158 Yizhuang

Brother Xiong took Ah Wen and Ah Hui to kill a horse pistol, and left Fu Ya Cannon and drove directly into the mountain for the second time. They drove until they reached the bottom of the mountain where the car could no longer walk, and then they got out of the car and hiked up the mountain. It also took them a morning to walk to the tanuki forest again to continue looking for clues.

But this harvest is not as good as yesterday, not to mention the ancient tomb, I can't even find a pit. From this, Brother Xiong concluded that this tomb of General Zhongsubo is likely to be just a burial tomb, and if there is really a prince-level tomb here, the location of the main tomb should be on the east side of the general's tomb, that is, on the north peak of Dawangling. His two assistants, Ah Dong and Ah Cheng, may have gone to the North Peak later, but it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and they could only spend the night in the mountains when they went to the North Peak again. Brother Xiong and the three of them came in a hurry, and they didn't have the equipment to prepare for camping in the wilderness, so they had to go home and make plans tomorrow.

The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, with rain in the east and sunny in the west. As soon as Brother Xiong and the others crossed a mountain, thunder began to fall overhead, and then a light rain fell. In addition, it was evening at this time, and the visibility was very low, Brother Xiong, Ah Wen, and Ah Hui stumbled in the mountain, and soon lost the direction they came, but they couldn't find a place to hide from the rain for a while, so they could only go to the bottom of the mountain in the dark.

Gradually, the rain began to fall heavily. In the midst of the chaos, the three of them actually broke into a cemetery, where the graves rose and fell like steamed buns falling all over the ground, and there were always thousands. If ordinary people fall on this scene, I am afraid that they will be scared to the core. But what kind of character Brother Xiong is, he visits the cemetery like a shopping mall, but he is happy. When they arrived at the cemetery, at least it meant that they had walked out of the border of Dawangling, and not far ahead, they should be able to find a village to take shelter from the rain.

Sure enough, about a mile away from the cemetery, they saw the light, and it was the kind of dim light that the electric light scattered through the glass window. It was a cabin in the woods, standing alone in the darkness. Brother Xiong and the three of them were suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over to stand under the eaves, and finally couldn't get drenched in the rain, but at this time they had already become soup chickens.

Brother Xiong stepped forward to knock on the door, and the door soon opened with a "babbling", but only a crack was opened, and a thin old man in Miao costume showed half of his face. The old man's face was full of wrinkles and many age spots, and he looked at least eighty years old. He looked at the three people standing outside the door and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Brother Xiong put on a smiling face and said, "Ah Gong, we are tourists who go up to the mountain to play, and we got lost in the heavy rain, can you let us go in and hide from the rain?" ”

The Miao grandfather shook his head and said expressionlessly: "You guys are hiding under the eaves to hide from the rain, what are you doing when you come in?" ”

Brother Xiong said: "Grandpa, look at this day, the rain is so heavy, and the sky is dark, we can't find another place to spend the night for a while." Why don't you just let us spend the night with you? ”

But the old grandfather still shook his head and said coldly: "I'm not suitable for staying here, you better wait for the rain to stop and go to the village to find a place to live!" With that, he was ready to close the door.

Brother Xiong hurriedly inserted his hand into the crack of the door to stop it, and then smiled patiently: "Grandpa, you should do a good deed, we will not live in vain, we will give you accommodation fees!" ”

Seeing that he couldn't resist Brother Xiong, the old grandfather had to sigh and explain: "You don't know the details! I was already half-buried in the earth, so the village hired me to live here and take care of the graves. This room used to be a righteous village, and in the past two days, there have been dead people temporarily deposited here, if you are brave, come in! ”

When Brother Xiong heard this, not only was he not afraid, but he became suspicious, so he said, "Dead man? Then I'm really going to go in and have a look! Seeing that he was not afraid, the old grandfather let open the door, and Brother Xiong, Ah Wen, and Ah Hui all squeezed in.

The room was not large, only a dim old-fashioned light bulb lit by a small light bulb, and the old grandfather's small stove was cooking, which was still much warmer than the cold rain and cool breeze outside. There is a brick bed on the east and west sides of the house, but there is no kang mouth underneath. The bed on the east side was covered with straw mats and futons, which was obviously where the old grandfather slept. On the brick bed to the west lay two people upright, two dead people, to be exact. For their mats were not spread under their bodies to sleep, but were covered over them, covering their faces.

Brother Xiong had no taboos, walked over and directly lifted the straw mat. The two dead men had long been stiff, their hands and feet could not be straightened, and their five fingers were curled up like chicken feet, but there was a yellow charm on their heads, and Brother Xiong couldn't see their appearances. Although Brother Xiong is anxious, he is by no means reckless. He gently lifted the corner of the rune paper and looked down, sure enough, it was Ah Dong and Ah Cheng, who had been out of touch for a few days!

Brother Xiong's face turned black all of a sudden. Although he was mentally prepared before he came, when he confirmed the bad news with his own eyes, he couldn't help but sink in his heart. Ah Wen and Ah Hui also went over to see, their city was not as deep as Brother Xiong, and when they saw the bodies of Ah Dong and Ah Cheng, they immediately screamed.

Brother Xiong drank them, then turned his head and asked the Miao Ah Gong, "How did they die?" Why is it in your place? ”

The old grandfather was also surprised to see that they actually knew the two corpses. He replied: "I found it two days ago when the villagers went up the mountain, and I heard that the body was lying under a tree on the top of the mountain. They called the police, and the people from the Public Security Bureau also went to see it, saying that they suspected that these two people happened to be standing under the thundered tree and were electrocuted! ”

Brother Xiong listened, and went to check the two corpses again, and sure enough, Ah Dong and Ah Cheng were missing a piece of hair on the back of their heads, which looked like they had been burned by something hot, and there were also burn marks on their clothes.

"The Public Security Bureau finally came to the conclusion that it was an accident and not a homicide." The old grandfather continued, "We are remote here, there is no funeral home and no crematorium, so we have to temporarily store it with me. If the public security bureau can't find a family member to claim it after a few days, it will be cremated on the spot. ”

"And what's going on with these two talismans?" Brother Xiong asked again.

The old grandfather replied: "The talisman is used to suppress corpses." When I was young, I once learned to draw talismans and suppress evil spirits from a Taoist master, and then I have been relying on this ability to earn a living. ”

Brother Xiong saw that the old grandfather's expression was natural, so he believed it. He said to Ah Gong: "We are the families of these two people, and we came to Dawangling this time to find them!" Don't bother the people at the Public Security Bureau, we'll take them back tomorrow for burial! ”

After asking, the rain outside the house was getting heavier and heavier. Brother Xiong gave the old grandfather 500 yuan, one was to thank him for guarding the corpse, and the other was to pay for room and board. After the old grandfather received the money, he cooked another pot of porridge, and the four of them ate a simple meal of pickles, fish and hay to satisfy their hunger.

Relying on the old grandfather's small stove, Brother Xiong and the three of them baked about half dry clothes. At this time, they didn't care too much, the mountain was cold at night, and they would catch a cold if they were bare-chested, so they put on their clothes again.

After eating and drying clothes, Brother Xiong had nothing to do, so he began to clean up the place where he slept at night. Everyone is in the line of fighting, and the two who died are their buddies, and there is no question of taboo or not, polite or unwelcome. They carried the bodies of Ah Dong and Ah Cheng to the ground, and the straw mats were spread back to the west bed, and Ah Wen and Ah Hui slept on them at night, while Brother Xiong and the old grandfather squeezed into the same bed. At nine o'clock in the evening, everyone went to bed early.

Brother Xiong's sleep is relatively light, and he can't sleep well over and over. Finally, in the middle of the night, he felt that something was wrong, so he woke up. The rain was still falling outside the house, and the light bulb that had been left for lighting didn't turn on at some point. Only the old grandfather's stove still has some residual charcoal, emitting some faint light.

"With such heavy rain, maybe it's a power outage!" Brother Xiong thought to himself. But when he turned his gaze to the floor, he was taken aback!

The two corpses were gone, leaving only two pieces of rune paper on the floor!

Brother Xiong sat up with a "snort", thinking that the light was too dim, and he was wrong! But how can two humanoids of such a size be said to be gone?

"Arwen! Fai! Brother Xiong shouted towards the west bed.

But Ah Wen and Ah Hui did not answer. Brother Xiong looked at them and was startled again!

Two dark shadows rode on Ah Wen and Ah Hui's bodies, and grabbed their necks with both hands. Ah Wen and Ah Hui's hands and feet were still wriggling, but they couldn't scream anymore. And the two figures that pressed on them weren't Ah Dong and Ah Cheng who were supposed to be lying on the ground?

Brother Xiong hurriedly turned around and shook the old grandfather beside him, and shouted, "Grandpa! Father-in-law! The corpse is up! The corpse is up! ”

But after shaking it several times, the old grandfather didn't react. Brother Xiong's heart sank again, and he reached out to touch the old grandfather's snort, but he didn't breathe!

Brother Xiong was even frightened, even if he felt panicked. Inverted connoisseurs often have to go to the grave, and there will always be times when they encounter zombies, so they must carry some evil things with them, such as talismans, black donkey hooves, etc. Brother Xiong wanted to get out of bed to get his carry-on backpack, find the hooves of the black donkey and run over to save Awen Ahui, but suddenly, his hands and feet couldn't move, and he lay straight on the bed, unable to scream.

The old grandfather next to him moved at this time, sat up stiffly with his upper body, and turned around to face Brother Xiong. His face had turned a dead man's blue-gray, but his eyes were always closed. Brother Xiong couldn't move, so he could only look at the old grandfather in horror, watching his hand touch his neck.
