Chapter Forty-Nine: Burning the Body at Night

The two of them went to the hall house under the leadership of the village chief, only to find that it was a hall house, but it was better than a small broken wooden house.

"The bodies of Xinlan's family of three are inside." The village chief pointed to the dark house.

Xinlan? Probably he's talking about the family that died.

Thinking so, Mu Zifeng wanted to go in with Mo Li'er.

"It's okay to go in and check, but don't disturb their souls." The village chief reminded.

"Won't you come in with us?" Mu Zifeng asked.

The village chief shook his head, "No, we'll just wait for you outside." ”

"Let's go inside." Mu Zifeng said to Mo Li'er, and took out the fire fold on his body and lit it for light.

The door of the hall was open, and Mo Li'er cautiously followed behind Mu Zifeng, and the two walked in slowly.

Following the firelight, Mu Zifeng saw that there was dust everywhere here, and there were three peaceful corpses on the ground, two large and one small. A faint candle flame was lit beside them.

Mu Zifeng squatted down, brought the fire fold close to the corpse, and nodded to Mo Li'er, who saw it and also squatted down to take the pulse of the male corpse.

"How?" Mu Zifeng asked.

"He died because of the Hundred Poison Technique," Mo Li'er said, and after speaking, she took the pulse of the female corpse again, "She also died because of the Hundred Poison Technique." ”

"What about her?" Mu Zifeng asked, pointing to the little girl's corpse.

She ......" Mo Li'er checked the pulse of the little girl for a long time, and her face was slightly puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

"Strange," Mo Li'er repeatedly examined the little girl's body, "she didn't die because of the Hundred Poison Technique, but because of excessive blood loss." ”

"Excessive blood loss?" Mu Zifeng thought about it, and probed the little girl's body for a while, he suddenly thought of something, and said to Mo Li'er, "Check if there are any wounds on her body." ”

Hearing this, Mo Li'er reached out to check the little girl's body, and as expected, she turned over the corpse, pointed at the girl's neck and exclaimed, "Here! ”

Mu Zifeng frowned and looked at the two small round holes on the girl's neck, those two round holes were extremely deep, they seemed to lead straight to the arteries, and there was coagulated blood on the skin on the periphery, and his heart became more and more puzzled.

Bitten by a zombie?

Mu Zifeng thought, but he thought about it again and denied this answer, according to the corpses he saw in the beggar gang, their teeth were the same as normal people, how could they have such long and sharp teeth? What did the little girl bite to death?

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Mo Li'er's heart was a little uneasy.

"Let's get out." Mu Zifeng put away the fire fold and walked towards the door.

As soon as the village chief saw Mu Zifeng come out, he hurriedly greeted him, "How is it?" Have you found out who the killer is? ”

"I propose to have their bodies cremated." Mu Zifeng said in a deep voice.

"Cremation?" The village chief didn't know why, and even Mo Li'er had the same expression as the village chief.

Mu Zifeng was stunned for a moment and laughed dryly, "It's just to burn the corpse." ”

"No way!" The village chief refused without even thinking about it.

"Why?" Mu Zifeng was a little surprised.

The village chief turned his back to Mu Zifeng and said sharply: "The rule in our village is that the dead must be buried, and burning their bodies is the greatest disrespect to the deceased!" ”

"But......" Mo Li'er was a little anxious.

Without waiting for Mo Li'er to continue, Mu Zifeng raised her hand to stop her next words.

I only heard the village chief continue: "Since the official can't find out the murderer and has also examined the body, then please leave!" ”

"You really don't know what to do!" Mo Li'er was indignant, "Burning them is for the sake of your village's safety. ”

Mu Zifeng only smiled, not annoyed, and pulled Mo Li'er with his backhand and walked towards the outside of the village.

Mo Li'er was dragged outside the village until Mu Zifeng let go of her hand.

"Brother! Why are you pulling me away? Mo Li'er stomped her feet angrily, "Do you know if you keep those corpses, and when they turn into zombies at night, their whole village will be finished." ”

Hearing Mo Li'er use her own name for those corpses, Mu Zifeng couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Mo Li'er became more and more angry.

Mu Zifeng immediately straightened his face and said, "Didn't you see the resolute expression of the village chief just now?" If we have to burn the corpse, I guess people will have to fight with us. ”

"Then we will not harm them if we leave like this." Mo Li'er was immediately deflated.

Seeing her dejected appearance, Mu Zifeng couldn't help but raise his hand and flick it on her head, and said angrily: "Look at you, what's the use of being beautiful?" You have to use your brain to do things, and if you're frizzy like you, how can you mix the rivers and lakes when you come out? As he spoke, he stood with his hands in his hands, "Shall we wait until it gets dark and quietly go and burn the corpses?" ”

Mo Li'er nodded thoughtfully, and then immediately reacted that Mu Zifeng had just hit her again, and was about to kick him, when she looked up and found that Mu Zifeng had already run away.

"Mu-Zi-Kaede!" Mo Li'er was angry.

Night is approaching, and among the shadows of the trees, I saw two figures taking advantage of the night to step on the cat's steps and move forward lightly.

"Shh Mu Zifeng's eyes quickly pulled Mo Li'er into the shadows.

I saw a man holding a torch slowly walking past where they had just stood.

Even though Mu Zifeng pulled her away in time to prevent being discovered, she couldn't help but say "make a fuss".

"It's always good to be careful." Mu Zifeng said in a low voice.

He took Mo Li'er and turned to lean against the wooden wall on the side, looked in the direction of the hall house, and found that there were many people guarding back and forth outside the house, all of them holding torches and farm tools in their hands.

"Why are so many people here?" Mo Li'er asked puzzled.

Mu Zifeng unceremoniously pulled back her poked out head, and said seriously word by word: "You wait for me here obediently, and I will do the burning of the corpse." ”

"Why don't you bring me along?" Mo Li'er said unconvinced.

"If I take you with me, if one is accidentally discovered, I can still escape with martial arts, you are so heavy, how can I take you to escape with me? So many people, we planted. ”

"Then why didn't you let me stay outside the village and wait for you?" Mo Li'er was still unconvinced, even if she admitted in her heart that what Mu Zifeng said was right.

"When it gets dark, what if you run into zombies outside the village?" Mu Zifeng said, "You just wait for me here, and I'll take you away after I burn the body." ”

"So many people, how can you burn it quietly? What should I do if I am discovered? ”

"I have my own way." After speaking, Mu Zifeng's body was in length, flew onto the roof, and slowly approached the hall.

Mo Li'er wanted to be angry at him for walking so fast, but when she thought that Mu Zifeng was afraid that she would be in danger outside the village alone, she didn't even notice that her face flushed slightly.
