Chapter 7: The Flower Blooming on the Corpse (I)

This story is a long time ago, and now that I think about it, it seems like a nightmare. Even after all this time, that scene is still deeply reflected in my mind.

And the one who brought all this horror......

I closed my eyes.

Legend has it that the soil of the deceased would grow a grass with a slender snake stem, a strange red vein on the veins, and a bewitching stamen, purple-red and hanging down to the ground, with stems digging deep into the ground in order to absorb more nutrients. It is commonly known as "falling yin", also known as "weeping stamen".

Weeping stamen grows in a very harsh environment and generally survives in extremely cold places. But if you use corpses as nourishment...... Its flowers have a strange fragrance and can make people hallucinate.

"Boss Zhu! Change rooms. My room is so damp that it stinks. ”

Boss Zhu behind the counter raised his head, which covered half of his face with a headband, and smiled politely at the fat man with oily hair and pink face standing in front of him. Immediately, he was handed a key.

The fat man broke a mouthful of saliva and muttered angrily, "What the hell, Lao Tzu is here to play, but not here to be angry." ”

The little boy at the table saw this scene and felt strange, so he turned his head and asked the adult next to him.

"Dad, why is that uncle angry?"

Chen Bai was also very depressed at the moment. The fat man said well, and everyone in this inn had a feeling.

This retro-style inn is built on a hill with a suspension bridge at the bottom of the mountain, and the group is still normal when they come, thinking that they will leave tomorrow morning, but the bridge will break that night. There is no signal here, only the boss's phone can be reached, and I don't know how long the rescue will take.

The thought of the bridge made his brow tighten. He had checked that the chains were clearly man-made, and he looked up, scanning everyone in the seat with keen eyes.

"Xiaoqi, it's okay, it'll be fine in a few days."

Xiao Qi shook his head sensibly.

He looked at the store curiously, revealing the childlike playfulness of a child, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the glass vitrines in the corner that could accommodate one person. I was immediately intrigued.

It was a beautiful bouquet of flowers, blooming brilliantly and warmly. It's a pity to be in such a dark corner.

At this time, a few adults were bored and curious pacing beside it, and from time to time they even came up to be surprised.

He watched intently, and left the bench and gathered around.

"Xiaoqi, where are you going?"

Chen Bai found that Xiao Qi had left his seat, and he followed Xiao Qi's gaze and also found the flowers in the corner. From the moment he came to the hotel, he had been smelling a faint fragrance, but he didn't expect that there would be this variety of flowers.

He also curiously surrounded it, this look, even more unbelievable, although the glass window was locked, he could still smell the aroma coming from it, and he wondered if there was a hole in it.

A few more people also gathered around, also curious.

No one noticed, and Boss Zhu behind the counter showed a weird smile.

"Does this flower have a name?" I don't know who in the crowd can open their mouths, and turn everyone's eyes to the boss.

"Weeping." He replied in a slow voice.

"Haven't you heard of it? What variety, so unique, also let me buy some will be planted? The man who spoke was a man with glasses, in a suit and leather shoes, and it was obvious that he was very interested in the flower.

"The only unique bouquet in the world that you can't buy anywhere." Boss Zhu replied politely. Everyone present sighed, and everyone knew in their hearts that this boss didn't want to sell at all, so the man had to be amazed.

Chen Bai didn't study flowers much, on the contrary, he felt disgusted, but this bouquet of flowers gave him a different feeling, a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu.

However, he didn't know why he felt uneasy, and he had been in this situation when he was out of the police before, which was a danger signal.

"Dad, can flowers sing, too?" Chen Bai heard the question of his son beside him at this time, and suddenly cried and laughed. Just as he was about to explain, a young man standing next to him suddenly burst out laughing.

"Of course the flowers can't sing, can't they become a sperm if they can sing?" There was a joking tone to say this, and no father could accept it.

"Xiaoqi, what do you think?"

Chen Bai did not reply to the young man's words, but asked slowly and rhetorically.

"I think so." Xiao Qi frowned, and finally replied solemnly.

"You think it can sing, where do you see that? What about later? You have to think like this, why do you think that it is better to be able to sing, and learn to find out?

"Okay." After saying that, he turned his head to look at the flowers. For a child, he just needs an answer now.

It's so easy to find out.

The young man didn't know when he had left, so he glanced at everyone and stopped looking.

As night fell, the people who had gone out for a walk also returned, and a group of about a dozen people gradually returned to their rooms to rest. However, Chen Bai was very curious, the young man, he was wearing a hat at that time, and he didn't look carefully. It was only analyzed by virtue of the experience of being a police officer for so many years.

The next day, the inn was overturned, and one of them disappeared, it was the fat man that day. And the only phone was also taken away!

As a criminal policeman, Chen Bai of course had to take care of it, so he asked the tour guide, but the tour guide didn't know. He clearly counted it yesterday, just the right number.

Boss Zhu also said that he didn't know, when he closed the door, it was already late, and no one went out at all.

Chen Bai checked the number of people, but there was one missing.

What's going on?

Looking at his son, who was clutching his clothes, he suddenly remembered the young man, that's right, the young man yesterday, there were only these people in the tour group, he had just checked them one by one, and there was no such person at all.

If the fat man had disappeared yesterday, it would have been explained, and the young man had raised all the numbers. But where can he go?

In the mountains?

The range is too wide to find.

At this moment, someone in the crowd burst into tears and slammed into the person who was holding her aside.

"I just said don't come! Don't come! If you don't listen, it's okay now, you can't get out! ”

The man on the side may be her lover, and his face is ugly: "How do I know that the legend is true!"

"Legends? What legend? ”

Someone in the crowd was boiling, and Chen Bai saw that the tour guide's expression was wrong, and felt that something was wrong. So he asked the boss to watch the people and let the tour guide talk to him in the room.

"Daddy, I'...... I'm afraid ......" Xiaoqi has never seen this, so he is naturally afraid. So Chen Bai comforted,

"Don't be afraid, Dad is here! Follow me, and don't make a sound when you hear anything. ”

"Hmm!" The child's world is more sensitive.

Closing the door, the tour guide was even more empty, "Let's talk about it!" What happened to the two of them? "We organized a tour this time, because we came from out of town, and we didn't know what was going on here.

"I'm a detective! If you don't say it, what if someone dies? Can you afford this responsibility? Chen Bai scared him viciously, because he knew that for people like him, if he didn't show some deterrence, there would be no at all.

"Poof!"

However, Chen Bai didn't expect him to react so much, and knelt down directly.

Startled Xiaoqi.

"This inn used to be haunted and dead, and I couldn't do it, so I ......"

"That incident is commonly known as "Yin Soldier Borrowing Road", this hotel has nothing else, that is, there is an ancient tomb buried in the back mountain, I heard that it was left by the previous war, and then it appeared after the change of the mountain.

It is said that a large number of white bones and cultural relics were dug up at that time, and many people came to hunt for treasures for the purpose of playing, but in fact, those experts had already come at that time, and the rest was not of much value.

But it still can't stop the hearts of those treasure hunters, so it has become a popular place to play. Until then, my tour guide position was very popular.

Until that happened.

There was a young man, who didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and wanted to dig treasure, but he was stopped a few days ago, but that day we were negligent in taking precautions, and he sneaked to the back mountain alone, and I found out later, so I and Boss Zhu ran to find him.

Outcome...... As a result, we saw with our own eyes that there was a thick fog in the huge back mountain, and it was a hot night, but the fog carried a very cold air.

We all felt that something was wrong, it was so foggy, it was not easy to get lost! So we decided to go home. But who knows, we were separated, I was scared alone, but there was nothing I could do, so I dared to go forward, and at this time, I saw a scene that I still remember.

In the thick fog, there was a heavy sound, as if it was striking some blunt object. It's even more eerie in the silence of the night. And the sound came and went, it felt like it was coming from all directions, and I panicked, I didn't know what was going on. At this time, I looked into the distance, from far to near, a row of neatly arranged figures gradually appeared, and I could faintly see holding a long sharp weapon in my hand.

Lined up like an army. But their whole bodies glowed with a faint green light. It has an eerie feel.

I grew so big, I had never seen such a strange scene, and suddenly remembered the story of the Yin soldiers in my hometown, I was so frightened that I fell directly to the ground, covering myself with the weeds around me, I was almost trembling all over, and I felt that my legs were unconscious, which was not the most terrifying thing.

The most terrifying thing was that I saw the young man with my own eyes, his whole body pierced by a sharp weapon, held up in the air, and I felt that those bloody eyes were staring at me all the time.

The blood flowed all over the ground, and it seemed to be heading in the direction of the inn. I then just closed my eyes.

I don't know how long it took, I opened my eyes, got up tremblingly, and found that the fog had dissipated at some point, and the whole back mountain seemed to have nothing happened, and I stumbled back, only to find that the police had come to the hotel.

The reason why I think the direction of the inn is because some of the travelers saw it in the middle of the night. Some people also heard the sound of ping-pong in the hallway.

And the body that the police carried out was the young man. However, he died suddenly in bed, and the strange thing is that his body was covered with black blue, which reminded me of the scene where the Yin soldiers pierced me, and I vomited on the spot. I went back to rest for more than half a year, and the story spread. ”

Chen Bai frowned and listened the whole time, "What about the innkeeper?" ”

The tour guide was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "I heard him say that after he was separated from me, he accidentally returned to the hotel, and this happened as soon as he came back." ”

"That's weird." He muttered.

"Strange! What's so strange? It's good to be alive. The tour guide wiped away his tears and said angrily.

"Then why did it come out again this time? You're not afraid? Chen Bai asked again.

Unexpectedly, he was even more resentful, and shouted loudly, "Of course I'm afraid!" But I still have to support my family, and there are children waiting for a bite to eat. What can I do at my age? I've been a tour guide all my life. ”

Unable to ask anything more, Chen Bai sighed.

"If I were to say it was strange, I just smelled a strange smell, like rotting meat."

"Rotten meat? This is also an important clue. ”

Chen Bai turned around to look at Xiao Qi, but found that the child didn't know when he ran out.

He opened the door and found people outside noisy. A few people were grabbing Boss Zhu's collar, and there was a posture of wanting to fight.

"What are you doing? Gather a crowd to fight and be careful to eat in prison! As soon as Chen Bai's words came out, Boss Zhu was pushed to the ground by several people, and the headkerchief on his face also slipped to the ground.

Everyone present was shocked. Seeing this scene, many people showed disgust.

The headband was under him, and there were huge black spots on the left half of his face, as if they had been burned, and it looked strange and disgusting, and he hurriedly covered it with his hands, but it was still seen by everyone.

"Are you alright?" Chen Bai squatted down, helped him up, and handed him a headband.

At this time, someone in the crowd said, "The face of the black-hearted boss is also black." ”

It can be seen that Boss Zhu is very angry, and when he heard this, his face turned red. They probably already knew about it.

Chen Bai asked the tour guide to dismiss them back to the house and not to run around, so as not to have another accident. As for the fat man, only wait for the rescuers to come.

He glanced around and saw that Xiao Qi was standing in front of the glass window. He walked over lightly and patted him on the shoulder.

"Daddy, this flower is crying."

"Say what? I'm talking nonsense again, Dad is busy with something happening here, you have to be sensible, I'll take you out to play next time. Never again, I promise. ”

Xiao Qi nodded. Still staring at the flowers.

He looked at the flower, which seemed to be slowly deepening in its purple-red color. He recalled its name and couldn't help muttering,

"Weeping ......"

A pair of eyes are secretly watching them at the moment.
