Chapter 14: A Hundred Years of Ancient Corpses

Old Man Zheng hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Do you know about the burning incident that happened to us a few years ago? ”

"Burn the corpse?"

All of our curiosity was ticked off, and we all stopped and turned our eyes to him.

A few years ago, when a farmer was working in the field, he found a hundred-year-old corpse with a stiff body but not rotting, and his body was wrapped in heavy cloth.

"At that time, the police station asked me to take a look." It was a corpse that had been expelled before it was buried.

There is no trace of the burial goods displaced, and it does not look like a tomb robbery, but the coffin lid is hidden.

And since the excavation of the tomb, local radios, mobile phones and other electronic products have failed. It also makes strange noises at night, like asthma or muffled vomiting when a person's lung pressure is insufficient.

I handed Old Man Zheng a glass of water, he took a sip and continued: "Then they found me. ”

"And then?"

"You can't treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and then I burned the body."

Looking at his breezy appearance, I always feel that no matter how powerful the character is, in his mouth, he is a scumbag and not worth mentioning.

Uncle Zhao didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, brother, you know, I can't go back." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards his room. When the servant saw that we had finished eating, he leaned into Old Man Zheng's ear and whispered something.

"I've got some things to do, I need to go out for a while, you guys rest first, and take my friends to the guest room." Turning to the servant, he commanded.

Looking at the man who had already driven away, I always felt that something was weird, indescribably weird.

"Thank you"

I politely thanked the servant, and then followed Pei in. Among all of them, I feel that I get along with Pei. Li Wen's kid has always wanted to let himself die, and Zhao Li is a fox again, and he has been using himself all along.

Although Pei was entrusted by Zhao Li to take care of himself, compared to others, he had already calculated it.

Pei poured out a cup of tea from the white jade pot and drank it in one go.

"I'm dying of thirst." After saying that, he took a piece of pastry from the small tray next to him and ate it with tea.

"This cookie is good, it's just a little dry." While eating, I also evaluated.

"Didn't you just get full?" I remember the first few times Pei ate, the amount of food was a little bigger, but it didn't reach this point.

"Can I eat enough at the dinner table?" After speaking, he glanced at Uncle Zhao.

I rolled my eyes inwardly: "Are you sure you can eat enough to eat these, I still have some dry food." ”

Pei paused, the hand holding the pastry trembled slightly, and he laughed. "I'm not a pig,"

My hand shook, and the tea that was about to be delivered to my mouth spilled. looked at Pei's strong tendon meat, as well as the height of more than 1.9 meters, and complained in his heart. It's really edible.

"Alas, Mr. Zheng is back."

The window of this room was facing the door, and as soon as I looked up, I saw Old Man Zheng walking in.

"Didn't he drive out?"

Hearing my words, Pei also looked over: "Maybe there was a problem and I took it to repair." Pei didn't care, and continued to discuss tomorrow's plan with Uncle Zhao.

Wrong!

If he just had a car breakdown and needed to be repaired, he could have called the driver at home to pick him up. And......

I glanced up at the clock, three hours and thirteen minutes, and three hours out.

"Mr. Zheng, I'm thirsty and there's no water on it, can you bring me a glass?" I stood on the second floor and yelled at the old man Zheng who had just returned.

Pei showed a frightened expression and said in astonishment, "Isn't there still water here?" ”

Walking to Pei's side, the dim white light shone on Yang Xiuyuan's body, making his skin even paler.

"I suspect there's something wrong with this Mr. Zheng." Although Uncle Zhao was also there, I still chose to speak out. Pei looked at me thoughtfully, and as soon as Uncle Zhao opened his mouth to say something, a knock came out of the door.

All three of us kept our mouths shut.

"Hey, thank you, Mr. Zheng, I have to trouble you to run it yourself." I took the cup from his hand.

"It was my negligence and negligence. Are you there? ”

I sensed his thoughts, "We're talking about going to the tomb tomorrow, is Mr. Zheng coming in?" With that, I leaned over to make a way for him.

"Ah, no need, I still have some business, you guys should rest early."

Looking at the back of the old man Zheng, I narrowed my eyes slightly, this old man, there is really a problem!

"Uncle Zhao, can I take the liberty of asking you a question?" I locked the door. "This Mr. Zheng, how much do you know about him? Or rather, unreliable. ”

Zhao Li was in a complicated mood, and he shook his head. "It's just that we used to go to the inverted fight together when we were young, and then we have always called each other brothers, and we can be regarded as friends of life and death who have suffered hardships."

After saying that, he looked at me and said, "What, do you suspect that there is something wrong with him?" ”

looked up at Uncle Zhao's expression, and finally nodded. "I can't say what the problem is, but I just feel that he is weird."

"Yang Xiuyuan, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence." Pei seemed a little upset and kept glaring at me.

Uncle Zhao closed his eyes and opened them again, and the originally angry emotions faded like a wave, and returned to the usual capable and calm Zhao Li, "Xiaoyuan is right, everyone is suspected of being suspected." ”

Uncle Zhao turned his head and looked over Pei, but Pei felt that his whole person had been seen through. Then, he spoke slowly.

Twenty years ago

"Zhao Li, if I lose this competition, I will voluntarily withdraw, and if you lose, you will withdraw."

"Yes, whoever is afraid is a grandson! But I can say it up front, no matter who wins, we're still good brothers! ”

"Good!"

After all, he lost to me at that time, and how long is he going to struggle now? Instead of holding on to it without the power to resist like now, it is better to admit defeat happily, after all, daring to accept defeat is also a kind of courage.

I fell silent, I didn't understand what brotherhood was. Since I was a child, my family was not particularly wealthy, and I didn't have many playmates.

"Tsk... Twitter..."

These interspersed sounds were particularly noisy, but the strange tone was inexplicably familiar, as if it was ringing in his ears, and the sound was not loud but very penetrating. And that damn chirp!

Wrong! Something is absolutely wrong! It's so lax!

I picked up the knife and made a wide cut in my finger, the sharp pain causing the sound of the argument to fade away, and the smell of blood spread through the air.

"What are you doing!" Pei grabbed my hand a little angrily.

I tilted my head slightly, not understanding why Pei's emotions were so excited.
