For the sake of money, the mother-in-law was quite polite and went into the small kitchen nearby to pour water for everyone. However, Ye Caitang's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said: "Auntie, don't bother pouring water for us. We're not thirsty, we're just tired and want to sit down for a while.

.”

This is embarrassing.

The first house is so messy and the yard is not neatly tidied up. You can imagine the situation in the kitchen. Not to mention plain or unsophisticated, it is definitely unhygienic.

Secondly, the identity of the mother-in-law makes people suspicious. Who knows who she is? Is she a good person or a bad person? What if she sprinkled some medicine in the water?

Instead of waiting for someone to bring it out and deliver it to you, and it will be embarrassing if you say you don’t drink it, it’s better not to drink it in the first place.

Hearing what Ye Caitang said, the mother-in-law didn't force herself, so she didn't pour water for everyone, walked aside, and continued to trouble her.

She was sorting a pile of firewood, cutting large and messy branches into small ones, suitable for stuffing into the stove.

Xia Yue looked at it intently for a while and asked her mother-in-law: "Auntie, your yard is really unique, can we take a look?"

"Let's see, let's see." The mother-in-law waved her hands indifferently, and then babbled: "You guys, at first glance, you look like the eldest son of a rich family. You live in many good houses, but when you see this shabby

, also feels fresh.”

It's quite clear.

Ye Caitang smiled.

My mother-in-law is right about this.

Except for her, everyone here is really a young master and a young lady. Even Wang Tong and Liu Sha, although they are servants, have followed Xia Yue since they were young, and their living and food are definitely not bad. Xia Yue is not a person who treats his servants harshly.

This can be seen by looking at the two people talking and doing things in daily life. They are playful and smiling, no matter how big or small they are.

But the house she had in Baixia Village might not be as good as this one.

So everyone started visiting the yard with great interest.

It's called a visit, but it's actually a search. I'm just being polite and not kicking in the door to get into the house.

However, they also checked at the door and found that there was indeed no one inside.

This is the last tenderness of Mr. Xia of the Six Gates.

Ye Caitang walked to the back of the house, looked left and right, and called out to Xia Yue.

"Look here, is there a cellar?"

Many families have cellars for storing things. Especially in villages, there is one in the yard of Ye Caitang's family.

Xia Yue nodded and said unceremoniously: "Wang Tong."

Wang Tong understood and came over immediately.

A simple cellar is just to dig a hole, build a wooden board at the door, and then cover it with soil. It's that simple.

Wang Tong pushed away the soil on it in a few clicks, and then pulled away the wooden board.

The soil was newly covered, and the wooden boards should have been opened and covered frequently, so it didn't take much effort.

Soon, a dark hole was revealed in the cellar, and there was some musty smell coming out of it, but it wasn't heavy.

If the hole is always open for ventilation, the smell will not be strong.

Xia Jian nodded.

Wang Tongyi held the knife in one hand, took out the fire stick with the other, blew it, and jumped down.

Everyone waited outside with bated breath. Soon, Wang Tong's voice came from inside.

Wang Tong cursed.

Everyone was shocked.

Liu Sha immediately held down the knife: "What's wrong?"

"There are white bones inside, it's..." Wang Tong hesitated a little: "Yes, it's the girl that Master Xie met today."

Xie Zhi's first reaction was to curse.

What are you talking about? The person I just saw this morning, you just say it is a dead person, you say it is a skeleton, does it mean that in half a day, a living person turned into a skeleton?

However, Xia Yue's first reaction was different.

Xia Yue's first reaction was: "Liu Sha, catch that woman."

Liu Sha jumped out with a whoosh.

Then Liu Sha let out a long, unbelievable, and indescribable cry in the front yard.

"Depend on!"

Xia Yue's two generals, Wang Tong and Liu Sha, who had also seen the world, were so rude. Everyone found it strange.

Wang Tong saw a set of bones in the cellar. What did Liu Sha see?

Everyone ran into the yard in front first, and then they were stunned. They stood next to Liu Sha and made similar noises.

Shen Xingyao and Mo Fen were girls, so they were more reserved. Although they were surprised, they didn't say it out loud. However, they were a little scared and stood back, hiding behind Xia Yue.

Ye Caitang was different. In her mind, using harsh words was not considered a curse word, so it was not conducive to expressing her surprise.

When they were wandering around just now, the woman was sitting on a small stool, sorting out a bunch of messy branches, sorting them into similar lengths, and then tying them into bundles. This way, it is very convenient to carry them in bundles when in use.

.

But now, where the person was sitting just now, there is no one anymore, but a skeleton scattered on the ground. What is even more terrifying is that there is a piece of clothing on the skeleton.

It was exactly what the old lady was wearing just now.

Everyone couldn't come to their senses for a moment. Why was Wang Tong waiting below? Hearing the silence from above, he quickly came up to take a look. When he rushed over and saw this lucky person, he was also shocked.

Then Wang Tong issued his second exclamation today.

It was Xia Yue who reacted first, turned around and said, "Go and take a look at the situation in the cellar."

Leaving Liu Sha, Shen Xingyao and Toner behind, everyone returned to the cellar door.

The area in the cellar was limited and it was impossible to get down at once, so everyone took turns to get down.

Xie Zhi went down first without any courtesy, and Ye Caitang shouted from above: "Don't touch the bones, let me see first."

Please pay attention to my identity, I am a fake, don't destroy the scene.

Xie Zhi remembered that Ye Caitang was a widower, and then took Ye Caitang down with him.

Although Xia Yue also wanted to go down, there was nothing he could do if he couldn't squeeze in.

It was so dark in the cellar that the fire could only illuminate a small area in front of me.

It was empty, there was nothing else, only a white skeleton lying in the middle.

Except for Shen Xingyao and Ink Fen, there is no one else who is afraid of the Bones. What makes everyone feel weird is that the Bones is wearing an embroidered shoe on its feet.

Xie Zhi touched it and found that the one he just left was left at the inn and was not taken with him.

But he looked carefully and whispered: "It seems to be the same."

Ye Caitang nodded, she also felt the same.

Ye Caitang walked to the skeleton and picked up the embroidered shoe. There were two bones inside.

"It's a foot bone." Ye Caitang said, "And it's broken."

On the other side, there are the same foot bones, without shoes, but they are also broken.

Ye Caitang looked at it carefully: "This was broken during her lifetime. In other words, this girl has a pair of three-inch golden lotus."

The only way to make a pair of feet that are the size of a normal person and become as big as the palm of your hand is to break them, from a small size.

Xie Zhi only felt cold all over his body.
