Chapter 15 Cremation

I received a call from Chen Ping'an at 6 a.m.

I arrived home in the early hours of last night, and I was as tired as a dead dog, so I washed my face and fell asleep. He was sleeping incense, and his phone arrived.

Chen Ping'an's voice sounded a little strange: "Liu Yang, it's evil, Xu Jianan's body came back by itself." ”

I naturally knew why, but I still pretended to be stupid and asked what was going on.

Chen Ping'an said that he received a call from the funeral home last night, saying that Xu Jianan's body suddenly appeared. A staff member said that last night, he saw the corpse jumping back by itself, like a zombie in a movie.

I didn't say a word, but listened quietly. Chen Ping'an was obviously tortured by the nervousness now, and his words were full of horror, saying that someone had witnessed it with his own eyes, the moonlight was very bright, and the corpse's legs were stiff and straight, and he was jumping around there, swaying left and right, and entering the morgue, which was extremely terrifying.

Although I knew that the Tao was fake, I still heard it a little permeating.

Chen Ping'an said: "According to the old man of the funeral home, Xu Jianan died a strange death, and it is likely that he did not come out in one breath and turned into a zombie, and jumped into the mountains at night to worship the moon and absorb light." ”

"You believe it?" I asked.

Chen Ping'an smiled bitterly: "If you don't believe it, you have to believe it, anyway, it's enough for the evil sect." The funeral director suggested that the body should be cremated today, and I raised a hundred hands in favor of it, such a thing cannot remain in the world, regardless of whether it was burned by zombies. Later, he said that he had informed Xu Jianan's relatives and friends that he was afraid that someone would have something to do, so he specially sent a few people to keep an eye on it.

I told him that I would come over later. I washed my face casually, left the house, and went straight to the funeral home.

Because it was a temporary arrangement, Xu Jianan's incineration time was scheduled at 8 o'clock in the morning. Our place is particular about the sooner it is burned, the better for the dead, and many people are proud to grab the first furnace. Eight o'clock was already late.

When I arrived at the funeral home, I saw Chen Ping'an, this kid was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning around, and he was in a state of mind at first glance.

I gave me a few words of comfort, but he was absent-minded and kept looking at the meter to count the time.

The number of people in the hall of the funeral home increased one after another. The most special thing is that a group of thugs came, all of them were no more than twenty years old, weak and weak, like white chickens, but their faces were full of cruelty and savagery. Chen Ping'an immediately became vigilant because of his profession, greeted several policemen, and focused on these people.

I saw acquaintances among these bastards. The little man who stopped the car and robbed that day, and had a double-barreled shotgun in his hand, was also in the team.

The little man had a gloomy face, did not speak to the other companions, and walked around the hall with his trouser pockets in his trouser pockets. I hid in the shadows, looked closely, and couldn't help but gasp. His eyes were strange, dark blue, and he looked like an old cat on the go. I touched Chen Ping'an and told him that there might be something wrong with the man. Chen Ping'an looked at it and sneered: "That's a contact lens." Stupid ** one, I think I'm quite stylish. ”

I shook my head, vaguely feeling that there was something wrong with this person.

I looked closer, and I noticed that these bastards seemed to have the same tattoos on their bodies.

Don't look at it so cold, but they seem to be isolated from the outside world, without any chill. Some wore shiny vests, others wore a single coat, and a similar pattern of tattoos loomed on their exposed limbs.

I couldn't see it from a distance, but the tattoo was about the size of a rubber stamp, with a circle on the outside and an extremely complex composition on the inside, with patterns and letters, which at first glance looked a bit like a skull.

Together, they were either smoking cigarettes or muttering in low voices, their eyes wandering. When they look at people, the light in their eyes is particularly terrifying, not like human eyes, but like cruel hyenas.

At eight o'clock, a simple farewell ceremony for the remains is held in the first hall of the funeral home. Xu Jianan's body was pushed out, and after a night of processing, he couldn't see anything unusual, and he was very peaceful lying on the corpse bed.

I hid in the corner and watched, in addition to these bastards who participated in the ceremony, Xu Jianan's mother also came. She was not alone, she was accompanied by a woman in a green coat. This woman has a red scarf wrapped around her head, and she is dressed in a rustic manner, but she looks quite slender and should not be very old.

This woman stood next to Xu Jianan***, and the two of them were holding hands, looking quite weird.

Chen Ping'an and a few policemen stared at the two women. Xu Jianan's ability to roll around has already taught them. In this case, I am afraid that she will make trouble again.

It can be seen that his mother was very excited when she saw her son's body pushed out, trembling all over, and her eyes were straight. Her hand had been held in the hand of the woman in green, and she was holding it tightly, and her muscles were up.

The atmosphere in the hall was strange, there were so many people, there was silence, not a single one spoke. There were no eulogies, no mourning, and no condolences to the families. Just a minute or two, let you see the body here, Chen Ping'an waved his hand and cremated.

The corpse slowly pushed out of the hall and went to the cremation room behind.

I walked out of the funeral parlor hall, went to the sheltered place and lit a cigarette, and took a heavy puff, a little distraught.

I rubbed the cigarette butt under my feet, and at this time, someone tapped me on the shoulder, and when I looked back, it was Liang Zhiwu. He whispered, "Get in the car." ”

"What for?" I question.

"Follow them." Liang said as he pointed to the bastard who was gradually dispersing.

These bastards walked in twos and threes, and they went in different directions. Liang started the car and hung far behind, following the little man with the double-barreled shotgun that day.

The little man was very alert, and he was beating around and around, looking back from time to time.

I asked Liang what he was talking to him about. Liang said in a deep voice: "This person is full of ghosts, and it is likely to have something to do with Tong San." "I told him about the encounter with Tong Sanzai Dao on Changke that day. Liang held back his face and didn't speak.

I said that I saw Xu Jianan's mother at the funeral home today, and there was a strange woman beside me. Liang Zhiwu nodded: "I saw it, that woman is very weird." Come one by one, solve Tong San first. ”

The little man turned around a few times and got into a broken van. The car quickly ran to the outskirts of the county. Liang Zhuwu didn't dare to follow too closely when he drove, and fell far behind.

After about half an hour, the van stopped, this is a barren mountain, and you can see some abandoned buildings on the hillside. Liang Shuwu drove the car to a hidden fork in the road, beckoned me to come down, and we hid behind the tree to peep.

The little man and a few people got out of the van, talked all the way, and went up the mountain.

Liang looked thoughtful. I asked what it was, and he said, "The county used to want to build a villa complex here, but half of it was finished, and there were only a bunch of dilapidated houses left." According to legend, the feng shui of this place is not clean and haunted. ”

"Why do you say that?" I asked.

Liang pointed to a building on the mountainside and said: "It used to be a hospital, but it was later relocated, leaving an abandoned building. It became a holy place for suicide, and I heard that many people committed suicide in it, and the more it spread, the more evil it became, and now no one dares to come. Unexpectedly, Tong San regarded this place as a base. ”

Although it was daylight, the light was dim, and a blood-like remnant of the sun fell on the main building of the abandoned hospital, revealing a dilapidated gloom. From a distance, we saw that the little man and the others were very small, looming on the hillside, obviously heading for the hospital.

Liang was smoking a cigarette and didn't speak, his eyes narrowed, and there was a faint murderous intent on his body.

My throat is fluttering, he can't be trying to break in, right? I whispered, "I've seen enough, let's go." ”

"Well, it's time to go." Liang Zhiwu threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it, and the cat bent his waist and ran in the direction of the mountain. I was furious when I saw it, and I whispered, "What do you want to do?" ”

Liang Zhuwu looked at me: "Liu Yang, you stay in the car." If it's night, I haven't come back...... You can go on your own. ”

I didn't like it: "Why don't we call the police?" The police are looking for Tong San. ”

"Nope." Liang shook his head: "Letting the police interfere will only get more and more troublesome." He thought for a moment and said, "Well, if you don't have any letter from me by tomorrow morning, you can go back and call the police." If I can't handle it, it means that this matter is not trivial, and the officials will know about it sooner or later. ”

He waved at me, his figure swaying, and he entered the woods. I couldn't say how I felt in my heart, and staggered back to the car. It is very desolate here, there is no village in front of the village, there is no store in the back, except for the barren mountain is a broken ridge, the surrounding weeds have withered yellow, the cold wind is cold, and there is an unspeakable slaughter.

I have something on my mind, and I sit awkwardly. I could only smoke cigarettes one by one, and I smoked a big chimney in the carriage. Soon it was noon, and there was no one in Liangwu, so I got out of the car and stared at the dilapidated building on the mountain. My heart is pounding, or I'm going to go up and have a look? Thinking of this, I was shocked, Liang Jiwu is so powerful, he may be more than lucky, let alone me.

It was really uncomfortable to wait, so I drove to the nearest village and town, bought some bread and ham sausages at the shop, and was afraid that Liang Zhuwu would not find me once he came out, so he hurriedly drove back. The scene I was expecting didn't happen, the place where we parted was empty, and Liang didn't come back.

It was getting dark, and I was lying in the back seat, my eyes straight at the carport.

Wait until tomorrow morning, if Liang Weiwu doesn't come back, I will go back to call the police.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a strange sound from the distance on the hillside.

"Yo~~~Yo~~" The voice is like a lot of people shouting slogans together. With this strange sound, a large group of black birds flew out of those dilapidated buildings, reflecting the blood-red remnant sun, and the black pressure dispersed.

I sat up abruptly, got out of the car, and finally made up my mind to go to the mountains to have a look.
