Chapter 34: Burying the Dried Corpse
I cautiously followed them.
The further you go inside, the darker it becomes. But I feel that the air in the cave is still so fresh. I don't smell a little weird.
It stands to reason that there are so many corpses in this cave that there should smell of mold and decay. But not here.
I saw the group of corpses enter the circular hole on the right. I followed.
But the zombies suddenly disappeared, and I looked around the cave. It was dark inside, and nothing could be seen. When a burst of yin qi hit, I felt scared, and I didn't dare to go any further, for fear that I would get lost and not be able to get out.
I turned around and was about to get out of the hole, when suddenly a white face like paper appeared in front of me. The distance is up to two centimeters.
I exclaimed loudly, oh my mother, and I was so scared that my urine came out.
"Zhihan, it's me. Scares you? ”
It's my mother, she's bending over to help me get my books.
"Take off your clothes and go to bed, so you don't freeze again."
I took off my plush cotton pajamas and slipped into the covers to continue sleeping. Leave that zombie dream behind.
I didn't wake up until my mother woke me up, it was so fragrant.
Chubby now wakes up earlier than me every morning. While I was still brushing my teeth, he knocked on my door.
"Auntie, I'll help you move."
I poked my head out and saw Chubby smiling at my mother.
"Oops, thank you so much! Come, come, come. Come on in. Mom's happy voice.
"Haven't you had breakfast yet? Come and eat the bread, and I'll help you fill the porridge. Zhihan said that he would move it when he came back after delivering the goods. Chubby, as soon as we move out and you live in this house alone, the burden will be heavy. Want to no longer share a room with your contacts? ”
Mom was busy with her hands on one side, and her mouth was chattering non-stop.
I washed up and came out of the bathroom and sat down at the table for breakfast.
"Don't share a room, just live alone. If you do a good job, take your mother to live with you. I interjected.
"Hehe, you went with me. My mother was discharged from the hospital and I was home alone, and I was not at ease. My sister is getting married. ”
Chubby looked at me with a smiling Buddha smile again. The big eyes narrowed into a slit.
After breakfast, Chubby and I rode to the company.
God help me, I have surprisingly few shipments this morning. Two dozen pieces.
Xiao Huang said: "You go back and move, I and the thin man will help you deliver this amount of goods." ”
And just like that, Chubby and I rode back again.
Actually, there is not much to move.
I took a cart of clothes and valuable antiques and stuff.
Those pots and pans, including the quilt, were thrown to Chubby. His mother will be able to use it when she comes over later.
Entering the villa, my mother's excited face smiled.
I moved my grandfather's box of antiques to my room.
When the house was renovated, my grandfather installed a safe in my room. I put the box and antiques in the safe.
"Mom, you are slowly cleaning up at home alone, and I have something to do with Xiaopang going out. If you don't come back for dinner at noon, you may have to come back in the evening. ”
After putting the box away, I went downstairs and said to my mother.
My mother took my words with a smile on her face: "Go, go." You are busy with your go. You don't have to worry about the family. ”
Chubby and I came out of the villa and called out to Huang and Thin to prepare to go to Toyama together.
Lawyer Xiao Song suddenly called me and asked me where I was.
I said I'm waiting for Skinny and Yellow to go to Toyama.
She said take her with her.
We had to take her with us. If she doesn't call, I'm not going to take her there, for fear she's scared.
In fact, Xiao Huang is off today, and the company came to help me deliver the goods.
The thin man and I both found someone to help deliver the afternoon goods. The surplus of the evening will be delivered to one piece tomorrow morning.
I took a shovel and pickaxe and chartered a taxi, and took Xiao Song at the Golden Glory Hotel to Toyama.
The car drove directly into the cave. When I got out of the car and walked into the cave, the ground was a mess. Melon seed shells, fruit skins, all kinds of plastic packaging bags, paper bags, milk cartons are really everything.
I asked the taxi driver to wait for us at the bottom of the mountain. I'm afraid he'll be afraid to see the corpse.
I didn't know how to be scared when I ran around in a daze last night. I came in during the day today, but I felt that it was very eerie inside.
This cave is really deep, and it feels like you have come to the heart of this mountain.
We finally reached the entrance of the cave. But I can't remember from which of the five or six holes I entered.
Last night, because I was afraid and fled in a hurry, I couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, how could I remember the appearance of the cave?
Lawyer Xiao Song said she knew. When I came out last night, I dropped the bracelet at the entrance of the hole in a panic. Because of the darkness and the fear of her, she didn't call back to look for it.
Now she told us to look for the bracelet, and the bracelet found in the hole was the hole.
The five of us began to bend down and look for the bracelet on the ground.
After a while, lawyer Xiao Song shouted loudly that he had found it.
We went in through the hole where the bracelet was found.
I took the lead, holding up the torch.
Sure enough, it was the entrance of this cave, and the ground was full of dried corpses.
"How do you bury so much? Just dig a pit here and bury it. The thin man looked at the corpses all over the ground and was stunned.
There are indeed too many, probably hundreds. We didn't have anything inside the rope that could trap the corpse.
I was hesitating.
Lawyer Xiao Song said: "Isn't it the same as not burying here? I just saw vines outside the entrance to the cave. The body was dragged out and buried with a tree vine. ”
Her words reminded me of that dream I had last night. The miserable appearance of these unjust souls who served as soldiers was driven by those Qing Dynasty soldiers to run around is very pitiful.
I said I'd better bury it outside.
Xiao Huang and I went out with shovels to get vines.
When we get back, drag the corpses out of the cave.
Lawyer Xiao Song found a flat land, and we dug a big pit and buried the bodies together.
In the middle of winter, a few of us were so tired that we were sweating profusely. It was not until almost three o'clock that all the hundreds of corpses were buried.
We were tired and hungry. Hurry up and call the driver to come up.
But the driver was really a profiteer, and he went out to the streets to solicit customers while we were working in the mountains.
We waited another half hour for the car to arrive.
The taxi stopped opposite the Golden Glory Hotel and I paid 300 yuan. Said a few words to the driver.
When he saw the money, he said he was sorry with a very humble attitude.
A few of us went into the beef noodle restaurant and each of us ate a large bowl of beef noodles. Gnawed on a pig's trotter and duck wings. Drank a few cans of beer.
Lawyer Xiao Song doesn't drink alcohol, but still drinks orange juice.
I suddenly remembered the money she had in my pocket last night. He took it out and put it in front of her.
"Here's your money last night."
Lawyer Xiao Song said: "How did this your money become my money?" Take it yourself. ”
She shoved the money in front of me.
I said that this was agreed last night and everyone shared it equally, how can I take your money.
She glared at me with wide eyes and said, "Where did all that come from, I said it's your money, it's your money." ”
Hey, what's the fire?
"I ate beef noodles just now, not gun powder, why is the anger so big?" I smiled at her and joked.
She sneered.
Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh.
I said, "Then I'll keep it for you, don't be angry." How about we go for a sauna? ”
Everyone raised their hands in agreement.
