Chapter 38: Companionship with the Dead
The old man lived at this age and still had the ability to observe his words and expressions. Although he saw that Master Qingfeng was telling lies, it was not easy to break it. He just nodded and said: It is not surprising that he encountered some mountain birds and beasts in the wilderness forests. The Taoist priest has worked hard all the way over. The charity village at the entrance of the village is now empty. I will take you here now.
Master Qingfeng thanked him, followed the old man, and drove the corpses towards the Yizhuang. Wu Feng looked at the village curiously and followed slowly behind his master.
It was already a little dawn. After a few people arrived at the Yizhuang Manor, Master Qingfeng first placed the bodies at the gate of the Yizhuang Manor, and then checked them one by one. He found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he felt relieved.
Yizhuang is located at the east end of Shuangqiao Village. To be precise, it is located north to the east of the village. Ordinary house constructions face north and south to facilitate more sunlight. However, Yizhuang is just the opposite. Its layout is to face south and north to avoid sunlight from entering the house. There is not even a window. There is only a door facing north, which is mostly closed. Therefore, the house is dark and humid, and it always looks terrifying. As soon as you walk into this room, you feel cold and cold.
The threshold of the Yizhuang Village is very high, about the knees of an adult. This is to prevent the corpses from jumping out of the door after the corpse change. Generally, corpses will turn into zombies after the corpse change. The zombies' bodies are stiff and their knees cannot be bent. With such a high threshold, they generally cannot jump out.
The house was not only dark and humid, but also very empty. There were only a few coffins placed in the middle of the house. These coffins were people who died recently in Shuangqiao Village. Some were waiting for the funeral time to be buried, and some were passers-by who died suddenly. At that time, there were chaos and deaths.
The old man who brought Master Qingfeng and Wu Feng to Yizhuang was named Liu. He lived alone for most of his life without children. He made a living in this village and went to the village chief to collect some silver on a monthly basis. The so-called village chief is equivalent to the current village chief, who is responsible for the household registration, taxes and service affairs.
This old man is usually kind, and everyone in the village calls him Lao Liutou. No one in the village knows where he came from, and no one cares about this matter. He only knows that he is surprisingly brave and lives in that gloomy charity village. He is with dead bodies every day, often in the middle of the night, and he looks a little ghostly.
After Lao Liu led the master and apprentice into the charity village, he placed the lantern in his hand on a coffin. The red lantern illuminated the room in a daze, as if covered with a layer of blood, which made it even more gloomy and terrifying.
At this time, Master Qingfeng had just placed the bodies, and Old Liu quietly walked to Master Qingfeng and said politely: Master Qingfeng, you must have not eaten any food all the way through the journey. Now it is dawn outside. I'll go out to buy you some wine and food for you.
