Chapter 289
"Bang bang bang——" The sound of wooden warehouses sounded not far away, startled the morning birds in the mountains and forests, and also woke up the sleeping Anxi.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and with a glance, he immediately understood that he had entered another world.
And obviously, this world is not as peaceful as the previous one. There was another sound of a wooden barn outside the window, and there was also a faint scream of grief.
Anxi got up and opened the window, looking in the direction of the sound.But here is the forest again, the line of sight is blocked by trees, and I can't see anything.
He closed his eyes and listened attentively. He had just crossed over and hadn't cultivated any inner strength yet, so the range he could hear was limited, and there was silence at this moment.
After thinking about it, Anxi decided to go over and take a look. After all, it's better to find out what happened at the door of the house.
He checked the surroundings first, and found nothing unusual, so he put on a simple, non-distinctive long coat and trousers before going out cautiously.
Anxi identified the direction below. According to the voice he heard before, it should be in the southeast direction.Although there is no internal strength now, the traces of martial arts practice have long been engraved into the soul, so even in the rugged mountains and forests, he still manages to land lightly, and ordinary people cannot hear it.
The mountains here are obviously undeveloped, there are no suitable mountain roads to walk on, the vegetation is still very lush, and the road is extremely inconvenient. After walking for a long time, I vaguely discovered the possible accident location.
From the gaps in the vegetation, Anxi vaguely saw a dirt road, which was not very wide, but could accommodate a carriage.
Anxi did not rush to the dirt road, but found a suitable tree and quickly climbed up to the top of the tree.The field of vision here is wide, and the situation on the dirt road can be seen clearly.
The road was in a mess, with tracks of vehicles and horses, footprints, and large areas of blood, but other than that, there was no one there.
Observed the distribution of bloodstains, the middle one was the most, and then extended to the northeast.
Climbing down the tree, he walked through the jungle in the direction of the bloodstains. After walking for about ten minutes, he saw a tragedy in the world.
Under a big tree not far from the dirt road, there was a newly dug pit full of corpses. The criss-crossing knife scars and wooden warehouse wounds on the corpses were obviously the source of the blood on the dirt road.
The person who dug the pit was very casual. They just threw the corpse down and shoveled the soil a few times. They didn't even cover the corpse completely, but they just made people messy.
Anxi thought for a while, then quickly returned to his home, found a hoe and a shovel, dug up the corpses one by one, and then identified them one by one, he was dead, only on an elegantly dressed woman, there was still There is still a breath left.
There was a knife wound on the woman's back, and the bones were deep enough. The clothes on the back were stained reddish brown with blood, and she was dying from excessive blood loss.
He quickly pulled out the sewing needle, and stabbed hard at the woman's big holes.There is no way, just crossing, the only needle at home can save lives.
The pierced places can stimulate the vitality of life, hoping to save this woman's life.
After the needle was inserted, it took a while to take effect, so Anxi had no choice but to continue the previous work and dig out all the corpses. After identification, there were no living people.
After observing these corpses, it can be seen from the clothes that this should be a wealthy family traveling with servants. Among them, a young man in his 30s should be the head of the house. He is wearing a long gown made of silk and satin.
The same as him is the woman who is still breathing, also wearing a satin skirt, about 30 years old.The two should be husband and wife.
The other men and women should be servants, dressed in simple and easy-to-work clothes, sewn with cotton cloth, depending on the fabric and style, very similar to Tujia cloth and local shirts in the Republic of China.
The characteristics of the clothes of the Republic of China are quite obvious. Anxi thinks that he can't make a mistake, especially some servants have braids of Qing Dynasty men, while the master has short hair.
Knowing what kind of world this is, Anxi didn't waste time, dug a bigger hole with a hoe and a shovel, and then put a mat on the bottom of the hole, which was also brought from home, and then arranged the corpses one by one, Cover them with a piece of white cloth and a summer mat.
Conditions are limited, that's the only way to go, at least let them go to the ground, and don't have to expose their corpses to the wilderness.
During this process, the woman slowly woke up. Seeing Anxi's movements, she was in a trance for a while, and then suddenly realized something, and screamed hoarsely.
"My child, my child..."
Anxi turned her head and found that she was already awake. She leaned closer to hear what she said clearly, and quickly comforted her, "There is no child's body here, so there should be no accident."
The woman's eyes were filled with tears, her mouth moved, and her voice was soft and almost inaudible, "Please, please, save my child, in a hole, a hole, covered with dead branches. That, that direction ..."
She tried her best to raise her hand, but before she could point out the direction with her fingers, she slumped to the ground.Anxi was startled, and immediately went to lift the woman's eyelids, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly.
Without internal strength, just relying on these few embroidery needles, there is no way to save the woman's life.
The most important thing now is the two children, but unfortunately the woman did not point out the location of the children in the end.
Anxi had no choice but to go back to the dirt road where the incident happened to search. The footsteps there were messy, big and small, men and women. After careful identification, he finally found a few very small footprints.
I measured it with my hand, yes, it was the woman's footprint, a three-inch golden lotus.
After that, Anxi searched all the way along the direction pointed by the toes of the footprints. When he got out of the range of the dirt road, the mark was gone.He looked closer to see that there were trample marks on the grass.
Soon, he found a clue that was barely a clue. It was a slightly flattened grass field, with the tip of the grass slanting in one direction.
According to this method, he searched for a while, and found a large amount of blood in one place. If there is no accident, the woman was killed here.
In other words, her child is likely to be hiding nearby. After all, a three-inch golden lotus can't go far.After careful observation for a while, I found a place where dead branches were pushing, which seemed to be man-made traces.
Anxi took a few steps forward, pushed aside the dead branches, and found a small hole.
The hole is really small, not enough for an adult, but more than enough for two children.
In the cave, there were two children about three years old, a boy and a girl. They covered each other's mouths and hugged each other tightly.
The two were similar in appearance, exquisite and cute. At this time, they both opened a pair of big round eyes, looking at Anxi in horror.
Anxi comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I was sent by your mother to rescue you, come, give uncle your hand, and uncle will carry you up."
The two remained silent, as if they were thinking about what Anxi said. After a while, the boy said cautiously, "Uncle, uncle, where are my parents? I want my parents."
These words were like some kind of forbidden curse, the girl burst into tears when she heard the words, "Wow, mother, mother, I want mother, blood, there is a lot of blood, I also want daddy."
Hearing his sister's cry, the boy hurriedly hugged his sister, imitating his mother in his memory, and patted her body, but it was useless, the girl cried louder and louder, and gradually became heart-piercing.
At this moment, the boy couldn't hold it anymore, and tears fell down his face, from whimpering to howling.
Anxi was helpless, leaned over and took the two little guys out together, stroking their backs to comfort them, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll take you to find your parents later."
The boy sobbed and asked, "Is my father and mother dead? I heard Brother Xiao An said that you will die if you bleed."
Anxi patted his head, but didn't reply.
As if feeling something, the boy cried even louder, and the two little guys cried heartily as if they were in a competition.
Anxi knew that they had experienced such a terrible thing when they were only three years old, and the fear in their hearts needed to be vented, so she let them cry until they were tired of crying and fell asleep.
After that, he carried the two children to the place where the corpses were, and put all the corpses on mats, the woman and her husband together, then covered them with white cloth mats, and finally filled them with soil.
After spending the whole morning, Anxi made a mound and erected a tombstone in front of the mound.
Nothing was written on the tombstone for the time being. When the two little guys woke up, ask them if they knew the names of their parents and other people, and then engrave them on it.
After that, he didn't stay any longer, and Anxi went back to his home directly with the two little guys in his arms.
After returning home, Anxi took the pulse of the two of them. They were overly frightened and passed out from crying. They probably would have to sleep for a long time, but luckily they didn't damage any foundations, so they can just take care of themselves.
After that, they took a bath for the two of them. During this period, they didn't wake up, which showed that they were exhausted.Put them to sleep on the sofa in the living room and find a blanket to cover them.
There is no way, the children are too young, and I am afraid that they will have nightmares, so I have to watch closely.
I didn't eat in the morning, and I was busy all morning. Anxi was already hungry, so he went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for himself, and took out a casserole to cook porridge.
This can be boiled all the time, and it can be eaten when the two little ones wake up.
Lunch was ready soon, and after cleaning up the kitchen, Anxi went back to the living room and sat on the sofa, watching the two children while searching the Internet.
In the Republic of China, it was actually a very simple matter to apply for an identity. You can find a police station in a small place and say that your identity, Yudie, has been robbed.
As for whether this identity is true or not, the person who handles the matter is too lazy to verify whether this is feasible.
Therefore, what Anxi needs now is money, and it is easy to do things with money.Plus, he needs to find their families for the two little ones.
It is estimated that their parents have passed away, but there should be other relatives, but it is not easy to find relatives in this era of war and chaos.
I just hope that the two little guys can remember the names of their loved ones. Once they have names, they can search for them in a targeted manner, and this also requires money.
In the Republic of China, the best thing to exchange for money was gold.I searched and found that Taobao sells gold bars. I found a shop without any logo on the gold bars and ordered ten bars.
This kind of gold bar is 50 grams, and Anxi bought a total of [-] grams. According to the price of gold in the Republic of China, these bars are equivalent to about [-] yuan.
A piece of ocean can buy more than 40 catties of rice, which is equivalent to about 150 yuan in modern times.That is to say, it is only 7500 yuan for a full package.
However, it is almost ready for emergency. If you still need money, Anxi can still buy and sell.For example, watches and perfumes were very valuable in the Republic of China, and many of them could be sold for tens of dollars.
Anxi found a shop that specializes in retro, and ordered some items imitating the Republic of China, such as watches, perfume, and silk scarves, which can be regarded as imported products.
