Chapter 167: The Corpse Man

The three of us hurried over and asked the old woman about the location of Resurrection Mountain.

"Aunt! Do you know where the Resurrection Mountain is?" Nie Gu stepped forward and asked.

When the old lady heard Nie Gu's question, she raised her head and looked at us. Only then did I see clearly that her bronze skin was full of deep wrinkles, and there was a very eye-catching black birthmark next to her left eye.

"I don't know," the old woman said after hesitating for a while.

I thought there was something going on, so I glanced at Wei Shengjin.

Wei Shengjin took out five hundred yuan and handed it to the old woman and said: "Old man, we are here for a trip. I heard from a friend that the Resurrection Mountain is quite fun, so I plan to go there and have fun. If you want to know, old man, just tell us.

"

"That place is not a tourist place. Wouldn't it be nice to just have fun here?" The old lady looked at us hesitantly, but still accepted the money. This money is really good and makes many complicated things.

Become simple.

"Auntie, we are tired of visiting these tourist attractions. There are people everywhere and it's really not interesting. We just want to find some places to visit that no one else has been to," I said with a smile.

"There must be a reason why no one goes. I do know about Huihun Mountain. It's a deep mountain and old forest. It's still far away from here. There's nothing interesting." The old lady spoke a Xiangxi dialect slowly, and it took me a long time to hear it.

clear.

"Old man, just take us there, you don't have to worry about anything else." I struck while the iron was hot and counted two Mao Zedong coins from my wallet and gave them to her.

"Okay, if you really want to go, come back to my house with me now. It's too late today. You stay at my house for one night, and I will ask my son to take you there early tomorrow morning." The old lady agreed readily.

Nie Gu and I looked at each other and smiled. Sure enough, we have money and can do things easily!

So we loaded the old woman’s unsold shoes into the car, helped her into the car, and drove off. We thought that the old woman was buying embroidered shoes in this scenic spot. Her home should not be far from here, but we didn’t expect that the road was bumpy.

The car drove for an hour before we arrived. In the car, the old lady told us that her surname was Jiang, that her husband had passed away long ago, and that she lived with her only son. Last year, the village was evacuated and many people in the village moved away. Now the village is empty.

There are only a few elderly families left who are attached to their hometown.

After getting off the car, we found that the village Mrs. Jiang mentioned was in a mountain valley surrounded by mountains. There were only twenty or thirty families. The houses were built against the mountains, disappearing and appearing in the dense forest, and the mountainside was still cultivated.

There are some terraced fields, and there is a small river at the foot of the mountain. It is really a paradise scene.

We followed the old lady to her house. Her house was actually made of adobe. This kind of house is rarely seen even in rural areas.

At Mrs. Jiang's home, we met her son, a dark-skinned, tall, middle-aged man who was taciturn. He seemed to be not very good at communicating. We didn't pay much attention to him either.

That night, the three of us had dinner at the old lady's house. The dishes were all mountain products, roasted rabbit with dried bamboo shoots, smoked bacon, braised fish, and an unknown wild vegetable. Although the meal was in simple conditions, it was delicious.

It's so delicious, comparable to the delicacies found in five-star hotels.

Since we have to get up early to travel tomorrow, the three of us went to bed early after dinner. Due to limited conditions, the three of us could only squeeze into a big bed. Before going to bed, Mrs. Jiang gave us two quilts and a

Big wooden bucket, and repeatedly warned: "The mountains are no better than the city. Wild animals often come and go at night. Use the wooden bucket to urinate at night, and don't go out."

After seeing off Mrs. Jiang, I lay on the bed tossing and turning but couldn't fall asleep.

"Lord, oh, Qingyang, is it too crowded? You can't sleep. How about I sleep on the floor?" Nie Gu said to me when he saw that I couldn't sleep.

"Do you feel that this old lady's house is strange?" I asked casually.

"You mean his son?"

"How can a man in his thirties or forties stay at home all year round? His family's conditions are so poor, why doesn't he go out to work? Seeing that Mrs. Jiang is in good health, she doesn't need him to take care of her! And his wife

Where are the children? Could it be that his wife and children live in the city, while he lives alone with me in the countryside?"

"Also why so many locals who are illegal tour guides don't know about Resurrection Mountain, but this old lady does?" Wei Shengjin was asleep and was woken up by me. He continued what I said. This guy is also very vigilant.

of.

"You didn't realize that there were three rooms behind his house, but for some reason he let us squeeze into one bed," Nie Gu said again.

"Don't sleep so deeply tonight, and pay more attention to Mrs. Jiang's son on the road tomorrow." I couldn't think of a reason, so I could only tell them this. Maybe they were tired after a long day of driving during the day, and soon everyone

Then he fell into a deep sleep.

When I slept until midnight, I suddenly woke up with bouts of cramping pain in my stomach. I guess I ate too much at night and had a bad stomach. You can urinate in a wooden bucket, but if you are older, you can only get up and go outside.

I had to rub my sleepy eyes, opened the quilt, climbed up, pushed open the creaking wooden door, and came to the main room. We had dinner in the main room. There was an old desk in the middle of the main room.

With

There was a portrait of Mrs. Jiang’s wife. I don’t know when a candle was lit in front of the portrait. So as soon as I entered the dark hall, I saw the dim candlelight swaying in the breeze, illuminating the portrait sometimes.

Seeing this made me feel scared. I quickly touched the light switch on the wall, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. I was in a hurry, so I had to bite the bullet and fumble to open the latch of the big wooden door of the main room and ran outside.

A bright moon hung in the sky, and the green moonlight fell lightly around the house. There was silence everywhere, except for the dark bamboo forest in the distance that was blown by the wind from time to time. A gust of cold wind blew across my neck, and I couldn't help but shiver.

, I really can’t wait any longer and don’t even bother to look for it.

As for the toilet, I ran directly behind a big tree in front of the house to solve it. Just when I was squatting under the tree and having a good time, I looked up and accidentally saw a few people slowly walking out of the main room with the door open.

After counting, there were five of them, and they couldn't see their faces clearly in the hazy moonlight.

I squatted under the tree and thought to myself: Is this old lady doing farm entertainment? So many people suddenly appeared, and I didn't see them during the day. But if I think about it carefully, so many people went out at the same time in the middle of the night. Could it be that they formed a group to go to the toilet?

It's also possible that Mrs. Jiang's food is indeed unclean, and everyone has fallen victim to it.

I saw those people walking towards me, and I thought that they were really hungry, and they were so anxious that they didn’t even want to find the toilet. They were coming to compete with me for territory. It was so embarrassing, so I quickly finished the work and mentioned it.

The pants greeted him.

But what I saw the next moment terrified me, and I shudder even thinking about it now. I saw Mrs. Jiang’s son walking in front of those people in a Taoist robe, and there was no one behind him.

! They are all hideous-looking zombies. They are all covered with black cloth and their faces are pale. Their eyes seem to have only the whites of their eyes without black eyeballs. The muscles on their faces have shrunk due to loss of moisture.

, the whole head looks similar to a skeleton. Each zombie has a yellow talisman taped on his forehead, and they all have their hands stretched out and placed on the shoulders of the one in front of them. Perhaps because their knees cannot bend, they jump forward stiffly.

They were walking, but the steps were very consistent. A pair of dry hands was also placed on the shoulders of Mrs. Jiang's son. The ten fingers had grown sharp and the nails were all black and were no less than an inch long.

My heart was beating wildly, and lightning flashed to the side, but Mrs. Jiang’s son walked past me with the four zombies as if he hadn’t seen me, and the last zombie passed me by.
