Chapter 270: Xiangxi chases corpses
These two of Luo Feng's subordinates, both with injuries on their faces, said that when we were going out to eat, Hulan suddenly opened the door and walked out of the ward. When Hulan left. He was still wearing a thin hospital gown, and Luo Feng's two subordinates wanted to stop him, but they were solved by Hulan in three or two clicks.
Hulanbi regained some strength during the day, but after all, he still had serious injuries on his body. Looking at his menacing appearance, no one in the hospital dared to stop him. He had just left. Luo Feng and I ran to the entrance of the hospital. It was raining heavily outside, and Hulan didn't know where he had gone.
Luo Feng and I didn't blame those two people, if we were to blame, we would be careless, leaving only two people to look at Hulan. Hulan's skills are not ordinary, and it is normal for Luo Feng's two subordinates to not be able to keep him. Luo Feng asked me what to do, I shook my head and sighed: "He wants to go, let him go, but now it can be determined." Hulan didn't take the initiative to approach me, and he didn't have any purpose. ”
Otherwise, Hulan would not have left suddenly at this time.
We have no obligation to protect Hulan, nor do we have the right to keep him, and now that he is gone, I am not going to spend any more effort to find him, after all, I still have a lot of things to do. There was no longer any need to stay in the hospital, we found a hotel near the hospital and slept together.
This night, Luo Feng and I talked a lot, almost everything that happened recently. Eventually, we decided to wait until dawn. Just leave Chongqing. This is the base camp of the killer organization after all. This place is the most dangerous compared to other places, and the sooner we leave, the better.
One night passed, and as soon as it was dawn, our group rushed to the train station. Luo Feng has a lot of subordinates, and he is not too troublesome, so let everyone follow. We bought a train ticket to Hunan Province and the train left quickly. When I was on the road, I also received a call from Wang Yazhuo.
However, it was not Wang Yazhuo who spoke, but a ghost. The imp said that she missed me very much, and said that she would definitely come to me as soon as possible. I asked the little ghost to hand over the phone to Wang Yazhuo, but the phone was hung up directly, it seems that Wang Yazhuo didn't want to talk to me. Seeing this, Luo Feng smiled: "I thought that this girl was approaching me through you, but now it seems that I am just a pretense at all, this girl should have taken a fancy to you." ”
I remembered what Wang Yazhuo said to me on the day of separation. Now it seems that the world is not that big, and there are many coincidences. I didn't expect that among the people who were rescued in the fire at the beginning, there was Wang Yazhuo. Luo Feng said, and said to me again, now the power of the Wang family is directly in the hands of Wang Yazhuo.
He said that Wang Yazhuo is not as difficult to get along with as Wang Jianming, and he is familiar with us, so it should be much more convenient if he can use this force in the future. The emotions in my heart were a little complicated, and I didn't answer Luo Feng's words. After a long stay on the train, we finally arrived in an urban area in Hunan Province.
Our group got on the bus again and went to the hometown of the Miaojiang woman.
It was a tribal town, called Yuanxi Town, which was said to be a town, but on the map, it was very small, and it was only a little larger than a normal village. The bus did not go directly to Yuanxi Town, but to another adjacent town. There are already a lot of Miaojiang people in this town, and while we were resting in a dilapidated teahouse, Luo Feng asked the locals about the situation in Yuanxi Town.
The boss saw that we were outsiders, so he asked us what we were doing in Yuanxi Town, Luo Feng smiled and made an excuse, saying that he was looking for someone. The boss looked at us for a while, and then slowly said that Yuanxi Town is still several kilometers away from here, and he has a car in the store that can take us there.
However, the boss told us that it was okay to find someone, but we must respect the local folk customs, and we must not comment at will, let alone conflict with the local residents. When the boss told us, he looked serious, and Luo Feng and I agreed. After dinner, it was getting dark, and the boss took the money we gave and drove out his dilapidated truck.
Luo Feng and I were squeezed into a seat, the boss was driving next to us, and the others were all stuffed into the back compartment of the loading car. Yuanxi Town is the hometown of Miaojiang women, and in terms of administrative region, this town is not a strict gathering place for Miaojiang people, but there are more Miaojiang people.
The boss even told us that all the people in Yuanxi Town are Miaojiang people, and the Miaojiang people in this town are not the same as the Miaojiang people in other places. Our luck is good, because this boss has close contacts with the people in Yuanxi Town, and he knows a lot about Yuanxi Town.
The boss said a lot, and when driving, he held the steering wheel while telling us about the situation in Yuanxi Town. He told us not to get into conflict with the local population, and for good reason. Legend has it that the people in this town are more or less magician, he said.
Regarding witchcraft, there are three kinds of famous in Xiangxi, one is Gu poison, one is the Falling Flower Cave Girl, and the other is to drive away corpses, these three together, are called "Xiangxi Three Evils". The boss said that there are three evils in Xiangxi, two of which have gathered in Yuanxi Town, namely Gu magic and corpse chasing.
The boss chattered with us about the situation in Yuanxi Town, and the boss talked about most of the time for half the journey just by a trick. In the second half, the boss talked about Xiangxi chasing corpses. The boss said that in the Miaojiang area of Xiangxi, witchcraft is divided into black witchcraft and white witchcraft, and chasing corpses belongs to white witchcraft. Fight the name of the association.
And the folk of Xiangxi have had the industry of corpse chasers since ancient times. If you want to become a corpse chaser, you must be bold, in good health, and, most importantly, you must apprentice, and you can't drive the corpse at will, otherwise there will be a disaster. When the boss said this, he said cautiously: "In Yuanxi Town, there is a person who violated the taboo and became a corpse chaser without apprenticeship, this person is very weird, and everyone dare not approach him." ”
The boss didn't say much about this person, but I took what the boss said to heart.
The boss continued, the corpse chaser never took apprentices indiscriminately. And the apprentices who accepted it also asked to look ugly, it is said that this is to scare those dirty things. When Luo Feng heard this, he laughed: "This dirty thing is still afraid of ugly people."
Luo Feng's words immediately attracted the cold eyes of the boss, and the boss warned us that in Xiangxi, we must be careful when we speak, so as not to cause trouble from our mouths. Luo Feng pursed his lips and didn't speak again, and the boss continued. When the corpse chaser took in the apprentices, he also required the apprentices to be able to easily distinguish the four directions, saying that this was so that they would not get lost when chasing the corpses. The boss said that according to legend, some corpse chasers who are not good enough will not be able to distinguish whether they are driving the corpse or the corpse when they are chasing the corpse.
If you are not careful, the corpse chaser will be driven into the underworld by those corpses, and you will never come back, so the corpse chaser must be able to easily distinguish the direction.
When the corpse chaser is not driving the corpse, like ordinary farmers, he still works at sunrise and rests at sunset, and takes ordinary farming as his business. But when it comes to chasing corpses, the hours of their work are completely reversed: they do so in the middle of the night.
However, although the corpse chasers are engaged in the profession of corpse chasing, they taboo the word corpse chaser. The boss told us that when the insiders asked them to drive away the corpses, they all said to the corpse chaser: Please go and walk your feet, or walk your feet. If you directly say the word corpse chaser, the corpse chaser may not even accept the business, and directly drive the person away.
The boss said, parked the car, it was very late, the boss said, there is only one hotel in the town, he took us to stay, going back. As we walked on the road, the boss looked around again and said to us, "In Yuanxi Town, among the ten families, eight families raise Gu, and the remaining two families drive out the corpses. ”
Before Luo Feng and I could answer, we suddenly saw a fire in the distance, and after a closer look, there were many people dressed in white, with their heads down, standing motionless around a brazier, they were all wearing cloak and hair, and when the wind blew, the white clothes on their bodies fluttered.
Behind the group, a man in tatters, his face reflected in the firelight, and he was smiling strangely at us
