Chapter 9: Burning the Body

According to Zhang Guozhong's idea, the most important thing at the moment is to formulate a combat policy to deal with Li Daming's collision, but Ma Zhenren didn't seem to have heard of this at all, first secretly stewed a big rooster of Captain Li's house and gave it a tooth sacrifice, and then wandered around the village aimlessly, and couldn't find anyone every day. This can make Zhang Guozhong anxious, especially Captain Li stepped forward from time to time to harass two sentences: "Mr. Zhang, you can't be too anxious about Daming's affairs, anyway, the second girl has already taken a fancy to you, sooner or later it will be your person, what are you anxious about?" ”…

That night, Ma Zhenren came back from wandering outside humming a song, it was already the ninth day, and he seemed to have forgotten about Li Daming. Zhang Guozhong couldn't help but speak: "Master, Li Daming's body and bones are almost unbearable, if we don't save people, we don't need to save them, right?" …”

As if he hadn't heard, he looked around the room, then pointed to the roof, "Go, give me some dirt." Zhang Guozhong was helpless, found a ladder, went up to the room and picked a lump of soil, and handed it to Ma Zhenren angrily. You little king and eight lambs have a good temper, when will you save people, I know in my heart, what are you anxious about? As he spoke, Ma Zhenren crushed the lumps, sprinkled them evenly on the ground, and then drew a few times with his fingers on the clay. Go, you ask Captain Li to find all the young and strong people in the village, and take the guys who dig the pit, remember, don't come if you want to be born on this day. Let's save people tonight! ”

When Zhang Guozhong heard that he was going to save people, he was immediately overjoyed, and Captain Li was also happy, and shouted directly with the loudspeaker in the village: "Today, Ma Daochang wants to cast a spell to save people, except for today's birthday, those who have the strength to gather at my house immediately, with ropes and shovels!" After thinking about it, I was afraid that there would not be enough people, so I added: "Those who come are counted as 5 points!" If it's not a birthday, you won't be able to deduct 5 points! (At that time, the commune distributed food according to work, seven cents for one work, and only five cents for a day's work.) )

There was still a group of educated youths living in the village, so he shouted with a loudspeaker, and it was endless. Zhang Guozhong only smiled bitterly.

Within half an hour, Captain Li's family gathered a large group of people, not to mention 50, and the strong laborers in the village were basically all there. At this time, Ma Zhenren went to the room, stood on a high place and began to decorate. To say that this Ma Zhenren's ability to go to the house is really not built, a young man in his 20s has to move the ladder to the house, he actually ran two steps, and ran up directly, including Zhang Guozhong, everyone looked stupid.

"The 20 people on the left, follow me, and the rest of the people on the right, go with my apprentice, do you understand?"

The villagers nodded, waiting for the next instructions, but they didn't expect Ma Zhenren to jump down directly and give Zhang Guozhong a piece of broken jade, "You take someone to Li Daming's house, tie him up first, find someone to stand on the house, watch the fire by the river, immediately put this in his mouth, don't open his mouth, just pry!" ”

Zhang Guozhong took people and went straight to Li Daming's house with a rope, and happened to meet Li Erya running over, and the two of them bumped into each other. Li Erya's face was like a red cloth at that time, "Zhang... Mr. Zhang, my father... My dad he... Again... I'm sick again, and this time it's more strange than any other, you... You... Let's go and take a look..."The voice became smaller and smaller, and when it came to the last few words, it was like a mosquito, and after speaking, he pursed his mouth and ran away, and Captain Li behind him looked at this happily, "Mr. Zhang, look, I said that the second girl has taken a fancy to you, isn't it you?" The surrounding villagers also began to coax together at this moment, what kind of second girl director, diligent, able to run a house, big butt and good birth, Zhang Guozhong has the heart to hang himself. If it weren't for saving people, I really wanted to find a well and jump.

At this time, Li Daming's house was filled with a very uncomfortable smell, not to mention stinky, but it was disgusting if it smelled too much. And Li Daming was like a headless fly, bumping around in the house, but what made Zhang Guozhong feel strange was that Li Daming seemed to want to get out of the house, bumping around next to the door, his head was bleeding, he just didn't go out of the door, and crawled on the ground, vomiting some yellow mucus, this disgusting smell was made of this yellow mucus.

A group of villagers rushed up and tied up Li Daming, however, at this time, Li Daming did not have the same bullish energy as before, and his hands and feet trembled, just like he was addicted to smoking. Watching the villagers tie themselves up, it seemed that they wanted to resist, but they had no strength at all.

The villagers didn't dare to be sloppy, and everyone remembered the moment when they broke the hemp rope. This time, Li Daming has become a silkworm chrysalis, basically he can't see the meat, and the rope on his body is probably a kilometer long, which is so strict that it is funny, especially the rope buckle on his body, which is tied by Li Li's lame leg who tied a sack in the village, and can only be cut with a knife if he wants to untie it.

Li Daming's face was full of snot and tears, lying under Zhang Guozhong's feet and squirming, "My lord, please spare me!" Xiangzhang knows that he is wrong! I'm wronged too! Poor and pathetic!。。。 ”

How could Zhang Guozhong pity him? At this moment, Zhang Guozhong took the broken jade in his hand and kept pondering, this Li Daming suddenly had no strength, the master must have done something in the past few days, but he walked around every day, and he didn't take anything in his hand, it didn't look like he was doing anything? At this moment, in Zhang Guozhong's concept, there must always be a bunch of strange materials to cure ghosts.

Besides, Ma Zhenren led a group of strong laborers with shovels to the river embankment, pointed to a clearing more than ten meters away from the place where Li Daming dug up the coffin, and reversed the usual hippie smiling attitude, his face was full of anger, and he yelled, "Dig!" ”

Labor force, as the name suggests, is the power of labor, the more people, the greater the strength, within 15 minutes, has been dug down more than two meters, at this time a villager shouted "dig that line!" (Local local language: line, degree "hangyin", line = things or things or people) "At this time, the villagers, just like the toads in the field were frightened, threw down the shovels one by one and ran, and in a few seconds, they all jumped behind Ma Zhenren five or six meters away, and it turned out that a large sarcophagus was dug.

Ma Zhenren's angry teeth fell, "What kind of fart am you afraid of here!" Keep digging! Fast! ”

The villagers trembled and picked up the shovel and pickaxe, and began to dig again, and in about 20 minutes, the large sarcophagus was completely dug up, and the lid was lifted, and it turned out to be a wet corpse.

The so-called wet corpse, is the same moisture content as the normal human body, or even higher than the normal human body many non-rotting corpses, some wet corpses simply soaked in water or the same as just fished, the moisture content of this corpse meets the growth conditions of microorganisms, but does not breed microorganisms, and does not decay, not deteriorating, at most fishy, but by no means smelly.

Until now, the scientific explanation of wet corpses can only be vaguely explained by the soil quality, climate and other unrelated reasons. Many novels talk about wet corpses, always using what lifelike, what is like a living adjective to describe it, in fact, it is just artistic processing, people have died for hundreds of thousands of years, even if they are put in the freezer, they are frozen white, let alone soaked in a coffin? If a living person must grow like this, will the one who sees him live?

Ma Zhenren walked to the edge of the pit and looked at the wet corpse in the coffin, wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, but there was a mark between the head and the neck, which was obviously cut off and then the head was pressed back to bury. But what exactly is going on is unknown.

At this time, Captain Li was bringing two people to carry several large bundles of firewood according to Ma Zhenren's arrangement, just in time for no one to get the wet corpse. Captain Li was anxious and yelled: Isn't it just a broken corpse, I'll get it, whoever comes over to take a hand and give five yuan!

Five bucks! The monthly work in the commune is only 10 yuan, and half a month's work! As the saying goes, rich ghosts can grind, let alone people, this price was opened, and the villagers immediately began to loosen, seeing that everyone was loose, Captain Li continued to shout! "Four pieces!" At this time, two or three people in the villagers immediately stood up and volunteered, and after hesitating for two seconds, they would lose one dollar, and if they hesitated, they might not even be able to earn two yuan...

A bottle of lamp oil was scorched on the firewood, Ma Zhenren gave an order, and the raging fire lit up the whole night, at this time, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of Li Daming's house, which shocked people, and some of the timid even threw away the shovel in their hands, "It won't be blown up, right?" "The imagination of the people in the village is really boundless.

The fire is burning! The villagers on Li Daming's house shouted, but in fact, he didn't need to shout, there were no buildings in the countryside, and the fires could be seen several miles away.

At this time, Zhang Guozhong took out the broken jade, carried Li Daming's head and stuffed it into his mouth. Sure enough, as Ma Zhenren said, no matter how weak Li Daming's body is, he still has the strength in his mouth, and he clenches his teeth, but he doesn't open his mouth. "Bring the shovel!" The first time he participated in a real ritual in the real sense, Zhang Guozhong's heart was raised to his throat, for fear that Yusai would be late.

This piece of jade is not big, it is not small, it is impossible to swallow, but it can enter the mouth.

After the jade was stuffed into Li Daming's mouth, Zhang Guozhong and several surrounding villagers pressed his chin tightly to prevent him from spitting out the jade. Just pressed it like this for about ten minutes, Li Daming finally didn't move, Zhang Guozhong just wanted to let go of his hand to rest his arm, and suddenly Li Daming spit out a mouthful of black water, connected with a piece of jade, the black thing is not blood, but it stinks outrageously, and the people in the room almost vomit together. Zhang Guozhong thought that this was over, but Li Daming's next move reassured him. "Oh, I'm comfortable, I'm starving, who will bring me a dumpling to eat?"
