Can the walking corpse still save people, and can still speak?

Look, these things can't hang the rope down and pull me!

Combined with the bell we heard before, I immediately reacted, this is not an ordinary walking corpse, it is a corpse of one of the three evils in Xiangxi.

Sure enough, a man came out from behind the walking corpse and smiled at me: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

This man is a middle-aged man, thin and withered, with figure-eight eyebrows, full of folds, cheekbones and jaw bones, not to mention how strange it is, dressed in black cloth, carrying a snakeskin bag in his hand, the most strange thing is that on this hot day, he even wore an old sheepskin shoulder.

"You're the corpse catcher?" I couldn't help but ask.

"That's right!" The corpse catcher was a little surprised when he saw that I was able to tell his origin: "You are a foreigner, and you know this business?" ”

The corpse chaser industry was more popular in the previous years of war and chaos, and there were strangers who died in other places, and they had to go home for burial, but the road here in Xiangxi was so difficult to walk, the cattle and horse coffins could not be transported out, and the dead could not walk home by themselves.

The last time I saw Guo's ass turned into a corpse, it was Mansen who drove him back, and that was the first time I opened my eyes, and this time it was the first time I saw the real corpse team.

That bell rings, called the Dementor Bell, is like the Indian flute on TV that can lead snakes to dance, and when the Dementor bell rings, the walking corpse will follow the bell.

As for why this kind of difficult place is picked, it is also because of the taboo of chasing corpses, it is dogs, and dogs are generally raised in this village, if the dog barks or pounces, it is easy to startle the corpse, then it will be troublesome, so the more difficult the road, the more willing they are to walk, because the difficult road is empty, secluded, generally speaking, it is the same as an airplane, with its own fixed "route".

The corpse chaser saw that we also knew about the corpse, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "I was afraid of scaring you just now, it turns out that you also know this Mo, that's good, that's good, you see it's so late, you don't know the way, it's difficult to get out, if you don't dislike it, just go with us, there is an inn at dawn, and you can rest." ”

When I heard this, I quickly thanked him.

It's great to be able to rest, it's so dangerous here, Lu Hengchuan is so unreliable, this time I can meet someone to rescue, and then roll down a mountain stream cliff, I don't want to taste that kind of life, and I feel much more at ease if I go with a guide.

Besides, if you can find an inn, you don't have the luxury of cooking ducks, if you really have a little glutinous hot tea, it will be better.

Thinking of this, my stomach thundered again.

The corpse chaser also heard this, and was a little surprised, and hurriedly said, "I have this here, eat it with you!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a bamboo tube from his bosom and stuffed it into my hand.

The bamboo tube is glutinous rice with red dates, sprinkled with yellow sugar and steamed, just like the hungry bamboo tube dumplings sold on the street.

Although it was cold, with the aroma of bamboo leaves, it was delicious when I smelled it, I was so happy in my heart, I was about to take it out and eat it, but Lu Hengchuan snatched it up.

I thought he was going to grab food with me, and I just wanted to scold him, but I didn't think that he would return it to the corpse chaser in a gentle manner: "This is something you took to ward off evil spirits, come out and walk, or leave it just in case." Don't worry about him, don't look at him thin, don't be hungry. ”

Who said that Lao Tzu is forbidden to starve, have you raised Lao Tzu or what?

But after thinking about it again, I also understand that glutinous rice with red dates is a special way to overcome corpse gas, if there is really a corpse, glutinous rice can be calmed by wiping the heavenly spirit cover.

And the addition of brown sugar is to increase the viscosity and prevent this thing from falling off.

Hey, since that's the case, I'm really embarrassed to eat other people's emergency things, and I'm not embarrassed to say anything: "Yes, yes, I'm not particularly hungry." ”

The corpse chaser took it, and then asked: "Listen to your accent, it's not a local, speaking of which, what did you two do in Xiangxi, why did you end up there?" ”

Before I could speak, Lu Hengchuan said first: "The two of us are out on a trip, and he heard that there are a lot of strange customs here, so he had to let me accompany him to come and have a look, but he accidentally fell down, and I went down to save him, and the two of them couldn't come up." ”

Why don't you blink? Not a word of truth!

When the corpse catcher heard this, he looked at me with a condemning eye, and of course he didn't say anything, so he continued: "Fortunately, you are blessed with a great life, nothing to do, go up to the inn for a while, and rest for a while, but in the future, Mo Demon will come to die, for ordinary people like you, this place is evil!" ”

This corpse chaser is really good, and he is quite enthusiastic.

I agreed, and as he shook the bell in his hand, I led the dead man forward.

The way the walking corpse was driven away was different from that of ordinary walking corpses, one by one, one shrugging and one by one, looking very tired and panicked.

And Lu Hengchuan had already chatted with this corpse chaser and asked how these people died this time.

The corpse chaser sighed and said, "Poor, it's mining in the mountains, and there is jade here, you know?" It's a pity that the mine collapsed, and it was all buried in it, all of them were broken, and it took a lot of effort to put them together.

I said why is the posture so weird, I guess their joints are immobilized.

The corpse chaser may be the reason for his work, and he rarely can find someone to talk to, and he talked to Lu Hengchuan, who pretended to be cheerful, saying that now that the transportation is developed, this business is not easy to do, or a poor country, can't get on the carriage and horses, and can't afford to hire a plane, so they can let them come to drive the corpse, Lu Hengchuan asked sympathetically how about food and clothing, and the corpse chaser also shook his head, saying that he could barely make ends meet, and this business may be extinct in the future, but anyway, the whole family is not hungry when a person is full, and he can't accept apprentices to do this, but it's nothing.

I really sympathize with him, this empty craft, and the feeling that there is no successor is a bit similar to Wang Deguang.

And this person's physiognomy, just by Lu Hengchuan's usual ears and eyes on me, I can also see a little fur, the nose is crooked and broken, which means that there will be big setbacks and changes in life, I am afraid that I will be lonely for life, the Fude Palace is sharpened and there is no flesh, there is no blessing, the brother's palace is interrupted, the family is discordant, the husband and wife palace is low and the flesh is thin, the wife is restrained, the children's palace is dry and boneless, and the lord has no children and no daughters.

, this physiognomy is simply shocking, where is there such a lack of five disadvantages and three deficiencies, no wonder you did this business.

Because the corpse chaser has a rule, first, he must be ugly, and if he is ugly, he will be fierce and be able to suppress evil things, and second, he must be hard, and his life must be hard, and the dead are afraid of him.

In the past, I heard that many corpse chasers were wanted by the government and had to wash their hands in gold to change careers, because that kind of person was full of blood and had evil spirits on his body.

This corpse chaser is not bad, if it weren't for him, we might have fallen to our death.

After walking for a while, I finally saw a small house in a col, and there was still a light in it.

And when the inn heard the movement, a shopkeeper came out, obviously knowing the corpse chaser, and greeted: "Bringing new guests?" ”

The corpse chaser nodded, and said with a smile, "Take care of it." ”

The boss agreed: "There are a lot of new customers today." ”

Saying that, he enthusiastically let the corpse chaser inside, and gave him the way to release the corpse, obviously specializing in the trading of corpse chasers, and also collecting the dead, and the sex may be similar to Yizhuang.

I just wanted to go over and find a place to rest for a while, but suddenly Lu Hengchuan pulled me, lowered his voice, and said, "Li Qianshu, be careful." ”

Yes? I looked back at him, "What do you mean?" ”

Lu Hengchuan said in a low voice: "I looked at it from behind just now, the face of this corpse chaser is the back of his head, this is a fierce appearance, which means that eighty percent of this person's hands have been killed." ”

, I couldn't help but be surprised, I still remembered the matter of Jiang Yang's thief before, is this enthusiastic corpse chaser also a fugitive?

Lu Hengchuan continued: "And these walking corpses are also wrong, don't you see it?" ”
