Eternal Sand Sea Chapter 4: Corpse Transformation

In addition to a table of eight immortals against the wall in this room, there are also two bamboo chairs with different legs and feet, and the walls are peeling layer after layer of skin as if they have a skin disease.

Lao Li knocked the residue in the cigarette pot along the corner of the table, took out some tobacco leaves from the cigarette pouch and put them into the cigarette pot, and then led them with matches, swallowing clouds and spitting out smoke, and the pungent smell of smoke choked him with a violent cough.

I tentatively said with a three-point belief and seven-point skepticism: "Uncle, what do you think should be done now?" ”

Lao Li Tou slowed down and said, "Boy, tell me the truth, have anything unusual happened in the past few days, have you seen anything unclean?" ”

Because it was Yanni's father who came up with this strange thing, I naturally didn't see anything, so I simply relayed the words he said to me before to Lao Li Tou.

After hearing this, Lao Li Tou put down the dry tobacco bag and stood up, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"It seems that this female corpse is very fierce." He muttered to himself, then suddenly walked up to me and pressed his thumb and forefinger against my eye sockets, rolling my eyelids upward.

"No, no, there is no black line on the upper eyelid, it shouldn't have hit the evil." Lao Li frowned and said, "Boy, tell me the truth, who picked up that thing?" ”

I scratched my head and smiled embarrassedly, saying that it was actually Uncle Pan who asked me to come to him, and I was embarrassed to come in person from the incident ten years ago, so he asked me to do me a favor.

"It's been ten years, this old boy still can't solve his happy illness, you can help me bring him a message, if you want to save your life, come to me tomorrow evening." Lao Li Tou sat down again, picked up the cigarette pouch and smoked it, and told him again: "Tell him to bring a live rooster." ”

On the second day, before I went to find Pan Shun, he came to me early, I took him to the corner and told him what Lao Li Tou said last night, at first he couldn't wipe his face, he shook his head vigorously and didn't want to go, wanting me to talk again to see if I could deal with it for him.

I didn't want to go through this troubled water, and feudal superstition deviated from my original intention, so I told him that this matter could only be solved by myself, and if I didn't go to Lao Li Tou and be angry and couldn't help this favor, I couldn't eat it.

When he saw that I wasn't optimistic, he stomped his foot and said, "Okay!" He went to catch the pheasant, but one last condition was that I should go with him at night, which is to say that I was about to go and find out.

As soon as Pan Shun walked on his front foot, the glasses and the strong man walked out, holding a shovel in his hand.

I asked them how to start today, the activists went to work early in the morning, and Qiangzi said that the leaders of the town were going to come down for a meeting in the past two days, and it happened that the heavy rain washed away the road again, and the big guys had to go to fill in the mud pit.

To say that we are comfortable in the village on weekdays, that is, to do some idle work of carrying water and chopping wood, it doesn't matter if we earn work or not, anyway, no one is watching, and the neighbors help each other from time to time, and the life is quite comfortable, but this leader is not easy to talk about, if you stay for half a month to investigate the situation door-to-door, maybe you really give us the hat of "eating pie".

"Huazi, where did you go last night? Why didn't I see you when I woke up at night? As we walked, the glasses suddenly asked.

"Looks like you're going to have to wear another pair of height glasses, you can't even see a living person like me lying on the ground." I didn't dare to look at each other.

"That's it, where else can he go at night, I always tell you not to read those unnutritious books, your eyes are polluted!" Qiangzi thought that I didn't dare to go out alone at night, and I must have been dazzled by my glasses.

The glasses wiped the lenses with a sigh and muttered, "This is not clear......

As the saying goes, men and women are not tired of working together, and from a distance, I saw that Yanni and Fang Qing were already working hard, most of the two of them were wet as if they were fished out of the water, and our three old men were still swaying and walking, Fang Qing saw us and shouted urging, we rushed to meet us, her password was better than that of the village chief.

After a long day's work, the potholes on the road were finally filled, and I was already exhausted and panting, thinking about flushing the bucket of cool mountain spring water, but I caught a glimpse of Pan Shun standing on the ridge and waving to me, carrying a pheasant in his hand.

I'm really afraid of something, what I'm most afraid of in the past two days is to see him, I don't think it's a ghost pestering him, but he is haunting me like a ghost.

I hurriedly ran over while they were chatting: "Uncle, can you greet me openly next time, this is like an enemy." ”

"Brother, I'm not afraid that others will misunderstand, I can't stay when the time is almost up, let's go now." He was a little embarrassed and laughed.

I cleared my throat and deliberately shouted to Qiangzi: "Qiangzi, you go back first, Uncle Pan and I will pluck chicken feathers and add food to you at night!" ”

After hearing the sound, Qiangzi stood up and found our direction, looked at the pheasant in Pan Shun's hand and said excitedly: "Okay, get it early, I'll wait in the house!" ”

"Okay, you eat some pimple soup mats first." I went back and thought to myself, I was afraid that he couldn't wait for this chicken, and that he might not be hungry.

Hadron nodded again and again, put on his glasses and walked back.

Pan Shun and I walked around the field stalk to Lao Litou's house, and by the time he turned around, it was already dark that day.

Lao Li Tou should have known that we were coming, the door was left with a crack, I led Pan Shun straight into the back room, but I didn't expect that Lao Li Tou's originally empty table was full of objects, scissors, porcelain bowls, incense candles, paper ingots, and a ball of red rope.

Pan Shun and I looked at each other and didn't know what the situation was, Lao Li Tou walked out of the stove room, dragging a burlap bag in his hand.

"Uncle Li, what are you doing here?" I asked.

Lao Li didn't squeak, put all the items on the table into the bag, and then opened the bag and said to Pan Shun: "Put the chicken inside." ”

Pan Shun felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly put the pheasant in without words.

"Let's go." Lao Li tied the mouth of the bag, jumped a word, and walked out of the house.

Although Lao Li Tou is old, he still strides when he walks, and he is a middle-aged man in a blue coat looking at the sky from behind.

I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, but now it's getting dark, where is this going to take us, and I asked as I followed.

Lao Li couldn't stop and replied: "Go up the mountain and go find that fierce ghost!" ”

Goose Mountain is a small hill close to Jilian Village, from this mountain over is the other two adjacent villages, because the road often has to go around the mountain to go more than a good mile, so the villagers are basically walking on the mountain road, this forest I have carried the water many times, but I have never seen a piece of land standing a lonely grave monument.

Pan Shun led the two of us to walk in the forest along the signs he had made before, and the first distance was very familiar, that is, the section of the road I usually walked, and the ground had been trampled by pedestrians into a path that was very easy to recognize.

But walking was wrong, he was supposed to go in the direction of the right, but he jumped from a one-meter-high stone cliff on the left, although he couldn't see clearly in the night, but he could still vaguely see the tall wild grass swaying.

When I jumped down from above, the wild grass was almost to the waist-level place, I and Lao Li Tou followed him one after the other and slowly probed forward in the grass, the grass on both sides of the grass from time to time was aware of the movement of Suosuo, what made me nervous was not wild boars and other beasts but reptiles such as snakes, the wriggling body I looked at and was frightened, afraid that it would really come to my feet to take a bite.

"It's here!" Pan Shun, who had already walked ten meters away from us, turned around and called, and when we got to us, we really saw a pit the size of a water tank under a thick white fruit tree.

I poked the kerosene lamp into the pit, and it wasn't deep, but the dirt was strange, as he said, it was red, like blood.

"Master Li, I just dug up the gold piece from here." Pan Shun spoke first to talk to Lao Li Tou, obviously he didn't care about any facelessness at this time.

"Hmm." Lao Li stared at the dirt pit and answered, then squatted down and took out a handful of mud and sniffed it with his nose: "The corpse qi has already soaked into the soil, even if you don't encounter it, sooner or later, the corpse will be transformed." ”

I thought it was a problem caused by Pan Shun digging out the gold piece by mistake, but I didn't expect that this corpse gas had already leaked out, and Pan Shun helped by mistake.

At this time, a sudden gust of evil wind blew, which made the forest rattle, and this wind blew on my body was extremely cold, and I suddenly got goosebumps on my body.

"Uncle Li, let's not come here for sightseeing, what should we do next?" I saw that Lao Li Tou was still studying this pit, so I asked anxiously.

Lao Li Tou was not in a hurry, and asked me to take out the red rope from the sack and do it according to his method.

I hung the kerosene lamp on the branch of the tree, took out the red thread in the bag according to the instructions of Lao Li Tou, tied one end to Pan Shun's middle finger, and tied a wooden stick to the other end and stuck it in the pit, and Lao Li Tou held the rooster and cut it from its throat with scissors, and dripped the chicken blood on Pan Shun's middle finger, and the blood flowed down the finger to the red rope, and then dripped along the red rope to the wooden stick inserted in the pit.

Another gust of wind blew in his face, and it was much stronger than before, and Pan Shun somehow stood there sobbing.

"What do you see?" Lao Li asked Pan Shun.

Pan Shun sobbed and replied, "Woman, woman in blue." ”

Hearing this, my body seemed to be crawling with ants, numb and numb, and cold sweat poured down my back.

"Again?" Lao Li asked again.

"Dead, hanged on a beam!" Pan Shun suddenly shouted out at the top of his throat.

Now I can't do it at all, the little courage I have left is all scared away, and at this time I just want to slip away, this kind of scene is not what I should see.

I began to be in a trance as if drunk, only to see Lao Li Tou neatly took out the porcelain bowl from the bag, and then poured the paper ingots into it and burned it, and burned three incense sticks and bowed and inserted them next to the bowl.

Then I heard a woman's laughter, a very strange laughter, which was so harsh that it was like singing a big opera.

Fortunately, Lao Li turned around and glanced at me, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he stretched out two fingers and drew a circle in the burning bowl and dotted it at the center of my eyebrows.

"I'll just say that you can't go out at night because of your heavy yin, so you won't bump into it." Lao Li Tou opened his mouth, and unhurriedly sprinkled a handful of red clay into the bowl.

The red clay mixed into the burning dark paper, and a puff of black smoke mixed with hot air instantly rose, and the inside of the bowl crackled and cracked.

"Grandma, you still refuse to leave after receiving the money, you have to shovel it for you!" Lao Li scolded the bush in front of him, and then shouted at me, "Boy, bring the kerosene." ”

I had come to my senses at this moment, and quickly removed the kerosene lamp hanging from the branch and put it in Lao Litou's hand.

I saw that he smeared a little rooster blood with the middle finger of his right hand, and then shook the fingertip dipped in blood on the wick, and the flame was drawn to his finger, and then he reached under the red line and burned the rope.

As soon as the red rope broke, Pan Shun fell to the ground on his back as if he had been pushed hard, and this fall also made him sober up, looking around and asking what happened.

Before he could reply, the broken red thread suddenly looked like a long foot and was about to drill into the dirt pit, and Lao Li quickly grabbed the tail of the rope and wrapped it around his wrist.

"Boy, are you still not a child?" Lao Li asked while pulling his wrist backwards.

"What do you say? I'm not you, you're not? I seriously retorted that I was a well-educated intellectual, and even though I had talked about it in middle school, how could I have committed such an immodest act.

"Pee, pee at the hole!" Old Li Tou returned.

I was really startled, I even avoided the hadron glasses on weekdays, but now I was asked to pull out a gun in front of these two old men, and there was a ghost who didn't know if he was nearby, how did I pee out.

"No, no, no, I can't pee." I don't agree.

Lao Li Tou snorted a little annoyed, the red rope in his hand was getting tighter and tighter, and through the oil lamp, you could see that the meat on his wrist was cut into pieces like a bundle of pig's trotters.

"Mali, I can't bear it!" Lao Li Tou shouted, his hand jumped forward, and the whole person fell to the ground.

At this time, I didn't know what to do, although it was a hundred reluctant, but the form in front of me was very bad, I gritted my teeth and ignored the three, seven, twenty-one, and quickly took off my pants and opened the gate to release water at the mouth of the pit.

Fortunately, I drank most of the mountain spring water during the day, and I already had some urine, but this time it was like a flood, and I really couldn't contain it for a while.

The puddle filled with urine kept bubbling, and the red rope that had been pulled suddenly loosened, and the wooden stick that had been inserted in the soil also loosely popped up.

"Stop, stop, his grandmother's splash is all over my face, bah......" Lao Li Tou hurriedly stood up and wiped his face with his gown while spitting, his expression was very painful.

Pan Shun didn't dare to step forward, put his arm on my shoulder, tiptoed into the pit and said, "Uncle Li, is she soaked to death?" ”

Lao Li Tou snorted and said that there is some trouble now, this resentful ghost is too heavy to be able to control it for a while, so he can only force her back first, at this time it is not too early, and there is no benefit in delaying it, so I have to wait for the dawn to talk about it.

I thought at first that things were settled by Lao Litou, but I didn't expect it to be a delaying tactic, I waved my hand again and again and said that I won't give the two of them a play tomorrow anyway, this life is scared off half of it, I'm afraid that it will not be able to raise a month.

Lao Li looked at me and patted his shoulder, and said with a wicked smile: "I said that you are easy to bump into your yin qi, and now that we have met, can the ghost baby let you go?" ”

If I was poured a basin of cold water, my heart was cold, and I didn't expect that doing good deeds would also lead to fire.
