I have a magical tree

Chapter 7 It is easy to kill someone but difficult to dispose of the body

After collecting all the property, Xu Dao did not stay any longer and returned home in less than half an hour.

He jumped into the courtyard and listened attentively. His mother and sister were still asleep and had not woken up. Then he tiptoed back to the room.

He lit the oil lamp and took off all the property, dagger and cloth bags on his body. After a quick count, he found 11 taels of gold, 97 taels of silver and 5 strings of copper coins.

It was not that he only found so many copper coins, but he only took so many. It was really inconvenient to carry them. It was a pity to think about it. As for the 5 strings of copper coins, they were taken from the palace at the end. He could keep them for daily expenses. After all, gold and silver are really eye-catching.

Xu Dao picked up the gold ingots and rubbed them hard in his hands. The gold ingot became a gold bar. The rest of the gold and silver were the same. Then he carefully put the property, dagger and other things into the hole in the corner of the wall, stuffed it with blue bricks, and covered it with miscellaneous items.

After doing all this, Xu Dao did not sleep. Instead, he changed his clothes, took off his face towel, dug a pit in the corner of the courtyard, set it on fire, and buried the ashes. He also transplanted a few medicinal herbs from the side.

Although the whole process made some noise, it was still within the controllable range.

After doing all this, Xu Dao returned to the room again and breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, the danger is over!

Then Xu Dao began to review the situation. After a while, his brows gradually frowned.

"No..."

The more Xu Dao thought about it, the more wrong it was. He found that he did this job a little rough. After all, it was the first time he killed someone and he had no experience. Even if he had considered a lot, there were still omissions.

There were no witnesses, which was good. He didn't say much during the whole process. Everyone who heard him speak was dead. Even some of the families who had cats and dogs were killed. There was no need to consider this.

As for the traces at the scene, he had already cleaned them. Every time he finished a job, he would clean them up. He even wore gloves on his hands and old shoes on his feet, so there were no shoe prints. When he climbed over the wall, his clothes did not get caught on the wall.

As for the killing method, he consciously changed his strength habits when he made the move, and also deliberately destroyed the wound, making it difficult for people to see the clues.

However, there were a few points that he did not do well. One was that the body was not handled after all. It would be best if it could be dissolved with some corpse-dissolving water, and the body should be destroyed and the traces should be destroyed. At the very least, it should be burned with fire.

But it was not his fault. It was easy to kill people but difficult to dispose of the body. It was the first time to kill people, and he killed too many people. There was really no way. You can't set all the houses on fire. If five houses were set on fire at once, I'm afraid the whole county would be in chaos. If the fire could not be controlled, it would be even more troublesome.

The last one was the breath. He had overlooked it before. This was an extraordinary world. Is there a way to track people based on the breath?

Moreover, if those who were killed by him were dead, but their souls were still there, what should he do if someone summoned their souls to ask about them?

But Xu Dao shook his head. Even if he thought of it now, he couldn't do anything. At least he didn't have the means to deal with these problems yet.

Let's wait and see. Moreover, after all, he only killed a group of ordinary people, not monks. I think neither the government nor the Black Tiger Gang would spend too much money to track them down.

After reviewing everything, Xu Dao went back to bed to sleep.

...

The next morning, Xu Dao got up, did a round of boxing as usual, practiced health-preserving exercises, and then took a bath.

He looked at the sky. It was just dawn. His mother and younger sister hadn't gotten up yet, so he took a few copper coins and went out.

There was not much food left at home, so he bought some by the way. Moreover, the price of food changed every day, so it was better to stock up some.

If he wasn't worried that buying too much would attract attention, he really wanted to buy a few dozen stones to keep at home. Only when you have food in your hand can you not panic.

First go to the market, rent a carriage, go to the grain store, buy three stones of brown rice, load the car, and go to the butcher shop to buy two jars of lard and twenty catties of pork.

He spent six strings of money in total. The five strings of money he picked up yesterday were gone before they were even warmed up, and it was not enough.

When he thought about the dozens of strings of copper coins he had thrown away yesterday for convenience, he wanted to slap himself twice. That was a lot of rice and meat!

When he returned home, while there were not many people on the street, Xu Dao moved the brown rice and meat into the house, went to the market to return the carriage, and then hurried back home.

At this time, his mother Liu and his younger sister Xu Lu got up, and then they saw the rice and meat piled in the yard and were stunned.

Seeing Xu Dao coming in, Liu asked directly: "Why did you buy so much?"

"I bought three stones of rice, which is enough for us to eat for a while. I think the weather will continue to be dry. Later, even if it rains, it will miss the season. At that time, the grain production will decrease, and I am afraid that the grain price will rise!"

Moreover, even if the production does not decrease, those grain merchants will take advantage of the disaster to drive up the grain price. That group of people has this character and cannot be changed.

"Is the money enough? I still have some..." Liu came to her senses. Xu Dao had never taken money from her to buy these things, so he had to pay for them himself. How much money could a child have?

Xu Dao waved his hand, "I still have some, don't worry about me, mother! Well... I will continue to buy in the future, but I can't buy in such large quantities. I will buy in small quantities to avoid attracting attention."

"Yes, you are right. If people know about this, I am afraid they will have bad intentions." Liu said hurriedly.

"Mother, go cook! We will have meat this morning! I will deal with these grains! It is not safe to leave them here!" Xu Dao found a hoe.

"Eat meat, eat meat!" When Xu Lu heard that there was meat to eat, his sleepy eyes suddenly shone with brilliance, and he reached out to grab Liu's clothes and shook them.

Xu Dao smiled, "Yes, eat meat, mother, remember to make more, and then go buy more after you finish eating!"

After Liu left, Xu Lu came to Xu Dao, "Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Dig a cellar!"

Xu Dao had already thought about it, and he must dig a hidden cellar in the corner of the yard, one is to store food, and the other is to hide from disasters.

Seeing that the situation outside was getting more and more chaotic, he knew that he had to take action, and time was running out.

The strength of the ninth-grade martial artist made it easy for him to dig the soil, as if cutting tofu with a knife, with almost no effort. Soon a huge cellar was dug.

A main body with three side chambers can barely be regarded as a three-bedroom and one-living room. And he used a hammer to tamp the ground and walls.

The powerful force made the wall as hard as concrete.

The only problem is that there is a lot of extra soil in the yard. This soil is not easy to handle. If it is transported out, it will attract attention. I am afraid that by then everyone will know that there is something fishy in this yard.

After thinking about it, he planned to use all the soil to make bricks, buy some materials, and then build a woodshed to cover the entrance of the cellar.

In order to dig this cellar, he spent half a day. If he had not entered the martial arts realm, ordinary people would probably have to do it for half a month.
