Chapter 001: Three Blood Marks

Next Chapter

I was different from everyone else since I was a child, and everyone in the village was afraid of me.

For they say, "I am born out of the womb of a dead man."

When my mother was pregnant with me, my father worked in the mountains with the production team, and once, when my mother went to deliver food to him, she encountered a landslide and was buried under a pile of stones.

By the time the villagers found out and dug her out, it was already the second night, and my mother had already lost her breath and was covered in blood.

Everyone is sighing that one corpse and two lives are really miserable.

But at that time, my father didn't say a word, walked up directly, and used the knife in his hand to cut open my mother's stomach.

In the midst of everyone's incredulous gaze, my dad took me out of my mother's body.

I was so weak that no one believed that a dead man could have a baby, but I did survive.

After finishing the funeral for my mother, my father left me at home and went to the production team to report again.

It's just that it didn't take long for the production team to have an accident in the mountains, and everyone was nowhere to be found, including my father, who didn't come back.

So there was a rumor in the village, saying that I was a yin born person, and my parents, if anyone got involved with me, they would definitely be unlucky.

Not only the adults excluded me, but also the children of the same age would alienate me, no one in the whole village was willing to pay attention to me, and the person who raised me was my third uncle, Chen Sanqian.

According to him, when he was young, he wanted to go to the city, but he couldn't make a name for himself, so he had to come back in disgrace.

When he returned to the village that day, he heard me crying at home, and no one paid attention to me.

In fact, there are many times when I wonder if there will be such a coincidence.

But after thinking about it, in addition to this dilapidated house, my family only has an acre of land behind the house, and there is nothing worth thinking about the third uncle at all, and he can't afford to spend so many years lying to me.

Because I was only seven months old, I was dissected by my father, so from childhood to adulthood, my body was very weak, and I basically got sick several times a year.

When I was a child, an old physiognomist came to the village, and after seeing my face, he said that I was destined to live to be 16 years old.

But when my third uncle heard this, he scolded him, saying that he was talking nonsense and demagoguery, and then drove him away.

It was also from that day that the third uncle pulled a flag at the door and wrote the words "corpse collector".

But what the third uncle usually does is actually to run around a few nearby villages, help collect the corpses, handle the aftermath, and at most help move a grave or something.

Every time I came to business, the third uncle would take me to do things together, although I didn't want to deal with the dead, but the strange thing is that after a long time, my illness was much better.

Originally, I thought I was well, but a few days before my sixteenth birthday, the third uncle suddenly told me that he was going on a long trip.

And before going out, he specially told me that during this time, no matter what business comes to the door, no matter how high the price is, I will never touch it.

Actually, I'm quite strange, although I've been working with my third uncle for several years, but I'm a child after all, who would spend money to ask me to do things.

But when I think about it carefully, I always feel that the third uncle's departure at this juncture may be related to what the old master said before.

The third uncle is like a clever plan, he has just left, and many people come to the door, saying that there is a corpse and want me to go over and deal with it.

I refused several in a row, but there were too many people coming, so I simply locked the door and disappeared.

Although it was much cleaner, I had just finished washing up and was about to go to bed that night, when I suddenly saw a dark shadow flashing outside the curtain.

"Bang ......"

I was wondering when there was a sudden loud banging on the window, and it looked like someone was tapping on the window outside.

I could faintly see a figure on the curtains, but I was a little scared, thinking to myself that on this big night, if I were a normal person, why didn't I go to the front door and come to shoot my window.

I was a little wary and shouted outside, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm here to find Chen Sanqian." The person outside replied.

But this voice surprised me a little, because it was a woman's voice, and it didn't sound very old, and I didn't know what I was looking for my third uncle.

I had to say to her, "He's not at home, you can come back in a few days." ”

But the woman just sneered and said, "Does Chen Sanqian think that he can hide like this?" ”

I asked, somewhat curiously, "What do you mean?" ”

"I'll see how long Chen Sanqian can hide."

The people outside sneered, and then there was no movement.

I shouted two more times, and when no one answered, I went to the window and boldly opened the curtains.

There was no one outside, but there were three blood marks on the window, which made me gasp.

Because of this strange woman, I didn't sleep well all night, and the next morning, the village chief suddenly came and knocked on my door.

As soon as he saw me, he asked me, "Statement, what about your third uncle?" ”

Seeing that he looked anxious, I knew that something was wrong, so I said, "Third uncle, he is far away, and he won't come back for a while." ”

"Why is it at this juncture." The village chief frowned, his face full of embarrassment.

But he thought about it, and suddenly turned his head and said to me: "By the way, state, haven't you studied with your third uncle for several years, otherwise you will come with me to have a look?" ”

Thinking of the third uncle's entrustment, I hurriedly shook my head: "No, the third uncle said, we won't take business these days." ”

The village chief made a straight face, and said to me again: "Statement, why are you also from our Wolong Village, and now that something has happened in the village, will you just let it go?" ”

When he said this, I immediately felt angry and amused, and thought to myself that over the years, they had excluded me and alienated me for those unfounded reasons, and had never treated me as a member of the village.

So I made up my mind, shook my head violently, and said, "It doesn't matter if you say it, you better go find someone else, village chief." ”

"Okay, state, count yourself as capable!" The village chief snorted angrily, then turned around angrily and walked out of the house.

Although I didn't follow, in the afternoon, I still heard the wind in the village, it turned out that last night, it was Ge Erdan who had an accident.

In fact, Ge Erdan is a fool, but his father Ge Chengguo is a figure in our village.

I heard that when Ge Chengguo was young, he was a scoundrel in the village, but he didn't know what was going on, so he suddenly made a fortune and built a three-story small house directly at home.

But there are gains and losses in everything, and the wives he married died one after another, and now he is the third term.

Even his only son broke his brain when he was a child, and he was stupid for many years.

It is rumored in the village that Ge Chengguo must have earned money with a bad conscience, otherwise, how could there be so many things in the family.

Although I didn't see the corpse with my own eyes, I estimated that Ge Erdan's death should be quite miserable, otherwise, I wouldn't have let the village chief personally come to ask my third uncle to help.

But I didn't think about it, and when I saw that it was getting dark outside, I went into the courtyard and tried to lock the gate so that no one would disturb me.

But as soon as I locked the door, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, so I crouched down and looked at the ground.

I saw that on the ground of the courtyard, I could still see a layer of faint footprints, and even some blood stains.

The footprints came from the outside, leading all the way to the firewood room next to it, and I couldn't help but take a deep breath, thinking to myself, could it be that someone had come in?

Although I was a little scared, I had the courage to walk over to the firewood room to see what was going on.

The footprints disappeared when they reached the door of the firewood room, and it seemed that the man was inside, so I held my breath and slammed the door open.

Although I have seen a lot of corpses over the years with the third uncle, I still feel trembling when I see the scene in front of me.

I saw Ge Erdan standing directly by the door, his eyes were sunken, his face was pale, and he had an extremely weird smile on his face, as if he was looking directly at me.

I was a little frightened, and unconsciously took a step back, thinking to myself, isn't Ge Erdan dead, how can a dead man stand in front of me.

Almost without thinking about it, his body fell down again, smashing to the ground like an iron plate.

I stepped back again, and only then did I see that there were three blood marks on Ge Erdan's neck, just like the marks on the window last night.
