Chapter 21: Corpse Gas
Apple Mountain is very lively today, many adults and children in the apple forest are picking apples, everyone is busy and unhappy, and Xiao Qiang stood under the tree in the apple forest, looking at a big scale, constantly registering the weight of apples, and then several old people packed into boxes in batches, and then the young people loaded the boxes on the donkey cart, and when it was dark, they were sent to the town's acquisition station together.
Xiao Yu was also in the apple forest, constantly running around, after he went up the mountain in the afternoon, he felt that today's apples looked worse than yesterday's, and the apple trees were a little listless, but fortunately, the sun was big enough today, so those who came to purchase thought that they were sunburned, and did not arouse suspicion.
Now this apple can still be eaten, and it will not have any impact on people, but after half a month, what will be the situation, it is difficult to say, Xiao Yu also quietly told Xiao Qiang that it is necessary to get all the apples down the tree within two days, otherwise it will not be sold.
Hearing the news, Xiao Qiang was also surprised, and immediately raised the price of picking apples by another point, so that everyone could work hard in the past two days and get all the apples off the tree within two days.
A female ghost, although she has become a ghost, it is impossible to affect the growth of plants on one side, but these plants have begun to decay since the appearance of female ghosts, Xiao Yu really can't figure it out, what is a better explanation.
"Could it be that the female ghost ate the land lord, and the power of the land lord was transferred to the female ghost? What the hell is going on? Xiao Yu stood under the tree, puzzled.
"Yo, isn't this Old Song, why are you here to pick apples? I've heard that you dug up a big tomb over there, why don't you pick up the treasure and do this? ”
Just when Xiao Yu was thinking, a loud voice pulled Xiao Yu's mind back for a while, but when he heard this voice, Xiao Yu knew who it was, he was Xiao Ercang, who was the loud Xiao Ercang.
Xiao Erpao is a bachelor, he is forty years old and has not yet married, and he is usually idle, not farming, he lives by doing casual work for others, and today Xiao Qiang called him up the mountain to help. This person has no other benefits, but he is lively, has a loud voice, and will come to things, so although he is idle, with a mouth, he can also live a decent life.
"Alas, don't say it, the big tomb is very evil, I better not go to join in the fun, I can't stand that windfall."
An old man with gray hair, who looked to be in his sixties, was of medium height, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and carrying a bamboo basket, looking very energetic, but the old man's face looked a little weird, as if there was a layer of black qi shrouded in it.
"Corpse gas?" How can this grandfather have corpse gas on his body, could it be that the tomb they said has zombies?
Zombies, Xiao Yu just heard about it, but he hasn't seen it until now, and just now he also saw that there was black gas on the old man's face, so he judged that it would be corpse gas! As for the difference between corpse qi and yin qi, corpse qi will not kill people for a while, but it will slowly erode people's spiritual intelligence, but yin qi is different, yin qi is like a bomb hanging on the body, which will burst out at any time.
"Evil? Hehe, it's really evil, Old Song, come and sit down, and tell us what kind of evil method it is, let us also increase our knowledge" Xiao Erpao began to gossip.
That Song Lao and Xiao Erpao seemed to be very familiar, so they didn't refuse, came to the apple tree, picked up a big cigarette pouch and said, "This tomb, I heard that it is the tomb of a rich man, it was exposed during the landslide, and when the tomb was first exposed, it was in the middle of the section, and everyone didn't pay attention to it, but half a month ago, a few dolls in my village were playing under it, and they actually picked up copper coins, and the number was very large, which attracted our attention."
Speaking of this, Song Lao took a puff of cigarette and continued, "Everyone knows that there are treasures in there, and the villagers are flocking there, and I will follow to join in the fun, but I am only at the entrance of the cemetery, picking up a few ancient coins, and I dare not go in!" As for the other villagers, they went in, and after they went in, they also got some things, just bottles and jars, but within a few days, these villagers began to get sick, and they talked nonsense, and for a time everyone did not dare to go in, and they all said that this tomb was very evil."
"My son went in too, and he's still in bed! Alas, what a sin," Song Lao sighed.
Xiao Yu was in the rear, he heard it clearly, and he now understood why this old man had corpse gas on his face, it turned out to be contaminated with his son's body, so it was like this! But fortunately, those people bought and released zombies, but they were only stained with corpse gas, and if they released zombies, it would be a disaster.
"If you are sick, find a doctor, I think eighty percent of them are in the tomb and suffer from the cold, just rest for a few days, how can it be so evil" Xiao Ercang said haha.
In fact, what Xiao Erpao wants to say is that there have been a lot of evil things in the relationship recently, and there have been several in the village recently, but if this is all said, I am afraid that no one will believe it yet.
"I found it, the doctor said that it would be good to recuperate for a few days, I hope nothing will happen" Song Lao knocked the cigarette pot on the liberation shoes, then sat up and said, "Go to work, you can still move, and earn a little bit."
Song Lao is from the village on the other side of the mountain, and today he came to pick apples, and after a day of drying in the sun, the corpse qi on his face has not yet dissipated, which shows how heavy the corpse qi is.
"Could it be that the female ghost went to the cemetery?" Xiao Yu was stunned in his heart, but then said, "It shouldn't be, it's just a matter of the past two days, and the female ghost shouldn't know where the cemetery is."
It is getting dark, and the villagers from other villages bring their own dry food, so when it is time to eat, they will sit under the trees and communicate with each other, and the villagers from afar will set up tents directly in the apple orchard, because it is summer, so it is not cold, everyone gathers together, eats free apples, and surrounds the fire, which is also an interesting thing at first sight.
"Xiao Yu, are you okay on the mountain? There are so many people, but don't have anything to do, once something happens, we can't tell" At the dinner table, Xiao Qiang said uneasily.
"Dad, it's okay, that female ghost doesn't dare to come out these days, you can rest assured! If you don't worry, we will sleep on the mountain at night," Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Nacheng, where are they, I don't worry! It's a trivial matter if the apple is lost, if someone dies, it doesn't matter if it's a ghost or a human at home, you eat more, and we'll go up the mountain later."
Xiao Yu originally said it casually, but he didn't expect Xiao Qiang to agree! But that's fine, if you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what happens, it's easy to say anything if something happens, and if something happens, it's a hundred words that you can't argue.
At night, Xiao Yu and Xiao Qiang slept in a tent, and when Xiao Qiang was not paying attention, Xiao Yu directly released the three little ghosts and asked them to patrol around, and if something happened, they would report it immediately! It's just that Xiao Yu forgot one thing, because he promised to burn clothes and paper money for the little ghost, but he didn't expect to forget it today.
"That, don't think about it, I just forgot, now I'm on the mountain again, I'll give you double tomorrow, how about it?" Xiao Yu said embarrassedly.
"Hmph, big liar, we've been waiting all day and haven't received any new clothes," the girl muttered quietly.
"Xue'er, don't talk nonsense, the Taoist just forgot, and he didn't mean it."
"Don't worry, we don't need money now, but I'd better ask the Taoist to remember tomorrow."
The three little ghosts have different faces, some are happy and some are unhappy, after all, they are just children, they don't have any scheming, and everything is on their faces, but Xiao Yu doesn't mind, this matter is indeed his own negligence, he promised the little ghost, and he forgot about it, that is his own problem.
