Chapter 6: The Dry Corpse
Already the fourth
Zhang Penghui's face changed after hearing this, not to mention him, even the faces of me and Jiang Yuan were not very good-looking, and four lives were lost in just ten days, and this harmful thing was inevitably too fierce.
After the village chief dispersed the villagers, Zhang Penghui said directly: "Uncle, you can take us to see the corpse first!" ”
The old village chief hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Well, it stands to reason that you should be allowed to rest first, but ah! Since this strange incident happened in the village, the villagers have been uneasy, and it seems that they can only bother you." ”
Zhang Penghui: "This is a major event of human life, can you rest at any time, this time is a little tight." ”
The village chief uncle was also a master of affairs, and led us directly to the deceased's house.
On the way, the village chief told us that the man who was killed was named Zhuzi, and he was just 18 years old, and like the first three people, he had no signs at all when he was killed.
just slept at home, inexplicably lost his life, and the death was extremely ugly, objectively speaking, it can only be used in horror, and he is a child at home, and his parents have fainted several times from crying.
The old village chief sighed and said, "I don't know what kind of evil our village has created?"
In this way, we followed the village chief and walked for about ten minutes before finally stopping at the door of a courtyard.
The door is open and I can hear someone crying, damn in broad daylight, standing outside, I can feel the cold, the cold in this yard, this is the cold that is not the kind of cold of the natural climate, I feel a little numb when I see this.
Zhang Penghui also stopped, frowned and whispered: "What a heavy grievance"
I asked, "What's going on?"
Zhang Penghui explained: "These people who were killed were all young men who had just turned eighteen, and they died suddenly in the prime of life, and this resentment must be outrageous! Moreover, since ancient times, there has been a rule that those who have not married are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave, so they can only be buried in mass graves in the end. ”
When I heard this, my face couldn't help but change, and I asked in a low voice: "Ahem, are you sure about that? Don't talk about that harmful ghost! Just these few who were killed, it's not easy to mess with!"
Zhang Penghui just sighed: "Hey, there's no way, I can't let go of the hundreds of lives in this village, if nothing else, if these few people start a rush, they can make the village uneasy." ”
Zhang Penghui: "Xiao Xuan, you go down the mountain first, and then we will go to you after we finish solving this case." ”
Me: "What are you talking about, am I the kind of person who is afraid of death? Besides, I'm here all the time, how can I go by myself!"
Zhang Penghui smiled, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Hehe, good boy." ”
After speaking, he raised his feet and walked directly into the courtyard, Jiang Yuan was the second to follow up, I didn't hesitate to follow in, even if the deceased's grievances are great, you can't come out in broad daylight to make trouble!
A coffin was parked in the courtyard, but there was no family guarding it, and Zhang Penghui asked the village chief what the other bodies were doing.
The old village chief said, "Buried!"
I asked, "Are you going to bury the bodies in mass graves?"
The old village chief looked at me and nodded, "Yes, since ancient times, there has been a rule in our village that unmarried people do not enter the ancestral grave, although they are good, but they dare not break the rules!"
Hearing this, we not only gasped, but sure enough, we guessed correctly.
Zhang Penghui reacted quickly, and beckoned me to prepare to open the coffin directly, to be honest, I was a little nervous, because this was the first time I had seen a dead person, Zhang Penghui and I grabbed the lid of the official cai one by one, and then lifted it directly.
Then a terrifying scene that I will never forget in my life, a dried corpse with pale green skin, gray hair and purple lips, was presented in front of me.
The skin of the corpse was already wrinkled, it looked like an old bark, I was not good at seeing this scene, a strong feeling of nausea surged, and I almost threw up, so scared that I threw away the coffin lid!
The most terrifying thing was the pair of eyes that the deceased was open, this was obviously a dead posture!
Zhang Penghui's face was very ugly, and he instructed me: "Hurry up and cover it!"
I closed the lid of the coffin without hesitation, and then I was far away from the coffin, are you afraid?
Of course, I'm afraid, people who haven't seen this kind of miserable appearance won't understand my mood at this time.
Zhang Penghui said with a solemn face: "I was sucked dry of yang qi and died." ”
When I heard this, I felt a depression in my heart! I just wanted to see a small scene, and now it's okay, just come and give me a hard dish.
I asked nervously, "What should I do?"
Zhang Penghui said: "I don't know, to be honest, it's the first time I've encountered a ghost thing that harms people in this way." ”
We also asked the family members about the situation, and the results we got were not satisfactory, and they were about the same as what the village chief said.
But just as we were leaving, I noticed that there was a tuft of fine white hair in an inconspicuous corner on the edge of the bed where the pillar had been sleeping.
Now we were all interested, around the white hair carefully studied, Zhang Penghui approached and sniffed with his nose, and after a while finally said: "I can't see the depth!"
Okay, we were speechless, and waited for you for a long time, but you gave us a sentence that I can't see, Jiang Yuan said at this time: "I'll take a look,"
Zhang Penghui didn't hesitate, and directly handed the hair to Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan took it and looked at it, and then said with some uncertainty: "This seems to be fox hair!
Zhang Penghui: "Are you sure?"
Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Well, I can be sure, don't look at the fox and the dog are both canines, but this hair is not the same in essence." ”
We approached the parents again and asked them if their children had pets, but they didn't hesitate to say no.
It's strange now, where did the hair come from if I didn't have a pet, anyway, I don't understand, then Jiang Yuantu said: "Could it be that it's not ghosts that have been making trouble in the village but mountain spirits?"
Zhang Penghui: "Well, there is this possibility, some animals have been cultivating hard in the deep mountains and old forests for 1,800 years, and there is a chance that they will become refined." ”
Then he said to me: "Xiao Xuan, it seems that it is a wise choice for me to bring you this time. ”
What does that mean?
I scratched my head: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a coincidence." ”
Zhang Penghui smiled: "Hehe, don't be modest thanks to you, otherwise it will be difficult for us to find this clue, okay, let's go and prepare, and we will work tonight." ”
I asked, "What a hurry, do you know what this thing is?"
Zhang Penghui: "It's just a little guess, but I can't be sure!"
After finishing speaking, I left directly, and the old village chief and I were all listening in a fog, and the old village chief pulled me and asked, "Hey, little brother, what do they mean by muttering! ”
I just smiled wryly: "Hehe, how do I know!"
By the time we arrived at the village chief's house, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and the table in the house was already full of food.
After a day of getting along, I found out that Jiang Yuan is not only physically strong, but also has a large amount of food, and he can't stuff a single mouth of his mother, and he keeps poking in, and I and the old village chief are all cold!
Looking at his eating appearance, I was not happy at the time, can you leave some for Lao Tzu in the fuck!
Zhang Penghui looked at the two of us with a black line on his face, forget it, I don't care about this product, and I just don't eat it.
The old village chief saw that we were almost there, so he asked expectantly: "Little Daoist, do you see anything from the corpse?"
Zhang Penghui thought for a moment and then said: "I probably have a little eyebrows, but this thing is also reasonable when it hurts people, I guess your village must have collided with it, otherwise it would never be such a crazy revenge." ”
The old village chief thought for a while, and then said: "I can guarantee this, although our village is poor, I understand the temperament of the villagers, everyone is an honest farmer, I really can't think of the old man, how could we provoke such a murderous thing!"
I said, "Judging from the law of that thing harming people, the village chief should have harmed a person every other day, and it doesn't mean that it will come out to harm people again tomorrow at the latest." ”
When the old man heard what I said, his face turned pale, and he said weakly, "Hey, what can I do!"
Zhang Penghui comforted: "No matter what this scourge is, I will arrest this beast, and kill four people in a row, if it is allowed to go on like this, I am afraid that it will become a climate, and it will be even more difficult to deal with at that time." ”
As he spoke, he took out a lot of talismans from his backpack, handed them to the village chief, and said, "Give these talismans to the villagers, and post them at the door as soon as they are put at home, and don't come out at night, no matter what movement is outside." ”
The old village chief took Fu Liansheng and said okay, everything will be up to us, and then he went directly to arrange for the villagers.
At this time, Zhang Penghui said again: "Okay, we have work to do tonight, so we must rest, if the spirit is insufficient, the yang energy on the body will also be reduced, and if you encounter dirty things, it will be easy to get on the body." ”
I know that Zhang Penghui is taking care of me, he definitely doesn't care about this, Jiang Yuan follows him all day long to deal with these evil things, if he is an ordinary person who doesn't know anything, he won't believe it if he kills me.
