One hundred and fifty-two, the corpse chaser
When the lady saw that it was the right meal, she left him for breakfast, and asked the ladies to prepare some dry food and water. The lady sent it to the door and instructed: "Their work is done at night, and the guests should be careful." ”
Chen Lu thanked him, led the horse out of the gate, muttered a few words to the big green horse, got on the horse and rushed north along the official road, and by noon he had walked more than a hundred miles, dismounted and ate some dry food, rested for a while, rode the big green horse and took off, stopping in a small village.
The sun is already about to set, and Chen Lu knows that the dog brothers must have a reason to fall here. Chen Lu took a look, there was a person standing over there, and asked. He said that this place is called Yundian, and there are not many households.
Chen Lu asked again, is there an inn here. The man looked back and forth and asked, "What about your work?
Chen Lu was a little confused, and said, "What kind of work? My old man just wants to live in the hotel, and he can't live without work?"
The man smiled and said, "It's the first time for the guest to come here, right? No wonder, we are here in Yundian, and these families are all doing this, so the name of this place is called Yundian." ”
Chen Lu still didn't understand, got angry, and said: "Isn't Yundian also an inn? What kind of logic are you, isn't a white horse a horse? Bullying my old man is uneducated?"
"The guests are wrong, this is the inn, but the reception is a guest with a job. ”
"Why are you talking so much, who is it?" Chen Lu was really angry.
"The mage who brought people home. ”
Chen Lu was angry and funny, and said, "You just said that you just received corpse chasers, but as for going around like this, why is it full?"
"It's not good for outsiders to stay full, not to mention that we are afraid of being frightened. ”
Chen Lu knew in his heart, they were out day and night, and maybe there was really something unseemly. Of course, these have nothing to do with him, he is asking for an antidote.
Chen Lu asked again: "When will they leave?"
"Just get up and go. ”
Chen Lu nodded, thanked him, turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "Let me ask, how can there be so many corpse chasers, where are so many dead people?"
This man thought that he was too straightforward, and "corpse chaser" and "dead man" were taboo words, but the blind copper coin suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said, "Does the guest know about the Black Death a few years ago?"
Of course, Chen Lu knew, but more than 30 years had passed since this incident, and a large-scale plague had occurred in the west, and it was said that no less than 10 million people had died.
The man said, "Guest, many of us here died in the west, and many nations blamed each other for the disease, and the land was barren and there was no food, which caused war. Over the years, we have been conquests, and our people have suffered there. No, the war is basically over, and those who are rich in the family begin to hire people to bring work back. Of course, there are also some people who have died in a foreign land. ”
After hearing this, Chen Lu nodded and sighed. Since ancient times, war is the most ominous thing, plague and war, is the great enemy of the ten directions of the world, plague is a natural disaster, and war is a man-made disaster.
Chen Lu felt that his burden was heavier, no matter how difficult it was, he would definitely arrive at Harlie on time and never let the tragedy happen again. Chen Lu thanked him, went to the village and waited, and waited for the time to make a reason.
When the time came to get up, Chen Lu led the big green horse to a hidden place, and when the bell rang, he saw a team of corpse chasers coming over.
Chen Lu usually only heard about it, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, and he thought, how many people in the world can see it with their own eyes? Maybe only people who have been engaged in this industry have seen it. Chen Lu saw that it was a small car at the beginning, with a big flag on it, and it was written in the Western Regions "Master Sama".
Chen Lu was overjoyed, this was exactly what he was looking for, he patted the big green horse in a friendly way and praised him. He saw all kinds of ghost talismans painted on the flag, and the car was also full of small flags with ghost talismans.
Chen Lu looked behind him again, he was stunned, his hair stood on end, and what followed him behind the car was a tall body, wearing a wide robe, with a white veil hanging on his face, with talismans pasted on it, this body stretched out his arms and walked forward with one jump and one jump. Each hop is two big strides away.
There were shouts from the car, but Chen Lu couldn't understand it, but he felt that his shouting made his scalp tense.
Chen Lu counted it, there were twelve in total, and he realized at this time that the corpse chaser was actually leading, and the person was in front, but he didn't hear that it was okay to take a car, and he must be a mage with profound mana.
He didn't dare to intercept, and silently observed, and a few more groups of corpse chasers walked by, but they were all three or five. He found that the nearest to Sama was five or six miles, and made up his mind.
It was about the second watch, Chen Lu rode a horse to catch up, he didn't dare to chase on the official road behind, passed through the snow, stuck diagonally, and stopped the hemp car.
There was a hurried ringing of bells, and then a faint shout, and the procession stopped, and the coachman walked down, and asked, "Where are you sacred, who dare to stop the procession of returning souls?"
Chen Lu was already convinced of this, and he didn't dare to ridicule, and said in a deep voice: "I want to see Master Sama in the next place." ”
The coachman replied: "Please wait at the next cloud shop, dodge, don't be shocked." ”
Chen Lu said: "It's a matter of life and death, don't dare to delay, please see the master." ”
The coachman muttered a few words inside, and a man got out of the car, and under the snow, a long white face, aged about sixty-five, asked, "Who are you?"
Chen Lu said, "Please take a step to speak. ”
"No, no one here understands us except the coachman, just speak. ”
Chen Lu doesn't talk nonsense, he has to hurry up, and the ones behind him will soon follow. He told him what he meant, and by the way, he also talked about the situation of going to his house, and of course he also talked about the fifty taels of silver.
Sama pondered for a moment, as if he was afraid that the latter would catch up, and said, "Of course there is this medicine for us, but I'm sorry for the guests, we don't dare to delay, these souls that have returned to the truth will be frightened, and they will disperse, and this mage will fall short." It's not good to block the ones behind, and their souls will be frightened. In this way, you can go to the cloud store in front of me after dawn to find me. ”
Chen Lu is a quick-witted person, since he admits that he has this kind of medicine, he will naturally bring it with him, so why do he need to go to the front to give it again? He will not delay too long to get the medicine.
Chen Lu then stopped the way and said, "Master Master, I know your difficulties, and you treat me as your client. I don't care how much you charge for each business, I'll give you an ingot of gold in addition to the fifty taels of silver. ”
