Meng Shijie was so scared that he threw the bones away. But then he felt something was wrong. He thought he had dug up someone else's grave and thrown away their bones casually.
Thinking about the bad luck I have had recently, I guess it has something to do with the bones buried in this ground.
This land is a paddy field, and it needs to be irrigated every year before rice seedlings can be planted. This is equivalent to the corpse being soaked in water all the time. It would be strange if it could get better, so there is a lot of resentment.
So anyone who comes into the field will be unlucky, that's for sure.
I have to say that Meng Shijie is quite good at imagining things.
He hurriedly picked up the leg bone.
"You are a great man and do not care about the mistakes of a villain!
Don't blame me, I didn't mean it.
I didn't know you were underground, I'll bury you right now!"
Because he didn't know how to plow the land, he plowed the field particularly deeply.
After he put the bones back into the pit, he didn't dare look anywhere else and quickly dug up soil from the side to bury them.
As a result, this action is tantamount to robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Because he dug the soil around him, new bones emerged from the dug areas.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, please don't blame me, please don't blame me..."
He went to dig up soil from other places to bury it, but wherever he dug, human bones were exposed.
They also pulled out two skulls, and the dark eye sockets seemed to be staring at him as if they wanted to eat him, which scared him so much that he almost peed his pants.
Could this be a pile of dead bodies?
Otherwise, how could someone die and be buried in piles without even a coffin?
It seems that they died together and were buried together.
Whose family is so unlucky that all of them died at once and were buried together?
As he was rummaging, he actually found some clothes. Although he couldn't tell the color, he could still tell that the fabric was made of coarse cloth.
There were even two pieces of high-quality silk material, the color of which was hard to discern, but they were not rotten, so they must have been from a few years ago.
"I didn't mean to do this. Whoever buried you here is truly wicked and wicked. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and it has nothing to do with me. I'll restore your bodies. At worst, when we farm in the future, we won't farm this piece of land anymore."
Meng Shijie spoke incoherently, saying everything he could think of, while his hands were digging at the buried soil vigorously.
Suddenly I felt something pulling in the soil, turned around and saw, damn!
It's a handful of hair!
But he was so frightened that he couldn't help but let out a cry.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Before he knew it, Meng Shijie had been plowing the field for an entire afternoon, but he hadn't plowed out a single ridge.
Meng Shichang and his group who went to the provincial capital to buy things have returned.
"Brother, you're back just in time!
Woohoo…
I dug up someone’s grave, and now I’m being punished with nightmares. There are bones everywhere, as well as their clothes and hair…”
Meng Shijie has never felt that his elder brother is so close to him, and that he can appear so timely and be so kind!
He wasn't that scared at first, but when he searched around and saw bones, hair, and skulls everywhere, he really collapsed.
He felt that the ghost was blaming him and teasing him by digging up the grave.
"I really didn't mean to do it. I just came here to plow the land, but who knew I would plow out bones?
But no matter how I bury them, the bones won’t fit in, there are bones everywhere…”
Meng Shichang and the eldest son of the Zhou family looked at each other. No matter how ignorant they were, they knew that under normal circumstances, it was impossible for anyone to bury corpses in paddy fields.
When it comes to transplanting rice seedlings, the corpse will be soaked in water all the time. Isn't that a waste?
Could it be that Meng Shijie is dazzled?
Meng Shichang got off the carriage and prepared to go and see for himself what was going on.
"Even if I apologize, it's no use. I've been burying them all afternoon, and there's no way I'll ever finish burying them..."
Meng Shijie looked at his elder brother and the eldest brother of the Zhou family on the road. He was really scared. He didn't care that men don't shed tears easily and let out his anger. He would probably have nightmares at night.
When I saw my eldest brother getting off the carriage and heading to the fields, I quickly stopped him.
"Brother, don't come down. It's too unlucky. I can handle the field by myself."
"Okay, I won't go down. Then you can come up first after you finish burying the grave."
Because he could hear his niece's thoughts, Meng Shichang didn't dare to go out, for fear that he would be unlucky and unable to be with his wife.
Meng Shijie...
It turned out that he was just being too sentimental. His elder brother didn't lie at all.
Maybe because there were people around, he was not so scared, so this time Meng Shijie quickly filled the plowed soil back in.
Seeing that there were no bones exposed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally it was buried again.
"Tsk, I haven't done anything wrong, what should I be afraid of?"
After coming up, Meng Shijie comforted himself and thought that he was too cowardly just now.
Meng Shichang and Zhou's eldest son did not laugh at him.
Because there was war and famine everywhere three years ago, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there were corpses everywhere.
"Brother Zhou, you take the lead, I'll follow."
As soon as I entered the village, the door of the village chief's house was open again. There were several people at the door, all of them were members of the Yang family, chatting and chattering.
When they saw them coming, they stopped immediately and looked at them with unanimous eyes.
The women of the Yang family were all thinking, weren't these people relocated here?
Judging from the way they were dressed when they first came here, they must be very poor.
But these days, they drove ox-drawn and horse-drawn carts to the provincial capital one or two times a day, bringing back things in carts.
He doesn't look poor at all.
I'd love to see what they bought.
Looking over, Meng Shichang and Zhou's son were wondering what was in the two carriages.
But when they saw Meng Shijie walking at the back, leading an old ox and carrying a plow with wet fresh mud on it, they became nervous.
"Are you going to plow the fields?"
The village chief's wife stood up and rushed to Meng Shijie to ask him.
Meng Shijie was frightened again. He was already a little frightened and was wondering if digging up someone else's grave would bring him even more misfortune.
The village chief's wife suddenly jumped out, scaring him so much that the tip of the plow on his shoulder almost hit her in the face.
Having her face cut off is a small matter. She is unlucky and may even be killed by it.
This almost cost him a life!
"There's something wrong with you old woman!
Can't you see I'm carrying the plow?
If you want to die, go hang yourself on a tree or jump into a lake. Don't bother me!"
The village chief's wife also knew that there was something wrong with her sudden appearance just now.
But hearing Meng Shijie keep telling him to die, he also got angry.
"How do you talk like that?
I just asked if you went to plow the fields..."
"none of your business!"
Meng Shijie didn't want to have anything to do with the Yang family at all. Without waiting for the village head's wife to finish her words, he just said four words and drove the cattle away.
As soon as they entered the village, the adults from the village chief's two families ran out of the village and headed straight for the fields.
