Chapter 31: Death and Resurrection
Most of the dead who were thrown into mass graves were unfortunate, because the soldiers would not bury them seriously, so they dug a pit and threw their bodies in, filled in the soil and left.
The worse situation is to be thrown in the wild, no longer care, the corpse wilderness, let the wild dogs and crows eat carrion, anyway, no one cares, these evildoers, get such a fate, it can be regarded as retribution.
The four soldiers carried the mad old man and the "corpses" of Thirteen to the mass grave, looking at their bleeding faces, one face was swollen like a pig's head, indescribably terrifying and disgusting.
One of the soldiers was about to dig a pit, but was stopped by another and said angrily, "What are you doing?"
"Dig a pit and bury it. ”
"Save your energy, let their carcasses be eaten by wild dogs and crows, and those lowly creatures will have a full feast, and we won't have to waste our time. ”
The third person chimed in: "It makes sense, I don't want to take a second look when I see such a terrible death, let's take the opportunity to go to the restaurant for a few drinks, wouldn't it be faster to live?"
The four soldiers left happily, and shortly after they left, a masked man appeared at the mass grave.
He was a close associate arranged by the secretary of the military department, and the secretary of the military department told him to stay here all the time, not allowing wild objects to get close to the body of the crazy old man, saying that the two would be resurrected.
He carried out the order without asking much, and he knew better than anyone else the truth that if you talk too much, you won't live long, otherwise you wouldn't be alive today. It is precisely because of obedience that he can get the favor of Lord Shangshu.
But is it really favorable, he asked himself, his wife was matched by Lord Shangshu, but he was afraid that the person next to his pillow was also the eyes and ears of Lord Shangshu, if he dared to have any second heart, death without a place to bury him would be his final end.
When he saw that there was no one in the four fields, he took off the black cloth and waited for a day, until ten o'clock in the evening, when he saw the two corpses move slightly, which made his eyes widen in surprise.
Originally, he was eating a cooking cake, but now he spit it out, instinctively thinking that he was cheating the corpse.
Because he had doubted Lord Shangshu's words, he didn't believe that people could die and be resurrected, and he also listened to the pulse of the two with his hand, and it didn't beat, but now when this incredible scene happened, how could he not be shocked?
The two corpses sat up, and the pavilion chief couldn't help but cover his mouth to prevent the breath from coming out, afraid that the two zombies would crawl over with the breath of the living.
The crazy old man and Thirteen coughed violently, coughed a few times, and then their breathing became smoother, and the old man looked around, just in time to see the pavilion chief with a blue face.
"Do you have any water, give me two sips. The old man yelled almost in command.
The pavilion chief's back was cold, his legs trembled a little, and he threw the kettle in his hand, he didn't dare to run in front of the two zombies.
The crazy old man drank it in a big gulp, and half a pot of water, which was not much, passed through his cow drink, and left Thirteen with a few sips that were about to bottom out.
Thirteen felt a fire burning in his body, as if he had been thirsty for days after getting lost in the desert, and his lips were already chapped, and he took the kettle and drank it all.
"And if you have something to eat, bring it too. ”
Hearing the crazy old man's words, the pavilion chief hurriedly threw a bag of cooking cakes over, wondering if these two had become starving ghosts, and only hoped that they would not eat themselves.
The old man took the bag of cooking cakes, and instead of busy eating, he continued to the pavilion chief: "If there is anything else, take it out at once, I am too lazy to talk nonsense." ”
The pavilion chief broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart, "Could this ghost old man have heavenly eyes?" He took out a few silver tickets from his arms, not much, only four hundred taels, and I don't know if Shangshu is too stingy, or if he is really honest and honest.
Trembling and walking over with the silver ticket, the crazy old man took the silver ticket, glanced at the pavilion chief who was not very bold, didn't say anything, and beckoned to the thirteen beside him: "Let's go." ”
Thirteen, who had been in the clouds, couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Where are you going, who are you, why am I here?"
The face of the crazy old man hidden in the messy hair could not see the change of expression, the dusk was coming to an end, the twilight was four, taking advantage of the hazy sunset, the crazy old man walked out of the mass grave without saying a word.
Thirteen was very curious, but the old man still ignored him, he took a step, his legs and feet were stiff, he almost fell, scolded in a low voice, and chased after him.
The pavilion chief looked at all this, touched the cold sweat on his head, and then like a hare escaping from the cage, the crazy Shangshufu ran away.
The crazy old man who seems to be weak and can't help the wind, but his steps are very fast, Thirteen is a person who practices martial arts, and he has to do his best to barely keep up, which is in the eyes of Thirteen, in addition to being frightened, he is more admired.
"Senior, can you tell me what's going on, I was supposed to be in prison, how did I run to a mass grave?"
"Dare to ask who the predecessor is, did you save me, can you save my brother again?"
"Can you slow down, I really can't keep up with you, where are we going?"
The figure quickly shuttled through the trail Thirteen, constantly asking questions, but the old man in front of him never said a word and hurried away.
Thirteen was angry in his heart, and said angrily: "The seniors are amazing, I won't accompany you." ”
After saying that, he sat down on the spot, rubbing his sore legs and stiff back.
He thought that by doing so, the old man would at least stop, but to his surprise, the mad old man pulled down a vine on the spot, and with a shake of his right hand, the vine wrapped around his waist like a spiritual snake.
Thirteen looked down, his eyes wide, and tried to struggle to get rid of it, but his hands were clamped down and he couldn't exert his strength.
In this way, like dragging a dead dog, Thirteen was dragged away by the crazy old man, the twilight became heavier and heavier, the old man took out a cooking cake in the bag, and ate it as he walked, while the thirteen in the back, his stomach made a "cooing" sound.
Looking at the gradually dark sky, it seemed that there was no moon coming out tonight, the old man couldn't help but sigh and muttered to himself: "Have you seen it in the spirit of the sky, tiger father and dog." If you hadn't died so early, and taught him well, he wouldn't have been as poor as he is now. ”
Naturally, Thirteen didn't hear the mad old man's words, because on the way to the road, his head hit a stone and he fainted.
The old man with a puffy face took Thirteen, hid in an ox cart, and then appeared outside an inn in the city like a ghost, and the shopkeeper looked at these two people who were ten times more embarrassed than Hanako, and couldn't help but scold and blast them away.
The old man, who was like a savage, faced the rude abuse of the shopkeeper, stepped forward and took a step, and with a gentle push of his hand, the shopkeeper flew into the store and bumped into two chairs.
While everyone was still panicking, the crazy old man slowly walked into the inn with Thirteen's collar in his hand.
