Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

"Zhao Xiaobing, you mean to say that I'm sending you money again, right?"

"Hey, Sister Ran, you can't say that. You pay the money and we do the work. We're not taking your money for nothing!"

"Okay, stop being so funny! Is there any news from the place you were asked to keep an eye on?"

"This..." Zhao Xiaobing scratched his head, his eyes darting around.

Luo Xiaoran understood immediately and handed over a bundle quickly and neatly.

Zhao Xiaobing opened it and saw, my God, so many big coins strung together, it must be about one string of coins, right?

One guan of money is equal to one tael of silver. How many meat buns can you buy with that?

The one with white flour and pork filling is the best!

Zhao Xiaobing swallowed secretly and held the bag tightly in his hand.

"This morning, a crazy woman was wandering around the gate of the county government office. She happened to run into An Ruquan's servant. She talked to the servant and he went back home.

Not long after, An Ruquan's servant led five constables out of the city, and the woman left as well."

"Is that all?" Luo Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Xiaobing quietly.

"Well?" Zhao Xiaobing began to look up and down again, his eyes rolling around, but he didn't look at Luo Xiaoran.

Luo Xiaoran looked at his bratty appearance and couldn't help but laugh and scold:

"This amount of money is enough for you and your friends to eat meat buns for a month. Don't be too greedy, or you might end up overeating."

A flattering expression immediately appeared on Zhao Xiaobing's face, and he held the bag in his arms even tighter.

"The woman seemed to say something like 'Hexi Village', 'Du something Qing', 'reward money' or something like that. I was too far away to hear what she said clearly."

Luo Xiaoran and Du Kongqing looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

The reason why Yu Hongmei reported the incident was probably for money.

"How did that crazy woman meet An Ruquan's servant?"

"The crazy woman came to the gate of the county government office, and the servant came out, and the two bumped into each other.

correct!

There were two people following the boy, carrying a large red box, which was very eye-catching." Zhao Xiaobing added.

"What box?" Luo Xiaoran asked.

"I don't know about that. The boy talked to that crazy woman and asked the two people behind him to carry the box away."

"Where did you carry it to?"

"Look at the direction, it's the direction of our Powa Lane."

Powa Lane is the poorest place in Fuyuan County, with people from all walks of life. There are also wastelands and wild forests on the edge. Why would An Ruquan's people carry boxes here?

"I saw them carry the box to the wild woods."

A little boy next to Zhao Xiaobing said that he was the youngest and the fairest among the group of children.

"Little bastard, did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yeah!" The little guy nodded heavily.

Zhao Xiaobing's face turned pale in an instant.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that barren forest?" Luo Xiaoran asked.

Zhao Xiaobing's saliva, which had just started to flow when he thought of the big meat buns, began to flow again.

But this time it was not because of greed, but because of fear.

“The lives of people in Po Wa Lane are worthless, and we can’t afford medicine when we are sick.

If you can hold on, hold on. If you can’t, just die. The bodies were eventually dragged into the wild woods.

There is a mass grave in the wild woods, which is often haunted.

……

Wild woods.

"Xiao Ran, it's getting dark soon, let's go back!"

Du Kongqing held Luo Xiaoran's arm tightly, looking around nervously.

Most of the trees in the wild forest are poplars. Their leaves are all yellow, shriveled and broken, falling down in circles.

Luo Xiaoran thought it was very beautiful.

Du Kongqing found it quite creepy.

From time to time, the cries of crows could be heard from the treetops that were towering into the sky, which was indeed quite creepy.

Luo Xiaoran nodded, indicating that she understood Du Kongqing's fear.

Ancient people believed in and feared ghosts and gods the most.

Luo Xiaoran took Du Kongqing and walked in the woods for a long time, and finally found the graveyard that Zhao Xiaobing mentioned.

Of course, the credit for finding the mass grave goes to Du Kongqing.

What happened was that Luo Xiaoran, who was walking, first felt her arm tighten and was painfully grabbed by Du Kongqing.

Before she cried out in pain, Du Kongqing cried out first.

"what!"

Then, Luo Xiaoran was dragged to the ground by Du Kongqing, with a bruised butt.

Luo Xiaoran took out the thing that was touching her noble buttocks from behind her buttocks.

Well, it's a skull.

"what!"

Du Kongqing, who had already fallen to the ground, rolled and crawled away from Luo Xiaoran who was holding the skull.

Luo Xiaoran: ...Weren’t we pressed tightly together just now?

Looking forward, there was a leg bone next to the shoe that Du Kongqing had dropped.

This leg bone should be the reason why she fell just now.

"It's okay, just dead bones.

Look over there, those white ones, and those in the grass, they are all!

A mass grave, that's normal!"

Luo Xiaoran pointed to a small mound of earth not far away and a bunch of weeds nearby and said.

After picking up Du Kongqing's shoes and handing them to her, Luo Xiaoran turned around and looked closely at the graveyard.

There are piles of bones and overgrown weeds. This is her objective view.

Desolate, eerie and terrifying, this should be the subjective opinion of the still trembling Du Kongqing.

“You are going to be a female doctor, so you need to be used to seeing life and death.

Those who can sleep here were all miserable people in their lives. We are all miserable people, and they will not harm us.

The key is to protect people like An Ruquan, who were born into a wealthy family but exploited the common people."

Du Kongqing didn't say anything. Luo Xiaoran was about to turn around to look at her, but found that she was following closely behind him.

Du Kongqing's big face coming towards her actually frightened Luo Xiaoran:

"You were so quiet. I wasn't afraid at first, but I was scared by you."

Du Kongqing looked embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Xiaoran, I think what you said makes sense, they won't harm us."

Luo Xiaoran nodded, this boy is teachable.

"Build up your courage here, so that if someone seeking medical treatment has their stomach cut open and their intestines spill out, you won't be scared."

Du Kongqing thought about the scene described by Luo Xiaoran and couldn't help swallowing.

She felt that in that situation, she wouldn't be able to cure the other person, right?

"Although most of them are bones, there are also a few corpses that have been rotting for a short time. I'm afraid they will attract wild dogs. Let's find a box quickly!" Luo Xiaoran said.

After searching around, I found no trace of the box, only a piece of freshly turned soil.

Maybe the box is buried underneath.

Luo Xiaoran picked up a dead tree and gave it to Du Kongqing, then she started digging with a machete!

Not long after, they dug up something hard.

Luo Xiaoran pushed the soil to both sides, and a red wooden board appeared in front of her.

This is the red box that Zhao Xiaobing mentioned.

Luo Xiaoran and Du Kongqing continued to dig down and soon dug out the entire box.

When he opened it, Du Kongqing didn't scream this time, but ran to the side to vomit.
