Chapter 59 Marshal, the Madam is Here
"Madam, look, this is the legendary sacred well!"
"Although this well has a large opening, its depth is not as shallow as other large wells."
The young man had already tied the horse to the nearby trees and was now looking into the well.
The water in the well is dark, and shimmers in the moonlight.
However, half of this well was covered with stone slabs by the villagers, leaving only the other half for people to draw water.
The half illuminated by the moonlight is the half that is exposed.
"Adjutant Yang, you and Xiao Qingzi, find a way to remove this stone slab."
Lin Wanwan also stuck her head out to take a look. If she didn't only know that there was a corpse at the bottom of the well, she would also think that this well was good.
But now, precisely because I know what's inside, I have no interest in the water from this well.
"Madam, why do we need to lift this slab?"
Before Adjutant Yang could say anything, the young man couldn't help but ask.
"There's something in here, I want to take it out!"
"I was also entrusted with this task. Stop asking questions and get to work!"
The stone slab pressing on the wellhead was very heavy. Even though Adjutant Yang and the young man used all their strength, they could not push it away.
In the end, it was Zhang Hansheng and Lin Wanwan who worked together to successfully overturn the stone slab.
When the entire well was exposed, Lin Wanwan felt a hint of warmth coming out from the bottom of the well.
"Who among you is good at swimming?"
She looked at the three people beside her. Since they had brought people with them, she couldn't go into the water by herself.
"Ma'am, I'm a pretty good swimmer. I wonder what you're trying to catch?"
Adjutant Yang tugged at his collar and looked at the big well in front of him.
The well is so big that even two grown men can go down at the same time without any problem.
I just don’t know what the Marshal’s wife is going to do?
"I was asked to retrieve a skeleton from inside and bury it properly."
"Before, because my own survival was a problem, I never came to fulfill my friend's last wish."
"I just remembered this matter today and rushed over overnight!"
When he heard that there was a skeleton at the bottom of the well, the young man's face suddenly turned pale.
Originally, he wanted to go down with Deputy Director Yang, but when he heard that it was a skeleton, he immediately took two steps back.
"Look at you, you coward! How many people have we soldiers killed while marching and fighting? It's not like we haven't seen corpses before!"
Adjutant Yang rolled his eyes immediately when he saw his men acting so cowardly.
This was the first time that Lin Wanwan saw the serious and rigid Deputy Director Yang make such an expression.
"You won't work for nothing. After we fish out the body and bury it, everyone who contributed will be rewarded with a small yellow croaker."
Lin Wanwan was not short of money anyway, and she immediately had the box of gold bars as a reward. After deducting the half she gave to Zhang Hansheng, she still had half left for herself.
After all, they have to do the hard work, so giving some to their subordinates will make them more motivated to work.
"There's still money to be made. Madam, please tell me earlier that you should let me do this job."
"Among us, I'm the youngest, strongest, and most powerful. Adjutant, take a rest. I'll go down and retrieve the body."
As the young man said this, he took off his coat, then took off his shoes and pants and threw them aside.
Finally, he put on a pair of big shorts and jumped into the well.
"Xiao Qingzi, no wonder Xiao Cui calls you a greenhorn. You are such a reckless man."
Adjutant Yang didn't care that the young man stole his credit, he just thought that the boy was too rash.
If this happened on the battlefield, he would eventually suffer a loss.
“Crash!”
"Ma'am, I found it! But I don't know how long the body has been soaking in the well. Now only bones are left."
"Just wait a moment, I'll get all the bones out quickly."
As the young man said this, he dived into the water again.
Soon, human bones were thrown out of the well. Lin Wanwan didn't expect that this willow-haired girl didn't even leave a complete body.
But it doesn't matter. As long as she can fish out the corpse, she will have completed her mission.
When the time comes, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to bury it, and then you can get a box of gold. Wouldn’t that be great?
The young man worked for more than an hour before he salvaged all the bones.
When he came out of the water again, he couldn't help but run to the side and vomit violently.
It seems that he choked on water a lot during the salvage process.
"Luckily I didn't go down. It seems that not everyone can catch this little yellow croaker!"
Adjutant Yang stood aside, gloating seriously.
"Adjutant, you'd better get him to put on his clothes quickly. It's so cold, and he's been soaking in the well for an hour. This little yellow croaker deserves it!"
Lin Wanwan was worried that this person would catch a cold after soaking in the well for so long.
If the young man hadn't said it, even though the weather outside was still very cold, the water in the well was warm.
So he didn't feel very cold in the well.
Anyway, Lin Wanwan couldn't understand the principle behind this. Anyway, when she saw the young man just coming out, he was still smoking.
I guess what he said must be true!
"Madam, don't worry. That boy is not stupid. I will collect these bones together first."
Seeing that the young man was vomiting uncontrollably, Adjutant Yang picked up an autumn coat he was wearing from the ground.
Then he picked up all the bones and wrapped them in his autumn clothes.
"Ma'am, where are we going next?"
Since Lin Wanwan has found what she came here for, Adjutant Yang doesn't want to stay by the well any longer.
Unexpectedly, there was such a thing soaking in the magical well that was said to be miraculous by the outside world.
The bones are so clean, it must have taken decades to get to this state.
I don’t know who the lady’s friend is. Since he knew there was a body in the well, why didn’t he say it earlier?
Deputy Director Yang did not intend to publicize this matter. After all, there were still many people living in Liushu Village.
Even though Liushu Village has declined and the sacred well is no longer as famous as it used to be, this well is still used every day.
Once the news that there are corpses soaking in here spreads, it will probably cause panic among the people.
"Just find a beautiful place with clear water and mountains and bury these bones."
"I think that hill over there is nice. Let's go there."
Lin Wanwan took a quick look and found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, not far from the well.
They led the horses and walked towards that direction for a long time. It seemed very close at first, but when they really came here, they found that the path was too narrow and had too many bends.
It finally took 20 minutes to reach the place that Lin Wanwan had previously chosen.
This is a hillside with many people buried next to it. It seems that this is the cemetery of Liushu Village.
Anyway, Liu Maomei's surname is also Liu, so she should be from Liujia Village.
Being buried here can be considered as her returning to her roots!
