Chapter 10 Collection of Bodies
The girl the old smoker said was naturally the young lady in my dream.
But if I could marry her, I would definitely not refuse.
It's just one yard to one yard.
I was surprisingly calm.
He pouted and said, "That's my dream." ”
"I can't marry if I want to."
But the old smoker glared at me and said, "Why can't you get married?" ”
"The letter of appointment is down, and the eight sedan chairs, the high-headed horses, the phoenix crowns, and the children are all ready for you."
"Marrying her is just a matter of words!"
When I heard this, I laughed at once, but I couldn't laugh anymore, because I suddenly remembered the red paper that the old smoker had given me, and on which I was drawn was, if I remember correctly, the things he was talking about.
After a pause, I looked at the old smoker with a little weakness: "Really? ”
The old smoker took another puff on his cigarette, and after glaring at me again, he said, "Even before you marry that girl, you still have a lot of things to do, and if you can't do it, you two will have no fun." ”
"When the time comes, the letter of appointment will be able to return it to you."
I asked, "What's the matter?" ”。
But the old smoker didn't answer me again, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and after saying something that I would know in the evening, he closed his mouth and said no more.
I wondered even more.
But I also know that the old smoker doesn't say anything, and he won't say it no matter how much I ask, as it has been several times before.
And after that, the old smoker really didn't pay attention to me anymore.
He sat with me at the entrance of the village.
He smokes, and I giggle and tease the dog.
It wasn't until the evening that he patted his ass and walked into Niang'er Village again.
But this time, his expression was much more solemn than the previous times.
So much so that I followed him, I felt a little depressed, and I didn't dare to breathe, and I don't know if I was subconsciously afraid, anyway, I was a little weak.
In addition, the thought of going to collect Liu Ming's corpse made my heart beat even more.
When I finally arrived at the door, the old smoker directly asked me to take out the brazier, and without waiting for me to burn the paper money, he took out another piece of red paper from his pocket as soon as possible.
This time there are two coffins on the red paper.
The two coffins are one black and one white.
After the red paper was burned, the old smoker looked at me and said, "Let's go." ”
"Look at it."
I subconsciously asked, "Collect the body?" ”
The old smoker didn't sloppy with me again this time, and nodded after taking a puff of his cigarette.
Seeing him nod, my mood suddenly became a little complicated, and I didn't know what to say after the old smoker.
After walking for a while, the old smoker stopped.
There were also two more coffins in front of me, as well as two figures.
The coffin was black and white.
The black one stopped in front of the room where I saw Zhuang Yue hang himself.
The white one stopped in the other room opposite the door.
As for the two figures.
One is Zhuang Yue, and the other is Liu Ming.
It's just different from the hanged Zhuang Yue I saw last time, although Zhuang Yue who appeared in front of me this time was also bloody, he was not hanged, but stood next to the black coffin, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he looked like he was out of breath.
And Liu Ming became Zhuang Yue at the beginning.
He was hung under the eaves, and his lower body was also bloody and miserable.
I looked at them and the two coffins, took a deep breath to stop my legs from trembling, and then asked, "Are they really dead?" ”
The reason for this question is really because Zhuang Yue died and came back to life vividly.
However, the old smoker didn't answer me, just looked at the two coffins and the corpses of Zhuang Yue and Liu Ming, smoking a cigarette while seeming to think about something.
It took him a while before he looked at me and said, "Open the coffin." ”
After speaking, the old smoker walked to Liu Ming's corpse, stretched out his hand to untie Liu Ming's corpse, and then carried Liu Ming's corpse to the white coffin.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to walk over and push the lid of the white coffin open.
The next moment, however, I was stunned.
For I saw a man lying in the white coffin.
And that person is exactly the same as Liu Ming carried by the old smoker.
I just felt my leg go limp, and I collapsed on the ground.
But the old smoker didn't seem to see it, and threw Liu Ming's body directly into it, then clapped his hands and looked at me and said, "Did you pee your pants?" ”
When I heard this, I immediately became anxious and said, "Don't you see that there is another one inside?" ”
Saying that, I don't know where the courage came from, so I got up directly from the ground and walked to the white coffin to scoop up the body of Liu Ming, who had just been thrown in by the old smoker, and then pointed to the bottom of the coffin for the old smoker to see.
The old smoker looked at it, and his brow furrowed tightly.
It took a long time for him to speak, "Let him go first." ”
I realized that I had just let go of my hand.
The old smoker closed the lid of the coffin with his hand, and then looked at me and said, "Go ahead and open the coffin!" ”
This time, the old smoker's voice was obviously much heavier, I wanted to ask, but the old smoker had already walked to Zhuang Yue's corpse again, although I had a stomach full of doubts, I could only continue to walk to the black coffin and push the coffin lid open.
There is no doubt that in the black coffin, I also saw the second Zhuang Yue.
I looked at the old smoker and said, "There's one here, too." ”
The old smoker didn't answer me, and after throwing Zhuang Yue's body in his arms, he directly covered the coffin, and then silently lit the cigarette stick.
After taking a puff, the old smoker looked at me and smiled bitterly and said, "This is a problem." ”
I also have some scalp tingling.
"Why are there two?"
The old smoker shook his head.
"It's not two, it's one."
"It's just that you see two."
I was stunned for a moment, even more confused.
The old smoker pointed to my eyes and said, "It stands to reason that you have obtained the eyes I asked for from the City God, and what you see now is the real Niang'er Village." ”
"But if I'm not mistaken, there is nothing changing in Niang'er Village in your eyes now."
I nodded.
The old smoker took another breath.
"There are only two possibilities."
"One is that the Niang'er Village you see is the real Niang'er Village, and what I see, including what they see, is fake."
"But it's very unlikely."
I pursed my lips and wanted to refute it, but I didn't know how to refute it, after all, the current Niang'er Village is indeed too weird, so weird that I began to wonder if the dry village I had seen for more than ten years was real.
And now the bodies of Zhuang Yue and Liu Ming are in front of them.
There is no one else in Niang'er Village now except for me and the old smoker.
There's no way I'm going to kill them.
The old smoker is always with me, and naturally there is no way.
So even if I can't figure it out, I know there must be something strange about their deaths.
What's more, the bodies of these two people are still two now.
This makes it even more unclear.
"And what about the second possibility?"
The old smoker took another puff of his cigarette, and his tone became heavy.
"Lord Chenghuang may have set his sights on you."
