Chapter Thirty-Six: The Desolate Town Is Deserted • The Soil Is Full of Strange Corpses
The sky, somewhat gloomy.
The atmosphere, somewhat gloomy.
Tianji Town.
A sparsely populated, little-known town located not far west of Jinan Province.
Although the town is small and there are few people, the people in the town are also having a good time and enjoying themselves.
But, that's just the past, it's just the past.
Now, the town of Tianji is a different story.
It was a dead silence, desolate, and lifeless.
Because, half a month ago, on an ordinary night in Tianji Town, an extraordinary murder occurred.
A farmer was busy with the unfinished farm work during the day in the middle of the night, but early the next morning, he was found dead in the field......
The villagers laid his body on the shore and sent people to Jinan Mansion to report to the official.
It happened at this moment.
Just as the villagers were waiting for the officers and soldiers to come, the corpse underwent unexpected changes, terrifying changes, terrifying changes.
What's changed?
The corpse of the farmer turned black first with a black face, then with a chest, then with arms, and finally all blackened like black coal.
This is not the end, after the corpse is completely black, it begins to quickly festering and decaying, until finally, the corpse becomes rotten like mud, and it is not over.
From the beginning to the end of the change of the corpse, this series of processes is only two or three hours.
Who lives for decades and hasn't seen a dead man?
It has been seen that there has been no such dead person for decades.
The villagers who watched and witnessed it were all stunned and frightened.
When the officers and soldiers arrived, they were helpless against the corpses that had rotted into mud, and the matter would be over.
After that, the town began to be unpeaceful, and after another three or five days, the people who had not returned home at night began to die one after another as strangely as the farmer, and the villagers in the town were panicked, all of them were like facing a great enemy, and they were frightened, so they abandoned their homes and moved one after another.
Now, all the people in this town who should die are dead, and the people who don't want to die are all dead, and the remaining people who are unwilling to wait for death have already fled.
Except for the officers and soldiers who will come to this place to investigate the case, who will come?
It's a pity that now even the officers and soldiers can't see it.
Today, there are exceptions.
Soon after dawn, three people who were not afraid of death came to Tianji Town.
These three people are Princess Qingtian, Su Zecai, and Zheng Lingshao.
In order to find out the reason, Zheng Lingshao almost investigated step by step, and the loess flowers and plants were all observed.
Unfortunately, nothing was found.
Su Zecai proposed to Zheng Lingshao: "There is no way to go on like this, I am afraid that only by finding a corpse can we find out the clues." ”
Zheng Lingshao nodded: "What Brother Su said is right, it seems that it can only be like this." ”
"What's a good thing to say?" Princess Qingtian stared at Su Zecai provocatively, "Let me ask you, you say, where to find the corpses of the dead here?" ”
Su Zecai smiled slightly, and immediately said: "The best way to find a dead person and a corpse is, of course, to go to the cemetery." ”
Princess Qingtian was not to be outdone: "Then do you know the cemetery in this town, where is it?" ”
"I guess it's in the mountains." Su Zecai is there to answer all questions.
"Which hill is it on? There are so many mountains here! ”
"There are many mountains, I can only find them slowly, and I will always find them."
"Then you can go and find it!"
"I'm going alone?"
"Do you want our women to accompany you, are you afraid of ghosts?"
"My princess, you don't want to make trouble, okay?"
"I'm not vexatious, I'm just ......"
Between Princess Qingtian and Su Zecai, Zheng Lingshao seemed to have discovered something.
"No, that's not right!" She suddenly screamed, her eyes flashed, her nose shrank, and her face changed, "The corpse should not be on the mountain!" ”
"Not in the mountains?" Princess Qingtian exclaimed, "Where is that?" ”
Zheng Lingshao did not hesitate, and immediately stretched out his hand and pointed ahead and said, "Just ahead, I smell the breath of a dead man, and I can be sure that it is the smell of a corpse." ”
Su Zecai and Princess Qingtian glanced at each other and looked at each other.
Ahead is a long loess path, the road surface bluestone flowers and plants, all clearly visible, how could there be a corpse?
If there is, it can only be underground!
As if to confirm that his opinion was not wrong, Zheng Lingshao had taken the lead in hurrying forward.
Su Zecai and Princess Qingtian followed.
Sniffing and sniffing all the way, and after walking about fifty steps, Zheng Lingshao stopped.
Is this it?
Princess Qingtian and Su Zecai also stopped and looked around.
Su Zecai stared at Zheng Lingshao and asked, "You mean, those dead bodies in this town are buried in the ground?" ”
"Yes." Zheng Lingshao nodded affirmatively.
"How do we dig?" Su Zecai frowned, spread his hands, and had no tools at hand.
Zheng Lingshao shook his head, indicating that there was no way.
"You two are really, why are you so confused?" Princess Qingtian smiled, "We are all house residents on the left and right, in their homes, are we afraid that we will not be able to find farm tools to dig the ground?" ”
As soon as Princess Qingtian's voice fell, Su Zecai directly entered a house not far from her.
Soon......
Su Zecai came out, holding a hoe in his hand.
"Where is the best place to dig?" Su Zecai asked Zheng Lingshao.
"Right under your feet." Zheng Lingshao pointed at his feet.
Su Zecai took two steps back, without saying a word, raised his hoe and began to dig the ground.
This is what men should do!
Su Zecai buried his head in digging a small pit, and then dug down, and the loess turned black!
"Wait!" Princess Qingtian and Zheng Lingshao drank at the same time.
Princess Qingtian and Zheng Lingshao just didn't say it, Su Zecai had also stopped, and he also found the strangeness of the soil.
"How is this dirt black? Something strange. Princess Qingtian said, squatting down, reaching out and grabbing a handful of black dirt, sniffing and looking at it.
"How did this dirt come to be like this? Well, there seems to be a strange smell, not to mention stink, but there is an indescribable smell. Princess Qingtian muttered to herself, smelled it, and saw it, she still couldn't understand the weirdness of this black soil, so she had to ask Zheng Lingshao for advice.
Zheng Lingshao also grabbed a handful of black dirt, sniffed it, and looked at it.
Suddenly......
A light flashed in her eyes, but it was fleeting, Su Zecai and Princess Qingtian didn't notice it, she thought for a moment and said, "This is the corpse of those who rotted and died!" ”
Su Zecai's face changed greatly.
"What did you say?" Princess Qingtian cried with a sad face, and her hands trembled with fright.
The black dirt in your hands is the corpses of those who decayed and died?
She didn't even dare to think about it.
Zheng Lingshao took out a handkerchief from her arms and handed it to Princess Qingtian, who hurriedly wiped her hands.
Su Zecai looked at Zheng Lingshao: "Miss Zheng, have you found anything?" What's the catch? ”
Zheng Lingshao shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Not yet." ”
Su Zecai and Princess Qingtian couldn't help but look disappointed.
Could it be that Zheng Lingshao is also helpless?
In fact, Zheng Lingshao has already made discoveries and gains, but she can't say it clearly, and she doesn't dare to say it clearly.
She also needs to be confirmed and confirmed!
