The men who were chopping wood and bamboo in the mountains had just come down and sat down to drink some water. When they saw them coming back, they came over to help unload their things.
"What did they say to you when they stopped you, second brother?"
After arriving home, Meng Shichang asked Meng Shijie.
As soon as they got home, the four Yongxing brothers came over to help unload the things from the car.
In fact, it was also because of the scene where he was stopped by the Yang family at the entrance of Meng Shijie Village just now.
They were a little far away, and when they were about to rush over, Meng Shijie came back and didn't go.
Now I also want to hear what the Yang family member said when he stopped Meng Shijie.
Don't be looking for trouble again.
They also discovered in the village these days that those two families are mentally ill.
They always want to find fault whether there is something to do or not. They really think they are not capable enough and don't even see that there are only a few of them.
If a conflict really breaks out, they will definitely be the ones to suffer.
They really had no idea what was going on, so they just wanted to teach those two families a lesson.
"They must have seen me carrying the plow and knew I was going to plow the fields. They were unhappy and wanted to stop us from planting the fields."
"You all have the land deeds, and they were approved by Zhifu.
They can’t just not give it if they don’t want to.
If they continue to make trouble, just send the authorities to arrest them."
Yong'an is a simpleton. After staying in the village for a few days, he would have wanted to beat up the Yang family every day if Yongxing hadn't stopped him.
“Well, we know that.
I just can't understand who would bury the bones in a paddy field, in the middle of the ground."
Meng Shijie confirmed that he was definitely not imagining things.
"What did you say?"
Everyone else thought they had misheard.
"I'm not idle, I'm carrying a plow and going to plow the fields.
Because I had never done it before and didn't know how, I plowed the field in a mess. I plowed a little too deep at the beginning and dug up someone's grave.
I was sure I had dug out a bone, so I thought about burying it quickly.
As a result, when digging the soil nearby, more and more bones were found. There were bones everywhere, as well as hair and clothes, and the clothes were not rotten.
There are several people buried there, at least three or more, and there are no coffins, just like they were just thrown there randomly..."
The more Meng Shijie talked, the more he felt that this matter was very strange, but he didn't know that others were horrified when they heard it.
"Could it be a mass grave there?"
Meng Shuxia raised questions.
"That land is a good paddy field and looks quite fertile, how could it be a mass grave?
Even if it's a mass grave, after so many years, no matter how many bones there are, they will be dug out."
Mr. Meng used to farm when he was a child, so he knows a lot about the land.
"Yes, that land has been cultivated for at least ten years. If you just plow it and find bones, it means that someone who died recently was buried there.
Didn’t you say that your clothes and hair are still there?
That's a paddy field, and if the clothes are still there, they must have been buried there less than two years ago, and they were buried directly, probably without even a straw mat."
Wang Liangli was originally a farmer, and he was a good farmer at that. It was not uncommon for him to come across corpses in the fields.
If the soul is alone, they will dig up the bones and bury it in a suitable place or a mass grave.
"Second brother said the clothes are still in good condition?"
The four people from Yongxing looked at each other and felt that the corpses in the field were a little unusual.
After all, what normal person would bury corpses in farmland or paddy fields when surrounded by mountains?
Isn't that stupid?
If there was a coffin, it would have rotted away and there would be no clothes left.
So they could preliminarily determine that the remains must have been from recent years.
[Could it be that someone killed someone and buried him?
This is a mountainous area. If someone dies, they will definitely be carried up the mountain. It is definitely safer than burying them in the paddy fields.
Buried in a paddy field, without a grave mound, the only purpose was to conceal it.
Meng Shuyan was also discussing this with everyone in her mind.
The Meng family members all thought it was true.
Then I heard Meng Shuyan's inner voice.
[If it was a murder cover-up, then the two families of Village Chief Yang are the most likely suspects.
Because they are the ones who cultivate the land.
No wonder they are unwilling to share the land with us.
They must be afraid of discovering corpses.]
After hearing this, the Meng family thought about it and felt that it was very strange that Village Chief Yang had a gloomy face and refused to give in when they first saw them dividing the land.
He’s coming! He’s coming!
He came here with bad luck! 】
A few people were making random guesses when Meng Shuyan saw from a distance several large clouds of moldy black as ink coming. It was Village Chief Yang, his brother and a few others.
"Have you been plowing?"
This is what the village chief said when he came over.
Everyone who saw this became even more certain that the corpses in the ground were unusual.
It would be strange if there was nothing fishy going on with the village chief and his men.
“What’s the matter?
Are you still thinking of not letting us farm that land?
Your brother was also at the government office that day, and he saw with his own eyes that it was the prefect who granted us the land.
You have no say."
Meng Shijie knew what the village chief wanted to ask and said this on purpose.
Sure enough, after hearing what Meng Shijie said, the village chief and his men looked much more relaxed.
“Of course not.
The land was approved by the prefect, so of course you can farm it.
I just came here to ask, it's winter now, what can you plant after plowing the land.
I have nothing to do at home, so I was thinking about growing something with you guys."
"I think you're dreaming!"
