CHAPTER XXV

I was so engrossed that I didn't even hear the master call me, and before I knew it, it was completely dark, and the old woman had made dinner, and soon a table of delicious food was served. Although it is coarse tea and light rice, we are very full of food, as long as it is not a wind meal and sleeping in the open this year, I will be content to mix food and clothing!

Fang Zhong even took out the soju that he had been hiding for a long time and was reluctant to drink, saying that he wanted to touch two glasses with his master.

At the wine table, Fang Zhong was probably not happy, he was drinking with his head down, the master was worried that he was drunk and made a mistake, after all, we are not here to drink and chat, it is more appropriate to figure out the truth of the matter as soon as possible. The master couldn't persuade him, so he had to drink with him, Fang Zhong looked like a person who was addicted to alcohol, and two people drank a bottle of soju, how could they not get drunk. I saw that they were very energetic, so I poured myself a glass while I poured them wine, and a glass of wine went down my stomach, and my eyes suddenly choked and my eyes flowed out, and since then I have rarely drank, and I still rarely drink until now, unless it is time to drink.

After three rounds of drinking, after Fang Zhong's daughter-in-law put away the tableware, Fang Zhong and Master each smoked a cigarette, I didn't know how to smoke at that time, and they choked and coughed. Now that I think about it, I felt the most comfortable with Master in the past few years, that is, when I was at Fang Zhong's house, after Master passed away, I also learned to smoke, and I would often go to Master's grave to light a cigarette to pay tribute to his soul.

I don't know if it's because of the wine or what, Fang Zhong didn't finish a cigarette and lay on the table and snore, at this time the master was also a little drunk, he pushed Fang Zhong and said vaguely: "Hurry up, go on!" I'm telling you, no one is allowed to sleep until they make things clear today! ”

Fang Zhong sat up straight, shook his head, poured a cup of hot tea for me and Master, and said to the two of us: "It's not a hurry at this time, Jing'er drank the decoction boiled by Wu Zhu in Liang County today, I'm afraid she will sleep until noon tomorrow, how can she investigate further if she doesn't wait for her to wake up." I think so, let me tell you about the strange things I encountered when I was young, this incident has something to do with Jing'er's madness, after you hear it, maybe it will inspire you, and when you meet that old zombie, you won't be at a loss. ”

Fang Zhong's original words were not like this, he and his wife had never read, and there were too many dialects mixed in his words, I was afraid that everyone would not understand them, so I roughly modified them, of course, the original meaning remained the same.

Listening to Fang Zhong's more and more outrageous it became, Master and I were both shocked, Master reacted more than me this time, the teacup in his hand almost didn't shake off, he stared at Fang Zhong and asked, "Old zombie?" You're coming to me because you've encountered zombies? ”

Fang Zhong nodded and said to the two of us: "Yes, this zombie has already killed a lot of people, if you don't find a way to get rid of it, I'm afraid that more and more people will die!"

"Then why don't you go to the criminal investigation team to deal with it?" I couldn't help but ask.

Fang Zhong let out a sigh and said to me: "I have found it, Captain Qin didn't believe it at first, but then he brought two people and went up the mountain with us to find it, and basically all the people in the village went that night, and even people from several nearby villages joined in, and the scene was quite spectacular." Hundreds of people went into the mountain with torches, and they really encountered it, but in the end they let it run away, and one of Captain Qin's subordinates was injured by him, and now I don't know what happened! ”

"So the zombie came out of the corpse farm?" The master continued to lean back in his chair, his eyebrows furrowed, and he asked impatiently.

"Yes, and the zombie has only just been transformed, and he is the same body in the coffin when we met the funeral procession that day."

"What!" I was so shocked that I almost choked on a sip of tea. Fang Zhong's words became more and more shocking, and he was really speechless!

The master was obviously also shocked, he sat up straight again, leaned forward in his chair, looked at Fang Zhong and asked, "Broken Forbidden Finger?" ”

Fang Zhong nodded: "That's right, the whole thing started because of the broken forbidden finger, since the mysterious man in black appeared, strange things have happened one after another!"

"Is that person identified?" I asked.

"No, I told Qin Tai about it, and he also sent someone to find it, and after inquiring for a few days, he said that he had never seen this person, and even the funeral procession that day said that he was not impressed." Fang Zhong drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, and found that the teapot had bottomed out, so he took the teapot to the kitchen and asked his daughter-in-law to boil the water.

A moment after Fang Zhong left, I asked Master, "Master, your old man is well-informed, don't you know who the man in black who appeared that day was?"

Master shook his head and said to me, "This time is really unseen and unheard of, it turns out that the world is so big, there are no surprises!"

I already knew the answer to Master's tone, and I always thought that Master had seen or heard of all kinds of strange things, but there were still areas that he had not touched! I am reminded of what Fang Zhong said before: "When the funeral procession encounters a person dressed in black and wearing a hat on a rainy day, it must be avoided and let him go first, otherwise the rope carrying the coffin will break, alarming the deceased and not good for the family of the deceased." This is what the older generation said, the man in black usually appears on a rainy day, eats wherever he goes, and eats from house to house, even if someone sees him, he will not remember what he looks like the next day. ”

This is Fang Zhong's narrative at that time, but I didn't tell the details, I think those are irrelevant, now that I think about it, this whole thing, every detail is crucial! Who is the man in black who appeared on a rainy day, or is he not a person at all, to be honest, I want to know! It's a pity that since we left Chenjiazhuang, we haven't met again, or even heard anyone talk about breaking the forbidden finger at all.

Soon Fang Zhong came back with a pot of hot tea, and at this moment Wu Xinyi had already packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and she also sat down around the table, as if she was ready to talk with us all night.

After Fang Zhong added tea to us, he continued to talk about the terrifying experience of raising corpses.

Thirty years ago, when Fang Zhong was a half-grown child, he was about the same age as when I listened to his stories at his house. At that time, the reform had not yet been fully opened, and the proletariat needed to follow in the footsteps of the masses, otherwise it would not be able to maintain even basic food and clothing by relying on its own strength. At that time, Fang Zhong was a member of the production team, and at that time, the masses were driven by the team to open up wasteland and farm to make a living.
