It has been five or six days since the corpse smell dispersed, which is a bit long, but I thought that with Huang Jiu here, I could delay it for a few more days.
I didn't expect it to come so soon.
Thinking of the boast it once made, I couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say that the day before yesterday, you had the final say in everything within a hundred miles?"
Huang Jiu hugged Xiao Huangpizi, with the care of an old father in his eyes, and said awkwardly: "It's not that my mother-in-law is not here. If she were at home, who would dare to come in within a hundred miles. But Brother Li, what comes here this time is something from the mountains. , you have to pay attention.”
Huang Jiu said, looking at the iron cage tied tightly with wires.
This guy, at first glance, has rake ears.
No wonder that when he came here for the second time, he looked at the female corpse with a resentful look, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
My wife is coming back soon, don’t you dare to mess around anymore?
Fortunately, I didn't act impulsively, otherwise I would have killed the male and replaced the female.
And judging from what he meant, his wife seemed to be much better behaved than him.
However, no matter how capable the beasts are, they cannot do things that some humans can do.
Just like opening the cage in front of you, it doesn't have this ability.
For the sake of his wife, I didn't embarrass him. I unscrewed the wire, put the little yellow leather inside, and asked, "Can you tell me what this thing is?"
However, as soon as the cage was opened, Huang Jiu's attitude changed. He stood up, arched his paws and said, "Brother Li, we Qingshan will not change. We will see you later."
I frowned slightly, a little unhappy. However, he still called to it and said: "Take the bracelet back. From now on, you can come here anytime you want."
Huang Jiu's little eyes rolled and he looked at me: "Brother Li, I really don't know what is coming from the mountains."
I said: "Then you won't come here anymore, otherwise I will beat you every time I see you."
Huang Jiuyi became anxious upon hearing this.
"Brother, don't be like this. How about you make a new condition?"
When I thought about Huang Jiu's wife, she might really be a grass-roots king with a radius of hundreds of miles, and she was better informed, so I stepped back and said: "I won't embarrass you. If there is any trouble in the past few days, please let me know as soon as possible. ?”
This request was simple for it, and it agreed without even thinking about it.
After Huang Jiu left, my heart felt heavy.
If something from the mountains comes within a hundred miles, it may come tonight, so we need to make some preparations.
I went back at noon.
My mother's eyes were full of worry, but she didn't ask anything.
After eating, I collected some rice and sweet potatoes and went out carrying grandpa's box.
My mother couldn't hold it back and chased me out and grabbed me and asked, "Yangyang, is that girl dead?"
Whether he's dead or alive, I don't know.
But I didn’t want my mother to be frightened, so she smiled and said, “I’m panting.”
Naturally, my mother wouldn't believe this.
After all, the coffin has been at home for fifteen years. How can the person inside still breathe?
But when people are desperate and have no choice, lies can become hope.
My mother listened and asked me to wait. She turned around and went back to the back room. After a while, she came out with a small bag, stuffed it into my hand and said, "There is nothing valuable at home. These are some clothes that my mother sold on the street yesterday." , you take it and give it to her to make do with."
I took the clothes and felt like crying.
Perhaps in every mother's heart, she doesn't think too much. The only hope is that her children will live well.
I'm not good at expressing feelings, so I took the clothes, buried my head and said, "I won't be back in the next two days, so don't wait for me to eat."
After taking a few steps, I looked back and saw my mother secretly wiping tears at the door, and my heart became heavier and heavier.
Rural people are ignorant, but rural people are not stupid. My mother knows some things well.
When I returned to my old house, I sorted out the dry food I had carried and put away the cooking stove.
After doing this, I took grandpa's box back to the house, poured out the contents, found a box under the Taoist robe, and opened it to find several yellow talismans.
Stored alone, it should be valuable.
I counted seven.
When I saw the Bagua Mirror, I looked back at the woman on the bed.
I thought that I couldn't tell whether she was alive or dead. This thing should be able to detect whether she was human or zombie, right?
I have the idea, but I'm a little scared.
Because she can move.
If the operation is improper, will she be strangled to death on the spot?
After struggling for a while, I decided to give it a try.
I walked over quietly, lifted up the black cloth, and carefully placed the Bagua Mirror on her forehead.
A few minutes passed, but the mirror didn't respond. I tried it with my hands, and the mirror didn't heat up either.
It doesn't look like a zombie.
But I didn't give up. I tried the mahogany sword and the hemp rope soaked in black dog blood, and they were all normal.
Finally, there is the yellow talisman.
I licked it with my tongue, dipped it in some saliva, and then pressed it against her forehead.
Seeing that Fu didn't respond, I breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Whatever she was, at least it wasn't a zombie.
Because those things just now were used to deal with zombies.
Looking at her heart, I swallowed and felt it was necessary to test her heartbeat.
For peace of mind, I did not take off the yellow talisman.
More than half an hour passed, and still no heartbeat could be detected.
But I don’t know why, but I feel a little happy.
This way, I can try it every day.
Pretty good.
In the evening, I ate something casually and found an iron bucket to light a fire.
Grandpa said that in evil places, things like electric lights are unreliable, and they have to be human fireworks.
After finishing it, it was still dark, so I took out the books that had fallen from the woman's body and looked through them.
Although I only went to junior high school, I am very literate and know many ancient Chinese characters. When you just follow what the book says, you simply can’t do it.
Especially the anger mentioned in it, I held it in for a long time, but except that I almost farted, I gained nothing.
It was getting dark, so I put away the ancient books, stood up, took out the firewood ash from the iron bucket, and sprinkled it evenly in the house.
There are some things in this world that are invisible to the naked eye. Using plant ashes or incense ashes can make the footprints of these things visible.
After getting rid of the plant ashes, I wrapped the whip made of willow branches around my waist.
This whip was made by my grandfather and I. It is soaked in tung oil and has good toughness. It is best used to deal with evil things.
Of course, the peach wood sword and the money sword are indispensable at the waist.
Armed, I felt a little more at ease.
At this moment, the smell of corpses spread out again.
I couldn't help but curse at the female corpse: "You are the only one who has a lot of things. I'm afraid others won't know that you are so fragrant. You are just a watery person."
I think the last sentence is a little inappropriate. Anyway, I met her, and she can do whatever she wants, but she can't be frivolous.
Thinking to myself, I think it is still necessary to try her heartbeat.
However, as soon as I walked to the bed, there was a noise from the window. I turned around warily and saw Huang Jiu wearing flowery underwear and sneaking in with his head halfway in.
