C43 (1/2)

”It was just after liberation. The country belonged to the period of internal strife, and there were many remote places, such as small towns and villages, that had not been liberated.” At that time, the words of a matchmaker between a man and a woman were also decided by the parents.

That Miss Mu Mansion's daughter, Mu Hua, has come back from studying abroad. According to us, she is someone who has eaten the ink.

Miss Muhua had been born into a wealthy family. Ever since she was young, her father had arranged for her to marry him. The man was the son of the mayor of the town at that time. His family was also very rich, and he had a lot of power at that time.

Miss Mu Hua's father wholeheartedly wanted to marry his daughter to the mayor's son, but Miss Mu Hua didn't want to marry anyone, so she eloped with someone she liked. However, the mayor caught her and killed them both, then asked the old Daoist to set up a formation so that they would never be able to reincarnate.

Guan Rou sighed and said, ”How pitiful. Then do you know where Miss Mu Hua's body is buried?”

Old man Xu said softly, ”That Miss Muhua's soul was sealed in the villa, but her body was buried in those five cemetery grounds.”

When I heard this, I was like looking for a needle in a haystack. How could I find the corpse?

Saying this, he hurriedly said, ”Grandfather, how can we find that corpse? There are so many corpses in the cemetery, it would be hard to find one.”

”That's easy. If you can remove the villa's seal and get Miss Mu Hua's ghost out, then you can find the soul and corpse.” I glanced at the birch next to me, which nodded. Then I felt a cold wind blowing.

Old man Xu said softly, ”Kid, if I'm not wrong, you're Liu Bingyi's foster son, right?”

”How do you know that you know my master?” If that's the case, then it's actually true. The old gramps brought me up, so I can be considered my father.

”Your master and I have been friends for many years. It's just that we've been running around separately and haven't been in contact.” Old man Xu extended his hand and drank a mouthful of tea, then said, ”Is your godfather still well?”

My expression changed slightly as I said sorrowfully, ”The old man has passed away.”

”What?” ”Sigh …” At this moment, Mu Hua revealed his real body and continued, ”I beg Great Master to help me find my corpse so I can reincarnate.”

Old man Xu thought for a moment and asked, ”Could it be that you don't want revenge?”

”It has already been so long. Even if I want revenge, that bastard Zhang National should be reincarnated by now.”

”Alright, let's not talk about this for now and hurry up and find your corpse. It looks like the sky is about to turn dark, so I don't want to dig a grave at night.” We found a few shovels and hoes and walked to a cemetery not far behind the house. There was a chill in the air, and some abandoned babies were left behind.

Saying that, I held on to Guan Rou's arm in fear while the two of them followed behind me.

”Mu Hua, use your senses and see if you can sense it.” Mu Hua closed his eyes, then walked over to one of the grave boxes. ”This is it. Master, I can feel that this should be it.”

”Alright then …” Then we'll start digging. ” I brandished my hoe and started digging. I looked back at Guan Rou and saw that she had hidden herself next to old man Xu.

I have no choice but to do it myself. After about half an hour of digging, I finally dug a pit. Suddenly, they heard a ”kacha …” A thunderous sound rang out as a thunderbolt struck down from the skies, striking right into the depths of the pit. Moments later, the skies were filled with dense dark clouds as lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

”It can't be that bad, digging a grave and getting struck by lightning!” I was too scared to move, afraid of the next lightning strike.

Guan Rou hastily replied, ”There seems to be something inside the pit.” I jumped into the pit, reached into the pit, and found something hard. This thing seems to be... It was a human bone!

I yanked out a hand bone and threw it to the ground. Mu Hua hastily floated over and said, ”Master, this is my skeleton. Before I died, I still wore the ring Wang Jun gave me.”

What are we waiting for? Let's dig. I dug the bones out with a shovel and carried them back to the yard, wrapped in a mat.

Old man Xu said softly, ”Brat, put the skeleton in the house. Let me take a look. I'll find a place to burn it tomorrow.”
