Chapter 32: Lightning Strikes the Corpse (2)
Chen Laogou talked about more than ten years ago, when he was still working as a barefoot doctor in the village, he often went to the emergency room and came back late at night.
"Da Gang, I'm going to go home and sleep with pigtails, I'm bothering you again today!"
"What's the trouble! I said you shouldn't look at what time it is. A few children played crazy for a day and fell asleep early. ”
Whenever this time came, Chen Laogou would put the pigtails, which were only five or six years old at the time, in the Lu family, which had a good relationship.
Once, Chen Laogou went to a neighboring village to see a doctor, and only rushed back to the village at nine o'clock in the evening, and at this time the pigtail was already asleep at Dagang's house.
The Lu family has a total of two children, the son Da Gang is the same age as the pigtail, but the birthday is older than the pigtail, and the daughter Chunni is one year younger than the pigtail.
"I'm causing you trouble again." "Don't take it back, let him sleep here tonight." Chen Laogou saw that the pigtails were sleeping in Zhengxiang, and Dagang's mother kept them, so he had to let the pigtails sleep in the Lu family. Usually the old dog is righteous, the relationship between the two families is good, and it is not easy for the old dog to take care of the children alone, and the Lu family is also willing to help one or two.
"What's so polite there? Come over and have a drink, I just came back. "Then you're welcome." Dagang's father is an electrician in the village, and he has the best relationship with Chen Laogou, and when he saw Chen Laogou coming, he asked him to drink two cups with him, Chen Laogou was also hungry at that time, and he didn't see his acquaintances, so he was ready to eat something at Lu's house.
But at this moment, suddenly there was a deafening explosion outside, and the startled three people looked out one after another.
At this time, I saw a few dark clouds coming up from nowhere, pressing the sky like the bottom of a black pot, and the thunder was rolling in the dark clouds, but strangely, those lightning seemed to only circle around one place.
"Isn't it just a thunderbolt! What's there to see, keep drinking. "Of course, ordinary people like Da Gang's father won't feel anything, but as soon as Chen Laogou saw this celestial appearance, he knew that it must be a heavenly punishment monster that would cause this vision.
"No, Lao Lu, I suddenly remembered that there is an urgent matter, I'll go back first." This kind of thing happened, where did Chen Laogou still sit, and it happened that Chen Xiaobraid was sleeping at Lu's house, so Chen Laogou made up a lie and excused himself.
There is a reason why Chen Laogou is so anxious, he always faintly feels that this thunder is a little strange this day, and I am afraid that something big will happen.
Leaving the Lu family, Chen Laogou quickened his pace and ran out of the coffin village after chasing the dark clouds all the way.
It was indeed strange to say that the thunder that day, the lightning kept hitting in one direction underground, but there was nothing to be seen, more like it was driving away something.
Chen Laogou knew that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickened his pace and ran in the direction where the dark cloud was.
But when Chen Laogou saw the place covered by the dark clouds, he was also a little surprised, it was a small house that looked after the farmland, and Chen Laogou recalled that this was the house of Li Xiaozhu's family in the village.
Thinking of Li Xiaozhu, Chen Laogou suddenly remembered an incident that happened more than half a year ago.
This Li Xiaozhu's father had a terminal illness more than half a year ago, and he couldn't afford to be ill, and he also asked Chen Laogou to see him at that time.
"Your father is no longer good, let's prepare for the future!"
"Uncle Chen, I know."
"We all know your filial piety, but don't waste any more money! Obedient. ”
At that time, Chen Laogou checked that Old Man Li was already terminally ill and could not be saved, and counting his longevity, Chen Laogou also told Li Xiaozhu truthfully.
I didn't want to, but something happened during the time when I was waiting for the sky, and one morning Li Xiaozhu and his family suddenly found that the old man Li, who had been paralyzed in bed for more than a month, had disappeared inexplicably.
The two of them searched in the village for a whole day, and finally someone said that they saw Old Man Li walking out of the village alone last night, according to the villagers who witnessed it, Old Man Li was in a strange spirit at that time, but he couldn't say what was strange.
In short, Old Man Li was lost like this. Li Xiaozhu and his family searched all the villages in ten miles and eight townships, and the missing person notices were posted everywhere, but they didn't find the old man Li.
Because Old Man Li had some Alzheimer's disease before, everyone thought that he was lost, and after more than half a year, his family also lost hope, and the people in the village thought that Old Man Li might have died a long time ago.
"Husband, someone smashed the door ......" "Who? It's so late. But one night half a year later, Li Xiaozhu and his family just wanted to clean up and sleep, but they heard the sound of slamming the door, and both of them were very strange, you must know that no one will visit the door so late in the countryside.
But when Li Xiaozhu impatiently opened the courtyard door and saw someone coming, he was stupid at that time.
"Daddy...... Father! Standing outside the door is his father, who has been lost for more than half a year, at this time, the clothes on the old man Li's body are all torn, and his hair has grown a lot, I don't know what he has experienced outside in the past six months, looking at the old man standing outside the door, Li Xiaozhu didn't say a whole word for a long time.
"Daddy...... You're back! Old man Li didn't look at Li Xiaozhu as if he didn't know anyone, he lowered his head and didn't speak, he bumped into Li Xiaozhu and walked into the house.
"What's wrong with our father?" "I don't know." The two of them looked at the father who came back suddenly, they were a little stupid, and they always felt that there was something wrong with his father, but they couldn't say anything wrong.
Old man Li ignored them, lowered his head and walked into his room, and the two of them saw that there were many plaques on his face, but they didn't seem to be age spots, but more like corpse spots on the dead that others say!
"Dad, I'll fetch water for you to wash, let's change our clothes first, shall we?" As soon as Old Man Li entered the house, he lay on his kang, turned his back to the little couple and went to sleep, and never said a word from beginning to end.
"Forget it, Dad may be tired, let's go to bed first! More on that tomorrow. Li Xiaozhu and his wife originally wanted to serve the old man to wash and change into clean clothes, but it can be seen that the old man is like that, no matter how he calls it, he doesn't agree, so he has to give up.
Unexpectedly, the little couple did not wait for the old man's tomorrow......
"Husband... You...... Come and see! Father... Father...... Daddy! Xiaozhu's daughter-in-law, who came early in the morning to wake up the old man for dinner, found that the old man Li looked very strange, and hurriedly called her husband.
At that time, Old Man Li's eyes were round, his mouth was half-open, his face was pale and gray, and there was no anger on his body.
Li Xiaozhu was frightened and tried Old Man Li's snort with his hand, in fact, he didn't need to try it at all, as soon as his hand touched Old Man Li's face, the cold feeling on his skin showed that Old Man Li was dead.
The two of them never dreamed that the old man Li, who had just come back last night, would die in just one night, and that old man Li was like a person who had just died, but like someone who had been dead for several days.
Because the old man Li died a little abnormal, Li Xiaozhu didn't dare to put the old man at home, and found someone to carry him to the hut where his family watched the farmland, thinking that the mortuary would be buried in three days.
Chen Laogou also heard about this, although he also felt strange at the time, but after all, it was someone else's family matter, and it was inconvenient for him to participate more, but at this time, could it be that the corpse of Old Man Li was different?
Before Chen Laogou could figure out the doubts in his heart, he suddenly heard a thunderbolt ringing in his ears, and when he looked up, sure enough, a huge lightning bolt was slashing on the hut.
One after another, three or four bolts of lightning struck the hut one after another, how could this civil structure hut withstand it? Immediately a fire broke out.
Chen Laogou thought that Old Man Li's corpse was about to undergo a mutation, which attracted the punishment of the heavenly thunder, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and felt that the fire would be extinguished as soon as it burned, but he didn't expect that at this time, he found that a figure was flashing in the firelight, and he immediately raised his vigilance.
Chen Laogou took a closer look, and it was the corpse of the old man Li who came out, obviously a corpse at this time, completely unconscious, like a marionette, shaking step by step in the firelight looked very weird.
Just as Old Dog Chen was about to deal with the corpse by defrauding him, suddenly there was another thunder in the sky, and a dazzling lightning bolt hit Old Man Li's corpse at once.
At this time, Chen Laogou came to his senses, this heavenly thunder was not to punish the demon, but the lightning specially attracted by this corpse, in order to use the power of the heavenly thunder to become a demon.
Because although the thunder was fierce that day, the corpse of the old man Li was not afraid at all, but was constantly absorbing the energy of the thunder.
After a few more lightning strikes, the clothes on the corpse were already scorched, but the corpse looked even more powerful, and soon Chen Laogou found that the corpse had undergone a demonic change after the Heavenly Thunder experience.
There were a lot of black hairs growing on Old Man Li's face, and what was even more strange was that his two legs gradually turned into hooves like cows and horses, and his body was gradually covered with fluff.
Only then did Chen Laogou remember that this thing in front of him was probably the lightning corpse circulated by the older generation......
Legend has it that if the thunder hits the corpse, it will stab the corpse and produce a monster to turn into a monster, so the old rule says that the corpse does not see three lights, except for the sunlight and moonlight, this third light is the thunder light. If you are struck by lightning, you will become a half-human, half-demon monster like the old man Li in front of you.
Thinking of this, Old Dog Chen didn't dare to slack off, and as soon as he turned his head, he ran in the other direction towards the woods.
This is not that Chen Laogou is afraid, he is going to take advantage of the fact that the lightning corpse has just mutated, to find a thick willow branch, which is said to be the nemesis of the lightning corpse.
Breaking a willow branch more than one meter long, Chen Laogou took out the Wujin ancient knife from his waist while running back, and sharpened one end of the willow branch.
It is said that this lightning corpse has been trained by the thunder, and the copper skin and iron bones of the whole body are simply unable to deal with it, in addition to using sticky things to slow down its action, the most effective thing is to stab its heart with a willow pestle.
Chen Laogou held a willow branch in one hand, put the other hand in his mouth and bit it, bit his index finger, and wiped a red mark on his forehead with the blood of his middle finger.
This is to attract the lightning corpse to attack him, and he just takes the opportunity to attack.
Sure enough, as soon as the old man Li, who had turned into a lightning corpse, saw the smell of blood, his eyes immediately released a green light, and he stared at Old Dog Chen, and his body shook and immediately pounced.
As soon as Chen Laogou saw that the lightning corpse had been hooked, he ran in the opposite direction as soon as he lifted his leg from the willow branch......
Chen Laogou has been controlling his speed to lead the way in front, and from time to time he turns his head to observe the lightning corpse, looking for the best time to start.
After running for nearly 100 meters, Chen Laogou saw the body of the lightning corpse soaring towards his back, sighed that the time had come, and used the willow pestle in his hand to hit the ground, and his body also jumped forward in the air.
I saw that Old Dog Chen's body flexibly flipped into the air, and then turned around.
His feet steadied the ground, and when he stabilized his body, he clenched the willow pestle in his hand, and locked his eyes back to the position of the lightning corpse.
Immediately after, he leaned back, and a long willow pestle stabbed into the heart of the lightning corpse.
This action was between the lightning and flint, and the body of the lightning corpse was soaring in mid-air, and it was too late to dodge, and it was stabbed.
Seeing that the blow was successful, Chen Laogou's body rolled backwards, and he left the lightning corpse three or four meters away, in case he was trapped and fighting.
It is said that the method handed down by the elders really worked, and after this very difficult lightning corpse was pierced through the heart by a willow pestle, the body could not move at that time.
After a few struggles, his body fell forward to the ground, and the inertia of the fall also made the willow pestle pierce through the chest.
Chen Laogou, who thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, found that the lightning corpse had moved again.
I saw that it struggled to get up from the ground again, looked at Chen Lao Dog with vicious eyes, and stretched out its sharp claws, as if it wanted to tear Chen Lao Dog apart.
Old Dog Chen took out the soul rope and was ready to fight the thunderbolt corpse to the death at any time, but found that it had fallen to the ground again......
It seems that it was only the abundant power of the heavenly thunder in the body that made the final struggle after the heart was pierced, but because the heart was pierced, it was completely solved.
As the night wore on, the dark clouds dispersed, and a bright moon appeared. The people of Coffin Tomb Village had already fallen asleep, and no one knew that such a strange thing had happened on this barren mountain and wild mountain.
Since the elders had said that the body of the lightning corpse must be buried under a pine tree, Chen Laogou dragged the corpse to the hillside overnight and buried it under the tallest pine tree nearby.
"Dad, he himself wants to attract the heavenly lightning to strike the corpse, does he want to become a monster after death?"
"How can a person do such a thing after he dies? The thing in that body is no longer human......"
"Okay, Dad, I want to go to the city with Uncle Liu tomorrow."
"O in the city! Yes, go ahead, and see for a long time. ”
