Shun Ye slowly talked about this story, he said: "During the Kangxi period, the world was initially decided, people thought about governance, and wanted to live a peaceful life, because the Tartar soldiers killed too much karma, and there were many bones everywhere, and for a while, demonic things sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, one by one, we belonged to Yizhou Guan, poisoned by the war, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and this happened to us here."

Here's the thing, at that time, we had rumors of zombies here, and people were often killed by zombies. On this day, two officers escorted a prisoner through this place. At that time, the autumn wind was bleak, the rain was pouring down, and the sky was gradually darkening, but the three of them could not find a place to stay for a while, so they had to go on the road in the dark, and the heavy rain invaded the basin and it was difficult to walk, and the two officers opened the shackles around the prisoner's neck and let the prisoner follow.

When I walked to the first shift, I saw a faint candlelight from a distance, and there would naturally be a house if there was a light, and the three of them were overjoyed, and they couldn't help running fast under their feet, and they came to see that they were two houses, one after the other were built in the mountains and forests, which were already a little dilapidated, and there seemed to be no breath of life, and it looked indescribably strange at night, and the light was revealed from the front room.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the three of them were drenched in the rain, and they couldn't care so much, and when they saw that there was a place to shelter from the rain, they pushed open the door of the front room and went in. They pushed the door and went in to see, this room was very narrow, thick earthen walls, it seemed to be very thick, the room was very awkward, after entering, people were breathless, there was nothing else in the room, only a bed, on the bed sat a beautiful woman, was crying there in a low voice, three people entered, the woman was frightened, the woman looked at the three people in horror, the three people also looked at the woman, only to see that the woman looked beautiful, the face was a little pale, it may be the reason for the night, Her apricot eyes were full of tears, a little touching.

Seeing that the woman was afraid, the leading officer stepped forward and said, "We are officials from other counties, because we are escorting prisoners, the road is raining heavily, it is difficult to hurry in the dark, just passing through this place, please let us stay overnight, and leave tomorrow morning, there are many disturbances, please do not be surprised." ”

The woman slowly raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "My husband has just died, the body is still in the house behind and has not been buried, and there are no other relatives in the family, only me, a widow, this lonely man and widow, in the wilderness, I am afraid it is not convenient for you to stay overnight." ”

At this time, the three of them were cold and hungry, just as the so-called hunger and cold were exhausted, and there was a violent storm outside, so they really did not want to rush to the night road, so the three of them begged bitterly, saying that it was difficult to walk on a rainy night, and repeatedly begged the woman to allow them to stay overnight. At last the woman seemed unable to resist their begging, and said to them, "If you must stay, you can only live in the house in the back, but in that house there is my husband's body, and I am afraid you will be disturbed." ”

At this time, the three of them only begged for a place to rest for the night, and they said that it didn't matter, so they would live in the back room, so the woman agreed to their request. The three of them lit candles and went to the back room, pushed open the door, and sure enough, they saw a corpse parked in the middle of the house, covered with a broken straw mat, and covered with a yellow paper covering their faces, and when they opened the door, they brought in a gust of wind, and the wind blew up the yellow paper on the dead man's face, and the prisoner saw the dead man's face clearly, and saw that the dead man's face was sallow, and it was even more yellow in the candlelight, and he didn't see his eyes, but he saw the dead man's mouth, and he saw that the dead man's mouth was wide open, as if there was something like fangs in his mouth. But when the wind blew suddenly, the yellow paper covering his face fell, and then he was out of sight, and the prisoner's heart chuckled, but the two officers did not notice.

When they went into the house, the prisoner did not want to go in, but the officer drew him in, and then put the candle on the mortuary bed, and the prisoner quickly said that he was sorry, and that if he stayed here for one night, the two officers laughed at the prisoner's cowardice. The prisoner didn't care about this, he was respectful to the dead man, and the three of them ate some dry food indiscriminately, and then they found the corner of the wall, prepared to sleep in kimono, and said that there are three kinds of suffering in the world, the army is to herd sheep and fight the farmers, and the prisoner is sentenced to be the army, so this suffering has to be gritted and suffered. Although he was wronged, since ancient times, the entrance of the yamen has been open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money. Who called the prisoner to have no money and no power.

When he was sleeping, the official brought shackles to lock the prisoner, and the prisoner saw that something was wrong with the dead man, and he was afraid, so he begged the official not to lock it, saying that he was weak and couldn't run at all, and the official heard that it was the same thing, and now it was in the mountains, and it was in the wild mountains and forests, and it was raining heavily, and if he wanted to escape, he was looking for death, so he let the prisoner sleep in the innermost, and the two officials slept outside.

The two servants had seen a lot of the world, and they were bold, and they fell asleep by leaning against the corner of the wall for a while, but the prisoner could not sleep, and looked at the dead man sleeping on the bed with fear, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became, so he closed his eyes, and tried to make himself sleep, but he could not sleep, and then he heard that there seemed to be movement, and he was afraid, so he quickly opened his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the candle on the bed of the dead man, and suddenly it flickered, and then it became darker and darker, and finally became a flame the size of a bean, and it emitted a miserable green light, and the whole room was destroyed, the green and faint light, it is very weird.

At this moment, the face paper that suddenly covered the dead man's face rose without wind and fell to the ground with a squeak, and then the corpse sleeping on the dead man's bed slowly moved. At that time, the prisoner's frightened three souls flew together, his seven spirits were scattered, his body trembled vigorously, and he wanted to shout, but he couldn't shout.

At this time, the corpse slowly got up, the body got up very slowly, sat up straight, lifted the straw mat off the body, and then slowly turned to the prisoner, the prisoner was already frightened, only to see the corpse, the hair was scattered, the face was as sallow as gold paper, the two eyes were shining with green light, the mouth was open, the corners of the mouth were upturned, and the whole face was very hideous and terrifying. The prisoner watched as the corpse slowly put its legs under the bed, then stood up, slowly jumped to the candle, stretched out a hand, and roasted it on the candle, the prisoner knew that it was a zombie, or a corpse. But now he can't speak, he can't move, he can only watch the zombie roast his hand, roasted for a while, that hand has been blackened by the candle, the flame is very close to the zombie's hand, but he doesn't know the pain, looking at his blackened hand, he opened his mouth and laughed, the laughter seemed to be there, very illusory.

After the zombie finished roasting his hands, he stood up and turned slowly, and then jumped towards the three of them, among these three people, only the prisoner did not sleep, but he couldn't move, couldn't make a sound, he could only watch the zombie approach, the zombie jumped in front of a servant, looked at the officer, and then put his face closer and closer, it seemed that he wanted to suck the vitality of the officer, but the zombie's body was a little stiff, his face was always against the face of the officer, the zombie stretched out his blackened hand at this time, and smeared it on the heavenly spirit cover of the officer, Painted in circles, at this moment, suddenly from the heavenly spirit cover of the servant, flew out of three small ball-like things, the three small balls were like three clouds of smoke, straight upward, at this time the zombie opened its mouth all of a sudden, the three small balls, all of a sudden flew into the zombie's mouth.

After the zombie sucked three small balls, it seemed to be very happy, and let out that kind of laughter, after laughing, he turned around and walked towards the candle, and the prisoner understood this time, this zombie is not drinking blood, but sucking people's souls, and cultivating with people's souls.

The zombie returned to the candle, continued to roast his hands, and kept his hands black, then the zombie came back, went to the side of the second officer, looked down at the officer, and seemed to make a very small roar in his mouth, it looked at the officer, and slowly put his hand on the officer's heavenly spirit cover, the prisoner could not speak or run, and could only watch the zombie smear on the officer's heavenly spirit cover.
