Chapter 1 A thigh

Next Chapter

Dark clouds were thick, lightning and thunder were roaring, and the torrential rain was falling like crazy. Suddenly, the heavens and the earth seemed to be separated by a veil, misty, and the raindrops fell on the green grass of the mountains, making a rustling sound.

At night, dark clouds covered the bright moon, and through the continuous thunder and lightning, several people in robes appeared on the mountain, and behind the people in the robes were three dilapidated carriages, which were carrying corpses to the carriages. It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a carriage as a carriage.

There were several corpses lying on the ground, in different forms. The bloodstains on the corpse were washed clean by the rain. The torn clothes on the chest and abdomen revealed a knife cut, the size of the wound was no more than three inches, and it looked like it was almost a one-shot death. Soaking in the rain, the rotting corpses, pale faces, and the lightning of the night sky give this place an eerie feeling.

"This rain is really weird, I don't know when it will rain?" said the middle-aged man, dressed in a robe, looking up at the sky, muttering to himself.

In the distance, an eight-year-old child, wearing a hat and thin clothes, dragged a severed thigh and walked forward in the rain. The thighs were dragged by the child, raising a furrow in the wet grass. The child was very struggling, and his hungry cheeks showed a sense of perseverance, and he did not want to let go.

As he walked forward, the shoes on his thighs fell off, revealing his pale and bloodless feet, which were particularly clear under the lightning. The child put down the severed limb, picked up the loose cloth shoes, put them on, and continued on his way. Without showing any timidity or fear, the child dragged the severed limb to the carriage, picked it up again, and threw it on top of the carriage.

"Tang Xi, who told you to pick up the severed limbs everywhere, and other corpses?" The middle-aged man next to the carriage took out the severed limbs, threw them on the ground, and continued with displeasure: "Don't you know that those who are not physically complete are not allowed to get on the car?"

Tang Xi didn't speak, he tugged at his mouth, and his dark eyes stared at the middle-aged man, as if admitting his mistake. The middle-aged man looked at Tang Xi's expression, didn't criticize, patted his shoulder, and asked again where the other severed limbs were.

"Fifth uncle, I found it over there, but I found one thigh, and I didn't see anything else. Tang Xi pointed in the direction of the severed limb and said in a childish voice.

The fifth uncle pulled Tang Xi towards what he was pointing at, but he didn't find any severed limbs, leaving right footprints on the wet soil washed in the rain, as well as the ravines left by Tang Xi dragging the severed limbs nearby.

"The severed limb you just dragged is your left leg?" The fifth uncle asked Tang Xi after looking at the row of right footprints on the ground, his face turned pale.

The hat is designed for adults, and Tang Xi's little head is so pressed by the hat that he can't raise his head. The little hand picked up the hat and nodded to the fifth uncle. The fifth uncle pulled Tang Xi to the carriage quickly, and determined that the severed limb was really the left leg, and the left foot was exactly the same size as the footprints left on the grass.

"You will cause trouble for Lao Tzu. The fifth uncle looked at Tang Xi and had the urge to beat someone.

The fifth uncle's actions attracted the attention of the people around him, and they all looked at the fifth uncle, and then saw the severed limb on the ground. Everyone left their work at hand and ran to the carriage and began to ask questions.

"Fifth uncle, what's wrong?"

"Fifth uncle, aren't you going to jump out of the corpse?" The crowd gathered, looking at the severed limbs, you and I kept asking questions.

"Let's finish the business at hand first, let's hurry home, everyone hurry up!" The fifth uncle stretched out his hands and interrupted everyone's questioning.

Everyone walked to their posts and began to get busy. Only Tang Xi and the fifth uncle were left, and the two looked at each other. The fifth uncle, who was sulking for a while, saw these eyes as clear as stars, and the sullenness instantly dissipated.

"Did the fifth uncle tell you about jumping corpses?" asked the fifth uncle after calming down.

Tang Xi nodded.

"Recite "Tang Yi Five No's" for me. The fifth uncle said sternly.

After Tang Xi sorted out his voice, he began to say: "Tang Yi five no, first, the official corpse is not accepted. 2. Men and women are not accepted for martyrdom. 3. Incomplete amputated limbs will not be collected. Fourth, the door is not collected. 5. Infant corpses are not accepted. ”

After Tang Xi recited Tang Yiwubu, he licked his lips and looked at the fifth uncle, his eyes staring at the severed limb, thinking about something. Tang Xi saw that the fifth uncle was silent, holding the hat with both hands, and looked at the fifth uncle stupidly.

After a cup of tea, there was a thunderstorm in the night sky, which woke up the fifth uncle who was meditating, and at this time, everyone had finished their work at hand and gathered towards the fifth uncle.

"Gone, what are you waiting for. The fifth uncle pulled the carriage and led the team towards the back mountain.

Tang Xi climbed into the carriage and sat beside the pile of corpses, not feeling afraid at all. The young men who followed the carriage gave the child a thumbs up.

。。。。。。

"The so-called jumping corpse is just a legend, and no one has seen it with their own eyes. According to legend, if the corpse is not complete, the Hades Hall will not accept it, and only the whole corpse can enter the next life. In the process, it is said that whoever has ever severed a limb will come to him for a corpse. And if it is not given, the body will amputate the limb of the person who moved the body. On the way forward, everyone began to talk about the severed limb, and the sound of the discussion reached Tang Xi, who was sitting on the horse, and after hearing this, he shook his head.

"Really, fake, besides, people are dead, and they can't move. When they heard this, they gasped. One of the young men continued to ask with confusion.

"I don't know the specifics of this, or you should ask the fifth uncle. The fifth uncle is an old man here, if you have anything unclear to ask him. Another young man replied.

The fifth uncle usually doesn't talk much, and he has an iron face almost every day. At the mention of the fifth uncle, the convoy quickly quieted down, only to hear the rustling sound of the carriage pressing on the rain.

After hearing this, Tang Xi smiled. If you want to say that this jumping corpse, others don't know, but Tang Xi knows best. Tang Xi still remembers that when he was young, the fifth uncle often told some scary stories to himself, and he had heard countless times about jumping corpses.

"Haha, it's funny, how do you do Tang Yi, you don't even know how to jump corpses. Tang Xi stood up and continued with a sneer: "You don't even know what Tang Yi does, do you?"

Most of these young people were new to joining in, and they didn't understand corpses, or they talked about the past, and Tang Xi almost always dealt with corpses. Some of the elders have been separated, such as today's chaos, corpses are everywhere, and Tang Yi has also added a lot of fresh blood.

"Go, isn't Tang Yi the one who collects corpses? You're a kid and you'll know what a jumping corpse is, or you can tell about it. Someone asked playfully.

"Haha, I know you don't understand, the master told you. Tang Xi stood on top of the carriage, rolled up his sleeves, and said in a gushing voice.

This so-called Tang Yi, to put it bluntly, is the title of the cleaning team, which was established in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. At that time, the world was in turmoil, and after the war, the corpses were all over the field and the stench was rancid. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, set up a corpse collection team in the army and gave it the name Tang Yi. After the unification of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Yi also disappeared into the army. And the title of Tang Yi is indeed appealed for in the folk rivers and lakes, and they specialize in collecting unclaimed corpses in the rivers and lakes.

And jumping corpses is because the corpse is incomplete, and the soul cannot leave the body, so it cannot die. When the soul of a person who has just died is unconsciously taken away from the incomplete body, and when it is found that the soul cannot leave the body, the soul will return with the body to find the lost limb. When a corpse is missing a leg, it will jump and jump when walking, which is called jumping corpse. If you lose your legs, you will crawl and be called a corpse crawler, and when you have no legs or hands, you will roll forward, which is called a corpse roll.

As soon as Tang Xi's words fell, a yin wind struck, and everyone couldn't help but tremble, followed by a low voice behind him.

"Give me back my legs......"
