Chapter 49: Broken Tomb and Empty Coffin (3)
The more he thought about it, the more afraid Feng Shen became.You know, the ten-inch long Emei thorn is not like a dart or other hidden weapon.Not only is it heavy, but it is extremely difficult to control.Almost in a blink of an eye, the girl sent out all eight stabs, the speed of her strikes and the accuracy of her throws are beyond the reach of gods and ghosts!

Ordinarily, such a profound method should never match that young age.But the facts were right in front of him, and Feng Shen couldn't help being suspicious.

After much deliberation, there is only one possibility.Unless that girl... the teacher came out of the Tang Sect!
Although I doubt it in my heart, I can't insist that the girl is from the Tang Sect.These eight water-splitting Emei thorns are all naked, without any traces.From this alone, nothing can be deduced.

But no matter what the girl's identity is, she must have a plan in this cemetery.I remember that before leaving, she once said that she wanted to find someone.The hidden threads here are probably inextricably linked.

"Master!" Just as he was thinking, Feng Quan pointed to the small shack in front of the cemetery and said, "There is movement in there!"

Feng Shen looked serious, and rushed towards the shed, Zha Wuzuo and Feng Quan followed closely behind.

After pushing open the door of the shed, an old man with white beard and hair was lying on the ground.The old man's back was raised, and behind the sparsely haired head, there was a big bruised bump.Not to mention being tied up all over his body, a rag was stuffed in his mouth.Seeing someone coming, he struggled desperately, whimpering.

Needless to say, this is the real gravekeeper.The three hurriedly untied all the ropes on the hunchbacked old man, and helped him up from the ground.

The smock of the hunchbacked old man was ripped off by the girl, and he shivered from the cold.Seeing this, Feng Shen quickly asked Feng Quan to go outside to fetch his smock.

Not long after, Feng Quan came back with the old clothes, the hunchbacked old man hurriedly put them on, took out the fire sickle and the cigarette pot, and lit them tremblingly.After a few puffs of spicy dry tobacco, it was somewhat warm.The hunchbacked old man coughed a few times and asked where the three of them came from.

Feng Shen hurriedly revealed his identity, and then asked how the hunchbacked old man ended up in such a state.

"Hey," the hunchbacked old man grimaced, "I don't know what crime I did, old man... I saw that the loess was buried up to my neck...but I was beaten and tied... I suffered a living crime all night... ..."

"One night?" Feng Shen was taken aback for a moment, and then exchanged a glance with Zha Wu.

"That's right!" The hunchbacked old man gritted his teeth in pain as he touched the bag on the back of his head.He took another sip of the dry cigarette, and then told Feng Shen and the others what had happened.

Last night, the wind blew hard.The hut was ventilated, and the hunchbacked old man couldn't stand the cold.After sitting for a while, I spread out the bedding early and got on the kang.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard the sound of iron clashing from outside the shed.At first, the hunchbacked old man thought that it was windy outside, but he heard it wrong.But then, a few low-pitched curses were heard.

The more he listened, the more the hunchback felt something was wrong.The heavy footsteps sounded chaotic, obviously not one or two people came.Who on earth would come to this cemetery in this cold night?

If it is a grave robber who digs graves for treasure, it is somewhat unlikely.The cemetery guarded by the hunchback old man is more likely to be buried with someone who is not rich.If it was a wealthy family, they would not bury the dead in the funeral tomb.It is said to guard the tombs, but in fact it means weeding and adding soil to those deserted tombs.Since these are poor graves and mounds, naturally there will not be any rare treasures in the coffin.When the owner of the tomb was buried, at most he held a piece of "money" in his mouth and a pair of walnuts in his hand.So very few tomb robbers would miss this place.

However, this cannot be said to be dead.No matter whether you are poor or rich, you are very important to what happens after you die.Even if there are no treasures to be buried with them, several layers of good-quality funeral clothes will be put on the dead body.

Some poor people who really can't survive will take advantage of the dark night and high wind to take some not-so-rotten burial clothes from the dead.After cleaning the pulp and deodorizing it, take it to a clothing estimate shop to try your luck.If the court official at the clothing store made a mistake and mistook the shroud for old clothes that he didn't wear, he could get a few big coins and have a full meal to survive his hunger.

So the old hunchback couldn't lie down anymore.Quickly put on clothes and shoes, and rushed out of the shed with a lantern.

Who would have thought that as soon as he showed his head, without seeing anyone outside, the hunchbacked old man felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and was hit with a sap.

This stick was not light, the hunchbacked old man lay on the ground with his head straight, and fell into a coma for a whole night, and then he woke up from the cold at dawn.His body was sore and cold, and the hunchbacked old man slowed down for a while before he could get up from the ground.

He was afraid that those villains were still outside, so he didn't dare to show his face, so he just returned to the kang and shivered into a ball.

After a while, when there was no abnormal sound outside, the hunchbacked old man tremblingly poked his head outside to have a look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, there was another flower in front of my eyes.A figure rushed over quickly and pressed hard on his neck.The hunchback old man felt a numbness in his neck, and his knees drooped limply.

At this moment, the hunchback old man saw clearly that the person standing in front of him was actually a little girl.

The little girl couldn't help but step on the hunchback old man and asked softly if anyone was here last night.The hunchback old man knew that this little girl was not easy to mess with, so he nodded quickly.Hearing that someone was indeed coming, the little girl was overjoyed, and continued to ask about the person's appearance and whereabouts.

When the hunchback old man was about to tell the truth, the little girl suddenly changed her expression and waved her hand at the hunchback old man, making a silent gesture.Immediately afterwards, the little girl suddenly lowered her body and put her ears on the ground to listen.

After only listening for a while, the little girl tore off the smock from the hunchback old man several times, and put it on herself.Although the hunchback old man didn't know what was wrong with her, he could only be at her mercy.

After the little girl dressed up, she found another rope and quickly tied the hunchback man tightly.Afraid that he would struggle and scream, the little girl found a rag and stuffed it into the hunchback's mouth.Fiddled with the hunchbacked old man for a while, then opened the door and went out...

What happened after that, Feng Shen and others already knew.That little girl of unknown origin transformed herself into an old appearance by pricking her acupuncture points with silver needles.Although the appearance was very different from that of the hunchback old man, among the three people who came, only Feng Quan had seen the hunchback old man in a hurry.As long as he imitated the hump old man's hunchback appearance, even Feng Quan would not realize that the "hump old man" was a fake.

It seems that the little girl is indeed looking for someone.And what she was looking for should be the group who broke into the cemetery last night and knocked out the hunchback old man.
