Chapter 13 It’s time to steal fragrance and jade

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Now that Shui Ling'er has warned in advance, we can start to prevent and deal with the retaliation against Liu Yingshun and his son in advance. The first thing to do about this is to get through Yan Xiu and Yan Qianshi's ancestors and grandchildren.

What Chen Chang fears most is that Yan Xiu, an old scholar, will try to reason with other people when the time comes. Little does he know that truth is for gentlemen and is useless in front of villains.

Chen Chang's original sense of direction was not very strong, but he had already walked this road three times, and he found no obstacles when walking back to the west of the village along the original road.

As the night gets deeper and deeper, when the moon shines brightly, I can still vaguely discern the path, but later I feel sad that the clouds cover the moon, and the vast wilderness becomes dark, and I don’t know the depth under my feet.

His current body is usually delicate and delicate, so why would he often walk on this country road? He was only recovering from an illness, and he was even weaker than usual. He couldn't help but sneeze.

In a village in Nuoda, there were no lights, no sound of people or dogs barking, and there were many side roads in the village. After walking nearly half the distance, I saw a large locust tree with a crooked neck. I was very fond of singing about this tree.

Impressively, you can return to the Yan family in just one stick of incense walking westward from here.

However, what he didn't expect was that Chen Chang took the wrong path while walking.

Even though he was quite courageous, he became more and more frightened as he walked in a completely unfamiliar environment. The wind gradually picked up, and there was a roaring sound in front of him. He vaguely saw a long object in front of him being blown by the wind, and slowly floating up.

After a while, it fell gently, which was very strange. The clattering sound came from this thing.

Taking advantage of the dim night light, I had the courage to take a closer look, and found that there was a large area of ​​tombs dotted in front of me, with grass growing in the middle. Many of the tombs had collapsed to reveal large holes, and even only half of them were left, which was shocking and desolate.
There were a few traces of phosphorescent will-o'-the-wisps faintly visible between the tombs, making it even more eerie and terrifying. The fluttering object was a soul-calling flag rising and falling with the gusts of wind on one of the tombs. Chen Chang was so frightened that he was still sweating.

Cold sweat breaks out again.

"It won't be so unlucky, right?" Chen Chang said to himself.

Just when his eyes were about to close, a light black shadow floated gently between the two barren tombs, not even a trace of surprise.

Ghost?

This was the first and only word that came to Chen Chang's mind after he saw the black shadow, and a chill immediately ran down his spine.

Although I have always scorned the theory of ghosts and gods. But after all, people still have a certain fear of things they don't understand, especially when those things appear alive in front of their eyes.

Chen Chang couldn't help but take a few steps back, crouched down and hid behind a thick elm tree. He looked up at the sky. The stars were dim and dull, and he couldn't tell the direction.

Just as he was about to pull away, he suddenly heard someone coughing where the black shadow appeared. He was worried and said in shock: "It doesn't seem to be a ghost. Could it be that a bad person is hiding? I wonder if he has discovered me. If so,

If you leave rashly, it would be bad if that person catches up with you."

While he was hesitating, there was another coughing sound close to him. The hairs all over Chen Chang's body stood up. He ran away without thinking. As he was running, he found that the coughing sound was coming from above his head. He was most afraid of raising his eyes.

I saw something that looked like a hanging ghost, and I was so frightened that I was terrified.

At this moment, I heard a voice coming from far away from the tomb behind me: "Damn, this old man croaks when he works. It's so damn unlucky."

Another person teased: "Confucius, this is what we do for a living, digging graves. Do you still want to find a few fans to accompany you and play and sing for you?"

When Chen Chang heard the conversation between the two, he stood up suddenly and looked up at the tree. He saw that there seemed to be a bird's nest among the dark branches and leaves. It turned out that an old bird was gnashing its teeth on it. The sound was like a human coughing. He panicked.

It’s hard to tell whether this is true or false.

It turned out that they were local masters. Chen Chang heard that one of them was probably named Kong, but he did something that was extremely detrimental to his moral character, which was quite funny.

At that time, wars were raging in the world. Hou Jing, the surrendered general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, colluded with Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe, to rebel, and supported the crowd to patrol. The Liang Dynasty's millions of troops were defeated in one day, and the Western Wei Dynasty marched straight in, killing civilians like cutting grass and destroying trees.<

/p>

Chen Baxian took advantage of the situation and finally usurped the Liang Dynasty to establish itself on his own, which made Liang Juetong and the imperial spirit in Jiangnan area come to an end after three hundred years.

Natural and man-made disasters have devastated all life, the country has been devastated, and the people have been displaced. In many places, there are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, and bones are exposed in the wild. There are countless barren hills and graves like these in front of us, and the court cannot even take care of the living people, let alone the dead.

, so the trend of digging graves is becoming more and more popular.

Chen Chang made a false apology, and his heart dropped again in his stomach. He wiped his hands in cold sweat. The two people obviously didn't notice him. It was obvious that they could not continue walking on the road ahead and could only walk along the original path.

Road back.

The moonlight was slightly exposed and the light was hazy. Now that he understood the situation, Chen Chang felt a little brighter. He plucked up his courage and tried to leave quickly.

But after he walked a few steps, he heard someone say: "Confucius, tell me, we are all human beings, and we have to deal with this dirty and smelly corpse. Look at those bandits again, tonight

After the bloodbath of Yangjiadu, there will inevitably be another robbery, which will make you full..."

The tomb robber named Confucius hummed: "If you are envious, go kill me and take me as a surrender to the bandits. Anyway, I would rather deal with dead people than kill people and set fires! Hey, I said,

Don’t fucking stop, get to work quickly and take your things away before the bandits come at midnight!"

Chen Chang took a breath after hearing this. During the conversation between the two people, he accidentally revealed the news that bandits were about to massacre Yangjiadu. If he said this, it was worth getting lost this time. Regardless of whether the news was true or false, he

Villagers are reminded to take precautions early.

With this thought in mind, I was afraid of wasting time and did not dare to stay, so I ran backwards without any depth.

The clothes on his body were too bulky and made it difficult to move around. He simply tore off strips of cloth and tied the cuffs of his trousers and cuffs. He secretly made up his mind that when he stabilized in the future, he would get some clothes that fit him well.

There was no stopping along the way, and I didn’t know how many times I fell down. Fortunately, it was the same road I had walked just once, and I didn’t get lost again. When I arrived at the gate of Liu Yingshun’s house, I was soaked as if I had been soaked in water.

His face was so pure that he might not even be able to recognize himself.

Although there were all kinds of discord with the Liu family, Chen Chang decided to inform Liu Yingshun about the matter first because it was related to the lives of the people of the Yang family.

Chen Chang raised his fist and was about to knock on the door when he suddenly thought that Liu Yingshun would not believe him for coming over so rashly to report the message, so he lowered the hand he had raised just now.

If he asked me where the news came from, I couldn't say it was from the tomb robber. What if I asked the tomb robber to confront him?

I'm afraid even he himself doesn't believe this statement.

On the one hand, there is a critical juncture where Yangjiadu may be massacred. On the other hand, there is an unexplainable source of information. Chen Chang was caught in a dilemma for a while.

At this moment, a woman's gentle coughing sound suddenly came from the distance. The sound should be a low and simple thatched hut in the northwest corner of the distance.

During the day, he roughly observed the layout of the place from a distance. He frowned and realized that the sound seemed to come from Shui Ling'er. Could it be that she lived in that dilapidated hut?

The girl is a sensible person with a good heart. If she had told her the news first, she might be able to persuade Liu Yingshun to inform the people in the village to take precautions.

The night was dark, the sky and the earth were all blue and black, and not even the shadow of the moon could be seen in the sky.

Although the courtyard wall is not high, with Chen Chang's height, he cannot reach the top of the wall even if he raises his arms.

He walked around the courtyard wall and found an old elm tree just outside the northwest corner of the wall with slanting branches that could be climbed up. He couldn't help but think awkwardly: "Are you ready with all the tools for stealing incense and jade?"<

/p>

The next moment, he arranged his clothes, climbed the trunk of the elm tree, stepped on the branches as thick as his arms, and climbed to the top of the wall in two or three steps.

I leaned on the wall and observed for a while, and saw that there was nothing strange, then I slowly jumped down holding the branch.

"Zila..."

The large robe actually hung on the branch at the critical moment. Under the influence of gravity, the robe on the back was torn open, and the person fell heavily to the ground, and he was suddenly hit with stars in his eyes.<

/p>

The lights in the yard were turned off, and the Liu family was probably fast asleep.

Chen Chang struggled to get up from the ground, staggeringly sliding along the wall, using flowers and trees as cover, and walked to the small thatched hut.

Knocking gently on the door, there was no movement inside. Chen Chang was a little surprised. Even the slight cough he heard outside the courtyard wall disappeared.

"Girl, girl..."

After running wildly for a while, my voice had changed a little, but there was still no answer.

The matter was urgent, and he didn't have to think too much. Chen Chang pushed hard with both hands, and the door opened in response, and the room was dark.

He raised his feet and stepped inside. As soon as he entered the house, he heard the strong wind behind his head. He was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed his head and shrank his head, but still did not hide away. There was a bang in his ears and a sudden burst of wind above his head.

It hurts, and the person falls forward, and no one knows what happened.

After waking up, he opened his eyes and saw a beautiful figure standing fighting with a door bolt in his hand. He heard Shui Ling'er's trembling voice scolding: "You are a pervert, you broke into a house in the middle of the night. What bad intentions do you have? Wait till dawn.

I’ll take you to court!”

Chen sang: "I...I..." He felt a splitting headache. Suddenly, his right eye became wet and greasy, and he could not open it. He smelled the smell of blood in his nose, and realized that he had just been struck by the bolt.

Broken blood flow.

Seeing him about to get up, Shui Ling'er swung the door bolt and shouted, "Don't move, I won't be polite if you move again." With a cry, another bolt hit his shoulder.

Chen sang "Ah" and jumped up.

Shui Ling'er was shocked and swung the door bolt across, robbing his foot bones.

Chen Chang dodged sideways and reached out to grab the door latch.

Shui Ling'er's face changed drastically and she shouted: "Don't come over, don't come over..."

In a panic, he picked up the door bolt and slammed it towards his top door. Chen Chang was so frightened that he suddenly changed his color and hurriedly moved to the left. Unexpectedly, the door bolt was so heavy that Shui Ling'er couldn't hold it. He almost wanted to let go, and the wind roared.

It flew towards Chen Chang's face in a daze.

Even though Chen Chang dodged in a hurry, he was still hit hard on the right shoulder with a bang.

Stars flashed in front of Chen Chang's eyes, he staggered a few steps, and shouted urgently: "Girl, stop fighting, stop fighting, it's me...it's me...I'm Chen Chang..."

Although the voice sounded familiar to Shui Ling'er, she was still in shock, clutching the door latch and gasping for breath.
