Chapter Seventy-One: The Red Coat
That's the case with a lot of things, and you can't find a solution, so you just let it go.
Even if Ye Mu and the others wanted to save the chef, they were powerless, after all, even Ye Mu himself was still a zombie face.
As for the three women, Ye Mu didn't bother to think about them, and now he really can't afford to have any nostalgia for those three ugly women.
The previous flower and grass are definitely not their original intention, the person who eats the fruit has no ethical concept, the man simply wants to conquer the 'beautiful' woman, and the woman's pure worship depends on the strong.
This is not love.
It's like a farce.
Without Ye Mu, they will also look for new strong people to cling to, this is not human nature, it is 'beast' nature, and it belongs to the unique nature of those 'people'.
This is the Peach Blossom Spring, a utopia, a pure land independent of this forest, but if you want to live a carefree life, you need to give up something...
For example, humanity and ethics.
After descending the mountain, the people continued on their way, but now they could not find the direction of the sea, but could only continue to follow the direction of the sunrise.
The direction in which the sun rises always gives humans a sense of hope.
Even if it's just a delusion.
It seems to have come to some strange area again, along the way from time to time you can see a large piece of stone forest, the stone forest is full of large and small stone pillars, mountain stone teeth, thousands of stones, the image is strange, or sleep or lie down, or hang or tilt, there are tower-like, tree-like, mushroom-shaped, all in one, make people unsightly.
In this area, the surrounding trees are quite sparse, often separated by dozens of meters, sick old vines and lush trees are scattered and scattered, and the withered green leaves and new leaves that have just pulled out the buds sometimes grow on the same plant, giving people a rather strange feeling.
Except for Lu Xin, the other four people in the group were all dressed in the clothes of café waiters, which looked quite funny from a distance.
"What season is this?" Qin Aowu looked around, the expression on his face was quite confused.
Ye Mu chuckled: "I feel that it should be summer and autumn now, don't worry about these details, in this forest, there is nothing normal." ”
"These stones are so peculiar, but unfortunately I can't take pictures without a camera." Lu Xin's eyes lit up as she stared at the stone forests on both sides.
Seeing Lu Xin's appearance, Ye Mu scratched the dry zombie's head and reminded: "Just look at it from a distance, don't think about going in, try to get around, if you enter the stone forest, you will get lost." ”
"yes, I know." Lu Xin nodded.
Everyone was chatting and joking, and suddenly heard Dai Qing's puzzled voice: "There seems to be someone on the tree?" ”
Everyone was startled, and hurriedly looked in the direction that Dai Qing was pointing.
Then he saw a big withered tree in the distance, all covered with withered yellow and rotten yellow leaves, and on the top of the branch hung a thin figure dressed in red.
Ye Mu and Qin Aowu glanced at each other and led everyone towards the tree.
When everyone came to the bottom of the tree and saw the red-clothed male corpse hanging on the tree, Ye Mu's face suddenly became ugly.
It was the corpse of a young man, the boy was wearing a red flower dress, and a one-piece swimsuit could be faintly seen inside the skirt, his hands and feet were bound with ropes, and he was hanging from a tree in a strange and strange position, apparently dead for a long time. The most bizarre thing was that there was an iron weighing stone hanging from the boy's feet.
Ye Mu looked at the corpse of the boy in front of him in disbelief, and only after half a sound did he speak: "Chongqing... The boy in red?"
After Ye Mu said this, Liu Wen also showed a look of surprise: "Isn't that a supernatural event on the earth?" ”
Ye Mu's eyes were fixed on the corpse on the tree: "Yes, that's it." ”
Qin Aowu obviously hadn't heard of the so-called 'boy in red', and he looked at Ye Mu suspiciously: "What is the boy in red?" Hanged man? ”
Ye Mu took out the last cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and said slowly: "If I remember correctly, it was in 2009, a migrant worker went back to his hometown to send money to his son, but found that his son was hanged on the beam of his house, the boy was wearing his sister's red flower skirt before he died, and he was wearing a red swimsuit inside the skirt, his hands and feet were tied firmly with ropes, and a large scale was hung on his feet, and the boy's hands were also tied to the beams, and he was exactly 13 years and 13 days old when he died. ”
Liu Wen added: "I have also read this report, according to the father of the deceased, usually the back door of the house is never opened, the strange thing is that after the deceased's death, the door and side door were closed, and the back door was opened, but the police did not find the suspect's footprints, nor found the murder weapon, let alone found traces of the boy's body fighting with others, so it can only be judged as suicide." ”
Qin Aowu was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask, "What's going on then?" Has the case been solved? ”
Ye Mu shook his head: "The case was finally determined to be sexual asphyxia, it is said that in the process of sexual asphyxia, the brain will enter a lucid, semi-hallucinatory state due to lack of oxygen. At this time, when combined with physiological O-tides, it produces an addictive stimulus that is as intense as coca-ponic, but many people find this untrue because there are many things that are difficult to explain. ”
Dai Qing listened carefully on the side, and concluded: "For example, the scales on the feet, and the open door, and most importantly, if you really pursue sexual suffocation, there is no need to hang yourself on the beams of the house, this is completely an act of looking for death." ”
Ye Mu glanced at Dai Qing approvingly, and continued: "The day before the crime, the mother of the boy in red dreamed that a man in black who could not see his face clearly at the door of her house, and the man smiled strangely at the boy's mother, and then disappeared; There is another explanation that the boy fell into some kind of folk magic of gods and ghosts, it is said that this is a means of raising ghosts and locking souls, requiring boys and girls under the age of fifteen to lock their souls with red clothes, weigh the souls and fall their souls, one foot above the ground, and the soul can not escape with the soil. ”
Liu Wen muttered, "Why is it here?" ”
Ye Mu shook his head: "I don't know, the weighing stone hanging under his feet means falling soul, if there is no nonsense on the Internet, then his soul should not be able to leave the body for eternity, I think it's better to leave him alone, this matter has nothing to do with us, it's better to go far." ”
"But... This boy is so pitiful, according to what you said, can't he be reincarnated? Lu Xin looked up at the red-clothed boy on the tree, "Can we put him down?"
"No way!" Ye Mu was categorical: "What if it attracts something bad?" ”
"But I really think he's pitiful... Help him. ”
Liu Wen snorted coldly: "Why didn't I see you so sympathetic in the wooden house in the forest?" Because you didn't have time to take care of yourself at the time? ”
"Forget it, Lu Xin, you and him have no reason, don't worry about it." Dai Qing persuaded softly.
Lu Xin's face turned blue and white, her upper teeth bit her lower lip, and she stood under the tree and refused to leave.
Qin Aowu sighed, pulled out his spear and said, "Forget it, I'll help him, it's a good deed." ”
"I'll do it." Ye Mu stopped Qin Aowu, sighed helplessly, and drew his long sword.
Ye Mu pointed his toes on the ground, jumped up, and with a flash of sword light, the body of the boy in red fell from the tree.
Since experiencing a series of things, Lu Xin's courage has also increased a lot, she hurriedly stepped forward, took out the dagger in her hand and cut the hemp rope hanging from the scales on the boy's feet, and said with a happy face: "There is no scale, so he should be able to be reincarnated, right?" ”
"Hmm." Ye Mu frowned and asked, "You don't still want to bury him, do you?"
"No, no, no." Lu Xinqiao's face flushed, and she hurriedly waved her hand, she was embarrassed to cause trouble to everyone anymore
The boy's body was placed under a tree, and the group continued on their way, where there were few edible fruits and animals, so they had to save money and rely on the dry food they had prepared before.
"I'm starting to miss life on Earth again, and I can eat delicious things every day, hot pot, drinks, seafood, desserts." Ye Mu sat under a boulder, chewing on the jerky with a bitter face.
"This is a mountain treasure, and it can't stop your mouth..."Dai Qing glanced at Ye Mu: "Look at you like this, if you return to Earth, you will definitely be arrested as a zombie." ”
Ye Mu looked at his withered hands, covered his cheeks, and burst into tears.
After all, he used to be a handsome and handsome guy, but now he is not a ghost or a ghost, and he looks ugly as a deep drug addict.
Just when Ye Mu was in great grief, a big flesh-yellow scorpion fell from the stone pillar behind him with a 'chirp', and happened to land on top of Ye Mu's head.
Ye Mu was startled, he didn't know what was falling on the top of his head, he didn't dare to move, he squinted his eyes and glanced up, but he couldn't see anything.
Dai Qing beside her had a strange expression, and the girl made a silent gesture at Ye Mu, and then slowly condensed a pistol in her hand, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed at the top of Ye Mu's head.
'Goo...'
Ye Mu swallowed.
"What's wrong?" Qin Aowu walked from the side, his gaze followed the muzzle of Dai Qing's gun, and he was suddenly shocked, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
The shape of this scorpion is like a pipa, the size of an adult's palm, the body bones are distinct, composed of three major segments of the cephalothorax and abdomen, the body presents a flesh-yellow ventral surface and the color of the appendages is lighter, the color of the back abdomen is darker, the most bizarre is its tail spine, the tail spines of the scorpion are composed of a spherical bottom and a sharp and curved hook spine, the tail spines show a deep sauce purple, and at first glance it is highly poisonous.
"Don't move... You have a scorpion on your head" Dai Qing whispered: "Brother Qin Aowu, you go and call Lu Xin to come over..."
Qin Aowu nodded, tiptoed to Lu Xin, and not long after, Lu Xin and Liu Wen walked over behind him, and when the two of them saw the hideous and terrifying scorpion above Ye Mu's head, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
