Chapter 666
Xuan'er nodded like a pounding garlic, no matter what Jiang Zhimian asked, he would answer honestly.

Soon, Jiang Zhimian figured out the situation.

In the mine, a few able-bodied people will be taken away every two or three days, and they will enter the mine to work at night.

But after these people go in, they will never come out again.

But everyone came here as a refugee and didn't know each other, so even if they disappeared, there was no one to help them out.

If Xuan'er hadn't found Jiang Zhimian this time, I'm afraid this secret will continue to be buried.

"I see, you follow me back to the palace first, but you can only sleep in the backyard and have to work, is that acceptable?" Jiang Zhimian asked,

Xuan'er nodded and agreed.

After taking Xuan'er back, Jiang Zhimian waited for Chi Mohan to come back.

After seeing him, he recounted all the conversations he had with Xuan'er today.

She is now [-]% sure that those who disappeared have something to do with saltpeter.

Perhaps Mei Zhao was worried that they would leak the saltpetre when they came back, so he regarded their lives as one-off.

After using it, it was killed directly.

"The corpse should not be in the mine, otherwise it will smell." Chi Mohan analyzed first.

So, where should new corpses appear every two or three days?

After thinking for a while, the two conjectured at the same time.

"Under the cliff!"

Under the cliff, there are piles of dead miners, the stench is suffocating, and the corpses are piled up with corpses. Usually, everyone has to walk around. If they are thrown here, it will be difficult for people to find them.

"According to the time, Xuan'er's parents should have been thrown away not long ago, and they are not rotten, so they can be identified." Jiang Zhimian said.

If you can be sure of this, you can follow Mei Zhao the next time he makes a move, and follow the clues to find those saltpeters.

The most critical problem now is that they don't know what Xuan'er's parents look like.

It's good to take Xuan'er to identify directly, but for a child, it's easy to leave a psychological shadow.

After thinking about it, Jiang Zhimian took the drawing board to find Xuan'er in the backyard and asked him to describe his parents.

Then I started to draw according to the described appearance. Of course it is not possible to be exactly the same, but it is still possible to have four or five points of similarity.

This is enough, looking for it from a fresh corpse, it should be found soon.

After Jiang Zhimian put away the portrait, he was ready to go to the stables to ride a horse.

When he was about to untie the reins, Chi Mohan stopped him again, "I'll just go, it's late at night, be careful not to be hit by something dirty."

Jiang Zhimian didn't care much, "Are you worried that I'll be scared when I see it? Don't worry, I'm bold, let's go together."

Unable to resist Jiang Zhimian, Chi Mohan had no choice but to agree.

But he told Jiang Zhimian again and again, "If you are afraid, tell me, and I will bring you back immediately."

"Okay." Jiang Zhimian nodded.

The two rushed to the bottom of the cliff.

Before getting close, I could already smell a strong smell of corpses, which was really disgusting.

With so many corpses piled up and fermented together, it is simply underestimated if it is not called a biochemical weapon.

Even though Jiang Zhimian had experienced many battles and smelled all kinds of smells, he still couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, Chi Mohan was prepared, took out a handkerchief, and handed it to Jiang Zhimian, "Smoked with gardenia, it will be much better."

Jiang Zhimian thanked Gardenia for her sacrifice in his heart, and then covered his mouth and nose with the handkerchief.

With the help of the gardenia-scented handkerchief, Jiang Zhimian felt much better.

Holding a lantern, he searched inside the corpse.

Soon, she found a fresh corpse in the inner position.

I walked over to check, only to find that their faces were all black, and their bodies were also black, but they could obviously feel wet, and there was a strong smell of blood.

There is blood, but the body is too dark, and the blood can't be seen even if it soaks in.

Obviously, he was killed immediately after coming out of the mine tunnel.

Jiang Zhimian put the lantern on a high place, took a clean handkerchief from his arms, wanted to wipe their cheeks, and wanted to see who Xuan'er's parents were.

The first one is not.

Neither is the second.

When it reaches the third one, it looks a bit similar to what Xuaner described.

Jiang Zhimian put down his handkerchief, and wanted to find the portrait to confirm.

But the corpse in front of him suddenly started to move, coughing weakly, "Help...help me!"

If Jiang Zhimian wasn't a young man of the new century, he probably would have jumped in fright.

Damn, at night in the pile of dead people, suddenly a corpse spoke and asked you to save her.

Are you afraid?
Anyway, the author is quite scared.

But Jiang Zhimian was not afraid. Out of the basic qualities of a doctor, he subconsciously touched the man's carotid artery.

It's still beating, just very faintly.

It is true that he is not dead.

"Hurry up, Chi Mohan, this person is not dead, take her out and put her on the flat ground, I want to check!" Jiang Zhimian said.

Chi Mohan complied.

Jiang Zhimian also hurried out, but before going out, he didn't forget to touch the carotid arteries of several other corpses.

The others were really dead, and there was no reaction at all.

And this woman is also in danger.

She was stabbed in the chest and went straight through her body. She lost a lot of blood, and Jiang Zhimian didn't bring too much medicine with her.

I could only take out the golden sore medicine I made earlier from my bosom and sprinkle it on the wound. I also tore off my clothes and wrapped the wound tightly to prevent the blood from flowing out as much as possible.

The other thing is to take it back for treatment.

It's just that in this case, if she was brought back on horseback, the bumps would be too severe, which might cause secondary injuries.

If it is serious, people will burp before they reach the palace.

"Ride back to get my medicine box, and get another carriage. I'll wait for you here." Jiang Zhimian said.

Chi Mohan was reluctant.

He was really worried about leaving the little fox alone in this kind of place.

But Jiang Zhimian's expression turned serious, "Go, I'm fine, you come back as soon as possible, if you can save her, we might know the secret about Mei Zhao, go quickly."

After repeated urging, Chi Mohan had no choice but to get off his horse.

But he gave Jiang Zhimian his saber, "Protect yourself, I'll be right back."

"Okay." Jiang Zhimian nodded.

When Chi Mohan's hoofbeats gradually faded away, Jiang Zhimian used the light of the lantern to illuminate the people on the ground.

The pupils began to dilate, and the teeth were clenched, already reaching the limit.

If he didn't do anything else, he might not be able to wait until Chi Mohan came back with the medicine box.

Jiang Zhimian thought for a while, then lightly patted that person's cheek, and leaned into her ear to speak.

"Wake up, your son Xuan'er is still waiting for you, you know? Do you miss him?"

Hearing this, the man spat out two words with great effort and pain, "Inside...inside!"
