Chapter 563: Collecting Birds (84)
I saw that where the thousand-year-old pine was torn apart, there was a corpse, exuding a wicked smell of decay, the skin of the corpse had festered, and there were several two-fingered swallows pecking at the flesh of the corpse, thousands of white flies and maggots were wriggling around the neck of the corpse, and the messy silver hair was mixed with a few traces of blood, covering the whole face of the corpse, and the bloody intestines hung lonely and weakly next to the hair, looking extremely desolate.
Seeing this scene, my stomach churned, and I vomited.
"Brother Nine, what's wrong with you!" That Wang Chuyao asked suspiciously.
I wiped the filth from the corner of my mouth, covered her eyes, and said, "Don't look, turn away." ”
She was slightly stunned and said, "What, it's just a tree, there's nothing you can't see." ”
As she spoke, she broke my arm vigorously and continued, "When I was a child, I saw a lot of corpses with my grandmother, and very few corpses could scare me. ”
"Are you sure?" I was stunned for a moment.
"Of course!" She said angrily, took my arm away, and looked in that direction. In less than three seconds, she screamed, 'Oh! He threw up violently.
After about a minute of vomiting, she stood up, glared at me fiercely, and said, "Brother Jiu, you... You, I... I'll ignore you. ”
I smiled bitterly and let her stand where she was, and I walked in that direction with a flashlight, and Wang Chuyao seemed to be a little worried about me and followed.
Walking to the tree, I looked up with a flashlight, and I saw that there seemed to be something on the intestines of the corpse.
"Chu Yao, you go find a long stick, and we'll get that corpse down." I said to Wang Chuyao.
"Get it down?" She looked at me incredulously.
I nodded and said, "According to the rules of our Eight Immortals, when you encounter a corpse in the wild, you must bury the deceased. ”
She was stunned, looked at me, and wondered, "What about the yin marriage?" ”
Hearing her say this, I thought for a while, if the body is brought down, it will have to dig a pit to bury the body, so it will definitely be delayed for a lot of hours, and if you can't get to the tent before the ugly time, what should I do?
Seeing that I didn't speak, Wang Chuyao frowned, and said, "Brother Jiu, do you think this is okay?" Let's go back to the tent first to get the yin marriage done, and when the morning dawns, let's come back and bury this corpse?" ”
I stopped and said, "No, if I come back tomorrow, this corpse will probably be pecked clean by the swallows." ”
She was anxious and hurriedly said, "But... Can... But when you get married, even if you dig a pit and bury the body, it will take two hours, and it will be too late, and it will make Aunt Lian angry. ”
It's okay not to mention Aunt Lian, but when I mention Aunt Lian, I am also very angry, so I said: "That old witch can do whatever she wants, I can't watch the body of the deceased being eaten by swallows." ”
"You..." she was so angry with me that she stomped her feet and said, "Brother Jiu, you are so angry, is the dead more important than a yin marriage?" ”
I stared at her for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I am the Eight Immortals, I earn the money of the dead, I eat the food of the dead, I have the responsibility and obligation to bury any of the dead, even if the dead can't give me a penny, this is the professional ethics that the Eight Immortals should have." ”
As soon as the words fell, she opened her mouth and questioned, "Isn't Sister Su the dead?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, this question was not easy to answer, and after thinking about it for a while, I said to her: "These are two different things, Mengke's body is in the flower bridge, and the nameless corpse in front of me will be eaten by swallows at any time." ”
"You..." she pointed at me, didn't speak again, but took out her mobile phone, pressed the keyboard a few times, the mobile phone shot out a cloud of white light, it should be the flashlight that came with the mobile phone, and walked not far away.
I called out to her and asked her what she was doing, and she said angrily, looking for a stick.
Hearing this, I couldn't laugh or cry, I didn't pay attention to her anymore, and began to look at the corpse, from the color of the corpse's hair, it can be seen that the deceased should be an old man, and I don't know what's going on, my heart suddenly moved inexplicably, that feeling is so strange, I feel as if I know the deceased, right?
I'm stunned, no! How could it be her, I remember passing by Qiao's house, I saw two figures outside the window, and I was still thinking at the time that those two figures should be her and Joyce, and now the dazzling silver hair makes me have to feel more uneasy.
At that moment, I once again carried the flashlight towards the corpse, and the hair was illuminated by the light of the flashlight, with some yellow light, plus a few traces of blood, and there was an indescribable desolation. It's not her, it's certainly not her, she can't die, all my hopes are in her, she can't die, she can't die, if she dies, all my previous speculations are all wrong.
I couldn't believe what I saw, and rubbed my eyes vigorously, but the blinding silver hair told me once again that there was a 60% chance that the corpse was her.
Yes! No way!
I looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, not caring about the injury on my back, I stuffed the flashlight into my mouth, and climbed up with the thousand-year-old pine in both hands. In less than a minute, I crawled to the place where the body was hanging, and a pungent rancid smell hit me. I was slightly stunned, frowned, and stepped on the tree pole on the left side, it is worth mentioning that the position under my feet is exactly where the thousand-year-old pine was torn apart.
As soon as I stepped on it, there was a strange feeling under my feet, as if I was stepping on not a tree pole, but silt. Rub, I cursed secretly, no wonder the left side of this thousand-year-old pine will be torn apart by me, and the tree pole on the left side has been completely corroded.
Since I was anxious to know if this corpse was the person I thought it was, and I didn't think about why the left side was corroded, I found a fairly solid place on the left side and stepped on it, and shone a flashlight at the corpse, and saw that the corpse was lying on its stomach, with bare/exposed white shiny bones on its back, and I couldn't find a piece of flesh, and I could vaguely see the internal organs of the corpse.
To my surprise, the snakes ran away when they heard the movement, and the swallows with two fingers were still pecking at the corpses as if I didn't exist, and I stamped my feet and bluffed at them.
They stopped pecking, looked up at me, didn't run, and continued to peck.
Rub, what the hell swallow is this. I cursed and stomped my foot a few more times, but the swallow didn't even raise its head, flapped its wings a few times, and continued to peck at it.
I was a little angry, and looked around, intending to find something to chase the swallows away, and then break the dead man's hair to see if the face was hers.
At this moment, Wang Chuyao called out to me. I turned my head to look and saw her dragging an eight- or nine-meter-long wooden ladder over, and as she walked, she said with difficulty: "Brother Jiu, you see I have found something." ”
When I saw the ladder, I was stunned, the red cloth, the swallow, the corpse, the ladder, could all this be the old witch's trap? She lured me up the tree with a red cloth and then let the swallows push me down the tree? She's trying to kill me? If you kill me, what will happen to the yin marriage? No, it's definitely not right, there must be something wrong with something, that old witch is counting on me to marry Su Mengke, she can't kill me.
