Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 151: The White Maggots
One night sleep, the next morning we were having breakfast, we just moved chopsticks, Wen Jin and Er-Hu rushed in.
Wen Jin's face was gray and panicked and said to me: “Brother Jiulin, something happened down the hill...”
Before I asked, Aunt Zhuang was anxious to ask, “What's going on? ”
“Dead man.” Wen Jin was obviously very scared, and everything was said to his detriment. Yet Er-Hu, standing beside him, said clearly: “Wen Jin was worried about his family's fields, so he came to me early this morning and asked me to accompany him up the mountain. We saw the snails that crawled out of the grave, but everywhere they passed, the grass grew yellow, and we followed their path down the hill, and we found a body at the foot of the hill. ”
“Are you from our town?” Aunt Zhuang seemed very worried.
Wen Jin shook his head hastily: “Aunt Zhuang, don't be afraid, that person should not be from our town. ”
“Yes, yes, no, no. What do you mean, should?” Zhuang Ning frowned and asked.
"" That's right, "said Er-Hu." The man was swollen and had a bigger head than a pig's head. He couldn't recognize his face at all, but looking at his clothes shouldn't look like the people in our town, and there was a wrecked car parked not far from his body. ”
Damn car?
I suddenly had a bad idea and looked at Zhuangning. Zhuangning, who had not yet reacted, immediately understood: "Could it be the black car driver who drove us back? ”
“Let's go, show me!” I had no intention of eating, put down the chopsticks and Wenjin, Erhu went out. Zhuangning ignored Aunt Zhuang's obstruction and said to follow everything. Aunt Zhuang was uncomfortable and chased out the door.
Wenjin and Erhu have been busy up and down the mountain for many years, and our footsteps are fast. Zhuangning and I have been very hard to follow. Together with the fact that we have just emerged from the entanglement of the corpse snail, our strength has not yet fully recovered. As our distance grew further and further away, Zhuangning also took the opportunity to tell me the truth: “Mr. Zhang, I think the mayor is a little strange, he seems to be hiding something...”
“Is there something in your town you can't tell us?” I'm also curious about that.
"I don't know, as you saw yesterday, there's no place for women in Blackjacket," Zhuangning said. "They won't tell me anything. But their attitude was too strange to be suspicious. ”
“Don't even think about it. We came back mainly to deal with the shady stuff, and we saved your dad. I can't lend you money to get your parents out of this shithole. As long as the family works together, what's a house in the district? ”
Actually, I don't have the nerve to say it. It's rare that Zhuangning and I have such an affair. If it's not possible, I'll admit that she's a godsister and give her a house.
But I also know that Zhuangning is strong, and if I gave it to her directly, she would not only accept it, but she would think of me as the kind of person with a bad heart.
Hey, society is so messy, being a good person these days has to hide!
We finally caught up with Wenjin and Erhu, who took us to the foot of the mountain. The fields here are the most damaged, and all the mudslides rolling down the hillsides converge here, because of the rain, all the fields become paddy fields.
Just at the crossing of a few fields, I saw the body in Wen's entrance.
Though the body was puffy and hard to identify, through his dirty clothes, Joaning and I recognized him as the black car driver who pulled us over.
Wen Jin pointed to the distance and said: "Look, there's another car there. ”
That wrecked car was able to drive here, indicating that the driver had lied to me and Zhuangning that day, that the car had not broken anchor at all, that he just didn't want to send us anymore, but that he had come here himself, and that he had not left these days.
“Why is he still here?” Zhuang Ning asked with confusion.
I squatted down slowly, picked up a wooden stick from the side of the road and gently opened the body's coat. Indeed, he saw many ancient tombs in his arms.
These funerals are more damaged than what the dealer saw, and I picked them out one by one with a wooden stick, which is really nothing special. I don't want to die, I want to reach over and pick it up.
Zhuangning grabbed me and handed me a pair of gloves. “Be careful! ”
I, um, put the gloves on my hand, and that's when I reached into the body's pocket and I grabbed two five-baht pieces of money out of it.
Five baht money again.
Is this time the shady thing has to do with these coins?
I was wondering, and suddenly there was a loud bang in front of me, and the driver's body exploded in front of us.
It seemed to swell to a certain limit, and the air inside the body was finally like an exploding balloon, stretching out the flesh, and the blood and intestines flowed with the stench.
Even people like me used to jump up scared: "Damn, what's going on? ”
Zhuangning was even more shocked and screamed, and Wen Jin hid behind Er-Hu.
Er-Hu, this cargo was unexpected. He looked at the corpse in front of him unchanged.
I was not only impressed by him, but also by my guess of him. There is absolutely nothing this kid is hiding from me!
“Look, what's that?” Erhu pointed at the white worm that was creeping in the flesh and asked.
He didn't say I hadn't noticed, and listened to him and looked down.
If not, in the stench of the flesh, I see many white maggots slowly crawling and creeping, disgusting.
But why are they here?
Generally, corpses take a long time to be placed, and maggots rot to a certain extent before they appear, not to mention the fact that it has been raining on this side of Blackjacket, the temperature is very cold, and the corpse will not rot so fast at all.
What's this all about?
“What do we do now?” Wen Jin asked shakingly.
“Dig a hole and bury him first.” At my command, Wen Jin and Er-Hu immediately went to the nearby fields to find two shitty shovels and quickly dug up a large pit to bury the body.
Zhuangning whispered to me, “How did this black driver die here? ”
Why else, when this guy sees the money open, does he know that the mudslides around here have swept through a lot of ancient graves and can't steal treasure? Maybe he wanted to take us up the mountain, but he didn't expect to put his life on the mountain.
But people are dead, I don't want to talk more, shake my head without answering.
Wenjin and Erhu soon buried the driver's body in a nearby field: “When the rain stops, we still have to call the police to find his family. We can't let him bury the dead in the wilderness and prevent them from being taken away by wild dogs. ”
I smiled at Wenjin and Er-Hu: “This is all good for me. I will have a blessing. ”
Speaking of which, I suddenly thought of their words in the morning, and I couldn't help but put my face down: “When you came over this morning, did you follow in the footsteps of the snail? ”
“Yes!” Wen Jin nodded without thinking, pointing to the distance and said: “Right there, there seems to be a tomb in the place. ”
Another grave? Did you find everything on the black car driver from this newly discovered grave?
