Forty-eighth: The corpse at the bottom of the well
"I can't see that you look like you're cheating money, and there are still a lot of magic weapons left by the older generation." Jian Jue also saw a corpse net hanging on the wall.
Zhang Tianshi wanted to blow himself up, "What do you say?" You don't go to the street to inquire about the name of my old man, when there were zombies at Tianjin Railway Station, people were panicked, didn't you also invite my old man to settle down? ”
"Your old man?"
"Exactly, the twelfth generation true disciple Zhang Taowei, the thirteenth generation below. If it weren't for the fact that you were peers, I wouldn't have reported myself. Zhang Tianshi raised his head, lowered his head again, and looked at Qin Zitao, "This is the little apprentice with you?" Not bad. ”
Qin Zitao looked at him, "Lao Tzu is also a faction of his own, and he doesn't have any masters." ”
"Don't call yourself Lao Tzu in front of people from other provinces!" Jian Jue took out the side of the elders to educate Qin Zitao, "Otherwise, people will think that you are scolding." ”
Zhang Tianshi didn't care, but asked Li Zhonglou with great interest where they came from and where they were going. "You can borrow it, but you have to tell me, what is this for?"
"Thirteenth Lane Small Western-style Building," Li Zhongyan glanced at him, "Have you heard of it?" ”
Zhang Tianshi pursed his lips, held his hands together, and shook his head with an embarrassed smile, "I haven't heard of it, I can't help it, you put your ID card and important things on me here, and borrow your own magic weapon." A thousand a day, outdated and not waiting. ”
"Why don't you grab it?" Jian Jue pointed at him and said.
"I'm willing to take my family heirlooms, and you don't talk about it?" Zhang Tianshi closed his eyes and laughed twice.
Li Zhonglou motioned to Jian to stop talking, "The money is for you, I borrowed the things." After speaking, he counted out ten bills, took out an ID card, and slapped it on the table, "Don't regret it." ”
Zhang Tianshi hurriedly put the money away, "No, no, whoever regrets it is the grandson!" You do it yourself, I don't bother you to pick things! He almost laughed badly, his father left such a push of broken copper and iron and was worried that there was no place to pile it, and now, these ancestral things have also begun to make money!
Li Zhonglou and the others looked around for something, and saw that there was also a bronze coin, which was more than two hundred years old. As soon as he said that he wanted to borrow the bronze money and leave, Zhang Tianshi was asking for the price again, this time Jian Jue and Qin Zitao could no longer let Li Zhonglou advance money, and the two brothers rushed to more than 1,000 and gave it to Zhang Tianshi.
Zhang Tianshi counted the money and took off his gossip bag, "It seems that the ancestor still hasn't treated his descendants badly!" If you go slowly, you won't send it, and if you don't return it before dark, you will increase the price. By the way, you two ID cards are also left for me, don't be fake, right? ”
"You just eat hard." Jian Jue said helplessly, "I really don't know how long you can eat." ”
After taking the ID cards of the two of them, Zhang Tianshi smiled, smiling very uncomfortably, just grinning dryly, without the kind of smile. "It's as long as you can eat."
Seeing the three of them leave, Zhang Tianshi felt quiet, and for the first time, it was so quiet that he sat weakly on the sofa, and he wanted to think about something for his future. "Little Western-style Building...," Zhang Tianshi himself pronounced the name, "this is not the ...... ”
The three of them returned to the small western-style building, they had a lot of magic weapons in their bags, but it was heavy, and everyone quickly put down their bags when they returned to the small western-style building, rubbing their shoulders and beating their backs.
Qin Zitao's bag was the heaviest on his back, because he was carrying several loops of hemp rope and miscellaneous props.
"I said that Xiao Tao is better at working as a coolie, and he was responsible for carrying things when he went to rob the tomb with his grandfather hahahaha." Jian Jie's only remaining strength was used to laugh at Xiaotao.
Qin Zitao rested for a while, didn't say anything, and glanced at Jian Jie.
The three of them were still resting, and there were some voices outside the door, and it seemed that someone was coming. Jane was shocked, could it be that the owner of the house was here? But it was no one else, but Yu Xingyang.
Tomorrow walked in and smiled, "Such a big formation?" How many brothers? Prepare to catch ghosts. ”
"Why are you here?" Jian Jue just laughed.
"Look at you catching ghosts, why, don't you let you visit?" Tomorrow when he said this, Yu Xingyang behind him didn't say a word, smiled politely, and looked at them.
Jian Jue was inexplicably uncomfortable with Xingyang. Even if there is no conflict with him, it is intuitively uncomfortable.
"You can come and see, there's a corpse in the well in the backyard." Li Zhonglou said, pointing to the back, "I have no opinion, I am not responsible for something." ”
"Let's go, let's go, Brother Li." Jian Jue shook his head, "Let's hurry up, Zitao, and take a look at the yellow calendar." ”
"Oh, calculate, it's easy to move the grave today, it's easy to be buried, don't worry. Tomorrow is not a good thing. Qin Zitao made an OK gesture.
They walked to the patio and opened the backyard door, still smelling like that.
Fortunately, Jian Jue was prepared and wore an anti-smog filter mask, "I really don't know why they closed that well." ”
"Seeing that this room was added later, I should be afraid that the corpse at the bottom of the well will shine on the moonlight." Li Zhonglou looked at it, "But I don't know who did it." ”
"Doesn't it mean that he knows that there are corpses at the bottom of the well? If you don't deal with it and don't call the police, weirdos. Qin Zitao said.
Jian Du patted him, "You are so young, everyone nowadays is afraid of getting into trouble." ”
"You're not afraid, don't pretend." Qin Zitao looked Jian Du up and down and said, "You like to deliberately cause trouble." ”
They all put on masks, turned on flashlights, and slipped into them one by one.
Seeing the well, because it was daytime, they wanted to tear down the roof again. Although the roof can block the moonlight, it also prevents the intake of sunlight, causing the corpse qi at the bottom of the well to not dissipate for a long time, which is also the reason why the corpse becomes stiff.
Li Zhonglou glanced at the bottom of the well, and really couldn't think of any other way to go to the bottom of the well, so he proposed: "Find a rope, I'll go down and have a look first." ”
"No kidding, it's dangerous."
"It's broad daylight, and I won't cheat corpses. You look where there is a fixed rope, tie it tightly. Li Zhonglou had already decided, and Jian decided to think about it, "The bottom of the well is so wide, I'll go down with you and take care of each other." ”
When they saw that the roof was measured empty, they tied up a thick piece of twine, tied it to a stone found outside, and threw it down to see the depth.
With a "plop", the stone fell into the water.
They scooped up the stone and estimated the length of the rope, which was not very deep, in fact, eight or nine meters deep, but they just couldn't see the situation clearly with a flashlight.
Tomorrow he also agreed to help with the rope on it, "Do you want to contact Sister Bailing?" Something happened to someone, and someone was outside to take care of it. ”
"No, no, An Yuxuan knows, don't worry, there are people outside," Jian Jue touched his chin, "Since An Yuxuan knows, it is estimated that Ran Qin will also know." Hearing this, Li Zhonglou looked up and was stunned for a while.
Li Zhonglou was in a corner of the room, lighting four incense sticks. The incense is burning steadily, and it is burning little by little.
"It's fine now." Li Zhonglou was about to go down to the well to see. "Hey, Brother Li, why don't you open the roof, there is no light, and it is also dangerous." Jian Jue said, "I'm afraid of what if..." ”
Qin Zitao approached Jian Du and sniffed him, "Strange, you don't have the smell of living creatures on you, what are you afraid of?" ”
"Don't come up and smell it!" Jian Jue pushed Qin Zitao away in disgust.
Qin Zitao's living creature specifically refers to the smell of a black cat, the corpse cannot be touched, and it will cheat the corpse if it is touched. In fact, sometimes, the palace is still a folk domestic black cat, like a domestic dog, will bring wealth and protection. I'm afraid of black cats running around in the wild. There is yin energy in the body.
Speaking of the smell of living things, Jian Jue smelled a little bit nervously, but unfortunately it disappeared later. Li Zhonglou's waist had been tied to the rope, and the rope on the other side was also thrown down, two together, one on his body and one for climbing the well.
Li Zhonglou and Jian Du together, Li Zhonglou went down the well first, and after Jian Du, the two went up and down.
Yu Xingyang said with a smile on the face of tomorrow, "Do you say they are real or fake?" ”
Tomorrow will concentrate on pulling the rope, looking at the bottom of the well a little nervously, not caring what Yu Xingyang says, "Hold it well, so that others don't fall." ”
Yu Xingyang asked Qin Zitao again, "Little brother, have you learned the real Maoshan technique?" ”
"Whatever you do, if you don't believe it, you can go back to sleep."
"I believe it, I believe it, it's such a big temper, little brother." Yu Xingyang looked at Qin Zitao and smiled. Qin Zitao then said: "I'm sorry, if I didn't sleep well, I had a big temper." ”
"Forget it, it's okay, hey, what's next?" Yu Xingyang looked down at the well, and there was a source of light from the well, which was shaking.
Jian Jue shouted to Qin Zitao in the well: "Xiao Tao, take care of the incense burned, and call us whenever there is a problem!" Don't play with your phone. Qin Zitao took his mobile phone and called a flashlight and said, "I saw you!" How do you feel down there? ”
"Very well, would you like to come down and feel it too?" Jane yelled angrily.
Li Zhonglou saw that there was already water below, so he raised his head and said to Jian Jie, "Jian Jie, be careful, you can already see the water." ”
Jian Jue also bowed his head, "Ah, if it's true, it can keep the corpse from decaying in the water, and it is also capable." ”
The two of them stood on one side, their feet on the fallen bricks in the well, and their backs against the wall of the well, barely able to stand on their heels. Jian Jue stirred it with his foot in the water, half of his leg poked in, and there was still nothing. "Is there really a corpse in this water? Brother Li? ”
Li Zhonglou took out a blank piece of paper on his body, which was not like rune paper but had old workmanship, not ordinary white A4 paper. He cut his own blood with a knife, and now wrote a talisman, commanding as the law, hasty as the law, and sealing it with one hand, and wrapping a pebble and a small straw man around the talisman.
"Draw it out." Li Zhonglou said and threw the talisman down.
It was the special paper used for the judge's book of the king of Hades in the drama of the Ghost God Temple of Literature of the older generation. According to folk legends, the names of living people should not be written on that piece of paper, because it is a bookkeeping that is used by black and white impermanence and ghosts.
Throwing it down for a while, there was only the sound of empty water paddling in his ears, and the two of them were motionless at the bottom of the well, but Jian Jue felt very uncomfortable, he frowned, and he couldn't hold on a little. His hand grasped the hemp rope, but it was sharpened.
The bottom of the well was quieter than above, and the atmosphere was heavy, and no one spoke.
Suddenly, bursts of bubbles bubbled up at the bottom of the well, and the gurgling sound seemed to boil at the bottom of the well, forcing the two to lift their feet. Jian Jue, in particular, involuntarily climbed up.
Something is coming up at a rapid pace!
After a while, there was a wave on the surface of the water, and a head floated straight out.
Then came the screams of Jian Jue. Li Zhonglou hurriedly covered his mouth and reminded: "Don't gasp for breath, breathe lightly, look at his hair!" Don't let him get popular! ”
Jian Du nodded, and he saw that the well water was full of hair, long and black, almost occupying the entire bottom of the well, and Jian Jie's feet were full of black hair soaked in the water, full of it, submerging the head.
"You go up a little bit, Jian Jue!"
"Okay, you tie it up, by the way, can you catch him?" Jian Jue looked at Yishui's hair, a little worried, and a little at a loss.
Li Zhonglou reached down and fished out a green hand with long nails.
"Wow, good luck, give it to me!" Jian Jue held the green hand in his hand, and with all his strength, the whole person almost sank. I felt that the corpse was about to weigh a thousand pounds, and Jian had no choice, the hair in the water was very heavy.
Li Zhonglou almost gritted his teeth and dragged half of the corpse's body out of the water, Jian Jue brushed his hair away with him, and saw that it was indeed a high pointed nose, and it seemed that it was indeed a foreigner.
They passed the rope under the body, circled it several times, tied it firmly, and shouted to throw a few more ropes down from above. Qin Zitao looked at the incense in the corner of the wall, confirmed that there was no problem, and continued to throw a few ropes down, and the other end was fixed on the beam.
"Okay, the corpse seems to be fine, and there is less danger of swindling the corpse." Li Zhonglou was relieved, this hemp rope has been used by Zhang Tianshi's family for several generations, and a few knots that have been broken should be continued with a lock rope.
Jian Jue and the others climbed out of the well, their backs ached, and Jian Jie's pants were also wet, which was very uncomfortable. As soon as the two of them came ashore, they instantly felt clear and their senses were different.
"Go ashore, my mother, Brother Li, thank you for your hard work." Jian Jue realized that Li Zhonglou was his employer, and he even followed them to do coolies, "If Xiao Tao is older, he can help me." ”
Qin Zitao let out a strange "um", "What's the matter with me?" ”
"Pull him up, pull him up." Jian Jue said this, and tomorrow and Yu Xingyang hesitated, "Just a few of us?" ”
"Look at the situation," Li Zhonglou panted as he thrust his waist on the side, he frowned tightly, feeling that it was difficult to deal with, "Alas, we can't pull him, do you have any tools?" It's like a crane for lifting a coffin. ”
"Don't think about it, Brother Li, it's already good that I can carry so many ropes, and then carry a crane... Are you a truck for me? Qin Zitao waved his hand and said it was impossible.
Li Zhonglou eased up, and he said to try it directly, it would be best if he could pull it. Tomorrow is surprised, "I'll go, there really is a corpse." Hey, let's call the police, okay? Is the body decomposing? Isn't it scary? ”
"No, it's not rotting." Jian Jue estimated the time, there have been more than 70 years of incorruptible and rigid corpses, if you accidentally cheat the corpse, you will really not be able to do it in a few years, and your life may be in danger.
Li Zhonglou laughed and shook his head, "Call the police?" How do you call the police? It's not the person we killed, let's fish it out and call the police, and when we finish spending it, it's up to you to send him to Pagoda Mountain or a mass grave for cremation. Okay, right? ”
So a few people began to drag the rope, and the five of them pulled together, but they could only slowly drag it up little by little. Halfway through, someone has run out of strength, and the writer will sit in front of the computer every day tomorrow, and this time he will flash his waist.
"I'm dying! Yes! Tomorrow cried out in pain and twisted his waist.
"Work hard, no axle is a bit of a strain!"
They asked Qin Zitao to go over, and when they saw that the corpse was about to go, they grabbed him.
Qin Zitao let go of his hand, and one less person made them have to work harder to barely support it. Qin Zitao had already seen the corpse, and he was happy first, so that everyone could relax. Then I was shocked, how could this corpse be wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty? Not a foreigner?
Qin Zitao grabbed the corpse's arm and dragged it out, "Come here and carry it!" ”
Li Zhonglou turned his head at Jian Jie, Jian Jue let go and ran over, raising his other arm, and the two of them were also covered with hair, covering their faces.
In the end, even Li Zhonglou ran over and let out a miserable scream tomorrow.
They completely grabbed the upper body of the corpse, Li Zhonglou grabbed the rope, and as soon as he mentioned it, he cooperated to lift the corpse out. Then the hair is fished out in handfuls.
Finally, the body was fished out of the bottom of the well.
