Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 819 Deadline (4000)

Soon after, a big fire broke out at the entrance of Sanmen Village, and the smell of burnt barbecue wafted in the air.

The Huan army packed up their luggage, took advantage of the night and left the village unhurriedly, heading east all the way.

After walking ten miles in this way, he turned back in a circle and went straight to the Bian Que Cloth Tomb mentioned by the villagers before from another direction.

This is of course to avoid people's eyes and ears.

But it is not worried that the escaped villagers will come back for revenge, nor is it worried that those villagers will go to the nearby government office to report to the officials. In this world, government offices have long been useless, and laws and government orders are a piece of paper. Only those with military power have the right to speak. No one cares about those villagers who killed the merchants in the past, and now that the Huren army has slaughtered the village, no one cares about it.

Therefore, it is only the habit of Wu Liang and Huan Renjun to avoid people's eyes and ears like this. They never act under the gaze of outsiders.

So it's Yin time.

Wu Liang and Huan's army had already camped in a valley, which happened to be separated from Sanmen Village by a small hill, and even closer to Bian Que Yiguan Tomb.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Wu Liang naturally doesn't need to care about the eyes of the villagers anymore, and decides to start a formal excavation of the Bian Que Clothes Tomb, maybe there will be unexpected gains.

However, considering that the people in the Huan army have been tossing all night, they are exhausted at this moment, and they have not come here before to survey the terrain in advance, so it is easy to do nothing if they act rashly at night.

Therefore, the excavation work was not carried out overnight, but to teach everyone to rest well first, and to recharge their energy until dawn before taking any action.

As for the woman and baby who were rescued by the Huan army, they also stayed in the army for the time being.

Now that she is an orphan and widowed mother, even if she is lucky enough to escape from the clutches of the villagers of Sanmen Village, if she cannot find shelter, even if she is not starved to death and exhausted to death, she will soon become the prey of others, and there will be no good end.

Help people to the end.

For the baby's sake, Wu Liang felt that he could take her with him, and arrange her to support herself in Yongqiu when he returned to Chenliu. This might be her best destination.

Of course, it depends on the woman's own thoughts. After all, the baby is actually a villain left by the villagers, or maybe the woman has other destinations.

"Tell me about your situation first."

Calling the woman aside, Wu Liang spoke.

"Returning to your son, the young lady's name is Qiu Lian, and the gentleman is from Quanzhou. Because Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have been at odds in recent years, around this time last year, my husband was worried that the war between the two sides might affect us, so I decided to move to the east of Qingzhou with my family property. Lai defected to his relatives, did not want to go here but encountered an accident, not only the family property he brought was taken away by these people, but even his life was never saved, only the little girl has survived to this day..."

At this point, the woman was sobbing, and she didn't want to look back on the tragic experience of this year.

Wu Liang only needs to know the whole story, and naturally he won't get to the bottom of it, so he waited until the woman's crying became quieter before asking: "Even if you went to Donglai, Qingzhou to join your relatives, can you still contact them now?" Or, if you know how your relatives are doing now, can you go there alone?"

"This……"

The woman suddenly showed embarrassment, and shed tears of self-pity.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to drive you away, but I still have important things to do now. If you want to go to Qingzhou Donglai to join your relatives, I really can't escort you separately. You and us can only part ways here."

Wu Liang said.

"The relatives far away in Donglai are only acquainted with my gentleman. If I go alone, I'm afraid I may not be willing to accept it, let alone..."

The woman looked at the sleeping baby who was being held by Bai Jingjing not far away, with an extremely complicated look in her eyes, before she paused for a moment, she said, "Besides, I don't know how to explain it to them with this baby. "

Obviously, although the woman knew that the child was an evil seed left by the enemy, it was still a piece of flesh that fell from her body, and she still couldn't give it up cruelly.

But if you bring this child, let alone a relative of the gentleman's family, even your own natal family may not be able to accept it.

Hearing this, Wu Liang probably understood the difficulty of the woman, and immediately said: "In this case, are you willing to follow us? I have a safe place to go. After finishing the business here, I can take you back At that time, you will be given a house and land, if you are willing to work hard, the food you get will feed you and this child. "

The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, then knelt down on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed to Wu Liang repeatedly and said, "Thank you son! I am willing to follow you, as long as you give me and the child a way out, I am willing to help you Son do anything!"

This is what many people are looking for in this era - a way to survive.

Common people can't find a way out in the chaos of war.

Some rich peasants with a little property were constantly plundered wantonly by warlords and powerful forces, and sometimes their lives were lost, and they did not know where the way of survival was.

Even the gentry.

The gentry who have been reduced to poor families already live a very poor life and cannot stand any turmoil at all. During the war, a large number of poor families become refugees every day. When the common people starve to death, they can only starve to death together .

As for those famous families.

In fact, they can only raise Zhiluxiang and keep their doors closed. Some gentry clans with enough influence will be recruited by warlords, but this may not be a good thing for them. The whole family rides in...

In short.

In this world, no one can be alone.

No one knows where their "way of survival" is, and everyone can only take one step at a time, praying that they are the ones favored by God.

"Get up."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, and then said, "But before that, you need to pay attention to your words and deeds, no matter what we are doing, you must not see, listen or ask, this is my only request to you. "

"The little girl understands that the little girl is a stone from today on."

The woman quickly responded.

"Well, since that's the case, you and the child should go to rest first."

Wu Liang didn't say anything more to her, and nodded to Bai Jingjing who was beside him, and taught her to make arrangements for Qiu Lian and the child.

"only……"

As a result, the woman stood up, but obviously hesitated for a while, as if she still had something to say to Wu Liang, but she was frightened by what Wu Liang had just warned her, "don't listen, don't listen, don't ask", so she didn't dare to take it easy. Talk nonsense.

"Anything else?"

Wu Liang saw her hesitation, and stopped her to ask again.

"No, it's fine..."

The woman shook her head quickly, but seeing the suspicion in Wu Liang's eyes, she hesitated and said, "To tell you the truth, I was trapped by the village chief's son for a year. They are not afraid of me escaping, and occasionally talk about it. They didn't deliberately avoid me when things happened, so I heard some secret things from them, but I don't know if the young master is willing to listen."

Yo!

Is there any windfall?
Wu Liang was overjoyed, nodded and said, "You speak out boldly."

With Wu Liang's consent, the woman finally said: "First of all, it is the property of Sanmen Village. They have made a lot of money by murdering the former merchants over the years. Except for those that were shared with the villagers, there are also some valuables that have been hidden by the village chief. , buried in the cellar well dug in the yard of his house for emergencies... I saw this by accident, only the village chief knew about it, and now the village chief and his son were burned to death by the young master Ashes, if you don't take these things, you can only bury them there for nothing."

"Roughly how many?"

Wu Liang asked.

"I don't know, I just know about it."

The woman shook her head and said.

"Then you have been in Sanmen Village for a year, do you know if there are any rich and powerful people among the people they murdered?"

Wu Liang asked using the method of elimination.

In fact, Wu Liang already had an answer to this question in his mind, and there was a high probability that he didn't.

After all, even if the rich and powerful want to relocate, they must have a considerable number of domestic servants, and some of them are even organized private troops. Don't say that they don't need to come to such a small village to stay overnight. The level and number of the villagers in Sanmen Village, it would be good if they could not be robbed by these people, how dare they make things difficult for them?
Sure enough, the woman quickly confirmed Wu Liang's conjecture, she continued to shake her head and said, "That's not true, usually the people who pass here are small houses, and in the past year, only a group of people and the caravan of the young master The size and number of people are comparable, and it seems that they are just a down-and-out family on the way of migration, but they don't have the ability to be a son, and they were all killed by the people of Sanmen Village and buried in the back mountain."

"Ah."

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

If this is the case, then even if the village chief hid some valuables privately, I am afraid that there will not be too many, at least for Wu Liang and Huo Ren who frequently retrieved treasures from ancient tombs that could provide food and grass for thousands of soldiers and horses. As far as the army is concerned, it is a drop in the bucket... You must know that every time Wu Liang went to the tomb, he only took away the gold symbolically and handed it over to Boss Cao. , It is bound to be a considerable fortune.

Therefore, the things that the village chief hid in such a small way really couldn't catch Wu Liang's eyes... But it seems that there is nothing wrong with taking them out to see, what if there are any unexpected gains?

"Go on, what else?"

Skip this matter for now, Wu Liang continued.

"I was able to escape before because the village chief was arranging the murder of the young master and others and had no time to take care of me."

The woman said, "I heard from the village head that the young master seems to be quite interested in the Bian Que Clothes Tomb outside the village. Are you going to check it out?"

"good."

Wu Liang nodded calmly.

"I also heard from the village chief that the Clothes Tomb was dug up by the villagers hundreds of years ago, and there was only a human head carved from stone in the coffin besides a body of clothes."

The woman continued, "Not long after that, a large black bruise appeared on the belly of the gravedigger for no reason. The black bruise grew day by day, and after about three months, only the man was covered. The head was still normal, and then the body under the man's head suddenly turned into a big puddle of stinky black water, leaving only a dead head... People in the village said that he was the dead soul who offended Bian Que, so he was punished. Curse, after that, no one dared to go rashly to the valley where the Bian Que Clothes Tomb is located, and that place was completely deserted."

"This……"

Hearing this, Wu Liang was shocked in his heart.

This symptom was exactly the same as that of Wu Liang and Tuan Renjun. Could it be that the same strange poison as that in Qi Ai Cemetery was also placed in the Bian Que Clothes Tomb?

If this is the case, it proves that he has found the right place. Although this Bian Que tomb is just a clothes tomb, it definitely has an inevitable connection with the "Bian Que" organization, and Bian Que is naturally connected with the "Bian Que" organization.

At the same time, the woman's words also told Wu Liang the situation they were facing at the moment.

After the black green continued to grow and covered the whole body except the head, the place covered by the black green would melt into a pool of black water, and they would only have one head left.

The time limit left for them is only three months.

Taking away the time wasted on the road before, they probably have less than [-] days left...

Subconsciously glanced at the people in the Huan army not far away, in order to avoid bringing too much psychological pressure on everyone, Wu Liang decided to resist the news alone and not tell them for the time being.

The woman then said to herself: "I saw that the young master turned back and camped here, maybe he wanted to see the Bian Que Clothes Tomb, so I told the young master about it, and hope that the young master will consider this matter carefully. To provoke something unclean."

"Ah."

Wu Liang nodded noncommittally, "What else?"

"No, that's all I know, and I've already said it all."

The woman bowed her head and said.

"By the way, about the origin of Sanmen Village and the 'fairy mountain' that can only be seen under the old mulberry tree, do you know anything that is not known to outsiders?"

Wu Liang decided to start for the woman, and asked tentatively, in case he could find some useful information.

"I only know that the 'fairy mountain' has been found by the village chief."

The woman brought Wu Liang a huge surprise when she opened her mouth.

"where is it?"

Wu Liang hurriedly asked.

"I can't tell, but I just vaguely heard someone say that as long as you walk in the direction where the 'fairy mountain' appears, when you see the mouth of the Yellow River, you will not be far from this 'fairy mountain'."

The woman said to Wu Liang seriously in her memory, and then added solemnly, "However, I also heard that this 'Fairy Mountain' is extremely dangerous. Many years ago, twenty villagers went together to look for 'Fairy Mountain'. Finally found it, but only one person who did not enter the mountain ran back alive. Later, some people went to the village to find their bodies. In the end, only two people who did not enter the mountain came back. People dare to mention the matter of looking for the fairy mountain again... So instead of saying that those people in the village are worshiping the fairy mountain, it is better to say that they are paying homage to the ancestors who died there."

　Thanks to [Archer ready to release arrows] and [luoke000] boss for their support, thank you.
