Lin Xixue stared at the scene through the crack in the window with all her concentration.
She also wanted to know what would happen if the wrong end was sewn.
The walking corpse has been firmly tied by chains and pressed to the ground, unable to move at all. It doesn't look like a threat.
The refugee was held at knifepoint, his neck stiffened and he moved little by little towards the corpse. He picked up the thick cotton thread on the ground and connected his head and body with rough stitches.
I walked a circle of thread around my neck, but because the stitching was too rough, it wasn't tight, so I went back and forth a few times to reinforce it.
Seeing that the stitches were indeed tight, he turned around, knelt on the ground and took a few steps. He kowtowed to Su Ling Si Guan Cha and said, "Master, I have stitched them as you ordered. Please let me go." !”
The official of the Department of Mortals frowned and saw that the walking corpse had indeed calmed down and no changes had occurred. He murmured: "Could it be that a blind cat encountered a dead mouse and got it right the first time?"
Lin Xixue was also a little surprised when she saw this scene. She couldn't help but sigh that this refugee was really lucky. She was asked to distinguish these five heads. I'm afraid she couldn't distinguish them clearly. In the end, she was hit by this refugee all at once. .
However, she shook her head and looked at the refugee with more sympathy.
After all, even though he was lucky enough to be right once, he might still have to die here today.
The Ting Ling Secretary tried every means to cover up the news, how could he let the refugee who knew about it leave alive?
Lin Xixue continued to wait and see, wanting to verify whether her guess was correct.
As expected, the Jingling Department official pondered for a moment and then said: "It's okay to let you go, but if others ask where you went tonight, what will you say?"
The Jingling Department official raised his eyebrows as he spoke, with a hint of threat in his tone.
"To tell you what my lord, I helped carry some heavy objects tonight, and your lord gave me a good meal."
"Then it's about sewing the heads of walking zombies?"
"My lord is wise, I just helped carry some tables, chairs and beds. I wonder which walking corpse you are talking about?"
"Very good, you are a smart man, go ahead!" He waved his sleeves and motioned for the refugees to leave.
The refugee got up, turned around, clasped his hands above his navel, twirled his thumbs with each other, and walked forward step by step, wincing.
The Lings Department official frowned, hesitated for a moment, and waved, and the policeman beside him took out the sword from his waist and offered it with both hands.
He took the knife, caught up with the refugee in a few steps, and then stabbed the sword from the back of the heart and out of the chest.
This refugee's heart and lungs were pierced by the knife. He couldn't even scream and collapsed on the ground. His body shook a few times and he couldn't move.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then threw it away and covered the refugee's head.
"Sew up the wounds on the refugee's body and send him and the walking corpse out of the city later." He impatiently ordered the cobbler and corpse driver behind him.
Immediately afterwards, he asked the policeman next to him: "Have you caught the watchman who spread rumors and disturbed people's hearts?"
"Return to my lord, we have been captured."
"Okay, I will hand it over to the government office tomorrow and handle it according to law."
"yes!"
"Also, please remember to take care of the residents nearby. I don't want any unnecessary rumors to spread in Xinliang City tomorrow morning."
"My subordinate understands."
"A few of you will be responsible for assisting the two minor officials in stitching up the corpses and driving them away. The rest of you will go with me to dispose of the remaining four corpses."
"yes!"
After arranging the follow-up matters, the Jingling Department official got on his horse and rushed to other incident locations.
The corpse stitchers and corpse movers also moved quickly with the help of the police, loading all the corpses of the refugees and the walking corpses onto the carts and transporting them away.
Only a few police officers were left at the scene to clean up the blood stains and take care of the residents.
In fact, if they say they are taking care of the residents, they are just knocking on doors and giving warnings.
After all, the residents in this city are different from the refugees. They are alone and have nothing to worry about.
Each of the residents has a family, and with just a little warning, no one will take the initiative to make their lives uncomfortable.
Everyone will tacitly keep silent about what happened tonight.
Knocking all the way to the courtyard door where Lin Xixue was hiding, one of the policemen called the door for a long time, but Lin Xixue naturally wouldn't open the door.
The policeman seemed to be angry and started to kick in the door.
Seeing this, the colleagues on the side quickly tried to dissuade him: "You're new here, are you tired of living? This yard is Mr. Yan's private residence, don't destroy it!"
"Master Yan lives in his own official residence on weekdays. This courtyard is usually unoccupied. There is no need to knock any more!"
"That's so! Since it's Master Yan's residence, why not mark it directly at the door?"
"What an idiot. Mr. Yan has his own reasons."
When the newcomer heard his colleague's rebuke, he wiped the footprints on the door clean with his sleeves and left angrily.
Lin Xixue silently remembered the three words "Master Yan" in her heart. It turned out that this person who wantonly plundered people's wealth and anointing was named Yan.
Several police officers took care of the scene and soon left the street.
A small episode in the short night seemed to end peacefully.
In the silent streets, it was as if nothing had ever happened.
However, the official of the Department of Casualties could never have imagined that there were two walking corpses controlled on a bench just two streets away in a resident's home.
If in a few days, these two walking corpses are accidentally released and trigger some weird events, how will the officials of the Department of Spirits feel?
Lin Xixue laughed secretly when she thought of this.
However, the only thing that surprised Lin Xixue in this episode was that the refugee's head was covered right the first time, so that she could not see what would happen if the sewing was wrong.
Do you want to visit other places where walking corpses were found?
She thought for a moment and decided not to go.
Although she did want to know what would happen if the wrong head was sewn on, and why the cobbler was so taboo about sewing on the wrong head.
But after all, she was just curious, and the matter was not important enough for her to take a big risk to investigate on site.
Now that Bai Qing is about to wake up, there is really no need to cause trouble again.
It’s better to think about what to do next.
Both the magic sword and the jade book require the consumption of Yangshou, and they cannot be used so frequently in the future. If you want to continue using it, you have to first find the treasures that can extend your lifespan.
Before that, there must be someone who can replace the magic sword for self-defense.
But speaking of things, the Tang Dynasty-made horizontal knives worn on the waists of those policemen just now are just standard weapons, but they are really quite impressive.
Or, before finding a way to extend life, use a horizontal knife?
No, it's not just one, it should be a lot of blows. The mad sword's aura is too strong. This kind of ordinary iron cannot withstand such violent slashes. I'm afraid the blade will break.
Anyway, there is no shortage of money now, so I can just play a few more and use them interchangeably, and I won’t feel bad.
But in addition to worrying about this guy, the episode just now also made her hear a lot of content worthy of analysis.
Among them, the content that concerned him the most was the two words mentioned by the two cobblers just now - City God and Sanyuan Guan...
