We had a good night's sleep. As soon as we were having breakfast the next morning, Wenjin and erhu rushed in.
Wen Jin's face was gray, and he said to me in a panic: "brother Jiulin, something happened down the mountain..."
Before I could speak, aunt Zhuang was already in a hurry and asked, "what's the matter?"
"Dead." Wenjin was obviously very afraid, and he couldn't speak quickly. However, erhu, who was standing aside, was calm and said clearly: "Wenjin is worried about his own land, so he came to see me this morning and asked me to accompany him to the mountain. We saw the corpse cochlea climbing out of the tomb. Wherever they passed, the grass and trees turned yellow. We followed them all the way to the foot of the mountain and found a corpse at the foot of the mountain. "
"Are they from our town?" Aunt Zhuang looks very worried.
Wen Jin quickly shook his head: "don't be afraid, aunt Zhuang. That person should not be from our town."
"Yes, no, no, what is" should " Zhuang Ning asked with a frown.
Erhu said: "well, the man's body is puffy, his head is bigger than the pig's head, and he can't recognize his appearance at all. But it seems that his clothes are not like the people in our town, and there is a broken car parked near his body."
A broken car?
I had a bad idea at once and looked at Zhuang Ning. Zhuang Ning, who hadn't responded, immediately understood, "is it the black car driver who drove us back?"
"Let's go and show me!" I didn't want to eat. I put down my chopsticks and went out with Wenjin and erhu. Zhuang Ning doesn't care about Aunt Zhuang's obstruction. She says that she should follow everything. Aunt Zhuang doesn't feel at ease. She chases her way out of the gate.
Wenjin and erhu are busy all the year round up and down the mountain. They are fast-paced. Zhuang Ning and I are struggling to keep up. In addition, we just got rid of the entanglement of the corpse's cochlea, and our physical strength has not fully recovered. Our distance is getting farther and farther, and Zhuang Ning also took the opportunity to talk to me about the intimate words: "Mr. Zhang, I think the mayor is a little strange, he seems to be hiding something..."
"Is there any secret in your town that you can't tell?" I'm also curious about that.
Zhuang Ning said: "I don't know. You saw yesterday that women in black town have no status. They won't tell me anything. But their attitude is too strange to be doubted. "
"You don't want to think about it. We're here to deal with the affairs of Yin, let alone save your father. You don't have to live on your own. I can't lend you a sum of money. I'll take your parents out of this ghost place first. As long as a family works together, what is a house? "
In fact, I didn't mean to say it directly. It's rare that I fell in love with Zhuang Ning so much. I really can't do it. I'll take her as my sister and give her a house.
But I also know Zhuang Ning's strong character. If I send it directly, she will not accept it, just afraid that she will treat me as a person with a bad heart.
Alas, the society is too chaotic. Being a good person these days, you have to hide it!
We finally caught up with Wenjin and erhu, who took us to the foot of the mountain. The fields here are most seriously damaged. All the landslides rolling down the hillside are gathered here. Because of the rain, all the fields have become paddy fields.
Just at the intersection of several fields, I saw the body in Wen import.
Although the body was swollen and unidentifiable, through his dirty clothes, Zhuang Ning and I recognized him as the black car driver who pulled us.
Wen Jin pointed to the distance and said, "look, there is still a car there."
The fact that the broken car was able to drive here means that the driver lied to me and traning that day. The car didn't break down at all. He just didn't want to see us off, but he came here himself and hasn't left these days.
"Why is he still here?" Zhuang Ning asked with a puzzled face.
I slowly squatted down, picked up a stick from the roadside, and gently picked up the body's coat. Sure enough, he saw many funerary objects in his arms.
The damage of these funerary objects is more serious than what I saw in the dealer. I picked them out one by one with a stick, which is nothing special. If I don't give up, I'll reach for it.
Zhuang Ning grabbed me, handed me a pair of gloves and said, "be careful!"
Well, I put my gloves on my hand. Then I put my hand into the body's pocket and found two five baht coins.
Another five baht.
Is this shade related to these coins?
I was wondering. Suddenly there was a loud bang in front of me. The body of the driver exploded in front of us.
It seems that the swelling has reached a certain limit, and the air inside the body is finally like an explosion balloon, spreading the skin and flesh, and the blood intestines are flowing all over the place with the stench.
Even people like me who are used to seeing scenes jump up in fright: "lying trough, what's the matter?"
Chuang Ning screamed in horror, and Wen Jin timidly hid behind erhu.
Erhu's goods are out of my expectation. He looks at the body in front of him.I'm not only impressed with him, but also stressed my guess about him. This kid has something to hide from me!
"Look, what is that?" Erhu asked, pointing to the white worms wriggling in the flesh.
He didn't say that I hadn't paid attention to it. After hearing what he said, he quickly lowered his head to study it.
Sure enough, among the stinking flesh and blood, I saw many white maggots crawling slowly and disgusting.
But why are they here?
Generally speaking, the corpse needs to be placed for a long time, and maggots will appear only when it rots to a certain extent. Besides, it has been raining in the black clothes town. The temperature is very cold, and the corpse will not rot so fast.
What's the matter?
"What to do now?" Wen Jin asked shivering.
"Dig a hole and bury him first." With my orders, Wen Jin and erhu immediately went to nearby fields to find two shovel spades, and quickly dug a big pit and buried the body.
Zhuang Ning asked me in a low voice, "how could this black car driver die here?"
Why else, this guy has a good eye for money. He knows that many ancient tombs have been washed away by the mud rock flow nearby. Can he not steal treasure? Maybe he was willing to pull us up the mountain for this idea, but he didn't expect to send his life to the mountain.
But I'm dead. I don't want to talk more. I shake my head and don't answer.
Wenjin and erhu soon buried the driver's body in a nearby field: "when the rain stops, we still need to call the police to find his family. At this time, we can't let him go into the wild to prevent the wild dog from taking it."
I smiled at Wenjin and erhu: "it's all a good thing to accumulate Yin and virtue for ourselves, and there will be future blessings."
Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of their words in the morning, and couldn't help sinking my face: "when you come here in the morning, you follow the footprints of the corpse cochlea?"
"Yes!" Wen Jin nodded without thinking, pointing to the distance and said, "it's right there. There seems to be a tomb there."
Another grave? Are all the things on the driver of the black car found in this newly discovered grave?
