Zhuo Datong's limbs were cold, staring at his wife who suddenly appeared on the wooden chair in the courtyard in front of him, he was not only frightened at the moment, but also had a feeling of falling into a dream.

Dare to get closer, and take a closer look, it is indeed Jiang Guirong, and the other party's eyes are closed, without any life, it looks like he has been dead for a long time.

The strong stench poured into his nose again, and Zhuo Datong couldn't help but take a step back.

He hesitated slightly, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Gui Rong? Gui Rong? ”

Staring at Jiang Guirong's sallow cheeks, the other party didn't react at all.

Zhuo Datong looked around, the door of the courtyard was closed, there were no other abnormalities around, and even the furnishings had not been moved.

Why is Jiang Guirong here? Looking at it, this is indeed the corpse of my wife, not a ghost, not a fake!

Could it be that she got up from the grave herself, walked more than four kilometers in the middle of the night, and returned home?

After this terrifying thought arose, Zhuo Datong couldn't help but shudder.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand and touched Jiang Guirong, who was sitting upright.

As his hand approached, Jiang Guirong's body slowly fell to the other side, falling to the ground with a thud, along with the chair.

"Dead, really dead?!" Zhuo Datong's face turned pale with fright, and the whole person was stunned in place, at a loss.

After a long time, he finally recovered and pinched his thigh, it hurt very much, this was not a dream, his wife's body was in front of his eyes.

Zhuo Datong was finally able to think normally at this moment, he squatted down again with the courage to touch Jiang Guirong's already stinky hand, which was cold and without any temperature.

A dead man can't go home on his own!

The frightened Zhuo Datong thought about it, quickly returned to the house to find a freshly washed dark blue sheet, returned to the yard to cover his wife's body, and then returned to the house and poured himself a large glass of water and drank it in one gulp.

After a long time, he became calmer again, hesitantly returned to the place where Jiang Guirong was lying, turned up the sheet that covered the part of the other party's head, and stared at Jiang Guirong's face.

"Gui Rong?" Zhuo Datong couldn't help but scream again.

In fact, even he didn't know why he did this, just because the matter was too bizarre, if Jiang Guirong walked back by herself, she would most likely be able to hear herself.

After a pause, still without any response, Zhuo Datong stood up, went to the house and took out two thousand yuan, stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and then opened the courtyard door a door.

Standing at the door, he glanced back at Jiang Guirong's corpse, and a chill rose in his heart again, and he closed the door and left.

After coming to the street, Zhuo Datong went straight to the coffin shop of Old Man Ye at the end of the adjacent street, and came to Old Man Ye's coffin shop out of breath, it was still early at the moment, and the door was not opened at all.

Zhuo Datong knocked on the outside door, and after a long time, footsteps came from inside.

"Who?"

"Lao Ye, I, Datong." Zhuo Datong replied at the door.

"You...... Hasn't the coffin money already been settled? Old man Ye rubbed his eyes in the room, talking to himself with some confusion.

In normal times, no one will knock on the door of the coffin shop without any luck, unless the family is in need, or to pay the bill.

Coffin money is usually owed on credit, because this is a bad omen in the eyes of ordinary people, so Old Man Ye never worries about the problem of others not paying off their debts.

Opening the door, Zhuo Datong stood at the door sweating profusely, and said, "I know it's settled, and now I have something else to do with you." ”

"What's the matter?" Old man Ye looked at him.

"Give me the phone number of the corpse bearer you usually contact, I have an urgent matter." Zhuo Da Tongdao.

"What corpse bearer? Those are my apprentices, who follow me to eat. Old man Ye said angrily: "Buy the coffin in my store to carry the corpse, usually they don't do this kind of work." ”

"I'll give the money!" Zhuo Datong was anxious.

Old Man Ye was a little surprised, stared at his eyes, and asked, "What are you doing here?" Isn't the funeral over? Why do you still have to carry corpses? ”

Zhuo Datong wanted to say that I couldn't lift it alone, so he endured it and said, "Don't ask too much, in short, do me a favor, I will give you 2,000 yuan as a hardship fee and reward, and you let your two apprentices carry the corpse for me." By the way, you also came to take a look, you often do this, you should know some doorways, I'm fascinated now! ”

Old man Ye grabbed his arm, "Datong, let me tell you, if you hide anything from me, I won't help with this, and it's impossible to give any amount of money!" ”

Zhuo Datong was so anxious that he couldn't help it, so he leaned into his ear and said something.

The more Old Man Ye listened, the more frightened he became, and by the time Zhuo Datong finished speaking, his face was as pale as paper.

"My two apprentices and I came over at noon, you go back first, find a bigger sheet to wrap her, now the neighbors are up so we can't do it for the time being, we will carry it out at night."

Zhuo Datong couldn't help nodding, took out the two thousand yuan and stuffed it into Old Man Ye's hand, and left quickly worriedly.

When he returned home, there were more and more pedestrians on the street, and he turned around and closed the door immediately after entering the courtyard, and when he looked back, he saw that the body was still lying on the ground, the same as when he left.

With a little relief, Zhuo Datong quickly walked into the bedroom of the inner room, found a larger light gray sheet, and found a bundle of hemp rope in the courtyard.

He came to Jiang Guirong's corpse and squatted down, first spread the big sheet on the ground, and then dragged Jiang Guirong's body to the middle of the sheet, rolled it up at both ends, and stuffed it in the middle.

Tie the two ends with a rope, and tie the knotted part of the rope with a loop of string to form a dead knot.

In the end, he was uneasy and tied two more circles in the middle of the corpse to ensure that he could not see at all, and then sat on the ground panting.

At this time, Zhuo Datong was sweating profusely, his body bones were already weak, and he couldn't lift Jiang Guirong's body alone, so he could only drag it just now.

After sitting for a while, my stomach began to drum and a feeling of hunger hit.

Since getting up in the morning, he just drank water and didn't eat anything, Zhuo Datong was afraid that he would faint if his blood sugar was low, so he got up and washed his hands, and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles.

When I was carrying the noodle bowl to eat, I found that I had no appetite at all.

Just standing at the door of the inner room with the bowl in his hand, staring at the corpse that had been tied up in the yard, his heart was not good for a while.

"I'm sorry, Gui Rong! But you...... How the hell did you get back? ”

I ate half of a bowl of noodles and couldn't eat it anymore.

The sun came out a moment later, and Zhuo Datong was afraid that the corpse would decay faster after being exposed to the sun, so he hurriedly went to the yard and dragged Jiang Guirong's body to a shady place under the eaves.

I just waited and didn't do anything.

It was about noon when there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

As if in order to reduce Zhuo Datong's worries, the voice of the old man Ye sounded: "Datong, open the door, it's me." ”
