The seventh child cried and said, "Mom just said she was going to bury me. Could she be going to the mass grave now?"
Li Shenggen said with a dark face: "Juanhua, you and Cuilan roll the black noodles into soup cakes, and wait until the rabbit is cooked before adding them to the pot. Add more so that everyone can have a full meal today. Chengcai and I will go and take a look."
"Brother, let's go too." The twins Jinbao and Yinbao and their two wives also stood up.
"Okay. We'll just look for an hour. If we can't find anything, we'll just stop looking and come back for dinner!"
Li Shenggen was furious and took his three younger brothers and two sisters-in-law with him. Each of them held a torch and walked towards the mass grave outside the village.
At this time, Wang Yi was wandering in the mass grave, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
It's a real mass grave.
She actually came here.
Because her task was updated when the rabbit was put into the pot.
"Go to the mass grave outside the village and dig three meters. Reward: A set of gold jewelry."
There's no way, I'm poor, I absolutely can't miss this kind of reward.
It sounds like this task is to make money from the dead.
But as long as you have money, you can live. These days, digging up the dead's money is better than being dead!
What does a ghost matter to you in order to survive?
If ghosts were edible, she would pull them out, coat them in batter, and fry them in a pan.
A set of gold jewelry!
If they could sell it and get enough food, they could have a dozen people in their family survive.
It's better than selling your children and eating them.
Who cares about what a skeleton thinks?
At this time, Wang Yi was no longer afraid of the dark or ghosts, and his mind was full of gold.
In this way, one step deep and one step shallow, following the system's map prompts, I arrived at the mass grave.
When the cold wind blew, the eerie wind swirled and drilled into her clothes through the holes.
It’s so cold!
"I'm not afraid!"
Arriving at the mission point, Wang Yi shouted "Hey, Ha" to give himself courage, and began to collect soil into the space by sticking bamboo sticks to the ground.
The big stone was also put away, and the task was completed by 20 centimeters in one go.
The soil below is not easy to dig, but there is space for collection, so it is not difficult.
Soon, she dug a hole three meters deep and one meter wide.
Digging deeper, a piece of white bones was revealed in the moonlight.
It’s really a dead person’s money.
Wang Yi's hands were shaking as he dug away the last bit of soil. Sure enough, he found a gold necklace, gold earrings, and a gold bracelet on the corpse.
Wang Yi was a little excited when she got the heavy gold jewelry, and this excitement overshadowed her fear.
She took one last look at the skeleton, bowed hastily, and muttered tremblingly, "Don't blame me, I'm just trying to live. Please be merciful and forgive me!"
Holding the gold necklaces in his hands, Wang Yi looked back and was a little dumbfounded.
This black hole is three meters high. As I kept digging, I almost buried myself.
At this time, shouts were heard outside.
"Mom! Mom, where are you?"
Wang Yi looked down at his feet and quickly refilled the space with soil and buried the dead body's bones.
She threw the huge rock in first, then stood on top of it as she filled it in layer by layer, until finally, her head was exposed in the pit. However, the new filling soil was too soft, and her feet were still stuck in it.
The firelight flickered. The mass grave was not big to begin with, and the big rock was just on the edge. The four sons and two daughters-in-law saw Wang Yi at a glance, with only his head exposed and his face covered in dust.
Li Shenggen frowned, burning with anger.
"Mom, what are you doing here?"
The sons and daughters-in-law all had wonderful and rich expressions, but Wang Yi was fine.
Anyway, now that you have this gold, you can't eat me up anymore.
Only if you survive can you have a future. What’s the point of having face? Can you treat it as rice?
"Roots, success, gold and silver treasures, look, what mother found!"
Wang Yi brushed the dust off his face, grabbed a handful of golden objects and shook them in the firelight.
"A gold necklace?"
"Your dead father told me in a dream that I could make a fortune from the dead. I kept wanting to come over and take a look, and now I finally found it!" Wang Yi lied with his eyes open. He didn't care whether they believed it or not, as long as he could find an excuse.
Li Chengcai and Meng Cuilan, as expected of a couple, exclaimed in surprise together.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then Li Shenggen and Li Chengcai jumped into the pit and carried Wang Yi out of the pit.
Jinbao and Yinbao were pulling her outside. Although Wang Yi looked as light as a bag of bones, the three-meter-deep pit was filled with loose new soil at the bottom, so it took a lot of effort to push and pull her out.
Everyone was covered in dust and sat by the pit, catching their breath. After they had caught their breath, Li Shenggen took a handful of gold necklaces and threw them at Wang Yi, suddenly looking at her angrily.
"Mom! What on earth do you want to do? Do you really want to dig a hole and bury yourself? If you really want to die, what's the use of these things? How can I explain to Dad if I wait for a hundred years? You believe a dream, what if you die here?"
Then he got up angrily with a torch and went home. The boss was completely annoyed by Wang Yi today.
Wouldn’t he be less angry if I didn’t do it?
Wang Yicai ignored him, brushed off the dust on his body, grabbed the necklace in his hand and stuffed it into Li Chengcai's hand.
"Second brother, go to the county town tomorrow and sell this thing. If it's unlucky, we won't keep it. Exchange it for silver and food, so that our family can survive."
Li Shenggen, who had just walked a short distance, paused and sighed deeply. To Wang Yi's surprise, he actually came back to her side, picked up his skinny body and walked back.
"Mom, you can't blame me for being angry. My brothers and I have gone through so much hardship to raise you until now. I have to take care of your life after all. If you have any problems in the future, can you at least tell me?"
