Chapter 6: The Adventure of Chasing the Dead 3
It's night, the moon and stars are scarce, and the birds are silent. A group of six people drove eight "walking corpses" to walk in the barren mountains and mountains, and the situation was very strange.
Zhao Ping pretended to be a "corpse chaser" and walked slowly in front to lead the way, and he didn't play a lantern, he shook a soul bell in his right hand, and the bell sounded clear, like a ghost.
The sound of the Dementor Bell, as well as the red robes on his body, were actually deliberately creating an atmosphere of terror so that passers-by could avoid them in time.
Zhao Ping took out a few pieces of yellow paper from his baggage from time to time along the way and threw them on the ground, so as to guide the "walking corpse" behind him in the direction of progress.
Shao Yuanjie and Xu Xiaoqi were both picking up corpses for the first time, and their sight was blocked by Zongye Douli and Chenzhou Fu, and they all relied on their low eyes to find the yellow piece of paper that Zhao Ping threw on the ground to identify the road, which was really difficult to move an inch.
Whenever he passed by the village, Zhao Ping muttered: "Yin people borrow the road, Yang people avoid it." And take out the small yin gong in the baggage and strike it a few times. The real purpose of the sound of the small yin gong is to inform the family with the dog to lock up the dog.
Except for a peachwood sword used to ward off evil spirits, the corpse chaser has nothing to grow, and it is difficult to defend against the corpse chaser when passing through a village with a family of people in the middle of the night.
Because of this, the scope of activities of "chasing corpses" is basically limited to the mountainous areas of Xiangxi. Generally, the north to Langzhou (Changde) can not cross the Dongting Lake, to the east only to Jingzhou, to the west only to Fuzhou and Wuzhou, to the southwest to Yunnan and Guizhou. Legend has it that these places are the ghost kingdoms of the ancestors of the Miao people, and they are far away, and even Lao Si can't drive those zombies. It is said that the four places of Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Lipu are the most popular to drive out corpses.
After walking for more than twenty miles, Chen Dafu said in a rough voice: "It's time to rest, Lao Tzu is tired and sweaty!"
So they all sat down and rested. Chen Dafu fanned the wind with a big hat, and he couldn't stop scolding his mother. Zhao Ping sat in the grass, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, and deliberately looked away. Shao Yuanjie and Xu Xiaoqi exchanged glances in the dark, but it was inconvenient for them to speak.
It turns out that if the corpse chaser encounters a long distance, the mage and the corpse carrier usually change every day. But Zhao Ping is a cunning person, and he refuses to exchange.
Chen Dafu secretly couldn't get used to Zhao Ping's stealing and tricks, but he was not good at words, seeing that Zhao Ping had already regarded the act of pretending to be a mage as his own private possession, and he refused to let others touch the dementor bell and the small yin gong used to pretend to be a mage on weekdays, Chen Dafu's stomach was about to burst. Zhao Ping is more popular than Chen Dafu, and everyone is unwilling to fight for Chen Dafu in vain, and over time, Chen Dafu has no choice but to eat Yellow Lotus dumbly.
As the saying goes: people are more popular than people who die. Although Chen Dafu is said to be his uncle, he is actually the same as everyone else, that is, he is a subordinate person who carries corpses and picks up corpses, how can he not be angry? The four young people are all apprentices and grandchildren, and it is inconvenient to get involved in the contradiction between the uncle and the master, so they can only pretend to be deaf and dumb and watch Chen Dafu and his senior brother vomit.
The evening breeze was blowing, and the hot sweat on everyone's body was quickly dried by the cool breeze. Everyone rested for a while, and Zhao Ping said: "There is still fifty miles ahead of the inn, and you must rush to the inn to stay before dawn." The people did not dare to delay, so they set out again.
The corpse chaser drove the corpse, arrived at the "corpse shop" before dawn, and quietly left at night. If you don't catch up with the inn before dawn, you will inevitably encounter pedestrians in broad daylight, and there will be many inconveniences for each other. This is also why only Xiangxi has the business of chasing corpses, because out of the ghost country passed down by the Miao family, the locals have never heard of such a strange thing as chasing corpses, so they don't know how to avoid it, and even come to see the excitement, and see the corpses on this road walking, they must be scared to death.
The paths taken by the corpse chasers are all selected by experienced corpse chasers, and ordinary people are reluctant to take these rugged and difficult paths even in broad daylight. They stopped and went, but they didn't meet a single pedestrian on the road, and after walking in the middle of the night, Xu Xiaoqi and Shao Yuanjie both felt physically exhausted.
At dawn, the sky suddenly drizzled and came, everyone was even more distressed, everyone hurried to walk slowly, turned a bamboo forest and saw that there was a detached stilted building in front of Shanyin, and two white paper lanterns were hung in front of the gate, writing "Xishen Inn". Luo Fatzi told Xu Xiaoqi that this was the "Dead Corpse Inn", and the so-called "Xishen" actually referred to the corpse. Shao Yuanjie and Xu Xiaoqi were relieved when they heard this.
This kind of "corpse inn" only houses dead corpses and corpse chasers, and ordinary people do not live there. Its doors are open all year round. Zhao Ping stepped forward and shouted, and after a while, a middle-aged man with a short figure walked out of the room, grinned, and greeted: "Zhao Laosi, I haven't seen you for a long time." Zhao Ping said: "Boss Tong has a good memory!"
Chen Dafu's expression was wooden, urging Shao Yuanjie to pick the body into the house first. Luo Fatzi, Fishing Rod, and Xu Xiaoqi were also so tired that they couldn't bother to greet each other and entered another house. Everyone put down the corpses on the bamboo poles and placed them behind the two large door panels. Nine bodies stood neatly against the wall in two houses.
At this time, the rain became heavier, and the raindrops the size of beans hit the roof tiles, crackling and crackling. Chen Dafu muttered: "It seems that I can't leave tonight, I passed by this store two months ago, and it was also raining heavily and was delayed for three days!" Shao Yuanjie and Xu Xiaoqi were tired at this time, and they wished they could rest for a day, and they were not sad but happy when they heard this. It turned out that when the corpse driver went out and it was difficult to walk on a rainy day, he would stop in the corpse shop for a few days and nights.
The six of them sat down to rest in the hall, and everyone chatted all over the world. Luo Fatzi is a self-familiar person, informal, he leaned on Shao Yuanjie's shoulder with one elbow, while bragging, foaming at the mouth.
Luo Fatzi saw that Xu Xiaoqi was so tired that his head was drooping, so he made him happy: "Alas, Xiaoqi is born like a 'little fishing rod', but where is the person who eats corpse meals." Look at Xiao Qi and Yuan Jie, Xiao Qi is half a head taller than Yuan Jie, and the two of them are also the first time to drive out the corpse, but Xiao Qi is useless to you!"
The fishing rod echoed: "The Yuan Festival is really good, the first time I drove the corpse, I didn't see him scared." People are interesting enough, and they are a material for driving corpses. ”
Luo Fatzi quipped: "Yuan Festival invites you to drink two taels of wine and eat a few fried peanuts, this is enough fun? The fishing rod grinned.
Shao Yuanjie hurriedly said with a smile: "When I get the first trip money, I must invite everyone to eat and drink." ”
"Tut! You see, people's Yuan Festival is really interesting! Brother, I like to make friends like this!" Luo Fatzi patted Shao Yuanjie on the shoulder, and couldn't help but praise him.
The fishing rod said: "Yesterday when we were having dinner on Luxi Street, we saw a woman sitting in front of the door eating melon seeds, looking very serious, and then I heard the proprietress secretly tell people that the woman was actually a secret prostitute. We'll play it again next time. ”
Luo Fatzi glanced at him, revealing a peeping smile, "Today, someone's bed board should be squeaked and squeaked for ,—— Yuan Festival, and when he sleeps, stay away from the fishing rod, lest he squirt out some dirty water and splash you, haha." Everyone understood and couldn't help laughing. The fishing rod laughed and said nothing.
Luo Fatzi looked at Xu Xiaoqi's slender legs, smacked his lips and said: "Our corpse chaser is actually a foot master, but look at Xiao Qi's calves and stomach, ,—— with fine skin and flesh, and even the muscles have not been graved;
