When Li Le opened his eyes the next day, the sun was rising again.

Xiao Yao was lying next to him, eyes wide open, looking at him with a smile.

Li Le was speechless.

The two got up together. After going downstairs, they saw Liu Daneng digging a hole in the corner of the yard.

Zhou Qing is taking action.

"Get up!" Seeing the two people coming down, Liu Daneng put down his hoe and said.

"I've warmed breakfast for you in the kitchen." Zhou Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves and said to the two of them with a smile.

"Thank you!" Li Le nodded and Xiao Yao walked into the kitchen with a normal expression. After breakfast, they returned to the yard.

At this time, Liu Daneng and Zhou Qing were sitting by the pit and resting.

"Brother Liu, what are you planning to design?" Li Le walked to the edge of the pit and asked with a smile.

"The swimming pool is a small swimming pool. You can swim here next summer." Liu Daneng touched his forehead and felt the sweat on his hands.

"Do you have any extra hoes at home?"

"I still have the hoe, it's at the back of the house, but you don't need to help me with this, just sit and rest. It's far enough away that I'm a guest."

"This is a hard job. If I couldn't call an excavator, I would have used an excavator to dig."

Liu Daneng said cheerfully.

"Brother Liu has never done digging holes before?"

"Ah?" Liu Daneng was stunned and looked at Li Le.

"Didn't pits need to be dug frequently in rural areas in the past?" Li Le explained: "Arid toilet pits, puddles, and even small fish ponds were dug out with hoe after hoe."

"I thought Brother Liu used to dig a lot."

Hearing Li Le's words, Liu Daneng just smiled happily and did not reply.

Zhou Qing looked at the two of them very doubtfully.

Li Le turned around and returned to the house, took out a hoe and put it on his shoulder.

"Brother Liu, Sister-in-law Liu, I'll take Xiao Yao to the back mountain to see if we can dig out the bamboo shoots buried in the ground."

With that said, Li Le took Xiao Yao out.

In the yard, Liu Daneng and Zhou Qing both looked at each other in confusion.

"Are there any bamboo shoots to be dug in July?" Zhou Qing asked.

Liu Daneng shook his head.

……

After Li Le went out, he took Xiao Yao straight to the back mountain.

Last night, Tang Dameng and Zhou Hua had told him where Meng's body was buried, and exhuming the bones was part of Li Le's plan.

The slope of the back hill is very steep, and the bamboos growing all over the mountain are chaotic.

Li Le used a hoe to clear the way in front, and the two of them moved forward with difficulty.

It was not until nearly an hour later that the two finally arrived at the burial place where Tang Dameng said.

Looking at the bamboos as thick as an adult's thigh rising from the ground, Li Le was filled with thoughts.

The bamboos around here are obviously much thicker than those around them. It should be the result of being nourished by the corpses of those two people.

"In fact, when a person dies, the body rots in the soil, and eventually it turns into nutrients and is transported to the surrounding trees. So generally speaking, the trees around mass graves grow very well."

"When trees grow well and have lush branches and leaves, they block more sunlight, which makes the temperature under the trees lower than the surroundings. This is what people call Yin Qi."

"So, the ghosts and strange things in the world can be explained by science."

Li Le patted the bamboo beside him.

The bamboo made a thick sound, as if Tang Dameng and Zhou Hua were greeting them.

"If I hadn't seen a ghost with my own eyes, I would probably believe your lies now." Xiao Yao said speechlessly.

"Honestly, Tang Dameng and Zhou Hua are next to me from time to time. I feel a cold wind blowing behind me."

Li Le shook his head: "How could they appear in broad daylight and noon?"

Hearing what Li Le said, Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief and slapped her chest with her hands. Although she had seen ghosts, it didn't mean she wasn't afraid of them.

"So they can only hide on the bamboos, the two behind you." Li Le said with a smile, pointing to the two bamboos.

Xiao Yao exclaimed, not daring to look back, and quickly threw herself into Li Le's arms.

There were indeed two human faces on the two bamboos where she originally stood.

Judging from the facial features and outline, there is no doubt that they are Tang Dameng and Zhou Hua.

"Didn't you behave normally last night?" Li Le asked.

"Last night? I thought it was just a dream."

Li Le: "..."

Then, Tang Dameng and Zhou Hua patiently explained many things to Xiao Yao, such as ghosts are not scary, there are no ghosts in the world, they are just a manifestation of energy...

The scene is a bit funny. The two ghosts are explaining to people that there are no ghosts in the world, but only energy fluctuations.

Li Le, on the other hand, was eradicating the weeds in the area in front of him.

His movements were very slow because he was waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Only by frightening the snake can you lure the snake out of its hole.

Sure enough, half an hour later, there was a rustling sound coming from the bamboo forest in the distance.

After a while, Liu Daneng came to several people carrying a hoe.

"Brother Liu!" Li Le raised his head and smiled.

"Your sister-in-law doesn't trust you, so she asked me to come and take a look. Have you dug any bamboo shoots?" Liu Daneng's eyes swept over the area, and his temperament seemed to have changed.

He still looked so carefree, but there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

"No, it looks like there are no bamboo shoots." Li Le picked up the hoe and said.

"There are no bamboo shoots this season, so we have to wait until winter." Liu Daneng nodded: "Go back, your sister-in-law is starting to prepare lunch."

"Actually, I'm not here to dig bamboo shoots. Last night, Xiao Yao had a dream. In the dream, Zhou Hua brought her here and asked her to dig bamboo shoots. As a result, she went down with a hoe..."

After saying this, Li Le paused and looked at Liu Daneng: "Guess what."

Liu Daneng smiled slightly: "What's wrong?"

"She said she dug up a lot of bones... and then she woke up with a fright."

Liu Daneng didn't reply and looked at Xiao Yao.

"It's true. I really had such a dream. When I came here, I saw exactly the same scene as in the dream. These bamboos and trees are all exactly the same." Xiao Yao said with a very confident look:

"Zhou Hua also said that she was killed by three masked men and then buried here..."

"She asked me to tell the Security Bureau for her."

"I wasn't sure whether this thing was real before, but now I'm sure that a murder must have occurred here."

Li Le secretly admired Xiao Yao's acting skills.

"Did you dig anything?" Liu Daneng put his hand on the hoe handle and asked.

"I haven't dug yet, and I don't dare to dig for fear of damaging the site," Li Le said.

Liu Daneng frowned slightly, and after a moment, he said with a smile: "If we don't dig up, we may not be able to file a case at the Security Bureau."

"You can't go to the Security Bureau and say that you dreamed about Tang Dameng and Zhou Hua, who have been missing for 20 years. They told me in their dreams that they were killed and buried on a mountain. They asked the Security Bureau to send people to dig up the mountain."

"This reason is not sufficient. People from the Security Bureau will most likely not accompany you to mess around."

"This place is different from a big city. It's a remote place, and the efficiency of the security bureau is pitiful."

Liu Daneng stood the hoe on the ground and supported it with both hands. He stared directly at the two people in front of him.
