Chapter 168: Xiangxi Corpse Chaser
Zhou Fengchen and Monk Yuanzhi glanced at each other again, the proprietress knew more or less about their abilities, and she would actually say that it was dangerous, then it was really dangerous, and they coughed together, "Oh...... Don't talk about the danger. ”
The proprietress opened her mouth and held back all the words behind her, "You ......"
The Yuan Zhi monk said: "You are stupid when we are, who will do dangerous things?"
Zhou Fengchen also said: "Yes, you said it was dangerous, and what did you say it was doing, open your small restaurant."
The proprietress gritted her teeth, "One hundred thousand!" ”
Zhou Fengchen and the two touched their noses, scratched their scalps, and looked east and west.
"Two hundred thousand! More than I don't. The boss said again.
The Yuanzhi monk buckled between his teeth, and Zhou Fengchen lowered his head to find ants.
The proprietress had red circles in her eyes, choked up and said, "I just want to get my husband's body back, isn't that okay?" Please! The restaurant can give you half of the shares, okay? Let's open a bigger one in the future and make money together, okay? ”
Zhou Fengchen frowned and said, "Boss lady! We really don't want how much money, but the things we have encountered recently, are very disturbing, and when we hear the word danger, we are stunned, or you can talk about things, you can help us as much as possible, and you don't need much money, if you really can't do it, it is impossible to ask for trouble in vain! ”
The Yuan Zhi monk also said: "Yes, what happened to your husband's corpse?"
"Well, that's right......," the proprietress sighed and said.
The proprietress is named Hu Cui, and her husband's name is very strange called Axi Palace, she is a Miao from Xiangxi, and her profession is even stranger, she is a corpse chaser.
Driving out the corpse means that the dead people are brought back to their hometown using secret techniques, and the dead corpses walk on their own, without decaying or dissolving halfway, which is very magical.
When it comes to chasing corpses, many people will think of Xiangxi chasing corpses, Xiangxi chasing corpses is a mysterious and unique activity of the Miao family of a generation in the deep mountains and plateaus of Xiangxi, in fact, it is not only limited to Xiangxi, from Jingzhou, Langzhou to Yungui generation There are such corpse chasers.
It is said that when driving the corpse, it is led by an old priest who is also called a corpse chaser, no matter what the weather, this old division wears a pair of straw sandals, wears a green cloth robe, ties a black belt around his waist, wears a green cloth hat on his head, and hides a bag of charms in his waist bag.
The purpose of the trumpet is to let night walkers avoid it, and it is also to inform those who have dogs to lock up their dogs, and it is said that dogs will frighten spirits to ward off evil spirits.
If there are more than two corpses, they must be strung together one by one with straw ropes, one at a distance of one meter, and when they rush at night, the corpses must wear a high blanket hat on their heads and press several talismans on their foreheads.
And the corpse team is often followed by a small division, holding a dementor bell in his hand, and when he reaches a fork in the road and where there are people, he has to shake it, which means to prevent the souls sealed in the corpse from escaping.
On the way to drive the corpse, there is also the "dead corpse inn", this mysterious "dead corpse inn", only the dead corpse and the corpse chaser, ordinary people do not live, its door is open all year round, because behind the two large doors is the darkest place, suitable for the corpse to rest, can not be closed......
There are all kinds of doorways that are difficult for laymen to explain.
According to the proprietress of the proprietor, his husband Axi Gong was born in a family of corpse chasers, and at the age of eight he followed his grandfather as a corpse chaser, specializing in driving away those who died in other places and had bad luck in the mountains.
Axi Gong followed his grandfather for ten years, and when his grandfather died at the age of eighteen, he picked up the beams by himself, and worked alone, drove a lot of corpses in five or six years, made a lot of money, and married Hu Cui, a famous beauty in Miao Zhai ten miles and eight townships, that is, the current boss lady.
Later, there was a corpse in the Assi Palace, and I didn't know what happened, so I hurried back home, my face was pale, and I finished speaking, it's over.
The proprietress asked him what was wrong, and he didn't say anything, hurriedly packed up his things, took all the money, took the proprietress to the county seat to buy a ticket, and traveled a long way to Donghai City, opened a small restaurant, and since then he has washed his hands in a golden basin, and never mentioned the matter of driving away the corpse.
Although the proprietress was puzzled, she looked at her husband's appearance and never dared to ask more.
Until one day a few years ago, Axi Palace suddenly said to the proprietress with a heavy heart, I want to go back once, and I will come back within a month, if ...... If you don't come back, then I should die, you have to remember, no matter who comes to the door, you will tell the truth that you don't know anything, and they won't embarrass you if you want to come.
The proprietress was taken aback and asked her husband what had happened, but Axi Gong didn't say whether he was alive or dead, and left early the next morning.
After the Axi Palace left, the proprietress waited hard while doing business, and waited for a month, and did not see her husband come back.
It was an old lady and a young man who came, their faces were gloomy, and they asked, "Where are the things?"
The proprietress was confused, what did she say? What do you want?
The old lady said, don't talk nonsense, your husband took our things and didn't hand them over, so that your life would be worse than death.
The proprietress really didn't know, and asked in a panic, my husband didn't give me anything, where did he go, and what did you do to him?
When the old lady and the young man heard this, they felt that the proprietress didn't seem to know, so they didn't reply, and left angrily.
As a result, that night, the small restaurant and the proprietress house were turned upside down, and the proprietress was also knocked unconscious, and she wanted to cry without tears after waking up.
She didn't have the heart to do business anymore, so she was ready to go back to her hometown the next day, but just as she was about to go out, her husband returned.
The proprietress was very surprised, pulled Axi Palace and said a lot of things, and told the old lady and the young man about it, who knew that her husband's expression was very calm, and he said that he knew, as if nothing had happened, and he didn't tell her what she did when she went back this time.
After a few days, the proprietress found that Axi Gong's temperament seemed to have changed greatly, and it was completely different from before, she didn't speak her hometown dialect when she was with her, she spoke fluent Mandarin, she never touched her at night, and she always asked questions about her past.
The proprietress felt very strange, and one night she secretly watched Assi Palace taking a bath, and this look was even more puzzled, the birthmark on her husband's body was gone?
How could a birthmark be gone?
The proprietress was in a trance for several days, and she always felt that her husband was not her husband anymore.
A little old man came to the restaurant in the evening that day, and the first thing he said when he saw the proprietress was that his younger brothers and sisters were sad.
The proprietress knows this old man, he is the senior brother of her husband Axi Palace, and he once learned to chase corpses from his grandfather in Axi Palace, but what does it mean to mourn?
The old man explained that the junior brother was brutally murdered, and he went for more than ten days, and the senior brothers had no ability to provoke the enemy, and now the body of the junior brother is lying in Miao Village, you should go back as soon as possible.
The proprietress was stunned, and her husband went...... Who's in that house?
