Mei Lin took a deep breath, inserted the carpentry axe into the gap in the coffin, and then pry it upward.

With a creak, the lid of the coffin was pried and shaken, and a crack emerged.

He widened the gap, and a rosin-like smell wafted out of the coffin.

Generally speaking, the smell of rancid smell wafting from the coffin should be.

He was surprised by such a good smell.

Mei Lin lifted the lid of the coffin and shone a flashlight into it.

In the coffin was a sheet of cloth that had turned to ashes, and underneath it was bulging, as if a person was lying.

As soon as his hand touched it, the dust of the cloth sheet drifted away.

A figure emerged from below, and it was a ruddy old man.

His beard and hair were snow-white, as if he were asleep.

His hands were crossed over his chest, and his nails were long, like small knives.

Underneath his hands, there was a black piece of wood more than a foot long.

The wood was the thickness of a wrist, and it was covered in bumps and scars.

Most obviously, there is a fist-sized protrusion in the center.

Could this be what Master said about the corpse hugging wood?

Mei Lin was excited and nervous, he held the axe in one hand and the black wood in the other.

It was held tightly in the arms of the corpse.

Mei Lin held her breath and went to break the corpse's hand.

The hand was hard and cold, and it took a lot of effort to break it off.

He was going to put the axe aside and go out with both hands to break his hands.

At this moment, the hand clicked, and the corpse's eyes suddenly opened!

Mei Lin was startled, and just wanted to retract his hand, but the other party's wrist flipped and he had already grabbed his hand.

The long nails left several scratches on the back of his hand.

The corpse struggled a few times, then slowly sat up.

His eyes had been closed for a long time, and there was a sticky white liquid on them.

Dead fish-like eyes stared at Mei Lin without blinking.

The corpse's mouth opened, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and bit down on his neck.

Mei Lin tried several times, but he couldn't retract his hand.

Mei Lin was really panicked now, the black dog's blood was outside, and he couldn't touch it at all.

He shouted, "Master, help me!"

Master said helplessly, "The strength I have accumulated for a long time was used up by you that day.

I can't really help you this time, you're on your own!

Is your axe vegan? ”

After her reminder, Mei Lin remembered.

Seeing that the other party's teeth were less than a foot away from his neck.

Mei Lin gritted his teeth and swung his axe to slash at the corpse's neck.

The carpentry axe was very sharp, glowing white in the moonlight, and slashed firmly at the corpse's neck.

With a pop, the head rolled down like a ball.

When it landed in the coffin, there was a thud.

At the same time, a stream of black blood sprayed Mei Lin's head and face.

The blood also has a strong pine scent.

Although the head of the corpse was cut off, the hand never let go.

Mei Lin swung his axe and severed the hands off his wrists.

The hands were still attached to his arms.

Mei Lin didn't care so much, and reached out to pick up the log.

The wood was heavy in his hand, like iron.

What surprised him the most was that the original pimple wood surface was sprayed with blood from the corpse, and a face faintly appeared.

The face was exactly the same as the face of the deceased.

Mei Lin took a deep breath and threw the wood outside the grave.

He looked at the two severed hands that grabbed his arms with some disgust.

He put an axe to his arm, and it took a great deal of effort to cut off the corpse's fingers.

The severed hand fell weakly into the coffin.

Mei Lin hurriedly closed the lid of the coffin and filled the grave with dirt.

When he was done, his head was covered in sweat.

He picked up the corpse and sat under the big locust tree, snorting and panting.

Master's voice came, and his tone was much softer, "It seems that I didn't mistake you as an apprentice, you still have a little guts."

This is just the beginning, and there are many more tests waiting for you in the future! ”

Mei Lin asked curiously, Master, what is this corpse hugging wood?

Master said, "This is a very rare piece of wood, and it is hard to find.

The deceased knew what was special about it and kept it with him during his lifetime.

Take it to the grave after death, so that his body does not decompose.

The most important thing is that there is a strong aura stored in the corpse hugging wood, which can cure many incurable diseases.

The more years a tree gets, the more vigorous the aura it contains.

It can often play an unexpected role. ”

Regarding Master's words, Mei Lin was also skeptical.

Because as a carpenter, he has come into contact with a lot of wood, and it is diverse.

But it's not as amazing as Master said.

As if he didn't believe it very much, Master continued, if you want to cure Shen Yanfei's illness, it is not enough to just hug the corpse, you also need the combination of several qi-replenishing medicinal materials. ”

The medicinal herbs with the best effect on tonifying Zhongqi are human body, astragalus, wolfberry, etc.

It's just that they are expensive, and Shen Yanfei's illness is very serious, so she has to choose the best medicinal materials.

Thinking of this, Mei Lin couldn't help but touch his pocket.

A lot of the salary just paid has been used, and the rest is estimated to be barely enough to buy medicinal materials for Shen Yanfei.

Mei Lin held the corpse hugging wood in his hand, and a faint warm aura emanated from it.

When I got back to my quarters, I heard a snoring sound before I could go inside.

Pang Guang slept soundly, and Shen Yanfei lay on the bed against the door.

She covered her head with the quilt, which trembled slightly.

Her illness happened again, and it was very uncomfortable when this disease attacked, which is why Director Liang prescribed so many painkillers to her.

Mei Lin carefully lifted the quilt.

Shen Yanfei was sweating profusely and fell inside, biting the quilt with her teeth, and the quilt was bitten by her.

Sweat ran down his head, and his body was wet with sweat.

Although she suffered unspeakable pain, she still didn't say a word, just raised her head and glanced at Mei Lin.

Without further ado, we have to do it quickly.

To Mei Lin, she felt that her time was running out.

Mei Lin took the corpse and hugged the wood to the outside of the shed.

Use a carpentry knife to carefully peel off the outer skin of the corpse hugging wood.

Master said that what really works is inside that fist-sized knot.

Although the skin of the corpse hugging wood is pimpled, the wood inside is very delicate and lilac.

The darker it became, and finally it turned blood red.

A crystal-like crystal peeks out from within.

Merlin shaved off all the wood around it.

Only then did it become clear that the fist-sized crystal was like a Buddha statue meditating cross-legged.

Even the facial features on his head are very clear, Mei Lin has never seen such a strange thing.

It's just that the other two-flavor herbs haven't been bought yet, so you can't use it for the time being.

He used a carpentry knife to scrape some debris from the crystals, and then boiled them into water for Shen Yanfei to drink.

In just ten minutes, Shen Yanfei's pain was reduced a lot.

She looked at Mei Lin gratefully, but didn't say anything.

Still lying on the bed with his head covered, his breathing became even after a while, and he was probably asleep.

Mei Lin's hanging heart was put in her stomach safely.

The next morning, just after dawn, he left the construction site and went to the city.

I walked through several pharmacies to find the right ginseng and astragalus.

When he returned to the shed with them, Pang Guang had already gone to work.

Mei Lin used a special casserole when boiling herbs in his hometown, but there was no such thing on the construction site.

He found a large porcelain bowl and lit a fire underneath.

And put the crystals and two medicinal herbs in the corpse hugging wood.

The liquid medicine was bubbling and bubbling, and a very strange smell came to my face, which was a very special fragrance.

Smelling the smell of medicine, Shen Yanfei also had a spirit and walked out of the shed.

Squatting in front of Mei Lin, her eyes looked at him unblinkingly, as if she had something to say to him.

But he never said it.

Mei Lin's attention was focused on the tumbling liquid, and the grasp of the heat was very important, otherwise the previous efforts would be wasted.

Watch as the crystals gradually melt into a viscous liquid and melt into the water.

After more than an hour, the water in the large bowl was almost dry.

Mei Lin just took it aside.

When it had cooled down completely, he clumped the viscous liquid into a pill.

Then hand it to Shen Yanfei and tell her, take it down, and your illness will be cured!

Looking at the pill the size of a ping-pong ball, Shen Yanfei's eyes were full of excitement.

She whispered to Mei Lin, I will definitely repay you!

Mei Lin smiled bitterly and said, it doesn't matter if you repay it or not, as long as your body can get better, Director Liang doesn't let me go to the toilet.

Shen Yanfei didn't speak, she opened her mouth and swallowed the pill.

Mei Lin asked her to go back to the shed to rest, and she hurried to the construction site to work.

Because he has been delayed for half a day, Lao Gao will definitely be unhappy.

When I arrived at the construction site, I saw Lao Gao standing there with his hands behind his back.

Seeing him coming over, Lao Gao said with a calm face, "Do you regard this place as your home?"

If you want to come, if you can't come, you won't come!

I'm going to deduct two days' wages from you, so you don't have to do it again next time!" ”

Mei Lin didn't speak, Lao Gao was very harsh on them, and always tried his best to deduct their wages.

This was already expected by him.

Because the work was not finished, Mei Lin finished eating at noon and returned to the construction site to continue working.

He had always been worried about Shen Yanfei and didn't know how effective the pill was.

He didn't leave the construction site until it was dark, and hurried back to the shed.

To his surprise, Shen Yanfei's figure had disappeared.

The quilt on the bed was neatly folded.

Mei Lin searched for a while, but she couldn't find her.

Later, I heard the uncle who guarded the door say that before dark, Shen Yanfei left.

Mei Lin was very puzzled, I don't know why she didn't say goodbye, didn't the pill work?

Shen Yanfei left for more than an hour, and it was impossible to catch up with her.

Mei Lin had to go back, and tomorrow was the date agreed with Director Liang.

Now that Shen Yanfei has left, it seems that the toilet must be cleaned in the past three days, and it is inevitable that she will be ridiculed by the other party.

Seeing that his face was not very good-looking, Pang Guang said, "Your friend is really not particular, you have helped her so much."

She left without a word. ”

Mei Lin said that she might have something unspeakable.

He walked over to the bed where Shen Yanfei lived, and there was a black poker-like thing on the bed.
