014: Corpse

The daylight is deflected and gradually sinks in the west.

Just looking at the time, it was almost dusk. At this hour, no matter how diligent the farmer is, he has to start packing up and preparing to go home to rest.

The so-called sunset and rest is exactly that.

Gu Changsheng stared at the gradually reddening sky outside, his gaze was far-reaching, and his expression was solemn.

Like a thief, he carefully smeared the damp mud on the windowsill and the corners of the doors.

This thing is a natural adhesive that will begin to fit tightly when it dries, and the longer it lasts, the more effective it becomes. It's just relative...... This material is relatively fragile, so it is used less by large households.

But Gu Changsheng only wants to pursue sound insulation now, so naturally he doesn't care too much.

After arranging these things one by one, Gu Changsheng closed the door and closed the door, closed the window and locked the table. To outsiders, he looked like he was overworked and planned to rest early.

However, Gu Changsheng lit a kerosene lamp in the house and hung it on the left and right sides of the room. His father didn't have much left this thing, I'm afraid it will have to be cleaned up tonight.

Now with a solemn face, he took out the tongs from the stove and carried it around his waist like a sword.

At the same time, Gu Changsheng also packed some old clothes into rolls, and finally wrapped them all around his arms.

The feeling of being stuffy and not breathing is really uncomfortable, but the conditions are limited, for the sake of defense...... Now I can only sacrifice some physical feelings.

After completing this series of preparations, Gu Changchang took a breath, stepped forward slowly, and finally got a ...... In front of the figure.

In Gu Changsheng's house, there is now a real person tied up!

I saw that this person was tied up by a finger-thick iron chain, and a dead knot was tied in front of him, and even his two ends were nailed to the side wall.

This thing was borrowed by Gu Changsheng from other villagers, and it was said that it was used to tie up wild boars in the past...... Now it's just a hundred pounds of people, which should be more than enough.

Gu Changsheng pulled the bench with a golden sword, sat down in front of this figure, and his eyes widened like a door god, staring at this iron-blue human face.

Yes.

This man's face was pale, not human. Now, if there were other people present, they couldn't help but scream when they saw it.

Because this is a dead man!

Gu Changsheng didn't know what was wrong, and he actually carried a dead man back home!

想起这档子事情,如今即便是顾长生自己都觉得有些荒诞。 After all, it took a lot of thought for him to quietly move this dead body into the village.

If he accidentally let others see it, he can't tell even if he has a hundred mouths - under the feudal society, the countryside is indeed united. But if someone dies, no matter what he says, he Gu Changsheng can't be clean.

At the risk of causing a commotion and getting a dead corpse, Gu Changsheng now has his own considerations.

He breathed heavily, as if speaking to himself.

"Heartlessness becomes heartlessness, and heartlessness can become a condolence ......"

"The dead corpses in the nightmare have no heart, and their bodies are stiff and can't be broken, which is obviously the appearance of being dead for a long time."

"What does this mean?"

"Does this mean that after losing the heart, people need to go through a series of changes, from one state, too much to another, and finally ......?"

"Turned into the living dead?"

Gu Changsheng's eyes began to reveal a trace of madness, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was very reasonable!

"You lost your heart, and you lost your life after I met you. This is the process of moving from the living to the dead...... You are like a withered tree, and you don't see people, which should be the so-called unintentional. ”

"Then here's the problem."

"From unintentional to unintentional, how long does it take to pave the way?"

Gu Changsheng didn't understand.

So he needs to experiment, he needs to witness.

And the heartless beggar who fell on the side of the road before was the one he had worked hard to tie back to his home!

I have to say that Gu Changsheng's thoughts are very crazy now. But now he is desperate...... After all, with the means of a normal person, he could not obtain effective information at all.

To know.

It's sunset, and it's the evening of July 15......

But there's only twenty-four hours left!

If you don't want to find a way, will you let Gu Changsheng sit still and wait for him to die?

Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng was not only irritable in his heart, but the room was also so dry that it made people's lips pale.

He abruptly got up, paced around the house for a while, and at last went around to the stove, and poured himself with the water he had scooped up in advance.

Sleepless tonight.

Now that he has taken the first step, he must use his own eyes to see if this thing will become the living dead!

Gu Changsheng sat back on the chair and fiddled with the leaky bucket beside him—this thing was his homemade 'little hourglass'.

From filling the bucket with water to dripping dry, it takes about half an hour.

Although this thing is not rigorous, it helps Gu Changsheng to clear the changes in time, so that he can make corresponding records.

After dealing with these things, Gu Changsheng just waited for time to turn slowly.

……

The water is flowing endlessly, and the daylight is fading.

With the passage of time, the light outside has now been completely lost. Although Gu Changsheng's spirit is not tired, it is calculated according to time......

It was about eleven o'clock in the evening.

It has been more than ten hours since the beggar died violently in front of him.

The corpse also went from shriveled and stiff at the beginning, to dehydration at the moment, and even exuded a strange smell of choking.

顾长生知道,这是身体机能停止运转之后,微生物开始分解物质从而散发的气味。

In a nutshell......

The corpse had begun to rot.

Gu Changsheng was not used to it, but he didn't dare to open the window to ventilate, so now he had to endure the disgusting smell and continue to wait.

Another hour passed.

It was nearly early in the morning, and the people of the village were asleep. Gu Changsheng is also a little groggy now, and now his head is hanging down on the back of the chair, and it is the time to pretend to sleep for a while.

He was too tired, and those nightmares and strange things during the day made Gu Changsheng exhausted. Now that he has to stay up late, he is naturally sleepy.

Holding on to the eyelids of the fight, Gu Changsheng finally fiddled with the small bucket of timekeeping. He was thinking about whether he should lie down in bed and take a nap......

All of a sudden.

A bang, like a silver needle, instantly pierced the silence of the night.

This movement was harsh, and it immediately made Gu Changsheng, who was confused, his whole person excited!

What is this sound?

This is the sound that can only be made by the friction and collision of iron chains!

Gu Changsheng stood up suddenly, he was holding a pair of fire tongs, his bloodshot eyes were round, and he was now looking at the figure in front of him.

Then, he saw the shadow tremble.

Whoa......
