Chapter 10: The Transformation of the Corpse
"Isn't it just chasing out corpses? Whoever said I didn't know, I'd catch up. "Along the way, the scarlet spirit has been entangled.
Autumn is crisp, but it's not a good idea to walk on the plains during the day.
The three of them are nostalgic for the days in the mountains.
There are trees and fruits, springs and wild meat in the mountains, unlike here, there is nothing but people's homes.
Not far away, a town market appeared.
The three of them jumped up, and finally there were a lot of people, and there would be no strange things here.
The trio walked around the town and then looked for a place to stay.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and there are many tourists here, and there is nowhere to stay.
Scarlet Ling looked entangled: "It looks like I'm going to sleep on the streets." β
At this time, a person bumped into Xunnian, Xunnian looked at him, and a female voice screamed: "Thief! β
Xun Nian immediately reacted and chased after the man, but the man quickly disappeared.
Xun Nian was annoyed for a while, but Yueming ran forward, and the scarlet spirit followed behind, and when he ran in front of him, he said, "Hurry up and follow, Ah Piao knows where he is." β
It is said that you can't get rid of it if you are followed by ghosts, which is true.
Ah Streamer led everyone to find the thief.
For this kind of person, Scarlet Spirit has never been soft-handed, and he picked the tendon of one hand and the tendon of one foot after brushing two knives.
Xun Nian snatched his white crystal from his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
Scarlet Spirit also found something else from the thief, a fine piece of jade, but unfortunately it was stained by the thief's blood.
At this time, a woman's voice came from behind him: "Everyone is really chivalrous, and they actually helped me catch up with this thief." β
When everyone looked back, they saw that it was a woman, dressed quite luxuriously.
Everyone laughed, and said in their hearts that chasing the thief was just to miss the white crystal.
"What did this thief steal?"
Scarlet Spirit successfully changed the subject, and quietly put the piece of jade behind his back to wipe the blood from the blood.
The woman said, "It is a very important piece of jade, I begged for it, and today my nephew and daughter-in-law will give birth, go back and let her hang it and pray for the safety of mother and child." β
"Is this it?"
Scarlet Ling rushed to take out the jade from behind her back, and the woman was overjoyed when she saw it, and hurriedly asked for a reward.
When looking for excuses, Scarlet Ling said: "We are rushing back to our hometown from other places, who expected that there would be nowhere to live when passing by here today, I don't know if we can borrow a night in the house?" β
"That's okay, it's just that my nephew and daughter-in-law are going to give birth today, I'm afraid it will make you noisy."
The woman said.
"I'm not afraid, we're all unconscious as soon as we fall asleep, and we're not in the way!"
Scarlet Spirit said cheekily.
Xunnian whispered in her ear, "Do you call us pigs?" β
Scarlet Spirit lowered his voice and retorted to him: "It's better than sleeping on the streets!" β
Both of them looked at the woman with a smile on their faces.
And she took them away.
It was a small village outside the town, and sure enough, as Scarlet Ling expected, the family who could buy such a good jade must be from a good family, and it was not a matter of caring for the three of them to stay for one night.
Along the way, Scarlet Ling's mouth was sweet, and he assured the woman that they would not run around in the Zhuangzi and would stay in the house obediently if they collided with happy events.
The Zhuangzi is full of people, and it seems to be busy but not chaotic.
In the night, the doll was born, but the woman died.
Scarlet Spirit was uneasy for a while, and Xun Nian felt very strange.
"In fact, the piece of jade that is going to be brought to the mother is stained with the blood of a thief, and if it is stained with other people's blood, it will not be pure, and it will not have a blessing effect. Could it be that the woman died? β
Scarlet Spirit looked worried.
"You have times when you're worried."
Xun Nian said.
"No kidding you!"
Scarlet Spirit's face immediately changed.
Sure enough, after a while, the red cloth was removed, and the white cloth was replaced, and the body of the dead woman was temporarily placed in front of the hall.
Suddenly thunder broke out in the sky late at night, and the scarlet spirit woke up suddenly and wanted to sneak out.
Xunnian, who was sleeping on the ground, grabbed her small feet and asked, "Why are you going?" β
Scarlet Ling was anxious and said, "Rescue! There was thunder and lightning in the sky, and it would be miserable if a pot-bellied cat jumped over the corpse. I had to go out and help. β
After all, there is some guilt in his heart, and the scarlet spirit wants to do something.
"I'll go with you."
Remembrance got up.
There was a manservant sitting in front of the hall keeping a watch, but he was dozing off.
There was a flash of lightning outside, followed by a thunderclap, and the servant woke up at once, and saw Xunnian and Scarlet Spirit walking over.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
The servant asked.
"Put this tile on the heart of your mistress!"
Scarlet Spirit threw it to the servant and shouted anxiously.
Unfortunately, it was too late, the servant did not react, a black cat ran into the hall, the servant was busy chasing the black cat, the black cat was driven to nowhere, jumped over the corpse, and fled from the other side.
"It's over."
Scarlet Spirit said with straight eyes.
When the woman's body stood up, the servant's feet were weakened, and he could not speak properly.
"Fraud, fraud..."
"Run!"
Scarlet Ling really wanted to slap his straw bale on the head, and did what she said, so that she struggled to climb the roof and take down a piece of tile.
Don't underestimate this tile, this represents the weight of a house, and the corpse is suppressed to prevent it from mutating.
The servant reacted and ran out of it with a frightened face.
"Go find a few strong men with strength and bring ropes!"
Scarlet said to the servant.
"Yes, yes."
This time the servant quickly agreed.
The woman had already risen, her limbs stiffened, and her face still had the expression of pain before death, but now it had lost its blood, and it looked hideous and terrifying.
The body was covered with blood, and before I had time to change it, some of it dried and turned dark, and some of it was still liquid, dripping down my feet.
"Let's try to attract it as much as possible, we can't let it touch people, it will make other people turn into zombies!"
Scarlet Spirit said to Xun Nian, regardless of whether he wanted to or not, pull him and run.
The zombie was chasing after them.
ran out of Zhuangzi for a few miles, and it was a farmer.
The scarlet spirit frightened the farmer and closed the door, revealing a gap to see what was happening.
I saw that the zombie was chasing a girl and a teenager, the girl ran around the yard tree, the zombie also ran around, and the boy was able to escape.
The scarlet spirit ran out of breath, and when he ran, he saw a back figure in front of him, and recognized it as a zombie.
She ran dizzy, and she didn't know why the zombie ran ahead of her, so she screamed in fright.
The zombie turned, reaching out and grabbing her head.
The finger was so sharp that the scarlet spirit collapsed to the ground in fright, and the finger went straight into the trunk of the tree behind her.
Because it was inserted too deeply, the zombie couldn't pull it out.
At this time, the big man in Zhuangzi also came, and when he saw this scene, he forgave them for being mentally prepared, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.
Xun Nian helped the scarlet spirit, and the people in the farmer also opened the door and came out.
"First, don't touch it yet, and we'll talk about it when it's dawn."
Scarlet Spirit didn't have much strength at this time.
So the group stayed here first, and when it was dawn, the zombie did not move.
Everyone pulled out their fingers together, and saw that there were ten deep holes in the trunk, which made people feel palpitations.
The big man tied up the zombie and went back, but Scarlet Ling found something on the ground, it was the piece of jade, which fell when the zombie ran around here last night, and it had been broken, and the jade exposed inside made Scarlet Spirit look stern.
Seeing that she was weird, he asked what was wrong.
"This is a piece of fierce jade. I was deceived by its warm appearance before. That woman died not because the jade was stained with blood, but because it was a fierce jade and sucked blood! β
Scarlet Spirit said.
Xun Nian suddenly understood, and said: "It's really like a jade, it looks good on the surface, but it is so vicious." Let's leave this alone and leave as soon as possible. β
For the first time, Scarlet Ling was so in favor of the remembrance of Tiyì.
When she returned to Zhuangzi, the woman thanked them for her kindness and wanted to keep them for a while.
"We don't dare to live anymore."
Xun Nian said.
"He's timid, he was scared yesterday."
Scarlet Spirit hurriedly said with a smile.
Xunnian lowered his voice and said, "You acted very well." β
Scarlet Spirit also lowered his voice and retorted: "It's better than being assassinated!" β
Walking out of Zhuangzi, the three of them were relaxed.
"Shouldn't you remind that master to watch out for that old witch?"
Scarlet Ling suddenly mentioned yì.
"This is a family matter, who does she want to harm is just for the family property or something, and you don't fight with them, what do you do with so much?"
Nian said boringly.
He thought to himself, there are so many conspiracies in the mansion and there is more than this one, but they just happened to bump into each other, "This is not the most poisonous woman's heart." β
He added another sentence, looking at the scarlet spirit, and said with ulterior motives.
"Look at what I'm doing!"
Scarlet Spirit's eyes widened again.
Only Yueming and Ah Piao were quiet together, as if they hadn't even woken up last night.
