Chapter 18: The Female Corpse Is Coming
Both parents are honest rural people and are very disciplined. In the countryside, such a thing as life-saving grace must be recognized as a relative, and it is necessary to honor each other for a lifetime, including providing for the elderly, otherwise it will be pointed at by others and will not be able to raise its head for the rest of its life.
Because of this, my parents used to take me to see my godmother every year, and once I resisted, it was a violent beating, that is, I went to college, my wings were hard, and I went to other places, so they couldn't control it, but every year the two of them would still bring gifts to see the godmother respectfully.
But now that I said I was going to see my godmother, my parents would object, even if it wasn't the style of the two of them, something must have happened.
The father frowned and smoked a cigarette, and after smoking in one breath, he spoke: "Your godmother is sick, and I won't let you go, because I'm afraid that something will happen to you, anyway, we will send her to the end when she leaves, you are still young, don't get involved in this matter." β
My father's words seemed to be an understatement, but I sensed a hint of something extraordinary in themβthe godmother's illness was so dangerous that anyone who visited her would have an accident, and even when she was sent to her death, she would also have an accident, so I was not allowed to get involved.
My parents are here to protect me, but they don't know that my life is in danger now, and the only hope is in my godmother, and I have to see her.
I insisted on going to see my godmother, but my parents couldn't resist it, so I had to agree, Yuan Ling also wanted to follow, but my mother stopped her, saying that it was not in accordance with the rules, and she could only give up.
My father rode the family's broken motorcycle to take me to the village where my grandmother's house was located, and after going to my grandmother's house to walk past relatives, we went to the broken brick kiln where my godmother lived at the entrance of the village.
Before I walked to the brick kiln, I smelled a strong stench, even though my father had explained it to me on the road before, but when I smelled this smell, I still couldn't help but feel nauseated, and almost vomited.
Seriously, I've never smelled such a stinky smell every day when I see a corpse as an undertaker, which makes me worry about whether my godmother is still alive.
But when I stopped retching and straightened up, I saw that there was another person in front of the door of the broken brick kiln, and she was tightly wrapped, leaving only two eyes outside, and the eyes were so kind and so familiar, I couldn't help but feel sour, and blurted out: "Godmother." β
The godmother didn't let us in, she moved three ponies out and beckoned me and my dad to sit down on the threshing floor in front of the brick kiln, without pouring tea or snacks.
Dad was a taciturn person, but at the moment he was just frowning and smoking a cigarette, and my godmother looked at me carefully and said, "It's been six years, and I've grown into a young man." β
I couldn't help but feel sour, and hurriedly asked, "Godmother, how are you doing?" β
"What else? It's all old bones, and it's not unusual to get sick. But you, why did you suddenly come to see me? Did you encounter any difficulties? β
I suddenly blushed - I have avoided seeing my godmother for six years, and now I only thought of coming to the door when something happened, not to mention that my godmother is still sick.
The fear of death and the instinct to survive still prevailed, and after hesitating for a moment, I decided to speak, but as soon as I opened my mouth to say two words, I was interrupted by the godmother raising her hand, and the godmother turned her head to look at my father: "Wenjin, you don't feel comfortable sitting here, why don't you go out and take a walk." β
"Medium." My dad looked at me, smoked a cigarette and left.
After watching her father walk away, the godmother turned her head and asked in a serious tone, "Ji Zang, you just said that you no longer work in the hospital?" β
"Well, I ...... was fired from the clinic due to a medical accident, and it has been a year since he worked as an undertaker in a funeral home. β
I almost gritted my teeth and squeezed out this sentence, when the mortuary, I not only hid it from Sasha, but also from my family, who still think that I work in the hospital and am a doctor who saves lives.
The godmother trembled suddenly, stretched out her thin hand, and began to pinch it quickly, still reciting words in her mouth, and after a while, her body shook suddenly, lifted the black cloth covering her face, and actually spit out a mouthful of black blood to the ground.
The moment I lifted the black cloth, I saw the face of the godmother, she used to have sarcomas the size of peanuts hanging on her face, although they were terrible but not disgusting, but at this moment those sarcomas have all turned into sores with yellow pus, and people can't stop nauseating and nauseating at a glance.
After the godmother spit out the mouthful of black blood, she gasped weakly for a long time, and muttered to herself: "No wonder, no wonder, I thought that my abscess was the backlash of helping others, but I didn't expect it to be on you, I should have thought of it a long time ago." β
I was confused and couldn't help asking, "Godmother, what's going on?" Is your illness related to me? β
The godmother waved her hand and said in a stern tone: "You don't care about this, continue to talk about your affairs, and you can't leave a single detail behind." β
The godmother never spoke to me in such a tone, my heart couldn't help but panic, and I quickly told everything I had encountered honestly, and when the godmother heard that I had suffered an evil ritual and that there was an extra flower mark on my arm, her thin hands were clenched tightly, and her palms were cut by her nails, and blood flowed out.
I didn't dare to come out, and after quickly telling everything about it, I said cautiously: "Godmother, can I still be saved?" β
"Stick your arm out and I'll see." The godmother said in a slightly hoarse voice.
I quickly rolled up my sleeves and showed the mark on my left arm, and the godmother reached out and grabbed my arm, her hand was extremely cold, her skin was dry and rough, and she grabbed my arm, and suddenly felt a tingling sensation.
The godmother carefully looked at the flower mark on my arm, but my attention was drawn to the scene behind her veil.
She didn't cover her face towel after vomiting blood just now, revealing a piece. At this moment, the sarcoma abscesses on her face were dripping yellow pus.
When the pus fell to the ground, it quickly turned black and smelly, causing the flies to fly and lick them, but as soon as the flies ate them, they were like poisoned, and they quickly fluttered their wings and died.
I was so frightened that I felt that all the things in my stomach ran to my throat, and I would vomit as long as I couldn't help it, and I finally understood why my parents didn't want me to come over to see my godmother.
Such a terrifying situation, not to mention ordinary people, even if the doctor sees it, he will be scared out of the problem, except for the virulent infectious disease, there is probably no other explanation.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that the left arm that was being held by the godmother also itched, and I was really worried that those pustules would crawl down the godmother's hand and climb on my body.
Just as I was hesitating whether to withdraw my arm, the godmother suddenly let go of my arm and said in an unquestioning voice, "Come in with me, and I'll see if I can give you this mark." β
I followed the godmother into the brick kiln, and found that the brick kiln had changed a lot from my memory, and a room-sized space was dug out in the back, but there were two coffins side by side - the godmother was alone, even if she prepared longevity materials for herself, it should be a mouthful, and who was the extra mouthful?
After the godmother entered the house, she began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find her bottles and cans, and soon they were all over the place.
Suddenly, there was a night owl's cry from the threshing floor outside, and the godmother's body suddenly froze in place, and then she quickly said to me: "Ji Zang, quickly hide in the coffin, the one on the left." β
"Huh?!" I'm a little confused, why should I be in the coffin?
"Hurry up!" The godmother's voice was sharp and eager, and I was so excited that I quickly opened the lid of the coffin and climbed in.
The godmother quickly closed the lid of the coffin: "No matter what happens, you are not allowed to come out." β
At this time, no matter how stupid I was, I knew that something must have happened, so I quickly curled up honestly and didn't dare to make a sound.
There were two air holes on the plate at the head of the coffin, and the light from the outside came in, and I held my breath and quietly peeked out. I saw the godmother holding a cane tightly, facing the mouth of the brick kiln like a great enemy.
"Old woman, you didn't expect that, did you?! Do you really think you can fool us with those little tricks of yours? β
There was a shrill laugh from outside the brick kiln, and a figure slowly walked in.
When I saw the figure, my hairs stood on end, and the man was wearing a green dress embroidered with a flower on it, and it was the ghostly female corpse.
