Chapter 210: Digging a Grave
"Hey, Brother Wang, what are you doing?!"
Qian Ping'an was a little anxious, but before he could catch the cat, Wang Shi threw it away without a trace.
Qian Ping'an's chest suddenly tightened, and he felt a dull pain in his heart. He didn't know why, but it was as if Wang Shi had thrown something very important away.
"Why are you asking me?"
Wang Shi's expression showed a bit of impatience. They were busy looking for a new grave, but Qian Ping'an was here entangled with a wild cat.
He pressed his eyebrows irritably and couldn't help but raise his voice a bit, "Qian Ping'an, we don't have much time. If you keep being pestered by that cat, how long will it take us to go?"
"It's already midnight. If we delay any longer, it will be dawn soon."
Qian Pingan also knew that what Wang Shi said made some sense, but...
He showed a look of pity and regret, pressed his still suffocating chest, and forced down the uncomfortable feeling.
But he still couldn't help sighing, "Ah, it's just a cat, it looks skinny and pitiful. I want to take it home and raise it."
This new grave can be found at any time. It is rare to see a wild cat that is this thin.
"Brother Wang, you should discuss this with me next time. You should know that I like cats very much."
Wang Shi glanced at him, genuinely confused as to why this guy was so kind to stray cats. He nudged his arm and said, "Alright, alright, the important thing is to get going. There are so many stray cats out there. If you want to take every one you see home, can you really save them all?"
"Let's take care of our own affairs first, and then we can worry about cats and dogs. We haven't finished our own affairs yet."
No new grave was found, and no female ghost was seen.
"We can't work all night, come back with nothing, and just take a stray cat with us, can we?"
What a joke. If he wanted to catch a wild cat, would he have to go through so much trouble and go up the mountain to catch it?
Qian Ping'an felt a little uncomfortable, but after all, what Wang Shi said was not wrong.
He pressed his eyebrows, nodded in compromise, and said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll listen to you."
"But we have to hurry. Whether we can find a new grave tonight and lure out the big ghost is secondary. It would be really frustrating if we ended up feeding the wolves for no reason."
Qian Ping'an put aside the incident of the cat blocking the road and began to urge Wang Shi anxiously.
Wang Shi gave him a look, signaling him not to worry. "Your worries are totally unnecessary. It's so cold, how could there be any wild wolves? In these extremely quiet mountains, I think even a wild ghost would have a hard time, let alone a wild wolf."
At this point, Wang Shi slapped his mouth again, "Pfft, pfft, what are you talking about? Didn't we go up the mountain this time just to look for ghosts?"
How can you say there isn't even a single wild ghost?
The two brothers held lanterns and began to search aimlessly for a new grave all over the mountains and fields without giving up.
There were many tricky places on the mountain, and there was no road originally. But after walking for a long time, the two of them actually made a path.
Originally, it was difficult to find a new grave on this mountain.
There was no way to resist the stubbornness of these two people, who were determined to run into the mountains.
To put it bluntly, when the country was destroyed and the family was ruined, the place where the enemy army couldn't find it was found by these two people!
The lonely grave that even ghosts couldn't find was also found by the two of them.
The servant boy held the lantern in his hand and closed his eyes resignedly.
His heart finally died.
Who would have thought that these two Fire Ancestors could actually find a new grave!
only……
The book boy frowned. On the new grave stood circles and circles of red paper figures. All of those paper figures had eyes dotted on them, and they were like guardians, protecting the entire new grave.
But these paper figures all held chains in their hands.
I don't know whether he is protecting the owner of the new grave.
Still want to lock something.
But seeing the yellow talismans stuck on the surrounding trees, the servant boy inexplicably felt that this place was very creepy. He shuddered, "Two... two gentlemen, don't you think this place is very strange?"
Whose new grave is built like this?!
It’s so weird and creepy!
Wang Shi rolled his eyes. An ant crawled up and landed on his neck. He slapped it to death. He slapped the ant's body to the ground in frustration and looked at the servant boy again. "If you really don't want to use your mouth anymore, just cut off your own tongue."
"Brother Qian, how did your family choose your servant? Why does this servant have so many words?"
This servant talks so much that it makes people angry.
Qian Ping'an also felt annoyed. He glanced around. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely find the layout of this place very creepy.
The willow tree circled around the new grave, as if wrapping it tightly. He had never seen anyone's grave built next to a willow tree. Wasn't this obviously offensive?
It would be fine if it was built next to the willow trees, but why are there so many yellow talismans pasted on every tree?
Qian Ping'an shook his head. He knew that his servant was timid, and he had gotten used to it over the years. He gave Wang Shi a helpless look and said, "This guy is just like that. He can't change."
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh at me, brother. Please forgive me and don't bother with a slave."
"But this place is indeed very strange. It's no exaggeration to say it's creepy."
Wang Shi immediately looked at Qian Pingan with vigilance, "Are you thinking of leaving too?"
"How can that be possible?" Qian Pingan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I'm afraid, but isn't the purpose of our coming here to dig up this new grave and then lie down in the coffin?"
Although this grave looks creepy and scary, what does it matter?
Isn't it scary and horrible that we want?
If this were just an ordinary new grave, it probably wouldn't attract any big ghosts!
Qian Pingan smiled and said, "Brother Wang, I think the two of us will be very successful. Maybe one day we can both become emperors."
Wang Shi rolled his eyes. This kid was really dreaming. "With our background, in these troubled times, if we could even become a noble in the world, we'd be incredibly lucky. How could you dream of becoming an emperor?"
This kid really dares to say anything funny, not afraid that it will get to the ears of the royal family and they will order his entire clan to be killed.
Qian Pingan didn't care. "There's no need to hide anything when talking to Brother Wang. Besides, if we can really attract that big ghost, why would we care about these things?"
"There's a saying, 'Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers all born with a certain kind of talent?' Since we're going to dream, why not dream something bigger? Besides, if we can really summon that thing, then this probably won't be a dream anymore."
Qian Pingan was nonchalant as he removed the annoying paper figures standing in front of the grave one by one. "I don't know what these are and why they are standing here."
Wang Shi spread out his hands, also unable to understand, and quickly joined the grave-digging team. Fortunately, before going up the mountain, the two of them went to someone else's shop, spent a lot of money to wake up the boss who had already fallen asleep, and bought grave-digging tools. Otherwise, if they had to dig with bare hands, it would take a long time.
Wang Shi and Qian Ping'an widened their eyes, became more and more excited as they dug, and dug faster and faster.
Seeing the servant boy standing there motionless, Qian Pingan couldn't help but kick him, "What are you still standing there for? Come with us!"
The servant closed his eyes helplessly and had no choice but to join this absurd action.
After about an hour or two, the two men finally finished digging the grave.
The coffin was pushed open with force, and when they saw the scene inside the coffin, their eyes widened.
"this……"
