Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

Chapter 87 Your father is gone
There is a lot of uninhabited wasteland nearby, the weather is humid, it is impossible to burn the body, the action must be hasty, and it is impossible to bury it, that is, throw it into a mountain col.

Shen Qing raised his head and looked forward, searching for a place where he could dispose of the body.

She took Xiao Huang and searched all the way. After two miles, she suddenly remembered that if she went so rashly, what would she do if she ran into that group of people?

The hesitant steps only stopped for a few seconds, and then fell calmly.

We are already halfway there, there is no reason to return empty-handed.

Crescent Bay goes to the north, right to the east, and after several miles, farmland gradually appears, and the rest is a barren slope.

This place is not suitable for farming and belongs to ownerless land. However, even if it is ownerless, if it is mined and the government knows about it, it will still have to register and collect taxes.

Just like the ten acres of land left by your mother, when it was abandoned at first, the government didn't care about it. But once it is reclaimed, taxes will be collected. If you encounter the unreasonable tax collector, you will be held accountable!

The word "official" has two meanings, no matter how you say it, he is right.

Shen Qing was thinking wildly as he walked deeper into the wasteland.

She didn't walk casually, there were scattered footprints on the road.

Although Xiao Huang is timid, his sense of smell is still very good. He sniffs in front, and Shen Qing follows behind. If he encounters a wild animal that suddenly jumps out and scares Xiao Huang, she has to pat it to encourage it to continue. forward.

Somewhere along the way, she heard the sound of water flowing, and Xiao Huang suddenly stopped.

Shen Qing dug through a dense patch of wild grass, and found it was empty under his feet. It was about ten meters deep above, and about ten meters wide from the opposite side. This was a mountain stream.

"Woof!" Xiao Huang barked at the foot of the mountain stream.

Shen Qing lay down and looked around. She vaguely felt that there was something underneath. She looked around and finally found a place with a gentle slope. She climbed and slid down.

I couldn't help it even though my whole body was covered in mud.

Xiao Huang also slid down, but luckily he was blocked by her, otherwise he would have had to dive into the water.

Looking from above, I thought the mountain stream was very thin, but when I came down, I realized that it was quite spacious below.

And the foreign objects she saw were piled on the shore, which were more than a dozen dead bodies.

Shen Qing was a little uncomfortable with being face to face with them all of a sudden. This scene was too abrupt.

She calmed down for a while and then managed to suppress the trembling in her heart.

Damn!It's scary.

Xiao Huang didn't know whether he was scared or cold, he squatted at her feet and shivered.

"Do you think we should go over and take a look, or should we just... go home?"

"Woohoo!" Xiao Huang moved back, obviously answering her.

Shen Qing broke off a branch and slowly approached the pile of dead bodies. When the distance was almost there, she poked each one with the branch.

Um!It didn't move, and it looked like it was dead.

She became a little bolder, since a dead person couldn't jump up and chop her down, and it was broad daylight, so she was afraid of a bird.

Shen Qing cheered himself up and moved closer.

Probably because she had seen too much, she became bolder. After a while, she actually started to pull on the dead body.

This group of people looked like well-trained guards. She didn't want the dead man's money, but she could use weapons and other things.She desperately wanted to buy a dagger for self-defense, but unfortunately, in the blacksmith shop, such things were high-precision products. Unlike the popular kitchen knives, those things were extremely expensive.

Occasionally I think about it, those princes and princes who raise armies are all extremely wealthy!
She took out a three-inch long black dagger from a man.

When I pulled it out, I saw that it was a good knife with a cold light shining on it.

After careful inspection, there was no engraving or any logo on it. Well, it can be used.

One dagger is enough. She won't be stupid enough to pick up a few more and exchange them for silver. It's better to do this less often.

There is nothing to see, but these dead bodies will get hot soon if they are left here. In case of an epidemic, there will be water next to them!
She didn't bring a shovel, and even if she did, how long would she have to dig alone?

So let’s burn it with fire!
She picked up some dead branches, found a pine tree, and broke off some pine branches. This stuff contains natural oils and can easily burn.

She had brought flint and steel with her, and with great difficulty she lit the fire, throwing up the branches like a barbecue.

The smell of burning corpses was unpleasant, so when the fire started, she followed the coercion and climbed up.

When the fire goes out, these corpses will attract a bunch of predators, and the rainy season is coming. When there are a few heavy rains, the remaining bones will be washed away by the water, and no trace will be left.

As for who these people are and who killed them, she doesn't care at all. The less she knows, the safer it is, so be less curious!
It won't be a good thing anyway.

By the time she saw the creek in front of her house, it was already two hours later.

From a distance, she saw a few people tugging at each other in front of her door. Shen Qing's expression changed and she quickly ran over with Xiao Huang.

Before she even arrived, she heard Grandma Shen crying, "Don't stop me, let me go back and take a look."

The person who stopped her was not only Shen Hui, but also Zhou Laidi. She seemed to be in a hurry, her hair was messy, even her shoes were falling off one after another, and her face was full of exhaustion.

"Mom! It's better to wait for Shen Qing to come back and ask her to make an idea." Zhou Laidi felt worried.

Shen Hui just raised her hand to wipe her eyes and kept crying.

Suddenly, she saw her sister running towards her, "Qing'er is back, Qing'er!" She rushed forward as if she had found her backbone.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Girl Qing, your father is gone..." Grandma Shen cried and wiped her tears.

Zhou Laidi said quickly: "No, no, my uncle is still here and not dead. Ouch, what did you say? Don't cry. Just listen to what I have to say!"

Shen Hui also came to her senses, "Second Aunt, didn't you say that my house was hit by a fire and it was completely destroyed?"

Shen Qing also stared at her, "Second aunt, don't be impatient, speak slowly."

Zhou Laidi swallowed, and without daring to pause, she said quickly: "Last night, there was a sudden fire in your house. When we rushed over, the fire engulfed the roof. You also know that it was made of thatch. Once it catches sparks, it will burn out in the blink of an eye. The fire spreads so fast that there is no time to save him. Fortunately, your father ran out from the back door. His life is not serious, but he was burned. When I came, the village chief called for someone I made a stretcher and asked your second uncle and the others to carry the person to the town and seek treatment from a doctor. I will come over and let you know."

Granny Shen breathed a sigh of relief, softened, and sat down on the ground, "You said when you came here, it's gone, it's all gone, the fever is gone. I thought... Oh! As long as the person is fine, it will be fine."

Shen Hui also breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's go see dad quickly?"

Shen Qing thought more, "Second aunt, where is my father's injury? How big is the area?"

"The injuries are on the arms and back. The whole back is burned. Fortunately, the clothes can be taken off, otherwise it would be terrible."

Shen Qing's heart dropped more and more as he listened, "I'm afraid it's dangerous."
