Chapter 1070: Tomb of Tusi King (24)
“…Okay, okay.”
Wang Yushu was still famous for his power, and during the short time they were talking, the old man’s body seemed to have changed for the worse, causing the Li family members who were guarding the bedside to anxiously mutter a few words in dialect to Li Jun. Li Jun, who was still hesitant, finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
“What do you want?”
What do we want?
Wang Yushu’s brain was spinning rapidly, and his heartbeat accelerated. This was a precious promise! What did he want? To make Li Jun swear that he would not hurt the whole team? To ensure that they could live safely until the evening to return to the B&B? To find out the secret of the Li family? Or——
“What do you want? Talk to me later.”
It was obviously the Li family who needed help, but in the silence, it was Wang Yushu who was getting more and more anxious. What request should he make so as not to waste this opportunity? To maximize the use of this opportunity? For a while, his mind was confused as if he had gone numb, until he felt a strong hand pressing down on his shoulder, and An Xuefeng's voice rang out:
"The most important thing right now is to bury the old man. Your Li family owes us something——"
An Xuefeng said in a deep voice, his sharp eyes like a hawk fixed firmly on Li Jun's gray face. Even though his eyes replaced by insect pupae could not reveal any "eyes", the subtle facial expressions of people could not only be detected from the eyes. After noticing the subtle changes in Li Jun's expression, before he spoke, An Xuefeng seemed to say casually: "Li Jun Linjun, you are the leader of the Paper Horse Tower, so the leader owes us something."
Li Jun did not speak, but did not refute, which was a tacit agreement.
It seemed that his face seemed to be even greener...Miao Fangfei thought uncertainly that the conversation between Captain An and Li Jun just now seemed to be a short confrontation, but she had not figured it out yet. The ten of them gathered in a circle and exchanged information quickly while discussing who would carry the corpse.
The Li family was right next to them. On the surface, it was just An Xuefeng who was selecting people to carry the corpse. In fact, a piece of paper was passed from Wang Pengpai to everyone. The paper was rolled into a ball, and the handwriting on it was very messy, just like the prescriptions written by doctors in the past. It took a lot of guessing to figure it out.
[Old and stiff, full of resentment!! Enemies of insects (?)]
Lu Shucheng was the last person to pass the paper around. After scanning the paper, he completely crushed the soft paper that was already overwhelmed. Under the dim light, everyone's faces were a little solemn. From the information shared by Wang Pengpai, everyone was mentally prepared for the former, after all, they could guess a little from the abnormal length of the old man's nails and the luster of his skin, but even Wang Pengpai was not sure about the latter.
Isn't the Li family the same kind of mutation? Did the Li family members who were parasitic on insects and the dead zombie-like old man suffer from different pollution attacks? Was the Li family unable to lift the old man's body because the "zombies" and the insect people were hostile?
"Wang Pengpai, Wan Xiangchun, Bai Feibai."
Amidst the turmoil, An Xuefeng had already selected three people: "You three will carry the body with me. Yushu Xiaole, you will record the whole process next to me."
"Understood!"
To carry the body, you have to choose someone with strong Yang energy, especially since this body is very likely to have transformed into a corpse, which is extremely dangerous. An Xuefeng has the power of the white tiger, Wan Xiangchun has strong Yang energy, Wang Pengpai has a deep understanding of various zombies from his ancestors, and Bai Feibai's ability is very restrained against corpses. The four of them are the best candidates to carry the corpse. Even if they are faced with a corpse that has truly transformed into a corpse, they can still resist it. Not to mention that before carrying the corpse, Wang Pengpai took out the leftover cloth strips that he had dyed this morning, and all of them wrapped their hands with cinnabar-dyed cloth strips.
However, when they really stood next to the corpse, the four of them could feel the creepy, cold sense of danger.
It had only been a dozen minutes since they entered the hall to pay their respects to the corpse, but the changes that had taken place on the old man's body were so great that they could not be ignored. His shroud and pants had bulged, as if something had grown on the corpse, and the shroud on top was like an inflated balloon. The shoes on his big feet were also tight, and it felt like they would burst at any time. There was a stain in the middle of the white paper that had originally covered the old man's face, as if it had been stained with some dirty grease. His dark and ferocious hands that were placed on his abdomen had also become wet and sticky, and his sharp nails seemed to be covered with asphalt and were scary.
But the most terrifying thing was that when the four of them surrounded them, a gust of cold wind came from nowhere and blew up the white paper covering the corpse's face! No one had time to react, and in an instant the old man's crimson face was revealed. Li Jun said that his father died last night and was to be buried today, but the old man did not look like he had just died. He looked like he had been skinned before he died. His face was exposed, and his bones were covered with dry and hideous flesh pillars. His mouth was wide open, and his teeth had basically fallen out. Only two beast-like fangs were left on the left and right, sticking out like daggers, not like humans. The most terrifying thing was the old man's eyes. His eye sockets were empty and deeply sunken, but there seemed to be a flash of black light, just like the reflection of a light shining on a beetle, making the corpse seem alive. He stared at An Xuefeng with bloodshot eyes, and his bones were frozen by this cold and evil look.
At this moment, no one dared to make a sound. Wang Yushu's hands were shaking as he held the mobile phone to broadcast live. Until the cold wind blew, the white paper covering the old man's face fell again, blocking his horrible face after he turned into a corpse. Everything they saw just now seemed like an illusion, but the four people beside the bed knew that it was not an illusion, and cold sweat covered their backs.
"Fuck it, this wicked, stupid bastard grandson of the Lord of Heaven..."
Wang Pengpai couldn't help it, and was already terrified and cursed in a low voice, with a fierce look in his eyes, ready to take out his mixed blood bottle at any time. Wan Xiangchun's pupils trembled and his whole body froze. He was so scared that he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Bai Feibai was relatively calm, but he also looked at An Xuefeng.
What do you say, move or not.
"Old man, we will take you to the coffin."
An Xuefeng was the calmest in the face of major events. He acted as if he didn't see the changes in the old man's body. He said a few words with a normal expression, and then reached out to lift the old man's left shoulder and back. Seeing him move, Wang Pengpai gritted his teeth and didn't hesitate. He followed to lift the old man's left leg. Bai Feibai almost lifted the old man's right shoulder and back at the same time as him. Only Wan Xiangchun was left. He hesitated for a moment, and finally went all out to lift the old man's right leg.
Four people carrying a corpse seemed a bit too much, but everyone who was alert and ready to take action could see that Wang Pengpai's face flushed red the moment he lifted the corpse. Wan Xiangchun and Bai Feibai also used up all their strength and couldn't even straighten their legs completely, as if they were not carrying a corpse, but a heavy huge iron block. Only An Xuefeng, who had strange powers, was able to handle it with ease and helped others share some of the weight.
It was only a few steps from the wooden bed to the coffin on the wooden platform in the middle of the hall, but these few steps made Miao Fangfei and others feel anxious. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw An Xuefeng and others finally put the corpse into the coffin. The strange thing was that the corpse was so heavy, but it didn't break the coffin or crush the wooden platform after it was put into the coffin. If it weren't for Wang Pengpai and others' arms shaking uncontrollably, people would doubt whether the corpse was really that heavy.
"Thank you..."
After the body was put into the coffin, the Li family members who had been standing far away as if they were afraid of disturbing the burial finally came over and got busy. Some took the old clothes of the deceased and stuffed them around him, while others took the longevity blanket and carefully covered the body. Finally, before closing the coffin, the covering paper should be removed to let the relatives of the deceased pay their last respects to the remains. However, Li Jun, the eldest son, froze beside the coffin for a long time, but begged An Xuefeng to remove the covering paper, as if he was a real filial son and grandson.
The body had been carried before, and they had also "seen" the covering paper being blown up by the wind just now. An Xuefeng also had some guesses in his mind. Needless to say, he stepped forward and removed the covering paper. The old man's face still had too many changes from before, but under the dim light, there was a little black halo on his face, as if he had grown fine and dense black hair, and the hair in the sunken eye sockets grew longer, which was another kind of horror compared to the eye sockets with insect pupae.
But other than that, the old man did not move in any other way, and the Li family was able to close the coffin smoothly. Li Jun seemed to be relieved. When the other three were busy at the coffin, he walked to An Xuefeng, thanked him for his help, and said that they would not be bothered with the next vigil.
"The vigil will last until noon, and other villagers will come. After the funeral banquet at noon, the accompanying spirit will dance."
Li Jun said, "You can go to rest. You can take any food in the fire room."
Nerves are so tense that everyone needs to relax. Although Wang Yushu still wants to stick to the front line and stay here to live broadcast, An Xuefeng pulls him to rest without question.
"What if you miss any key clues..."
Wang Yushu hesitated.
"I can let Banban keep an eye on this side. Brother Wang, listen to Captain An."
Miao Fangfei said, lowering her voice: "You have been live broadcasting at a close distance just now. If something gets on your body, you need to deal with it in time. We all do the same."
Something got on your body? Why didn't he feel that something got on his body?
Wang Yushu's heart skipped a beat, and he became inexplicably uneasy. When he went to the fire room and sat next to the fire, he suddenly felt a little scared - he saw An Xuefeng, Wang Pengpai, Bai Feibai and Wan Xiangchun, the four people carrying the corpse, stretching out their hands. The cinnabar cloth wrapped around their hands fell to the ground, and it was clearly seen that the palms of the four of them had a layer of fine black hair!
Only the hair on An Xuefeng's palm was black and white, and the white hair was the majority. It was very soft and fine, and it was hard to see clearly without careful observation.
"The corpse poison is so strong that even cinnabar can't prevent it."
Wang Pengpai grinned and wrinkled his fat face: "Xiao Le, Xiao Le, take my bag and take out the soaked glutinous rice. The corpse poison must be pulled out as soon as possible!"
"I have some herbs here that may also have some effect on the corpse poison."
Tong Hege took the initiative to say: "Brother Wang, can you lend me your bottle of blood to spray it?"
That bottle of mixed plasma can be regarded as Wang Pengpai's magic weapon. It is very precious and cannot be borrowed with just a word. Tong Hege had to smile bitterly and said helplessly: "Maybe I brought too many herbs with me, which attracted insects. Now I am full of insect eggs... You have a lot of them too."
"There are insects everywhere in the main room, and there are insect seeds in the dust. People who have entered have more or less stained with them!"
