Chapter 182 The Dying Man on the Mass Burial Mound
Ji Youyi returned to the inn, packed up her things, and checked out without missing a moment.
Someone like Song Lian might be afraid of doing anything to her on the surface, but there was no guarantee that he wouldn't do anything to her secretly. To be on the safe side, she naturally couldn't stay here.
The first time he spoke about Ruyi Inn was just to attract Song Lian's attention, so that he could find the right place to arrest people and not run around randomly.
Now she left the inn and asked someone for the address of writer Wang Wu.
Although Wang Wuzuo and Zhou Wuzuo were traveling together, they had a good relationship, and occasionally they would meet up to have tea or something together when they had nothing to do.
When Ji Youyi came forward to look for someone, Wang Wuzuo was cooking at home.
"Master Wang, I was introduced by Master Zhou Jiang. I would like to go to the mass graves in Xishan with you."
"Why didn't Zhou Wuzuo take you there?" Wang Wuzuo asked strangely.
"I was supposed to take me there on Friday, but the Yamen had something to do and asked him to find him, so he asked me to come to you." Ji Youyi said and took out forty pieces of silver, "You can accept this money, it is a little bit of mine.
Mind."
After collecting the money, Wang Wu was happy to do the work. He packed up on the spot and set off with Ji Youyi.
There is a mountain to the west of the city with a long ravine on it. There used to be a group of bandits who took advantage of the ravine's easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack geographical location to dominate the mountain.
The court tried to recover it several times but was unable to do so. The scale of the bandits was getting bigger and bigger, and they committed murder and arson.
Maybe it was because he did too many things that were harmful to nature, which made people and gods angry. One night, thunder fell from the sky. One night later, the stronghold was razed to the ground. No one in the village was spared, and all died under the thunder.
Later, this matter was reported to the court, and the county magistrate came with a Taoist priest to investigate. The Taoist priest made a calculation and pointed out that the place was too resentful to be inhabited, and the mountain had to be closed.
The county magistrate got excited and thought that since a piece of land was left vacant, he might as well make a mass grave and dump here all the corpses that had not been claimed for many years, as well as the beheaded prisoners.
Slowly it turned into a mass grave.
Xishan is not far from the city. The two of them didn't even hire a car, and they almost arrived in half an hour without waking up.
Wang Wuzuo led the people to the foot of the Western Mountain and pointed to the way up the mountain, "You go this way and you will see the mass graves when you walk in. I won't follow you in later."
"Thank you, master."
After Ji Youyi thanked him, she parted ways with Wang Wuzuo and walked into the mountains.
Although she didn't believe in any ghosts or gods, she did feel the howling wind when she walked into the mountains. Even in the middle of summer, it was supposed to be a hot noon, but it still made people feel chilly.
She wasn't afraid of corpses or anything like that, but the smell around them was really unbearable.
She first searched along the roadside, but found nothing. Smelling the stench of corpses, she couldn't help but take out a homemade mask to temporarily block it for a while.
Although this smell cannot be resisted by a simple mask, it is better than nothing.
I really couldn't find the outer circle, so I had no choice but to go deeper.
She looked at the cecal passage and only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
At first, the complete corpses appeared. It seems that the person who threw the corpses was lazy, so they threw them outside more and more.
The further you go inside, you can roughly tell the time when the corpses were dumped based on the degree of decomposition of the corpses. Some of them were wearing prison uniforms, and some were corpses that had been buried naturally and had not been claimed for a long time. You can tell this from the clothes.
No matter what, this section of the road is really the most disgusting.
Because most of these corpses have begun to decompose, but are not completely decomposed, their appearance can be seen, but they are still connected by skin and flesh.
The rotting corpse liquid dyed the surrounding soil a strange color, neither black nor yellow.
Ji Youyi's feet felt soft when she stepped on them, as if she were stepping on cotton. There was no solid feeling under her feet.
Then I thought about it, stepped down, and immediately fell into the soil.
The gray-brown liquid covered her feet. She shook her ankles in disgust and frowned into a Kawako shape.
Looking up, she saw that there was still a long way to go, and she was really in trouble.
She sighed deeply, took something out of the medicine box and sprinkled it on her feet, just in case, she still had to take measures.
At this moment, there suddenly was a strange sound in the forest, like a humming sound.
Ji Youyi became nervous and sprinkled half a bag of powder on her shoes.
"Tsk."
Suddenly my mood became even less beautiful.
How to do this?
She put away her things, carried the medicine box on her back, and walked carefully towards the sound.
Strangely, several of the corpses here are fresh.
She put on homemade gut gloves and turned over the corpse. She found that although they were all wearing guard uniforms, judging from the sewing and simple lines of the clothes, they were not something ordinary people could afford.
The bodyguard of a wealthy family died here?
This is not unusual.
At this moment, the faint humming sound appeared again.
Ji Youyi moved slowly, and after walking around a big rock, she saw a man who seemed to be still alive.
One look at the outfit revealed that the man was definitely rich or noble. Although he was covered in blood and could not see his appearance clearly, judging from his body shape and bones, he was not too bad looking.
This man and the enemy who may be the group of guards were both injured. One was completely destroyed and the other was half dead. It seemed that if no one rescued him, he would definitely not be able to survive in this barren mountain.
Ji Youyi wanted to apply oil on her soles and leave immediately. After all, these people were definitely dangerous to her. She had seniors and juniors, so she really couldn't get involved in such trouble.
But when she turned around, she stopped.
The man was leaning against a big tree, and Ji Youyi vaguely saw what she wanted behind the man, being pressed by him.
This is so dramatic. God wants her to save people?
Ji Youyi quietly stepped forward and checked the man's breath. He was indeed still alive.
He was stabbed in the chest, his clothes were torn, and the wounds on his shoulders were so deep that the bones were visible. This was definitely not something ordinary people could do.
"Brother, I can't do anything about your injuries. You will die early and be born early, so stop struggling."
Ji Youyi murmured to herself, regardless of whether he could hear it or not. She pushed the person and moved a little bit, and sure enough she saw the herbs she needed.
She carefully dug out the medicinal herbs. The medicinal herbs must be effective continuously. In order to maintain the medicinal properties, she also brought a jade box.
After digging out the herbs and putting them into the box, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now, Guo Wenhan was saved.
The next step is how to deal with this man?
She looked carefully and saw that the man's injuries were old and new. She guessed that this man must have been attacked many times, but his injuries were the most serious.
This man, whose identity is mysterious and is constantly being hunted, will never give up until his enemies find his body.
She had tested it just now and found that with her own strength, it was impossible to bring people out of the mountain.
No matter how she looked at it, this was a dead end. She didn't want to get into trouble, so she only hesitated for a while before getting up and preparing to leave.
