Chapter 39: The Graveyard Affair
The more I think about it, the more I feel evil, the yin wind behind it seems to be blowing, and I feel cold on a hot day, and I don't know if the cemetery itself is heavy, or I really "won the lottery" tonight, anyway, I feel terrible, and even regret taking this private job.
After shoveling the soil a few more times, the outline of the hard object buried in the shallow soil became clearer and more obvious - it was a boxy coffin at a glance, because the lines of the coffin had been blurred for a long time, and the firewood also showed some signs of decay.
"How can a coffin that has been buried for decades be so shallow?"
My ominous premonition was getting worse, but I gritted my teeth and continued to dig. It wasn't long before I was digging up the coffin. After taking a few deep breaths, I jerked the lid of the coffin over, and I was shocked to find nothing inside.
I had imagined zombies, rotting bones, and the unbearable stench, but I never imagined that when the coffin was opened, it would be empty, except for a slick wax man. The wax figure was crudely made, almost something made to fill the weight.
"It's over, is this a corpse thief?"
I gasped, and that's when I reacted. I've heard of corpse theft before, but it's very rare, because generally speaking, stealing gold and silver treasures is understandable, but stealing corpses along with them is a bit of a wickedness.
"Your sister, don't say it's gold and silver jewelry, even the corpse is gone, how can you explain it now......"
I remember that Wang Ermazi said that the client's family attaches great importance to the half of the jade pendant, and if they can't bring it back, the other party will definitely be furious. But now that the bodies are gone, where can I find any family heirlooms!
Just when I was so angry that I didn't know what to do, suddenly, I saw a swaying figure walking slowly on the pale hillside under the faint moonlight, the walking look was very stiff, and the legs seemed to grow on the two bodies as incongruous.
One leg is a long, laborious step forward, leaning forward with the entire upper body, and then the other leg is pulled back forward. The speed of walking is also very slow. But that's not the point - the figure's neck, the head is twisted at a strange ninety degrees, and even the scalp is rotten, revealing Sensen's white bones.
In order not to be discovered by the terrible thing, I hurriedly jumped into the gap between the coffin and the cemetery, and showed a pair of eyes behind the mound that had been piled up, staring at the "corpse" that was walking in horror.
Originally, this walking corpse was scary enough, evil enough, but this thing was only the beginning, after he walked forward for a while, behind him, one after another corpses slowly crossed the cemetery in a straight line, walking in a strange way, and even crawling on the ground.
Seeing this terrible situation, I scolded angrily in my heart, what the hell is going on? These corpses looked like they were all from the cemetery, and their bodies were either turned into white bones and carrion, or they were dressed in full life clothes, and each one exuded the breath of a living person.
As I was thinking this, the shadow of a living person floated in front of me. The living man's steps were small and he walked slowly, but he seemed very leisurely, with his hands behind his back, and his back a little stiff. I stared at the man closely, and it looked like a little old man...... However, how do I feel more familiar with this guy?
Suddenly, I realized that this person was not familiar! He is actually the head of Honggang Village! The bald hair that looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, the pointed hooked nose, the small inverted triangular eyes, and the big yellow teeth that were rotten, looked like a living person when he walked, but if he looked at the face, the red head was not as good as the newly buried dead.
But the appearance of the village chief is not to mention for the time being, why is he in this place? In the middle of the night, he actually appeared behind a group of corpses? And it doesn't seem to be scared at all, but it looks leisurely and complacent, which makes people feel so strange when they look at it.
But I didn't expect that even more strange things were yet to come. The village chief looked at the corpse in front and kept walking straight, and was about to hit the tree, and shouted at the top of his throat, and the sound like a broken gong resounded in the night sky, which was particularly infiltrating.
However, just after the village chief roared, the direction of the corpse's walking actually changed, and after a slight pause, he turned around and walked down the hillside.
"Today's harvest is quite a lot, it's all good things, good things......" The village chief seemed to be in a good mood, muttering to himself as he walked, and even began to hum a little song when he went down the hill. However, he did not know that he was not the only living person in this grave at this moment.
I had been hiding between the coffin and the graveyard, and had witnessed the village chief driving the corpses away. My heart was extremely flustered, after all, I never thought that the village chief would actually be a person who would do evil things. Unlike the people of the Xiangxi corpse school, what the village chief just did was by no means to drive out corpses.
I remember that they have high requirements for corpses, and the village chief drove these corpses, and the rotten corpses were included in them.
What the hell is he doing here? Isn't the village chief as simple as it seems? I only thought that the village chief was just evil-looking, but I didn't expect him to be a bad old man who was evil!
Let the corpse move and obey his own orders, this kind of thing can't even be done by me, the descendant of the underground burial master, but he, a village chief, an ordinary old man, can do it? I don't believe it, there must be something strange in it.
Originally, now that the corpse had been stolen, and seeing this strange situation, it was the right choice to rush back as soon as possible, but looking at the corpse that was gradually moving away, I didn't hold back my curiosity, and quietly followed behind without realizing it.
It's really that this incident has had too much impact on me, and you must know that the village chief has almost no sense of existence in my heart, just an ugly old man with a very peaceful personality. I may have a person in my heart who didn't want to believe that the village chief was a person who engaged in evil and crooked ways, so I followed up like this.
I crept up behind the corpses and the village chief, and finally found them in a small warehouse in the middle of nowhere. I remember this place as a place where I used to store feed for livestock, but now the carcasses have been buried here. After a while, the dark warehouse lit up with a dim light.
After the village chief closed the door, I also stuck to the corner of the wall and listened carefully for a while, the sound from inside was a bit like the village chief, but mixed with a hint of hoarse roar. After listening for a while, I didn't understand what was going on, and I couldn't help it, so I looked up and looked inside.
It's okay not to look at it, but after looking at it, the scene inside shocked my scalp numb, and the whole person was strongly impacted - the ugly face of the village chief who didn't need special disguise to pretend to be a ghost, at this moment, the mouth was completely torn open, spit out a scarlet tongue, and opened a bloody mouth to face the corpse standing in the formation in front of him.
I don't know what formation is carved under the corpse, but the corpse standing on it floated slightly, tense all over, and a dark green aura wafted from its body, all of which poured into the village chief's mouth, and as this aura emanated, the corpse itself began to melt little by little.
"Click, ah......h
The village chief squinted his eyes and opened his big mouth that almost occupied half of his face, sucking the corpse qi that wafted out from the corpse, looking like he was eating some delicacies from the mountains and seas.
And this scene made me want to vomit all the overnight meal. After the corpse was drained, the bones began to melt, turning into a puddle of red, yellow, and green "meat sauce" that bubbled on the ground.
"Gross-"
After receiving the strong visual impact, I have been desperately enduring the vomiting sensation gushing from my stomach, but I never thought that there was a crack in the window of this small warehouse, and the rotten smell of the corpse that leaked out of it wafted into my nose The moment I felt my brain tremble because of this extreme stench, and I directly bent down and vomited.
After living for twenty-one years, this is the most disgusting smell I have ever smelled, like the smell of rotten eggs in rotten socks and steamed at high temperatures for ten hours. As long as I smell this smell once, I guess I will never forget it in my life.
However, after I couldn't hold back the vomit, I suddenly realized that the village chief was still inside. But when I focused my mind on the house again, there was no movement anymore, and the room was quiet.
So I also quickly glanced into the house, but there was only a row of corpses standing inside, and the figure of the village chief was gone. I screamed badly, and turned around to run, but a dark, rickety figure was already standing there, with dark green liquid still flowing from the corners of his mouth, staring at me expressionlessly.
"Village, village chief...... Good evening. I was directly stunned in place, looking at the village chief's indifferent expression, and I wanted to cry without tears. I thought that I would be unlucky enough to encounter the corpse theft, but now it seems that what is happening now is the most unlucky.
If you knew it, don't catch up with it because of curiosity! This kid has discovered someone's amazing secret, and I can't think of a way to convince the village chief to let me go.
"You saw it all?" The village chief's complexion did not change, and he reached out and wiped the corners of his mouth, as if he had just finished eating.
"Huh? What is it? Village Chief, I'm just passing through here, you may have misunderstood...... Oh yes, I forgot that I still have a bit of a hurry, so you're busy, village chief, I'll go first......"
Before I could finish speaking, I turned to run, but the next moment, the figure of the village chief suddenly turned into a black shadow, flashed in front of me again, and blocked my way.
"It's all here, why are you in a hurry, come in and have a drink before leaving?" The village chief smiled, and slowly walked towards me, and as he laughed louder and louder, the corners of his mouth began to crack again, and at last his mouth cracked again to the size of half of his face, and I was worried that his head would be split in half.
