Chapter 12 Cattle inspection in clear water
There was silence all around, I stared at the columbarium and stood for two minutes, the moonlight was like a bright light, it was the best time to raise my soul, I couldn't help but think, isn't this similar to raising ghosts? The difference is that I don't seek personal gain, nor do I make a blood alliance deal with ghosts, I just want Lin Ruochu to have a chance to be a human again, if she is really reincarnated, is this toss considered my merit?
"Who!" There was a sudden exclamation from the side.
Jiang Dahe got up at night, got up in a daze, and saw a person standing in front of the window in the dark, so frightened that he screamed, and after seeing that it was me, he said: "What are you doing if you don't sleep in the middle of the night!" ”
I pointed to the columbarium and didn't speak.
Jiang Dahe rubbed his eyes: "Let's go to sleep quickly, I have to sit in an ox cart for a few hours tomorrow, if I don't nourish my spirit, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the bumps." ”
When I heard this, I stayed for half an hour and then lay down.
The next morning, Jiang Dahe and I ate rice noodles downstairs and then took the car to the intersection of the mountain to wait for the car, and waited for about an hour before a cow cart came from a distance, the driver was a young man in his teens, holding a cowhide whip and sitting on the cart, the car stopped next to us and asked us.
"You're going to Horseshoe Gully?"
Jiang Dahe nodded, and said That's right, hurry up, your ox cart runs faster, I only know that this place is close to Myanmar, and now I know that it was originally called Horseshoe Valley, after saying that, the two of us were about to get into the car, but before we could sit on it, we were stopped by this young man, Jiang Dahe frowned, and said angrily: "What! The old hunchback is not well arranged? ”
This man glanced at me, but carefully looked at the river, and then said, "The old man said that there are two people, but ...... But this guy is too fat, my cow has to work hard, I have to add money! ”
I saw the corners of Jiang Dahe's mouth twitch twice, and then squinted and asked him, "How much?" ”
"At least two hundred ha! Just do it, just go, if you don't do it, forget it! ”
Two hundred! Grab people! That's enough for me to sell as many bags of rice! It's not what the starting price is! I just wanted to get angry when Jiang Dahe dragged me aside.
"Give it to him, it's all dirt and stone roads to Horseshoe Valley, if there is no ox cart, we can't go on foot, if it happens, these two hundred will be considered a drizzle."
I sighed, this is the end of the matter, I can only do it, I just hope that this trip will be as we want it to be, and that it will not end up in vain.
After getting into the car, the young man danced the bullwhip twice and then drove into the mountains, and the three of them sat in the car for more than ten minutes.
Horseshoe ditch got its name because of the layout of the village, horseshoe ditch is very poor, not only there is no relationship with the road, even if there is no rich, there is nothing in the village except for a little arable land, because it is too poor, the young people who are not willing to live in the village to guard the land have come out to work, and most of the people who stay in the village are old people and children.
Like this guy who drives cattle, there are few people who stay in the village and live on the farmland for a lifetime.
Speaking of this, the driver asked us, "What are you doing here in this poor and remote place?" ”
It's inconvenient for us to say that we're looking for zombies, so we casually said to do something, and the driver listened and said: "It's really not the right time to come to Horseshoe Ditch at this time, you don't know if something happened to Horseshoe Ditch." ”
Jiang Dahe and I glanced at each other, is it really a legend that there are zombies here? We suppressed our excitement and asked him what was going on.
The driver replied: "Two days ago, it was said that a murderer had escaped to Horseshoe Valley, and now someone is investigating the case in Horseshoe Valley, so we don't dare to go out." ”
We are all a little disappointed to hear that it is not about zombies, but we can't help but worry that the murderer will have an impact on our surprise, we are also very human hearts, and ghosts and demons can deal with a little bit, but if we really meet an outlaw like a murderer, it is two different things.
We said we hadn't heard of any murders, and the bullock cart guy said it was better to be careful, maybe he was hiding somewhere in the mountains and forests now.
What he said made my heart furious, could it be that there are not only zombies in this mountain, but also a murderous maniac?
It had been almost three hours when I arrived at the horseshoe ditch, and the sky suddenly became gloomy, and it seemed that heavy rain was coming soon, and the driver couldn't help but speed up.
After a while, the driver at a halfway point of the mountain said: "This mountain is called Niujiao Mountain, and at the bottom of the mountain is the horseshoe ditch." ”
We looked in the direction he had said, and saw a dozen or so black-tiled and gray-walled earthen houses at the foot of the mountain.
He added: "This is the east of the village, and there are dozens of households on the other side of the mountain. ”
When he arrived, Jiang Dahe took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and then asked him: "Do you know Wang Xingui's family in the village?" ”
He said, "Yes, I'll take you there." ”
After that, we took the ox cart to the depths of the village, and within two minutes we saw the driver shouting to an old house: "Old man Wang! Someone in the city is looking for it! ”
didn't wait for anyone to be empty, just shouted and left, leaving me and Jiang Dahe standing in front of the old house.
Within a minute, a woman holding a baby came out, saw me and Jiang Dahe and asked if we were here to buy a dead cow.
I wondered in my heart, what kind of dead cow to buy? However, Jiang Dahe nodded, and said that he would look at the dead cow first and then negotiate the price, and after speaking, the woman told us to wait.
Seeing the woman enter the house, I immediately asked Jiang Dahe, what kind of cattle are we here to buy, aren't we here to find zombies? Jiang Dahe whispered: "How can you come to see the cattle without making an excuse?" Could it be that your cow may have been killed by zombies? You can rest assured, we mainly see what exactly bites, and we will find an excuse not to buy it. ”
I was nervous in my heart, there were not one or two sums of money that had been pitted by Jiang Dahe, and I suspected that Jiang Dahe had the fate of breaking his fortune, and whoever followed him would not be able to keep his money.
After a while, the woman came out alone and said to take us to see the cow, the dead cow provoked mosquitoes, and could only be placed in a cattle pen not far away, and the woman said that if you don't come again, the cow will not be able to let go, and you have to pull it to the back mountain and bury it.
Jiang Dahe asked, "Sister, when did this cow die?" ”
The woman said as she walked: "You can call me Sister Qin, this cow has been dead for three days, and at night I don't know what it bit two holes and died, I guess it was killed by some animal in the mountains and forests." ”
As soon as I heard that I died at night, it would be eight or nine years old, maybe it was really a zombie.
Within two minutes we came to a dilapidated cattle pen, and the woman took the key and opened the door, and the smell of cow dung and corpses came to our faces, and we couldn't open our eyes.
The woman also frowned and said why did it stink so much, and I also sprinkled salt on and around the dead cow.
There were really no people in this cattle pen, so we waited at the door for a few minutes, and then went in when the smell was lighter.
Although the woman didn't understand the intention, but still found us a bowl of water, I took the bowl and Jiang Dahe walked in, the woman wanted to follow us, Jiang Dahe said: "Our cattle inspection is confidential, others can't see it, you wait for us outside for a while." ”
There was only a 60-watt light bulb in the dim cattle pen, and the dead cow was randomly placed in a corner and covered with a rag, Jiang Dahe tore off the rag, and saw that the dead cow was already covered with insect repellent, but only the bite was not half of it.
Then Jiang Dahe squatted down and poked the wound with his fingers, and then said with a solemn face: "Damn it, it's soft!" ”
My heart chilled when I heard it, didn't I say that the area around the wound of a zombie bite would become stiff? How can it be soft? Could it really be that it was bitten by wild beasts in the mountains and forests? But there is no half deworming in this wound, which is unusual.
"Xiaoshu, Qing Shui."
As soon as Jiang Dahe shouted, I quickly took out the glutinous rice prepared in advance and put it into the water, stirred it and poured it towards the wound, which squeaked at the touch, and the wound was like being drenched with sulfuric acid, and in an instant that part of the meat was melted into a pool of blood.
When I saw this, I became excited again, it was an evil thing that killed me!
Jiang Dahe stood up and said, "It's strange, this must be done by an evil thing, if it's not a zombie, what is it?" Could it be that there is a discrepancy between what the master said, and this zombie bite will not become stiff? ”
I asked Jiang Dahe what to do now?
Jiang Dahe hesitated for a moment and said: "This thing has tasted sweet, I will definitely go back to the village to find a living creature to suck blood, we will live in the village, we must catch this thing, see if it is a zombie!"
