Chapter 34: Corpse Parts
Fu Jingchen's reputation spread all over Luoxia Village overnight, Xiutao was a knowledgeable person, and the next day he sent a lot of silver taels and pastries, but was rejected one by one. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
A humble gentleman is the most particular about dealing with people, and he can only let the three masters and apprentices stay in the village for a day first, and then leave after a good meal.
When Lu Yuanyan and Chu Dao heard this, they rarely showed the joy of a child, borrowed a fishing net and a small boat and slipped out of the village to fish.
Fu Jingchen was drinking a cup of tea in the courtyard, rummaging through the letters that were burned with only a little text left, and when he came out to see him in a daze after finishing the embroidery process, he said, "Mr. looks like a scholar, and he can't imagine that he has a lot of skills." ”
"You said that if this Zhao Sanxun is willing to find a job and work hard, maybe your family Xiuning will be willing to marry him." Fu Jingchen sighed and replied incorrectly, "I only know how to write something sour and unrealistic." ”
Xiu Tao said, "Sir seems to know a lot about this. ”
"I don't understand this, I'm just a fortune teller, I follow fate." Fu Jingchen suddenly took out a compass from his sleeve, the compass was small and exquisite, but the pointer was broken in the disk, "I was walking on the road, it pointed all the way to Luoxia Village, and when I walked to the door of your mansion, the needle was broken." ”
"So what's the point?" Xiutao didn't look at him, just stared at the compass.
In the ditch at the entrance of the village, Lu Yuanyan poured a basin of water on Chu Dao, "You say, did you break Master's compass and blame me?" ”
Chu Dao choked on a mouthful of water, grabbed a handful of aquatic weeds and threw it back, "Go and go, if you hadn't pushed me behind my back, would I have fallen?" ”
"Hey, I told you not to steal it, you have to take it." Lu Yuanyan rolled the aquatic grass in the mud and threw it back, "If something happens, it's all on my head, you senior brother is enough!" ”
Chu Dao jumped into the water with a "plop", splashed a splash, and shouted, "Didn't you say that the master generally doesn't beat you?" Here's a chance! ”
Since then, Fu Jingchen has also lived in Luoxia Village, less than a year, Xiutao finally married himself, in that era, the old girl married, the little white face into the red, these things are undoubtedly a bomb stunned the whole village, there are countless sneers in the open and secret, but Fu Jingchen and his wife have always been plain and insipid, and the days passed so leisurely.
When Chu Dao was eighteen years old, he went down the mountain to stand on his own, and when Lu Yuanyan was also fourteen years old, Xiutao gave birth to a baby girl named Fu Ruoning.
No one thought that when Fu Ruoning was one year old and just after the New Year, a day of joy, a disaster suddenly fell from the sky.
The south of the Yangtze River is freezing in winter, and the ice and snow will melt, ten fingers can form ice picks when they stretch out, Chu Dao no longer lives with them, and opened an antique shop in the most prosperous town nearby, Lu Yuanyan wrapped in a newly made cotton jacket made by his mother, and wore a tiger head hat on his head, so he happily walked out of the village with the cold.
Although the brothers quarrel with each other on weekdays, but now no one is unhappy with the New Year, the two of them wandered around the street all morning, and they ate bowls of wonton noodles near noon.
Chu Dao opened his mouth in the dense boiling pot gas, "Did you say that our master has been a little weird lately?" ”
Lu Yuanyan wrapped a mouthful of wontons and said vaguely, "What's the blame?" ”
"Always looking restless." Chu Dao looked at the roof of the wonton shop, "You see, I went to pay homage to him a few years ago, but the master was not there, he sat alone in the house, and his face was very ugly. ”
"People, there are always times when things don't go well." Lu Yuanyan added some sesame oil to the bowl, "Maybe it's the younger brothers of the master who are causing trouble again." ”
Chu Dao frowned, "But this is too strange, I have been following my master around the rivers and lakes since I was picked up by him in Yunmeng when I was six years old, and I have never seen his expression, so I always feel a little uneasy in my heart." ”
Lu Yuanyan said, "It's right to be restless, this person who has become a father must always be more stable than before, and his emotions must not be exposed, otherwise Ruo Ning will definitely become a female madman when she grows up." ”
"Go, go, do you have such a curse on the child." Chu Dao pushed him, and stuffed the new clothes he bought for Fu Ruoning into a package, "Say hello to my master and mother for me when I go back." ”
Lu Yuanyan took the package, concentrated on dealing with the remaining wontons in the bowl, and played in the market until the sun was waning before setting off to return to Xia Village.
Fu Jingchen repeatedly told him not to be greedy for fun before he went out, and to come back early, Lu Yuanyan looked at the sun in the sky that was about to close his eyes, and suddenly felt that he would definitely have to be counted down if he went back like this, and as soon as his mind turned, he paced to a stream at the edge of the village, ready to catch a few yellow eels.
In winter, the stream was cold, Lu Yuanyan didn't dare to go down bare-legged, so he slowly walked around the side to find a hole, and after a while, he found a nest of fat, and he was about to start, but he saw something in his eyes.
There was a pink silk scarf floating in the river.
This is nothing, every household washes their clothes upstream, and often floats down the water with one or two pieces of clothing, no wonder he has seen this silk scarf, it is a widow surnamed Li in Luoxia Village, Widow Li's family is not rich, such a silk scarf has been worn for many years, and relatives have seen her around, and it has already been washed a little white and discolored.
Can such a silk scarf be accidentally lost?
But Lu Yuanyan was in a good mood, he didn't think much about it, he just wanted to be a favor, so he lifted his trouser legs, walked into the water, and quickly pulled the silk scarf, but he was stunned after pulling it, the silk scarf floated down all the way, and there were still a lot of blood stains on it, and at the same time, the river water that spread to his calves gradually became scarlet and turbid.
A strong and abnormal bloody aura suddenly came from all around, and Lu Yuanyan glanced upstream suspiciously, and his legs went limp.
The water had been dyed red and poured down like a mudslide, mixed with countless corpses, human and animal.
Most of them had been broken into pieces, and Granny Wang, who had greeted him the day before yesterday, floated past him with her toothless mouth wide open, her pupils were dilated and her eyes were white, and she could no longer speak, because her head was cut off by Qi Gen, and the junction was flat, and the blood had long been empty with the river, and the whole head was like a soaked steamed bun, bloated and rotten.
Lu Yuanyan staggered back a few steps, he fell on the stone by the river, the stone was slippery and cold, and he tried his best to stabilize himself so that he didn't fall.
At the same time, he saw something else in the river of corpses that he would never believe.
He threw himself into the river and grabbed an arm, smooth and snow-white, also cut off by Qi Gen, with a red agate bracelet on it, the owner of which had just boiled him millet porridge this morning, combed his hair, and sent him to the entrance of the village with a smile.
Master? If it's embroidery, then his master?
Lu Yuanyan's eyes were dazzled, he was crazy, he stumbled ashore, closed his eyes, he hoped that he was tired of playing blindly along the way, as long as he opened his eyes, everything would disappear, or the clean river, Granny Wang was still walking at the entrance of the village, and his sister would take the agate bracelet in the courtyard and wait for him to go back.
The calf was soaked in the icy river water, and when the wind blew at this time, he shivered with cold, Lu Yuanyan suddenly opened his eyes, but what he saw was a picture that made him even more unimaginable, it was still a mass of corpses, and the blood flowed like a river, and there was a floating bronze sword mixed with it.
A thin blade and familiar textures.
The sound of "buzzing-" in his mind went blank, and he rushed over, brushed aside the corpses around him, and held the sword in his arms, and the places in his eyes were full of blood, blood all over the mountains.
Lu Yuanyan couldn't hold back any longer, ran to a tree and squatted down and vomited wildly, as if he was going to vomit until all his internal organs were cleaned up, he was a disciple of refining weapons, and he had seen a lot of bloody scenes since he was a child, but in the past, there was Fu Jingchen with their senior brothers, and the situation in front of him must have appeared something that even Fu Jingchen couldn't deal with.
The answer is obvious, then he will never be able to deal with it.
"Squeak—" Something bit his trouser leg.
Lu Yuanyan lowered his head with tears on his face, and a big red-haired tail stretched out from behind the tree, it was the sharp-beaked red fox, much bigger than back then, with a big package on his back, and the porcelain piece still hanging around his neck.
The fox was biting his trouser leg, his two front feet were cocked, and he kept gessing, as if he was very anxious, Lu Yuanyan hurriedly wiped his tears, reached out to unwrap the package, and the fox sat down obediently, and when he tore open the package, a sleeping face was revealed.
"Ruoning?" Lu Yuanyan was stupid, and was about to see if he was injured, when the fox suddenly grabbed his trouser leg with one paw and screamed.
The place where they stood was a small forest, and there was no wind in the forest, but with the cry of the fox, there was a little movement in the forest, and the sound flickered from far and near.
Lu Yuanyan immediately hugged Fu Ruoning tightly, turned around and looked at the place where the sound sounded, except for the cold and bleak bushes, there was nothing else.
"Squeak--" The fox suddenly screamed even more violently, and jumped straight up.
Lu Yuanyan raised his head in the direction of the fox, but in the middle of winter, he broke out in a cold sweat, and a person's head hung down from the tree, and two eyes were falling out of the Tianling Gai staring at him.
Seeing him look up, the pair of blood-soaked eyeballs connected to the dead nerves suddenly "grunted" and turned.
