At that time, the boss didn't take this person's words to heart, and he was a madman.

Truth; This funeral shop is a business that follows the natural law of life and death, and if you want to do well, you have to have a large number of dead people. When people live in the world, they would rather say that people are good than that people are dead. In the past, the boss might have had such selfish thoughts, but after Zhong Kui treated his child, he had already made up his mind not to do anything against his conscience.

But there are some things that cannot be controlled by man, and just a week after the strange man left, the boss felt that the business in the shop was increasing day by day. In the past, he could sell up to three or five wreaths a day, but recently, he actually broke the sales record for any peak, selling one or twenty wreaths a day.

There were forty or fifty small towns around the county seat of Tongchuan, and the proportion of the population could not be estimated at that time, and there was no census at that time. But there shouldn't be such an anomaly! If it goes on like this for a long time, what will it do?

When Zhong Kui heard the boss say this, he knew something was wrong, this weirdo was the key, and he had to find him as soon as possible.

While talking to the owner of the funeral shop, Zhong Kui found that the boss's complexion was not as good as before, and his forehead was dull and dull, so he kindly reminded: "Uncle has you felt anything wrong recently?" ”

"Maybe it's because of the recent business, I always feel a little inadequate, and I feel sick to my stomach this morning, so I ran two trips to the pit here." As he spoke, the boss frowned, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Look, come as you say, I'll ...... I have to go to the pit again. ”

The boss's child is no longer demented and is studying in the county elementary school. When school ended at noon, he saw Zhong Kui standing at the door of the store, so he ran over happily and shouted, "Brother Zhong Kui." ”

"Hey! Boa. ”

Bao'er looked at Zhong Kui with a smile, and threw the schoolbag into it while agreeing, shouting at her father and mother. He turned around and said to him: "Depressed, I don't have to go to class this afternoon, the teacher said that I received some notice, something has a plague outbreak." ”

Zhong Kui, who was about to get up and leave, was stunned after hearing Bao'er's words: "What did you say? ”

"That's right, our teacher said; Recently, there was an outbreak of a rare illness in which many people vomited and diarrhea. Several people from our school have been subjected, and they have been temporarily isolated and unable to contact their families. ”

"Spitting up and down?" Zhong Kui muttered to himself blankly.

At this time, the boss came out of the pit in a hurry, his face was even more ugly than before, showing an earthy yellow, and his eyes were blank, and he even struggled to speak and said to his son: "Do your homework, don't grind, I lost a few dollars in tuition and miscellaneous fees." ”

Zhong Kui looked at the boss worriedly and said, "Uncle, you hurry up and go to the hospital to take a look, see that your complexion is wrong!" ”

"It's okay, how can there be such a light and thin person, it is inevitable that there will be no three illnesses and two pains, and the struggle will pass."

"Uncle, what Bao'er just said about the plague, you have to pay attention. I've got to go home and see, you're busy! ”

After Zhong Kui heard Bao'er's words, his heart sank vigorously and sank to the bottom. If he can continue to stay here, he has to find out what he thinks quickly.

I didn't feel ghostly, I didn't see the intrusion of ghosts, but Zhong Kui felt the breath of death deeply, and it was already within reach. He felt something terrible approaching these unarmed people.

On the way home, I asked myself countless times, what am I afraid of?

Zhong Kui remembers that the first time he felt scared was in his grandfather's house, and that time it really scared him enough, and while the darkness tolerated him, there was a 'clang' sound of the door, and then there was the most terrifying scene, a white Sensen's withered and muscleless fingers trembled between the cracks in the door.

But that time it was in an ethereal dream, but now it is real in reality, and this fear can be said to come from the invisibility of the air, and it is impossible to measure it or touch its shape.

What exactly is it?

There are dense and rapid footsteps under your feet, and above you are blue and cloudless sky, and what you can see is people who are in a hurry in a trance. I don't know if it was an illusion or what, Zhong Kui felt that in a dark corner, a pair of eyes full of evil spirit and revenge were watching him.

This person may be the strange man who appeared in the funeral shop, or it is possible that the strange person is an accomplice to this hidden person.

All kinds of Monet unprovoked speculations were born in Zhong Kui's brain, some people dodged him in front, and some people smiled faintly at him. He didn't have the heart to figure out what these people wanted to do, his heart was like being covered by a wide curtain, and he couldn't see the root of the problem he wanted to probe.

As they walked forward, some people fell, some people screamed, and some people fled the scene in panic.

Zhong Kui saw the scene in front of him, and suddenly understood one thing, that is, there was an outbreak of plague in the county.

This plague is unstoppable, it spreads from the air, and the air of the entire county is polluted, and the air is full of the smell of corpses and feces. The flies buzzed with its transparent wings, its thin, burly claws carrying germs, spreading the message of death.

Zhong Kui asks if Wen Geun can paint a portrait?

Wengen nodded.

Zhong Kui ignored Vanilla's question, grabbed Wengen and ran to the funeral shop owner's house. He had a bad premonition in his heart that his boss might die.

Sure enough, when Zhong Kui and Wen Gen arrived at the boss's shop, he was already bedridden.

The boss's son and wife were crying on the sidelines.

Zhong Kui immediately asked Bao'er to leave quickly for his mother and go to a relatively safe place to hide.

The boss struggled to cooperate with Zhong Kui's inquiry, and tried to move the strange appearance he saw out of his memory and tell it to Wen Gen, who painted it.

Wen Gen wanted to open his mouth several times to ask Zhong Kui what was going on, but when he saw the other party's iron face, he had to swallow the words back into his stomach.

Before the doctor came, the boss choked.

Zhong Kui asked Wengen to leave quickly, leaving alone to deal with the aftermath of the boss.

Zhong Kui dumped a lot of kerosene on the boss's body, packed it in a marijuana bag, and transported it to the suburbs to be burned with a pile of discarded sawn ash from a lumber yard.

The burning of dead bodies on the ground was the first time in history. The smoke of the dead rose high into the sky, obscuring the blue sky. Some people scolded their mothers, and some people expressed their incomprehension.

Zhong Kui has been doing this for a long time, but no relevant department has come forward to stop him. The onlookers were all blown away by him, and told them to hurry home and eat raw garlic, otherwise their lives would be lost.

Some people scolded him for being crazy, and some people were suspicious and hurriedly did as he said after leaving.

Zhong Kui was not groundless, nor was he alarmist, after comparing the sudden situation with the symptoms of the patient's illness, he suddenly remembered that his grandfather had told a story he had heard.

The content of this story is about a plague, there are many kinds of plagues, and the nemesis of this plague is garlic, and the details will be explained later.

After dealing with the boss's affairs, Zhong Kui bought a lot of garlic from the market and took it home for Vanilla and Wengen to eat raw, and of course he ate it too. He had just eaten raw garlic and someone knocked on the door, and he didn't need to tell his name, he knew who had found it.
