Weiping Mountain, halfway up the mountain, raspberry orchard.
Compared to Xiaoxuan's calm mood, I'm covered in sweat right now! It is broad daylight after all!
The old man used a broken Nikon phone, the kind that can pull out the antenna. It had no caller ID. I didn’t know who was calling. Fortunately, the phone rang for a while and then stopped.
Xiaoxuan took out a napkin and said while wiping the bloody knife: "Coward, what are you afraid of? Just find a place to bury it. There is no surveillance in this barren mountain. Even if the body is discovered in the future, there will be no one." Know it was us."
"Aunt! My aunt!"
"Can you be a little nervous? This is a life after all!"
Xiaoxuan spread her hands and said calmly: "So what? Whoever let this old guy take advantage of me with dishonest hands deserves to die."
At this moment, I felt that Xiaoxuan was a little strange, but this feeling was fleeting.
To deal with this kind of thing, it is best to find a place that is remote (to prevent people from coming), where the soil is moist (it rots quickly), but where it can keep out the rain (to prevent it from being washed away by rain).
Finally I found a good place to bury the body, far away from the orchards and crop fields. It was a large forest covered with golden leaves, but I didn't recognize the tree.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. I went back to the hut to find the iron, and then ran back to the woods along the path to dig a deep hole. Since I only had a shovel, Xiaoxuan couldn't help, so she sat under the big tree and used it. Nail clippers cut nails.
Strip the old man naked and burn his clothes with a lighter. Don't burn the body directly, as that will leave scorch marks on the surface soil, and the smoke will be too big to be seen.
I kicked the person into the pit, then picked up a few leaves, took out all the cigarettes on my body, crushed them, wrapped the crushed tobacco leaves in the leaves, wetted them with urine, and finally threw them all into the pit.
Using the fastest speed, I buried the person quickly with three strokes, five divided by two, and I was sweating from exhaustion.
The ground was covered with a layer of golden leaves, and the sunset gradually began to glow on the horizon. Xiaoxuan and I rested back to back against a big tree. When the wind blew, I smelled the faint body fragrance from her body.
"Xiaoxuan, have you noticed that you have changed a lot in the past two years? I can't see the shadow of the old lady in you at all."
"I have changed, you have changed, we have all changed."
Xiaoxuan took a deep breath and forced a smile: "The eldest lady you are talking about died in the desert three years ago. That time I walked through the gate of hell. From then on, I swore that I would never do anything again. Will be bullied.”
I said excitedly: "You don't have to compete with yourself like this! I'm here, Xiang Yunfeng! I'm here to protect you! Who dares to bully you in the entire world!"
"You protect me?"
Xiaoxuan burst out laughing.
"Why! Don't you look down on me!"
"Let me tell you Xiaoxuan! I have a lot of energy behind me now! Even the boss said he admires the connections I have!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Yunfeng, who are you? You are amazing. Do you know what Ah Chun said about you before? She said you are a one-pound duck, half of which is your mouth."
"Do you remember the bugs?"
"of course I remember."
Xiaoxuan looked at me, sniffed and said, "Although we sat on the same bed that night, nothing really happened. Chongzhao liked me. In fact, he knew early on that I couldn't be good with her. The reason why he is blatantly chasing me in front of you is because he deliberately cooperates with my acting. The purpose is to see if you care about me or not, and whether you will be jealous."
I fell silent after hearing this. I was indeed very jealous at the time.
"Yunfeng, I have already expressed my feelings to you. After several years, we still have not reached the last step. Sometimes I want to laugh when I think about it. We are not the sixteen or seventeen-year-old kids back then. My child, I am not a nun, and you are not a monk. I don’t understand why all this is happening? Have you never treated me as a woman from the beginning to the end? "
"Xiaoxuan, you don't understand, those of us who want to do great things shouldn't pursue that kind of low-level happiness!"
Xiaoxuan suddenly said excitedly: "What's low-level! What's high-level! Are you already suffering from mental problems?"
"Don't think that I don't know about your affair with Snake Girl! Do you dare to say that you were unhappy when he helped you do it! Do you dare to say that you never thought about it later! Do you dare to face the Northern Faction? I swear by my ancestor!"
"What? Are you feeling guilty? Don't you dare to swear to the ancestor?"
"Snake Girl can do it for you! I can do it for you too! I, Zhao Xuanxuan, am no worse than her from head to toe!"
"Xiaoxuan, don't get excited. I'll correct my mistakes! There's no such thing as a good thing! You are very beautiful and have a good figure. You are no worse than anyone else."
"But you have to understand! I am a martial arts practitioner!"
"Anyone who practices martial arts will not be moved for ten years! Then the essence will be condensed into elixir! It is called Dantian!"
"If desires don't arise! Then the essence will be released in the triple burner! It will form a relic for a long time! It will be full of glory!"
"Have you seen Xie Qirong? That lunatic looks like he is only thirty or forty years old now!"
Before I finished speaking, Xiaoxuan got up and hit me. We struggled with her for a few minutes, and I managed to make her docile.
...
At around 6 o'clock, Xiaoxuan and I did not go back, but quietly returned to the hut where the old man lived, because there was still one last piece of aftermath work to do.
Now that you have done it, you must see the living but not the people, and the dead but not the corpses.
After locking the door, I started to rummage through the boxes and cabinets in the house, while Xiaoxuan helped me observe clearly outside the house.
The quilt the old man was covering had a strange smell, a bit like durian meat that had gone bad.
Soon, I found a leather wallet with several hundred dollars in it, as well as an ID card. Only then did I learn that the old bachelor's name was Zhou Youfu, a native of Qianshan County.
I put away my wallet, quickly put on the old man's cotton coat, cotton trousers, hat, and cotton headphones, then restored the room to its original state, and filled up the coal in the stove to create a sign that I had to go out for something.
It was getting dark, and I looked at the time. At this time, Xiaoxuan called, and the time was just right.
"Yunfeng! The lights at the ticket office are turned off! A woman came out. She just locked the door."
I immediately ran out, took another path down the mountain, and ran in front of the woman.
I turned on the flashlight and walked slightly bent over.
"Hey! Old Zhou! Old Zhou! Where are you going so late!"
I pretended not to hear the shouts of the people behind me, lowered my head and walked quickly down the mountain.
Half an hour later, I met Xiaoxuan at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that I was wearing the old man's clothes, she said, "You dare to wear the clothes of a dead man casually, and you are not afraid of him knocking on your door in the middle of the night."
"Shit, let me tell you, if the old man comes back, he will knock on your door. Just be careful."
"I'm not afraid. Even if he turns into a ghost, I'll probably kill him again."
"Yunfeng, do you think this is enough?" Xiaoxuan asked me.
I started to think back carefully to see if there were any details that I missed in the whole process.
