Chapter 12: It's Dark

Lying on the bed, I felt a little turbulent in my heart, thinking of the dragon girl, the old man, and Chen Anjia......

My thoughts were very chaotic and didn't make any sense, but I just couldn't control my thoughts, and I stayed up straight until the second half of the night, and I finally fell asleep, and I slept until noon.

After eating with the old man Du Qing, I took the padded jacket that the old man gave me, refused the two who wanted to give it away, and walked towards the corpse village along the route in my memory.

Along the way, I turned my head 100%, I don't know if it was because of the same hair as the dog, or the red cotton jacket in my arms.

This red cotton jacket old man doesn't know how many years it has been placed, it looks very new except for some fading, it has not been worn at first glance, and it also exudes a faint smell of camphor, which smells very good.

When I think of what the old man said to me, I can't help but look a little weird.

Because, this red cotton jacket is actually a wedding dress.

Well, not at all......

Putting away the chaotic speculation and thoughts in my mind, I came to the corpse fishing village, which occupies a large place in the strange stories of ten miles and eight towns.

From the outside in, this really looks like an ordinary village, the total is not large, it looks like there are only a few dozen families, and there are no corpses hanging at the door of every house.

Such chaos may have existed before, but since the news of many corpse diggers abusing corpses in order to blackmail their families has been frequently reported, these people are now very honest, so the corpse collection village now looks a little unremarkable.

It's just that......

This thought didn't last long, and when I walked into the village, my nose smelled a faint stench, like the smell of dead animals when they rotted for a long time, and I was a little puzzled at first, but soon I thought that this was a corpse village, and then I thought of the corpse smell that I often mentioned in those novels.

As soon as I thought of this, my face suddenly turned pale, and my stomach couldn't help but churn a little, regretting that I had eaten too much before going out, which caused me to want to vomit very much now.

After covering my nose for a long time, I suppressed the desire to vomit and turned my head to talk to someone, but when I looked around, I realized that there were no people in this village in broad daylight, not even a dog.

You can't all go out to the river to get corpses, right?

With a hint of uneasiness, I walked inside and looked around at the houses, and soon I saw a house with the courtyard door open.

"Anyone?"

After hesitating for a moment, I raised my feet and walked in, not forgetting to shout halfway so as not to be too abrupt, but I saw it, but at that moment my heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, and I stopped beating for half a beat!

I saw a thin old man with a sallow face and old age spots lying on a chair at the door of the hall, as if he was basking in the sun, and there was a black coffin in the center of the hall behind him!

This scene, not to mention how weird it is!

"Ah...... Who is it? The old man opened his eyes, his face trembled like the peel of a rotten orange, and he asked me, "Are you here to find someone?"

The old man's voice was a little confused, and he did not get up from his chair, as if he had fallen asleep before.

I swallowed and nodded, after all, I didn't say that I was looking for someone but entered the corpse village, and everyone should be suspicious.

"Men and women, how old are they?" When the old man heard this, he stood up and said to himself: "I have a man here, who was picked up the day before yesterday, and is estimated to be forty years old. ”

"No, the person I'm looking for is a woman, twenty years old, one meter six five tall." I said quickly.

The old man was a little disappointed when he heard this, sat down again, and said, "Then you can go elsewhere and take a look, many of them have already gone to the river, and they will almost all come back in the evening." ”

I nodded, but refused to leave, but touched my arm, and said with a palpitating face: "Uncle, why can't I see a few people on this road, let alone people, not even a dog, and there are some people in the daytime." ”

The old man couldn't help but smile when he heard this, closed his eyes and said happily: "We are different from other places, no one has cats and dogs, otherwise who can sleep if they bark vigorously in the middle of the night?" ”

I thought about it, and couldn't help but pull a stool and sit in front of him, and asked him if he had ever seen a ghost after all these years of fishing for corpses?

The old man drooped his eyelids and glanced at me, and said in an unkind tone: "If you want to die and find somewhere else, don't say this word here, it's unlucky." ”

After speaking, he looked me up and down again, and said, "Housheng, you're not here to find someone, are you?" What exactly do you want to do? ”

I pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "Uncle, why do you say that, if you didn't come to look for someone, who would have nothing to do here?" ”

The old man snorted and said, "Outsiders come to look for people crying, I haven't seen you come looking for people with such a hippie smile." ”

I laughed, didn't hide it, and asked: "Uncle, you really see people, but you're wrong, I did come to look for people, but I was looking for living people, do you know a person named Li Pingxian?" He was also a corpse digger and lived here in his early years. ”

"Li Pingxian? That's a big name. Although the old man was impatient, he still answered my question: "There are only so many people in the village who go back and forth, and there is no one with this name." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and told me to leave as soon as I was fine.

I was really surprised, because if the old man didn't lie, then the old man lied, but the old man is a corpse digger, after all, the usual craftsmanship can't be faked.

That is to say, the old man lied about his name, he was not originally called Li Pingxian, and the name Li Pingxian was probably given by him later.

Thinking about it, I frowned, pretending not to hear the old man's eviction order, but continued to ask: "That uncle, do you know a ...... named Chen An?"

"Shut up! Get out of here! ”

Before I could finish speaking, the old man on the stool in front of me showed a vigor that did not match his age, and pushed me out of the chair.

I was stunned, and when I was pushed out of the door, the old man's hand closed the door paused, and then he said to me with a gloomy face: "I don't care what you're here for, but don't stay long, you must leave before dark, and here, don't say that name." ”

"If you don't want to be approached by something."

With that, the door shut.

I didn't expect that the people here would be so taboo about what had happened to Chen An's family, and even Chen An's name had become a taboo here.

If only a few people died at the beginning, it shouldn't be like this, and it seems that after this, the corpse fishing village is not calm......

Can't name it...... That child daughter-in-law's obsession with Chen An seems to be really big.

As soon as I came to the corpse village, I felt a layer of haze, I was not in a good mood, although instinct told me that I should leave here as soon as possible, but there was no way, I couldn't leave yet.

The reason why I insist so much is not only to learn the whereabouts of the dragon girl, but I also have some things I want to find out.

The sky is about to be late, the sun is hanging in the sky, the sun can no longer prevent the naked eye from looking directly at it, seeing that the sky is about to get dark, I don't plan to continue to inquire, there is a high probability that nothing will be found, not to mention that there is a possibility of being beaten.

Before dark, I rushed to the small mansion outside the east end of the village, which was not difficult to find, and it could even be said that it was bald outside, and it was difficult not to notice it.

This house is not big, and it looks ordinary, if it weren't for the clumps of wild grass that have grown on the wall, it is really similar to the other people's houses.

Walking to the door, I pulled a big iron lock on the door, this iron lock is some years old, at a glance it is the old object of the past, although it is rusty after so many years, but it can't be pulled off by pulling hard.

Putting down the lock, I gave up the intention of breaking in, looked up at the height of the wall, I took a few steps back and rushed forward, grabbed the wall with both hands and flipped in.

When I came to the courtyard, I patted the dust on my body, and saw that the courtyard had not been taken care of for I don't know how many years, and the barren grass was waist-high, but in addition to the desolation, I saw that many things were not taken away by the owner of the house, and the benches were placed on the ground, and a few clothes that had been blown off by the wind fell on the ground and were almost integrated with the soil.

It can be seen that the owner of the house did not pack up much when he left, and he left in a hurry.

I even saw that the doors of several rooms were unlocked.

By this time it was already dark, and I glanced at the hall, and hesitated not to go in, but to enter the door of a room on the side, and when I entered the door, the room was very complete, but it was all covered with a thick layer of dust.

I turned around and plugged in the door, made the bed briefly, and looked out through the crack in the window, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

It's dark.
