima Yu said, "What's the matter, don't you want me to continue driving?"

"Oh, no, I'll catch this car, how can I let you be a coachman, give it to you, put my baggage away, let's go." Danqing, who reacted, immediately handed the burden to Sima Yu, and then sat on the carriage by himself, picked up the horsewhip and drove forward.

When Danqing and the two drove to the city gate, the city gate had not yet opened, and Danqing stepped forward to wake up the soldiers guarding the gate, and then gave them some money, and they let the two out of the city.

After leaving the city, Danqing drove down the official road according to Sima Yu's instructions.

After about a quarter of an hour, Sima Yu came out and asked Danqing to stop the carriage, and then the two turned to move forward on foot, and the box used to hold the bones was of course held by Danqing.

After walking for nearly half a pillar of incense, Sima Yu pulled Danqing to a stop in front of a raised mound of earth, which should be Shi Ji to be exact, because at this time they were already halfway up a small hill.

If it weren't for Sima Yu pulling Danqing to stop here, and he already knew that he had come here to collect Mrs. Hua's bones, he would never have guessed that this bulging bulge would be a grave.

Seeing Sima Yu pull him to stop here, Danqing guessed that under this stone pile might be the bones of Mrs. Nahua, according to the signs of decay of this stone pile and the absence of inscriptions, he guessed that when this Mrs. Hua died, it was likely that there was no relatives around her, and it was a kind person who passed by who buried her.

In fact, Danqing's guess was wrong, but although when Mrs. Hua died, there were people around her, but for various reasons, they didn't dare to bury her.

As for the reason, it is not the time to explain it here, so I will mention it for the time being.

"This is Mrs. Hua's grave, right?" Although the stone pile was simple, Dan Qing still felt that it was likely to be here, so he put down the box and asked.

"Well, yes, you can bow to Mrs. Hua. Sima Yu opened her mouth to answer when she heard this, and after she finished speaking, she also raised her palm with one hand and said, "Infinite Heavenly Venerable." ”

Danqing bowed down and saluted Mrs. Hua as she said. Then he asked, "Isn't it possible to dig now?"

It wasn't until this moment, when he opened his mouth to ask, that Danqing remembered that they didn't have the tools to dig the grave.

When Sima Yu heard this, he pointed to the box and said, "You take this box and stand a little to the side, and leave the excavation to me." ”

Originally, Danqing wanted to volunteer to replace Sima Yu and let him dig it, but Sima Yu resolutely stopped him.

When Danqing moved away with the box, Sima Yu extended his aura and moved the stone pile layer by layer.

The reason why she had to move away layer by layer was that Sima Yu was afraid of damaging the bones inside, and she was entrusted by others, she didn't want to be disrespectful to the dead, especially to Danqing.

Danqing, who was waiting on the side, was instantly shocked by the phenomenon in front of him, and couldn't help but ask in his heart, "Is this okay?" ”

While feeling the shock, Danqing also had a yearning in his heart, he longed for himself to be able to have such an ability one day, not can, but must have.

Just when Danqing was still shocked and imagining, Sima Yu cleaned up the rubble on and around Mrs. Hua's bones.

Sima Yu bowed to the bones again, and then called Danqing to bring the box over and put it next to it to prepare to hold the bones.

Danqing reacted when he heard this, and took the box and put it next to him.

Although more than a hundred years have passed, according to the display posture of the skeleton in the pit, Danqing can still see that this is the bones of a middle-aged woman, because he can see that these bones have not yet aged.

Sima Yu saw Danqing looking at the corpse in a daze, and thought that he was scared, so he said, "Don't be afraid, you just treat this as a pile of bones, or you stand aside first, I'll put the bones away, and you come over again." ”

Although Sima Yu's words were a little disrespectful, but for the sake of Danqing, she felt that it was nothing to say such things, especially since she knew that Mrs. Hua had already died, even if she hadn't died, she said such a thing, and a ghost like Mrs. Hua would not dare to blame her.

When Danqing heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and spoke, "No, it's not because I'm afraid, it's just that I found out that this Mrs. Hua shouldn't be very old when she passed away, so I'm a little curious." ”

"Oh, how did you see this?" Originally, Sima Yu wanted to put away the bones, but when he heard this, he withdrew the aura gathered in his hand.

"I can see it based on the shape of these bones, as well as the change in texture. While Danqing answered, another question was in his mind, that is, why didn't this lady even have a funeral item?

Although it is not said that everyone will have funeral goods when they are buried, this person claims to be Mrs. Hua, and in the past, if it was not the wife of a dignitary, she could not be called Mrs. casually. It is for these reasons that Danqing feels strange.

Thinking of this, Danqing secretly said in his heart, "It's bad, could this not be Mrs. Nahua's bones?"

"Do you think this is not Mrs. Nahua's bones? This is going to the ancestral grave of Nahua's family, let's not be mistaken. Do you want to confirm it again?"

Sima Yu had been thinking about Danqing's answer to the previous question, and after thinking about it, he felt that what he said also made some sense.

Hearing Dan Qing ask such a question at this moment, Sima Yu said, "No, you step aside, this corpse has been buried for too long, and it may contain some poisonous gas." ”

Seeing that Sima Yu was so sure, Danqing was just curious, and asked again while moving to the side, "Then how can there not even be a single burial item in this tomb?" If she is really a lady, there shouldn't be those." ”

"You've been really careful, and although I can't tell why there are no burial goods in there, it's not wrong to be sure that it's Mrs. Hua's bones. While speaking, Sima Yu did not stop the movements in his hands.

In a moment, all the bones in the pit were transferred to the box by Sima Yu, and after confirming that nothing was missing, she closed the box.

Since Sima Yu insisted that he was not mistaken, it would not be wrong, but the problem of no funeral goods was really put in Danqing's heart.

It turned out that since Danqing knew that Mrs. Hua, who had never met before, gave him a big gift, he had inexplicable respect for him in his heart, and even treated him as a relative, so he was repeatedly suspicious and asked each other several times.

All in all, Danqing just felt that Mrs. Hua's life was a little miserable, which was different from what he imagined, and what he saw now made him feel a little sad.
