Chapter 282: Strange Rules
The old woman was so frightened that she screamed, and the bag containing the money fell to the ground, and she crawled backwards several times before she patted her chest in horror. Master Mei also stood up from the side of the corpse, he was tall. Hunched back, the old woman quickly took the body back for cremation, and there was no need to think about finding other corpse chasers to drive the body.
The old woman got up from the ground in a panic, found a cart, and pushed the body away at once, and she was indeed frightened. When she left, she even forgot the compensation that Master Mei gave her, but Master Mei picked up the black bag full of banknotes and reminded the old woman to take it away.
The people around Master Mei's shop dispersed one after another, and Master Mei slowly returned to the store slowly, he seemed to see us, but he didn't pay attention to us, and closed the door directly. Luo Feng and I watched the old woman go away. Luo Feng's subordinates were all discussing, some people were surprised that the corpse seemed to really speak, and some people were discussing what the corpse said in the old woman's ear, which would make the old woman, as a relative of the corpse, all pale with fright, and almost lost her soul.
After the door was closed, Luo Feng looked at the sky and said with a smile that not long after the dawn, other stores opened and his shop closed, which was indeed very strange.
In the vicinity of Master Mei's shop, we also found a few shops similar to corpse chasers, but their doors were not closed, so we found out after asking. Although corpse chasers are a profession that works at night, everyone takes over the work during the day and does not close the door of the shop early in the morning. g e.
And Master Mei's shop. It is the only shop in the entire Yuanxi town that has a different work and rest time. The man said that Master Mei only opened his shop after dark, and that there was only one oil lamp in the shop, and that the oil lamp could withstand burning, and that the lamp oil was enough to burn for a night. Generally speaking, Master Mei opened the door in the dark and closed the door at dawn, but today the old woman made such a fuss, so the door closed a little late.
In broad daylight, it is difficult for everyone to find Master Mei, and some people want to ask Master Mei to drive away the corpse, and when they knock on the door during the day, Master Mei will never open it. So. If you want to invite Master Mei, you must come to the door to find him at night, and for this reason, people who come from other places must wait until it is dark to see Master Mei.
The man also said that Master Mei also had a strange rule: once the oil lamp in the shop went out, Master Mei would close the door of the shop regardless of whether it was dawn or not. That is to say, the lights go out, the door is closed, even if there are people who have been waiting for a day, they finally see Master Mei, and when they are discussing the business of driving away corpses with Master Mei, the oil lamp is extinguished, and Master Mei will not hesitate to push people out of the door, and then close the door tightly.
At first, people who didn't know thought that this was the rule of the corpse chaser industry, but they asked other corpse chasers, but no one knew where the rules for lights out came from, and they even asked the older corpse chasers, but they didn't know either. So, this rule has become Master Mei's own rule.
It's weird, not only that, at night, when people pass by the outside of Master Mei's shop, they often hear all kinds of sounds, including children, old people, women, and men, some crying, some laughing, the sound is sad and quiet, which makes people's scalp tingle.
Slowly, everyone was reluctant to pass in front of Master Mei's shop. Sometimes, people who get up late at night and close the window see Master Mei sitting in the shop, outside the shop, not to mention the electric light, there is not even a lantern, and in the store, there is only one oil lamp that is not enough to illuminate the whole shop.
Sometimes, everyone saw Master Mei sitting alone in the shop, and sometimes, someone saw the opposite of Master Mei, sitting on the figure with a cloak, sometimes it was a figure, and sometimes, it was two, three, everyone recognized it, those figures were the corpses sent to Master Mei's shop.
It is said that at most, some people saw that Master Mei's shop was densely packed with corpses, and those corpses, all wearing white robes, bowed their heads, Master Mei sat in front of them, without saying a word, just staring at them, that scene was very terrifying.
After inquiring about Master Mei's news, Luo Feng and I walked away. When I passed by Master Mei's shop again, I looked up and saw that the windows on the second floor were not all closed, and behind the cracks in the windows, there was half a face, and the flesh on the face was wrinkled, and I immediately recognized it, this is Master Mei in everyone's mouth, he is hiding behind the window to watch us.
After I looked at him, the window was quickly closed, and Luo Feng also noticed it, he smiled and said that he didn't know what this Master Mei's name was, and his behavior was so weird. I told Luo Feng that since Master Mei only opened the door at night, then we would wait until it got dark and then come here to see the situation. From the first time I saw Master Mei, I was full of curiosity about this person, not only his methods, but I always felt that this person seemed to have some ulterior secrets.
In the dead village in the back mountain, a group of corpses suddenly appeared, and I almost completely involuntarily associated the corpse with the corpse chaser, the corpse chaser is a unique profession in Xiangxi, and Yuanxi Town embodies this characteristic of Xiangxi. And in the entire Yuanxi Town, the most bizarre corpse chaser is none other than Master Mei.
Passing through the bustling streets, we entered a small alley. The boss who took us into Yuanxi Town that day said that in Yuanxi Town, out of ten households, eight were practicing Gu techniques and two were practicing corpses, which was obviously an exaggeration.
Yuanxi Town is too small, we walked around, and almost all of them went around. Along the way, I found a total of five corpse chaser's shops, including Master Mei's. When asked about the pedestrians on the road, everyone also said that Yuanxi Town is one of the birthplaces of white witchcraft such as chasing corpses in Xiangxi, but now, there are not many people in Yuanxi Town who can drive corpses.
It is almost certain that the only person who can do so-called corpse witchcraft is the corpse chaser in the town.
Because of my special observation, I soon noticed the difference between the other corpse chasers' shops and Master Mei's shop.
Master Mei's shop is very simple, except for a coffin and a few piles of paper, there is nothing else. But in the shops of other corpse chasers, there are miscellaneous things, such as incense and paper for the dead, sackcloth for mourning, and tablets that have not yet been engraved, urns, and everything related to the dead.
Luo Feng also laughed and said that he really didn't know if what this person was doing was driving out corpses or doing things in vain.
Regardless of the authenticity of the corpse, judging from the store, Master Mei seems more professional.
After passing through the alley, they were about to arrive at the place that Luo Feng's subordinates had inquired about in advance, and according to them, the close friend of the Miao Jiang woman suddenly returned to Yuanxi Town. I wondered if I had contacted Jiang Jun and told her that the case had been solved. I don't know how Jiang Jun found this person, but what is certain is that this person has a lot to do with the Miaojiang woman.
We no longer discussed Master Mei's affairs, and when we arrived outside the door, Luo Feng's men quickly dispersed, and Luo Feng and I knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and it was a woman, who looked to be forty or fifty years old, and she asked who we were looking for.
I directly explained the intention, and when I heard the name of the Miaojiang woman, the woman's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she welcomed us into the door and poured us tea.
The dampness in this house is very heavy, there should be no one living in it for a long time, this woman told us, her name is Tao Hong, she is a very good friend of the Miaojiang woman, and the two of them have almost played since childhood. As soon as I heard it, I knew that I didn't find the wrong person this time, a person who grew up with a Miaojiang woman since childhood, should also know the brother of the Miaojiang woman, Duan Kun.
Tao Hong did not deny it, she said that she had left Yuanxi Town for a long time, these more than ten years, only when the Miaojiang woman just died, came back to worship once, this time, more than ten years have passed, Tao Hong said that not long ago, a police officer contacted her and said that the murderer of the Miaojiang woman, the old man Hui, was dead, and she had mixed feelings, so she went back to Yuanxi Town to see, ready to worship the Miaojiang woman.
