Grandpa's words made sense.
When Wu Mian didn't cry, everything was fine.
When Wu Mian cried, everyone in the Butte tribe panicked, as if they had seen a ghost, and even drove us away.
Then something strange happened.
Then I had a hard night, basically not sleeping, because I slept for a while when I came back during the day, but at the moment I had something on my mind, and everyone basically squinted for a while.
Early in the morning, we headed towards Bart's tribe as planned.
But after arriving at the tribe, we were dumbfounded again.
Plans can never keep up with changes.
We planned to burn all the corpse-scented konjac before they matured, but when we stood in front of them, we found that the corpse-scented konjac that had only one bud yesterday had matured, and the ones on them were ripe.
The seeds are almost gone.
Growing up overnight, this speed is really scary.
The surrounding grass is covered with seeds, and it is not known how many have been blown away by the wind.
I am afraid that more people will suffer.
To our surprise, the mature Amorphophallus konjac plant yesterday had withered and withered, and all the seeds on it had flown away.
"The flowering period is so short," Grandpa said in surprise, "It's just a flash in the pan."
"Growing so fast, the flowering period is naturally short, only three days before and after.
I'm afraid that if we don't burn them today, they will wither tomorrow."
The old dog said.
"Dig it up and take a look to see what is underneath this flower."
Grandpa looked at the withered flower and said, "This flower is the source, and the others are produced from the seeds of this flower."
"Okay."
All of us started to move.
We had all the tools borrowed from the mine, including shovels, steel drills, and shovels.
But the digging was not very deep, only less than two meters, when the shovel clicked and something was dug.
The sound was still hollow, like something like a wooden box.
We dug down quickly, and it didn't take long.
It took half an hour to dig out.
The ground in the grassland was soft and easy to dig, not as hard as the mountains, and there were stones blocking it.
We dug out a section of wooden pile that was more than two meters long.
It was a very large wooden pile, so round that it would take two people to hug it.
The corpse-scented konjac comes straight out of the trunk.
It can be seen that there are nutrients in the trunk for the corpse-scented konjac to grow.
"This must have been hollowed out and used as a coffin."
Grandpa was slightly surprised and said, "Pull it up."
We put ropes on both ends of the tree trunk, and then used a shovel and a steel drill to pass through the ropes.
My brother, me, the old dog, and the fat man, the four of us, like coffin bearers, pulled up the wooden pile. come out.
Not to mention, it is quite heavy.
This wood has been buried in the soil for so long, but it has not rotted.
It has absorbed a lot of water in the soil, so it is very heavy.
It took a lot of effort to pull it out, and several people gathered around the trunk and looked at it carefully.
"Grandpa, you're really right.
Half of this is cut open.
As the coffin lid, people must be buried inside."
I looked at the gap carefully.
Although it was a tight seal, it could still be seen.

"There are a lot of nails densely packed on it, and it's completely sealed."
The fat man said.
"Pry it open."
Grandpa thought for a moment and said, "Although you are wearing a mask, be careful in case there is a trap."
Insert the shovel and steel drill along the gap, then press hard, and with a click, it opens, and many nails pop up.
Although the wood was not rotten, when it got wet, it became very soft and the nails came out easily.
Everyone looked intently at the cover.
The old dog and the fat man used a steel drill to push open the cover.
After the cover fell to the ground, they saw a corpse lying inside the hollowed-out tree trunk.
The corpse was completely decomposed and exuded a stench, but it was shriveled, probably because the nutrients had been absorbed by the corpse-scented konjac.
Judging from the clothing and headgear, she must be a Mongolian woman.
"Grandpa, look."
My brother was startled and pointed at the belly of the female corpse and said.
Following the direction my brother pointed, we were completely stunned, a sense of fear spread throughout our bodies, and the hairs on our hair stood on end.
In the belly of the female corpse, the belly was broken, but a small head popped out, the head of a baby.
"Pregnant woman" Grandpa gasped.
"What a sin."
The old dog shouted.
We followed the sound and saw the old dog looking at the inside of the coffin lid.
We saw scratches on the flat surface on the inside, and the five-finger marks were very obvious.
At this moment, I seemed to understand something.
My scalp exploded instantly, completely numb and without any feeling.
"The pregnant woman buried alive," Grandpa gritted his teeth and said, "It is simply inhumane.
No matter for any reason, even if this pregnant woman is heinous and deserves death, the child in her belly is innocent."
After finishing speaking, tears burst out of Grandpa's eyes and he cried in anger.
Not to mention being a grandpa, I cried too.
I am a new father with a lot of fatherly love, but when I encounter something like this, my heart hurts.
"Buried alive, and with this corpse-scented konjac, what kind of evil is this?"
Grandpa wiped the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "No, I have to ask someone to see what is going on, and is there anything wrong with this?"
Legend or something, we can’t burn this female corpse rashly.”
"Grandpa, there is nowhere to look.
We asked the workers yesterday, and they all said they had just arrived.
They had never even been out of the mining area, let alone here, and most of them couldn't speak Mongolian.
"My brother said.
"That's right, Old Taoist."
The old dog was startled and asked, "Do you remember what the foreman said?"
"What?"
We were startled at the same time.
"It is said that the workers who came with us are all substitutes, that is, the previous workers have left their jobs, so the vacant positions may be due to quitting the job, or they may be dead, it may be due to a mining disaster, but it may also be It was killed by the seeds," said the old dog. hiss I took a breath of air-conditioning, and my grandfather and brother's faces turned pale.
From this point of view, this foreman was simply a personal trafficker.
He recruits workers not to do work, but to die.
It seems he knows a lot and may be the mastermind "We must find the foreman, he is the breakthrough point."
Grandpa looked at the female corpse and said: "You four, close the coffin lid and put it back in place.
We will go back now and look for the foreman.
Even if we are looking for If not, ask those workers, I don’t believe there are no old employees among the hundreds of workers.”

"Okay."
We followed Grandpa's instructions, put the female body back to its original place, and then covered it with soil again.
Afterwards, I drove back to the dormitory of the mine and asked dozens of workers.
All of them shook their heads like rattles and said they were new here.
Everyone in the dormitory asked, and the others went down to the mines, so they could only ask again when they came back.
It was as if the foreman had disappeared and never came back, so we could only go back to our respective dormitories.
But when I returned to my grandfather's dormitory, I found a note left on the table in the dormitory.
When we saw the note, we were instantly dumbfounded
