Chapter 1: The Desert Corpse Pickers

Next Chapter

In the dark cellar, a green lamp was burning, and in front of the green lamp, there was a young man in black who was lying on the ground, and four large iron chains locked the young man to the ground.

The moment the black-clothed young man opened his eyes, a scarlet light emitted, but in an instant, the light in his eyes dissipated.

Yang Xiao didn't know all this.

He looked around, the corners of his mouth showed a trace of bitterness, three years ago, he was hit by a car and killed in order to save a child who ran a red light, and when he woke up, he found that he had come to another world.

The original owner of the body had a congenital disease, similar to rabies in his previous life, which occurred every once in a while, and when he was sick, he was mad like a demon, and life was worse than death, so his grandfather specially built this cellar and four large iron chains for him, so that he would not be able to bear the pain and commit suicide.

"Old man. Yang Xiao shouted loudly, usually at this time, the old man would have come to untie him.

Yang Xiao thought of a possibility, could it be that the old man went out again, and when he looked down, the key that should have been hanging around his neck was gone.

By the dim light, he finally saw the key on his left, half a meter away, which must have been his struggle when he became ill.

Time passed little by little, and the old man had not come down yet, and at this moment he had already confirmed that the old man had gone out.

Looks like it's time to use that again. Yang Xiao smiled bitterly and looked at his right hand, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

Yang Xiao's right hand was forced, and the sound of bones breaking came from the iron chain.

Yes!

He cried out loudly, and if he hadn't experienced it twice, he would have fainted a long time ago.

The right hand slowly stretched out from the chain, the flesh on the back of the hand cracked, and blood dripped down the chain to the ground, and finally the right hand was detached from the chain.

Lying on the ground, he was already sweating profusely at this time, his right hand emitted a faint white light, his flesh and blood squirmed, and slowly recovered.

This is his secret, after coming to this world, he found that his recovery ability is particularly strong, as long as he does not suffer a mortal injury, he will always get better.

On both occasions he used this method to "untie" the chains.

When his right hand was restored, an hour had passed, and he turned around, got the keys, and opened the chains one by one.

Clean the chains and the blood from the ground, so that the old man will not worry when he sees it.

Walk over to the table, blow out the blue light, and the cellar turns back into darkness.

Walking out of the cellar, he was greeted by a slightly harsh sun.

He lives in the town of Gusha, a small town near the desert where the sun is scorching.

His house has two rooms and a small courtyard, and the two rooms are occupied by him and his only relative, the old man.

"When I went out, I didn't say a word in advance. Yang Xiao muttered quietly.

After staying in the cellar for a long time, a little hungry, Yang Xiao opened the door and walked to the right, and came to a noodle restaurant.

The owner of the noodle restaurant is Aunt Lu, a widow who lost her husband at an early age and now lives alone.

After her husband died, she opened a noodle shop in order to make ends meet, because the two families were close, Aunt Lu saw that he lived with the old man, one big and one small, and she took care of her very much...... Pro-grandchildren.

At this time, it was already noon, and when I arrived at the noodle restaurant, a stranger came up to me.

This man, dressed in brown animal skins and carrying a pig-killing knife at his waist, looked like a butcher, but strangely he was wounded in the chest, wrapped in a simple white cloth, which was about to be stained red with blood.

"Weirdos. Yang Xiao shook his head, he had been in this world for three years, and it was the first time he had seen such a strange person, who was injured and was not recuperating at home, and was still running around.

The noodle shop was full of people, and when they saw him coming, they shouted one after another: "Brother Yang." ”

Yang Xiao nodded, and Aunt Lu in the back kitchen heard the voice and walked out, and when she saw her, she laughed as if she saw her own child.

Although Aunt Lu is old, her skin looks like a girl in her twenties, and with her charming face, it is not too much to say that she is twenty.

"Aunt Lu. Yang Xiao smiled and greeted the beautiful woman in front of him.

"Xiao'er, if you're hungry, my aunt will make noodles for you. Aunt Lu came over, cleaned a table for him, and returned to the back kitchen to bring out a bowl of beef noodles, half beef and half beef.

"That's right, Xiao'er. Aunt Lu seemed to think of something, "Someone asked Aunt about you just now, and he should have come to look for you to enter the desert." ”

"Got it, Aunt Lu. Yang Xiao replied with a smile, in front of her and the old man, he was just a child.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, and relying on the desert to eat the sand.

I don't know when, there is such a rumor, there is a real dragon in the desert, every year will attract many dragon slaying teenagers to come, in and out of the desert hundreds of times, the real dragon did not see, but the dead saw a lot.

Naturally, a special kind of professional desert corpse picker came into being, and Yang Xiao was the first corpse picker in Gusha Town, so most outsiders would look for him to find the corpse.

Search for the corpse in the desert and transport it back to Gusha Town, the money on the corpse will naturally belong to him, and if a family member comes, he can also get a fee for picking up the corpse.

After eating the noodles, Yang Xiao put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and came to the back kitchen, where Aunt Lu was sweating profusely making noodles.

He skillfully put the dishes and chopsticks into the bucket, which was already full of bowls.

Aunt Lu is usually the busiest at this time, and she is too busy to wash the dishes, so whenever he has time, he will come to help Aunt Lu.

I scooped a spoonful of water and spent half an hour brushing the bowl.

"Aunt Lu, I'm leaving. Yang Xiao washed his hands and said with a smile, the latter nodded and said, "Okay, you can bring back the wine next to the old man." ”

There was an altar of wine under the corner of the wall, Yang Xiao picked it up with one hand, sniffed it, and said, "The daughter of the good fragrance is red." ”

Aunt Lu said angrily: "Go, little rabbit cub, I will make fun of you Aunt Lu, this is obviously ordinary wine." ”

Yang Xiao dodged, shook in front of Aunt Lu, and quickly ran out while she was still angry.

As soon as I came out, I heard a screeching sound.

"Yo, isn't this our little Yang Xiao. ”

He didn't need to look up, he also knew that the person who spoke was Gu Chen, the second elder of Gusha Town.

Gu Chen sat on the table by the door, saw him coming over with a bowl, and threw the bowl over, Yang Xiao caught it with one hand, put it on the table, and prepared to leave.

Gu Chen has a deep grudge with him, he was originally the first corpse picker in Gusha Town, but since Yang Xiao entered this industry, Gu Chen has become the second.

Since then, Gu Chen has regarded him as a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh.

"Yang Xiao, this is the attitude you have when you see your elders, do you want me to teach you how to behave. "Gu Chen's Yin Yang Strange Qi Dao.

"You dare?" a cold light flashed in Yang Xiao's eyes, and the latter saw it and was taken back in fright.

Because of his particularly strong recovery ability, he has never been afraid of fighting, and even when he fights, he is more ruthless than anyone else.

The people in the noodle shop sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, some people put down their money and left, while others lowered their heads to eat noodles, glancing at the two of them from time to time.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Lu ran out of the back kitchen with a soup spoon, saw the two of them tense, and shouted: "Gu Chen, what are you doing? If you want to eat noodles, you can eat noodles, if you want to find trouble with Xiao'er, you are not welcome here." ”

After pulling him down after speaking, Yang Xiao's mouth opened slightly, wanting to say that he could beat Gu Chen, but when he saw Aunt Lu looking like an old hen protecting her cubs, a trace of warmth flowed in her heart and she didn't say it.

"Qing'er, aren't I joking with the child?" Seeing Aunt Lu, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Lu snorted coldly, turned around and said, "Xiao'er, you go back first." ”

glanced at Gu Chen, left the noodle shop, there is Aunt Lu here today, and the two of them can't fight.

After Yang Xiao's back disappeared, Gu Chen beckoned to the side, and a young man with a pockmarked face ran up.

Gu Chen said: "Gu Lian, what did you call me to? ”

Gu Lian whispered: "Uncle Chen, didn't you ask me to supervise Yang Xiao before, just now a stranger came to look for him, and it is estimated that he is going to enter the desert." ”

Hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed in Gu Chen's eyes, thinking of the shame just now, he took out a bottle from his arms and stuffed it into Gu Lian's hand, "Wait for you to find an opportunity to sprinkle the contents on Yang Xiao." ”

Gu Lian's hand shook, he had a bad premonition, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Chen, what is this?"

Gu Chen sneered: "The ashes of the jackal cubs." ”

Gu Lian's hand shook violently, and he almost threw the bottle away.

Jackals have a keen sense of smell and are very vindictive, and if they smell the ashes of their cubs, the consequences can be imagined.

At the same time, Yang Xiao was walking on the way home, and suddenly, his steps paused, and he muttered, "I forgot to tell Aunt Lu that the old man is out and won't be able to come back in a few days." ”

looked at the wine in his hand and licked his lips, the old man was not there, and the wine would not belong to him.

Near the door, there was a person standing in front of the door, it was the 'butcher' who had just come out of the noodle shop.

I didn't expect this person to be so persistent, an hour has passed since he came out of the noodle shop, and it seems that there is an urgent matter.

He opened the door and turned sideways and asked, "Come in." ”

Sitting on the stone bench, he poured a bowl of water and drank it to himself, "Looking for the corpse?"

The man, dressed like a butcher, walked in, looked at the courtyard first, then at him, and asked, "You are the best desert corpse picker in Gusha Town." ”

Yang Xiao leaned on the stone table and drank another bowl of water, near the desert, people are the most short of water, put down the bowl, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said: "Looking at Gusha Town, there is no better desert corpse picker than me." ”

The butcher shook his head, "I'm not looking for you to find a corpse, but to take me to a place." ”

Yang Xiao made a move, and instantly returned to his original state, living for eighteen years, and when he encountered such a task for the first time, he was curious: "What place?"

The butcher stared into his eyes and said, "Absolute Dragon Valley." ”

Burst!

Yang Xiao squirted out a mouthful of water, as a desert corpse picker, there is no one who does not know the Absolute Dragon Valley, it is known as the Jedi of living beings, where evil ghosts are rampant, I have never seen people go in, and I have never heard of anyone coming out of there.

Being able to be a corpse picker in the first desert, he naturally has the ability that ordinary people can't, and after dealing with corpses for a long time, he can smell the smell of corpses from a long distance.

Yang Xiao had sniffed it from afar, there were definitely a lot of things dead in the Absolute Dragon Valley.

Turning back to the house, "No, I won't go for any amount of money." ”

The butcher's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said loudly: "One hundred taels of gold, I don't need you to take me into the valley, just go nearby." ”

Yang Xiao's body was stunned, his heart jumped violently, a hundred taels of gold, he could earn about one tael a year, and the price offered by the butcher was enough for him to earn for a lifetime.

Turning around and looking at the person in front of him, the first thing that caught his eye was the knife on his waist, the ordinary pig-killing knife was less than a foot, and the pig-killing knife on his waist was twice as large.

Looking at his clothes again, he had never seen this kind of animal skin, and at a glance, it was as if a fierce beast was staring at him, and the hair of the person watching was trembling, and a cool air crawled behind him.

Seeing the hesitation in Yang Xiao's eyes, the butcher offered again, "Two hundred taels, this is all the money on me." ”

"I'm ...... this business Did. Yang Xiao hesitated for a while and said, two hundred taels of gold was enough for them to go to the nearby Dusk Water City and become a small landlord.
