Chapter three hundred and forty nine

We placed the bowls in front of two coffins as Zhang Yuan said, took out Zhang Yuan from his arms and tied a string of copper coins with a rope. After untied it, four silver coins were placed in each bowl. Then the four of us shouted in unison.

"I'll give you a little care to you for your nanny."

After a half minute, there was no movement in the silver coins in the bowl.

“Hand it.”

We lifted the lids of the two coffins, and the bodies inside were still fresh, but they were cold all over, and they were like catching ice. We lifted them out and placed them next to the coffin. But the next step was more difficult. Who would go out with whom first? Leng Zheng looked at me, and I would look at Leng Zheng.

Li En said: "Let us both try it first. If something goes wrong, you two are good at it and you can save us."

Li En refers to him and Ouyang Lan. I think this method is feasible, Leng Zheng nodded. However, Ouyang Lan said: "No, what if there is danger? I want to go with Shi Xiao."

Leng Zheng glared at me and I smiled slightly, "Then you two are together, remember to protect Li En."

"Cover the coffin lid for me." Leng Zheng jumped into the coffin and said angrily.

I handed him a coin in the bowl, then covered the coffin legs, and then covered Li En's coffin lid. I didn't know if it was breathable inside, so I knocked on the coffin and hoped to respond. But Zhang Yuan shouted at the door: "Stop talking, carry the body over quickly."

The corpse was as stiff as a stone slab. I held the corpse and Ouyang Lan helped hold the silver coin. After arriving at the door, Zhang Yuan did not speak, but bit his index fingers with both hands, then drew a circle around the silver coin, and then asked Ouyang Lan to let go of his hand. The silver coin was placed on it and would not fall off.

Zhang Yuan said hurriedly: "Put the body in the carriage."

Then he carried another corpse over, drew a circle around the silver coins on his forehead in the same way, and then put the carriage on. Zhang Yuan said: "You are waiting here, don't open the lid of the coffin during this period, unless..."

"Unless what?" I asked.

Zhang Yuan sighed, and I knew what to say later. I said respectfully: "Please."

Zhang Yuan drove away slowly in the carriage, leaving Ouyang Lan and I to stay in the house. Although it was covered by the shroud, the scene of the ghost passing by was still very terrifying. Ouyang Lan and I were guarding the coffin, paying close attention to the nearby movements.

After half an hour, there was no movement, but we heard a bang from the bowl. We were thinking that there was a sound coming from it, as if it was from the bowl on the coffin board. When I saw a blood-stained silver coin in the empty bowl, the questions in my heart surged out like a tide.

At this time, I heard a sound outside the door, and Zhang Yuan drove back in the carriage. Ouyang Lan and I looked at each other. After I saw Zhang Yuan get off the car, I hurriedly wanted to go up and help him lift the body, but found that the body had disappeared. He had an iron shovel in his hand, and there was soil on his trousers and shoes.

Before we could speak, Zhang Yuanxian said: "They two have safely left the charity village, and you are next."

I thought something was wrong. Zhang Yuantou had a few strands of white hair, but he didn't say anything when asked what happened. He kept urging us to open the coffin and lie in it quickly. Ouyang Lan and I took the bowl away and found that the corpse was lying on the coffin, not Leng Zheng.

Moreover, the silver coins on the forehead were replaced with silver coins without blood. Ouyang Lan and I have been guarding each other all the time. No one has ever approached me. How did this be done? Now it is not the time to worry about this problem. I lifted the body out and Zhang Yuan also came to help.

He handed us the two blood-covered silver coins in the bowl, put them on our foreheads, and then pulled the coffin lid. I only heard a bang on the coffin board, which was the sound of the bottom of the bowl hitting the coffin board. Then I couldn't hear any sound. I wanted to push the coffin board open to take a look, but Zhang Yuan instructed me not to open my eyes or respond no matter what I heard.

I was a little worried about Ouyang Lan's situation. At the beginning, she was still scared, and I was afraid that she would not remember Zhang Yuan's words. Although I had already told her when I was covering the coffin lid.

Then I heard the sound of running water, followed by various noisy sounds, which made me dizzy and fell asleep unknowingly. I don’t know how long it took, and I didn’t dream. I just felt that I had been sleeping in a dark space for a long time. When I felt the pain of breathing, I wanted to struggle to escape.

At this time, everything Zhang Yuan said to me became a wind in his ears, and the oppression from his chest aroused my survival**. I pushed up with both hands, pushing desperately, and the last hand penetrated the darkness in front of me and touched the air. I knew that I was buried less than half a meter from the ground at this moment.

My body twisted and struggled with distance. Finally, when I was about to climb out, my two pairs of solid and powerful hands grabbed me. I pulled me out of the ground, and I breathed in fresh air in big mouthfuls, regardless of how many pictures I had eaten in my mouth. When I calmed down a little and saw a hand stretching out from behind my legs, I instantly remembered that it was Ouyang Lan's hand.

I pushed the two of them away and started digging near the hand. Within a minute, Ouyang Lan's face had already been dug out. Leng Zheng and Li En also came to help. At this time, Ouyang Lan's breathing had stopped, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat, and I hurried to pinch Ouyang Lan's people.

Half a minute later, Ouyang Lan coughed violently twice, and the soil sprayed out of her mouth splashed all over me. Her eyes slowly opened, and her eyelashes that were still stuck in the soil trembled slightly. Ouyang Lan looked at me, then looked at Li En and Leng Zheng beside her, and asked weakly: "Am I in the underworld?"

"No, you are still alive." I couldn't help but hold her tightly in my arms. Ouyang Lan's violent coughing made me let her go. Ouyang Lan and I were covered in dirt. What surprised us the most was that we were lying in the coffin, but after waking up, they were lying underground.

And he was almost buried alive. This guy Zhang Yuan didn't want to kill us and then take over the money alone.

But Leng Zheng and Li En told him that he had come here too, and he was already lying underground when he woke up.

"Then where are we now? Where are Zhang Yuan people?" I asked.

Leng Zheng and Li En sighed, and Li En said sadly: "You can see it yourself."

The two of them stood aside and I saw a pile of graves around me, and I saw a carriage next to a pile of graves not far away. However, the carriage was already dilapidated and the axle was broken. The body of the carriage was even more dilapidated and worn.

I helped Ouyang Lan up, Leng Zheng and Li En, walked to the carriage, and on the carriage, I saw silver hair on my head, wrinkled skin all over my body and covered with age spots. I leaned quietly against Zhang Yuan, who was not breathing at all. The five horses were already skinny and lying on the ground motionless.

Seeing this, I seemed to understand something.

Li En sighed: "Zhang Yuan used his life to exchange with the owner of the manor in order to save us, so he died and we came out."

Unexpectedly, this result was the end. Zhang Yuan knew early in the morning that people who entered the charity village could not get out unless they exchanged their lifespan. So he did not tell us, but helped us silently. I wanted to bury him with gratitude to him, but he looked at the position of his collarbone with a black mark.

I was curious and pulled away that piece of clothing. It was the Five Poisons Seal! The unique mark of Shadow Guard!

Why did Zhang Yuan exchange his life for our safety? I instantly understood that there were two more hot tears flowing down my eyes uncontrollably. It was not what I wanted to cry, but another person in my body was crying. I could feel that he was very sad.

The three of them were infected by my tears and patted me on the back, "I didn't expect there would be such a good person in the world."
