When Chu Wanying came out of the house, the yard was already full of people.

Li Zheng and several villagers gathered in a circle to discuss countermeasures.

Only when she got closer could she hear their words clearly, and she was going to invite someone to come to Yunluo Village to perform a ritual to ward off the disaster.

Now that there is no harvest in the fields, life is not good for every household. In addition, female corpses have been discovered one after another in recent days. The conservative and traditional villagers inevitably have some ideas and attribute all these strange things to the supernatural.

A man's voice suddenly came to my ears, "Just stand aside for a while and don't worry about anything."

Chu Wanying watched Rong Zhan walk to one side and looked at him silently.

In the center of the courtyard, there was a corpse lying flat. Its appearance had been corroded to the point that it could not be seen clearly. Half of its body had turned into white bones. It must have been dead for some time.

In addition, it is winter now, and the corpse will be preserved for a longer period of time in the cold and low temperatures.

In short, it is difficult to estimate the time of death.

Moreover, the most surprising thing is that the Rong family has lived here all year round. If someone buried a body here, they would not know about it.

Chu Wanying stood quietly on one side and looked at the soil on the ground, trying to verify her thoughts.

Sure enough, the soil on the side of the body was different from that in the yard.

Her eyes darkened, and suddenly, a pair of men's shoes appeared in front of her eyes. The other man squatted down, eye level with her, and sighed, "Didn't I tell you to stand aside and leave it alone?"

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the thing in the girl's hand, his eyes moved, "Did you find it?"

The girl nodded, thinking that he already knew about this problem.

Could it be that he did it on purpose? Did he deliberately choose to dig a hole today? Then let everyone discover the female body?

Somehow, Chu Wanying suddenly had such an unrealistic idea in her heart, but when she thought about it again, she found it ridiculous.

At first glance, the land in the yard seems to be flawless, and it would be impossible to discover a body under the ground unless someone is careful.

If Rong Zhan knew, there were only two possibilities, either he was the murderer, or he had the ability to predict the future.

The man looked gloomy and had many thoughts in his heart. Naturally, he couldn't tell her that he had indeed planned all of this.

After the fire in the previous life, the female body was dug out.

Due to the ferocity of the fire, the entire house and everything in the courtyard were reduced to ashes overnight.

The four of them were lucky enough to escape from the fire. Afterwards, the strong men from the village came to help clean the yard and found two bodies.

One is this female corpse, and the other is...

Rong Zhan quietly clenched his fists and raised his eyes to see the girl squatting on the ground attentively, seemingly thinking about something.

Chu Wanying was also killed trying to save herself in the fire.

Everyone in the village thought that they were responsible for the murder of the Rong family, killing people and burying corpses, and they even said that the fire was caused by the failure to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces.

Two lives were inexplicably involved, and all four members of the Rong family were imprisoned. Old Rong, the head of the family, bore all the blame and was executed the next day in the autumn.

The other three were sentenced to exile in the frontier. During the journey, Zhao, the mother, suffered a series of blows, which made her depressed and depressed. Soon she fell into despair and never woke up again.

He relied on his tenacious willpower to survive in the frontier with his baby for two years, until the new emperor ascended the throne and the emperor granted amnesty, and then he took the opportunity to escape.

Thinking of all the past events, Rong Zhan felt sad and scared!

He will never let history repeat itself again!

It's just that he still hasn't figured out where this female corpse came from and who started the fire. This is also the first mystery he needs to solve after his rebirth.

Chu Wanying let the matter go. Since the man already knew, there was no need to remind him.

The soil around the female body was different from other places. It was obvious that someone had moved her from other places and buried her here.

The person who knew the timing of burying the body so accurately must be someone who was familiar with the environment and situation of the Rong family.

She guessed that at the beginning of this year, when Rong Lin lost money in gambling and the creditors came to visit, the Rong family must have been in the most distressed time, and the antiques of the Rong family were also stolen at that time.

Therefore, the burial of the corpse must have happened during this time.

While she was thinking about things, Rong Zhan informed Li Zheng of the discovery. After the latter checked it, he nodded and agreed with him.

Chu Wanying raised her eyes and saw the man standing beside her, facing her, his brows relaxed and his face brightened, as if he had finally solved a major issue on his mind.

Regarding this, the doubts in my heart became more and more serious, and I always felt that Rong Zhan had been hiding something from them.

That's all, everyone has secrets.

Didn’t she also hide her identity and space from Rong’s family?

After thinking about it, Chu Wanying saw that it was getting late, so she turned around and entered her house.

As for the female corpse, with Rong Zhan and the others here, she doesn't have to worry about it. There are more important things waiting for her to do now.

She had not been able to properly enter the space to install the wooden frame in the past two days, so she finally found some time, so she took the time to enter the space and start working.

After an unknown amount of time, the sounds of people outside gradually disappeared, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Today's carpentry work went relatively smoothly. She had roughly completed the two wooden frames, and the next step was to renovate the thatched house.

This is indeed a big project, and how to get the Rong family to agree is a problem in the first place.

She thought about what to say and rummaged in the cabinet for a long time before she found the last piece of paper, wrote a long paragraph on it, and finally put it in her arms.

The Rong family now has a lot of money thanks to selling antiques and selling tigers last time.

What Chu Wanying wanted to do was to make a big push, and while she had money now, she quickly bought more items and saved them.

She had just done some general inventory in the space, and now she had five stones of rice, five stones of noodles, ten boxes of rouge, ten pieces of cloth, several kilograms of seeds and soybeans.

As for his weapons, tools and carts, they are not included in the statistics.

Taking out a long sword and holding it in her hand, Chu Wanying quietly walked out of the door.

A figure stood prominently in the courtyard. His back was thin and tall, and his identity was recognized at a glance.

Hearing the noise, the man turned around and saw her, and said with a smile, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Chu Wanying handed the long sword in her hand forward.

"For me?" After receiving a positive reply, he took it.

What Chu Wanying was thinking was that since he chose to learn martial arts, he had to prepare a handy weapon by his side, right?

The man seemed to have guessed her thoughts. He raised his hand and stroked the hilt of the sword with a gentle expression.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Feeling a little stunned by his gentle tone, she waved her hand.

Rong Zhan saw that she rarely showed the shyness of a young daughter, so he thought of teasing her and touched her head. The girl's hair was soft and smooth and felt very good, so he touched her twice more without knowing it.

Chu Wanying took a step back, barely avoiding his clutches, and glared at him.

This man is getting more and more outrageous!

If you always pet her head, is she treating her as a pet?

"Haha!" Rong Zhan couldn't help laughing, but he was afraid of attracting other people's attention, so he had to lower his voice.

The laughter was low and overflowed from his throat. He cleared his throat after a while and said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I apologize to you. I promise not to touch your head next time."

Chu Wanying obviously didn't believe his lies and rolled her eyes at him.

"Okay, don't be angry. Tell me, what do you want me to do so that I won't be angry?" The man's nice and kind attitude gave her an illusion for a moment.

Is Rong Zhan too kind to me? Could it be that he really likes her?

However, although he behaved affectionately towards her, it didn't feel like love, but rather like the doting of a brother to his sister.

Chu Wanying is still self-aware. Even if Rong Zhan no longer likes Chu Yunting, he is determined not to have any thoughts about herself.

His little face suddenly became serious, he took out the paper in his arms and handed it to him.

The man was confused by her sudden change, but he took it over and went through it quickly.

Seeing the content on the paper, the man looked indifferent, leaving Chu Wanying unable to guess what he was thinking.

After folding the letter and putting it in his sleeve, the man looked up at her and said, "You are much smarter than I thought."

She was actually able to judge the three-year drought, and even thought of the strange trick of stocking up and selling, which coincided with him.

Rong Zhan stared at her meaningfully and said, "I can rely on you on this matter, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to do business in the thatched house at home."

"Firstly, the Rong family has so much food in storage, so they are afraid of attracting attention and causing unnecessary trouble to my parents. Secondly, the thatched house is cold and damp, so it is not suitable for storing too much food."

Every time he said something, Chu Wanying nodded.

In fact, she also thought of these two points.

But now, apart from the thatched house, the Rong family has no other place to spare.

As for the first point, the problem of food storage, she originally wanted to put the food in her own space first, and only take out two bags for sale every day. In this way, wouldn't others be able to guess how much food they have in stock?

?It can be considered that the wealth is not exposed.

"Third," Rong Zhan successfully called the girl's attention, raised his lips and smiled, "The third question is, if according to what you said, in the year of famine, when the villagers have no time to take care of themselves, how can they have the money to come to us?

Where to buy food?”
