Chapter 37: The Corpse Keeper

When the guy heard the order, he immediately grabbed the boss by the collar and slapped him in the head.

The owner of the ancient corpse shop screamed in pain, hurriedly covered his head and opened his eyes, shouting: "Don't fight and don't fight, wake up!" ”

Wu Xie carefully studied his expression and asked, "Where did you get the ancient corpse with the monkey head and snake body outside?" ”

A flash of panic flashed in the boss's eyes, and he hesitated, "Just ...... Then I came from the township to collect it, the snake has been a nest or a family fight, a few cauldrons, whether you are renting Sadi, want to ask Sazi, I don't know. ”

Wu Xie sneered, and raised his chin at the big hairy monkey in the iron cage, "You lie to the ghost, this boiling monkey tomb robbery is actually done by your kid." ”

"No, no, I just picked up that thing from the ravine, and I have to eat a lawsuit to smash the grave, but I don't dare." The boss looked frightened and denied it again and again.

The fat man said angrily: "You don't have anything to do with the fat man, it's not you, why are you raising this big hairy monkey?" ”

The fat man shouted, and the big hairy monkey in the cage, who was originally eating apples carefully, was startled, his fangs bared, and even the saliva and fruit residue squirted out, and he also threw out the fruit that Nie Xiaoba fed it and smashed people.

Nie Xiaoba couldn't dodge and sprayed a stinky saliva, so angry that he stood up and wanted to hit it with a bamboo pole, but it shrank into the corner against the wall, staring at a few people outside with fierce eyes, looking very unruly.

The boss hurriedly waved his hand, "No, that's not a silk monkey, that's actually a silk person, and I picked it up in the mountains." ”

Hearing him say this, Wu Xie turned the lamp over and looked at the "monkey" carefully.

It was found that it looked old, its blue-gray hair was rough and protruding, it was concave and lacked, its face was like flour, its fangs were turned out of its thick mouth, and it looked like a cat-faced old lady in a folk horror story in Bingcheng.

The corner of the fat man's mouth twitched, and he pestled Wu Xie's arm, "I thought that the mountain relatives with the sea monkeys could continue the frontier, it turned out to be an old lady Zongzi." ”

The boss saw that their expressions were not quite right, so he asked tentatively, "Aren't you 110 miles?" ”

The fat man lit a cigarette and grinned, "You don't see your grandfather's nest looks like 110." ”

"No, 110, you beat me, pinched Lao Tzu's shoulder, you are crazy, and your braincase is full of blood?"

The boss suddenly became angry, stood up and glared at Wu Xie and the others, "This is my house, you all climb for labor and capital!" ”

A guy with a little temper came up and punched his head crookedly, "You turtle son, no matter how arrogant you are, Lao Tzu will pay you two ears of feces, so that you can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest!" ”

The boss's arrogance that had just risen suddenly withered, and he covered his head and said: "Since you don't have a silk 110, why do you still want to put monkey corpses in the nest, ouch makes me feel good, don't you want the nest to pay you protection money?" ”

The fat man reprimanded: "Who got your two or three yuan, you honestly confess, you got the dry corpse outside from a long place, and what is the matter with this monkey mother-in-law." ”

"If you don't make it clear today, I'll call 110 immediately and send you to eat labor reform, do you want it?"

"You don't want to be, I don't believe you, you don't look like a good person." After knowing that Wu Xie and they had nothing to do with the police, the boss's expression was much more relaxed, and his voice became quieter.

Seeing that the boss's attitude was loose, Wu Xie imitated the Sichuan dialect and narrowed the distance, "Did you dig out of the Tusi grave?" There are other things in the grave, you big big business, other things are on you, you can open an exhibition to Los Angeles, look at you so poor, you lost other things? ”

The boss's face turned green, and it was obvious that Wu Xie's words had poked his sore feet.

The fat man made persistent efforts, "Are you a guest in this cage?" Looks a bit like a monkey monkey, I look at you a little quirky, a bit of sister and brother love and a bit of cross-species, I call 110 to come, not only say that you sell corpses, but also have to make you immoral. ”

The boss was so angry that his face turned pale, he looked at the four or five young and strong young men around him, his clenched fist was released again, and he muttered: "I am alone, you are seven of you, I can't beat you, you are more to bully less, I know the current affairs for the handsome, I don't want you to fight." ”

The fat man grabbed him, "Quietly Mimi said Sazi, and his voice was amplified." ”

"Mossa Mosa." The boss's expression was sneering, and he lowered his voice and said, "The monkey San'er with the halterhead is not my cousin, to put it bluntly, I don't know if it is a person or not." ”

"The first said that the monkey snake dried corpse, but also I picked it up in the ravine, see it looks strange, I picked it up, but I didn't think that the monkey lady followed me behind me, I was afraid that if it ran out of the chaha people, what should I do, I had to lock it."

Wu Xie saw that he was willing to speak, so he lit a cigarette and handed it to him, "Tell me in detail, there are a lot of words, and I will give you money, which is more than what you have to open this small broken shop for half a month." ”

The boss saw that Wu Xie's expression was not fake, and he was a little moved, and took the cigarette, "Tell you the truth?" ”

"I'll let you go." Wu Xie squinted at him, "We're not 110. ”

The guy on the side took out his wallet and drew two large sheets for him, and for the sake of the red face, the boss finally made up his mind and told the ins and outs of the matter.

To make a long story short, the boss's surname is Luo, his name is Luo Wenbing, a local, since the previous generation, his family has been doing dried corpse exhibitions, and the process is quite complicated.

The dried corpses in front of the display case were still his father's very fierce drama similar to the palace fight, and after a fierce struggle from the other two shareholders of the original large exhibition hall, these dried corpses were taken down at a very low price.

Now the situation has changed, and the original exhibition hall is only left with such a small shop in his hands, but fortunately, the old book is still there.

Because of the good relationship with the local area, this small exhibition shop has not been banned for so many years, and occasionally I come to hunt for curiosity and want to spend a little money to experience the excitement, or filming and so on, and I need to use the corpse, and renting it out is also a part of the considerable income.

And that strange corpse that was different from the other was indeed the one he picked up from the mountain before, and Wu Xie estimated that he had picked it up from some people's hands.

The process is like this, the dried corpse exhibition shop is not visited by many people during the day on weekdays, it is usually closed, and it is only open for a long time on weekends.

A week ago, when the shop was resting that day, Luo Wenbing also heard about the monkey tomb robbery, so he thought about going up the mountain with a few brothers who liked to find some gods and ghosts to see the strange things.

As a result, before I got to the place, it began to rain, and the group scolded and had to hurry to find a place to shelter from the rain.

The rain that day was somehow very urgent, pouring down, the white rain line brushed the head and face, and the road in front of him was not clear, plus it was a grass and muddy mountain road that few people walked, it was slippery, and Luo Wenbing fell on his back and eight forks without paying attention.

When I finally got up from the ground, I found that all the bastards running in front of me were gone, and there was grass on the ground and no footprints could be seen.

Luo Wenbing couldn't help it, the fall made his tail bone hurt, and he suspected that the fall was cracked, so he had to find a big tree that could barely shelter from the rain, limped and carefully moved to the bottom to stand.

The rain kept falling, seeing that the sky was dark, and I didn't see those people looking for people, Luo Wenbing was angry and afraid, this barren mountain and wild mountains, if a wild boar or something came out to bite him, he couldn't reason with Lord Yama.

So Luo Wenbing endured the pain, and with great effort, he finally climbed to the branch of the tree, took off his shirt and pants, wrung the water and put it on again, thinking that he would just work together for a night.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I woke up in the middle of the night and found that the rain had stopped.

There was a gurgling in his stomach, Luo Wenbing remembered that when he climbed up, there seemed to be a wild liba tree next to this big tree, which was almost ripe this season, and the tip of his nose could smell the fragrance, just pick two to fill his stomach.

He bared his teeth and climbed down the tree, climbed up the fruit tree on the side, groped for the branches of the fruit tree on the side, and grabbed two or three and pulled them down.

The sweet juice went down to the stomach, and the mouth secreted saliva straight out, and the hungry insects and gluttonous insects in the stomach were hooked.

The black light and the dim tree couldn't understand, Luo Wenbing could only grope to grab it by feeling, and suddenly pinched a hairy one, which seemed to be a big fruit, and he couldn't pull it off if he wanted to, so he couldn't help but feel strange.

The hunger in his stomach urged him to have no extra mind to care about this, so he simply ignored it, pulled the fruit on the side and ate it vigorously, and finally stuffed his stomach half full, and the sky began to move brightly in the fog.

Frozen by the cold air in the mountains all night, Luo Wenbing's head hurt badly, and yesterday's fall made his buttocks still swollen, and even the top of his waist was numb, so he wanted to go down the mountain quickly.

His legs and feet fell inconveniently, Luo Wen was sweating, and finally climbed down the tree, avoiding the injury and standing against the tree to rest and walk, but he saw something black in the grass behind the tree, and his face was facing him, staring at him all the time.

Luo Wenbing's hair exploded in an instant, and he didn't see what the hell it was, so he grabbed the broken stone under the tree and threw it over, regardless of whether he hit it or not, he turned his head and wanted to run.

But no matter how he ran, he ran until dawn, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself back under the liba tree before, and the black thing hidden in the shadows of the grass was still staring at him.

There was silence all around, and he couldn't even hear a bird's call, Luo Wenbing's heart suddenly cooled, and he thought to himself, he was afraid that he would meet a lonely ghost who fell to death on this mountain in his early years while collecting medicine.

An old man said that the ghost who died was unwilling to die, and he was afraid that he wanted to take away the life of a living person.

This kid is also a strange bone, and he wondered if this ghost who died had no relatives to pay tribute to, and finally saw a panting child, so he wanted to trap him to relieve his boredom.

So he didn't run anymore, he couldn't run out anyway, he was tired to death, so he pulled down a large handful of fruit from the tree two or three meters away from there, put it in three piles, and broke three branches of the same length and inserted them.

Then he chattered and said a series of good things to the ghost who trapped him, promising that the ghost would take someone up the mountain to find his bones and find his living relatives when he returned, or set up a monument for him and burn some paper money on the 15th day of Qingming Festival.

After finishing it, he kowtowed three times in that direction, thinking in his heart that he was so sincere, so why did the ghost have to give some face.

As a result, he didn't expect that after these three knocks, as soon as he got up, he heard a plop behind the tree, and a black crushed thing fell, which scared him so much.

When I looked closely, I found that the thing was the corpse of a half-pulled monkey, and I don't know how long it had been dead here, and its skin was dry and cracked.

Luo Wenbing was so angry, your aunt, he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother for a long time, and all the ringing heads were knocked on this broken brain.

He smoked angrily, and took three or two steps over to check, only to find that the dry monkey corpse was not cracked with skin, but oxidized cotton and linen cloth.

Luo Wenbing was originally eating this bowl of rice, so he could naturally recognize that this corpse was unusual, and while he was surprised, he couldn't help but think of the boiling monkey tomb robbery that had been rumored in recent days.

Could it be that those monkeys dug up the coffin and discarded the ancient corpses inside here at will, looking at the fruit trees on the side, Luo Wenbing felt more and more that it was likely to be like this, monkeys are not fools, how can the dry firewood meat have sweet fruits delicious.

After a closer look, he found that there seemed to be something pressing under the half-dried corpse, so he stepped forward to remove the dried corpse, and saw a long section of the corpse of a python underneath.

In line with the principle of not picking up the white ones, Luo Wenbing took the two halves of the dried corpse, made a basket with the picked tree strips, took them down the mountain, and connected them with strong twine after coming back and placed them in the exhibition cabinet.

Although the descent was smooth this time, he did not forget his promise when he encountered a ghost hitting the wall before, and every day he would put a stick of incense on the dried corpse and put some small fruits and the like.

As for the monkey mother-in-law in the cage, when Luo Wenbing was carrying the dried corpse down the mountain, he noticed movement in the bushes behind him, and turned around several times, and finally found that behind him was a strange thing that was not human, and the monkey was not a monkey.

Granny Monkey's target seemed to be only the ancient corpse in his hand, and she didn't show any intention of attacking Luo Wenbing.

Luo Wenbing was in a hurry to go down the mountain, so he simply didn't care about it, and just followed him until he went down the mountain, but fortunately it was already dark at that time, and no one was noticed when he was wandering down the street behind him.

The reason why Granny Monkey is a person is because Luo Wenbing found that in the middle of the night, this thing would babble like whispering, muttering some very old vernacular in his mouth, and the pronunciation was the same as that of the ethnic minorities here, and he could understand a little bit.

Luo Wenbing also wondered if this monkey mother-in-law would be the "monkey" who stole the Tusi tomb this time.
