Chapter 5: The Massacre
"Corpse water." Zhang Lao Er said.
I said how could there be a familiar smell, it turned out to be corpse water! Thinking of this, my internal organs turned over and almost threw up.
Corpse water is extremely filthy, and it can be said to be the most disgusting thing in the whole world.
Why is it disgusting? Because Zhang Lao Er fished up corpses all year round, he often caught some lonely souls and wild corpses without family members, and because there were no relatives to claim them, Zhang Lao Er hung these corpses in the place of the mountain and waited for the family to pick them up.
And during this time, because the body cannot be metabolized and cannot function normally, it will decompose and produce corpse water, and these corpse water is still poisonous!
Zhang Lao Er gave me corpse water, did he want to kill me? I was so angry that I cursed.
"Yes, corpse water is poisonous, but it can stabilize your body temporarily."
Zhang Lao Er said that although the corpse water is extremely dirty and poisonous, it is produced by the corpse and is an extremely yin thing, which can help me absorb yang energy and temporarily stabilize my body.
When I found Wang Min, I snatched my natal qi back.
"Although corpse water can help you absorb yang energy, it can't replace natal qi after all, and after corpse water enters the body, it will cause great harm to the human body.
So we only have seven days, and if we haven't found Wang Min within seven days, you can't drink corpse water anymore. ”
Only seven days? Is it okay if I don't drink it now? Wait until you find Wang Min's whereabouts and then drink, so that there will be extra time to deal with her, if I drink now, then if Wang Min doesn't show up in the past seven days, then I won't be saved?
I expressed the doubts in my heart, but Zhang Lao Er told me that if I don't drink now, I won't have a chance to drink again in the future. If the body leaves the natal qi for more than twelve hours, the seven-day period will not be there, and it will be useless to drink it again.
This made my heart plummet to the bottom, what should I do if I can't find Wang Min in these seven days?
Zhang Lao Er was afraid that I would be depressed, so he hurriedly encouraged: "Don't be too disappointed, since everything about you is born from me, I will not leave you alone." ”
Think about it now, and that's all it can be.
After Wang Min was injured by Zhang Lao Er last night, she jumped into the water and disappeared, and now she must be hiding in a quiet place to recuperate, and it is more difficult to find her whereabouts than to ascend to the sky.
After drinking the corpse water, Zhang Lao Er asked me to have a good rest, he asked someone to inquire about Wang Min's whereabouts, of course, the person he was looking for was naturally not an ordinary person, as for who it was, he didn't tell me.
I spent the next two days in bed, and since the corpse water was no better than my natal qi, the speed of gathering yang qi was very slow, and I had to drink it every day, and it was not until the third day that I could barely get up and walk around.
But seven days have passed, and I still haven't been able to find Wang Min's trace, which really makes me unhappy.
In the past few days when I was resting, a young man came to Zhang Lao Er to inquire about Wang Min.
This man looked in his early thirties, and when he came in, he didn't identify himself, and asked about Wang Min as soon as he opened his mouth.
In the past few days, a lot of strange things have happened in the village, such as the stubbornness of Wang Fatzi's grave and the theft of his body. Originally, no one knew about this matter at first, until it was involved in another major event.
The night before yesterday, Wang Fatzi's brother Wang De's family of three died tragically at home, and each of them hanged themselves at home, and the way of death was basically the same as that of Wang Fatzi, which directly caused a sensation in the whole village.
At that time, when people entered Wang De's house, they found that there was another person who did not die, that was Wang De's youngest son, the mentally handicapped little "Wang Fat Man".
And this little Wang Fat Man didn't know if he was frightened or how, he actually became not mentally retarded, and he also said in front of the villagers: It was my father Wang De who pushed Wang Min down the river at the beginning, and it was not a pity for him to die.
After finishing speaking, he turned into the mentally retarded appearance before.
Later, when the villagers buried Wang De's family, they were going to bury the body next to Wang Fatzi, but at this time, since it was found that Wang Fatzi's grave was stubborn, the body was gone, and only a black coffin remained.
Many villagers immediately thought of Wang Min and said that the Wang family's treatment of Wang Min was retributed.
The village committee immediately notified the police and asked the police to investigate the matter, but after all, this was a supernatural incident made by Wang Min, and the police could investigate it.
Then the man came to the door.
When Zhang Lao Er saw this person, he was already unfriendly, and he didn't answer any of the questions he asked.
This man knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he was about to leave, but he seemed to think of something again, and looked back at Zhang Lao Er and said meaningfully.
"Last night, I watched the stars in the sky and found that the direction of the Big Dipper was pointing to the mouth of the Sancha River, which reminded me of eighteen years ago, I don't know if you found it?"
"I didn't find anything, you can leave quickly, Xiaofan, send off guests," Zhang Lao Er replied unceremoniously.
After seeing this person leave, I returned to the house and hurriedly asked Zhang Lao Er who he was.
"People from the Kyushu Psychic Department"
Zhang Lao Er said that there is yin and yang in this world, there are ghosts and Tao, since there are evil ghosts that harm people, there are naturally Taoist priests who catch ghosts.
The Kyushu Spiritual Department is a department specially composed of Taoist priests, which is directly under the control of the above and is responsible for dealing with some unnatural supernatural events.
I said why this person came to investigate Wang Min's matter, it turned out to be a Taoist priest.
"And what did he just say eighteen years ago?" I asked.
"It's nothing, there are some things to tell you now, you won't understand, you better worry about your natal qi first"
Zhang Lao Er casually perfunctory two words to me, and then went back to the house to sleep, in the past two days he went out every night for my business, and came back in the morning, so tired.
Looking at his appearance, I must not have gained anything last night, and the seven-day period has passed for three days, which makes me feel more depressed.
During this period of losing my natal qi, in addition to my body being relatively weak, I was drowsy, and I saw that Zhang Lao Er had gone to sleep, and I was ready to go to bed.
Sleeping in bed, I don't know why I think of my family and my parents.
At the beginning, I didn't consult them and followed Zhang Lao Er to retrieve the corpse, although I had good intentions and wanted to earn some money to reduce the burden on my family, but I deceived them after all.
I prepared for the worst in my heart, if I couldn't find Wang Min on the seventh day, I would go back to my house for a day, give them the money I earned during this time, and then go back to Zhang Lao Er and let him support me for the rest of my life.
Thinking about it, the phone rang, and it was my mother calling.
After so much time and so much has happened, this is the first time I have called my family.
After answering the phone, my mother didn't ask me how I was doing as before, but said that Xiao Yun had an accident as soon as she opened her mouth.
I hurriedly asked my little sister what was wrong.
My mother began to cry and cry as she spoke, I hurriedly asked her what happened, she hesitated for a while before she said to me: "Xiaoyun, she is sick"
"Sick? What is Xiao Yun's disease? I asked.
"I don't know, you go home and have a look first"
My mother said that a few days ago, Xiao Yun began to have an abnormality after coming home from school, and she kept screaming cold all day and night, and my parents took her to the hospital, and the hospital couldn't find anything so she came, so she thought of calling me.
I haven't read much, so I naturally don't know what kind of illness my sister has, but I'm still going to go home to see this matter clearly, so I can tell my parents that I followed Zhang Lao Er's corpse.
After all, the paper can't contain the fire, and the matter of participating in the corpse will be known sooner or later, so it is better to go back this time and talk about it in advance.
I was about to say hello to Zhang Lao Er and prepare to go home, but after hearing this, Zhang Lao Er took a delicate small wooden box out of the house, opened it and saw that it was full of stacks of red cabbage leaves, and I had hundreds of thousands.
"Uncle Zhang, what do you mean by that?" This came as a surprise to me.
Zhang Lao Er said that I should go back this time to be filial to my parents, I am afraid that I will not have a chance in the future.
I know what he means, but I also know that my life is not easy to say, anyway, I also came to retrieve the body for the money, and now I bring the money back so that my parents can rest assured of me.
When I got home, my sister was lying on the bed, covering a few thick quilts, and the stove in the outhouse had been moved to her house and a fire was lit. But she kept screaming cold in her mouth, and my mother couldn't stand it from the sidelines, and her eyes were already swollen from crying.
I walked up to Xiao Yun and took a closer look at her face, only to find that her face was pale, without a trace of blood, her lips were purple, and there was a faint black gas between her eyebrows.
