Chapter 7: The Shadow of the Night
"I can break the blood, and in the end, the corpse will still be burned, otherwise it will become a zombie, and all ten miles and eight towns will suffer, but..."
Two obvious red dots were in the pupils, and the blood light was reflected, as if they were about to hook the soul, and time was running out.
"Big nephew, let's talk about it! It's all come to this," the old man said dejectedly.
"Within seven days of death, I can extinguish the remnants of the corpse qi so that the evil will not break out."
Seven is the day of sacrifice, and it is rumored that after death, the soul will be disoriented and wander around, only in the first seven, that is, on the seventh day after death, it will regain its clarity and return home.
But this is just a general situation, there are many special circumstances, such as huge resentment, there is an inseparable obsession, the soul will always be clear, there is no first seven years to go home, after which the soul wanders, called a ghost.
There is also the old man, even if the first seven are impossible, it is impossible to restore clarity, there is too much corpse qi, suppressing the soul, and after the first seven, not only will blood break out, but it will also directly become a zombie.
"Hey! Then the master should be destroyed quickly! The bull shouted.
"Extinguished... If the soul is destroyed, then the old man will never be able to transcend his life, and his soul will be completely scattered, you... Are you sure you want to extinguish? I said leisurely.
"No! can't destroy the soul, my eldest brother has been miserable all his life, how can he end up with a life that cannot be reborn? I don't promise. "Uncle is like an angry beast, with a hairy beard, and my proposal has clearly crossed his line.
"Uncle, why are you so confused!" The big cow hurriedly said, stomping his feet to persuade.
"Big nephew, you must have another way, right?" The old uncle looked at me expectantly, "You are that person's apprentice, I just want my eldest brother to go all the way." ”
Good along the way? They were all murdered and said that they would go all the way, but looking at the seriousness of the uncle, it will definitely not work to destroy the soul. It's straightforward and easy, but it doesn't work! I had expected some twists and turns.
"There's another way..."
"What?" The uncle's eyes flickered, and he stood up violently.
"Since you can't destroy your spirit, you have to dispel it." I walked back and forth two steps, "What wish does the old man have before his death, if it is completed in the first seven, the evil will be dissolved, but it involves him to kill." The last thought, I guess, would be... Take revenge! ”
"Revenge!" Erniu exhaled, and immediately calmed down, "But... But how to find the murderer. ”
"It's not me, it's not me, it's not me who killed Ah Da..."
I clamped the old man's cheeks, which had little flesh, and his eyes and mouth were still wide open, but I was forced by the master to deal with corpses since I was a child, and I didn't feel afraid, and the slow sideways movement on both sides made their scalps numb.
"Well, there are no wounds on the face, and there is nothing damaged on the clothes, so it shouldn't have been injured by a sharp weapon."
The usual method of the autopsy is to look at the exposed part first, and then I look at the back of my head and carefully wipe the dirt from my hair with my hands. I saw a faint color of blood, and the wound was in this place.
Blunt force injuries can kill you with one blow! This is my rough conclusion, after all, I am not a professional coroner, and it is not practical to find the police in this hellish place, so I have to think of other ways.
"Who! Who is it! ”
When the uncle saw the wound, his emotions were out of control for a while, and the frightened two brothers fell to their knees, and I was also frightened and pale.
"Look at it! If I can't find it, then I'll have to do it. ”
Uncle is silent, no matter whether the uncle agrees or not, this is the final bottom line, I believe that the uncle is also an understanding person, and it is clear which is more important.
I'm not prepared to care about this, I'm just a corpse seeker, and being involved in this kind of murder won't do me any good. If it weren't for the fact that blood is at stake for so many lives, I would have walked away.
"Who is it, who will it be? Ah Da never left the village at all. Er Niu muttered, "There haven't been any outsiders recently, and the killers must be people from the village." ”
He secretly speculated to himself, and Da Niu looked nervous, "Uncle, it's not early, I'll go back first!" My mother-in-law is still waiting for me to go back! ”
The second bull's head twisted violently, looking like his eyes were about to split, and he roared, "Brother? ”
Thin, he shocked his burly brother to a stunned moment, and Da Niu didn't dare to face Erniu, "Whether you believe it or not, it wasn't me who killed Ah Da anyway!" With that, he disappeared at the door of the cave.
"Erniu, when did my eldest brother get lost?" The old man asked with red eyes.
Erniu shook his body, "Uncle, you know, I didn't come back all night after going out a few days ago, and then I couldn't find it again." I know today...", he cried as he spoke.
"Okay, it's not early, I'll take my eldest nephew home to rest first, and I'll talk about this tomorrow."
"Thank you uncle, thank you master, my family has just left, and it is really not suitable for people to live." Erniu bowed down and said, you go first! I'll guard the corpse for Ah Da Shou.
The uncle walked out with his hands behind his back, and I followed behind, shaking his head and saying, "It's the same son, why is the gap so big?" ”
"Perhaps, this is retribution!" The uncle was secretive and lost his way without a head, and it seemed that the moment he found the body, the uncle changed into a different person.
I didn't say much more, but I saw Erniu slowly kneeling down in the not-so-bright hall.
What a dutiful son! Why is there such a big brother?
"Brother Zhao and I are brothers in life and death, we wore the same pants back then, watched widows take a bath together, and carried guns and beat devils together, no matter what, I want his soul to be reincarnated safely." The uncle seemed to be muttering, and it seemed to be talking to me, and it was even more determined, all of which was remembrance and sighing.
The cave of the uncle's house is at the head of the village, which is the farthest away from the Zhao family, and compared with the Erniu family, the uncle's house is much more spacious, and the furnishings are quite complete.
"Mother-in-law, I'm coming back!"
After taking the donkey off the cart and tying it, and catching two handfuls of hay and putting them in front, the old man strode inside.
"What's going on, what's going on?" A short woman rushed out of the house, still holding a dustpan in her hand that she didn't have time to put down, "I heard, Brother Zhao found it?" ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, find it! Found it! ”
"What's this?"
"The person I came to find Brother Zhao is my old apprentice and my eldest nephew." The uncle patted his chest, "Why don't you bring people in to sit!" ”
My aunt was also very quick, and without further questioning, welcomed me in.
"Big nephew, you sit down first, and I'll talk to your aunt for a while." The old man shouted, took out a pipe from the house, and raised it.
I didn't sit down, I walked around my uncle's house a few times, the cave was quite big, and I brought a big yard, I could see that the walls of my uncle's house were full of all kinds of furs, and I could recognize weasels, rabbits, and even saw a lot of wolf fur.
I really didn't expect that the old man was not young, he was still an expert in hunting, and these furs were estimated to be sold for a lot of money when dragged to the city, which was undoubtedly a huge amount of money for this mountain person.
"Ah Da, I'm back!"
The rough voice shook his ears, although he was invited by his uncle, he didn't know anything about his uncle.
The first time I saw my uncle's child, I was taken aback, with two wolves on my shoulders, dripping with blood on my body and blood on my face.
The wolf's head is all recessed, and then look at his hands without a single inch, my mother-in-law! This Nima was actually beaten to death, this big guy can kill two wolves with his bare hands, I know where the fur on the wall of my uncle's house came from...
"This is my doll, called Mu Zhuzi, it should be bigger than you." At the dinner table, the uncle laughed rarely.
The corners of my mouth twitched, what was the name? The father is called Tiezhu, the son is called Zhuzi, and the grandson is not called Xiaozhu? It was so rough and simple that I was so scared that I quickly ate two bites of food.
Brother Zhuzi didn't seem to like to talk much, smiled at me and showed kindness, and then slammed the rice, his bowl is estimated to be three or four times the size of our bowl.
Originally, the bowl of the uncle's family was big, and Brother Zhuzi's bowl was already a small basin. I was dumbfounded, one bowl, two bowls...
"Hey! This doll, eat slowly, and no one will rob you, the eldest nephew is still grinning. The old man said in a sullen voice.
"Don't be surprised! The pillars of my family are like this, as if they were reincarnated as a starving ghost. Auntie said.
"Gollum!"
Damn, three bowls! This is going to participate in the Big Stomach King competition and win the championship steadily. Fortunately, my uncle's family is solid, and he is in the mountains, so he can be self-sufficient, otherwise he would probably be able to go bankrupt...
………………………
The temperature difference in the northwest is very large, especially in the mountains, about 15 degrees Celsius, if it is still a little hot during the day, it is completely cool at night, and the temperature is particularly pleasant. I was too late to come back, and it was nine o'clock after eating.
After a tiring journey, I ran to kick a coffin, and went into the mountains to search for the body, even if I had good energy, I was exhausted, and I fell asleep in the room arranged by my uncle.
I didn't bring much of my own things, so I came with a small suitcase and some things that I had to bring, and I was mentally prepared to live for a long time.
Since the master said that the northwest is my destination, it will definitely not be untargeted, but this old man only speaks half of his head, and the remaining half of his head has to be figured out by myself.
Thinking about it, no matter how uncomfortable this hard kang is, I fell asleep after turning over a few times.
I don't know what time it is, my eyes opened violently, I found out the mobile phone that had no signal, and I woke up at three o'clock in the middle of the night, and I didn't think much about preparing to continue sleeping.
But as soon as I closed my eyes, I found that my eyelids were covered with a layer of shadow, and when I looked slowly, a figure was standing at the door, and I saw it very clearly in the dim light, that person was my uncle!
I was frightened and quickly closed my eyes, I was in a foreign land, I never thought that my uncle would be unfavorable to me, not because of my uncle's trust, but because of my master's confidence, he would definitely not hand me over to a person who plotted against me, thinking so, but let me calm down and stop acting rashly.
