Chapter 017: Footprints

Judging from the body shape, it should be two children, a boy and a woman, the male is five or six years old, the female is older than the boy, the two have been bitten by something, and it is not difficult to distinguish the physiological characteristics from the structure of the bones.

These two corpses, a bit like dead pigs gnawed by wild dogs in a ravine, scarlet blood stains hanging between bones and minced flesh, accompanied by a stench that is hard to ignore, is really disgusting.

The little black fat man was much calmer than me, and after reading it, he frowned like the ninth master, the ninth master is like this, sometimes he is a chatter, sometimes he is silent, and when I was about to spit out all the bitter gall, he still stared at the corpses and did not move, and in the end, a young man who followed broke the silence.

"Master, are you sure?"

When he asked this, he was very careful and respectful, and I don't know if I was thinking too much, but I always felt that they seemed to be hiding something and not saying anything.

"I'm not sure about this, let's try it tonight." Jiu Ye said, sighing again, from getting out of the car, this is already his fourth sigh.

Those few people heard him say this, and their hearts also seemed to be very bottomless, the little black fat man saw this, and began to brag with those people with a shy stomach, the general content is "You can rest assured, no one can handle the things we can't handle", this kind of fooling people, I am not very good at it, I walked to Jin Jiuye's side after a few glances, Jin Jiuye saw me coming, and reluctantly smiled and took out a rope as thick as a finger from the backpack on the side to give it to me, the rope is red, about three meters long, It's old, but it's sturdy, and a buckle that doesn't seem to have been opened is attached to one side of the rope, and it looks like the lasso I loved to play with when I was a kid.

"What is this for?" After holding that thing and squeezing it a few times, I asked Jin Jiuye.

"Catch the monkeys." Hehe, he smiled, and he said to me.

"What about you?" As soon as I heard this, I asked.

"You don't have to worry about this, remember, tonight, no matter what sound you hear, don't go into the water." After he finished speaking, he patted me on the shoulder and stood up, and then called the old secretary aside and commanded a few times, I took the rope, a little dazed, and looked at it, at this time, the little black fat man who had been talking to the gang also came over with a smile, for some reason, he looked very happy, I knew that even if I asked him, he would not tell me why I was so happy, so I also hooked the corners of my mouth and smiled.

There was nothing to say that day, the little black fat man went out of the village and drove the broken truck of the ninth master, in the back compartment, we slept all day according to his old man's instructions, and I didn't close my eyes all night, and my spirit was much worse, and I soon fell asleep with the little black fat man's smelly feet.

Someone called me in a daze, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and I just sat up and saw Jin Jiuye's majestic back and a peachwood sword in his hand, this time Jin Jiuye did not change into that particularly stylish robe, but put on a simple Tang costume that was very similar to the ghost servant, saying that it was simple, it was from the shape of the look, and when you got closer, you will find that the indigo cloth is dotted with very complex dark flowers.

"Wake up, wake up, eat." Seeing the little black fat man snoring vigorously in the carriage, the ninth master came over and kicked his quilt and said in a deep voice.

When the little black fat man heard this, he turned over with a click, and then fell down with a pop and began to pretend to be dead.

Moved a small table of one meter square from the carriage and put it on the ground, we gathered around to eat, less than five minutes, the little black fat man came with a mouthful of fruit, lunch was provided by those villagers, it was very rich, a carp was very delicious, in addition, the most satisfying thing was a beer duck brought by the ninth master, I couldn't drink too much, and the ninth master was not reluctant, in fact, this old man was still quite easy-going person, at least from the current situation, it was indeed like this.

To chat during dinner, this is a Chinese tradition, I asked him why he came by car, he said that some things could not be brought on the train, I asked him what the old lady he met that night was, he thought and thought before telling me that it was just a very ordinary corpse, and the last question was why he chose me, he said that I am very suitable for the current job.

After listening to these three sentences, I knew that this old man must be perfunctory to me, however, I didn't have the habit of embarrassing my boss, shook my head and smiled bitterly Things just passed, Jin Jiuye saw my thoughts, a little embarrassed, and found a suitable time He turned out a set of clothes for me, I looked at it, the clothes were similar to the one on his body, but the color was lighter, and the same clothes The little black fat man also had one, he said remember to change him when he did work at night, and then, the topic of the two of us began to deviateIn the end, I don't know what I'm talking about.

It was about six o'clock in the afternoon, the red sun was setting in the west, and I got out of the car with the little black fat man after changing our clothes and waited on the side, when a villager ran over with a thin flower pig that was not much bigger than a cat, handed us the rope and hurried away.

Jin Jiuye walked in front with a compass, followed by a pig, followed by a little black fat man, and then me.

The four of us walked in the setting sun, dragging a long shadow by the river, and the toad, startled by the footsteps, jumped down, and soon showed its head with the chirping of insects in the grass.

Jiu Ye looked at the compass in his hand, adjusted his steps while turning his body to check the direction, and went back and forth a few times along a distance of two or three kilometers before the old guy stopped.

Cut a pit on the ground, took out a bag of loess-like things and put it in, after filling the pit, Jin Jiuye dragged his bloated body around a few times in an orderly manner, and after a while, there were already a few dense footprints under his feet, and those footprints seemed to be very particular, because he was very careful when he stepped out of every step, and his movements were very coordinated, as if he was dancing.

About thirty steps later, a crescent moon with a diameter of between one meter and two meters appeared in the center of the land, the two hooks of the crescent moon were in one place, just enclosing the pit dug in advance, between the two tops of the crescent moon, there was a palm-sized place, Jin Jiuye lit the three pillars of incense, muttering some incomprehensible spells while kneeling very reverently, after kneeling, the three incense pillars were firmly inserted in the vacant land.
