Early that morning, it was raining heavily, so Lu Xinyi pushed the cart out. The cart was wrapped in a mat, and she was wearing a raincoat, looking very embarrassed.
Two bare feet were exposed outside the mat. The servant boy at the door saw him and immediately stepped forward to stop him.
“What can you dare to get out of the Duke’s Mansion so easily?”
The rain was surprisingly heavy. Even if you were wearing a bamboo hat, it was inevitable that rain would splash in. Lu Xinyi said loudly: “Brother , the last horse in the stable is dead, old Zhang Tou'an Stop me and say that if the horse dies, throw it into a mass grave, otherwise it will pass the epidemic!"
The doorman was about to check, but was so frightened by her words about the epidemic that he retracted his hand. Black spots were already visible on the two exposed feet, and I couldn’t help but say:
"Well, I guess he won't live long, so just throw it away! Remember to come back and report it to the nobles!"
"Yes!"
Lu Xinyi pushed the car hard, his cheeks The white gauze on her clothes played a very good role in shaping the terrifying atmosphere. She pushed the cart to the mass grave. In order to prevent those people from reacting, she and the boy put his coat on a corpse, and then made a hasty After being buried, they left the mass graves one after another.
The young man jumped into the river. Although it was raining heavily, the rain in the sky and the river water on the ground seemed to wash away the evil in the world. The young man couldn't help but feel happy——
Many years The prison life, the torture that is worse than life and death, now let it go happily with the rain!
After he took a clean bath and walked ashore naked, Lu Xinyi was holding an umbrella with her back to him. There was a set of clean clothes beside him, with a pair of scissors and a razor on top.
Lu Xinyi said loudly: "It's getting late, I have to go back. If your hair can't be washed clean, just cut it off. When it grows back, it will be black and shiny hair! Thing! I left the umbrella with you, we will meet again when we are destined!"
After that, she dropped the umbrella, her raincoat was already wet, but she didn't care much, turned around and ran back to the Duke's Mansion.
On the shore, the boy got dressed, and the weather gradually cleared up. Under the sunshine, the boy shaved off his beard and knotted hair, looking like a young monk who had just become a monk, looking at the water. The young man couldn't help feeling hurt when he fell in love with him.
As soon as he returned to the Duke's Mansion, he saw a group of people waiting in the stable. The sky had cleared. Lu Xinyi took off his bamboo hat. Lao Zhang came up and asked:
"Where is the last sick horse? Where did it go?!"
Lu Xinyi shook the water on his sleeves: "Mr. Hui, that horse was infected with the disease. When the students found it, it was already dead. I was afraid of it The old man said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, old man?" When did I become your husband? I think you were infected with the disease and went crazy!"
As he said that, he turned around and knelt down to the crowd, saying:
"Little old man. You are incompetent. I will punish this girl severely and carry the body back. I hope you nobles will not report it to the master!"
The leading old man said: "But the master wants to see the sick horse now. You'd better hurry up. If it's too late, we can't protect you!"
Old Zhangtou promised again and again, got up and took the horse. Quick horse, hitch the carriage, pull up a young man, and grab Lu Xinyi , said:
"You have done this evil yourself, come with me to find that body! Otherwise, I will break your legs and feed them to the wolves!"
Lu Xinyi reluctantly went to the ground. When we got out of the car, it had been raining all night, and the road was inevitably muddy. The three of us bumped along the way, and it was hard to see. Yi Cai came to the mass grave and saw the corpse still soaking in the mud from a distance. Lu Xinyi secretly screamed, but when he got closer, he saw that the corpse's face had been soaked beyond recognition. Old man Zhang was about to go up. Lifting the body forward, Lu Xinyi hurriedly stopped him and said:
" Sir, if the corpse is infected with the epidemic, if it is carried back to the mansion rashly, what should we do if the Duke's mansion is infected with the epidemic?" When he heard about the epidemic, the young man jumped further: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, just carry the corpse back. He is also unlucky for the Duke’s government!”
Yes, whoever wants to come here is willing to come here. At this time, Lu Xinyi stepped forward and said:
"Sir, you also saw that the sick horse is indeed He's dead. You see, why don't we go back to the mansion first? What the Duke's mansion probably wants to know is whether the sick horse is dead or not, not a corpse, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, let's go quickly. The mass graves are filled with people who died of illness. It's bad luck!"
Unable to withstand the rhetoric of the two people, the old man Zhang had no choice but to say: "Okay. Go ahead and report it truthfully when you get back. Xiao Wu, you are watching on this mass grave. I went back and asked the owner. If the owner still wants the body, I will come back to you to carry it back together!”
As he said that, he gave Xin Yi another hard squeeze and cursed: "Go back and follow me to tell the master!" I could only watch helplessly as the two got into the car and drove off.
Lu Xinyi looked at the sky and hurriedly drove the carriage back.
Halfway through the walk, Lao Zhangtou patted his forehead and said: "Oh, I forgot to give Xiao Wu a raincoat! What if it rains again today?"
Xin Yi hurriedly said: "Sir, you are too My heart is soft! Brother Wu is still young, what happened to him in the rain? We should rush back to recover now. If the master says that he doesn’t want the body, we should come back quickly to pick up Brother Wu!”
Seeing that he had gone a long way, Old Man Zhang had no choice but to agree to Xin Yi's suggestion. The two returned to the mansion, and Old Zhang hurriedly asked his master for instructions. Sure enough, after a while, a group of strong men came out from the Guogong Courtyard, followed Old Zhang, and said:
"You girl. You are so bold. He is a first-level criminal in the Duke's palace. If you dare to let him go today, even ten of your heads can't stop him!"
Lucin! Yi hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said with a trembling body: "Sir, please calm down. The body is still in the mass grave. The adults can tell at a glance that this slave is also thinking about the house!"
A few people He pulled Xin Yi up, turned around and mounted his horse. They bumped along the way to the mass grave, only to see Xiao Wu trembling, holding his nose and using tree sticks to piece together the corpses on the pile of dead people.
Seeing everyone coming, Xiao Wu fell to his knees with a plop.
"Adults! A pack of wild dogs came from nowhere just now and chewed the dead man's bones into pieces. Now these are the only ones left! No matter how hard the villain chases him away, it's useless!"
The corpse gave off a foul stench. The officers went up to check it out and pulled it around with wooden sticks. They saw that the dead man’s bones and face were so rotten that they looked at Lao Zhangtou and heard him say:
“Big Man, this sick horse was indeed dressed like this when it died. It was so filthy. In these famine years, there are too many wild dogs, so it is normal for this sick horse to bite people's faces to bits! No doubt. Sir, it's raining so hard, let's go back quickly!" The officer and soldier suddenly said to Xin Yi while hesitating, "Go and put his body together!"
