Chapter 385: Zombie Killing
"Xiangxi drives out corpses, Yin people borrow the way, and the living avoid ......"
"Knock knock!"
Drums and shouts.
Song Che opened his eyes suddenly, turned around and closed the window.
Lin Yue stiffened up with a carp, turned over and sat up from the straw mat, grabbed the sword and came to the window:
"Zombies crossed?"
"Shh......h
Song Che motioned not to make a sound, gently opened a window crack, and used a telescope to find a sound-
Under the moonlight, a team of four or five people shuttled through the woods, the night was too dark, the dense forest covered the eyes, and they could only see a general figure, they wore pointed hats, their arms were flat on their shoulders, and their bodies were straight and straight, just like the zombies in the film and television drama.
"Song Che, you still don't want to watch it, so as not to get into bad luck." Shen Wenjun nervously persuaded him.
This thing, I really can't see it.
Song Che put away the binoculars and was about to close the window, but at this moment, the corpse chasing team suddenly stopped advancing.
The sound of gongs, drums and bells came to an abrupt end.
There seemed to be two figures approaching the station.
"They're coming, they're coming!"
Lin Yue exclaimed in a low voice, shivered, and was so frightened that he retracted back to the bed and pasted with them.
Song Che stood at the window indifferently, the two figures came step by step, they were living people, not zombies.
Song Che raised the binoculars, driven by curiosity, just to see what was going on.
After a while, two figures walked out of the woods, like an old man and a young man, with a green cloth hat and a black belt, carrying a gong and a magic bell, the night was too hazy, and they looked down on the specific appearance, but it should be the so-called "corpse chaser".
The corpse catcher walked to the door of the inn, knocked on the door, and shook the bell, and after a while, the door of the inn opened, and a few oil-paper packets were handed out with one hand.
The corpse chaser took the food and drink, paid the silver taels, and the door of the inn was closed.
The corpse chaser usually works the "night shift", and it makes sense to come to the inn to buy some food and drink to satisfy his hunger.
After buying food and wine, the two returned to the woods the same way, and when they reached the entrance of the forest, suddenly the thinner corpse chaser turned back sharply and glared at Song Che who was probing by the window!
The moonlight only reflected half of his face, his pale face, cold eyes, and strange expression, which frightened Song Che The telescope in his hand almost fell.
Song Che hurriedly closed the window, sweat oozed from his forehead, and his liver was thumping.
"Don't be curious, it's a taboo for people." Shen Wenjun walked over and wiped away the cold sweat for Song Che with a handkerchief, "Look at your face, your face is white with fright...... Are you okay? ”
Song Che took a deep breath and shook his head.
"Jingle Bell ......"
"Knock knock!"
"Xiangxi drives out corpses, Yin people borrow the way, and the living avoid ......"
The gongs and shouts faded away, and the night fell silent again.
That night, several people failed to sleep well.
The next morning, just after dawn, they got up early and planned to leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, a small guy suddenly came to the inn next door, and he exclaimed:
"Official, official, it's not good, it's not good...... The guest officer who stayed at our inn yesterday was bitten to death by a zombie! ”
Hearing the news, everyone was shocked.
The captain opened the door and welcomed the innkeeper in, asking what had happened.
"The villain went to the woods early in the morning to pour night incense, and found that there was a person sitting under the locust tree, and the villain went to check, but what he saw was the guest who came to stay yesterday, he was bleeding from all his orifices, his eyes were suddenly wide open, and his body was full of holes, so terrifying, so terrifying!"
The little guy turned pale with fright.
"Isn't that cloth merchant in his thirties who looks very fat?" Song Che asked.
The little guy nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, that's him!" ”
"What a bad luck!" The pawn scolded: "This guy must have violated the taboo at night and was captured by zombies to suck blood!" ”
Song Che frowned slightly, saying that it was weird and terrifying to drive away corpses, and zombie bloodsucking was simply shocking.
"Is the body moving?" He asked.
Xiao Si said: "I didn't move, and I came to report to you as soon as I found out that the guest died." ”
"Let's go check it out." Song Che said.
The chief hurriedly persuaded him: "Official, if you die, you can hand it over to the government to handle it, this kind of fact is too unlucky, so don't worry about it." ”
Song Che shook his head very firmly,
Although Li Si has no good character, he will not be bitten to death by zombies, not to mention that Song Che saw the corpse team last night, but he was safe for himself.
Zombies kill, ridiculous!
"No, it's a matter of human life, so we still have to go and see."
Song Che asked Shen Wenjun and Qin Ruo to stay at the inn, and he and Lin Yue and a few post guards let the innkeeper take the innkeeper to the place of Li Si's death in the forest.
Li Si's death was even more tragic than the little guy's description, his distorted face must have been frightened by extreme horror, he had two tooth holes in his neck, dozens of blood holes were inserted in his chest, corpse spots had spread on his arms, and the time of death was at least four hours or more.
Four hours ago, it happened that the corpse team was passing by.
Judging from the state of Li Si's death, he was probably scared to death, or was pierced by some sharp weapon and died of excessive bleeding in his heart and lungs.
But definitely not to be killed by some so-called "vampire zombie".
It must have been a murder. Elaborate, man-made murder!
"Boss Li's health is not particularly good, sometimes he has to get up several times a night, and he is likely to be targeted by zombies when he gets up at night to go to the thatched house."
The two young men who followed Li Si to the business said.
But Li Si's place of death was in the woods, about 20 zhang away from the inn thatched house, and the thatched house was in the inn, blocked by a fence.
Li Si was so frightened that his face distorted, indicating that his consciousness was clear before he was killed, and he had also seen the murderer, why didn't he shout?
Song Che had hardly slept last night, and it was so quiet at night, he could hear the slightest noise, but since the corpse team left, there was no other movement.
Li Si has a lot of money on him, so the murderer is not killing for the sake of robbing money.
Love killing?
Vendetta?
There are so many doubts.
Song Che said to the two guys: "Zombies are just a means for the murderer to cover up people's ears, and your master's death is a man-made murder." If you want justice for him, send the body to the yamen. ”
The two guys are subordinates, and they have no way to call the shots, so they can only load Li Si's body into the ox cart according to Song Che's words.
After all, the murder happened in Sanxinggang, the inn and the post station, and the corpse team that passed by last night, everyone including Song Che was suspicious.
Anyway, Song Che and they are going to fight the county seat, this "zombie" incident is too suspenseful and strange, so by the way, they will seek an understanding and truth.
Before the hour arrived, the group set off from Sanxinggang, Song Che and their carriage were in front, the pawn commander took a few post guards to see each other, the two young men and the innkeeper, and the shopkeeper escorted the corpse behind.
Taking advantage of the hurry, Song Che asked the commander about the corpse team again.
I learned that the corpse team often played the three-star post, and it was common to find inns and post stations to buy wine and food.
In the convenience of yin people, they can accumulate yin virtue, and everyone is willing to make it convenient, and sometimes they will not charge money for selling their food.
The corpse team came and went in a hurry, not disturbing the rest of the living, and buying and selling wine and food were also given and left.
Last night, the corpse chaser, the old man is called Jin Qi, and the young man is called Ah Sang, who can rely on this kind of business to eat, is not a strange person or a ruthless person, in ten miles and eight towns, especially in the eyes of the Miao people, this corpse chaser master and apprentice are quite famous.
"Is this Jin Qi and Ah Sang also Miao people?" Song Che asked curiously.
The pawn commander nodded: "Chasing corpses is the custom of the Miao people, and the corpse chasers must be Miao people."
"Hmmm......"
