The coffin was opened, the heavy coffin lid was put aside, and the smell of corpses came out.
After Cang Lang glanced inward, his expression changed slightly.
Tang Ning couldn't help but take a step forward. When she lowered her eyes to see clearly what was inside the coffin, her face instantly turned pale. The next moment, the figure beside her reached out to cover her eyes, and protected her with his long arms. In arms.
"Don't look!"
Xiao Yan covered Tang Ning's eyes and spoke in a low voice, but unfortunately it was a step too late.
The palms of his hands were instantly soaked with tears, and the person in his arms had trembling eyelashes and a trembling figure.
The two corpses in the coffin had already corroded, leaving only dead bones and hair. However, the corpses that should have been arranged neatly seemed to have been turned over. One of the corpses had its head and body separated and was "intertwined" with the bones of the other.
It seemed that the people who were stirring had no scruples, just for the contents of the coffins. The clothes on the two corpses were torn apart, the joints were smashed everywhere, and the broken bones were scattered inside the coffins.
The inside of the coffin was covered with faded and corroded bright yellow paper charms. The bones that should have been withered and yellow seemed to have been splashed with blood. The bones and the inside of the coffin were both a strange dark brown color after the blood dried.
Tang Ning clutched Xiao Yan's sleeves tightly. She wanted to speak but could not utter a single word. When her tears burst into tears, she felt overwhelming anger accumulating in her chest. When she was extremely angry, her breathing felt as if someone was pinching her. He stopped and fell down, trembling all over.
Xiao Yan sensed something was wrong, and when he quickly let go of his hand, he saw that Tang Ning's face turned blue, as if he had lost strength.
"Tang Ning!"
Xiao Yan quickly hugged her and put her on the ground, put his arms around her and pinched her gently.
"Exhale...Tang Ning..."
"Breathe out and obey!"
Xiao Yan's tone gradually became more urgent, but Tang Ning just opened his mouth and his chest heaved, as if he couldn't hear the outside sounds at all.
"Girl!"
Cang Lang was so frightened that he gathered around him, and the expressions of the other black-armored guards also changed. They saw Tang Ning leaning in Xiao Yan's arms and refusing to breathe. His face was bruised from suffocation, as if he was about to hold his breath.
Just as Cang Lang was about to speak, he saw Xiao Yan's eyes darken. He suddenly lowered his head, leaned close to Tang Ning, and put his lips against hers.
There was silence for a moment, and everyone's eyes widened.
Lord, he...
Canglang was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he hurriedly shouted to his side.
"Turn around and close your eyes!"
The black-armored guards all closed their eyes and turned around.
Xiao Yan didn't seem to hear anything going on around him, he just lowered his head and leaned against Tang Ning's lips. The soft touch made him not miss her at all, he just held the person in his arms and breathed towards her.
Their noses and breaths mingled, and after a moment, she felt her throat move and she began to gasp.
Xiao Yan's tight heart suddenly relaxed, and he hugged the person in front of him into his arms. While caressing Tang Ning's back, he whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Tang Ning leaned in his arms, panting violently in her throat, as if she heard the voice saying "Don't be afraid" over and over again in her ears. The air that poured into her throat made her seem to come alive.
She rested her chin on the man's chest and suddenly started crying, holding on to the shirt of the man in front of her.
"Brother, I want to kill them, I want to kill them!!"
Dad and grandma are already dead, why should they have no peace after death?
She's going to kill whoever touched their coffins, she's going to kill them! ! !
Xiao Yan listened to the girl's hoarse cries and held her tightly in his arms. When his clothes were soaked with tears, it seemed that his heart was also soaked in the tears.
He held the trembling little girl in his arms, his dark eyes as if quenched by ice.
"Okay, kill them."
…
Gu Helian left quickly and came back quickly. When he got off his horse, two men were thrown down.
Song Wenli and the others also came back. When they saw clearly the situation in the coffins of Song Xi and his wife, Gu Helian was so angry that he almost killed someone. The faces of the Song family members became paler than the others, and when they trembled and looked at Xiao Yan with cold eyes, they just felt Big trouble.
The "tombkeeper" who was brought over knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Little man, little man, I really don't know what's going on. We were ordered by our master to stay in Shang'an Village to guard the tomb. Although there is some distance, we will take turns to visit this cemetery every few days. Every few days The area will also be cleaned, so no one can open the coffin."
Another person was also trembling: "No one has touched this tomb since the second master and the others were buried here. Back then, this tomb was not like this. How could this...how could it become like this..."
They were also present when Song Xi and his wife were buried. The Rong family personally picked the coffin, and members of the Song and Rong families also came together to watch the burial of the two. The coffin was clean that day. They had dug the deep pit for the coffin in advance, so there was no way there would be these things.
But those talismans...
The two "grave guards" were so frightened that they lost their courage.
Tang Ning's eyes were red and swollen, maybe she had vented her anger, or maybe the hand beside her gently supporting her gave her strength, and she was able to calm down at this time.
"After my parents were buried, you have been guarding the Song family's tomb?"
The two people nodded quickly, and one of them said tremblingly: "We brothers are all sons of the Song family. We have always stayed here in Shang'an Village. Not only do we come here in turn on weekdays, but the villagers hired by the village will also take care of us from time to time. Here, the ancestral graves of the master’s family are here, and we dare not neglect them at all.”
Their parents, children, and their family status are all in the Song family. If something goes wrong with this ancestral grave, the whole family will lose their lives.
Tang Ning said hoarsely: "Then if someone comes secretly..."
"impossible."
The older man said anxiously: "The terrain here is very high. Although it is surrounded by dense forests, it is right opposite the village where we live, and there is only one road down the mountain from here, which passes through the village."
"The county master and several adults came here today because someone from the master's family came to say hello, so we didn't stop them. But if someone else comes secretly, they can't hide it from the nearby farmers during the day. It can’t even be covered when a torch moves around.”
Gu Helian next to him said coldly: "He didn't lie."
The forest is very dense and shady. You can't see the road clearly without a torch. When he took people to the village to find someone, he also found that the top of the mountain is facing the village, and people in the village can see the mountain. There was a faint light from the fire, and the farmland at the foot of the mountain was growing very well, so it must have been taken care of regularly.
Xiao Yan asked in a deep voice: "You guys come here every day, never stopping?"
The man was about to say never, but suddenly paused.
Gu Helian raised her foot and kicked her: "If you have something to say, say it. If you dare to lie, I'll take your head off!"
"No, I don't dare to lie. We do come here every day, even if it's windy or rainy, but...but..."
"But what?" Gu Helian shouted.
The man looked at the Song family hesitantly.
