Chapter 532 The Stormy Weather

Judging from the color of the soil and the state of the surrounding weeds, this grave had been dug up for some time.

I also looked at several tombs nearby, but found none of Li's.

Considering that Li Qianggui and Mr. Li died one after another, and Mr. Li had no relatives in the village, I am afraid no one would have built a separate grave for her. Therefore, they were probably buried together.

In order to confirm their speculation, Shen Mo and Du Lai continued to excavate the half-planed grave.

The soil was loose and the body was buried shallowly. It didn't take long for them to dig out Li Qianggui's remains.

The corpse had rotted into bones. There was no coffin and it was only wrapped in a layer of straw mat. There were obvious marks of being chopped on the neck. It was undoubtedly Li Qianggui.

Shen Mo and Du Lai continued digging, trying to find Li's body.

Although Li died after Li Qianggui, according to ancient customs, the wife was never allowed to lie on top of her husband when the couple was buried together.

If Li was not on the right side of Li Qianggui, it could only be deeper underground.

The wind is blowing, the temperature is dropping quickly, and it's getting dark.

And they still found nothing.

snap——

A drop of rain fell on Bai Youwei's cheek, feeling wet and cool.

She reached out and touched it, then looked up at the sky.

The dark clouds covered the sky tightly and seamlessly, and more raindrops fell, pattering, and then pattering.

The rain is getting heavier.

"Stop digging, let's go quickly..." Fu Miaoxue was already impatient with waiting and stamped her feet anxiously on the spot. She was scared and nervous, lest Du Lai and Shen Mo dig something out of the ground.

Bai Youwei stared at the increasingly deep hole without saying a word, and then looked at the gloomy woods around her. She finally said, "Let's go, Li's bones are not here."

The two men also felt that there was little hope and came up one after another.

Du Lai took a breath and said: "Li Shangzi's bones are here, but Li's bones are not there. Does this mean that what the woman carrying the bones has been transporting is actually not her husband's bones, but her own? If we can let her In her grave, maybe she can stop."

There must be some reason why women keep moving.

Either, there is a grudge that has not been avenged;

Or, there is an unfulfilled wish.

"You can try it." Shen Mo nodded slightly, "If what she transported is really her own bones, this method is worth a try."

Fu Miaoxue said: "But we don't even know her name and identity! Even if we build a new tomb for her, we can only write the word 'Li' on the tombstone!"

"Could it be that... the key to clearing the game is to find out Li's true identity?" Bai Youwei thought deeply and murmured, "Let's take a look at it tonight to see whose corpse she transported."

They came down from the mountain and returned to the village.

At this time, the sky was completely dark.

In the darkness, only two white lanterns hung dimly outside the courtyard gate of Li Zheng's house. The faint light flickered, as if it might be extinguished by the rain at any time.

The village was dead silent, only the sound of rain and wind could be heard.

They took shelter from the rain at Li's house.

Every household closed its doors and windows, and only the unoccupied Li family could enter. If one ignores the leaky roof, the tablets on the table, the prayer papers on the ground, and the thick musty smell of moisture in the air, this place is barely enough for them to live in.

In the dark wind and rain, they heard the hoarse and harsh singing voice from last night, like an old tape recorder, which began to creak and sing:

"In an instant...

Suddenly the air-conditioning hit me and dense clouds spread all around.

The slave had to straighten the arch of his shoe and did not dare to stop.

In the wilderness, there is nowhere to hide.

Wave after wave,

Bursts of bitter wind and rain drenched the clothes.

Why--

ah--

…”

Shen Mo frowned slightly, held Bai Youwei's hand, lowered his voice and asked, "Did you hear that?"

Bai Youwei was slightly stunned, thinking he was asking about the sound of opera singing, but Shen Mo continued: "There seems to be movement next door..."
