Chapter 30: Fighting the Headless Corpse
It was surprisingly quiet, save for a few melodious bird chirpings in the distant woods, and the movement of insects around them.
The four men cautiously walked a few steps away from the weeds, crouched down, and looked inside. The weeds were tall and messy, there was no movement inside, and there was nothing to be seen outside.
"Shall we go in and have a look?" Jin Guo proposed.
"There's a ditch ahead, be careful." The old horse reminded.
"Old Ma, you and Xiaobai go around from there, copy from behind it, and Xiaojin and I rush directly from here to prevent it from running away. You'll be in the back later, shout, everybody! Lei Baoquan said.
Li Bai and Lao Ma nodded, tiptoeing around behind the grass.
Behind the grass was an unplanted farmland, because it had not been cultivated, there was still a layer of rocks and weeds on the ground, Li Bai and Lao Ma cautiously went around the back, looked at Lei Baoquan, and could only roughly see the figures of the two of them.
"How? Can't get on? The old horse asked.
Li Bai was very nervous now, he finally met the real headless corpse, of course, the excitement in his heart was greater than the nervousness.
After a pause, he motioned to the old horse to get ready, and also took the iron rod and flashlight in his hand, and shouted in the direction of Lei Baoquan: "Go!" ”
The word echoed in the silent night sky, and it was particularly abrupt. With Li Bai's voice, the four of them went out at the same time, attacking from the front and back, and rushed into the grass together, Jin Guo and Li Bai were both at the front of their respective directions, picking up the thick weeds, holding a flashlight, and squeezing into the middle.
Li Bai used an iron rod to cut the road in front of him, pulling all the weeds aside, and suddenly felt that there was someone in front of him, so he suddenly stopped, and raised a stick to beat, and the person in front also pushed aside the grass pile at this time, and held a flashlight to shine at Li Bai, it was Jin Guo!
"See something?" Jin Guo asked.
Li Bai put down his stick and shook his head.
The old horse also caught up, looked left and right, and scolded: "Damn, I've been nervous for a long time, and there's nothing." ”
Just when they were disappointed, they only heard a sudden "whoop" behind Jin Guo, followed by a loud roar from Lei Baoquan, everyone was startled and hurriedly rushed forward.
When Lei Baoquan followed Jin Guochong, Jin Guo jumped over the ditch in front of him in two steps, but Lei Baoquan obviously did not have Jin Guo's physical fitness, he took two steps, plus a run-up barely fell into the ditch, so he opened the distance with Jin Guo, although it was only a few steps away, but because of the many weeds, obstructing the line of sight, so Lei Baoquan lost his sense of direction, and was walking suddenly felt something under his feet, looked down, a blurred figure squatted at his feet, and then the figure suddenly "whooped", Frightened, Lei Baoquan also roared and took a few steps back.
The three of them rushed to Lei Baoquan's side, only to see that the latter was sitting on the ground, and there was also a person squatting two steps away in front of him.
Jin Guo hurriedly shone the flashlight at that person, there was no danger, not a headless corpse. Li Bai stepped forward and helped the startled Lei Baoquan up.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Jin Guo asked.
"Isn't this the town's Komatsu?" Lao Ma looked at the person in front of him, who was a resident of the town.
Xiao Song, who was squatting on the ground, heard the voice of the old horse, and hurriedly said, "Director Ma, it's me and it's me." ”
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" The old horse asked.
"I've just come back from an orchard in the mountains, and I'm here to relieve myself. Who knew that I heard someone coming, I was so scared that I didn't dare to breathe, so I squatted here and hid, if it weren't for this big brother..."Xiao Song looked at Lei Baoquan, "If this big brother hadn't stepped on my foot, I wouldn't have jumped out." ”
Lei Baoquan glanced at him and said, "You are such a big living person who can't make a sound?" I almost didn't give you a stick. ”
Komatsu smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't know who you are, so I didn't dare to speak out." ”
After a false alarm, Lao Ma asked Komatsu to hurry home and not stay outside, and the four of them returned to the car and continued to wait.
"I'm busy in vain, I thought I could wait for it tonight, but it seems that there is no drama again." Li Bai stretched his waist and said.
Gradually, the time has reached about one o'clock in the morning, Li Bai has been sitting in the back seat and sleeping for a while, the old horse next to him is still squinting at the small slit in the car window and smoking, Lei Baoquan, who is sitting in the main driver, is also closing his eyes to recuperate, only Jin Guo in the co-pilot seat is still full of energy, always watching the movement outside the car.
Suddenly, Jin Guo saw a black shadow walking slowly not far away, this black shadow had not yet entered the range of the street lamp, and could only see the general outline. Jin Guo rubbed his eyes for fear of seeing it wrong, the black shadow had been walking slowly in this direction, Jin Guo was not in a hurry to call the others, he had to confirm it.
After a while, the black shadow gradually approached, and it was not until he reached the street lamp that Jin Guo saw it clearly, it was a headless corpse in blue overalls, and he was still here!
Jin Guo became excited, and hurriedly called the others, and the other three people were suddenly stimulated in the haze, and they were all full of excitement, and wiped their faces to look at the street lamp.
"Yes, that's it!" The old horse said excitedly that this was the headless corpse he encountered that night.
"This should be Zheng Hao's body." Lei Baoquan said.
"You say, can it hear it?" Li Bai suddenly asked.
"There's no head, it's a ball?" The old horse said.
"It doesn't matter if it can be heard, don't forget what we're here for tonight." Lei Baoquan said, picked up the iron rod, and the other three people were also ready.
When the headless corpse walked about ten meters away from the car, Lei Baoquan shouted: "Go!" ”
The four men rushed out of the car at the same time, and without any hesitation, ran towards the headless corpse.
The headless corpse continued on as if it were unaware of them.
Jin Guo was the first to rush in front of him, although it was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing, and he didn't know how to start, but the ones he had learned in the army should be able to come in handy, so Jin Guo first hugged the headless corpse and wanted to push him to the ground.
The headless corpse was hugged by Jin Guo, as if it was suddenly electrified, and struggled vigorously, Jin Guo was taken aback, the muscles of this thing were frozen, as hard as a stone slab, but the strength was so great.
The other three people who caught up behind him also helped together, grabbing the arms and legs of the headless corpse, Li Bai was even more excited, and knocked on the back of the headless corpse several times with an iron rod, but the latter did not react, Li Bai thought about it, how could this dead man be afraid of being beaten?
Although it was firmly pulled by four people, the headless corpse still had no intention of falling, and its strength was so great that the four of them were very surprised, what the hell is this?
After being entangled for about ten minutes, Li Bai was elbowed seven or eight times, and the old horse was also knocked to the corner of his eye, so he reluctantly pressed the headless corpse to the ground, and the four of them sat up and pressed the headless corpse under him.
"What now?" Li Bai gasped, rubbed his stomach and asked, the headless corpse under him was still struggling.
"Tie him up." Lei Baoquan said.
"I'll go get the rope, and you hold him." Li Bai said and ran to the car and took out the rope prepared in advance, and the four of them took a lot of effort to tie up the headless corpse.
The old horse looked at the headless corpse lying on the ground and was still moving, and said, "Let's just get it to the police station?" This must not scare others to death? ”
Li Bai thought for a while and said, "Find Uncle Li!" ”
"Why do you want to trouble Uncle Li for everything?" Lei Baoquan said.
"There's no way, this Uncle Li is an expert in this area, who is he looking for if you don't look for him? Do you want this thing to be in the news tomorrow? Li Bai said.
Others, you look at me, I look at you, everyone thinks that this kind of thing should not be known to the world, otherwise who can live in peace with the people around here.
"Then get it back first, and I'll talk to Uncle Li tomorrow." After Lei Baoquan finished speaking, the four of them carried the headless corpse into the trunk, pulled it to the police station, and hid it in a small warehouse next to it while no one found it.
The four people who had been busy all night were exhausted, but they were all strange, when they were confronting the headless corpse just now, everyone was not as afraid as before, and there was more of an inexplicable excitement in their hearts, maybe just like Li Bai said, there will be a lot of fear when you don't know what it is, but after you know it completely, you will lose this fear. After Li Bai said so much, Jin Guo summed it up in one sentence: Fear comes from the unknown.
