Chapter 2081 Vanished
"Opening a grave is bad luck. It will bring misfortune to the whole village. We must not open a grave."
"Yuanyuan is from here. Now that her parents have passed away, we, the elders and villagers, can still take charge and protect her grave!"
"Yes, you must not open the grave."
The people all believed in certain things and thought that Yuanyuan was a member of the village and was related to the fortune of the village, so they were determined not to let them touch the grave at this moment.
Faced with the aggressive villagers, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked at each other and had no choice but to give up.
"Okay, we won't dig." The two men sighed, and under the gaze of the villagers, they walked back step by step. Only when they returned to the inn did the villagers stop following them.
late at night.
After a secret patrol to make sure that no one was watching, they picked up their shovels and headed for the cemetery.
"Open the grave."
"Yes, master."
The secret guards worked together. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were not idle either. They took shovels and dug the grave with the secret guards. Soon, the grave was dug open. The moment the coffin was opened, Wan Shufang's eyes widened.
But then he showed an expression of "as expected" and shook his head slightly.
"The body is really gone."
This was not the first time they had seen such a thing, but they still felt confused. After all, who would steal the body of a child?
"Changli, who do you think took Yuanyuan's body away?"
After hearing Wan Shufang's words, Chen Changli did not reply. He just glanced at the dawn in the sky and said calmly, "Seal the coffin first. It will be dawn soon."
After he finished speaking, several secret guards also thought of the ferocity of the villagers, and they all worked hard. After a few people grunted and buried the coffin back in no time.
After returning to the inn, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang discussed the whereabouts of the body while resting.
"Chen Changli, you speculated before that Su Yuehua might not be dead. Then could it be that Yuanyuan is not dead either, and Su Yuehua faked the child's death and came back to take the child away?"
As she spoke, Wan Shufang stretched out her hand and drew circles on his chest out of boredom, confusion in her eyes. She was not worried about Yuanyuan at the moment, she just wanted to know the answer to all the mysteries.
With her movements, an ambiguous atmosphere was instantly ignited in the dark night.
Chen Changli held her hand, his voice a little hoarse: "I don't know either, but she is the only one who has the motivation and ability."
"I think so too. You never know. After we left that day, she went to dig up the grave and rescued Yuanyuan." As she spoke, Wan Shufang couldn't help but yawn, tears welling up in her eyes.
She hadn't slept well for several days, and even though she had something on her mind, she felt extremely sleepy.
Feeling the soft body in his arms, Chen Changli lowered his head slightly and saw the dark circles under her eyes. A trace of heartache flashed across his eyes, and he subconsciously hugged her tightly: "Go to bed first, and we'll talk tomorrow if there's anything."
"I haven't slept for several days. Chen Changli, you should also rest soon. You are old and can't stay up late."
Wan Shufang mumbled in a daze, and before she knew it, she fell asleep in his arms. The moonlight was high in the sky, covering the entire town, adding a unique charm to it.
A good night's sleep.
Chen Changli and Wan Shufang slept until noon the next day. After getting enough rest, they were full of energy. After packing up, they went out to get some news.
After visiting various places, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang finally learned more of the truth.
It turned out that Su Yuehua was married to Zhao Dachuan as a child bride. She could even be said to have grown up under the eyes of ordinary people and lived a very miserable life.
But she had no regrets and worked hard in the Zhao family for more than ten years...
Just by listening to those descriptions, Wan Shufang seemed to see a woman's tragic life.
She had a complicated expression and subconsciously held Chen Changli's hand tightly: "She is so pitiful, and she was killed by her husband, and she couldn't even save her child."
"Yes, Yuehua is a girl who really makes people feel sorry for her." The old woman sighed sincerely, her face full of regret.
Wan Shufang was also touched and felt a little compassion. She shook Chen Changli's arm and said, "Changli, why don't we just ignore this matter and let her live the life she likes."
"Okay." Chen Changli agreed immediately. After all, Su Yuehua didn't do anything against the law. She just took the child away.
In this world, women should not be so harsh on them.
Certain regulations should have been abolished and changed long ago to protect the interests of women.
This time, both of them made up their minds to let Su Yuehua escape and did not investigate further. Instead, they focused on enjoying the scenery of Shu.
After a few days of peace and quiet, the village chief suddenly came over, smiling, and said to Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, "Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, tomorrow is our village's annual bonfire party."
"We are going to go hunting in the mountains today. We will put the prey together and roast it for the bonfire party. I came here specially to call you. Do you want to come with us?"
Hearing this, Wan Shufang looked up and realized that there were many people following him. Those people were carrying bows and arrows and machetes, and they were obviously going hunting.
When she thought of the excitement of the bonfire party, Wan Shufang immediately agreed.
"Go, village chief, we'll be there soon."
After saying that, she pushed Chen Changli into the house to change clothes. As she worked, she muttered, "I was originally worried that I couldn't find anything interesting after touring Shu. This is really like sending a pillow when I'm sleepy."
"When the time comes, hunting and having fun will be fun. Chen Changli, don't just stand there, get ready quickly." Wan Shufang urged Chen Changli to change his clothes.
Seeing her excitement, Chen Changli couldn't help laughing. He rubbed her hair lovingly and went to change his clothes obediently.
After the two returned from the inn, the village chief also gathered all the villagers, and the group headed for the forest in a mighty procession. The annual forest hunting thus kicked off.
"Village chief, where are we going first?" Wan Shufang couldn't help but ask while pushing away the thorns on the mountain road. She had been climbing for so long but hadn't even seen a rabbit.
The village chief smiled and pointed upwards: "There is flat land above and a river. Let's go catch fish first and then hunt other animals."
"it is good!"
The rest of the people echoed in a voice that resounded through the sky. They were full of energy and followed the village chief. They soon came to a cliff. Looking at the overgrown road, the village chief smiled apologetically.
"Sir, Madam, we haven't been here for a year, so there are too many weeds on the road." As he said this, he called two villagers to come forward to cut the grass, and then continued: "Otherwise, Madam, please stay behind and we will go first to open the road."
"Village Chief, I can leave. You don't need to make anything special for me."
Wan Shufang stretched out her hand and stopped the two people who wanted to cut the grass. She kept staring at the weeds with a dark look. After a moment, she glanced at Chen Changli.
He looked solemn, and it was obvious that he had made the same discovery as her.
Someone has been to this place!
