Chapter 2: Two Corpses
I was stunned.
Narcissus is my daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, and I naturally want to go to guard her spirit, but as soon as I think of the raised corners of her mouth that I saw before I fainted, I thought from the bottom of my heart and asked me to go to the guard, and in the middle of the night, Narcissus's corpse will not cheat the corpse.
Although I was very worried and scared in my heart, but my grandfather said so, what else can I do, I have already made a taboo in order to retrieve the corpse, is it possible to come to someone to take tea at this time, so I had to agree.
When I arrived at Huang's house, I found that the gate and the courtyard had been hung with white flags, and a dark coffin was parked on the wooden bed, with a photo of Narcissus and white ash on the head of the coffin, and a brazier on the bottom, which was used to burn paper.
When the old yellow head saw me coming, he hurriedly moved the burning paper prepared in advance to the side of the brazier, and then said some warm words to me and left.
Since ancient times, there is a rule in the village that it only takes one day to keep the spirit, and everyone else must leave that night except for the person who keeps the spirit, even if it is their own home, so Lao Huangtou and his wife went to someone else's house to spend the night.
And the people who keep the soul start from the dark and keep burning paper, hoping that the soul of the deceased will inevitably encounter all kinds of difficulties from the imps when they reach the underworld, and the money is used to buy off those imps, so of course the more the better.
On the other hand, it means that the deceased walks all the way, and money is paved the way to the underworld, if it is broken halfway, the deceased will not be able to find the way, so he will return to the world and become a lonely ghost.
It was dark not long after the old yellow head left, so I sat on the ground and began to burn the paper in front of the coffin, and I kept looking down and refilling the paper in the brazier, and my eyes kept staring at the picture of Narcissus, thinking back to the time I had spent with her, and the corners of my eyes moistened again.
I kept looking at the photo and immersed in memories, and when I came to my senses, I realized that the brazier in front of me didn't know when it was extinguished.
At that time, I was in a heart, thinking how to let the brazier go out, and hurriedly lit the burning paper again and put it into the brazier, looking at the burning paper in the brazier, my heart has been beating, and I don't know if I can continue this road to the underworld.
Squeak ......
The sound was soft, but it sounded so harsh in the silence of the night, and it sounded like a fingernail cutting through a plank from the coffin where Narcissus was lying.
I thought it was just the sound of a wooden coffin cracking, but when the second sound sounded, I saw the lid of the coffin move.
As the lid of the coffin moved, I jumped up from the ground, and my whole body began to tremble involuntarily, and the burning paper in my hand had been crushed by me.
What happened in front of me at this moment was so weird, even if it was my own father, I couldn't continue to stay, I immediately turned around and ran outside the yard, seeing that I had reached the far gate, I tried my best to jump out of the courtyard gate with a big stride, I thought I jumped out, but when I landed, I found that I was still in the yard, the courtyard gate was in front of my eyes, and the difference was that the courtyard gate was closed by someone I didn't know who closed it.
Syllable...... Wow......
The lid of the coffin suddenly flew out and hit the courtyard wall next to it and shattered into several pieces, and the narcissus lying in the coffin sat up from the coffin at once......
At this moment, Narcissus stared at me with a pair of eyes, and suddenly the corners of her mouth suddenly rose, and there was a strange and strange arc, and then she suddenly stretched out her hands and grabbed the edge of the coffin, and jumped out of the coffin with a sudden bang, and landed right in front of me.
Corpse fraud, in my impression that the body of the person who cheated the corpse is stiff, and the movement is slow, but the narcissus in front of her is not like this, she is agile and moves quickly, and she does not look stiff at all.
Even after falling to the ground, he was in a posture of landing on all fours, feeling like an animal, a pair of dark green eyes were faintly glowing, the teeth in his mouth were also sharp, and a long tongue like a snake hyacinth shrugged at the side of his mouth, where is it still a narcissus, it is clearly a monster, and the photo next to it is in stark contrast.
After the narcissus landed, she crawled straight to me, and I rushed straight to the courtyard gate in fright, planning to try again, hoping to open the courtyard gate and rush out.
My hands clutched the courtyard gate and shook it desperately, so that a piece of wood on it was broken off by me, but the courtyard door just couldn't be opened, so I had no choice but to go around the yard and start a race with the narcissus.
With the strength of breastfeeding, it is only a distance from one after the other, as long as I am a little slower, she will be chased and knocked down, as far as Narcissus is now, she does not think I eat as a supper, so at the moment when my body is about to reach the limit, my body turns a step into the next room, and casually closes the door and inserts the latch.
As soon as I thought I could catch my breath, the door was slammed violently, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly leaned against the door with my body, bearing the impact again and again.
In a few clicks, the latch on the door was already loose, and it was very likely that in a few seconds she would break down the door, and I would not be caught in an urn by then, and I was anxious to think of this.
I inadvertently saw the harpoon hanging on the wall next to me, (the people by the Yellow River usually fish for a living, so every family has it) At that time, I couldn't care so much, I immediately left the door, jumped to the wall with an arrow, and reached out and took the three-edged harpoon from the wall.
can't dodge, it seems that it can only be a fight, "Narcissus, I'm sorry!" ”
I turned in the direction of the door, holding my harpoon in my hand, waiting for Narcissus to break in, but to my bewilderment, there was a sudden silence outside the door, and there was no sound for a long time, and after a while it was still quiet.
I thought that Narcissus might have given up and left, so I boldly opened the door, looked out of sight of Narcissus, and walked out of the house with a harpoon in hand.
After leaving the house, I looked around, there was no shadow of a narcissus in the yard, the courtyard door was still closed, could it be that she jumped out of the wall?
At that time, I exhaled a long breath, and my tense nerves slowly relaxed, and suddenly I felt an itch in my ear, so I reached out to grab it, and I casually touched a wet and slimy thing.
I looked back at it strangely, and I gasped when I turned around, and she hadn't left at all, but was now falling on the eaves of the doorway, staring at me, and the wet and slimy thing was her tongue.
"Ah...... Uh......"
I was just about to shout, but the narcissus's tongue immediately wrapped around my neck and dragged me off the ground, and immediately I felt a feeling of suffocation, and many stars appeared in front of me.
As I was dragged off the ground, Narcissus's hands grabbed my shoulders on both sides, and the nails of her hands were deeply embedded in my skin, and my tears came out of pain, and I wanted to scream loudly, but I couldn't scream.
I tried to tear it with my hands, but I realized that I was still holding the harpoon in my hand, and I couldn't care about it anymore, so I lifted the harpoon and stabbed it at the narcissus.
With a terrible scream coming out of the mouth of the narcissus, I fell out of mid-air, and as soon as I landed, I coughed violently with one hand around my neck, and at the same time the narcissus fell from the eaves.
Both of my shoulders were injured, but the narcissus was not lightly injured, and I directly inserted her stomach with this harpoon, and I don't know if she hurts if the wound is so big.
Unlike me, the blood I shed is red, but the blood that flows out of the daffodil's wound is transparent, how can people shed this color of blood, even if it is a dead person, it is impossible, this ...... It's clearly water!
As Narcissus's body was stabbed by me, I found more and more that her skin began to slowly wrinkle, and in a blink of an eye, a young girl became an eighty-year-old woman, this scene is really terrifying.
I saw that the narcissus suddenly reached out and grabbed the crumpled skin on her body, and with a roar, she pulled her hands to the sides violently, and actually ripped off the skin on her body.
As she tore the skin off her body one by one, I slowly noticed that the narcissus in front of me was less and less human.
My body is wet and fluffy, how can it be so similar to the skin hanging on the wall in my house, what kind of skin is it?
That's right! It's a water monkey!
