Chapter 148: Saving the Dead
I comforted myself: "A person has a personal fate, he likes to be carried around by corpses, what does it have to do with me?" I'd better go back to sleep. ”
With the thought in my mouth, I turned and went back to the empty house.
However, I was lying in bed and my mind was never at peace.
If it was an ordinary corpse stealing incident, it was naturally none of my business, but the situation just now was very weird, it was not a person carrying a corpse, it was a corpse carrying a person. How can I, as the owner of the empty house, sit idly by?
I thought of this, sat up sharply, and then gave myself a big slap: What am I thinking? Do you really think the empty house is your home? I'm just an ordinary college student, and when I encounter this kind of gods and ghosts, it's too late to hide, so why bother?
I fell asleep again, holding the broadsword in my arms. I feel a lot more at ease.
I slept in a daze, I don't know how long, when I suddenly heard another bell outside. This ringtone is exactly the same as before,
The voice was faint, but when I heard it, I couldn't sleep. I lay on the bed and hesitated for a long time. Finally got up and walked out the door with a big knife.
This time, I didn't go far when I saw a person and a corpse walking slowly past at the corner of the street. It's just that this time the positions of the two have changed. Become a living person carrying a corpse on his back.
The man's waist was hunched as if the corpse on his back was heavy. He carried the corpse on his back and shook the bell in his hand as he walked forward.
I looked at him dumbfounded, not daring to say a word. I didn't make a sound until the man was far away. The bell was gone, and I went back to bed, staring until dawn.
The next few days were peaceful. Mr. Lu has been avoiding people, but I heard Aunt Xue say that he should have made some breakthroughs, and it is estimated that he is not far from penetrating this bead.
Secretary Wang often came to the empty house to walk around, but he always sat for a while and left in a hurry. Later, I heard that he was moving around, contacting his former best friends and seeking reinstatement.
Xue Qian's health care store has reopened, but Aunt Xue strictly ordered that it is okay to stay in the store during the day, and you must go home at night.
Every night, the street is frighteningly quiet. I lay on a broken bed in an empty house, and I felt like I was the only one left in the world.
From the first time I saw the beggar carrying the corpse that day, I saw him twice every night and once every day during the day.
At night, first the corpse carries the person, and then the person carries the corpse. There are two back and forth in total. During the day, beggars come to buy health supplements, once a day in the morning.
His life is very regular, and my spirit is also regular and tense with him.
In the last few days, I have noticed some changes in the sound of the bell while lying in bed, and every night the bell will be a little closer, a little closer to the empty house. But every time I didn't wait to get to the empty house, the bell would fade away
I used to lie on my stomach in the doorway and peek out secretly. I noticed that the corpse seemed to be conscious, and every day it hesitated to go to the empty house.
But the man shook the bell hurriedly, and as the bell was remembered, the corpse's consciousness seemed to be blurred, and then he was stunned again, and returned the way he came.
I feel a little bad in my heart, this man doesn't know what kind of evil art he is doing, and he is controlling this female corpse. The female corpse apparently wanted to go inside the empty house to ask for help. But she couldn't.
For the last few days, I had been observing the woman's corpse. I gradually noticed that her skin was slowly becoming ruddy, with the color of a living person, and the dead air and dust on her body were slowly decreasing. I was surprised: "Is she going to live?" ”
On the last day, I was lying on the bed in the empty house, and I heard the bell ring faster and faster, and I got closer and closer to the empty house, and I had a strange feeling in my heart, always feeling that she would come in.
I lay on the bed and pretended to be asleep, my eyes squinting to reveal a slit. I saw that the female corpse was no different from an ordinary woman, and she also took off her mourning clothes and changed them into ordinary women's clothes. Array of co-talents.
The female corpse stood at the door of the empty house for a moment, and the man's bell became more and more urgent. After a while, the female corpse finally slowly turned her head and walked away with the man on her back.
When the bell rang away, I realized that a fine layer of sweat had broken out on my back, which had soaked the bed.
I thought to myself, "These two people don't know what they're doing." They can walk to the door tonight, and maybe to my bed tomorrow. Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take the initiative to follow and see what the name is. ”
Thinking of this, I reached out and grabbed the broadknife and took the corpse tooth in my mouth. Then quietly slipped out.
The streets were empty, and the two men had long since disappeared. But it's easy to find them in the quiet of the night. I followed the bell and walked step by step.
After turning a few streets, I finally saw them.
Along the way, I followed the two of them slowly through the streets and alleys, more and more remotely, and then I came to a hut.
The hut stood alone in the dark, with not a single neighbor around. It's very dilapidated, like it hasn't lived in many years. After the two of them walked in. I heard the man say, "Master, I've brought the man back." ”
Then I heard someone hum.
The man asked again, "Is it the same as before?" ”
Then, a voice that didn't articulate the words clearly said, "The same." In a few days, you will be reunited. ”
I heard the man say yes. Then there was a rustling sound.
I didn't dare to go into the courtyard, so I found a few remnant bricks outside the wall and put them under my feet.
I saw the man put the woman's body on a broken bed, then took out a sharp knife and cut his own arm. The blood on her arm ran down the blade and fell into the woman's mouth.
The female corpse slowly opened her eyes, and then licked the blood clean.
Then, there was a little more blush on her face. In the light, I felt like she wasn't dead at all.
The man then took the female corpse in his arms. Just hold it tightly. It was like trying to warm her up with her body heat.
I vaguely guessed in my heart. The man seems to be trying to find a way to save the female corpse.
I don't know how long later, the voice of the "master" came from the corner of the room, saying, "Send her back, the time has come." ”
The man agreed. Then the female corpse was carried on her back. Step by step, go outward.
I quickly retracted my head and hid in the dark.
This time the female corpse was quiet, as if asleep, and she lay quietly on the man's back.
The man held her and walked forward step by step.
I quietly tailgated the two of them. He followed the man all the way to a wasteland. There were several graves in a mess, and the man walked to a dirt pit where there was an open coffin.
The man gently placed the female corpse inside. Then, he closed the lid of the coffin, picked up the shovel standing next to it, and buried the coffin.
After doing this qiē, he hid the shovel. Then straightened his waist. Just then, I heard a rooster crowing in the distance.
It dawned on me that this man would probably come every night to carry out the woman's corpse. Go back and warm it with blood, and when the day is almost dawn, you will come back and bury it here.
After burying the body, the man did not return to the dilapidated house, but instead came to the empty house.
My heart moved, and I thought, "Has he already discovered me?" ”
Immediately after that, I realized that I was too careful. The man crossed the empty house and walked straight to Xue Qian's health care store. After a few seconds, he ran out with a box of pills in his pocket.
At this time, the red sun was rising, and the sun was shining on his face, and I saw that his expression was extremely depressed. His skin was gray, his eyes were dull, and he looked like a dying man.
He hid in the corner, took out the box of medicine with trembling hands, and then stuffed it into his mouth with a trembling look, like he was taking drugs.
I suddenly remembered that Xue Qian said that health care products can imperceptibly resist the erosion of yin qi. Is it because of this that he can't wait to buy medicine?
