There is a god in the sky

Chapter 18 Zhongyuan Chapter Sacrifice 8

Fu Qingyan also saw the skeleton. It would be a lie to say it wasn't frightening, but he couldn't move his body and could only ask anxiously, "Whose remains are those...?"

How could anyone hide bones in their home?

Old Wei walked over and closed the door, deliberately trying to scare him, saying, "Just like you, picked up from a mass grave, who knows who you are."

"Aren't you...aren't you afraid of doing this?"

"Look at what you're saying. I've seen more dead people than living people. Why would I be afraid of a skeleton?"

Old Master Wei patted his chest as he carried Fu Qingyan on his back: "It's alright, it's alright. You get used to it after seeing it so many times."

The skeleton was made of plaster by Wei Lanxiang. It was so lifelike that Old Master Wei never dared to enter this room alone at night.

Fu Qingyan, forcing back his pain, said, "Mr. Wei, my life is worthless, but what you just said... about repaying me with your body, that..."

"Hey, I was just saying it casually, just kidding. Don't take it seriously."

Fu Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, sir. Why haven't I seen Miss Wei these past two days?"

"I'm going out, I'll be back today."

Old Master Wei brought in the porridge he hadn't finished eating and gave half of it to Fu Qingyan.

"This mixed grain porridge is hard on the throat, you probably won't like it, but we don't have anything else to eat at home, so just make do with it."

Fu Qingyan had a terrible headache and couldn't taste anything.

His strong will to survive made him finish the half-bowl of porridge, and then he lay on the bed panting.

Old Master Wei changed his dressing and examined the wound.

"Thankfully, it didn't fester. It's all thanks to my daughter for leaving ice; otherwise, in this hot weather, your wound would have had a hard time healing."

Fu Qingyan thought it was because the place was cool, but he didn't expect that they used ice.

In Bianjing, only wealthy families could afford ice in the summer. I never expected that this small rural family could afford ice.

Tie Zhu returned home absentmindedly, where he encountered Xiao Ji and his group.

"Young man, may I ask if you have seen a young couple passing by here?" Guan Shu stopped Tie Zhu and asked.

Tie Zhu stared blankly at him, shaking his head, before walking past him.

Guan Shu touched his head and said, "What a pity, he's a fool."

He fanned himself with his straw hat, glanced at the sun, and said, "Sir, let's find somewhere to take shelter. It's too hot at midday."

They went into the village, bought a few bowls of herbal tea, and then sat under a big tree at the village entrance to cool off.

"Baiyi Village is the closest village to Qingmu County. If there are no clues here, then we can only search back."

Xiao Ji sensed that something was wrong.

Fu Qingyan is a generous person and has never concealed his whereabouts along the way. Why did he hide himself in this remote Qingmu County?

A person cannot change their nature for no reason, unless they lose control of their own destiny.

We need to find him as soon as possible.

Wei Lanxiang returned under the scorching midday sun.

She walked past Xiao Ji and the others, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, her expression indifferent.

She recognized the four people from afar, but she couldn't possibly rush to greet them.

Upon seeing the person, Guan Shu jumped out and asked, "Young lady, may I ask if you have seen a young couple from out of town? The man is eight feet tall, refined and handsome, and the woman is also very beautiful."

Wei Lanxiang was forced to stop and casually asked, "Do you have a portrait?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Guan Shu took out Fu Qingyan's portrait to show her.

Wei Lanxiang recognized the man at a glance as the one she had picked up from the mass grave.

She had been away from home for two days and was unsure if the person was still alive.

To avoid trouble, she shook her head and said, "I've never seen it."

She can go back and check; if the person is still alive, then she can inform them.

Moreover, the person's injuries were extremely serious, requiring good medicine and a skilled doctor. This quack doctor might just kill him.

If someone dies, they still have to be thrown back into the mass grave to avoid getting into trouble.
