It was cold and windy inside the mass grave, Shang Yunze led two of his subordinates along the original road to the mountain, and sure enough, they heard the previous rustling sound again, as if someone was turning over the corpse.
The waning moon in the sky was like blood, making the surroundings even more eerie. Shang Yunze stood there calmly for a moment, then waved his hands to signal his subordinates, and the three fell silently onto a tree.
There are few stars in the sky, so I can only vaguely see it. In the dark tomb, there seems to be a black shadow moving slowly, and the movement is very stiff, as if looking for something. This kind of scene was too creepy, even Shang Yunze, who was born in all kinds of battles, felt a little suspenseful in his heart, let alone the other two.
After a while, the movement in the graveyard gradually subsided, and the surroundings became quiet again, and there was no other sound after a long time.
"Castle Master?" One of the subordinates looked over tentatively.
Shang Yunze shook his head, "It's too risky to go down now, stay here and wait until daytime."
Although the light is very dim, it can be confirmed that no one or animal ran out of the mass grave just now. As long as it is dawn, we can see clearly what is going on below.
The subordinate nodded and continued to lurk on the tree, staring intently at the movement below.
The night passed quickly, and there was gradually noise outside the tent. Mu Qingshan lazily opened his eyes, and stretched vigorously.
There was nothing around me, and the bedding was cold.
Mu Qingshan turned his head in doubt, why is there no one here, he can see it every day when he opens his eyes, could something have happened
"Master." The guard was having breakfast outside the door. When he saw him, he put down his bowl and said, "The castle master specially asked us to buy tofu flower and steamed stuffed buns, and we will come right away." It's really considerate, which is much better than that of Master Zhao. .
"Where did he go?" Mu Qingshan asked.
Anwei said, "In the Cangmang Mountain, it is said that we are going to visit the Mass Burial Mound."
"Mass grave?" Mu Qingshan was surprised, "Could there really be a sound last night?"
"I don't know, the rest of the Lord Shang didn't elaborate, he just said that he came back this morning." Anwei said, "He brought two subordinates with him."
"Only brought two people?" Mu Qingshan was even more worried when he heard the words, why didn't he bring more people, there was noise in the mass grave, what if there was a zombie riot
"Master, don't worry, the Castle Master doesn't seem like an impulsive person." An Wei said, "Since I have made a decision, it should be after careful consideration."
"But it's almost noon now." Mu Qingshan looked at the sky, "Didn't you say you'll be back in the morning?"
Seeing his anxious expression, the dark guard was just planning to go to the mountains to have a look, but fortunately Shang Yunze came back in time, "Why are you standing at the door?"
"You're finally back." Mu Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief.
"Master just heard that the castle owner went to the mountains, and he was very worried and anxious." The secret guard immediately played the role of the intimate cotton pants, and added embellishment, "I even want to go into the mountains to find it in person, and we are persuading him."
Mu Qingshan: ...
He is not so overreaching.
"How many mass graves are there in this city?" Shang Yunze asked.
"There is only one." Mu Qingshan replied, "The population in Cangmang City is not large, and there are even fewer homeless outsiders, and there are not many corpses in the mass grave."
"That's good." Shang Yunze nodded, "Start the fire, there was indeed something crawling inside last night, when I checked again this morning, there was nothing but a corpse."
"Zombie?" The dark guard frowned when he heard this.
"Nine out of ten." Shang Yunze nodded.
"Then you have to burn it secretly." Mu Qingshan said, "The locals are very taboo about such things, and they don't know about wild puppets. If it spreads that the government burned the mass graves, I'm afraid it will have an impact on adults."
"Naturally." Shang Yunze said, "I will consider everything carefully. There are also people from Tengyun Castle secretly guarding the mass grave, but the matter should be done as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more troubles."
Mu Qingshan nodded, "I'll go back and find my lord."
Shang Yunze said, "I'll be with you."
"Aren't you going to rest for a while?" Mu Qingshan asked concerned, "I didn't sleep all night."
Shang Yunze smiled, "I'm not tired."
The dark guards agreed fiercely beside him, saying how could Lord Shang be tired? He is obviously so strong in martial arts, not to mention staying up all day and night, even if he doesn't sleep for three days and three nights, it's no problem at all, and it can even be extended to ten. It's been half a month, and I feel very safe when I hear it.
It is worth entrusting for life.
Shang Yunze took Mu Qingshan's hand, and together they strode out of the tent.
Master Mu obediently trotted to keep up.
I don't want to listen to it anymore!
The dark guards stood in a row and watched the two leave with very kind eyes.
The scene is very touching.
Inside the government office, Zhao Yue was feeding Wen Liunian breakfast when he heard someone shouting outside, "My lord!"
"It's Master who's back." Wen Liunian wiped his mouth, but he didn't see anyone coming in for a long time, so he wondered, did he have auditory hallucinations
"My lord!" Mu Qingshan shouted again, "We're coming in!"
Zhao Yue: ...
Pushing open the wooden door, Mu Qingshan and Shang Yunze walked into the small courtyard together. After seeing Zhao Yue, they both said, "Sure enough, it's a good thing I called in advance, otherwise I don't know what I will see." expression.
"Sit down quickly." Wen Liunian greeted, then turned to look at Zhao Yue, "Go and make some tea."
Master Zhao put down the bowl, turned around and went to the hall to make tea.
Mu Qingshan looked at him with surprised eyes, what happened in the past few days, why did the head become so obedient
The Lord of Shangbao rubbed his nose and suppressed a smile.
"Master, is there something for me?" Wen Liunian asked.
"It's for the wild puppets." Mu Qingshan glanced at Shang Yunze, and asked him to tell what happened last night.
"Cangmang Mountain Mass Burial Mound." Wen Liunian didn't seem too surprised, "Sure enough."
"My lord guessed it?" Mu Qingshan asked.
"It's not hard to guess." Wen Liunian said, "Guard Zuo also said earlier that the wild puppet's body has not been refined for a long time."
"Can we burn the entire mass grave?" Mu Qingshan asked.
"That's not necessary." Wen Liunian shook his head.
"Why?" Mu Qingshan was slightly puzzled.
"Refining wild puppets requires corpses. Now there are mass graves, so it is convenient to have ready corpses." Wen Liunian said, "If the mass graves are burned and the other party can't find the corpses, then the people in the city will suffer."
Mu Qingshan came to his senses, patted his head and said, "Why didn't I think of this."
"Guardian Zuo and Xiao Wu came over yesterday, and they also worked out a way to deal with it," Wen Liunian said.
"What method?" Mu Qingshan hurriedly asked.
"The method is not difficult." Wen Liunian said, "You need to use one thing."
As for what that thing is...
The red-armored wolf lay on the top of the box, looking listlessly at Huatang.
I have been hungry for three days.
It's fine if you don't give worms, why don't you even have meat.
"Little poor." Hua Tang stroked it with her fingers, "Persist for another day, and I'll take you to eat well tonight."
The red-armored wolf couldn't understand at all, and was very unhappy with its drooping tentacles.
Going to starve to death.
"Just this small one?" Zhao Wu sat at the table, "Are you sure it's useful?"
"Naturally." Hua Tang said, "Where there are red-armored wolves, let alone Gu worms, even ordinary worms don't dare to stay longer."
"But it seems to be starving to death." Zhao Wu looked carefully, "Is it okay? Master Zhao seems to regard it as a treasure."
"No." Huatang put the red-armored wolf into a small box, "I can survive without eating for ten days and half a month, much better than you."
Zhao Wu: ...
What does this have to do with me
"What if he ran away?" Zhao Wu asked again after a while.
Hua Tang said, "Then I will pay my lord to the head."
Zhao Yue came in from the door.
Hua Tang: ...
Zhao Yue's expression was very calm, as if he hadn't heard anything.
The red-armored wolf crawled out of the box again, lying on the side and looking at him pitifully.
Do you have food
Zhao Yue: ...
Huatang reminded, "The boss agreed to lend me."
"Naturally." Zhao Yue said, "I'm not here to take it back either, the left protector is just for use."
Huatang said, "Then what's the big boss doing?"
Zhao Yue said, "Is there any medicine to soothe the nerves?"
"Yes." Huatang nodded, "Didn't your lord sleep well recently?"
"No." Zhao Yue said, "He slept well, I want it."
Huatang said, "Should I have a pulse test first?"
Zhao Yue sat at the table and stretched out his wrist.
Hua Tang touched her finger and tried it for a while, then said, "Your body is fine, so you don't have to worry about it."
Zhao Yue was very distressed.
He naturally knew that his body was fine, but it was his heart that had trouble.
Not only did he fall asleep later and later, but he also dreamed more and more of nerds, and even had some very... unspeakable dreams. No matter how slow Master Zhao was, he could sense what this meant, but once he realized it, he became even more entangled.
Not being able to sleep every night is always not a solution. Before figuring out a way to solve this problem, I can only take some medicine for a while.
Hua Tang looked at him with eyes full of sympathy, "Is it because of your lord's end?" Even the dark circles appeared under her eyes.
Zhao Yue's expression froze, and then he said, "No."
Huatang comforted, "It's best for the master to tell the truth, so that I can prescribe the medicine."
Zhao Yue: ...
The red-armored wolf lay on the ground for a long time and didn't wait to be fed, so it shrank back sadly.
No one really cares...
"I often have dreams recently." Zhao Yue said, "I can't remember what I dreamed."
I have to admit that I dream about nerds every night, and I can't say it even if I am killed.
"What a dream." Huatang said, "Are there any other symptoms?"
Zhao Yue shook his head, "No."
"What's on the head's mind recently?" Hua Tang asked again.
Zhao Yue began to regret that he came to ask for medicine.
But I can't go.
I had no choice but to say, "I've always had a lot of things on my mind." It's not just nonsense, it's just that recently... there are a lot of them.
Huatang nodded, and prescribed two prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine for him, "I'll bring it over after I fry it."
"Thank you." Zhao Yue nodded, stood up and planned to go back.
"Big master." Huatang called to stop him.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yue asked.
Hua Tang reminded, "We still have to spy tonight. If the head of the family is not energetic, he can rest in the mansion, don't force it."
"No problem." Zhao Yue said, "I will come on time." Anyway, I can't sleep, so I might as well find something to do.
Hua Tang nodded and watched him leave the courtyard.
"Where have you been?" In the small courtyard on the other side, Wen Liunian was basking in the sun.
Zhao Yue calmly said, "Go to Protector Zuo and ask about your condition."
Wen Liunian wondered, "But Guardian Zuo just came here last night, why do you want to ask again?"
Zhao Yue said, "Naturally, you need to ask more about this kind of thing, so that you can feel more at ease."
Wen Liunian said, "What about Guardian Zuo?"
Zhao Yue said casually, "Better than yesterday."
Wen Liunian was even more puzzled, "How can we draw conclusions without seeing a doctor?"
Zhao Yue: ...
Wen Liunian wisely picked up the plate, "Have some snacks."
Zhao Yue picked up one.
Wen Liunian said, "Master and Lord Shang went to have breakfast, and before leaving, he said that the tea made by the master is very good."
Zhao Yue choked.
I can still receive such compliments.
"It's very good." Wen Liunian sat down beside him, "The water and tea are just right."
Zhao Yue looked at him helplessly, "Is this a compliment to me?"
"Tell the truth." Wen Liunian said, "The snacks are also delicious."
Zhao Yue tugged at his hair.
Wen Liunian said, "After the injury is healed, I'll make willow leaf crisps for you to eat."
Zhao Yue looked at him in surprise.
Wen Liunian said firmly, "I know you like it."
Zhao Yue frowned, "Did Lu Zhui tell you again?"
Could there be something else to do... Besides, I have been here almost every step of the way these days, and he can find a chance to come and say these things? !
In fact, it's more than that. Wen Liunian looked at him, "Do you want to eat?"
Master Zhao was silent for a moment, "Eat."
Wen Liunian grinned.
Zhao Yue felt a little powerless.
This kind of fox temperament, if he really moved his mind, the road ahead should be very difficult.
It's just that even if it's hard to go, I don't want to stop here, but I really want to... give it a try.
Wen Liunian looked at him, "What are you thinking?"
Zhao Yue came back to his senses, "Private matters."
Wen Liunian said, "Let's hear it."
Zhao Yue shook his head, "Since it's a private matter, naturally you can't tell others easily."
Wen Liunian scratched his face, "Stingy."
"If there is a chance in the future, I will tell you." Zhao Yue looked at him.
"Alright." Wen Liunian nodded, "Then it's settled, you are not allowed to play tricks."
"Okay." Zhao Yue agreed.
Wen Liunian stretched out his hand, "High five."
Zhao Yue was amused, and cooperated with him to lightly clap three times.
I can only hope that in the future, I can really wait for this opportunity.
