Chapter 127 Cooperation
Sometimes, if a person wants to die, there is no way for others to stop him.
Because of my cousin's matter, I didn't deliberately avoid calling anymore.
The point is, I am not familiar with each other, and I can't find anyone without calling.
It's just that when I was thinking about how to convince the other party, the other party had already forgotten about me, and even the phone call had been deleted.
Even if I was invited to eat on the pretext of eating, I was refused.
Looking at the phone hung up, I decisively gave up on him.
This gave me more time and the next person I had to save.
People who believe in you, no matter how ridiculous your words are, will still believe you.
Especially when this person is still an old man in the village, this trust will be infinitely magnified.
This time, the target was my aunt, and just by hearing me talk about it, she moved back to her hometown from the city alone, and changed the number of the whole family, leaving only her own phone.
Not only that, but my aunt also called an acquaintance of mine through other connections.
Huang Xiaodong.
Huang Xiaodong is my cousin in the next room, he is in his 40s, although he has not inherited the ability of the Huang family to pick up bones, but because of his own opportunity, he has also become a person in the yin industry.
The corpse chaser is the name of their lineage.
Unlike the bone picker, who often comes into contact with people, the corpse chaser often avoids the living, and is more mysterious than the bone picker, and even I don't know what he is capable of.
When I met him, he did not go back to his hometown in his village to live, but lived alone in Yizhuang.
Yizhuang is the property of the clan.
It first began in the Northern Song Dynasty. , used to support the people, consolidate the clan, and operate in the form of rent and tenant system. There is a house for the clan to live in, and if the house needs to be repaired, they will try to do it themselves.
At the same time, Yizhuang is also a place to provide coffins or bones for temporary uniformity. For example, if the family members of some people do not have arrangements for the funeral of the deceased in other places, or the relatives are so poor that they cannot afford to be buried, they can only be transferred to Yizhuang first and then make plans.
Later, when everyone became rich and built their own houses, the function of Yizhuang gradually lost and is now dilapidated.
The time I gave was very short, and it was very rare for Huang Xiaodong to be able to rush back, and he didn't have time to clean up Yizhuang, but just lived in a relatively complete house on the other side of Yizhuang.
Not only him, but in the small house, there were six figures of different heights standing by the shady wall on one side.
Although there was no special smell, I could tell at a glance that they were corpses.
Huang Xiaodong naturally knew what I was doing, and when he saw that I was curious about the corpses, he said, "These are all abandoned corpses that no one has buried and supported. We've been doing it for so long, and it's inevitable that we'll encounter such problems. ”
In his account, I learned that the corpse chaser was entrusted to send the body to the appropriate place for people to receive and bury, but sometimes, the body was delivered to the place, but the person who received the body was unwilling to receive the body because of an accident or other reasons.
At this time, the corpse chaser needs to dispose of the corpse himself.
Although in this era, such things are rare, even if the body is uncollected, there will be a unified cremation and burial by the public.
However, after more than 20 years, there are still six bodies that have not been disposed of.
Most of these corpses died unexpectedly, and their grievances were very heavy, so they could be used as helpers for corpse chasers, usually placed in the place of gathering yin to recuperate, and when necessary, they would be taken with them.
I asked curiously if these corpses had anything to do with the golden armor, zombies, and droughts in the film and television shows, but Huang Xiaodong just smiled and didn't answer.
Maybe it's a professional secret, so I didn't ask again, but talked about it directly.
Hearing the weirdness, Huang Xiaodong, who was originally relaxed, frowned directly, and didn't believe me at all when I said that ghost fire could deal with weirdness.
For people in the Yin Xing, the strange ability has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is an existence that cannot be resisted.
Even so, Huang Xiaodong did not flinch, but after arranging Yizhuang with me, he invited his aunt to live in Yizhuang.
My aunt is bolder than I imagined, and she has a good relationship with Huang Xiaodong, after all, the two are of the same age, so they should be considered childhood sweethearts.
This has definitely made my job easier.
Time passed little by little, and finally it was time for the ghost call to find my aunt.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the time was not bad for a second, and my aunt's mobile phone rang directly.
The plan had been made before, but the aunt ignored it and sat on a chair surrounded by candles.
And the corpse that had never moved on the side, under Huang Xiaodong's control, picked up the phone a little stiffly.
I didn't turn on the speakerphone, the distance was a bit far, and I couldn't hear the conversation on the phone.
After the corpse hung up the phone, Huang Xiaodong left the corpse in the courtyard, surrounded by four other corpses, and came to me with the youngest corpse.
"I can feel a very special curse wrapped around that corpse, very faint, I don't know if it's because it's the corpse that answered the phone, as for the resurrection you said, I didn't feel it, at least the corpse is not out of my control."
I glanced at the youngest corpse beside him, this corpse was covered in a black cloth, and I couldn't see clearly, judging by his height, he should have only been a child of a few years old.
This corpse should be very special, and Huang Xiaodong has always been with him.
After looking at it, I retracted my gaze and said, "Brother Dong, you pay more attention to that corpse, the ghost call should be coming, wait a minute, or will you strike first?" ”
"Hmm."
Huang Xiaodong made the first move, we have already decided, and when I heard this, I didn't twist it, and returned directly to my aunt.
All the doors of Yizhuang were open, and in many places there were no doors at all, and just when I was wondering how the ghost phone would appear, under the moonlight, a long shadow stretched from the outside of the courtyard to the inside.
I can't see people, only this faintly visible shadow of human form.
The shadow stretched quickly, without any dodging, directly to the feet of several corpses in the middle of the courtyard. Merge with the shadow of the corpse.
The next moment, the shadow that had just merged suddenly separated, and the shadow that extended in suddenly disappeared, and then a heavy footstep sounded in the courtyard.
At the same time, a crisp bell came, and I saw Huang Xiaodong shaking the bell, his eyes as if following something invisible, wandering around the yard.
As the bell sounded, the corpse that had been standing still suddenly shook, and one of them raised his hands in front of him, turned around suddenly, and did not see any bending of his feet, and his whole body flew up directly, jumping more than three meters away.
The outstretched palm pinched the air in front of him, and gradually, a figure slowly appeared.
