The night of late spring is cool, mixed with the sound of frogs and insects, which has a unique style.

Lu Qingyu carried a dim lantern, followed behind Father Liu dizzily, and walked towards the entrance of the village with one foot deep and one foot shallow, without the slightest energy to see the scene.

In order to make a living, she followed her neighbor Liu Dad to find a job sewing corpses in Yizhuang.

"Xiaoyu, I heard that there are a lot of dead bodies today, we can make a lot of money tonight." Daddy Liu in front suddenly turned around and smiled at her excitedly.

In the dim lantern light, Lu Qingyu only saw his big yellowed teeth.

She grinned in surprise, "yes, we're going to have to work hard tonight." ”

Although she is a female baby, she lives in a poor rural area, and she does the work of day and night, she usually dresses up as a man, and has been following a group of rough old men for a long time, and her tone is stained with some boldness!

"Well, you have to take out your unique work tonight, I'll carry a few more, you can sew well." After Daddy Liu finished speaking, a pile of white silver seemed to emerge in front of him.

"Hmm." Lu Qingyu pursed his lips and smiled, didn't say anything more, and hurried away.

Along the way, in addition to the high and low footsteps of the two of them hurrying, there were also the low howls of various beasts in the valley, which made the night particularly sad.

Yizhuang was seven or eight miles away from their village, and the two of them hurriedly drove away in a hot sweat, and it took half an hour to arrive.

Less than the second watch, it was the time when the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the day was dark, and I couldn't see my five fingers.

There are two watermelon lanterns hanging under the eaves at the entrance of Yizhuang, fluttering in the wind. The gatekeeper was an old man in his fifties, known as Lao Zhangtou, who had no children and no daughters, and was lonely and widowed all his life.

At this time, he was poking his hands and pacing in front of the door. As soon as he saw Father Liu coming over with Lu Qingyu, he was overjoyed, just like seeing a lonely boat in the ocean, he walked up to meet him, "You guys are here, you are all in the courtyard, I don't dare to go in alone." ”

"Can they eat you?" Daddy Liu quipped, first held the lantern that was clearly extinguished, pushed open the door, and strode in.

Old Zhang shrunk his neck and muttered, "Who knows if they eat people or not?" "I went in with him.

Lu Qingyu smiled silently behind him and followed up.

There were four carts in the courtyard, and there were black piles of corpses on them.

When Daddy Liu saw it, he first whistled happily, "Tsk, I can make a lot of money tonight, enough to drink several pots of old wine." ”

"yes, you old thing." Old Zhang Tou followed him, looked at the corpse on the cart with his head probed, and lowered his voice to speak.

"Why are you so here tonight?" Lu Qingyu had already untied the cowhide bag wrapped around his waist and asked casually.

"Hey, I heard from the people in the yamen that these were all fished up from the river in the east, and the dead were all young men of seventeen or eighteen years old, all of them were injured, and they didn't know what happened?"

After Lao Zhangtou said this, Lu Qingyu also took it to heart, and took a lantern forward to take a photo.

Sure enough, the people lying on the four big carts were all young people, all of them in black clothes and black shoes, but they all looked terrifying.

There are those who are missing arms and legs, there are those whose brains are split in half to expose their brains, and there are those whose stomachs are cut open and their intestines are dragged......

"Really!" Lu Qingyu sighed, thoughtful, "Looking at this way of death, it looks like a war, but this dress is ordinary." ”

If there is a real war, the dead will not be allowed to wear military uniforms?

Daddy Liu didn't care about this, he suddenly turned around, raised a finger at Lao Zhangtou and shook it, "Old rules, one article!" ”

Lao Zhangtou was taken aback by his cold movements, and almost didn't scream, glared at him angrily, and said angrily, "Money, money, money, you know money." It's up to you to die on the money. ”

Father Liu didn't pay attention to him, only stuffed the torch in his hand into his hand, rolled up his sleeves and tucked the corners of his clothes, and first picked up a dead man's arm and dragged it up, but his mouth shouted to Lu Qingyu, "Xiaoyu, go to the house." ”

"Hey." Lu Qingyu hurriedly agreed and carried the lantern into the house.

It was a straight room, with several huge wax sticks burning in it, and a dozen straw mats on the floor, which were used for the corpses.

She hung the lantern in the corner of the door, blew it out, sat down, opened the leather bag, and laid out the scissors, needlework, and brushes.

Father Liu skillfully threw the dead body on his back onto the mat, and Lu Qingyu leaned in, first sewing the head that was about to be broken, and then sewing the bloody flesh on his face, and then took a small brush and dipped it in water to brush the blood on the neck and face of the dead corpse.

Yizhuang is a place dedicated to storing the ownerless corpse, and the county magistrate here is a kind-hearted person, and he specially found someone to stitch up the wounds of the dead corpses. It's just that no one wants to take this job, so the price is quite high - one body and one penny.

Although Daddy Liu is bold, he can't do this delicate work, seeing that Lu Qingyu's orphans and widows' houses are surrounded by walls, and they can't see the next meal after eating, he kindly told her, who knew that she agreed.

No matter how much, anyway, one body and one penny, it is a certainty.

Daddy Liu sometimes can't earn Lu Qingyu.

As soon as a corpse was sewn up, Daddy Liu threw the second corpse on the mat next to him, and stretched out his head to look at it without blushing or panting, smacking his mouth, "It's a handsome offspring, why did he die?" ”

Lu Qingyu was accustomed to it, so he didn't say anything, and then moved his nest and began to stitch up the next corpse.

It was a broken leg, a little more troublesome, and she didn't have the time to speak.

Father Liu glanced at the sewn corpse a few times, then pulled the old man at the door and pointed, "Look at this technique, it's really peculiar, it's more powerful than the most ingenious sister in our village, this person is the same as not dying." ”

Lao Zhangtou was so frightened that he closed his eyes, and waved his hands to advance or retreat.

There are still two big living people when they come in, and when they exit, there will be dead bodies all over the yard.

Daddy Liu looked at him disdainfully and snorted, "Look at your cowardice", and carried the sewn corpse out with his hands.

The two of them just carried back and sewed, and before they knew it, they did it until the third watch.

Old Zhangtou is also tired, Daddy Liu is also tired, and Lu Qingyu is so busy that he can't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead.

It was silent, and every now and then a low whimper could be heard, like a ghost crying in the dark night.

Daddy Liu carried the last corpse in and threw it on the mat, wiped his sweat, sighed and said, "It's really damn unlucky, I haven't seen a whole body in a night, and this is the best!" ”

Lu Qingyu finished the one in his hand, and silently turned his head to look at the dead body on the mat next to him.

Sure enough, the corpse was all complete, and his face was even more lifelike, except that his face was paler and his lips were blue, but he also had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a straight nose and mouth.

Honestly, this is the most beautiful corpse I've ever seen tonight.

Looking at that figure, he was also tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, but unfortunately, a wound on his chest was bubbling with blood, and he was killed with a knife.

Lu Qingyu looked at it indifferently, not like Daddy Liu's ups and downs. Xu has seen too many corpses in his life, and no matter how beautiful they are, he doesn't care about them.

"Look at this murderer, he is also a master!" After a long time, she came to the conclusion and squatted down to stitch up.

Father Liu pulled Lao Zhang's head and walked out, "Xiaoyu, you hurry up, I'll settle accounts with your Grandpa Zhang." ”

"Hey!" Lu Qingyu agreed in a low voice, neatly threaded the needle and thread, and pierced it.

"Hmm......", a muffled snort, in the lonely night, like a stone thrown into the lake, ripples.

"Did you hear that?" The old man who had just stepped out of the threshold was so frightened that he was full of excitement, one foot lifted, the other foot fell, and his neck twisted back in a strange position, perhaps in a hurry, making a crisp sound.

Daddy Liu also widened his eyes in disbelief, opened his mouth wide, and looked back at the dead body on the mat.

"Little ...... Xiaoyu, yes, yes, is he? He has always been known for his boldness, and his words are not good.

Lu Qingyu's hand holding the needle was also a little trembling, although he was used to seeing all kinds of dead corpses, it was the first time he heard the screams of dead corpses.

She's also a little at a loss.

"It's not good, it's a corpse!" Lao Zhang's legs trembled, and he didn't have the brains to say a word, and he didn't care that he was still stepping on the threshold, and he ran out lifelessly.

Helplessly, he was old and frail, so it didn't matter if he rushed over it, he tripped over the threshold and fell into the mud.

Father Liu is a conscientious person, seeing that Lu Qingyu was still standing there, he said that it was too late, so he rushed over in a few steps, pulled Lu Qingyu's arm and ran out.

"Daddy, daddy, I haven't taken the money yet." Lu Qingyu came back to his senses and muttered.

"What more money? It's all cheated corpses, why don't you run? "Daddy Liu has been used to rough work all his life, and although he is not young, he is still running vigorously.

"Hey, don't leave me." The old man lay on the ground and couldn't get up, so frightened that the ghost cried and cried wolf.

Lu Qingyu was angry and funny, and he shook off Daddy Liu's hand at the gate and said, "Daddy, where is the corpse?" Maybe the man wasn't dead. ”

She's been dead once since she came through, and to be honest, she's very open to life and death.

"It's all pierced to the heart, can you still die? You stupid boy, don't risk your life for those pennies. Father Liu went to pull the door with one hand, pulled Lu Qingyu's arm with the other, and persuaded him bitterly.

Lu Qingyu took a few steps back and smiled helplessly, "Dad, even if it's not for money, we have to take Grandpa Zhang away, right?" ”

Father Liu was a little afraid, but he couldn't hold back the uneasiness of his conscience, so he had to go back with her.

Before he got to Lao Zhangtou's side, he smelled a smell of urine.

Lu Qingyu didn't react, but Daddy Liu understood, and kicked the old Zhang who was lying on the ground, "You are not ashamed!" ”

After saying that, the two of them helped Lao Zhang's head.

Lu Qingyu glanced inside, and saw that the dead body was lying there motionless, as if it was really dead, so he relieved himself and said, "Maybe it wasn't dead just now, but this son is really dead." ”

Hearing this, Lao Zhangtou breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Daddy Liu, "They are all big men, what's there to be ashamed of?" ”

Father Liu glanced at Lu Qingyu, but didn't say anything.

Lu Qingyu dressed as a man, and he didn't want to reveal it.

Lu Qingyu ignored Xiao Jiujiu between the two of them, walked straight to the corpse, squatted down and carefully examined the wound, the more he looked at it, the more puzzled he became: Obviously the wound was in the heart socket, how could he still scream just now?

Curiosity came up, and she simply ripped off the clothes of the dead body, which was really shocked.

I saw that the man was covered in dense scars, bloody, and the skin and flesh were turned over, and there was no good place.

It seems that this man has suffered a lot of sins in his life.

She lowered her head slightly, and looked at the heart by the candlelight.

Fresh blood poured out of it, obscuring the shape of the wound.

She didn't see her eyebrows after looking at it for a while, and was about to get up, when she suddenly heard a slight throbbing sound.

That's right, it's the sound of a heartbeat!

She was startled, this person is really alive?

It was only when she leaned down close to the man's chest that she heard the faint but regular throbbing sound on the right.

An ordinary person's heart grows on the left, but this person's heart is on the right!

Mirror Man! Mirror Man!
