Chapter 601: Chase the Corpse Customer
"Your client?" I was stunned for a moment, Ah Song opened a Yin Yang Inn, what is the identity of the people who will come to this kind of place, naturally I don't need to go into details, is there still a corpse chaser in this era?
I expressed the doubts in my heart, Ah Song nodded hurriedly, and said yes, although it is no longer popular to drive corpses these years, but the craftsmanship of corpse chasers has not been lost, and he knows several, but these people are no longer chasing corpses to make money, they just want to use this way to persist in the inherited skills.
Zhang Qiang was immediately amused, and couldn't help laughing, "What else can you do if you don't drive corpses to make money, feelings?" ”
I glanced at Zhang Qiang, and suddenly I was full of curiosity about this upcoming corpse chaser, anyway, the terrain of the Ten Thousand Snake Canyon is complicated, and it is not easy to enter the mountain, since Ah Song is not willing to lead the way for us for the time being, it is better to stay for the time being, and wait for the corpse chaser to pass by, maybe we can still talk about moving this corpse chaser and let him accompany us on the road.
I told Zhang Qiang what I thought, and Zhang Qiang immediately scratched the back of his head and said, "Brother, aren't you, entering the Ten Thousand Snakes Canyon is so dangerous, how can anyone take the initiative to help?" I've calculated that if Ah Song doesn't agree to lead the way, I'll force him to draw a topographic map, and we'll go in directly according to the topographic map after dawn tomorrow, and we can't wait to save people. ”
I whispered, "Doesn't it take time to draw?" In short, when the time comes, let's act when the opportunity comes, and mobilize one more if we can, otherwise we don't know how long it has been since we walked around the entire Ten Thousand Snake Canyon just because we had no heads and flies. ”
Zhang Qiang had to agree, and then I accompanied Ah Song to sit at the door of the Yin Yang Inn and wait, the sunset was coming, there was a dead silence in the mountains, and the scene was dim halfway up the mountain, and the sight looked gray, I took the initiative to hand over a cigarette, Ah Song didn't answer, waved his hand and said, "I'm used to smoking dry tobacco, your smoke is too small, I'm not used to it." ”
As he spoke, he took out the big chimney, and took a puff of the "cannon fight", and the pillar of smoke was about to float to the roof before it dispersed, I was a little worried, and asked him if he could stand smoking like this? Ah Song smiled and said, "No way, I've developed this habit since I was a child, these tobaccos are all grown by myself, and the color is good." ”
Seeing him say this, I didn't say anything, retracted the cigarette and lit it for myself, and suddenly became curious about Ah Song's life experience, so I took the initiative to ask, "Ah Song, you don't seem to be very old, why do you live in a yin and yang inn?" ”
Ah Song has dark skin, he is a small boy, probably because of the wind and rain all year round, resulting in some rough skin, but a pair of eyes are very bright, shining in the dark night, the elderly cannot have such clear eyes.
Ah Song smiled shyly, saying that he had just turned 25 last month. I was taken aback, isn't that a little smaller than me? It's really hard to imagine how a young man about the same age as me could have fallen into such a deep mountain and old forest, guarding a yin-yang inn and enduring loneliness all year round, and surviving alone.
Maybe guessing what I was thinking, Ah Song took a deep breath, and under the smoke, his vision seemed a little hazy and strange, "Actually, three years ago, I was an ordinary carpenter, and there was an accident at home, and I was forced to hide in the mountains after being collected for debts, and I was really embarrassed at that time, and I almost fell to my death in the ravine." ”
Maybe he hasn't talked to anyone for a long time, and once Ah Song opens the conversation, he can't stop, and he slowly tells what happened to him.
It turned out that Ah Song had been working in the lumber yard since graduating from secondary school, and the lumber yard was opened by his father, and life was quite enjoyable, but his father had a problem, that is, he was a good gambler, and he often didn't care about anything as soon as he blocked the table, and the burden of the lumber mill fell on Ah Song.
Ah Song is diligent, and he is a young man with a flexible brain, often selling online, and the lumber mill business is quite passable, but all this is ultimately ruined by a gambling word.
In order to gamble, his father not only lost all his savings, but even mortgaged the right to operate the timber mill directly to others after losing a red eye, and then the debt collector arrived, and Ah Song's father saw that he couldn't hide it, so he drank pesticides in the middle of the night and committed suicide, leaving a butt of bad debts to Ah Song.
Ah Song was cornered by the debtor, so he had to flee into the mountains overnight, and at least a dozen loan sharks chased him that night, Ah Song panicked and fell to the top of the cliff, thinking that this time he would die, who knew that he regained consciousness in a few days, and came to this Yin Yang Inn when he opened his eyes.
At that time, the Yin Yang Inn was run by another old man, and the old man told Ah Song that he found Ah Song in the process of going down the mountain to find medicinal herbs, and Ah Song was lying on a pair of haystacks at that time, and he had died out a lot of air and had little air intake, and it took the old man a week to pull him back from the ghost gate.
After waking up, Ah Song washed his face with tears all day long, thinking that his life was completely ruined, even if he healed his body, he would have to face a huge debt when he went down the mountain, he couldn't wait to find a cliff to jump off again, and the old man had been staying by his side to enlighten, and gradually Ah Song accepted the reality and regained his freedom with the help of the old man.
Later, Ah Song made a plan and told the old man that he wanted to follow him and live in the mountains for the rest of his life, but the old man did not object, but told him with a smile that he was crystal clear in the Yin and Yang Inn, and people who were not brave enough might not be able to live here.
As a human being in two lives, Ah Song has long seen a lot of things, and he is busy telling the old man that he is not afraid of anything. The old man didn't say a word, he took Ah Song downstairs, pushed him into a cellar where the corpse was hidden, and let him stay in the cellar for three days in a row.
In order to stay in the mountains, Ah Song gritted his teeth and stiffened through, although he said that he was not afraid, but a normal guard with so many dead corpses would inevitably be frightened, I don't know how to survive those three days, when the old man opened the cellar again, Ah Song was already so frightened that he almost had a nervous breakdown.
Fortunately, he finally persevered and completed the old man's test of himself, and since then Ah Song has followed the old man to stay, taking this Yin Yang Inn as his home, and later the old man was dying, and handed over the Yin Yang Inn to Ah Song to inherit, and Ah Song naturally became the owner of the Yin Yang Inn.
After listening to this, I couldn't help but sigh and said, "It turns out that you are not easy either." ”
Ah Song smiled freely, patted his ass and stood up and said, "Actually, my life is not bad now, at least stay in the mountains carefree, don't worry about being caught and humiliated by debt collectors in three days, the money my father owes will not be paid off for the rest of my life, only here can I feel peaceful." ”
"Ah Song, in fact, you ......" I was about to say something, when suddenly there was a "ding" copper horn bell in the woods, and I vaguely heard someone shouting, "Yin people on the road, Yang people avoid ......"
My heart suddenly sank, and I secretly said that Asong's customer had indeed arrived!
