Chapter 80: The Side Door Meeting
Maitreya and I are kind of people who have experienced a little bit of experience, and the situation in front of us is very scary, but it is not so scared that we can't run. The black cat with the bell flew away and soon disappeared into the depths of the graveyard, leaving only the jingle bell still echoing. Then, the whole cemetery resounded with the grinding sound of corpses breaking through the ground, and one by one the corpses crawled out of the soil under the grave bag, lined up in several rows, and stood in front of the woman.
"Heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals will descend to the earth, go down to the earth" The woman's voice was very hoarse, and she was jumping and jumping in front of the rows of corpses holding the child, like a crazy woman. The child in her arms cried for a while, and then remained silent, anyway, it was very weird. In that atmosphere, no one can maintain absolute calm, I watched and watched, and I couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to pull Maitreya away.
"Look at the woman." Maitreya pointed and said to me, "She must be a living person." ”
As she spoke, the woman put down the rattle in her hand, picked up a broom, and began to brush the dirt off the dead bodies one by one, and when she finished brushing the first row and turned her head to the front of the second row of dead bodies, I saw her face at once, although there was still some distance, but I saw it very clearly, and it was very real, and I was stunned at that time.
It's her?
"How?" Maitreya saw that I opened my mouth slightly and was stunned, pushed me, and said, "Know that woman?" It won't be the doll that your family has set for you. ”
"." I was interrupted by Maitreya, and I was completely sure in my heart that it must be her, Jinbao's daughter-in-law. At that time, we all lived in Xiaopanhe Village, and we were very familiar with Jinbao and her daughter-in-law, so it was impossible to be mistaken.
When Xiaopanhe Village was pulled to fill in the river, Jinbao's daughter-in-law didn't know why she was stupid, and it seemed that she had not recovered until today. In the middle of the night, a large group of corpses crawled out of the cemetery, coupled with a babbling madwoman, strange and very eerie.
When I saw Jinbao's daughter-in-law, I couldn't help but think about it, but Maitreya didn't let me, I'm afraid there would be an accident and we couldn't resist it. Running around alone for so long and going through hardships made me very attached to my past acquaintances. As I broke free of Maitreya, I shouted, "Jinbao! Where are you! ”
As soon as the voice came out, Jinbao's daughter-in-law looked over blankly. I don't know if Jinbao is still pulling people to fill the river for his grandfather's corpses, but I just feel that his formation is getting bigger and bigger, and he can pull so many dead bodies out of the grave at one time.
I shouted back and forth several times, and the sound came far away in the night. Faintly, a few faint gongs sounded from the depths of the graveyard, and immediately after, a dead wind lamp appeared in sight, and the light moved around the graveyard, getting closer and closer to me.
The black cat with the bell sprang out first, ran to the edge of the graveyard, and disappeared after a flash in the ditch, and behind the light of the dead wind lamp was a large field of swaying dead corpses, and the debris on their bodies was messing around, and the graveyard rustled like a light rain.
I recognized the angry wind lamp, and when I was excited, I increased my voice again, rushed through Maitreya's block, and shouted as I ran: "Jinbao, is that you!" ”
The person with the gas death lantern also increased his speed significantly, and ran all the way from that side. Sure enough, it was Jinbao, and he seemed to be a little overwhelmed when he saw me, but he paused, and his expression showed a little relief and joy.
"Jinbao! You're really here! ”
As soon as Jinbao ran over, his daughter-in-law and children wanted to come to him, and after some days of absence, Jinbao seemed to be a teenager old, and his dark face was full of beards. He whispered a few words to his daughter-in-law, coaxed the child, and when the two of them were quiet, Jinbao ran towards me.
When he actually stood beside me, I saw the joy on Campbell's face, mixed with anxiety and haste. He looked hesitantly at Maitreya beside me, and I knew what he meant, so I pulled him to the side. After avoiding Maitreya, the anxiety on Jinbao's face suddenly intensified, and he whispered to me: "Water baby, you came just in time, come and help!" ”
"What's wrong? What's the matter? ”
"It's too late to elaborate, let's talk while you do, don't be afraid, those dead bodies are all driven out to fill the river, and they won't do anything to you." Jinbao pulled me away: "There are too many dead bodies, it's too late to change into a new shroud, hurry up, water baby, it may be too late if it's too late!" ”
"What the hell is going on, you can tell it clearly, Jinbao."
Jin Bao stuffed his head, took a large bundle of white cloth from the cemetery, grabbed the broom in his daughter-in-law's hand, swept the soil on the corpse, and after a while, he turned to me and said, "Your lord, it may be nearby." ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately felt like I had been beaten with chicken blood, and suddenly I got up and stopped Jinbao and asked him, "Where is my grandfather?" ”
"I didn't see it, but the bell on the ghost ship rang thirteen times in a row, which is a signal of 100,000 urgency." Jinbao still swept the soil on the corpse with a broom, and his daughter-in-law tied it around the neck of the corpse with a strip of white cloth, and Jinbao continued: "I rushed to the river beach to take a look, but I didn't see your father, but in the second half of the morning, there were many people on the other side of the riverbank. ”
Those people didn't look like they were in danger, and they didn't look like ordinary river beach people, and when he saw those people, Jinbao had a premonition that something was going to happen, so he hurriedly ran back to prepare, and then, the big bell on the ghost boat rang thirteen times. Jinbao began to prepare for the second half of the day, and as soon as it was dark, he immediately drove the dead bodies in the cemetery and crawled out.
After listening to Jinbao's words, I realized that the matter may be really serious, grandpa's ability, even the old knife is not his opponent, and there have been some Zhenheyin soldiers near the stone coffin, if even grandpa can't carry it, what kind of thing will it be?
My mind was full of my grandfather's completely white hair and the dense wrinkles on his face. Thinking of nothing more, I grabbed the strip of white cloth on the ground and tied it around the corpse's neck. Maitreya hesitated for a while, and then came over to help, and several people worked together, and the progress was very fast. It didn't take long for the black pressure to press a corpse that had just crawled out of the graveyard and lined up in a few rows. Jinbao sent his daughter-in-law and children away first, picked up his own gong, and with the knock of the bell, led the way in front, and the black cat with the bell appeared again, trotting all the way, the black cat ran in front, and a group of dead corpses followed leisurely.
We went straight to the riverbank, Jinbao deliberately detoured to avoid those who appeared on the riverbank in the second half of the day, a large group of dead bodies were driven to the river, the black cat meowed, jumped into the water, all the dead bodies followed into the water, and soon were drowned in the boiling water, I stretched my neck to look around the river, but I could not see the shadow of the stone coffin.
"They're a little upstream." Jin Bao drove a large group of dead bodies into the river, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows were still furrowed, and he said: "There is such a big cemetery near here, and the dead bodies that can be driven out are all over, if the matter still can't be suppressed, I don't know what to do." ”
Jinbao led us quietly upstream a little, and before we could get to the front, we saw several particularly large Kong Ming lanterns floating on the river in front of us. There were people on both sides of the river, and they gathered in groups of three or five, and there were a lot of people. There were several large boats stranded on both sides of the river, and a large area of dense wooden stakes had been erected on the river at some point.
"The paper man Zhang's family, it's time for you to do it." Someone shouted over there.
It was only at this time that I noticed that the people who were scattered in groups of three or five were not in random order, and that the gathering of more than a dozen people showed that they were people of the same sect, and at least twenty or thirty groups of people, that is, this large group of people was gathered together by many people of different factions. The paper man Zhang family appeared, so the people in the side door such as Lu Ban and Lu Butcher must be there.
My heart suddenly brightened, this is the thirty-six side doors that have just been connected together to work together, and they will deal with something together. At that moment, I was nervous, listening to what Jinbao said before, I felt that they were going to deal with the grandfather who was in Zhenhe.
"Our family eats handicraft food, and we don't go by boat or water, these jobs, or you come, when you should use us, we won't be soft." An old man from the paper man Zhang family was playing haha.
"Okay, chase this thing down all the way, everyone is dead, just hide behind and watch the excitement." Someone loudly refuted: "The boss is also here, if you don't do it, you can go with the boss yourself!" ”
The top handle? I was shocked, the thirty-six side doors had just been connected in series, and I pushed my head, what kind of person has such great ability to deter this large group of reckless men? My eyes kept moving around me to see who was on the other end. But the crowd was chaotic, and it was really unclear who was the leader of the thirty-six side gates.
I estimate that these people did suffer a great loss when they were just connected, and when it came to the first place, the old man of the paper man Zhang family didn't dare to say anything more, and turned his head and ordered. Then, from a corner on the edge of the river beach, Hula stood up with a piece of paper figurine, and two sturdy men walked over, cut their wrists with a knife, and spilled a small half bowl of human blood, and spurted out a bloody flower in their mouths.
A piece of paper figurines stained with human blood, as if suddenly filled with a vigorous spirit, staggering towards the riverbank, at least seventy or eighty paper figurines, on the edge of the river beach pulled up a large net with a thick mouth, these paper figures may be oiled paper covered with oilcloth pierced, tossed and pulled the big net into the water.
It is not for nothing that the paper man Zhang family has been able to gain a foothold on the Yellow River beach for so long, and this craft has evolved to the point of being superb. Seventy or eighty paper figures are like seventy or eighty men who are proficient in water, and they go into the water lightly, and they disappear when they plunge down.
"They are holding such strong nets, trying to get something out of the water." Maitreya whispered: "Listening to what those people mean, it's not been a day or two since I've been chasing this thing. ”
My mind was full of my grandfather's figure, and I turned a deaf ear to Maitreya's words, and every once in a while I had to look around for a while, and I was looking forward to my grandfather's appearance, because I wanted to see him, but I was afraid that he would appear at this moment.
After the paper man went into the water, the river was still quiet at first, but in less than five minutes, there was a faint roar under the water, and then, the big net that was brought into the water flew up, and seventy or eighty paper people were lifted out of the water, I don't know what was under the water, but the moment the paper man left the water, it had been shaken into pieces.
