C85

From the whirlpool, he saw a small village. A funeral procession slowly walked over, and miserable wails could be heard from time to time. Judging by the style of the clothes and hair, it should be the Qing Dynasty, but he couldn't tell what age it was. Just as the group was about to leave the village, a person suddenly limped out from the crowd and ran in front of the group to stop them. At this time, a man with a head covered with linen cloth and holding a Spirit Flag walked up and kowtowed to the person blocking his way, but that person didn't move at all.

I said, "You guys take a look at the mission. I'm going to take a look at the liveliness."

Pushing my way through the crowd, I saw that the person blocking my way was an old man in his sixties with a single limp. "This is probably a poor beggar who wants to make some money for the dead," I thought. The one who kowtowed was a young man of about 17. There was a hint of anger on his sad face.

The lame old man kept shaking his head and stomping his feet. His mouth kept opening and closing without any sound. In the final funeral procession. Two strong men came out and carried him into the crowd, one on each side, so that the funeral procession could continue.

I squatted down and said to the crippled old man on the ground, "You're so old yet you want to be a roadblock? Look, you didn't earn any money and almost lost your old life. I was lenient just now. If I had used a little more strength, you would have …"

"Pah!" That lame old man slapped me hard, making me dizzy. When I woke up, the old man had already disappeared into the crowd.

An uncle beside him kindly said, "Child, why did you provoke him? You're not dressed like a native, and you don't have a braid, and your hair is so short. "Hurry back home, we're going to be captured by the soldiers like this and get our heads cut off."

I awkwardly smiled and said, "Uncle, what happened to that old man just now? Why did you hit me? "

The uncle looked around and pulled me into a corner and said, "He's a mute. No one knows where he came from. "He did not want the silver just now. He wanted to stop the dead from being buried."

I asked curiously, "Why?" Can it become a zombie? "

Uncle's expression changed when I asked him that question. He didn't say anything and just squeezed his way through the crowd. Uncle's mysterious expression made me more interested in this matter. Just as I returned to my mother's side and wanted to tell her about what happened to me, my mother beat me to it. "Where did you go? The mission this time was really troublesome. Let's quickly find an inn to stay in first."

He was pulled by his mother to an inn called Yuanpeng, but luckily our money was used in this game. We opened three rooms, one for Wei Wu and I, one for Li Shuai and one for and one for his mother and Hua Yu. After dinner downstairs we gathered in my room, the largest of the three.

Mother sat in front of the table and poured a cup of tea, she took a sip and said, "This mission is to fight against a Corpse Demon, it should be very dangerous, come and see what Herald of the Ancient Tomb Expedition gave us, everyone split it, don't let one person go mad at the time."

There were quite a few things on the table, and even the floor was filled with them. My mother looked at them and said, "I've never been to an ancient tomb in my life. Who's ever seen a book or a movie about an ancient tomb?"

Wei Wu and the others all shook their heads, it looked like it was time for me to go on stage again. I picked up the black donkey's hoof and said, "I have seen a novel called 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' about robbing a tomb. It has been said there that this black donkey's hoof is the bane of zombies, so we each take care of our own bodies. As for the rope and flashlight, they were divided between each person. However, we don't have the 'Gold Drawing Talisman'. Don't be afraid, our Dragon Fang has the same effect. "Hmm …" I don't know what to do with the rest of the team either. We'll split the loot evenly, but we'll have to remember what we took. Otherwise, we'll be in danger. "

Mother jokingly scolded him, "You brat, if you don't study well, you play games. After finishing your job and not looking for a job, you actually read these novels? But that's fine too, since you have the experience, then come and be the captain, we'll leave our lives in your hands. "

I said nervously, "What experience? I've only read some fashionable novels. It's not like I've personally stolen tombs before."

His mother laughed and said, "That's it. Let's all take a break and wait for the plot to happen before we act."

When they returned to my room, I wanted to sleep for a while, but Wei Wu's snores were even louder than thunder, making me unable to sleep. Walking out of the inn, he unexpectedly bumped into the crippled old man. He was sitting at the entrance of the inn, waiting for something. When he saw the waiter pouring the leftovers into the swill bucket outside the door, he immediately rushed over and stuffed the leftovers into his mouth with his hand. The fellow saw that he kicked him a few times and said, "Get out of here, you still have to feed the pigs. They're all more useful than you."

The lame old man grabbed me again and dodged to the side. I couldn't bear it any longer, so I went out and reached out to pull him away, but he dodged me. When he saw me, he immediately panicked and tried to escape. I grabbed it. "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to hit you. I'll treat you to a meal."

When the lame old man heard that I wasn't here to avenge his palm strike, he stopped running. He turned around and looked at me in disbelief. I chuckled and said, "Come, I'll treat you to some delicious food."

When the waiter who was walking towards us saw the crippled old man and was about to get angry, I immediately said, "He's my guest. Quickly go and serve all the delicacies in your restaurant. He also wants two jugs of good wine."

In reality, I don't drink at all, but the smell of the wine coming from the next table makes me want to try it out. He still didn't dare to eat it, so I gave him a pot of wine and said, "Eat it, I just ate it. I'll give you all of it, but you have to know your limits and have been hungry for a long time. If you eat too much, you will die of exhaustion, so I don't want to hurt you out of kindness."

The lame old man carefully picked up the chicken leg and took a bite. Seeing that I didn't react, he simply threw down his chopsticks and grabbed it with his hand. I wanted to laugh when I saw him eating. I quickly poured myself a glass of wine to cover the smile that had crawled to the corner of my mouth. Wow, this wine tastes really good. It's not spicy, but instead has a faint fragrance and sweetness. If it wasn't so strong, he would think that he was drinking scented tea again!

I slowly drank the wine. After drinking half of the pot of wine, I discovered that there weren't many dishes left on the table. I was greatly alarmed and hurriedly said, "Don't eat anymore. Otherwise, you'll be dead from overeating."

The lame old man gave me a red-faced burp and waved at me with a gesture, probably to tell me that I could eat any more of these. I took out some money and said, "You keep this money. It should be enough for the rest of your life."

The crippled old man happily accepted it. I said, "It's fine. You can leave. I'll go take a walk around."

The lame old man looked at me and tried to say something, but he couldn't make a sound. He sighed and left. Now that he had lost all interest in shopping, he went back to his room to sleep. Listening to Wei Wu's snoring, he thought about the scene of the crippled old man blocking the coffin, and when he thought about it, he really fell asleep …

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, I was awoken by someone, and when I opened my eyes, it was Wei Wu. I wanted to scold him, but he quickly lifted me up and pushed me to the window. I went down quickly to see what was going on, but the gate had been closed by the officers and soldiers, and it was very thick. A strong pillar. I wanted to go back to the inn and greet my mother and the others, but as soon as I turned around, my wrist tightened...
