Chapter 58: Walking Corpses
After dinner, An Yi sat in front of the computer, browsing through the information about the metal alien one by one, hoping to find her husband's whereabouts.
Angel passed by the door and saw that her sister was surfing the Internet again, and throughout the year, every day lasted until late at night, or she was drunk.
She shook her head and went back to the living room, where her mother was watching TV on the couch.
"What's going on with your sister?"
She got into her mother's arms and replied, "It's the same." ”
"Alas, since Kai Ming's disappearance, your sister has been like a different person, I was only worried about you before, but now I am more worried about her. ”
"How can I worry you?" said Angel, pouting to express her displeasure to her mother.
My mother touched her hair and said, "The boss is not too young, and he can't get married, do you think I can not worry?"
"It's just that people can't find someone they like, it's not that they can't get married. "These are two different things.
"Well, from tomorrow onwards, I will go on a blind date for you once a week. ”
"Mom, spare me. ”
"It's all to blame for me for spoiling you since you were a child. ”
"Don't educate me all the time, we have to enlighten my sister first. Angel was going to distract her mother.
"What's your idea?"
Half an hour later, the mother and daughter appeared in the box of room K. An Yi didn't want to come out, but her sister turned off her computer and dragged her out of the house.
"It has been said that music makes you forget all your worries. Tonight, let's sing it. After Angel finished speaking, she handed the microphone to her sister.
An Yi stood up in the applause of the two relatives and chose a song "Can't Forget You", but at this time, her sister gave her eyes from the side, so she re-chose a song "365 Days of Thinking of You".
Angel touched her forehead helplessly, and her mother sat silently.
And don't let people sing it? People will only sing these songs.
She didn't sing the last sentence, and sat silently in the corner, listening to her mother and sister talking about it.
On the winding road, a bus drove slowly, its horsepower was at full power, and the tail pipe spewed thick black smoke, and it was difficult to climb up a slope that was not steep.
The metal alien lay on the roof of the car, and when the village appeared in the mountains, he grabbed the treetops that passed overhead, and hung his whole body in the air, and the bus lost its weight and accelerated away.
He walked through the dense woods and found his father's grave.
The father disappointed his mother and ran away, and he abandoned An Yi, and neither father nor son was a good husband.
Unconsciously his father died for a year, but he did not come back for the sacrifice, he has been hiding in the city for the past few days, really can't think of any place to go, and finally he thought that when he was a child when he went up the mountain to play, he found a cave on the cliff, the entrance of the cave was covered by weeds, and there was spring water in the hole, only he and the stupid brother knew, it was a safe place for no one to disturb.
In the distance, there was the sound of footsteps, and he hid in the grass next to the grave.
An Yi carried the basket up the mountain, the silly brother jumped up and down behind her, the two came to the grave, lit incense and candles, and the silly brother learned from her and bowed to the tombstone.
An Yi clasped his hands together and said, "Father, please bless Kai Ming safely, although I don't know where he is now, I will definitely find him back." ”
She still hasn't given up, her husband is no longer human, and although he has Kaiming's memories, he identifies with the identity of the metal alien.
The silly brother suddenly ran in front of the grass, his eyes looking around.
Did he find out?
The metal alien was guessing as a column of water slashed across his eyes.
The silly brother didn't know that there was someone hiding in the grass, so he sprinkled it to his heart's content, and then pulled up his trouser chain and ran back to help burn the paper money.
When the open flame was extinguished, An Yi left with the silly brother, but did not go down the mountain, and followed the path by the stream to the tomb of Di Xin.
The tomb has been hollowed out entirely, and a sealed roof has been erected on top of it, enclosing a two-kilometer radius, and An Yi asked the crane workers who were working on it to know that it would be built into a museum.
Seeing the intense construction on the site, An Yi remembered the scene when she participated in the excavation here, there were more than 1,000 pieces of jewelry alone, and although the terracotta warriors and horses were all shattered, they were still restored through modern mapping and gluing technology.
She loved archaeology and devoted almost all of her energy to her career until her husband ran away from home and she had to look for him everywhere and lost her job.
"Anyi. ”
Just as she was about to leave, she saw an old staff member in her fifties or sixties walking over, "Professor." ”
"Why don't you go in when you come?"
"I'm no longer an archaeologist, so I'm not allowed to enter the excavation site. An Yi said.
"Alas, you are a good archaeologist, and it would be a shame that you could not do it. ”
"Because something happened to my family, I couldn't do archaeological work anymore. ”
The professor looked left and right and whispered to her, "An Yi, I discovered something strange the night before. A dried corpse we just unearthed is missing. ”
An Yi was stunned, the last time she launched the black spell, causing the resurrection of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses almost caused a disaster, she and Kaiming had a very difficult time to settle this matter, and there was a dried corpse buried in the ground before it went to the ground, and now I don't know where to run.
"Isn't the scene guarded?"
"The guards just went to the toilet and disappeared when they turned around, and there was no monitoring equipment installed at the scene. ”
This time it's troublesome, a living dead is moving around, and I don't know what will happen.
"Did you call the police?"
The professor replied: "Yes, the police came to investigate the scene, but they did not find the footprints and fingerprints of outsiders." ”
That's of course, because he ran away on his own.
"Professor, please be vigilant at night and call the police immediately if you find something suspicious. ”
"Something?" Before he could figure it out, An Yi hurriedly walked down the mountain.
Because the sun is about to set, the living dead will come alive at night. She had to rush back to the village, inform the families, and stay at home at night to avoid going out. Because she was afraid that others would not believe her, she didn't say that it was a resurrection, but only that there were coyotes nearby.
When passing by the yard of a family at the entrance of the village, she heard her aunt say that chickens had been missing frequently in the past two days.
Maybe it was the living dead.
At night, she lay alone next to the pyre, surrounded by pitch black, and could only observe the situation of the chicken coop by the faint moonlight.
She only has a dry piece of wood in her hand for self-defense, if the living dead really appear, what should she do? can only improvise, if the other party is weak, directly rush over and beat him with a stick, if he is stronger, quietly follow him back to the hiding place, and wait until daytime to bring gasoline and burn him to ashes.
From seven o'clock to eleven o'clock, a few passers-by occasionally passed by, but there was no sign of the living dead.
An Yi endured the sleepiness and insisted, and suddenly a hand was put on her shoulder from behind, and she was about to hit it with dry firewood, when she found that the person who came was a stupid brother.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Play hide and seek. The silly brother said with a smile.
An Yi was afraid that he would ruin his plan, so he tricked him into hiding behind him, and the competition was as long as he could endure without making a sound.
The silly brother immediately covered his mouth and stayed behind her honestly.
At midnight, An Yi's eyelids opened and closed, and he was already in a state of confusion, his eyes blinked, and there was a figure outside the fence in the courtyard.
She wiped her eyes to make sure it wasn't a hallucination, it looked like a woman's form, and her clothes were in tatters, like old rags.
A woman standing in front of someone else's yard at night is definitely not a good thing, An Yi keeps an eye on her. After a minute, the woman began to climb over the one-and-a-half-meter-high bamboo fence with her bare hands. She moved slowly and accidentally fell from the fence into the yard.
Seeing that she was clumsy, An Yi felt that she had a chance to win, but she was far away, and she couldn't be sure that the other party was the living dead, so she could only observe.
The woman got up from the ground, limped to the hen's coop, lifted the small door, and reached in and pulled out a large hen.
An Yi clenched the stick, because he was afraid, but he didn't dare to step forward. The other party may have a hidden weapon on his body, or he may have some kind of witchcraft, and when the woman carried the hen and climbed over the fence, Anyi pulled the stupid brother behind him, and found that he was sleeping very deeply, so he followed the woman's back alone.
The woman walked up the mountain along the path, the air in the mountain was cold, and the grass puppets on both sides were cooing, and An Yi's nerves all over her body tensed.
There are no casualties in the village for the time being, if she eats all the chickens in the village, will she eat people?
The woman walked into a piece of grass taller than a person and disappeared from sight, An Yi hesitated, pushed aside the grass and followed in.
She had tried her best to take her hands and feet as lightly as she could, but walking in the thick grass would inevitably make a gurgling sound, and what was worse was that she had lost the trace of the other party, and just walked in a daze.
While looking around, she accidentally bumped into someone's back, she fell to the ground, touched the sore shoulder, and raised her head, the woman was facing away from her, her long fluffy and messy hair fluttering in the wind, and the clothes on her body were moldy and smelled rancid.
An Yi hurriedly grabbed the stick on the ground, but as soon as she looked up, the woman was gone, and only the long yellow grass was swaying in front of her.
This frightened her, and she didn't dare to follow anymore, so it was best to go back to the village quickly.
As soon as she turned around, she met a withered face, a woman with dark skin, white eyes, no pupils, and a smile at the corners of her mouth, which was definitely not a human figure.
An Yi was stunned, threw away the stick in her hand, turned around and ran, the long grass made it difficult to distinguish the direction, and after running for two hundred meters, she couldn't find her way back.
She looked back, but fortunately the female corpse did not follow, and after a little composure, she began to look for a way out in the weeds.
Ten minutes passed, and there was a sound of running water in her ears, and she walked over, stirred up the grass, and a stream appeared in front of her. If you're lucky, you'll find your way back to the village as long as you follow the water flow.
She had not gone a few steps before she heard a strange sound coming from the stream, and she quickly hid behind a rock, and saw the female corpse crouching at the water's edge, grinding a dagger on the ground.
There was a strange sound in the grass next to her, An Yi frowned, carefully passed behind the female corpse, pushed through the grass, and saw a baby wrapped in a cloth.
