Wishful Things

The two got off their horses in front of the back mountain and walked towards the place where Qiao Bingying's grave was.

Qiao Tian has not arrived yet.

"Mr. Qiao should have just returned home from private school at this time." Xu Mingyi looked at the gradually darkening sky and said, "Let's wait a little longer."

Qiao Tian had no intention of disturbing his mother at home, and he expected to accompany Qiao's mother after dinner and then look for opportunities to come over.

Wu Chao nodded.

The Celestial Eye who followed was squatting on a high branch, but it had already set up its posture of watching the wind.

After waiting like this for nearly two quarters of an hour, when the night had already filled the entire back mountain, there were finally the faint sound of footsteps.

Tianmu dutifully called out.

However, with this cry, all the birds in the mountain were immediately startled.

"..." Xiao Qi silently glanced at the big bird squatting on the branch.

Tianmu is really quite flamboyant...

The big bird, who also seemed to feel that he had been careless, had raised one wing and covered its long beak.

It was Qiao Tian who came.

He was holding a lantern in his hand, and under the light of the flickering lights, it could be seen that his face was not too relaxed.

——It is bound to be difficult for anyone to dig up father's grave.

"Miss Xu...?"

"Mr. Qiao, it's me." Xu Mingyi, dressed as a servant, cupped his hands and saluted him.

Looking at the impeccably dressed girl, Qiao Tian suppressed his astonishment, put down the wind lamp and the things in his hand, and raised his hand to salute: "Qiao is late, and Miss Xu has been waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, we just arrived not long ago."

"I don't know who this young master is..." Qiao Tian looked at the person beside Xu Mingyi. The young man was so outstanding both in appearance and temperament that it was difficult for anyone to ignore him.

"This is a good friend of mine." Xu Mingyi replied on Wu Chao's behalf: "The purpose of going out this time is to deceive others, so I entrusted this friend to help—Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, they are all trustworthy people."

Hearing her introducing himself like this, Wu Chao didn't say much, he just bowed his hands to Qiao Tian, ​​which was regarded as a greeting.

Xu Mingyi didn't mention Wu Chao's name, and Qiao Tian didn't ask much. Although he had some guesses in his heart, he didn't reveal the slightest bit, he just returned the courtesy.

Now that everyone has arrived, Xu Mingyi turned to look at Wu Chao: "Let someone do it."

Wu Chao nodded, and when he was about to give orders, he heard Qiao Tian say, "...wait a minute!"

Seeing the two of them looking at him, Qiao Tian had a wry smile in his eyes: "Please allow Qiao to toast my father first—just now when Qiao was approaching here, he suddenly saw a frightened bird in the mountains, presumably it must be my father or The gods have the intention of blaming..."

God... Blame it?

Xu Mingyi and Wu Chao looked at each other silently, and they didn't have much to say.

Qiao Tian knelt down in front of the grave, opened the altar of wine he had brought, and poured it slowly in front of the grave. With his movements, a rich aroma of wine floated around.

"Father, today is actually to find out the real cause of your death back then... My son knows that you don't want your son to dig into these old things, but as a son of man, there is absolutely no reason to ignore the death of your biological father knowing that there are other reasons behind it. Father If you really want to blame, please put the punishment on the son alone, and when we meet at the spring in the future, the son will make amends to his father..."

As he spoke, he bowed his head and kowtowed three times.

After getting up, he raised his hand and said to the four attendants in black with shovels in their hands: "Please trouble everyone."

The moment the long shovel sank into the grave, Qiao Tian's heart tensed up.

Miss Xu said that his father might still be alive in this world, rationality told him not to give too much hope, but he still stayed up all night because of this.

And whether this is a vain fantasy or not, there will be an answer soon...

After that, his eyes never left the grave for a moment.

Those who seemed to be dressed as ordinary attendants moved neatly and very quickly. With one shovel, the grave was gradually dug up, and then a deep pit was dug.

They didn't slow down until the sound of a shovel touching the coffin sounded.

As if the truth had come to light, as the surrounding soil was stripped away, a coffin slowly revealed its complete outline.

The moment the coffin lid was lifted, Qiao Tian clenched his fingers.

He hoped that the coffin was empty...

However, what he saw was not what he expected.

In the coffin that showed signs of decay, a corpse that had turned into white bones lay quietly inside. The clothes on the white bones could no longer tell the original color, as if they had been rotted by insects for many years, and were dry and thin. shroud.

Qiao Tian closed his eyes.

This shroud was put on by him himself for his father.

There are also those buried with his father at this time, in addition to some jade objects that his father loved in his life, there are also volumes of medical books, which he watched being put in there with his own eyes.

On the side, when Wu Chao was about to ask someone to go down to check, he saw that Xu Mingyi beside him had already taken out a white veil and tied it, and there was another pair of gloves.

Zhao Zhao is going to go down in person?

Seeing that she really wanted to go down, and the pit was dug quite steeply, Wu Chao quickly grabbed her arm and led her to jump down.

Xu Mingyi couldn't help turning to look at him.

Wu Chao: "I'll accompany you."

Although the girl in front of her didn't seem to need his company very much.

Xu Mingyi nodded, took out another gauze, and raised his hand to tie it on for him.

The corpse has been buried for more than eighteen years, and the smell of decay is almost gone, but wearing a veil is the rule here, and it has its own specialties.

In addition to the saying that Yin and Yang need to be separated, corpses that have not seen light for many years may also breed other harmful things to living people.

Wu Chao asked her to tie the veil for himself. The two of them were already very close. She raised her hand and put it on the back of his head, making the distance even closer. He could smell the aroma of herbs on the veil, while she The action is very fast, and it is fastened in two or three strokes.

Looking at the girl who raised her hand to salute the corpse in the coffin, said "what an offence", then bent over and stretched out her hand to check the corpse, she was still a little immersed in the action of putting on the veil just now and couldn't fully recover Wu Chao couldn't help feeling a little ashamed in silence - his love brain was actually himself.

This was really something he had never expected before...

The moment Xu Mingyi stretched out his hand, a few multi-legged reptiles swam out of the bone-black eye socket in shock.

The girl continued to observe without changing her face.

Following her movements, Wu Chao was also paying attention to the traces left on the bones. The spine connecting the head had obviously been broken, but if a knowledgeable person carefully observes the traces of fracture, it is not difficult to find one thing...

"The owner of this corpse did not die by hanging himself." After a while, Xu Mingyi said firmly.

Wu Chao nodded: "That's right, someone should have broken his neck and died."

What? !

Qiao Tian's eyes changed drastically when he heard the words, and he took another step forward, already reaching the edge of the grave.

But his father clearly hanged himself back then!

"Miss Xu, can you see clearly?!"
