Chapter 14: In the Woods

I was surprised, I never thought that Bai Kai could have this ability. But I really didn't have the ability to sigh at the moment, I just felt that starting from the tips of my fingers, I felt numb for a while, and it was about to spread to my entire arm.

If it goes on like this, let's not talk about whether it will freeze to death, frostbite is certain. And this real frostbite is far more terrifying than we think, and there are often amputations because of it.

I tried to say that I was cold.

Bai Xingxing comprehended. You wait, I'll find a way for you to go.

After saying that, Bai Kai whistled again, and the group of corpses walked back. Bai Kai pulled off all the corpses' shirts and threw me a few and said put them on, don't be afraid, it's not poisonous.

I was a little resistant, but for now, it's important to save my life. These clothes are all the same style, and the quality is surprisingly good. It's just not too thick, I hurriedly put several pieces on my body, and the person is not so cold, but the body is wrapped in clothes and cannot move.

After resting for a while with the corpse against the wind, I finally recovered. Only then did I ask Bai Kai, who did you learn from this corpse?

Bai Kai was a little thirsty, grabbed a handful of snow and ate it before saying, I want to say that you believe it when you teach yourself? Hurry first, we can't be left behind for too long.

The sight of several topless male corpses navigating the snow-covered forest was even more beautiful than I had imagined. In a trance, I thought that even if there were monsters in this mountain, I was afraid that we would be scared to death.

I don't know how far the road is, and Bai Kai and I keep chatting. One is to pass the time, and the other is to divert attention, and the province always thinks about cold.

Bai Kai gave me a general description of this corpse. It is said that the corpse has been driven since ancient times. Originally, the method was the same all over the country, which was to drive the body back to their hometown for burial. The Chinese pay attention to the return of fallen leaves to their roots, believing that no matter how far the person goes when he is alive. In the end, you must die in the place where you were born. Even if you don't have time to come back and die, the body will have to be brought back to the ground. It's about reincarnation.

And in some sayings, the souls of those who die in a foreign land have to travel thousands of miles to come back and be reincarnated. Although it is a dead soul, the difficulties and dangers on this road are no less than those of the living, and there are very few who can actually come back. So people are more inclined to simply get the body back. The insurance factor is higher.

There are also many local customs where if a family member dies and is not placed in the ancestral grave or the family's grave, it will be detrimental to the family. So to sum up, no matter what the reason is, this corpse must be transported. In ancient times, the transportation conditions were very poor, and even if a wealthy family set up a carriage to get home, it would take a month. Not to mention that the poor were carried home with their bodies wrapped in bedding and bedding. So this gave birth to the profession of chasing corpses.

When this line of work is there, there will naturally be people who will study it. So with more and more people in the industry. The techniques and means of chasing corpses have been developed more and more perfectly. So much so that many genres were later divided. Many of these genres are no longer verifiable. Anyway, as time goes by, the competition of these genres swallows up infighting, coupled with the demise of nature, and in the end, there are only a few that Bai Kai can say. In modern times, with the development of science and technology, the business of chasing corpses has gradually disappeared, even if you run fast with corpses, you can't outrun cars. This is the inevitable result of history.

However, there are still occasional rumors of corpses being driven out among the people. A large part of this is due to some people's tricks, especially before and after liberation. Many intelligence agents are smugglers, drug traffickers, and arms traffickers, in short, they are people who work with their heads and belts in their belts. These people often use corpse chases to disguise their identities. First, the ordinary people are still very afraid of driving away corpses and avoid them, so they can play a role in hiding people's ears and eyes. Second, most of the corpses are driven at night, and under this banner, you can rest assured when you walk at night. At least no bandits and bandits will come to rob the road.

Earlier, Bai Kai heard the master tell the truth, my country cracked a very large case of abduction and trafficking of women, this criminal is under the banner of driving away corpses, the abducted woman's mouth is sealed, and the head is covered with a black curtain, and no one finds out along the way. If it weren't for one of the women who accidentally missed her menstrual period, this matter would have been hidden.

And the remaining small number of people who really drive out the corpses are usually in the form of walking. Because of the vast territory of our country, the customs are different from place to place. I wish that every village had a village to speak, and the corpse was to serve these customs. For example, in some places it is customary that a person born on a certain day and died on a certain day cannot be carried out of the village in a coffin. He said that he would recruit things for the village. But the body can't be carried out, so it has to be buried in a cemetery. There is no choice but to call the corpse to come, let the corpse go out generously, and this matter will be solved.

In other places, it is customary to use corpses when getting married. This type of marriage generally refers to the marriage of a dead person to a living person, or to two living people. It is not recognized in law, but there is still a custom in many places, and it is said that it is afraid that young people who have not yet married themselves will be unwilling and haunted after death. In some places, it is very simple to get married, and it is over by burying the two bodies together. But some places are different, it is necessary to walk the streets, go around the ancestral hall, or go around the village, which can be regarded as being recognized by the family before you can get married.

There are many places to use this corpse, but to put it bluntly, it is no longer very useful. Doing this business is said to be making money, and I can't even eat enough, so naturally no one wants to do it. Many of the corpses have changed careers, and the closer ones are still in the range of metaphysical scholars, eating everywhere. If you are far away, you should simply go to work and go to work, and it is time to farm.

As for some who have been on the front line of chasing corpses so far, it is not pure chasing corpses. It's about cooperating with the people of the Tao to do great things.

There is no way to drive out the corpse in such a decline. From many genres, for example, the Xiang School, the operation before the corpse is in the dark room, and outsiders can't see it. In the first few steps of the corpse, the corpse is allowed to step over several flat poles of different heights, which is said to be a test of ferocity. Wait a minute. It was transformed into two factions, the north and the south, which were later divided according to the north and the south. The south is more traditional, and it is still the original number of roads. On the contrary, the north is more advanced, and a lot of fresh props will be used.

However, these were only a long time ago, and now that the north and the south are divided, there are few people in the whole country to do it, so there is no way to distinguish them.

Bai Kai talked a lot, and I listened to it all in my ears.

It's really fresh, and it's really ignoring the cold. In addition, after walking for a while, people have warmed up, so that it cannot be said to be comfortable, at least it can be persevered.

After walking for about an hour, I began to think that we were heading in the direction of the Ice House. But at this point, I realized that we seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the Ice House.

I asked Bai Kai, where do you want us to take it? Not going to the Ice House?

Take us to Qin Yiheng, I'll tell you. This black thread is threaded, and that is a whole. It's for insurance. We have no choice but to do so now, and I can't say if it's safe or not after a long time. Qin Yiheng must be found first. Bai Kai warmed his hands and said, don't look at the corpse, it's smarter than our nose. Qin Yiheng must be here, he didn't run.

I nodded, and it seemed that I was on the right track. Qin Yiheng really has some secrets here.

I wondered if I would find another ice house, could there be a lot of it in the woods?

I said, Bai Kai, do you have any plans? Are we going to mix or watch?

Bai Kai thought about it, and suddenly asked me, hey, Xiaoque, let me ask you a question. If you think about it, it's just a simple question.

I said, why are you squirming? Borrowing money? No!

Do not borrow money. Bai Kai suddenly said sternly, let me ask you, if one of the two people and Qin Yiheng must sink into the Yin River, are you willing to let me sacrifice? Or are you willing to let Qin Yiheng be righteous?

I heard something was wrong. I said, "That's what you're asking?" Then choose you, you have enough to live anyway.

Oh, take me. Bai Kai was not angry and asked again, then if you and Qin Yiheng must have someone to sink into the river? How do you choose?
