Jiang Si looked down at the shovel in his hand, then he suddenly realized.
It turns out that this was not a shovel that the gardener lazily placed at the base of the wall, but was used by two servants to bury corpses at any time!
No wonder the spade is so strong...
This thought flashed through Jiang Si's mind, and he knew he couldn't wait any longer.
No one is a fool. What these two boys did was against the law of nature. They would be nervous no matter what. The sudden loss of a shovel would definitely arouse their vigilance.
Her hiding place was not only hidden, but it couldn't even completely conceal her figure. She was just relying on the convenience of the night.
If the two servants went back and looked for her casually, they would find her. If she tried to get away then, she would inevitably cause a stir.
Tonight's harvest was great, and Jiang Shiduan didn't want to see this happen again.
At the critical moment, Jiang Si turned his right hand upwards, calmed his mind, and saw a faint light emerging from the palm of his hand. Soon, the lingering light of Ning'er left his palm and flew quickly towards the two servants.
At first glance, the faint light that flew away was just like the fireflies that people often see, but it was much dimmer than that of fireflies.
Jiang Si didn't expect to use this so soon.
This thing is called Huanying. It is made by mixing the powder of white horn grass and various herbal powders in a very fine ratio, and then igniting it with beef tallow to attract it. After being fed with human blood, it can lurk in the human body and be driven by the person.
Phantom flies have no killing power, but they can cause hallucinations in people. Of course, they can not cause hallucinations successfully in all situations.
For example, when a person is calm, it is difficult for an illusion to sneak in.
Jiang Sisi was not worried about the situation at all. If a person's psychology was flawless when committing murder or arson, then he was not a human being but a ghost.
Although the phantom insect is strange, it is actually a kind of insect, which is called "蠱" in the Wu Miao tribe.
Jiang Si is reluctant to call insects "guinea pigs" because they always make people feel mysterious or even sinister. But they are obviously cute and beautiful insects. She raises insects, which is no different from other people raising cats and dogs.
The phantom firefly flew to the two servants, entered their left ears and exited their right ears, and finally returned to Jiang Si's palm, and the faint light disappeared without a trace.
This process is so quick that it can be said to be completed quietly in an instant.
"Did I forget to put it back the last time I used it, and it fell into the flowers?" An Zi wondered.
Lu Zi frowned as he held the shovel in his hand. "No, I clearly remembered to put it there. It couldn't have fallen into the flowers."
"What's going on?"
"Did someone touch it?" Lu Zi's tone suddenly became tense.
"No, at the beginning the gardener cleaned it up once and we scolded him, and he never dared to do it again."
"What if it's someone else?" Lu Zi said faintly.
An Zi was startled: "Brother Lu Zi, please don't scare me."
They were not nervous about burying the body in the dark and windy night because they were familiar with it, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be nervous if someone found out.
Lu Zi suddenly turned around, not knowing what he was thinking of.
Anzi turned around subconsciously.
A woman stood in front of the two men.
The woman had disheveled hair and a blue face. In the moonlight, one could clearly see traces of blood under her tattered clothes. She was holding a shovel in her hand.
The two of them turned their heads slowly with stiff necks and looked at each other, and they saw suffocating fear in each other's eyes.
"Ghost, ghost!" An Zi screamed, but he was so frightened that the scream was stuck in his throat. Only a howling sound came out, and he ran away.
Lu Zi's performance was not much better than An Zi's. He fell heavily after running a few steps. He hurriedly got up and did not even dare to look back, desperately chasing after An Zi.
Seeing that the two of them had disappeared, Jiang Si came out.
She didn't know what the two saw, but she could guess that they saw the female corpse.
This is actually very easy to guess. Phantoms can cause hallucinations in people, but the hallucinations are not random. Instead, they are triggered by the person's most intense emotions at the time, whether it is great joy, great sorrow, great fear, etc.
The two servants were discussing where the missing shovel had gone. In fact, they had already subconsciously included speculation about the female corpse. The role of the illusion was only to infinitely magnify this most absurd speculation in a specific situation.
So when they turned around, they saw the female corpse holding the shovel.
Jiang Si walked to the female corpse with a shovel and squatted down.
Even though it was dark at night, the pungent smell of blood could not be concealed.
Jiang Si took a deep breath and lifted the bed sheet covering the female corpse.
She wanted to see what the female corpse looked like.
The last person buried here should be the daughter of the woman who was seeking death whom she met by chance when she went to Liudi. Jiang Si didn't think it was a coincidence that she knew the identity of that poor girl.
She would rather believe that this is God's will and that nothing can escape it.
Perhaps she could find clues about her identity from the corpse.
Jiang Si knew that he had to act quickly. The two people who had just been scared away by the illusion would surely come back after they recovered.
There is a female corpse lying here. No matter how scared they are, they will come back and bury the body. Otherwise, if the female corpse is discovered in the morning, they will be in trouble.
The bloodstained bed sheet was lifted, revealing the face of the female corpse.
The face of the female corpse was clean, but her eyes were wide open, as if she died with her eyes open.
It was a very pretty face, yet too young, looking no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.
Jiang Si felt a pain in his heart and almost bit his lower lip until it bled.
This is obviously just a child, how could that beast have the heart to do that to him!
She ignored the tremendous rage that was violently attacking her heart and quickly searched for clues on the female corpse.
A small gold pouch was hung on the female corpse's neck, where her collarbone was exposed.
Jiang Si pulled the purse off without hesitation and stuffed it into his purse, then continued his inspection.
The corpse's top was torn to pieces, leaving only a skirt underneath. It was obvious that the skirt was hastily put on. I'm afraid it was originally -
Jiang Si couldn't bear to think any further, and after gaining nothing else, he stuffed the shovel into the open right palm of the female corpse.
Since the two servants will come back, let's scare them again. When they see the female corpse lying quietly with a shovel in her hand, they will no longer be able to comfort themselves that it was an illusion.
Suspicion breeds evil. After this night, the two servants will probably have trouble sleeping every night.
Jiang Si pulled the bed sheet over the female corpse. His eyes inadvertently swept across the left hand of the female corpse and he paused.
The corpse's right hand was stretched out powerlessly, but her left hand was clenched tightly, as if holding something.
Jiang Si's heart moved, and he quickly grabbed the female corpse's left hand.
The poor girl had obviously died not long ago, as her hands were still soft. Jiang Si easily opened her clenched hands and saw what the girl was holding in her palms.
