"The smell of corpses?" I was shocked.

Grandma Tang used to have a nickname in the village, called Big Nose, his nose could smell that there were schools of fish somewhere in the river, and there were dead corpses somewhere, but he didn't expect that Tang Yiyi might have inherited this special function of Grandma Tang.

Tang Yiyi nodded, and then pointed to the two people who were facing away from us: "From them." ”

"Don't be nervous." I said, "I saw them fiddling with their hair just now." There are all kinds of weirdos on the Yellow River beach. ”

I wanted to test them, so I asked my brother, is it okay to borrow a fire?

There was silence for a while, and my heart felt like a big stone was pressed against me, and I couldn't breathe. But fortunately, they quickly replied: "Okay." ”

Although the voice was mechanical and heavy, as if something was pressed in their throat, it proved that they were alive.

I breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward, ready to grab a piece of firewood.

But I never expected that when I walked up and the corner of my eye inadvertently fell on the two of them, I suddenly screamed in fright.

These two people's eyes were so wide that they reminded me of a dead fish's eye, yes, a dead fish's eye. The eyeballs rolled up, the whites of the eyes were "staring" at the flames, and the eyes were listless.

And the other party's skin and flesh were all tight, showing a blue-gray § The corners were cracked, and there was even a trace of yellow mucus flowing down the corners of the mouth.

That's corpse water.

I staggered over to Tang Yiyi and grabbed her hand: "Let's hurry up." ”

As soon as I walked out of the gate of Jiuli Temple, I saw a tractor clanging on the only path leading here.

He can't be touched. I took Tang Yiyi into the shrubs that were more than one person tall next to me, and found a place to hide secretly.

The one who drove the tractor was really the middle-aged man. He stopped the tractor and walked into the Jiuli Temple.

After a while, the middle-aged man ran out again: "Little brother, are you there?" Do us a favor and take us to Nianying Village, and I'll give you five hundred yuan. ”

That's when a fool goes out. Just let us lead the way? I wouldn't believe it if I was killed.

He screamed a few more times, and Tang Yiyi and I hid more tightly.

The scene that happened next made the frightened Tang Yiyi almost scream, because the two people who rolled their eyes and kept the corpse water moved out of the room little by little.

Those dead fish eyes stared straight in the direction of the two of us.

Fortunately, I covered Tang Yiyi's mouth in time, so she didn't reveal our location.

"Find, find me." The middle-aged man scolded: "That kid has the "Ancient Book of Heaven" on him, and he can't find Lao Tzu to abolish the two of you." ”

Two dead men, burrowed into the bushes and grass, were walking in our direction.

Tang Yiyi's frightened face was defeated: "Brother, they ...... What's going on with them? ”

I don't know why I calmed down at this moment, and comforted Tang Yiyi and said, "It's okay, it's just a gangster who chases the corpse." Let's retreat slowly, and we won't find us. ”

When I was a child, I heard my grandfather tell me a lot of strange things about the Yellow River beach, and the corpse chaser was among them.

It is said that there are many strange people on the beach of the Yellow River. This corpse chaser is a kind of side-door left-hand road to catch the wrong door.

The corpse chasers, not the two corpse chasers who drove the corpse forward as on TV, tied bamboo poles to the limbs of the corpse, and tied the other end to their own body, using their own body movements to carry the corpse forward.

However, in this way, they can only bring less than three corpses every time they "drive out corpses", and it is very troublesome, which greatly affects their money-making efficiency.

In order to bring more corpses, they came up with the idea of being half-dead.

The corpse chaser researched a medicine and fed it to those who still had a breath.

This drug can greatly delay the body's metabolism and prolong the death period of some people who are on the verge of death. For example, if you only have one day to live, if you take this medicine, you will not die until seven or eight days later.

However, this drug will also greatly damage their body, and their body will lose most of its functions, at least they will not be able to think independently.

This is what is now called brain death in medicine. But the body can still move.

In fact, what the two of us saw just now was not a dead person, but a living person still breathing. It's just that I can't think, so I can't talk or anything like that.

As for what they answered me before, they may have been taught by the corpse chaser in advance. But it can only be a simple answer, and I suspect that they themselves don't know what they are talking about.

After thinking about this, I didn't feel too afraid in my heart. It's just the walking dead, and it's hard to walk, let alone attack. I think it's really head-to-head, and it's still easy to get rid of two people.

It's just that my heart is not a taste, people who are about to die, and they have to be abused like this before they die, how ruthless is the heart of this corpse chaser.

I took Tang Yiyi along the bushes and grasses, little by little, to the side of the riverbank.

Corpses are afraid of water, and even if we really meet on a narrow road, and we get into the water, they can't do anything to us.

Since I was a child, I loved to play in this reed, so I was comfortable in it. It's just that Tang Yiyi suffered, this girl hasn't been so "down-to-earth" for a long time, and her skin was scratched by the reed pole, and I felt distressed when I saw it.

But the girl's willpower is quite firm, and she comforted me and said that it was okay, let's go quickly.

I scurried forward, looking as if I was about to burst out of the reeds, but I didn't expect my head to hit a hard thing.

My heart tightened, and I hurriedly looked up, but I didn't expect one of the "living dead" to be standing in front of me at this moment, looking at me with a blank face.

Seeing this terrifying and hideous face up close, Tang Yiyi trembled in fright, hugged my arm, and hid behind me: "Brother, brother......"

"Don't panic." I said to Tang Yiyi. My grandfather used to teach me how to deal with this "walking dead", a lock throat, and get them stuck in their throats, and they would die instantly.

I used to just think it was fun, but it really had to lock my throat, and I was a little hesitant. Because physiologically speaking, this is still a living person, and if I do this, it is equivalent to killing someone.

Just as I hesitated, the "living dead" craned his neck and roared like a wolf.

Oh no, he's going to report it. I couldn't care so much anymore, so I jumped up violently, threw the other party to the ground, locked my throat, and made the other party unable to move.

That is, in four or five seconds, as soon as the other party kicked his legs, he completely stopped moving and died!

And his roar immediately exposed our whereabouts, and I heard the tractor thumping in our direction.

"Let's go!" I grabbed Tang Yiyi's arm and ran up in the reeds.

But how can we keep up with the tractor? I heard the middle-aged man shouting, "Grandson, stop for Lao Tzu." "The Book of Ancient Yi Tian" is handed over, and Lao Tzu will disturb your life. ”

Fuck your uncle, it's really not a good stubble. It's just that I wondered, how could the grandfather who was facing the loess with his back to the sky have something to do with Panmen?

"Let's go, run towards the shallows." I said to Tang Yiyi.

Tang Yiyi stopped out of breath: "Brother, I'm ...... I can't run. Go yourself, I'll ...... I'm fine, I'm fine. ”

At this point, my legs felt like they were filled with lead, and it was difficult to take a step. However, the corpse chaser has many methods, and I am confident that I can't play the other party, so I have to grit my teeth and carry Tang Yiyi on my shoulder.

Keep moving forward, the other party has been chasing, and the speed between us is getting closer and closer.

"Brother......" Tang Yiyi wiped her tears distressed on my back: "Let me down, I can run." ”

I didn't listen, and I didn't know what was supporting me to run at that moment, and my legs were sore as if they weren't mine.

There is only a distance of less than ten meters between the tractor and me now, and the middle-aged man roared angrily: "Stinky boy, don't run, I won't hurt you." In front of it is a forbidden place on the river beach, so you can't get close to this point. ”

How could I stop? Just keep running. Unexpectedly, the other party chased about ten meters, so he really stopped, stood on the tractor and scolded: "Silly hat, you stupid hat, you can't enter in front, I'll ask you a few things, I can't do anything to you." ”

The other party's voice became farther and farther away in my ears, and it was only when I turned around that I could no longer see the tractor that I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as my body was weak, I collapsed directly on the ground, Tang Yiyi was thrown heavily to the ground, but she still quickly stood up and held me in her arms, and tears fell down: "Brother, you don't want to die." ”

I smiled at her: "It's okay, let my brother rest for a while, it's okay, look at the tractor." ”

Tang Yiyi nodded, hugged my head, and tears kept falling all the time.

I gasped for a while, but finally recovered. He said to her, let's go.

Tang Yiyi helped me up, and the two of us limped forward.

At this moment, I calmed down, and I remembered the words of the corpse chaser, saying that this was a forbidden place on the riverbank, and I began to respond to it.

In the past, when I heard stories from the old people in the village, I once talked about the forbidden land on the river beach. It is said that at a certain time, some river beaches cannot be entered casually, and they are called river beach forbidden places.

As for what exactly is in the forbidden land of the riverbank, no one knows, because no one who enters the forbidden land can come out alive.

Although this kind of story has a lot of apocryphal elements, but I can't stand the reaction in my heart, so I decided to leave with the girl.

However, after walking a few steps further, I suddenly found a young woman holding a child by the riverbank, squatting by the river to wash things.

The cold moonlight sprinkled down, pulling her figure long. She was still humming softly.

Tang Yiyi and I looked at each other and decided to explore the way to each other. Surrounded by reeds, if we accidentally drill in the wrong direction, what awaits us will be mortal danger.
