46: mass grave

However, halfway back, Wang Jianguo suddenly thought of something, turned to Wang Jianjun, and said, "Jianjun, if I remember correctly, that grove a few hundred meters to the right of our house is a mass burial ground, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianjun couldn't help but shiver, "Big Brother, it's late at night, why are you suddenly bringing that up? It's really creepy."

Although he didn't believe in such things, it couldn't help but make him overthink.

"Don't change the subject. I remember there was also a tiled house in that grove, wasn't there?"

Hearing this, Wang Jianjun seemed to understand the implication of his words.

"Big Brother, do you mean..."

"Let's go, we'll go take a look."

Wang Jianguo said and started walking, but after only two steps, he saw Wang Jianjun standing still behind him, lost in thought.

"Don't just stand there foolishly. You're not scared of this, are you? What haven't we seen in Southeast Asia? We even slept in coffins with dead people. You're not telling me you're afraid to enter a mass burial ground now, are you?"

Wang Jianjun snapped out of it, straightened his back, and retorted, "How could I be? I was just thinking if we should go back and get a flashlight."

"A flashlight? Are you being foolish? If there's light, and someone is there, wouldn't that just tell them our location? Hurry up and follow."

Then he headed towards the mass burial ground again.

Little did he know, someone should have been faster than them.

At the same time, inside the grove of the mass burial ground.

Two burly men cautiously walked inside, and soon, the tiled house Wang Jianguo mentioned came into view.

When they saw a faint firelight inside the tiled house, they couldn't help but exchange glances.

"It seems that the Old Master and his people are probably looking for the person inside, right?"

"Heh heh, how do you know there's a person inside."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to look at the surrounding graves, and there was even a tombstone at his feet, with a photo on it, though it was covered in dust.

Seeing this, he reached out and wiped the dust off the photo, "Let's go, we'll sneak over and take a look. If the situation isn't right, we'll directly..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture of slitting a throat.

That's right, they were two of the Bodyguards sent back by Shao Jun (Young Lord).

The two of them, like ghosts, silently approached the tiled house.

This was a small tiled house of less than eight square meters, with dilapidated doors and windows.

Inside, a small bonfire was lit, the firelight very faint, as if afraid that too much light would attract attention.

Two men in their thirties sat by the bonfire, wearing tattered dark green overcoats.

One of them had a scar on his face like a centipede, which looked particularly ferocious in the firelight.

"Brother Hu, there are many abandoned houses in that village, why did we choose to be here? Every night, it feels so eerie and creepy here."

And the person referred to as Brother Hu was the man with the long scar on his face.

"Damn it, you're so timid, how are you going to make a living with me in the future? Do you think that one million is so easy to get? Just bear with it. I estimate we'll be able to leave this godforsaken place in a few days."

"Heh heh, Brother Hu is right."

"Alright, put out the fire. We can't keep it burning for too long, otherwise it will attract attention. Old rules, you stand watch for the first half of the night, and I'll watch for the second half. Stay alert, don't let anyone discover us."

"Don't worry, Brother Hu. A million! Let alone being discovered by people, even if I'm discovered by a ghost, I'll tie her up and bring her back."

"Alright, alright, ghosts, ghosts, don't even look at what kind of place this is. Don't let the bad luck come true. You watch over me, I'll take a nap first."

Saying that, he leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

The other person, seeing this, put out the fire. Without the firelight, the tiled house instantly became pitch black. Besides the chirping of insects, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

"Damn it, why do I feel the urge to pee at this time?"

The man rubbed his stomach, turned to look at Brother Hu who was asleep next to him, "Forget it, I'll go out and pee."

With that, he cautiously walked out of the tiled house. Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, relying on the moonlight, he could vaguely see small mounds.

He naturally knew what those were. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shiver.

"Damn it, to protect Brother Hu, I can't go too far. I'll just do it here."

He dared not look around, quickly unzipped his pants, and before he could even pee, a hand suddenly reached out from behind him, covering his mouth with lightning speed.

"Woo woo woo woo ~"

Suddenly having his mouth covered from behind, fear quickly surged into his heart. His pupils dilated, his feet flailed wildly, trying to make a noise to wake up Brother Hu inside.

But then a sharp pain in his neck, and he fainted.

Brother Hu inside the tiled house suddenly opened his eyes.

A human face came into view, and just as he was about to scream, a large hand covered his mouth.

"Behave, or else this place is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts, and I don't mind letting you keep them company."

Brother Hu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, his anxious heart slowly settling. He was almost scared to death just now, thinking it was a ghost.

After all, in such a place, opening your eyes in the middle of the night to a large face appearing in front of you, not fainting from fright, already showed great courage.

Seeing that it was a person, his hand involuntarily slowly reached behind him, seemingly wanting to grab something, but unfortunately, before he could touch it, his arm felt a sharp pain, and his entire arm instantly lost all sensation.

"Not behaving, are you? You'll have a hard time later."

As he spoke, he felt around and pulled out a gun from behind Brother Hu. It was a homemade shotgun, looking very crude, making one wonder if it could even fire.

Just then, a low voice came from outside, "They're here, quickly take him, we'll hide first."

Not long after!

Wang Jianguo and the other man hid behind a large tree, looking at the tiled house not far away.

It was pitch black, not looking like anyone was there.

"Big Brother, there's no firelight, should we get closer and take a look?"

Wang Jianguo heard this, pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look around, finally nodding. He gripped his watermelon knife and slowly walked towards the tiled house.

Wang Jianjun saw this, glanced behind him, and followed. The two walked back to back, covering a distance of less than thirty meters, which took them a full three minutes.

When they arrived in front of the tiled house, they exchanged glances, first looking inside, then cautiously walked in.

There was no one inside at all.

Crack ~

A flicker of firelight appeared. Wang Jianguo took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it. The next moment, as if seeing something, he squatted down and looked at the ground.

He murmured, "Someone has been here."

Wang Jianjun heard this and also saw the extinguished small bonfire at his feet. He squatted down, placed his hand on it, and could still feel the warmth.

"Someone was indeed here. The bonfire still has warmth. It seems they just left not long ago. Big Brother, you said it's so late, who would come to a place like this? Even if it's grave robbing, they wouldn't come here to rob, would they?"

"I don't know. Perhaps my feeling wasn't wrong. They were monitoring us, but I don't know what their purpose was in monitoring us. Let's go, we'll head back first."

With that, he put away the lighter, got up, and left.
