Chapter 79: Crossroads

The sandstorm roared, raising layers of sand and soil, blowing so that people could barely open their eyes, and the white rose in front of me, so that I could barely narrow my eyes into a slit.

As the yellow sand closed the sun, the whole village was covered with a black miasma, and it was almost impossible to see the road ahead.

As we approached the crossroads of the village, a line of people faintly approached from the other road, and by the shadows and the sound of gongs, we could probably guess that it was the corpse chaser.

I saw a person in front of him holding a gong in his hand, knocking on it as he walked, and a row of people in the back, wearing a long coat and a Qing Dynasty official hat.

This is a typical corpse chaser procession.

Although I can't see who it is, when I was a child, I watched a lot of zombie movies, and I could think of what kind of scene it was.

Qing Dynasty official clothes, wearing a high felt hat, on the forehead pressed a few pieces of yellow paper with charms on the forehead, hanging down to the gray-white face, the yellow paper face is to control the zombie jump, once the zombie will lose control.

Under normal circumstances, corpse chasers are day and night, why dare to go out on the street in broad daylight, this is too rampant.

Just as I was about to ask why, a bony hand suddenly appeared behind my back and gently gagged my mouth. There was a faint scent of sandalwood on his body, and I had already guessed that he was Gu Yuan.

The sound of the corpse chaser's gong drew nearer and closer, and as I had expected, they were lined up, tied with hemp ropes, and walked past us as if no one was around.

The group of people who rushed to the funeral behind did not know what had happened. Still carrying the white paper money and moving on. The corpse chaser carries the zombies and the mourners almost in a cross.

I couldn't help but worry a little about my mom because she was in the funeral procession.

When the corpse catcher passed by my cousin's coffin, he patted my cousin's coffin gently.

The coffin suddenly became agitated, and it seemed that the corpse inside was frantically slapping the coffin board.

When the people who carried the coffin saw this scene, they dared to continue to carry the coffin, threw the coffin directly on the ground, and wanted to run away.

"Don't talk, when you don't see anything, I'll solve it." Gu Yuan whispered in my ear, for fear that I would be worried and afraid.

After Gu Yuan left, Bai Qi quickly rushed behind me to prevent anything from happening that was unfavorable to me.

After the last time I was robbed of my soul by Hu Qingluan, Bai Qi's vigilance became higher and higher.

I didn't dare to move, for fear of taking a wrong step, not only would I not be able to help, but also make a mess for them, so I could only watch Gu Yuan turn into a silver light and reach the lid of my cousin's coffin.

I saw that with a wave of his arm, all the people in the funeral procession remained motionless, including the six coffin bearers who were about to escape, and crawled around the coffin.

Gu Yuan stood on top of the coffin, dressed in black hunting and flying in the yellow sand, like a hell of a Yama.

The coffin was still agitated at first, Gu Yuan bit his fingers, drew a charm in the palm of his hand, and slapped it on the coffin with one hand. There was a terrible scream from inside the coffin, and a puff of black smoke quickly rose from all around, dissipating with the gale.

However, the corpse chaser did not look back, and continued to walk forward with his corpse chaser team, and the figure gradually disappeared into the yellow sand.

As the corpse chaser vanished, so did the sandstorm settle as if nothing had just happened.

The funeral procession also returned to normal at this moment, and the memory of the person carrying the coffin just now also disappeared, and when he saw the coffin on the ground, he hurriedly stepped forward to lift the coffin again and continued to walk towards the goal. "What's going on?" I was finally able to speak, and immediately asked.

"The corpse chaser is looking for someone, and he wants to take your cousin's corpse back to its roots."

"Fallen leaves return to their roots? How is this possible, my cousin's roots are in our village? Where did he want to take her? ”

"Hasn't your cousin's soul been sent away yet? Ask her and you'll probably find out. Bai Qi said. After we settled everything after my cousin's death, it was almost night.

After sending off some of my cousin's better sisters, I released my cousin's soul.

"Lan Lan, I made you suffer, my cousin is really sorry for you." My cousin had a sad look on her face, and knew that I was not lightly injured, so she hurried forward to check on me.

"Cousin, I'm already well, and I'm really sorry, even if your body and soul are there, I can't bring you back to life."

"Everyone has their own life, I have nothing to complain about, this life is hard enough, I just hope that I don't want to be a man in the next life, even if I am a pig and a dog, it is better than my hard life."

Speaking of this, the cousin sighed deeply, as if she had been relieved, and death might be a way of relief for her.

But she couldn't let go of today's events so quickly, after all, someone almost took her body away.

I told my cousin what had happened at the funeral today, and she was not surprised when she heard it, as if she knew all this.

"Cousin, tell me the truth, are you my aunt's biological daughter?"

My cousin shook her head and said, "I heard my mother say I picked it up." ”

"Huh? Looks like I'm guessing the right thing. "I was so surprised that I couldn't.

"She didn't pick it up, she was secretly given birth to your aunt by a female college student at school back then." I didn't expect my parents to leave and hear our conversation.

Although she couldn't see my cousin, she could hear that I was talking to my cousin, and my mother knew more about what happened back then, and she felt that it was time to speak out.

When my aunt and my aunt-in-law went to work at Xiangjiang University in the city, the couple had been married for many years and had no children, and the aunt-in-law thought that his son was going crazy, so he went to the temple to ask for a son, and at that time an old monk told him that he could adopt a girl and named Daidi, and he would definitely be able to bring a son in a short time.

The aunt worked as a cleaner in the women's dormitory at Xiangjiang University, and she helped deliver the female college birth.

The female student was afraid of being punished by the school and planned to send the child to an orphanage, but the aunt suddenly thought of the old monk's words and felt that this was a godsend, so she adopted her cousin.

Later, the female college student graduated and wanted to get the child back, but she contacted her aunt many times and was refused.

After my aunt had a cousin, I thought about returning my cousin, but I couldn't contact the other party.

After a long time, the foreign ones are not as good as the biological ones, and I know about what happened later.

My cousin hung her head and continued: "Not long ago, my biological mother contacted me, and she hoped that I could go home with her, so I filed for divorce with Zhao Youcai, and Zhao Youcai thought that I had someone outside, so he threw me into the mountains in a fit of rage. ”

"Your mother is from Xiangjiang, isn't she?" Something suddenly occurred to me.
