Chapter 045: Dry Corpse

The gloomy wooden coffin was still resting in the outhouse, and the corpse eaters on the ground were gone, except for a pile of wood chips.

Qiao Ke'er looked at the coffin from a distance, and unconsciously thought of the dry and disgusting hands in the nightmare, and now she still felt an itch on the back of her neck, and a chill down her spine.

She hesitated for a moment, and slowly walked towards the coffin......

Overnight, the male corpse in the coffin looked like it was dehydrated, and only a skinny skeleton remained. The sunken eye sockets are full of rotting pus, and there are some white particles in the eyeballs, like ...... Eggs.

Qiao Ke'er frowned, raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose and was about to leave Yizhuang, when she just went out and met the old village chief who came in a hurry around the corner.

When the old village chief heard the news, he immediately rushed over, and felt a little guilty when he saw that the old man Li was injured, if the body had been burned earlier, this kind of thing would not have happened.

"Alas......" The old village chief looked at the dried corpse in the coffin, sighed and said, "That's it, burn the corpse."

A few men who had come with the old village chief set up a fire on the hillside behind Yizhuang and burned the dried corpse along with the gloomy wooden coffin.

Looking at the coffin that slowly turned into a pile of charcoal, Qiao Keer felt a little uneasy in her heart. Is it okay to burn the dried corpse...... She always felt that it was not that simple.

"Clean up here, let's go back first." After the old village chief finished explaining, he called Qiao Keer aside. "Girl Qiao, come over here."

"Village Chief, what's the matter?"

"That ......" the old village chief rubbed his hands, and seemed to be a little difficult to speak. Lao Li's injury...... Don't tell the public, now the body is burned, and the matter is settled. If only ......"

"Don't worry, I know." Qiao Ke'er nodded, she had already guessed the old village chief's thoughts. So many things happened yesterday when he insisted on not burning the coffin, and if others knew about it, his face as the village chief would not look good.

"Good, that's good. Since there's nothing going on here, I'll go back first. The old village chief glanced back at the fire and walked away with his cane.

Aunt Liu's granddaughter's body was buried on the seventh day, and nothing strange happened at home. The ancient well at the entrance of the village was sealed with a stone tablet, and Laohuai Village returned to its previous calm, and it seemed that everything was solved.

Qiao Ke'er didn't dream of the disgusting male corpse anymore, and when she returned to Jiangcheng, everything was as usual, and she had already left the corpse behind.

……

Zhang Tingting worked overtime in the company and came back late these days. Qiao Keer played a game for a while, went into the bathroom and took a hot shower and went to bed, probably too tired to fall asleep with a pillow.

However, this sleep was not peaceful.

In the middle of the night, the residents upstairs didn't know what they were doing, and there was a constant buzzing noise, and the floor was shaking.

Qiao Keer was woken up, opened her eyes and looked at the alarm clock at the bedside...... It was only past three o'clock in the morning, and she instantly had the urge to burst into foul language!

"Grunt~" At this time, the stomach was still ringing out of place, which was really unpleasant!

Forget it, fill your stomach first and then go to the residents upstairs, and you can't let people sleep in the middle of the night?

Qiao Keer got up from the bed, walked into the kitchen in a daze, and searched around only to find a bucket of instant noodles, which could only fill his stomach.

Fortunately, there is still a ham sausage in the refrigerator, which can be added to the meal, and it can be regarded as a medium version of instant noodles.

Qiao Keer tore open the seasoning bag, poured boiling water and sealed it, turned on the TV, sat on the sofa, and randomly selected a news channel.
