Chapter 2: Seven Days of Living Corpses

With a shovel in my hand, I stood in front of the coffin, stunned.

The corpse looked like it hadn't been dead for a long time, and it hadn't even decomposed much on its face, except for a few corpse spots.

His face was exactly the same as my grandfather's, and he was even dressed the same.

But I've never heard of my grandfather's twin brothers.

And I have lived in this house for more than 20 years, going in and out every day, and I have never seen my grandfather digging.

But the corpse in front of him died for no more than five days, when was he buried?

Countless doubts filled my brain.

Looking down at the body in the coffin, and the body of my grandfather on the bed, I even felt a little deranged.

In this coffin there is not only a corpse, but also a book of three corpses and a copper bell.

There are also some things used to chase away corpses.

I squatted on the ground and thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't figure out what was in it.

More things have happened tonight than I have experienced in more than 20 years before.

After being stunned for a while, I took out all the tools in the coffin, and then put my grandfather's body into the coffin.

Regardless of whether this coffin is my grandfather's brother or not, I have to bury my grandfather anyway.

"Grandpa, the conditions of our family are not good, and for your last wishes, you two brothers can make do with it!"

I pushed my grandfather's body into the coffin and closed the lid.

By the time the ground inside the house was back to normal, it was already bright outside.

Seven Shou Gengshen beheaded three corpses, and I finally finished it.

But grandpa, who has always been obsessed with this, can't see it.

Pushing open the door, the yard had returned to its usual appearance, as if nothing had happened last night.

Thinking that the well was full of black strange snakes, I felt sick for a while, and went to the second aunt's house next door to bring two buckets of water to drink.

I didn't tell anyone about my grandfather's death.

I am not sad about his death is fake, but I was instilled with the knowledge of driving corpses by my grandfather since I was a child, which made me accept the concept of birth, old age, sickness and death very early.

Grandpa is gone, and now no one cares about me.

In the summer, when the weather is hot, I set up a small table under the old locust tree, stir-fry two side dishes every day, and drink the beer that has been calmed by the well water.

He still hasn't left the village, but he still remembers his grandfather's will.

If it's okay, I flipped through the Three Corpses Sutra found in the coffin.

It contains a lot of charms and spells that my grandfather never told me, and it looks very magical.

I'm just going to read it as a myth, because there's something in it that's just too bizarre.

There is not only the art of driving out corpses, but also the art of refining corpses and the art of exterminating corpses.

As for what my grandfather said before he died, I remember it even more.

I didn't know what the monster staring at me outside the window was, or what was the danger outside the door that night.

But the words that Grandpa said before he died are some of the sects in our industry.

Needless to say, there are some Maoshan spells in the south, and some disciples in the north who lead the upper body of the Wulu Immortal Family.

And this going up the mountain to drive out the corpse is my vein.

Corresponding to us, it is the one who goes down the mountain to watch the falling yin!

Our vein pays attention to corpses, and if we look at the yin, we can walk the yin and deal with the evil things of the yin soul.

According to my grandfather's words, if I want to deal with the murderous thing chasing me, I must find Guan Luoyin.

But the world is so big, I don't even know if that line has been passed down.

If I want to live, I'm afraid there is still a long way to go.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the time came to the third day of the fifth month.

The wind was a little cool, and it was dark, and I was still sitting in the yard and drinking.

"Old Li Tou, Lao Li Tou, you said that you have been in the village all your life."

"I'm still thinking that I'll take you to the city to enjoy it when I'm out later, but it's a pity..."

I held my glass and kept talking to myself.

I was about to raise my glass and drink it, but I grabbed my wrist with my palm.

The palm skin is white and tender, and the five fingers are slender, which is a hundred times better than Cuihua's hand.

But it's cold, and it's so cold that it gives you goosebumps.

I was so shocked that I fell to the ground with my glass.

When I looked up from the palm of my hand, I saw a woman in a white dress.

The breeze blew the hair of her sideburns, and her pretty appearance was completely a beautiful look for everyone.

I have never seen such a beautiful woman in the village.

Even if I use Cuihua's ten-year life to exchange this woman for my wife, I think it's worth it.

"What are you looking at?" The woman spoke slowly, her voice was very ethereal and cold, and I subconsciously withdrew my palm.

"Ahem, that... Girl, who are you looking for? "When I see such a beautiful woman, she speaks a little unnaturally.

"Looking for Li Laosan, there is a job for him!" The woman spoke again, Li Laosan was my grandfather's nickname.

"You're late, he died a few days ago, I'm his grandson, tell me when you have any!"

I looked at the woman and knew that this was the man my grandfather had said was coming.

The woman didn't say much, just threw a wooden card on the table.

"Go to Qingyuanzhuang to drive a corpse, go to Huaiyi Village, someone will pick you up!" After the woman said this, she turned and left.

I picked up the wooden card on the table and looked at it a few times.

It is written with the name of the corpse owner, the birth date, and the address, which is very detailed.

"Zhao Ertian, Gengyin Dinghai, Bingzi Jichou, Qingyuanzhuang."

Looking at the name of a man, his age is estimated to be almost seventy years old.

I was about to ask about the specifics, but when I looked up, the woman was gone.

I grabbed the wooden sign in my hand and took out the baggage that had been packed up in the house.

Before he died, the old man said that on the third day of the fifth month, no matter what the visitor wanted me to do, I would agree to come down.

His last wishes, I will certainly do.

But I didn't expect that it would be for me to drive the corpse.

Although I have been learning many things since I was a child, I have never practiced them, and I don't even know if those things are effective.

But the matter has already come down, so there is nothing to hesitate about.

The next morning, it was still a little dark, and I left the house with the baggage I had already packed and some dry food.

The people of the village had not yet gotten up, and there was no sound except for a few barking dogs.

It was the first time I had left the village, and I was both excited and a little apprehensive.

In fact, until now, I still feel that the matter of chasing corpses is also hilarious on online novels.

If this had been written in a book, the pretty girl who came to me yesterday would probably be a female ghost.

In the end, I had a little love-hate entanglement, and then I got a ghost bride, and from then on I walked to the pinnacle of life.

I was thinking about it all over my head, and even I felt a little unrealistic.

The Qingyuanzhuang that the woman said last night was not far from us, and it was about seven or eight miles after leaving the village.

There are no big shopping malls in the village, there will be a market every day, I used to follow and go to Qingyuanzhuang to catch the market, and I still remember the road.

The sun gradually rose in the sky, and before ten o'clock, I had already arrived at Qingyuanzhuang.

Today is another big gathering, from the beginning of the village, along the road are set up stalls of vendors.

It's crowded, it's crowded, and it's hard to find someone.

I walked up to a pork stall and thought I'd find someone to ask.

"Boss, let me ask you personally, do you know where Zhao Ertian from Qingyuanzhuang lives?"

I looked at the butcher stall owner, but the boss was slightly stunned when he heard my words.

"What are you looking for him?" The boss asked, his face full of vigilance.

"I'm looking for him something, can you please tell me where he is?" I saw that the boss knew the place, so I quickly asked with a smile.

"Oh, look over there, it's Zhao Ertian who is playing chess under the tree." The boss didn't hesitate, and raised his hand to point to the willow tree at the entrance of the village.

The old man was wearing a loose black coat and stood in front of two old men playing chess, with his red neck constantly pointing.

Looking at the old man who kept yelling, I was stunned.

Watching chess is silent and true gentleman, watching chess shouting and mouthy donkeys.

Looking at the old man's state, he can live for another three or five years.

But I was entrusted by someone to drive away the corpse, and this Zhao Ertian in front of me is clearly a living person, how can there be any such thing as chasing the corpse?

"Big brother, are you mistaken? I'm looking for Qingyuanzhuang Zhao Ertian, the one who passed away recently! ”

I looked at the pork boss and said a reminder.

Who knew that when the pork boss heard my words, he directly brandished the pig-killing knife in his hand.

"You just died, Qingyuanzhuang is only a second Zhao Lao, that is my Zhao Laosan's father, can I still be mistaken?"

The boss roared, and I turned my head to look at the old man under the willow tree, and I was confused.

The old man under the willow tree seemed to notice my gaze, and turned his head to look at me, and reached out to move the hat above his head, with a smile on his face.

Just as he was moving his hat, I saw something that surprised me.

That is, on the old man's forehead, there is a corpse spot!
