Chapter 3: The Strange Female Corpse

"What the hell is going on?"

After getting on the motorcycle, I couldn't resist the curiosity in my heart and asked.

"Alas, don't mention it, it's my aunt from my own family, who went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and was killed by the ore dug up the mountain. ”

Ge Min sighed and said, because the motorcycle was driving and the noise was very loud, so his voice was also turned to the maximum.

"Death?"

I nodded, not taking it to heart.

After all, there are too many people who have died over the years.

There is an old saying in the countryside that people who die do not wear longevity.

This means that people who die in the middle of the war cannot wear shrouds, and at the time of the funeral, they can only wear paper clothes, otherwise cholera will affect their families.

The true meaning of a true papermaker is here.

More than 30 miles away, Ge Min's motorcycle drove very fast.

Twenty minutes later, under his leadership, I walked into an old house in Gejia Village.

The two-entry courtyard house, although it is a little dilapidated, can see the extraordinary family of this owner.

At least in Gejia Village, it must be a well-known existence.

"My uncle is the head of the village, Ge Changqing. ”

After entering the door, Ge Min introduced me.

Immediately afterwards, I met Ge Min's uncle, Ge Changqing.

Unlike ordinary rural people, Ge Changqing is nearly 1.8 meters tall and looks like he is in his forties, with a little rich temperament.

"Master Zhang, you're finally here!"

When Ge Changqing saw my arrival, he seemed to be relieved and greeted me in surprise.

But for some reason, the moment I saw Ge Changqing, I couldn't help frowning.

His wife died tragically, and it stands to reason that Ge Changqing should be extremely sad.

But I can't see sadness in Ge Changqing's body now, I can only see a kind of panic and nervousness!

"Where's the undertaker?"

I asked after nodding to Ge Changqing.

The funeral master in my mouth refers to Ge Changqing's wife, which is the jargon of our rural area.

"In the inner hall. ”

Ge Changqing's voice was a little low, and he led me towards the inner hall.

In the inner hall, there is a bed on which the silhouette of a human figure can be faintly seen, and it is covered with a quilt.

Next to the bed, there was a lot of blood, some of it had dried up, but some of it looked fresh, as if it had just come out.

"Can a man shed so much blood?"

I walked to the bed and found that there was blood all under the bed, and the quilt and bed board on the bed were actually soaked!

I've dealt with a lot of murder, but I've never seen so much blood.

"Master Zhang, for some reason, my wife's body seems to be stuck to the bed, and I can't lift it even with the bed. ”

Ge Changqing said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

"The dead body is heavy, and the resentment is not clouded, it seems that your wife has a last wish that has not been fulfilled. ”

I glanced at Ge Changqing and said lightly.

"It's... I've heard this too, so I invited Master Zhang to come and ask you to tie paper clothes for my wife, so that she can be buried in peace. ”

Ge Changqing glanced at the blood stains on the ground, and his body trembled slightly a few times before saying his will.

"Although the paper cover can soothe the resentful spirit, it is not a panacea. ”

As I spoke, I reached for the quilt on the bed.

Hiss!

In the next second, I gasped directly, the hairs all over my body stood upside down, and my pores were opened!

On the bed, Ge Changqing's wife was already torn apart, completely wrapped in blood, and it looked like her back was put together, and she couldn't see the appearance of a person at all!

I have been working as a papermaker for five or six years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a tragic situation.

"Master Zhang, Master Zhang..."

Ge Changqing was a little stunned when he saw me, and hurriedly shouted a few times.

"The dead body has a grudge, is there a secret in it?"

My gaze shifted from the female corpse to Ge Changqing's body.

"My wife was inadvertently stoned to death by a rock, this is an accident, where did it come from. ”

Ge Changqing shook his head and said.

But I always felt that what he said was not true.

"Is there a photo, the corpse has become like this, I can't measure the corpse and tie the paper clothes. ”

I didn't continue to ask, and prepared to tie paper clothes for Ge Changqing's wife.

"Yes!"

Ge Changqing walked into the inner room and quickly walked out with a photo.

In the photo, Ge Changqing's wife is wearing a red cheongsam, with upright facial features and a shawl, which is already a beauty in the countryside.

But the moment I saw the photo, my legs went soft!

"Is that her?!"

I screamed, my eyes widened instantly, and cold sweat appeared on my forehead, dripping down.

Ge Changqing's wife is actually the female corpse who knocked on my door last night!

Although yesterday's female corpse was full of cracks on her face and looked very hideous, I still recognized her at a sight.

"Master Zhang, what's wrong?"

Ge Changqing was a little puzzled when he saw my performance.

"It's an evil door, it's really an evil door. ”

I muttered in my mouth, my back was full of cold sweat, and after a while, I woke up with a shiver, and after looking at the tragic corpse of Ge Changqing's wife, I didn't hesitate to step away!

"I'm sorry, I can't do anything about this matter, and I also ask Mr. Ge to ask Gao Ming. ”

I wanted to protect myself, but when I tried to leave the room, I found that there seemed to be an extra transparent wall in front of me, and no matter how I walked, I couldn't leave!

Charm the wall!

It was just an instant that I understood that this was Ge Changqing's wife who was unwilling to let me leave.

I don't know what she means, but I do know that I'm going to have to wade through the muddy waters.

"Looks like she picked me last night. ”

I looked ugly and stood still.

"Master Zhang, what's wrong with you? Please think of a way, if you can't even do anything within a radius of dozens of miles, then I have no hope. ”

Ge Changqing didn't know what was going on with me, he was just begging me.

"Find me a rooster and take the blood from its head. ”

I can't avoid it, so I can only face it, I turned my head and commanded Ge Changqing, took off the backpack on my body and put it at the head of the bed.

Compass, incense, yellow paper, gold needle, red thread, ruler...... The clutter was taken out of my backpack.

Before tying the paper clothes, I need to sew the body of Ge Changqing's wife, which is also one of the responsibilities of the papermaker.

"Master Zhang, the cockscomb blood is here. ”

There was not much time, and Ge Changqing brought the cockscomb blood.

I reached out and took it and put it on the ground, pulled out three sticks of incense with my left hand, and dipped the middle index finger of my right hand with the blood of the cockscomb, and then smeared it on the incense.

"When the mourner dies, heaven and earth mourn together, sew the corpse for him, wear paper clothes, and if there is a will, the incense image is indicated. ”

With words in my mouth, I lit the three sticks of incense in my hand.

Although it was stained with the blood of the cockscomb, the three sticks of incense burned quickly.

And it is very strange that the incense on the left and right sides of the three incense sticks burns very quickly, while the middle one burns very slowly!
