Xu Xiaozi is sixty-four years old, but he has been chasing corpses for thirty-seven years, and he can be regarded as an old qualified corpse chaser. He has been walking in the middle of the night in the deep mountains and old forests on the damp mountain road, but now his body and bones can no longer adapt to the terrible mountains and dew, and his old arms and legs suffer from severe rheumatism.

When he was young, he Xu Dwarf was so vindictive with others, and he loved to be in the limelight in everything, but now he has taken his reputation lightly, and he thinks that the few brothers who debuted together with him have become ancient, and he did not snicker because of this final victory.

My wife went to the underworld nine years ago, as a corpse chaser, he has seen a lot of knowledge in his life, and he has not had too much sorrow, and the people and things in the past are like dreams and dew, and he only feels empty and lonely for the ruthless passage of time.

The coughing sound of apprentice Chen Dafu came from outside the door, and he smiled silently, gathering his thoughts that came to him. Intentionally or unintentionally, he pouted, folded his hands behind his back, and squinted at the young man with an unfathomable and profound gaze.

"Teacher Xu......" Shao Yuanjie's voice was a little uneasy, and he didn't know exactly whether he was willing to be liked by the old man or not, and there was a sense of resignation.

"Originally, you were three months away from turning seventeen, and it didn't conform to the rules of my business—" Xu Xiaozi said slowly, "We must be at least seventeen years old in this business," but it should be okay to see that you are so tall. ”

The old man spat on the ground, recalling that he almost didn't eat this bowl of rice because of his short stature, and later thanks to the master's exception.

Xu Xiaozi looked at the young man again, and muttered in his heart: "Age aside, your external conditions are not suitable, -- it is good that the people who eat our food should be ugly, but you are a handsome young man." ”

It is important to know that corpse scavengers are a very mysterious profession, and for the layman, there are many secrets that cannot be told to others. The appearance of the corpse chaser should not be better, because this will make people easy to get close, and too much contact will prevent the corpse chaser from doing some shady things.

On the contrary, it is better to choose a corpse chaser with an ugly and terrifying appearance, so that people can be both respectful and fearful. But this layer of window paper cannot be pierced, and once the secret is pierced, it is worthless.

The old man imagined in his heart the voice of his apprentice Xie Yong, who had just died, and sighed: "Your uncle has been with me for almost twenty years......" After being in trouble for a long time, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and said: "The Buddha is destined to be a person, so let's follow the rules left by the old ancestor." ”

He instructed Chen Dafu to take Shao Yuanjie to the center of the courtyard dam and told him to stand facing the afternoon sun.

Shao Yuanjie was secretly happy in his heart, he had heard some interesting stories from his uncle in the past, and knew that this was to let him look at the sunlight for a while, and then his body would rotate for a week and then fall to the ground, the master would ask him about the east, west, south, and north positions, if it was correct, it would mean that he had a strong sense of orientation and could adapt to walking on mountain roads at night without stars and moons; if he couldn't tell the direction correctly, he would not be the material for the corpse chaser.

He had practiced many times as a kid for fun, and the test was a breeze. Sure enough, after he closed his eyes and lay down on the ground of the courtyard, the old man asked him to the east, and he pointed to the east with his finger when he asked him the west, and passed the special examination of this sense of orientation relatively smoothly.

Xu Xiaozi remained silent, took a sip of the eagle tea handed over by his apprentice Chen Dafu, and said, "Dafu, you go up to the grave mountain behind after dark today, and put a 'letter of entry' and a paulownia leaf on that grave of Miss Feng. ”

Chen Dafu didn't say anything, but just took the teacup handed over by the master and put it on the table of the Eight Immortals.

Xu Xiaozi coughed, stared at Shao Yuanjie and solemnly said the last test of the entrance: "Listen, you have to go up to the grave mountain alone at midnight tonight, take this paulownia leaf and this 'entry letter' back and give it to me." Only in this way can you prove that you have the guts to chase away corpses!"

Shao Yuanjie lay on the straw mat with his hands on the pillow, and looked at the sky outside the window from time to time. In the countryside, the sun rises and the sun sets, and in order to save lamp oil, I fall asleep as soon as it gets dark. Shao Yuanjie couldn't help but think about it in the dark, and estimated that the time was almost up, so he got out of bed.

Shao Yuanjie gently closed the two doors of the house, and the lantern in his hand shone on the two door gods, Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong, and his heart was touched.

He put the lantern on the ground, clenched his hands into fists, and made three gestures towards the two legendary heroes, Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong. The heart said, "Ask the two great heroes to appear and lend me a heroic liver and gall! Help me go to the grave alone tonight!"

After saluting, he looked at the big eyes of the two heroes for a moment, and seemed to really borrow the courage of the big hero, turned around and strode towards the grave mountain.

In the past, every time Shao Yuanjie's uncle returned home after driving out the corpse, he always liked to tell some comments he heard outside to a few dolls in the family.

However, my uncle had never read a book, and his eloquence was very poor, and every time he finished telling some stories of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", he would only stupidly comment on the sentence "Wei Chigong is very brave!" and "Qin Shubao is very righteous, so he has many friends." ”

Because of listening to his uncle's stories since he was a child, Shao Yuanjie was full of admiration for these heroes who were "very brave", "righteous" and "had many friends" in his little heart.

At this moment, Shao Yuanjie was carrying a lantern and walking alone on the yellow mud path of the tomb mountain. There's a heroic complex that's going back to the heart, so I'm not so afraid.

A cold moon in the sky was hidden by clouds from time to time, and the four fields were silent, with dark shadows, as if ghosts were following him, and the shadow of a female ghost kept appearing in his mind, making his hair stand on end.

In order to strengthen himself, he hummed the Miao family's love song "The Lover at the Foot of the Eaves":

The moon bends to shine in the sister's room,

At the foot of the eaves will be a lover,

The mother asked her daughter what was the sound?

Weasel jumping off the eaves.

Lang learns birds in the mountains,

Sister beckoned in the house,

The mother asked her daughter what a child,

Embroidery tired stretch waist.

Walked up the mountain, walked through several hills, entered a black pine forest, suddenly heard the sound of people in the forest, Shao Yuanjie center Liliu, stop to observe the movement.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "Alas!" in the darkness, and then the fallen leaves on the ground made a loud noise, Shao Yuanjie was shocked, and hid behind a big tree to peep-

Dou heard a voice and asked, "Who is it?-" Shao Yuanjie heard it clearly this time: it was a young woman's voice, probably the woman found the red light of a lantern behind the big tree. Shao Yuanjie's measures were uncertain for a while.

After a while, another person came down the slope, holding a small orange lamp in his hand, and said strangely: "Look at you so carelessly......" Shao Yuanjie used the faint light of the small orange lamp to see clearly that the young man turned out to be Xu Xiaoqi from Peach Blossom Village!

His mind was racing: The young woman who asked him earlier must be Xu Xiaoliu! He was surprised and delighted in his heart, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, stepped forward and said, "I was startled just now, it turned out to be your two sisters and brothers!"

The sisters and brothers of the Xu family were surprised to see that they were neighbors Shao Yuanjie, and they were half-baked with each other.

Xu Xiaoliu sat on the ground, holding his left ankle with both hands and his left foot bare, apparently falling off his shoes when he rolled down the slope earlier.

Shao Yuanjie saw her fat orchid trousers rolled with white lace. The white calf neck and delicate feet under the trouser tube are heartbeating. Xu Xiaoliu's body, which he had "seen" during the day, flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly diverted his gaze.

Xu Xiaoqi was full of suspicion: "It turned out to be Brother Shao! What are you doing here?"

Shao Yuanjie didn't answer this, but asked the other party strangely: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Both sides refused to answer the truth, Shao Yuanjie saw that the sister and brother wanted to leave, his mind was excited, and he hurriedly said: "I can't hide it, because I want to worship Teacher Xu as a teacher and learn to be a corpse chaser, Teacher Xu in order to test my courage, specially asked me to come to this tomb in the middle of the night to retrieve two entry tokens......"

The sisters and brothers glanced at each other, and Xu Xiaoqi wondered, "Do you say that you want to worship Teacher Xu as a teacher?!"

Shao Yuan nodded and smiled slightly.

Xu Xiaoqi said suddenly: "It turns out that everyone is a person all the way!--I am also like you, I want to worship Teacher Xu as a teacher, and we are also here to get tokens!"

Shao Yuanjie said, "Oh, but when Master Chen took me to see Teacher Xu today, I didn't see you there." ”

Xu Xiaoqi asked, "You were introduced to Teacher Xu by Master Chen?"

Shao Yuanjie said: "Yes, my uncle and Master Chen are both apprentices of Master Xu, and Master Chen is my uncle's junior brother. Who did you refer you to?"

Xu Xiaoqi said: "I was recommended by Master Zhao, and Master Zhao is also Teacher Xu's apprentice. ”

Shao Yuan nodded: "It turned out to be Master Zhao." ”

He heard from his uncle that Mr. Xu had accepted a total of four apprentices: the eldest apprentice had not washed his hands for many years, the second apprentice was Shao Yuanjie's uncle, the third apprentice was Zhao Ping, and the fourth apprentice was Chen Dafu.

Shao Yuanjie glanced at Xu Xiaoliu and wondered, "Is this sister of yours also like you......" He hadn't heard of the words that there were still girls in Xiangxi who were corpse chasers.
