Chapter 51: Fraudulent Corpses
The old man's face was very frightened, he wanted to get up and try to jump into the river, taking advantage of the darkness in the night to quickly get rid of the two strong men in front of him, but he found that things were not as simple as he thought, the black ink river had already been solidified into ice, and even a huge truck could drive through it "in one horse". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The breath is not cold, but the air rush seems to have an indescribable magic, this terrible magic can make any flowing liquid quickly condense into hard ice, colorless, tasteless, it seems to be beside it, but it does not feel its presence.
The old man trembled, like a frightened bird in panic, and a look of great horror appeared on his sallow face. His eyes looked at the strong man who was walking towards him, his heart was in his throat, his sweat was almost solidified into crystal clear pearls, and the two dry mouths trembled and begged: "Ben...... This official, oh, no, no, the old man I still carry some valuable jewelry, which I give to the hero at this moment, I don't know if I can bypass the poor life of the old man. ”
When the strong man heard this, a sneer of contempt appeared on his cheeks, he shook his head nonchalantly, took out the iron rod he was carrying, took a big step forward, put the iron rod on the old man's neck, frowned, and roared: "Phew! You flamboyant old puppet, you dare to regard me as a greedy villain who wants to make money, even if you move out of a mountain of gold today, you can't save your dog's life. ”
Such a roar suddenly startled He Wei, who was standing behind him stupidly, and his face looked a little surprised. He immediately sped up his pace and galloped behind the burly man, patted his back gently, his face was full of positive energy, and stopped: "No, no, stop it!" You can't kill someone when they die, it's a life no matter what, and you can't just kill it. ”
The strong man with braids looked back at He Wei, who had just walked over beside him, put on a very puzzled expression, and asked, "Shaoxia, have you forgotten that he wanted your life before?" Like such a mediocre county official, do you still want to intercede for him? ”
"He's a bastard, but I'm not a bastard, he's a cold-blooded animal, but I can't be ruthless, although I'm not a good person, but I really don't want to see a living person die in front of my eyes all the time."
He Wei's words were indeed from the bottom of his heart, he had lived in a quiet and beautiful city, and he had never seen blood and killing, but at this moment, he suddenly appeared in front of him again and again, and the nerves in his mind seemed to be a little confused.
And the old man, who pretended to be pitiful, suddenly stretched out a hand, pulled out his sleeve, and clearly saw a golden ring on his thumb. Although the ring looks a little old, it is obviously very expensive, and in the feudal period only the status of a prominent family or royal family was eligible to wear it.
The old man took the ring on his thumb into the palm of his hand, lowered his head and dedicated the ring to the strong man with both hands, and continued to plead: "This gold ring is given by the Spirit Emperor, it is priceless, wearing it is better than a thousand taels of gold, and I hope that the two heroes will laugh and accept it." ”
The strong man was completely unmoved by the money, but he angered the emotions in his heart even more, his complexion was a little more angry than before, and his nose was about to explode. He immediately swung the iron rod in his hand and hit the old man's head hard, "Bang! After a loud bang, the old man screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
"Stop!" He Wei obviously said this too late, he watched the old man's head spill on the ground like a piece of tofu, and a hazy smell of blood came to his nose, and he couldn't help but vomit all over the place.
"Good death, old horseman! It's not a good thing at first glance. The strong man put away the iron rod and put it on his waist, and his breathing was heavier than before.
Another strong man with messy hair walked up to the old man's body, squatted down and snatched the ring from the old man's hand with his hand. Then he spat on his body and scolded, "Phew! This dog official still has such a good thing, it must be a harm among the hundred officials, and it is extremely corrupt. ”
He Wei saw the bloody scene in front of him, his body was almost paralyzed, his mouth kept vomiting a strange liquid, and the ground was full of disgusting little insects, they also had a pair of transparent wings, but they could only scurry around, unable to fly into the air.
After the strong man smelled this strange smell, he looked back suddenly, only to find that He Wei's skin was red everywhere, his face was a little puffy, and his every move was extremely exaggerated, he immediately walked up and patted his back and asked, "It doesn't matter if you are a young man, right?" Would you like to see a doctor? ”
"No need, I'm afraid that my disease can't be cured, this disease is often good and bad, once it attacks, it will want to live and die, if it doesn't attack, there will be no big problem." He Wei gritted his teeth and slowly stood up from the ground, wiping the blood from his lips at the same time.
"Did Shaoxia eat any seafood or anything like that? The disease looked somewhat similar to my brother's, and he was constantly vomiting strange little bugs in his mouth. The strong man said.
"I've never eaten seafood, but I often eat something greasy." He Wei deliberately turned his body to the side, turned his back to the old man's corpse, and said: "Thank you for saving you before, but now we are in big trouble, no matter what he says, he is also an official, and he will die in an instant, once he is found by the ghost, we will be finished." ”
The strong man smiled: "Hey, what are you afraid of, I will throw his body into the river in a while, and clean up the blood stains on the ground, no one will know, you can rest assured." ”
"If that's the case, that's the best, what's your name?" He Weidao.
Another strong man then replied: "My name is Hao Yue, his name is Zhanfei, we were born on the same day, the same month and the same year in the same year, we used to work for the white-faced ghost a few years ago, and today we have to betray him, which is really helpless." ”
Hao Yue is the one with a disheveled hair and a sloppy look all over his body, like a beggar, while Zhan Fei is a strong man with braids, although his limbs are developed, but his face gives people the feeling of being gentle, like an elegant scholar.
But this sentence suddenly reminded He Wei of the beautiful man who was killed by the old man before, this beautiful man looked a little nervous, and from time to time he would say some strange things that people couldn't understand. He Wei patted the back of his head and suddenly asked, "By the way, the beautiful man was still in the river before, and it is estimated that the body has sunk, let's go and fish him up and bury him." ”
Hao Yue shook his head and said, "Hey, don't care about him, let him go to the river to feed the fish, I feel disgusted when I see his face." ”
Zhan Fei suddenly interrupted Hao Yue's words and replied: "Brother Xian, don't be disrespectful, after all, he is our old master, even if he dies, we must respect him." ”
At this time, He Wei suddenly turned his eyes to the river on the edge of the pier, and found a corpse floating in the rapids of the river, this corpse was very familiar, and it was not difficult to distinguish at a glance that this was the beautiful man who had died before, and this beautiful man was called a white-faced ghost by everyone.
He Wei stretched out his hand and pointed to the surface of the river, and suddenly exclaimed, "Look, his body is floating up." ”
And Hao Yue, who was standing on the side, didn't care at all, but said in a very heavy tone: "Hey, come up, come up, no matter him, the fish in the river must also have a full stomach, otherwise the fishermen nearby will not starve to death." ”
When Zhanfei heard this, he just smiled and didn't speak.
But the expression on He Wei's face was very exaggerated, and he ran to the edge of the dock, turned back and shouted at them: "No, the corpse must be fished up, otherwise the ghost will be exposed as soon as he sees it." ”
After Hao Yue heard it, he felt that what he said made some sense, and at the same time turned his eyes to Zhanfei beside him, looked at his face, and seemed to regard Zhanfei as a central point in his heart.
Zhan Fei hesitated for a while, his expression was a little serious, first he looked at the old man on the ground, and then he turned back to look at the corpse that appeared on the surface of the Catalpa River. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I think what Shaoxia said is not unreasonable, quickly salvage that guy and burn it clean." ”
Hao Yue immediately rushed to the dock without saying a word, and jumped into the river, his brute strength was very great, like a crazy bull, swimming on the water and splashing one after another.
He Wei originally wanted to jump down to help Hao Yue salvage the floating corpse on the river, but he suddenly remembered that he couldn't swim at all, he was just a landlubber, so he could only cheer for Hao Yue while shouting on the shore.
After a short while, Hao Yue dragged the body from the river to the shore, and after dragging it to the shore, he kept kicking the torso of the beautiful man with his feet, and at the same time cursed in his mouth: "You dog, you will torture Lao Tzu if you die, I'll go to you." ”
He Wei was almost dumbfounded, and immediately stepped forward to stop him, and said to him: "Okay, he is dead, and you can't feel it when you kick him." ”
At the same time, Zhanfei also walked to the edge of the dock, looked at the body of the beautiful man, and found that his face was terrifyingly pale, whiter than the freshly baked steamed buns, more like clouds in the sky, and his face looked unnatural at all.
Zhan Fei said: "Put his body and the old man together, I will find some torches, burn them all to ashes, put them in boxes, throw them into the river, and let them sink to the bottom." ”
Hao Yue didn't reply, he nodded, and immediately dragged the beautiful man's body all the way to the old man's side, which was very rude, and a long and red blood trail was dragged on the ground.
He Wei looked back at Zhanfei and said, "After the matter is done, where are you going to go?" Anyway, I don't have anywhere to go for the time being, so I'm not allowed to go with you, I'll go wherever you go, and I won't drag you down. ”
Zhan Fei smiled and replied: "I have seen the character of the young man in my eyes before, although the words are a little strange, but the mind is indeed admirable, if the young man does not dislike it, the three of us can worship as brothers with different surnames, and from then on we will share the blessings and difficulties, what do you think?" ”
"What? Brotherhood? ”
"What? Isn't it so convenient? ”
"No, no, no, of course there's no problem, I usually like to make friends who are righteous on the rivers and lakes," He Wei smiled stupidly.
Hao Yue's voice suddenly came from behind him, he shouted loudly, and said, "It's not good, big brother, it's a corpse, come and take a look!! ”
Before He Wei could react, Zhanfei rushed forward first, and ran all the way to the old man's body.
He Wei saw that Zhanfei was moving very quickly, and he quickly followed behind him. In the dark night, except for the blurred figure around him, it is almost impossible to see the situation from a little distance.
Zhan Fei ran to Hao Yue's side, twisted his neck to look at his face, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?" What is the corpse? How can there be such a thing, this is the underworld, and the ghost will be annihilated within three days after death, and it is not in the yang world, what kind of corpse is it? ”
Hao Yue's face was sweating profusely, her hair was soaked, and she looked really surprised just now. He didn't say anything back, just slowly stretched out a hand and pointed to the old man's body on the ground, his whole arm shaking.
Zhanfei's face changed, and he immediately turned his head to look at the ground, and suddenly he was also frightened, he couldn't say a word, his forehead turned blue, and his body began to twitch.
He Wei, who followed closely, saw that neither of them spoke, and suddenly felt very strange, and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" Who deceived the corpse? What about the old man? Or the young man? ”
Zhanfei didn't speak, and at the same time stretched out a hand, tremblingly pointing to the ground not far ahead, and his legs looked a little unsteady.
He Wei was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What's wrong?" Say yes. ”
After He Wei finished asking, he also followed him to the middle of the two of them, and looked at the location of the old man's lying corpse before. Strangely, he didn't see anything, just the clump of sand and gravel on the ground.
He Wei turned his head to look at the expressions between the two of them, and found that they were all the same, so he immediately couldn't help but ask again: "What's wrong?" By the way, you stand there like a wooden man, and those who don't know think you're a scarecrow. ”
Hao Yue stretched out another hand and pointed to the ground in front of him, his eyes did not move at all, his lips were dry and he muttered in a low voice: "Less...... Young man, look, that old immortal thing is up again. ”
After hearing this sentence, He Wei shifted his gaze to the previous position, but there was still an empty area in front of him, there was no one, and all around was quiet, and he didn't even hear a cat meow.
He Wei thought that his eyes were spent, so he took two steps forward and swept his gaze forward for a distance, but he still didn't see any figures.
"Young man! Come back soon, your feet are just up to his arm. ”
