Chapter 388 An Incident Occurs in the Village Cemetery
Liu Cuilan didn't believe it at all. The third daughter was a little smart, but it was impossible for her to sell all the things before they were even released.
That’s three thousand units, not just three or five.
He must have lied to her to reassure her.
As if she could see what she was thinking, Su Xiaoxiao said, "Mom, I didn't lie to you. I only have a dozen or so left now, but you can't tell anyone about this."
After all, she went on this business trip at public expense under the pretext of selling these wall clocks.
The clocks have all been cleared, so why is she still going on a errand?
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's confident look, Liu Cuilan couldn't help but reach out and touch Su Xiaoxiao's forehead, muttering softly: "She doesn't even have a fever, why is she talking nonsense?"
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
"Don't worry, Mom, I can really do it. When has your daughter ever lied since she was little?"
Seeing that her third daughter didn't seem to be lying, Liu Cuilan felt a little relieved.
Indeed, although this child has been a bit tough since childhood, he has never told a lie.
Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward and hugged her mother's arm: "Mom, I'll bring you a gift when I come back."
Liu Cuilan poked her forehead and said, "It doesn't matter whether you bring the gift or not, but be sure to be careful on the way and don't let anyone sell you."
"Don't worry, Mom. Don't you see who I am, your daughter? I'm the only one who sold others out."
Su Fusheng came up to her with a licked face and said, "Third sister, hurry up and try on the clothes and scarf that my brother and I brought you. You will look great in them."
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
She said tactfully, "Second brother, I'm a manager now. Wearing something so pink doesn't look very impressive. Can you ask my eldest brother to buy me something black or blue next time? It's more stable."
"Why are you, a little girl, dressed so dull? Who says leaders can't dress nicely?"
Su Wenbing nodded in agreement.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
Forget it, her two brothers' straight male aesthetic is simply pathological. I really feel sorry for their future sister-in-law.
I don’t know whether my two future sisters-in-law can share the same aesthetic standards as my mother.
The family had dinner early and prepared to go to bed, but they didn't expect that just after washing up and climbing onto the kang, they heard a burst of "woof woof woof" barking of dogs outside.
Su Xiaoxiao immediately became alert. The dogs in the village were barking like this late at night, so something must have happened outside.
Eldest brother Su Wenbing and Su Fusheng also heard the noise and got up.
As soon as I got up, I heard knocks on the door.
The rapid knocking on the door mixed with the barking of dogs seemed particularly creepy in the silent night.
The two brothers looked at each other and were hesitating whether to open the door when Liu Cuilan came out of the room wearing a coat.
She raised her voice and shouted outside the door: "Who is it?"
Aunt Chen's voice came from outside: "Cui Lan, hurry up, there's something wrong with the cemetery in our village. Several graves have been dug up. Hurry up and call your Wen Bing and Fu Sheng to go check it out. All the young and old men in the village are rushing there."
Liu Cuilan slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, who is lacking in virtue? Big brother, second brother, you two quickly grab your tools and go check if there is anything wrong with our grave."
Su Wenbing and Su Fusheng also became anxious. They picked up shovels and hoes and rushed out aggressively.
Su Xiaoxiao went over to help close the gate, but her eyelids were twitching non-stop, and she always felt that something was going to happen.
She pressed her left eyelid with her hand and thought, the grave has been dug up, so even if something happens, it can't be a good thing. Why is her left eyelid still twitching?
Sure enough, the belief that the left eyelid twitching means good fortune and the right eyelid twitching means disaster is feudal superstition.
The barking of dogs outside continued, and I could faintly hear the footsteps of many people heading northwest of the village.
A piece of vacant land was marked out in the northwest corner of the village, where the villagers' ancestral graves were buried.
Liu Cuilan sat in the main room waiting for her two sons, and casually chatted with Su Xiaoxiao about the cemetery in the village.
A few years ago, there was a very rich local tycoon in the village.
At that time, it was popular to bury the deceased with burial objects. People thought that if they brought some valuable things with them, they would be able to live comfortably in the afterlife.
Who would have known that the local rich man’s grave was dug up just a few days after he was buried.
The local rich man's body was stripped naked and thrown into a stinking ditch nearby. The burial objects in the coffin and the expensive mahogany coffin were all gone.
The local rich man's family reported the case to the police, but the gang was very secretive at the time and left no evidence, so the case ended up being left unresolved.
Later, it happened to be a special period, and every landlord family was extremely poor. Only rich people could afford ordinary coffins for burial.
Especially during the years of the Great Famine, many people would just roll up a straw mat, hollow it out, and bury it.
Since then, there has been no more trouble with the village’s ancestral graves.
After all, even tomb robbers know that given the conditions in their village, they won’t be able to dig out anything good even if they dig three feet into the ground.
Su Xiaoxiao listened to her mother's story with great interest. She glanced at the time. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening. Why hadn't her two brothers returned yet? Had something happened?
"Third brother, it's getting late. Go to bed quickly. Mom will wait here."
My third daughter has to get up early for work and can’t be late.
Su Xiaoxiao was indeed a little sleepy. Normally, she would have been in a trance by this time.
I have been holding on until today.
My eyelids are fighting each other and I feel like I'm about to fall asleep.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go to bed first. Call me if you need anything."
She yawned and crawled onto the kang, but after lying down she still felt a little uneasy.
I was so sleepy just now, but as soon as I lay down I felt refreshed.
After thinking about it, she opened the game interface and wanted to see what was happening near her home.
At this point, the map range can already cover the entire yard of the neighbor next door.
Su Xiaoxiao first glanced at the door and found nothing was wrong, then she turned her gaze to the west wall of her house.
There was a small forest to the west of her house. Su Xiaoxiao looked carefully but didn't find anything unusual. She yawned and prepared to go to bed.
When I raised my hand to close the interface, I suddenly shuddered.
Not far from her doorstep, there were two sneaky figures carrying something and walking towards the west wall of her house.
It looks like a bulging big sack and looks very heavy.
The two men sneaked into the woods next to her house, bent down and started digging a hole in the ground.
After a while, the pit was dug. The two men worked together to carry the sack in, carefully buried the soil, and then covered it with a layer of hay.
Su Xiaoxiao stared at the location of the pit and memorized its approximate position in her mind.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard again outside the door, and the sound came from far away. Su Xiaoxiao also saw two figures appearing at the door on the game interface.
It seems that the eldest brother and the second brother are back.
At this time, the two sneaky men outside the west wall also noticed the two brothers, who were leaning against the west wall and peeking at the door.
One of them even pulled out a dagger from his waist.
Su Xiaoxiao's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she jumped up from the kang.
