Chapter 81 Grave Keeper

Yizhuang is located in the south of the city, the grave is located in the north of the city, and it is not in Changyi City, and there is a long distance between them.

Lu Jiu did not rush over immediately, but chose to stay in the city.

There are not many restaurants that remain open on Zhengyang Festival and are not suitable for public appearances, so he chose a roadside stall.

"Boss, come a fried noodles, add two eggs, and don't add coriander and shredded carrots."

He shouted to the busy boss behind the stall, found a position to turn his back to him and took off the hat. After receiving the reply, he turned the bowl on the table upside down, put a piece of juice ice cube, and waited for it to melt while looking at the rain curtain outside the stall.

It’s not that I don’t want to go to the graves in the north of the city immediately, but the effects of anesthetics and the pollen in my body have not completely dissipated, and the fatigue caused by the rampage state is particularly residual.

The ambush encountered in the charity village before made Lu Jiu realize that his vigilance was not high enough.

Although part of this was a coincidence and a good result was finally achieved, it did not affect his reflection on his actions.

Perhaps because he was too urgent to understand the situation of his predecessor, his observation of the surrounding environment was put second, and this was the case in the charity village before, so Lu Jiu was also trying to use this space to adjust his state.

"Ke-kun, let's have fried rice~ Do you want to add some vegetables? I have salted duck eggs and some sour radish here."

"Get a salted duck egg."

Looking at the steaming bowl of fried rice in front of him, Lu Jiu lowered his head to make sure that his face would not be fully seen by the stall owner. However, the latter obviously had no intention of observing him as a guest. After all, there were still some diners waiting next to him.

Pry out the yolks of the salted duck eggs separately and put them in the fried rice to crush them. The remaining egg white was placed aside. Lu Jiu took a sip of iced juice. As soon as he scooped up a spoonful of fried rice, his ears keenly caught another rapid sound of footsteps nearby. There was a sound of collision between objects.

Did I be targeted again?

From the charity village to this place, I should have been very careful along the way. I stuffed the fried rice into my mouth and Lu Jiu stretched his hand to the backpack that was placed aside.

The sack in the charity house, Lu Jiu, only took out coins and some valuable small items, put them in his backpack. As for the weapons and equipment, they were thrown in place because they were not portable.

Unexpectedly, the window on the second floor of the building in front suddenly opened, and then several figures fell down one after another and ran towards the other side of the street. At the same time, a whole team of fully armed officials rushed out of the other side of the bamboo shed, wearing regular straw raincoats and chasing them.

Soon, the two groups of people gathered together and a battle broke out. Realizing this, Lu Jiu started eating again and enjoyed a live "martial fighting scene".

Judging from the clothes, weapons, equipment and equipment of those people, they should be bandits like the people in the charity village before. Since they dared to come to find the heart-wrenching ghost, they naturally rely on it. Lu Jiu quickly discovered that there should be two demon veins in this team, and their performance after entering the close combat was considered violent.

Unfortunately, as the other two Jingyeshi teams broke into the battlefield, the situation was quickly stabilized. Regardless of the strength of Jingyeshi in Qingding City, the Jing'an Guard in Changyi City did have some skills.

After swallowing the last mouthful of cold juice, Lu Jiu looked at the official in front of him who was already cleaning up the mess, and couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart.

Whether it is the people in the charity village or the people I see now.

So many bandits have gathered in Changyi County but have not retreated. Does this mean that the heart-cut ghost is still in Changyi City or that some clues are left behind?

......

The grave in the north of Changyi City was located on a deserted hillside, which to some extent was also considered a cemetery in Changyi City.

Except for a small number of people who are qualified to choose a cemetery separately, most people will be buried here after their death.

It is precisely because of this that the Changyi City government has repaired this place many times. Although it is not a spacious highway, at least a staircase was specially paved with stone slabs on one side of the hillside, which also saved Lu Jiu time to inquire about the road.

As he climbed up the stairs, Lu Jiu looked at the bungalow on the top of the mountain, which should be where the gravekeepers lived.

Given the special nature of the profession of gravekeepers, it is often held by some lonely and widowed elderly people, so it may be a bit unpleasant to say that... The Zhengyang Festival where family reunion should have little to do with them.

The fact that you can see the smoke rising from the roof chimney after pulling in proves that Lu Jiu is right.

When he reached the middle of the mountain, Lu Jiu could already see a large pile of graves behind the house and the tombstones standing. Since the vegetation on the entire hillside has been cleared, only a portion of the sparse shrubs remain. The first impression of the scene in front of him is desolation and gloom.

There was a lesson in the charity village. This time, Lu Jiu did not come forward to knock on the door rashly, but stood outside the fence and shouted a few times.

"I'm afraid this kid has some brain problems...Hey, are you okay? Come to visit the grave in this weather?"

The old man holding a job in his hand had no intention of going out and stood at the door and responded.

The first half of the sentence is a low murmur heard by Lu Jiu, which is not very friendly, but it is enough to prove that the old man is fine.

"Brother-in-law, I am a visitor. I want to consult you about some things, of course, it is rewarded."

I took out the pre-prepared clerk's ID and a silver dollar from my pocket. As expected, Lu Jiu became a guest of the old man from a child who was considered to be having a brain problem.

"Do you want a bowl?"

The layout of this bungalow is even simpler than the two dilapidated families Lu Jiu had seen before, but all kinds of things were arranged neatly. The old man handed a bowl to Lu Jiu who had just sat down on the carbon stove where he was cooking things.

Lu Jiu had originally planned to refuse, but saw the pickled vegetables and vermicelli boiled in the pot and swallowed twice.

This is one of his favorite vegetarian dishes, which tastes more delicious than those big fish and meat.

"I came here to ask if something strange happened in the cemetery some time ago, especially after the 16th."

Lu Jiu scooped up a bowl of tofu and paused. He felt that he seemed to be too subtle, so he spoke again,

"Actually, I came for the family extermination case that occurred on the 18th Qichunfang. There were tomb robbers in the two families, and I happened to know that they might..."

"Damn it, it's a good death. These guys who dig the graves and corpses together will destroy the family!"

Before he finished speaking, the old man was very tough and slapped the table and said, seeing Lu Jiu's face full of surprise, his expression stagnated, he glanced at the silver dollar next to him before continuing,
Chapter completed!
