"Who? Who is there!"
The land behind the mountain was a bit eerie, not to mention that the dog beside him barked so fiercely, which made the watchman feel a little uneasy.
Ji Wanrong watched him and the dog getting closer and closer step by step, and she took a deep breath in her heart.
Who would have thought that in this village where even the poor could not afford enough to eat, there would even be such a thing as a watchman. If he discovered something strange, he might not be able to hide it from the eyes and ears of the surrounding villagers.
Then all the investigations they have done here will be in vain.
Mo Jiecheng was hiding in the tree. When he heard a louder barking, he also fell into a painful struggle in his heart.
His eyesight was good, and he saw the dog in the distance. The big yellow dog looked majestic and his name was Laifu. He was obviously the younger brother he recognized when he was stealing vegetables yesterday.
If he had said anything, I'm afraid his little brother would have to leave respectfully.
But... in front of Ji Wanrong and Shi Heng, wanting to imitate a dog barking... Mo Jiecheng is indeed a bit unimaginable.
He is the brave and handsome Prince Han in the capital. Is his tall and mighty image really going to collapse at this moment?
Ji Wanrong's eyes were fixed on the big yellow dog at the moment. Seeing that they were about to see the dug-out mound, she nervously grabbed Mo Jiecheng's sleeve.
"Mojie City? What should we do? What should we do with the current situation?"
Ji Wanrong whispered towards Mo Jiecheng.
But before she could finish her words, she heard a dog barking in her ears.
The sound didn't seem to come from far away, but rather seemed to come from someone around him.
Thinking of this, Ji Wanrong froze, then turned his head in disbelief, and saw Mo Jiecheng with a sullen face, facing the dog under the tree seriously, and barking continuously.
"Woof woof! woof woof!"
Shi Heng, who was hiding in another tree, turned his head in disbelief and stared at Mo Jiecheng who kept barking.
The effect of Mojiecheng's dog barking was extremely obvious, as if it was conveying some instruction.
When the dog next to the watchman heard this, his eyes lit up, and then his tail behind him was wagging like a propeller.
It obediently listened to the words of the big brother in the tree and stood still.
The pace of the watchman also slowed down, and his eyes swept around, and there was something clear in his eyes: "Oh, it turns out that it is a wild dog in the back mountain. Also, how could it be possible in the back mountain in the middle of the night? Will there be anyone?"
As he said this, he wanted to take two steps forward. If he took two more steps, he would be able to see the hole dug by Ji Wanrong and the others.
So Mo Jiecheng called out to his little brother twice more, and a wailing sound came out of his throat.
In the empty valley, only the barking of dogs echoed repeatedly, and it really sounded like that.
The big yellow dog Laifu understood immediately, stretched out his front paws respectfully, lay on the ground, and saluted Mo Jiecheng.
He yelled twice more, grabbed the watchman's trousers with his mouth, and forcibly pulled him away from where he was.
Watching the reaction of his dog, the watchman felt a little strange. However, he raised his head and glanced at the dark mountain behind. The locust trees on the mountain were so dark that they looked like ghosts, which made people feel shuddering.
So he followed Laifu half-heartedly and walked out.
The villagers who were originally woken up and stood alertly in the yard saw the figure of the watchman and asked again: "What's wrong? Why did Laifu scream so loudly just now?"
The watchman smiled and said: "There must be a few wild dogs barking on the back mountain. The back mountain is very ghostly. Even Laifu pulled my trousers and told me to leave quickly. He must have seen something unclean. "
When the villagers heard this, they felt a chill on their backs.
He glanced in the direction of the mountain behind him, then waved to the watchman and returned to his house.
Seeing the originally lit candles extinguished again, the entire Zhuangzi returned to tranquility.
Ji Wanrong and the three of them, who were both dogs and ghosts in the tree, took a deep breath and returned to the ground from the tree.
The situation just now was really dangerous. If the watchman had taken a step forward, he would have seen the grave dug by them.
Thinking of this, Mo Jiecheng's originally injured self-esteem returned for a moment.
"Sure enough, at the critical moment, you still need me, right? I didn't know who it was before. I looked down on others and was unwilling to let me go with you."
The corner of Ji Wanrong's mouth twitched.
I don’t know who is the real dog!
Indeed, she had never known that Mo Jiecheng could talk to a dog before. The dog was so convinced of Mo Jiecheng that it looked like Mo Jiecheng's younger brother.
In her previous life, when she occasionally read novels, she could see that the protagonist in the novel had super powers to communicate with animals. She always thought it was nonsense, but now she has seen it.
However, why does Mo Jiecheng's superpower feel a bit weird when talking about it?
However, Mo Jiecheng was a great contributor to this matter, so Ji Wanrong and Shi Heng still praised him without conscience.
The praise made Mo Jiecheng happy, and the matter of digging up people's ancestral graves became even easier.
Ji Wanrong watched as the coffin board gradually emerged from under the soil, then took out the masks from the space and asked them to put them on.
Then everyone worked together and opened the thin coffin in front of them.
I originally thought that the people inside would be eaten, and what was under me was an empty coffin. But when the coffin board was opened, there was an unpleasant smell, probably the smell of raw meat and rotten flesh accompanied by the smell of corpses, which penetrated directly through the mask. Entered everyone's nostrils.
There is a body in the coffin!
This is so sour!
Straight to the forehead!
Ji Wanrong and others felt their eyes sore from being smoked.
They turned away and waited for a while before turning their heads to look at the body in the coffin.
The interior of the coffin was very simple, and there were no burial objects. It was just a corpse and a piece of clothes that had almost rotted away.
The person inside the coffin looked like he had been buried not long ago. According to the moonlight above his head, the outline of his face could still be vaguely seen. Ji Wanrong could tell that the person in front of him was a middle-aged man in his forties.
The skin and flesh showed preliminary signs of decay, but no bones could be seen yet.
Ji Wanrong summoned the gloves from the space, gave them to the two people around him, and asked them to carry the body out of the coffin.
Her limbs were in the same condition as Aunt Sun's. They were atrophied. The fatal part was a large gash on the top of her head and her skull was shattered. She was injured by someone using a blunt instrument. It should be 90 fatal injuries.
Probably like Aunt Sun, she was killed and buried by the village chief and his men after she got mad.
However, the fact that there was a corpse in the coffin was somewhat beyond Ji Wanrong's expectation.
