Chapter 3 Have You Ever Tasted Greed?
Outside the gate of the dark compound, a Taoist priest entered, and judging from the changes in the expressions of many diners, Xu Yunge suddenly realized that the situation was not good: on occasions such as funerals, vigils, and funerals, Taoist priests, gentlemen, and mages were commanders with recognized judgment and the highest right to speak.
For Xu Yunge, death has gradually become a little familiar, so familiar that when he has nothing to do, he will search for what to do with the funeral. In terms of white customs, the Chinese people are conservative. But if you do anything, you must ask Mr. for instructions, otherwise you will rush to the taboo and cause an accident, which will cause bad luck at least and endless disasters to the family.
Thinking of this, Xu Yunge also hid his suspicions, and his face pretended to be in awe. Although the Taoist priest's clothes are mediocre, his body and footsteps do not have the walking strength of a person who practices martial arts and cultivates, looking at the Taoist chief's pair of vain and chaotic eyes, he is very ghostly, how can he have the slightest look of a Taoist master? But the owner of this place still treats him as a distinguished guest. As long as this Taoist leader subjectively thinks that no one is suitable to stay here, and makes any excuses, that person will immediately be tried to be kicked out by the master's family.
For the revered gaze of everyone, the Taoist priest enjoyed it very much. People who walk the rivers and lakes will observe words and looks, even if their Taoist chanting and dancing gods are all acting on the spot, when they were in the film and television city, they would not exceed 1,000 yuan a day. However, now you can earn tens of thousands of dollars by acting in a funeral!
As long as the performance is realistic enough, blowing to the satisfaction of the master's family, and dancing out of a picture of smoke for their ancestral grave, the poor road does not hesitate to dance until the sea is dry and rotten, so that they feel that the money is worth the face, and it is grand enough to have pomp, this wave of operations will be stable. Otherwise, these ordinary people can still inspect the goods on the spot? You know the art of a fart.
Huai Lingdao's eyes were very satisfied with the expressions and expressions of most of the people, but when he inadvertently swept over a table of diners, he saw from them that his faces were full of suspicion and strangeness, vague, and even a trace of fear. ran the funeral, ran into a game to say less than tens of thousands, and smashed the goof, but it was going to be cut thirteen miles with a kitchen knife. Huailing Dao Chang is not stunned, he has encountered a few hard stubbles and touched a nose of ash, and he will not show mercy to people who don't give face and don't buy it.
The sky is getting dark, and it is impossible to eat until dawn when the banquet is replaced, and the relatives and friends who stay behind are willing to help paste charms and burn paper money, or make efforts to ask for personal favors, which is very common in rural areas. Unlike the neighbors of high-rise buildings in big cities, people may not know each other if they have lived for many years.
Huai Ling Dao Chang didn't want the fat to slip away again, and his face became not very kind, he danced for several years, and what he hated the most was to be demolished: "Where did the people at that table come from?" ”
Hu Xiaoyu's mother: "It should be some villagers, don't you know, Dao Chief, we are a small place, wrap a gift of 50 yuan, and bring 5 or 6 people to the banquet." Let's hold a banquet, they are disgusted and it's hard to say, it's probably someone else's relatives, but the gift money has been given. ”
Huai Ling Dao Chang pinched his fingers, frowned and said: "It's okay, but they are not right, please let them leave first, and also, pregnant women and everything must be confirmed to please leave, and the same is true for those who have plans to get married and have children, if something strange happens to affect the burial, don't blame me for not reminding me." ”
"Well, I'll do it." When Hu Mu heard the strange thing, her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly asked her relatives to help her, although she didn't understand what the "eight characters were wrong" was.
Xu Yunge was speechless when he saw it, and when the Taoist priest distributed the talisman and asked people to paste it in the specified place, he also deliberately asked for a few cards to pretend to help. As a result, not only did there be no special prompt, but the curse on his body did not react at all. After some tossing, it was late at night, but Xu Yunge still saw the people who were invited to leave, occasionally showing half of their heads outside the wall, and always peeping in from time to time.
Compared with the ghosts, they are even more terrifying at this moment, Xu Yunge frowned, deliberately avoided them, and hid in a hidden wardrobe corner. He was now dead at the touch of it, and only the enclosed and confined environment could barely bring the illusion of safety.
"What to do? I feel like I'm about to give birth! It kept trying to get out of my belly, but I wasn't pregnant! Why don't we ask that Taoist priest for help? I just want to get a few more bucks, but I don't want to die yet! The woman holding her stomach was frightened by the crooked fake Taoist priest.
But the rest of the people, not only did not have the slightest intention of helping, but quickly distanced themselves.
"After taking the benefits of the curse, you still want to get out of it without cutting some flesh? If you really curse charity, you can't do charity, or I'll help you with a long pain rather than a short pain, after all, I hate chaos at critical moments. A black-haired young man tilted his head and snorted coldly, and a pitch-black machete was drawn out.
Black mist shrouded all around him, and an obscure scarlet rune appeared in his eyes.
[Curse • Broken wrist of the strong man!] ]: At the cost of flesh and blood, in exchange for the opportunity to cut off fate.
[Curse Characteristic]: When you sacrifice your left or right hand, you will immediately cut off any association that can be severed in any sense, such as hatred, fate, curse, blood relationship, etc., but the level of the severed object cannot exceed this curse level, otherwise it will not take effect.
[Additional Trait: Washing Your Hands in the Golden Basin]: If you lose both your left and right hands, the slash level will be doubled.
"No, don't! I'm afraid of pain, how can I live in the future without hands, is there any other way to take advantage of it, you must know......" The pregnant woman obviously saw the information shared by the young man with her, but under the fear, she had no way to muster up the courage to cut off her hand.
"Hmph, people who are reluctant to do anything often die the fastest, I don't think you have any qualifications to live, typical don't cry when you don't see the coffin, what you encounter is not a little forced in your heart. Count, sooner or later be cursed to death. The young man sneered lightly, and suddenly heard a sound from inside the courtyard.
It turned out that the Huailing Daoist had finished arranging the formation and props, and the people had already gone to rest, but Hu Xiaoyu was dragged out by her parents and pressed in front of the coffin to ask her to keep vigil. It's just that after most of them left, the original tolerant and festive expressions of the Hu family's parents gradually became gloomy and weird, and they said some unbearable bad words, and even Xu Yunge, who was huddled in the closet and closed his eyes, heard that something was wrong.
The man kicked the girl: "You don't want to study, come back and get married!" ”
"Don't talk about spending money on studying outside, you can't achieve anything all year round, you can't put on makeup, you can't do laundry and cooking, and you don't respect your elders more and more, who knows what you're fooling around outside!"
"Every time I text and call you, you get impatient and unhappy, and you want to strip naked to your dad and I'll see if you've gained weight, and you're not fucking happy! What do you always say about Aite people, Aite people, Lao Tzu is not called Aite people, you are still not my daughter, Lao Tzu is your father, do you know! ”
After speaking, Father Hu kicked Hu Xiaoyu's side, her face was painful, but she habitually curled up to the side, but Wang Baozhi had just changed her clothes and saw this scene, and she happened to meet Hu Xiaoyu's smoke-covered eyes.
"Uncle! What are you doing here? Wang Baozhi was stunned, it was the first time she had seen a child beaten like this.
"Our family's affairs, it's your turn to be an outsider to take care of it, and then take care of it and fight with you! If you dare to say it, I'll tear your mouth apart! Hu Mu wiped her tears with red eyes, and the candlelight shook in the wind of the vigil hall. Wang Baozhi stiffened, and could only stand in place at a loss.
"Do you know how old you are? In ancient times, girls got married at the age of 13, and at the age of 16, they gave their parents and grandchildren to their parents! What do you see? There is no force at all! Don't talk about wasting money every day, your grandma is dead and you are not married! ”
"Arrange a blind date for you, this disgust and that disgust, said that the doll kissed 200,000 dowry, and you actually drove people away for me! Even a pig is more valuable and useful than you! If it weren't for your short-lived ghost, who killed your brother and had to pay a fine for regeneration, Lao Tzu wouldn't want to serve you as a waste! ”
"You're a dad too, you ......"
"Don't persuade me, I think this daughter is useless, raising such a big white raise, it's better to sell it to human traffickers and pull it down! Lao Tzu's own mother died, she was reluctant to give a single tear, how to say and persuade her, let her cry a few times and pretend to be a good girl, so that her grandmother would bless our family after seeing it, she refused, why did you say she was so stupid and so disobedient! How strange other people's children are! As soon as I graduated from college, I got married and had a baby, how many years did my parents worry about it! I think you're trying to kill us, right? ”
The midnight was shockingly cool, and Father Hu's spitting and scolding ignited an evil fire in Xu Yunge's heart. The man kicked one foot after another, but Hu Xiaoyu's tears seemed to be crying dry, a pair of red and swollen eyes, smiling tremblingly at Wang Baozhi, two lines of clear tears fell, but they didn't flow for her grandmother: "Is it good-looking?" ”
Seeing that Wang Baozhi didn't answer, she smiled again: "Is it funny?" ”
"Interesting?"
"Enjoyable?"
"Is it fun?"
"Xiaoyu ......" Wang Baozhi couldn't bear to shake her head, this is completely different from the rural family she originally imagined, she always thought that Hu Xiaoyu was born in a simple and natural family to be so kind-hearted, but she couldn't imagine what kind of mental pain Hu Xiaoyu had been suffering.
"Laugh at what laugh, cry for me! I raised you so big and spent so much money, you didn't give a single tear to Lao Tzu's mother, I want you to cry now, if you don't cry today, you will kneel for me for the rest of my life! "You. Prostitute. Son, I'd rather cry to outsiders than to my mother, I've raised you for so many years! ”
Father Hu seemed to be stimulated by Hu Xiaoyu's rebellion to become more and more crazy, and he kicked Hu Xiaoyu's side again and again.
Every time he kicked him, he remembered the annoyance when he lost money playing cards, and a group of people not only wanted to say that he was not good at playing cards, but also took away all his cigarettes, alcohol and pocket money.
Every time he kicked him, he remembered that he was being exposed and made fun of by others, saying that his daughter was made to have a big belly by other wild men every day outside, and she went to have an abortion every month, and everyone in the village laughed at him, laughing so much that he could never raise his head.
Every time he kicked him, he remembered that he was caught gambling and that he was kicked to the ground by the police when he wanted to run at the police station and fell like a dog rolling around.
Every time he kicked, he felt that it was all the fault of this waste daughter, if her brother was still there, and the money for her education was used to raise her children and prevent old age, it would never be like this!
Kick after foot, Xu Yunge saw Hu Xiaoyu's eyes straight, she looked at Wang Baozhi blankly, the light in her eyes gradually extinguished, curled up, struggling, but she just couldn't shed a single tear.
Wang Baozhi suddenly remembered that one night when she got up at night and saw Hu Xiaoyu standing on the balcony of the dormitory, without turning on the lights. The first-tier cities at night are brightly lit, but Hu Xiaoyu is standing in the dark, her long hair fluttering.
"Baozhi, I'm so tired of living, do you think my future life will be a nightmare every day?"
"Fool, after graduation, working independently, people's lives must be getting better and better, the times are so good, there are new opportunities and job opportunities every day, why do you ask?"
"Baozhi, I envy you so much, I really ......"
"But I'm not as good as you, and I'm not as good-looking as you? No one sent me love letters. ”
Wang Baozhi woke up from his memories and heard Hu Xiaoyu "Ah! With a sound, he lay prone on the ground, but Hu's father was still kicking wildly, Hu Xiaoyu's body twitched a few times, and there was no movement. Xu Yunge's hair exploded all over his body, and he felt a familiar and strange aura.
From the perspective of the attack, it is likely that the internal organs were ruptured and hemorrhaged due to continuous kicking, and Hu Xiaoyu should have been kicked to death by her father, but this is completely different from the news reports that Xu Yunge knew.
Could it be that here's the problem?
"Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu? O iniquity! You are angry, how did you beat her to death! Mother Hu felt bad, and hurriedly pulled away Father Hu, and suddenly opened her voice and cried.
Father Hu was stunned for a moment, his face flushed and seemed to be half drunk: "No, it's impossible!" I'm very light! I have raised her for more than 20 years, she is dead, and my bride price money has not been confiscated, so I am not losing a lot of money! ”
"Hurry up and see if there's any gas!"
Hu Mu poked her fingers into the nostrils, and then stuffed her hand into her arms, and cried again: "It's gone, it's all gone, it's all gone!" Oh my daughter! Your life is so miserable! ”
Suddenly, Father Hu rushed over, grabbed Wang Baozhi's hand, pushed her against Hu Xiaoyu's corpse and shouted, "You did it!" You did it! Fingerprinted! You and Xiaoyu kept vigil, you killed Hu Xiaoyu! I want you to lose money, I want you to pay for your life! ”
"I ...... I don't have any money! Help me! Wang Baozhi didn't expect the plot to become so fast at all, so she had to run away in surprise, but she was unexpectedly knocked down by a chair with red eyes and covered her mouth.
"Xiaoyu died in college, and these tens of thousands of tuition fees can't be paid in vain! When people die at school, the school has to lose money! Female doll, you have no money, so Xiaoyu's death is just an accident, and we are also sad, but if you tell the truth, none of us will benefit, you are her good friend, you shouldn't want her to die worthless, right? Do you know what to do! ”
"Whew!" Wang Baozhi was terrified, and he couldn't resist Hu's father and mother at all.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Baozhi saw Hu's father and mother take off Hu Xiaoyu's clothes and throw them aside. Then he quickly stuffed the corpse into the suitcase like a folded quilt, and said while calling someone to ask.
"Tomorrow morning, you squeeze the bus to school, you put on Hu Xiaoyu's clothes and act as her, we will go with you, the body is put in the suitcase first, and when you get to the station, hurry up and ice up, you wait for us to leave, and release the body in a few days, saying that Xiaoyu can't think of suicide, and when the time comes, we will ask the school for money, as long as you don't say it, there will be nothing at all, Xiaoyu will forgive you when you have a spirit in the sky, you know! If something goes wrong, we're all going to go to jail and we're all going to be killed! Know no! ”
"Whew!" Wang Baozhi's eyes widened, and finally compromised in despair and fear.
From this day on, her three views completely exploded.
So it was, Xu Yunge's eyes were gloomy.
It is said that modern college students have serious psychological problems, and modern young people are a ruined generation, but seeing what these people are doing, Xu Yunge was not surprised at all, and even the mission statement did not lie to him, but the sentences were vague, and he didn't understand it for a while. quietly closed the closet, and after witnessing Hu Xiaoyu's tragic death at home, the progress of the task increased to 40%, which shows that the key turning point in the plot is here.
Regardless of whether others could see it or not, Xu Yunge found that the suitcase was constantly wriggling, as if a imprisoned soul was suffering from the flames of hell, and he couldn't control his wail. This evil will destroy every wisdom and warmth she has, intensifying every inch of violence and madness. Until it completely becomes a terrifying existence that cannot communicate and emerges from its cocoon.
"Wang Baozhi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought you back, I shouldn't have let you go through all this, it's my fault, it's my fault......"
"It hurts, it hurts, why does it hurt so much, I, what do I have to do to calm down, all, all of it is piled up here, I can't get out, it burns, ah! Baozhi, help me, who will save me! ”
“…… Sure enough, no one saved me, hehehehe, it seems that I can only rely on myself. ”
