Chapter 1589 Under the Mound

Yao Shunyu stared at Li Maochun in the distance, the confusion in his eyes was no less than that of Li Bai, "You mean there is a problem with our intelligence?"

"Killing people and setting fires with gold belts, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses, these two sentences are misleading, Jiangcheng and others were also deceived.

Li Bai lowered his voice uncontrollably, and there was a hint of caution on his face, "Is it possible that the person who spoke to you before was not Jiang Cheng at all, but a ghost."

In such an environment, Yao Shunyu's face turned very ugly when he heard these words at first, but after a moment, he shook his head hard and said, "Don't scare yourself, Jiang Cheng is the one on the other end of the phone and you can't go wrong."

Although he said this, Yao, Shun, and Yu could not explain the situation in front of them. There were no corpses in repairing bridges and roads, but Li Maochun seemed to be getting better and better as he worked. There were 7 obvious potholes on one road, and Li Maochun had filled them up. Four of them have been repaired, and the fifth one is half-way through construction.

The most important thing is that during this period, he encountered nothing, no obstacles, no supernatural events, and no ghosts. This was simply incredible compared to his experience with Li Bai.

But the only thing that pleased Li Bai in Yao, Shun, and Yu was that Li Maochun behaved very normally. From the fear at the beginning to the joy of getting better and better now, it was all written on Li Maochun's face. How could such an "ordinary person" survive? , which is also what Yao, Shun, Yu and Li Bai wanted to see.

But slowly, Yao, Shunyu and Li Bai began to feel something was wrong. It had nothing to do with Li Maochun and this road, but something changed around them.

"You feel it too?" Li Bai lowered his voice.

"Yes." Yao Shunyu's eyes swept around Li Maochun inch by inch. After a moment, he suddenly paused and noticed a small dry tree.

The tree was about ten meters away from Li Maochun. It didn't have many branches and stood in the middle of several tombs.

A few seconds later, Yao Shunyu seemed to suddenly realize something, and his breathing became rapid, "No! Look at that dead tree, it has moved. Its original position should be between Li Maochun and those barren graves!" "

The atmosphere instantly became weird, and Li Bai slowly opened his eyes wide, and the next sentence pushed the weird atmosphere to a climax, "It's not the trees that are moving, it's those barren graves, those barren graves are moving!"

As if some illusion had been shattered by a word, Yao, Shun, and Yu Li Bai felt gusts of dark wind rolling around them. At this moment, looking at Li Maochun, who was waving a hoe in full swing, there were more than a dozen barren graves around him. Originally, these The barren graves were at least ten meters away from him, but now, the nearest one was less than 5 meters away.

The most important thing is that Li Maochun still knows nothing about it.

Such an afterthought of murderous intent is obviously more dangerous than what Li Bai experienced in Yao, Shun, and Yu. If Li Maochun still has a glimmer of hope, it can only be a race against time to see who will finish the road first, or those barren graves first. Find him.

Stupid people are blessed with stupid things. If Li Maochun's psychological quality found out that the barren grave was "hunting" him now, he would be so frightened that he could not even pick up a hoe. Therefore, Yao, Shun, and Yu Li Bai could only hope in his heart that he would hurry up. Faster.

As Li Maochun moved soil more and more frequently, the soil in the big mound was also decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

When Li Maochun was loading soil into the basket for the last time, a lot of the soil below the mound was dug away, and the soil above collapsed. Li Maochun seemed to have seen something. He raised his head and was stunned at first. For a moment, then the whole person seemed to be greatly stimulated, and he took a few steps back, and then sat down on the ground, not even caring about the earthen basket in his hand.

Yao, Shun, Yu, and Li Bai took a breath of cold air at the same time. They were far away, but they could still see clearly. There was something exposed from the peeling soil. It was the small half of the shoulder of a statue.

But judging from just this small part that peeled off, the statue must be at least 4 meters high.

Li Bai's face turned pale, and she immediately thought of the wild temple where the painting teacher disappeared the night before. The painting teacher once worshiped a statue of a god that should not exist.

Yao and Shunyu stared intently at the statue's exposed shoulders, which still exuded a black luster even under the gloomy night. This reminded him of the giant black hand that appeared in the painting not long ago.

This is obviously the same thing!

Yes, the empress is born!

Empress Zhusheng came out of the painting and is now hiding in this mound!

Yao, Shunyu and Li Bai all understood now. They truly understood the dangers of tonight's road construction task. If they did not complete the road construction on time, they would be killed by the ghost graves that gradually surrounded them. However, if they wanted to complete the road construction in time and move enough soil, The premise is that as the soil continues to decrease, the Zhusheng Empress hidden in the big mound will inevitably be exposed.

And with Empress Zhusheng breaking away from her bondage, one can imagine Li Maochun's fate.

The two roads before and after are clearly dead ends! Sure enough, there were no corpses in repairing bridges and roads!

But what surprised Yao, Shun, and Li Bai was that Li Maochun did not sit still and wait for death. In the desperate situation, he broke out with unprecedented calmness and execution. Li Maochun looked around, then ran to an abandoned grave with a bamboo basket, where There are many larger rocks.

After collecting some stones, Li Maochun cautiously returned to the large mound, and then used stones of different sizes to pad the excavated soil under the mound. After confirming that it was stable, he tentatively I dug some soil and quickly filled the hole in the road.

"Smart." Li Bai couldn't help but sighed. She used stones to prevent the earth mound from collapsing, and then filled the soil as quickly as possible to complete the task. This was also the best solution she could think of at the moment.

Just when the sixth pit had been filled and there was only one pit left, an accident happened.

Li Maochun, who was digging the soil carefully, still lost to reality. The soil on the mound began to collapse. No matter how he used stones to block it, it was useless. It seemed that the collapse of the mound was only a matter of time, and it would not exceed 5 minutes at most.

It was no longer realistic to dig the soil now, which would only accelerate the collapse. Moreover, the remaining time was not enough for him to fill another earth pit. The last remaining earth pit was also the largest one, enough to accommodate him lying down.

"Is it over?" Li Bai sighed. This was a situation of inevitable death, and Li Maochun had done a good job.

In front of ghosts, things that transcend physical limitations and rules, people's struggles have always been weak and powerless. All they can do is seek a little bit of life in the cracks.

But the next second, Li Maochun moved. He did not sit there and wait for death. He picked up the basket of soil, turned around and rushed towards the nearest desolate grave with resolute momentum.
