Chapter 697: The Empty Grave
Feng Lin was a little surprised, this person was still an ancient warrior.
The realm is only the middle stage of An Jin.
Is he Xu Ruoying’s grandfather?
Xu Ruoying looked at the mottled wooden door. There were holes in some places on it.
She put her eyes over it and observed the yard inside through the hole.
I found that all the sight lines were blocked by weeds.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
Feng Lin patted Xu Ruoying’s shoulder from behind.
“Okay!”
Xu Ruoying nodded, and the two of them did not leave.
Their realm, facing the two-meter-high courtyard wall, is like flat ground.
With a slight jump, the two jumped into the yard.
The yard is not big, there is only a small corridor paved with bricks, one and a half meters wide.
As for both sides of the aisle, they are already covered with weeds.
Fully half the height of a person.
In the corner on the left, Feng Lin saw the tomb that Xu Chuan mentioned.
There is no tombstone, just a simple mound covered with weeds.
Directly ahead, there is an earthen house, one of the wooden doors has decayed and fallen.
In the dark room, there is the aura of a person.
Feng Lin walked inside.
Xu Ruoying nervously grabbed the corner of Feng Lin's clothes.
Going into the room, the floors here are all paved with bricks.
On the wall on the left, rusty shovels and hoes hang.
There is also a shabby sofa and wooden table.
On the right side of the room is a small bedroom where the breath is.
Feng Lin walked over, opened the curtain, and saw a woman lying on the wooden bed.
“Wake up.”
Feng Lin walked over and called softly.
Brush!
The figure suddenly trembled and turned around quickly.
The deep black eyes were a little panicked, and she immediately jumped up and wanted to escape from the window on the side.
Boom!
As soon as she jumped up, she was pressed to the ground by an invisible force.
“Ah!”
She let out a cry of pain.
Xu Ruoying also walked in and stared at the woman lying on the ground, "It scared me. I thought it was my grandfather's ghost."
"There is something wrong with this woman."< br>
Feng Lin walked over, grabbed the woman Destiny by the back of her neck, and carried her out.
Under the sunlight outside, the woman couldn't even open her eyes.
She looked about fifteen years old. She was dressed in rags and had long hair.
Has a sickly pale face.
"Don't hit me, I will never steal again." The woman covered her eyes with her hands and begged.
“I won’t hit you, just take your hands away.”
Feng Lin said calmly.
"No, I'm afraid of scaring you." The woman whispered.
“I’m not afraid.”
Feng Lin squatted on the ground and pried the woman’s hand away.
Xu Ruoying also followed up strangely, observing the woman's face.
If it weren’t for these pathologies, she would still be a little beauty waiting to bloom.
However, her eyes are very strange.
Normal people’s eyes are composed of the whites of the eyes, then the eyeballs, and finally the small dots inside the eyeballs, which are the pupils.
But this woman has no pupils.
Except for the whites around her eyes, she has only one dark eye.
You can’t see the pupils inside at all.
If you don't look carefully, it's nothing.
But if you look closely, it becomes more and more weird, even a little scary.
"Feng Lin, what's going on?" Xu Ruoying asked in shock.
"I don't know, maybe they are foreigners."
Feng Lin shook his head slightly and asked plainly, "Why do you live here? This is not your home."
"This place has long been abandoned. No one lives here anyway. I sleep here during the day."
"Go out to steal things at night?"
Feng Lin asked lightly, this woman's sickly skin , is due to not being exposed to the sun for a long time. Apparently sleeping during the day and going out at night.
"I was wrong, I never dare again." The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Feng Lin.
"Get up, what's your name?"
Xu Ruoying pulled the woman up.
"My name is Mianmian."
"Mianmian?" Xu Ruoying was a little confused.
“I was adopted by my grandparents. They said that I liked to eat noodles when I was a child, so they called me Mian Mian.”
Mianmian replied.
"Are your grandparents gone?" Feng Lin asked.
"Yes."
Mianmian lowered her head and responded. At this moment, her stomach suddenly growled.
She immediately covered her belly.
"Hey, here's a good thing for you."
Feng Lin took out a pack of military compressed biscuits from the space ring and handed it to Mianmian, "Eat it."
"Thank you ...Thank you.”
Mianmian took the biscuit excitedly, tore open the package and ate it.
“Remember to help me with my work after eating.”
Feng Lin took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Mianmian.
"Okay! I am very strong."
Mianmian said with a smile while eating.
“I need someone with strong strength.”
Feng Lin walked into the room and took out the shovel.
Mianmian finished the biscuits in the blink of an eye, drank half a bottle of mineral water, and finally exhaled.
“Are you full?”
Feng Lin came over and asked.
"Hehe... not yet." He rubbed his head in embarrassment.
"Work first, and I'll let you eat when you're done." Feng Lin threw the shovel to her.
Face to face took the shovel and asked strangely: "Brother, what do you want me to do?"
"Level my grandfather's grave." Xu Ruoying said with a smile.
“So this is my sister’s home.” Mianmian giggled a few times.
"Don't be flat, I'll let you dig a grave." Feng Lin came over and said.
Xu Ruoying was immediately confused. She immediately pointed at Feng Lin and shouted: "How can I be sorry for you? I served you for two hours yesterday, and you still want to dig up my ancestral graves?"
"Calm down."
Feng Lin rolled his eyes, put his arm around Xu Ruoying's shoulders, looked at Mianmian and said, "Hurry up."
"Okay!"
Mianmian After all, he is a master of An Jin. He looks young, but with Qi Jin, he is far beyond ordinary people.
She works tirelessly here.
In just a few minutes, the raised mound of soil on the grave was dug up.
Then I dug deeper, about two meters deep, and hit the coffin board.
"Okay, clean up the soil around the coffin." Feng Lin said calmly.
Mianmian nodded and started working here again.
With prolonged exposure to the sun, her eyes gradually opened.
After a while, the entire coffin board was exposed to the air.
Feng Lin walked over, lifted up the coffin board with one hand.
Xu Ruoying was so frightened that she immediately closed her eyes and did not dare to look.
It has been so many years, my grandfather must have been a skeleton long ago.
Feng Lin looked inside and smiled softly: "As expected, Xu Guoshou is not dead at all."
"What?"
Xu Ruoying, who was closing her eyes, immediately opened her eyes. She walked over and looked at the coffin.
It was empty, nothing.
"How is it possible? Although I was still young at the time, I clearly remember that my grandfather's heart stopped beating and his body gradually became cold."
Xu Ruoying couldn't believe it. She remembered that she had been there for many days in a row. , couldn’t sleep well.
Xu Chuan also cried very sadly.
“I can make people’s hearts stop temporarily and their bodies become cold.”
Feng Lin finally understood why when Xu Chuan told the real human about the fake grave, the real human didn’t look for it again. he.
Because the fake grave was also empty, the real humans, like themselves, guessed that Xu Guoshou just faked his death.
