Chapter 352: Digging graves at night is more meaningful
Yu Lingye received Xie Yingmian's resentful look and the corners of his mouth curled up.
He walked to Xie Yingmian, put his big hand on Xie Yingmian's head and rubbed it hard.
Xie Yingmian's face was filled with black lines.
This action is moving the kitten.
She glared at Yu Lingye.
However,
Because Yu Lingye was too tall, she had to stand on tiptoe and look up to meet his gaze.
Due to the angle, the dissatisfaction she wanted to express could not be conveyed. Instead, the height difference made it easier for Yu Lingye to move her head.
Xie Yingmian: ...
"What did you eat to grow up? Why are you so tall?"
Ever since he met Yu Lingye, he was either lying down or sitting in a wheelchair. Although he was able to stand up recently, the two of them had never stood face to face like this.
Only when Yu Lingye was actually standing in front of her did she realize how ridiculously tall he was.
It looks to be at least 1.9 meters tall.
Men's shoes from this era were very special and were a very fine type of boot.
Yu Lingye’s boots are mostly made of animal skins, and in order to maintain wear resistance, the soles have a certain height.
Yu Lingye, who was already tall, looked even taller in boots.
Xie Yingmian's body was relatively thin, and she was barefoot, so she had to tiptoe to reach his...eartip.
In line with the principle of not suffering any loss, Xie Yingmian moved wherever he caught it.
Yu Lingye's ear was moved and he took a deep breath.
His ears, especially the tips, are the most sensitive part of his body.
His eyes were dim: "If you keep rubbing it, something terrible might happen."
Xie Yingmian felt Yu Lingye's burning gaze and quickly withdrew her hand, pretending nothing had happened: "I'm hungry."
Yu Lingye chuckled: "There are dumplings, would you like some?"
"I want the one stuffed with leeks, pork and shrimp." Xie Yingmian said.
"Fufeng will bring it over in a moment." Yu Lingye said, "Let's go together."
"You are not allowed to eat!" Xie Yingmian said in a very fierce tone.
If she doesn't eat leeks and replenish her yang, she will be tortured to death.
If I eat leeks again, what will happen to me at night?
Yu Lingye: "I like beef filling."
Xie Yingmian: "You eat the vegetarian stuffing."
Yu Lingye: "Then I'll have the chive and egg filling."
Xie Yingmian: I was careless.
"Eat your ground beef."
Yu Lingye laughed a little too much.
After eating and drinking.
The edema that had accumulated overnight also dissipated a lot.
Xie Yingmian looked at the sky and asked Yu Lingye, "Are you free?"
"Where are you going?"
"Zhuangzi, come on."
"If we leave now, it will be dark by the time we get there."
Xie Yingmian smiled grimly: "It's best to dig graves after dark."
Yu Lingye:?
"I put all the nanny's belongings in her coffin. If we want to find them, the only way is to dig up her grave," said Xie Yingmian.
Yu Lingye: "Why do you have to dig at night?"
Can’t dig during the day?
Xie Yingmian said seriously, "Digging graves at night is more interesting."
Xie Yingmian was joking, of course.
She didn't want to dig a grave in the middle of the night.
Zhuangzi is not very close to Shangjing City.
If we set out early tomorrow morning, we won't arrive there until dark.
Wait until the next day to dig the grave.
After the grave digging is completed, the people in the village may need to be interrogated.
It takes three days to go there and back.
So, she planned to leave in the afternoon, arrive late at night, dig graves early the next morning, and then rush back in the afternoon.
This saves the day.
Yu Lingye didn't know what Xie Yingmian was thinking.
If they knew, they would have to complain that he was not that busy. As long as he did not leave the capital, the emperor would not do anything to him.
That night.
Their carriage arrived near the village.
There is a town near Zhuangzi, and there is only one inn in the town.
There weren't many outsiders in town, so the inn was almost empty.
Xie Yingmian and his group booked all the No. 1 rooms.
The weather is gloomy and there is a slight drizzle.
Xie Yingmian looked at the sky, then turned to Yu Lingye and said, "It looks like it's going to rain."
"Want to go dancing on the grave?"
Yu Lingye: “No.”
Xie Yingmian raised an eyebrow: "I can't tell, you are afraid of ghosts, don't be afraid, if there really is a ghost, I will protect you."
Yu Lingye: "Stop being so joking."
"It's still a while before dawn, get some sleep."
Xie Yingmian stared into Yu Lingye's eyes.
Yu Lingye was speechless: "Don't worry, just sleep."
Xie Yingmian: "I don't believe you. I'll go sleep next door."
Yu Lingye: ...
Xie Yingmian really went next door.
Without Yu Lingye disturbing her, she slept very deeply.
Appropriate sleeping in separate beds for couples does help their health.
After breakfast.
Xie Yingmian found the wet nurse's grave according to the original owner's memory.
After the original owner was taken back to the Xie family, no one took care of the wet nurse's grave.
In just over a year, the grave was already covered with green grass.
After Xie Yingmian offered sacrifices on behalf of the original owner, she started to talk about digging the grave.
"I just want to clarify some things. I'm not digging for no reason. Once I get the things, I will set up a longevity tablet for you at Huangyun Temple. Enjoy incense and offerings, and let you live a prosperous, peaceful and happy life in the next life."
"If you don't answer, I'll take it as your consent."
"Fufeng, Zangsong, come and dig."
Fufeng and Zangsong worked together and quickly dug up the coffin.
There was only a thin coffin.
The thin coffin was prepared by the wet nurse for herself early in the morning.
After being buried underground for so many years, the thin coffin has decayed.
With just a slight shovel, a large piece of wood was rotten.
Fufeng is close to the coffin.
He dug down with a shovel and dug up a large piece of the coffin.
After looking through the hole, Fu Feng's expression changed slightly.
"My Lord and Princess, there's something wrong with this coffin."
"Zang Song, please stand away. I will open the coffin lid."
Fu Feng slapped the coffin lid open with one palm.
He only moved closer after making sure there was no danger in the coffin.
"There's no body in the coffin," Fu Feng said. "It's empty."
Xie Yingmian went over to take a look.
There was indeed nothing inside.
Not only were there no bones, but there was also no peculiar stench of decay in the coffin.
Generally speaking, when a corpse decays in a coffin, even if the corpse turns into bones, the coffin will still contain the lingering smell of the decaying corpse.
This means that there may never have been a body in the coffin.
The wet nurse's remains were collected by the original owner, who actually placed the wet nurse's body in the coffin.
The original owner also watched with his own eyes as the coffin was sealed and the burial took place.
The original owner had no medical skills and was unable to find out whether the wet nurse was really dead or faking her death.
If she was really dead, her body would have been stolen shortly after she was buried.
If the death was faked, the wet nurse would secretly leave not long after the burial.
Regardless of the former or the latter, the relics put in by the original owner are most likely gone.
Fu Feng picked up the broken wood in the coffin and indeed did not see any burial objects.
Xie Yingmian sighed, "Looks like this trip is going to be in vain."
"No, there is something next to the coffin." Yu Lingye pointed to a location.
It would be better to say it was inside the coffin rather than next to it.
A small black box appeared in the rotten coffin.
The small box is not big, about the size of a palm.
The coffin nearby was completely rotten, but the small box was intact, just a little dirty.
Fu Feng dug out the small box, wiped it clean, and opened the box.
"careful!"
