A big pit had been dug under the tree. At this time, no one cared that the group of villagers had gathered more and more. The deeper they dug, the more obsessed they became - there were gold, silver and jewelry underneath, and a rich man was buried underneath - there was a big gold bracelet hanging on the exposed bone alone, and even though it had been underground for who knows how long, it still sparkled in the sun, emitting a dazzling brilliance.
We are all refugees, and our ancestors have never seen such a thing in their eight lifetimes. If they had such a gold bracelet in their hometown, they could buy some land and live for several years. What good life would they not have
Money is the most attractive thing for people who work hard to make a living and don't know what will happen tomorrow. They don't care about ethics, morality, integrity, consequences or no consequences.
The village head, Uncle Hu, was so angry that his beard was shaking. He hurried over with the help of his grandson, panting. Before he could curse, he saw a piece of human bone sticking out of the pit where the group of people were gathered. He was so scared that his scalp went numb and he took a few steps back.
There are rules and customs for the dead in the village. No one would be so careless as to bury them under a tree. No matter how poor, they have to be buried in the ancestral tomb. At the very least, they have to have a thin-skinned coffin. It would be wrong to bury them casually or put them anywhere.
Besides, this is a public place in the village, no one has the right to be buried here!
He held his grandson's hand and looked at the beggars who spoke with obvious foreign accents. He was out of breath and panted for a long time before calling out to the villagers who had come over: "Quick! Quick! Stop them!"
It was early in the morning and the villagers were still confused. They quickened their pace after hearing the old man's shout. When they saw this scene, they were also a little dazed and rushed forward to stop the group of people.
The banker had already squatted down to touch the gold bracelet, but was knocked into the pit by the rush of the group of people. However, he still did not let go of the bracelet. There was dirt in his mouth, and he spat it out. He was bumped by someone again, and subconsciously supported himself with his other hand.
As he pushed forward, he felt that he had touched something again. Thinking that he had struck lucky again, he quickly reached out his hand, but it turned out to be a piece of wood carved into a sword.
He made a disgusted sound and threw it aside impatiently.
The villagers started to curse at each other: "Where did you come from, you bastards? How dare you act wildly here? You are so blind! Where can you cause trouble?!"
Cursing, the village head stamped his cane and shouted breathlessly: "How did they know to dig here? The bodies in here might have been murdered by them!"
The folks in our village are simple and honest. We have never heard of any murder for money. They killed the person and buried the body. Now that the storm has passed, they are still coming to dig up things. This is really shocking.
The head of the village asked the strong villagers to stop the group of people, and at the same time instructed the villagers he was familiar with to report to the government.
The village is far from the city. Even if they ride a donkey, it will take a long time. The head of the village urged them: "Go to the guard post! Tell Captain Shen first and ask him to bring people!"
Shenjia Village is a military settlement. The entire village is populated by military households, and the guard posts nearby are naturally related to them as well.
Now that Captain Shen has arrived, he will naturally make the decision for them.
The banker held the gold bracelet tightly. The villagers, who outnumbered him, quickly subdued him and pushed him aside without saying a word.
The village head then walked a few steps forward, stomped his cane at the pit, turned around and pointed at the group of people, gritting his teeth: "Tell me the truth, when did you bury the body here?!"
The banker was already confused. Now that he thought about it carefully, he could hardly figure out how he got here. It was only at this moment that he thought of Ruan Xiaojiu.
But where could Ruan Xiaojiu find anyone at this time
The village was in chaos. Ruan Xiaojiu hid on a nearby hilltop and waited until almost noon before he saw a group of soldiers from the garrison walking towards the big tree from the village entrance.
He breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the group of people with burning eyes, feeling a little nervous.
The girl asked him to bring a group of people to dig up the tree and make a big deal out of it.
He did as the girl asked and lured the people here. Now he has also alarmed the soldiers of the garrison. He just doesn't know if this meets the girl's requirements and if it is considered to be making things worse
Besides, what is the origin of that corpse under the big tree
How did the girl know there was that thing underneath
Thinking of this, Ruan Xiaojiu couldn't help but shiver.
He knew about Su Yao's experience. He had never been to this place since he was a child. How could he describe the signs so accurately, even describing a small jujube tree next to the big tree
This is too weird.
But this thought only lasted for a moment in his mind, and he quickly shook his head, secretly cursing himself for being nosy.
Girls always have their own reasons for doing things. He doesn't know anything else, but the one who gave him a way out and made him feel like an individual now is that girl.
As for other things, he just pretended that he didn't know.
The place under the big tree was becoming more and more lively. Captain Shen was also a villager who had left the village, so he naturally had deep feelings for the villagers. He went to see the head of the village, Old Man Shen, first.
Old Man Shen told him the general situation and was very puzzled: "I don't know how a group of outsiders like them got here and dug up a body... Our village has never had a murder case in all these years, but looking at the way the body was buried, it's impossible that it's not someone from our village, and it's not a normal death... You have to investigate carefully!"
That tree is an old tree in their Shenjia Village. The Taoist priest once said that it was a feng shui tree.
Now it has been dug up and there are corpses buried underneath. How can it not be unlucky
Old Man Shen was angry, and the villagers were also indignant. Moreover, with another dead body found, everyone was actually a little nervous.
Captain Shen listened quietly, agreed calmly, and patiently comforted Old Man Shen and the villagers to reassure them. Then he took the soldiers out and went under the big tree. He saw the seven or eight people tied up on the side, frowned, and ignored them for the time being and went to check the bodies in the pit first.
The soldiers came over and saw that everything had turned into white bones. They sighed, "It looks like it's been a long time! It must have taken at least ten years for the bones to turn into this. And there are so many things. Tsk tsk, she must be a rich girl! But how could she die so miserably? No one was with her... She died in a place like this."
Captain Shen glanced at him and said, "You are quite experienced?"
