Chapter 9: The Old Man of the Bamboo Building

As soon as Chen Feng left, a helper next to Lao Yang Tou came over and said, "This kid went to the morgue, you always said that it could support it for a few days?" I'm betting less than three days! ”

Lao Yang threw aside the copper coins in his hand, but ignored the helpers, and muttered to himself: "If it weren't for this morgue, no one would want to go, hmph, a foreigner wants to get a job from me for five copper coins, no way!" I hope this kid can stay a little longer, and the kid with strong blood should be able to stand the cold there. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info or I'll have to find someone again. But think about the current morgue, it's really not a place for people to stay, and there has to be some movement every night. ”

Lao Yang Tou said, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and the two gangs couldn't help but tremble for a while.

"You go, return this copper coin to that kid, and say that I won't take any money from him, it's free." Old Yang Tou thought for a while and then said to a helper.

"Why don't you take it? Mosquitoes are small but also meat, huh? Although the gang said this, they still respectfully picked up the copper coin. He rolled his eyes, and he was already planning to go to a place where Lao Yang's head couldn't see and put the copper coin in his pocket. At most, take a walk around the outside and you'll be back on business.

"That kid went to the morgue, and I don't think it's going to end much better. You say, "Can I ask for the money of the dead?" Old Yang's voice came lazily.

The helper who just wanted to fill his pockets shivered under the sun in broad daylight, and hurriedly went to chase Chen Feng.

Chen Feng didn't expect the helper to send the copper coins over. The idle people didn't say a word, threw the copper coin to Chen Feng and walked away quickly, not even wanting to look at Chen Feng more, as if Chen Feng had a lot of bad luck on his body.

Chen Feng looked at himself inexplicably, and he couldn't see anything strange, so he happily put away the copper coin and continued to move forward, saying in his heart that this old Yang Tou didn't look as stingy as he looked.

Walk all the way to the forest south of Shelu Town, and follow the forest to the east, there is a large flat wasteland, where the mortuary mound is located.

Along the way, Chen Feng asked a few more people, and gradually gained a certain understanding of this morgue. This morgue has no name, and it doesn't occupy a large area, but the entire area around Shelu Town is this one morgue, and sometimes, he can't be missing.

It turned out that the person who came to guard the morgue was an old servant who had retired from the county government, which was also a very suitable position for him. But some time ago, for some reason, the old man suddenly went crazy. At first, the doctor said that he was too frightened, but later he changed his story and said that it was ordinary sheep's horn, and then the old man died. A person who has dealt with corpses all his life would be so frightened that no one would believe it. Later, however, some people heard that there was always some strange movement in the morgue, and even a few people passed by near the morgue, and they also screamed as if they were evil. As for the individual who went to the morgue to work as guards for their livelihood, they either died mysteriously or disappeared for no reason. The county government sent people to investigate several times, but there was no result. Gradually, no one wanted to come here as a guard, and the morgue gradually became a forbidden place.

Hearing these rumors, Chen Feng naturally wouldn't take them all seriously, but he was also secretly vigilant. However, in order to be able to take revenge, Chen Feng had to take this step. Without enough money, it would be difficult for Chen Feng to enter the depths of the Lin Mo Mountain Range.

Before entering the morgue, Chen Feng unexpectedly saw a bamboo building in front of the forest, which seemed to be inhabited. According to others, the vicinity of the morgue is already a forbidden place, and it is impossible for people to appear in it, so how can anyone live here permanently? Chen Feng decided to visit the residents inside, even if he couldn't find out any valuable information about the morgue, it was still in line with the etiquette of the neighborhood.

Chen Feng listened to those old people who had gone south and north said that in the south of Hongfeng Island, the rustic atmosphere is miasma, and poisonous weeds and sand pit vipers often grow in the mountains, so the people there live side by side regardless of race, and go up the ladder, called "pole railing", all the residential houses, all built according to the mountain, take the direction of the north and south, in order to avoid poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, the bottom of the wooden building of the duplex structure adopts nine pillars to the ground, and the beams are crossed, so that the building is suspended, such a building is also called "stilted building", each house is stilted downstairs, They also offered a wood carving of strange insects and beasts. The bamboo building in front of him was built in imitation of this style, which was incompatible with the style of the houses that Chen Feng saw on weekdays.

Chen Feng knocked on the half-hidden bamboo door on the first floor of the bamboo building, and no one answered, but Chen Feng did hear the coughing sound coming from the bamboo building. There was no way, Chen Feng had to go in first, and then ask the master for his guilt.

Slowly ascending to the second floor, Chen Feng directly entered the room with an open door, which was very dark and not large, about six or seven square meters, and the style of the house built of rough bamboo, thatch, and wooden planks was extremely simple.

The first thing Chen Feng saw was a few bamboo baskets in the corner, and there was a "rustling" sound inside, and he didn't know what was inside.

There were a few hides hanging on the walls, probably for an unknown number of years, gray in color, and in some places the hair had peeled off and was bare. There was a small bed under the hide, which was very dirty and messy. There were no decent quilts or pillows on the bed, only a few tattered clothes and animal skins and bird feathers. There was an old man sitting on the bed, with blue skin, a dark face, messy hair, a beard stained with rice residues, extremely thick bones on his hands, and thick calluses on his palms. Although the weather had warmed, it was not hot, and occasionally cold winds were raging, but he was shirtless, and a piece of animal skin was about the size of two palms wrapped around his waist. The legs exposed under the hides were thin and thin, with some age spots.

Hearing someone come in, the old man who had been closing his eyes slowly opened his eyes, his gray eyes were originally very dim, but when he looked at Chen Feng again, he suddenly emitted a sharp light. Chen Feng couldn't help but be surprised, his eyes were so powerful, as if he could see all the thoughts in his heart. At this time, Chen Feng actually had the taste of facing those great supernatural characters of the Black Tide. However, compared to the ferocity of Kuroshio, the old man in front of him was relatively kind.

Chen Feng saluted the old man very politely, the old man waved his hand, coughed for a long time and said, "Coming?" Sit. Then, his eyes were fixed on Chen Feng's body, unwilling to move away for a long time, his expression was flickering with joy and anger, and he was changeable.

Chen Feng naturally couldn't sit down, especially when the old man looked uncomfortable, and when he was nervous, he bowed again.
