Chapter 24: Drying the Body
But see, near the edge of the rooftop, two shelves were erected with six bamboo sticks, each of which was triangular, and a wire was used in the middle to connect the two shelves, and between the two shelves, six corpses were hung upside down, just like we usually dry clothes, and the corpses were hung on them.
The hands of these corpses were tied behind their backs, their eyes seemed to have been pecked by something, and they were left alone, and the bright red overflowed from the sockets, and the ground was like a sea of blood, and the most strange thing was that there were two lines of words engraved on the arms of these people.
'Inherit happy things on your knees, and it is difficult for your children to be healthy. It's better to sleep with the animals and reunite under the spring'.
Seeing this, I subconsciously took a step back, and there was only one thought in my mind, and it was this sentence again.
What does this phrase really mean?
Holding back the fear in my heart, Dingqing looked over at the six corpses.
At this glance, my scalp is numb, and it is the sixth uncle.
The sixth uncle hung in the middle position, and the other corpses next to him were all familiar faces, all of which were the workers who had disappeared a few days ago.
This made me completely confused, according to Zhang Dequan's words, they should have used the disappearance to defraud.
However, now the corpse of the sixth uncle actually appeared on the rooftop.
This... This... What the hell is going on!
Just when I was stunned, Wu Lao downstairs should have already known the news and was walking towards me.
When Wu Lao, Zhang Dequan and others appeared next to me, I was unconscious. Because, my eyes kept staring at the six corpses, and I didn't come back to my senses until Wu Lao pushed me.
"Chuanzi, what's going on?" Wu Lao pushed me.
I shook my head and didn't speak, and Wu Lao's movements were simple, and without saying a word, I was ready to go to the police.
However, Zhang Dequan and the others did not give him this opportunity, they dragged Wu Lao to death, and said vigorously: "Boss Wu, this matter has been called to the police, it will only affect your old man's reputation, it is better to be private, I don't want more, six people, you give 600,000, I will dispose of these corpses for you." ”
Hearing this, I was completely furious, six lives were placed here, and he actually... Still thinking about money.
Before I could speak, Wu Lao raised his leg and kicked Zhang Dequan's stomach.
Don't look at Wu Lao's back is a little lumpy, and his figure is not burly, but when he stepped down, Zhang Dequan's face was instantly pale as paper, and the whole person squatted down, covering his stomach tightly.
"Is human life bought and sold for money?" Wu Lao dropped this sentence viciously, and kicked Zhang Dequan on the back again.
With this foot down, the whole person of Zhang Dequan lay on the ground, Wu Lao stepped on his face, and said angrily: "Do you believe it or not, the old man slashed you beast with a knife, and said, did you kill Xiao Liuzi." ”
That Zhang Dequan was so frightened by Wu Lao, and squeaked a few words in his mouth, because half of his face was stepped on by Wu Lao, the sound coming out of his mouth couldn't be heard clearly.
Wu Lao didn't seem to want to hear what he said, so he turned his head and said to me, "Chuanzi, you go to the police." ”
I was stunned and immediately ran downstairs, and those people under Zhang Dequan seemed to want to stop me, but they were so frightened by Wu Lao's eyes that they didn't dare to move.
Soon, I went downstairs and ran straight to a phone booth in Niuwang Village to call the police.
What puzzled me was that when I ran back to the rooftop again, the six corpses were still hanging there, while Wu Lao and Zhang Dequan were sitting on the ground amicably, as if discussing something.
Seeing this, I don't understand Wu Lao anymore, just before leaving, Wu Lao still had to fight and kill Zhang Dequan, how long has it been since he left, and they can actually sit together amicably, this has changed too much.
At that moment, I walked over and sat down next to Wu Lao, and found that Wu Lao was holding a wood carving in his hand, which was the wood carving that Zhang Dequan had shown me, and the carving was Lu Dongbin.
As soon as I saw this wood carving, I glanced at Wu Lao, and found that his face was very gloomy, and I asked him, "Wu Lao, who are you?" ”
He turned his head slightly, glanced at me, and asked me, "Chuanzi, you are a ghost craftsman, what do you think of this wood carving?" ”
I didn't think about it, so I told him that the wood carving was made of fine begonia wood, and told him about the relationship between Lu Dongbin and sex workers.
As soon as I finished speaking, Zhang Dequan said to Wu Lao with a flattering face on the side: "Yes, Chuanzi also told me this a few days ago. ”
That Wu Lao looked at me meaningfully, then at Zhang Dequan, and finally stopped his eyes on me, and wondered: "Can you see anything from the knife skills of this wood carving?" ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "The wood carving is at least a hundred years old, but the words on the wood carving arm are carved recently." ”
When Wu Lao heard me say this, his face sank, "You mean this thing is man-made?" ”
This is not easy to answer, mainly because the whole thing is too evil, if it is completely artificial, it is not right, but, the whole thing must be someone making trouble, otherwise, how to explain the words on this wood carving mountain.
I told the truth about it.
The old Wu didn't speak again, checked the wood carving in his hand, slowly got up, and walked towards the sixth uncle's corpse.
When he walked to the side of the sixth uncle's corpse, he took the wood carving in his hand and compared it with the sixth uncle's corpse, and frowned: "It's exactly the same." ”
I walked over and explained, "Old Wu, the wood carving is carved like this, presumably someone hates sex workers to the core, and coupled with the Seven Acacia at the west end of the village, the kid dares to assert that the whole thing has been prepared for at least fifteen years, and it has only recently erupted." ”
"More than fifteen years?" He glanced at me.
I hummed and continued: "The predecessor of the Seven Acacia is actually the locust tree, if you want to become the Seven Acacia, you have to use the local soil changes and the prosperity of the aura to evolve into the Seven Acacia, and the begonia wood used in this wood carving, from the wood point of view, the locust tree is gold, the begonia is the fire, one gold and one fire are mutually restrictive, and the aura of the whole village can be turned upside down, if the kid is not wrong, the body of a six-month-old child should be buried under the Seven Acacia. ”
Speaking of this, I paused, raised my eyes to look at the corpse of the sixth uncle, and then looked at the wood carving in Wu Lao's hand, and said slowly: "The child's body should be contained in an iron box." ”
I said this, it is also well-founded, first of all, the child's corpse, when I was on the edge of the Seven Acacia, I once picked a piece of grass and sniffed it, and found that the grass had a very faint smell of corpses, I wanted to tell Wu Lao at that time, there was a corpse under the Seven Acacia, but I was not sure.
When I saw the corpse of the sixth uncle, I dared to conclude like this.
The reason is very simple, I think of one word, five luck making.
