Chapter 171 Brothers are meant to be betrayed



The bodies they are trying to transport are located relatively close to the South China Sea.

The body's name was Ao Run, which may be related to the royal family of the South China Sea.

When it comes to causing trouble, Corpse Brother is definitely a top expert.

The chaos in the West China Sea is clearly just the beginning; now it's the South China Sea's turn, and the East China Sea and North China Sea will surely follow suit.

A few days later, Bian Lang arrived at the place where the corpse was hidden.

It was a small fishing village near the South China Sea, where the villagers made a living by fishing.

In recent years, however, almost every boat that goes out to sea has an accident, which has made the villagers afraid to go out to sea, causing their quality of life to decline rapidly and many people to go hungry.

Such remote fishing villages are basically unmanaged areas.

Bian Lang, dressed in splendid clothes, appeared in the village, immediately attracting the attention of all the villagers.

Especially the children, who were almost naked, looked at Bian Lang with envy.

Poverty can never be eliminated, no matter the era.

There was quite a bit of roasted animal meat in the storage bag, so Bian Lang simply took it all out and distributed it to the children.

When the children received meat, they were reluctant to eat it themselves, and excitedly ran home to share it with their families.

"What's your name? What are you doing here?" An old man with a pipe in his mouth and a cane asked in a very unfriendly tone.

Bian Lang had just offered him some meat, but the old man was worried that the meat might be poisonous, so he didn't take it.

Bian Lang almost laughed. Did they really need to use poison to kill these fishermen?

However, from the fishermen's perspective, distrusting the waves is the right thing to do.

But for people who are often hungry, as long as there is a bite to eat, they will rush to eat it, even if it means being poisoned, they will still die full.

Bian Lang clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "I am Bian Lang, a corpse driver."

"A corpse driver?" The old man looked surprised, then quickly exhaled another smoke ring.

Bian Lang nodded and asked with a smile, "I'd like to ask, whose grave is that of Ao Run on the back hill?"

"I don't know, I don't know..." The old man waved his hand and walked away with difficulty, leaning on his cane.

Judging from the old man's reaction, that grave must be a taboo in this fishing village.

Just mentioning it makes them feel very unlucky.

Ao Run's grave is on the back mountain, with a tombstone standing there. It seems that people often come to sweep the grave.

Bian Lang originally planned to dig it open directly, but then he thought that he should find out the truth first in order to avoid harming innocent people.

The children who had taken the meat earlier turned back and looked at Bian Lang with pitiful expressions.

Bian Lang smiled and said, "Whoever can tell me whose grave Ao Run has, that's whose top-grade spirit stone it is."

"It belongs to the crazy woman's family," a little girl of seven or eight years old blurted out.

Her mother is ill, and with this high-grade spirit stone, she can get proper medical treatment.

The other children looked at her with disdain, but she didn't care at all.

Compared to a top-grade spirit stone, the disdain of my playmates is nothing.

Bian Lang took out several more spirit stones, stuffed them into the little girl's hand, and said with a smile, "Can you take me there?"

Seeing so many spirit stones, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately led the way.

The other children were filled with envy. They knew that even if their parents managed to go to sea successfully, they wouldn't earn a single high-grade spirit stone in a whole year.

A high-grade spirit stone, if exchanged for ordinary silver, would be worth a full thousand taels.

At the end of the village, there is an extremely dilapidated courtyard, with houses that are on the verge of collapse and look like they could fall at any moment.

A disheveled woman was washing clothes in the yard.

She was washing children's clothes, which were already tattered and torn, with holes all over the clothes hanging to the side.

One look at this woman's behavior and you know she really is a madwoman.

"Uncle, you go by yourself, I'm too scared to go in," the little girl said fearfully.

Even without adults reminding them, the village children would stay far away from this crazy woman.

If the crazy woman sees you, she will chase after you relentlessly, which is terrifying.

Bian Lang entered the courtyard, but the woman didn't even look up at him, continuing to wash clothes diligently.

Ao Run might be this woman's child, but he died due to some accident.

For a mother, losing a child is a devastating blow.

“I want to dig up Ao Run’s grave,” Bian Lang said bluntly.

The woman still did not react.

Perhaps all she remembers is that she once had a child, and then she lost it.

Bian Lang figured asking was pointless, so he decided to go to the back mountain to dig up the grave, and after nightfall, take the body directly to the beach, which would complete the task of transporting the corpse.

Bian Lang found it unbelievable that the body was so close to its destination for the first time.

Corpse-driving in this way is undoubtedly easy and enjoyable.

However, as soon as he arrived at the back of the mountain, he noticed that many people were rushing over.

The people who arrived were villagers from the fishing village, all carrying farm tools and with angry, fierce expressions.

"What do you want to do?" The burly man leading the group held two broad axes, his voice booming and imposing.

Bian Lang asked, "Is this your family's grave?"

“Although it’s not my family’s grave, it doesn’t contain a human being,” the burly man said.

Bian Lang asked in surprise, "Not human?"

“It’s a monster, of course,” the burly man said.

Back then, every household in the village pooled their money to hire the most powerful Onmyoji (a powerful Taoist priest) to seal the monster in this grave. More than ten years have passed, and the village has remained peaceful ever since.

If this grave is dug up, disaster will surely follow.

They wouldn't allow Bian Lang to dig up the grave.

If that monster were released, Bian Lang could simply walk away, while they would be the ones who truly suffer.
