Chapter 39, the corpse bearer Lao Liu
In the distance, the mountains and forests were covered in black, and the barking of dogs was loud and unknown.
Lu Yue appeared in a farmland, and it looked like it should be a certain village.
"Something happened, the eldest son of the widow's family in the east of the village died, and I heard that the evil was killed in those tributes from the mass grave in the back mountain a few days ago."
A villager ran over in a panic and said to a few people at the entrance of the village.
"Now the corpse is placed at the door of the house, and the widow wants to bury it, but she invited several young men, and no one can lift the corpse, it has been seven days, and the corpse is not rotten and immortal, just like a living person."
"This is a grievance!" A well-informed old man smokes a dry flue.
Several people were talking.
"I have long heard that Widow Wang has someone outside, but the other party has always disliked her ex-husband's son, Widow Wang either beats or scolds this son all day long, and sometimes goes out to fool around for several days and does not come back, so that the child is hungry all the time, there must be something in this."
"I have also heard that the child was not killed by the evil spirit, but by the king's widow."
"I heard that he is going to spend money to invite Lao Liu."
"You're talking about that corpse bearer, Lao Liu?"
"I heard that his son ......"
The name of Lao Liu, the corpse bearer, is well known to everyone in their village.
Lao Liu is a legendary figure, his ancestors have been corpse bearers for generations, and when he arrived at Lao Liu's generation, he was hired by the big man from the city to work in the funeral home, and I heard that the salary was not less than 10,000.
When I encountered this kind of evil thing before, it was right to find Lao Liu Zhun.
Sometimes the money is not charged.
It's a pity that later, the only seedling of the old Liu family was hit and killed by the truck, and I heard that he was not dead at that time, because the truck driver was afraid that the other party would rely on him for the rest of his life, so he simply ran over Lao Liu's son repeatedly.
Since then...... Lao Liu has changed, and even took the time to open a noodle restaurant.
It is expensive to sell.
The people in the village said that Lao Liu had lost his money.
Alone, what do you want so much money for?
When you get old, your reputation is not guaranteed.
The whole village was full of gossip about it.
Soon, a figure carrying a cloth bag came.
It's Lao Liu, the corpse bearer.
The man looked to be in his fifties, with thinning hair, gray sideburns, rickety shoulders, rough hands, and some flour on his clothes.
Even when the villagers greeted him, he ignored him.
Lu Yue frowned and followed.
“……”
Inside the mourning hall.
The widow of the king, who was dressed in flowers, looked at Lao Liu tremblingly.
"Lao Liu, you can help me take a look, this kid has been dead for several days, and his body can't be moved."
"Starving." The corpse bearer Lao Liu Dao.
Widow Wang's face changed and said: "Lao Liu, don't talk nonsense, he obviously ate the tribute on the mass grave by mistake and died, you see his belly, so bulging, this child has been eating like this, I have warned him many times." ”
"The contents of his stomach were stuffed in after death, and he starved to death, he told me himself." Lao Liu, the corpse bearer, pointed to the side and no one in the corner.
A short figure stood aside.
"Hungry...... I'm so hungry......"
The scene was cloudy and windy, and Widow Wang was frightened, and she only felt chills all over her body.
"Lao Liu, I'll give you money, you help me get him away, I beg you."
Lao Liu didn't speak, turned around and sat outside and smoked a dry cigarette, not knowing what to think, and finally stepped into the mourning hall.
"Two hundred thousand."
"Okay, get him away quickly."
It is also strange to say that the corpse that several big men could not carry on their backs, Lao Liu actually carried them.
Some of the daring villagers hid and watched secretly.
I only saw Lao Liu's rickety body gradually disappearing into the darkness.
His back seemed to be dropping something along the way.
Someone went up to take a peek, but they were so scared that they couldn't sleep for days.
Is that...... Bloodstained straw.
It was from the stomach of the corpse.
"Lao Liu is not authentic, he dares to take such an evil business, and sooner or later he will be punished."
"For the sake of money, I don't even want a conscience."
There was a lot of talk in the village.
“……”
"Hungry...... I'm so hungry......"
Lao Liu, who was walking towards the outside of the village, heard a faint voice, and only felt that the corpse on his back was struggling.
Lao Liu's expression did not change in the slightest, and he quickly took out the rope from the cloth bag, which was a meal guy that had been passed down from generation to generation, specially used to bind these corpses.
After tying up, the corpse was indeed quiet.
However, it didn't take long.
The black cat on the side of the road suddenly swept by, and a pair of eyes stared at the corpse behind it.
The sound of a child, as if crying, was eerie and eerie in the empty surroundings.
Keep moving forward, strange things happen one after another.
A few wild dogs kept digging the roadside grave and barked at Lao Liu's back.
A large number of crows hovered in the air, crashing into the trees in unison, and the blood of the crows fell on the corpses.
Cats frightened corpses, dogs dug graves, and blood spattered the dead......
The most feared things in the wild have all happened.
"Uncle...... I was starved to death, can you call the police for me? ”
Suddenly, a boy's voice sounded in the dead silence of the night.
Lao Liu didn't look back, just looked down at the cash in his pocket.
"Can't!"
The corpse on his body suddenly moved, and this sentence seemed to stimulate it.
Boom~
The corpse landed on both feet.
No matter how hard Lao Liu tried, the corpse still didn't move.
Lao Liu was silent and took out a knife from his cloth bag.
Chop off the opponent's legs.
Carrying two corpses and leaving the scene.
“……”
Corpse Bearer.
An ancient profession.
Included on page 14 of the Encyclopedia of Professionals.
In ancient times, there were constant wars, and people who often died in other places were often killed, so the resentment was monstrous, and the corpse would undergo abnormal changes, and at this time the profession of corpse bearer was born.
It is the responsibility of transporting the remains of the deceased back to their hometown.
Carry the corpse master three do not carry it.
The dead man does not carry it, the rope is broken, and the corpse does not carry both feet when it lands.
This is the experience left by the predecessors of this type of profession.
Whenever one of them is encountered, it means that the corpse is undergoing a murderous transformation.
The corpse bearer violated all three taboos, but he still didn't let go.
Knowing that he is dying, he will shoot for money!
The corpse was unwilling to leave and was bound by a rope.
Asking for help was fruitless, and he was cut off both legs.
Lu Yue followed behind him all the way, and saw with his own eyes that the corpse bearer sent him to the funeral home for cremation.
In the crematorium, the chilling resentment rushed into the sky, causing the temperature of the entire funeral home to plummet, like a cold winter wax moon.
The Corpse Bearer stood a few meters away, quietly observing all this.
Afterwards, collect the ashes of the other party.
Just when Lu Yue thought that the other party would return the ashes to Widow Wang.
However, I saw the corpse bearer return to a noodle shop.
Come to the back kitchen.
Lao Liu, the corpse bearer, scooped out some flour from the flour bag, put it into another empty urn, and then placed the real urn on the shelf.
The shelves are somewhat familiar.
Lu Yue had seen it in the memory fragments of the woman covering her face before.
Except for one freezer, the entire kitchen is a dense array of jars on top of the shelves.
At this time, Lu Yue saw that the corpse bearer was writing, and stepped forward curiously.
I suddenly felt my scalp tingle.

A chilling truth emerges.
