Chapter 124: Fraudulent Corpse

Pu Wei suddenly asked such a sentence in a dignified manner, Lao Wu didn't react, he was stunned for a moment, then took a puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke and said: "Brother, don't say it, I have really seen a corpse before!" ”

In ancient times, when people died, sometimes there was still a breath left in the chest, and if they were washed by cats, dogs and mice, they would be resurrected, and the animal soul possessed the corpse, which is usually called the corpse. But this breath is completely unable to support life, and will only bite like a resurrected corpse beast. In the end, he was tired and fell to the ground, and he was completely dead. Fraud is different from resurrection, fraud is a kind of chaos, and it is also different from borrowing corpses to return souls.

Lao Wu's hometown is in Dashuzi Village, Tumen Town, Danfeng County, Shaanxi Province, which does not have much population and is even poorer than other villages. Lao Wu has the impression that there is no land at home since he was a child, and his father has always been digging wells for people in nearby villages for a living, and his days are hungry and full. Lao Wu's father is dead, that is, his heart is too real, he has to be more serious about what he does, and when others say something and want to pretend to be faced, he will stab the face of others with a word, and the relationship with the people in the village is not very good.

Lao Wu was not treated well because of his father, and the children in the village never played with him, and he was instigated by the adults in the family to see him throwing mud balls, scolding him for being a consuming son, and suffering a lot of bullying. But the people in the village are not all like this, the neighbor of the old Wu family is an old man, no one remembers his name, and calls him Tuyangzi. At that time, people may have been too tired to live, Tu Yangzi was just in his early fifties, looking like he was eighty or ninety years old, and he had no money to marry his mother-in-law and had no children and no daughters to live until now, and he was a serious old bachelor.

Maybe because he lived close to him and knew that Tuyangzi had no support, the Wu family often helped him, and Lao Wu's father also dug a well for Tuyangzibai and often helped repair the roof, and the relationship was good.

Tu Yangzi is very easy-going, I have never heard of him blushing with anyone, because there is no descendant, he is quite rare, the child of the Wu family is Lao Wu, and he hides any good things he gets, and when Lao Wu goes to his house to play, he takes them out for Lao Wu to eat. At that time, they were all poor, it was not easy to have a bite to eat, Tuyangzi himself was reluctant to eat, and left it to Lao Wu to eat, he looked at it and was happy in his heart, and regarded Lao Wu as his grandson. Although Lao Wu was young at the time, he also knew that Tuyangzi treated him well, so he called Tuyangzi "Master", and every time he called Tuyangzi with tears in his eyes, he touched Lao Wu's head and said that he was a good child.

Once, Tuyangzi didn't know where to get a handful of soybeans, and carried them in his pocket for several days, and finally waited for Lao Wu to go to his house, so he quickly took them out. Tu Yangzi took Lao Wu to make a fire with wood in the courtyard, took the horse spoon for feeding the cattle to fill the soybeans, and directly put the horse spoon containing the soybeans on the fire and roasted it, and the soybeans were hot after a while. At this time, Tuyangzi found a wooden board to cover the mouth of the horse spoon, pressed it with his hand, and listened to the crackling sound of firecrackers inside, and a mushy smell of roasted beans immediately dispersed. Waiting for the beans to stop ringing, Tuyangzi took away the wooden cover, and saw that the beans inside were half-black, and he was greedy when he smelled it, and Lao Wu couldn't wait to go in and grab it.

Tu Yangzi stopped him with a smile and said, "Child, don't worry! Don't burn your hands. Then find a ventilated place to put it, and then give it to Lao Wu to eat after it cools down a little.

Baked beans were delicious, but at that time, there were few tofu eats, and few families grew this thing, so it was not easy to get such a handful of beans. Tuyangzi didn't want to eat a single grain, so he watched Lao Wu chew and rattle, touched his head and looked at the sky and said strangely: "Child, you have to go, you are good yourself, and you will come back to see you when you are free." Lao Wu was young at the time, and he only cared about eating, he didn't pay attention to what Tu Yangzi was talking about, he just felt that Tu Yangzi's face was wrong today, and a black gas between his eyebrows became thicker and thicker. A child who didn't understand this thought that he had been smoked when he roasted the beans just now. After eating the beans, he wiped his mouth and said as usual: "Master, let's go, Ming'er will come over to play again." After speaking, he went out to leave, but this was the last time he saw Tuyangzi in his life.

Early the next morning, there was a lot of noise outside, and after hearing the sound, Lao Wu's father sat up directly from the kang, put on a piece of clothing and hurriedly went out. When Lao Wu got up in the morning, he wanted to go to Tuyangzi's house to play, and as soon as he came out of the house, he met his father, and his father knew where Lao Wu was going, stretched out his hand to block him, squatted down and said to him: "Go and wash your face, let's send Tuyangzi away." Lao Wu asked, "Where are you going?" But his father didn't reply, and took him into the house to wash his face and change clothes. By the time Lao Wu saw the poplar again, it was already night, and there were no stars to be seen tonight, and the sky was red. Tu Yangzi was lying on the ground in his own house, still wearing new clothes, with a brazier on the soles of his feet, and Lao Wu and his mother were also here, putting burning paper into the brazier from time to time.

Lao Wu's father patted his head and said, "Go and kowtow to your father, he has no children, he used to be rare for you, you are calling him before leaving, he can be more stable on the road." ”

The flesh on Tu Yangzi's face collapsed, revealing the outline of his facial bones, and his face was blue with his mouth slightly open, Lao Wu looked a little scared, but he understood a little, Tu Yangzi died. This was the first time Lao Wu saw a dead man at such a close distance, he was a little scared, walked over slowly, and quickly kowtowed a few times and wanted to leave, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a lump of yellow hair on Tuyangzi's head, and he was frightened and screamed.

Sitting on the ground and taking a closer look, I saw that there was a yellow-haired old cat curled up on Tuyangzi's face, and some people saw that it was still cracking its mouth and barking its teeth. Old Wu's father suddenly shouted: "It's broken! How to get in a hairy brute! Don't be surprised! After shouting this, he quickly ran over to drive the old cat away. But the yellow-haired old cat is not afraid of people, and he also shows his paws and barks at his teeth, and looks very fierce. Old Wu's father picked up a paper-pressing stick and slammed it over, and the old cat quickly jumped away and ran out along the door.

Just after the old cat jumped away, Tu Yangzi's eyes were actually open, and his eyes were bloodshot red, and he suddenly sat up, and sat on the ground with a frightened howl, shouting, "Fraud, fraud!" ”

Tu Yangzi's movements were stiff, staring straight ahead with red eyes, and then suddenly turned to look at Lao Wu on the side, as if he still knew Lao Wu, a creepy smile was torn off his gray face, and then he stretched out his hand to grab Lao Wu and ran out of the door on his shoulder.

Lao Wu's father shouted loudly, and the people around him came out to see what was going on after hearing it, but as soon as he went out, he saw that he had just died today, and Tuyangzi, who was still wearing a shroud, carried Lao Wu to the entrance of the village, and he was dumbfounded, and if he was bold, he reacted that this was a fraudulent corpse! I also caught a child, hurried home and took farm tools and torches and went to chase the poplars.

As a result, he didn't run far, and Tu Yangzi's pants of the shroud fell loosely to his ankles, directly tripping him and throwing him to the ground. When he recovered, he saw many torches running in the distance, but something around him was dragging towards him. As the torches got closer and closer, the bright old Wu saw clearly that it was a dead looking Tuyangzi, and his fingers clasped the ground and crawled towards him, and Lao Wu was afraid of his hands and feet and kept retreating. But the frightened whole body weakened, and saw Tu Yangzi raise his black hand to grab his feet, but suddenly he didn't move, and a pair of red eyes were still staring at Lao Wu. When Lao Wu's father rushed over and saw Tu Yangzi who was still in his posture, he hurriedly took Lao Wu away and wanted to send him home.

Before leaving, he glanced at Tu Yangzi again, and then walked away with Lao Wu in his arms, and on the way, he seemed to say to Lao Wu in a calm voice: "This Tu Yangzi, the corpse still remembers you, don't forget him, child." ”

may be because of what his father said, Lao Wu still remembers the old man Tuyangzi, remembers that he roasted soybeans for himself to eat, and even remembers the terrifying smile that he cracked after watching the corpse that night.
