Chapter 21: Corpse Qi
The Apple Mountain is very lively today. Many adults and children in the apple forest are picking apples. Everyone is busy and not happy. Xiao Qiang stood under the tree in the apple forest, watching a large scale, constantly registering the weight of the apples. Then several old people put them into the box in batches, and then the young people loaded the box on a donkey cart. When it was dark, they would be delivered to the town's acquisition station together.
Xiao Yu was also running around in the apple forest. After he went up the mountain in the afternoon, he felt that today's apples looked worse than yesterday's, and the apple trees were a little listless, but fortunately, the sun was strong enough today, so those who came to buy were considered to be sunburned by the sun, which did not arouse suspicion.
Now the apples can still be eaten and will not have any impact on people. However, it is hard to say what will happen in half a month. Xiao Yu also quietly told Xiao Qiang that it is necessary to put all the apples in the tree within two days, otherwise you can't sell them.
When Xiao Qiang heard this news, he was also surprised and immediately raised the price of picking apples a little higher, so that everyone could work hard these two days and put all the apples into the tree within 2000.
Although a female ghost has become a ghost, it cannot affect the growth of one of the plants. However, these plants have begun to decline after the female ghost appears. Xiao Yu really can't figure it out, so what better explanation is there.
"Is it because the female ghost ate the Tudigong, and the power of the Tudigong moved the female ghost? What's going on?" Xiao Yu stood under the tree, puzzled.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Song? Why are you here to pick apples? I heard that you dug out a large tomb from there, why don't you pick up treasures and still make this?"
Just as Xiao Yu was thinking, a loud voice pulled Xiao Yu's mind back for a moment, but when he heard this voice, Xiao Yu knew who it was. He was the loud voice of Xiao Erpao.
Xiao Erpao is a bachelor. He is already forty and has not been married yet. He is usually idle and does not farm, so he relies on doing a living for others. Today, Xiao Qiang called him up the mountain to help. This person has no other benefits, but he is active, has a loud voice, and can do things. So although he is idle, he lives a pretty life with a mouth.
"Oh, don't say it anymore. That big tomb is very evil. I'd better not join in the fun. I can't afford that fortune."
An old man with gray hair looked in his sixties and medium-sized figure, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and carrying a bamboo basket, looked energetic, but the old man's face looked a little weird, as if he was covered with a layer of black air.
"Corpsy Qi?" How could this grandfather have corpse Qi? Could it be that the tomb they mentioned had zombies?
Zombie, Xiao Yu just heard that he had never seen it yet. He just saw the old man's face with black air, so he judged that it would be corpse qi! As for the difference between corpse qi and yin energy, the corpse qi will not kill people for a while, but it will slowly erode people's intelligence, but the yin energy is different. The yin energy is like a bomb hanging on its body and it will burst out at any time.
"Evil? Hehe, it's really evil. Mr. Song, come and sit down and tell us what evil method is, which will make us more knowledgeable." Xiao Erpao began to gossip.
Mr. Song and Xiao Erpao seemed to be very familiar, so they didn't refuse. They came to the apple tree and picked up a big cigarette puddle and said, "This tomb is said to be the tomb of a rich man, which was exposed during a landslide. When the tomb was just exposed, it was half a piece. No one noticed it. But half a month ago, a few dolls in my village were playing there and actually picked up copper coins, and there were a lot of them, which attracted our attention."
Speaking of this, Mr. Song smoked and continued, "Everyone knows there are treasures in it, and the villagers flocked to the crowd. I also went to join in the fun, but I just picked up a few ancient coins at the entrance of the cemetery and didn't dare to go in! As for the other villagers, they went in, and after entering, they also got some things, just bottles and jars of things. But within a few days, these villagers began to get sick and talk nonsense. No one dared to go in for a while, and they all said that the tomb was very evil."
"My son has also gone in and is still lying on the bed! Alas, it's such a sin," Old Song sighed.
Xiao Yu was behind and heard clearly. He now understood why the old man had corpse gas on his face. It turned out that it was stained with his son's body, so that it was like this! Fortunately, those people did not release zombies, but were only stained with corpse gas. If they released zombies, it would be a disaster.
"I'm going to see a doctor if I'm sick. I think it's probably because I've been in the tomb and I'll get better after a few days of rest. It's not that evil," Xiao Erpao said with a haha.
In fact, what Xiao Erpao wants to say is that there are many evil things in his relationship recently. There have been several things in the village recently, but if they all say them out, I am afraid no one will believe it.
"I looked for it, and the doctor said it would be fine if I had been recuperating for a few days. I hope nothing would happen." Old General Song knocked on Jiefang's shoes and then sat up and said, "I'm going to work, I can still move, and I can earn a little bit."
Mr. Song is from the village in the other side of the mountain. Today, he came to pick apples and was basking in the sun for a day. The corpse gas on his face had not yet dissipated, which shows how heavy the corpse gas was.
"Can the female ghost go to the cemetery?" Xiao Yu paused in his heart, but then said, "It shouldn't be, it's just a matter of these two days. The female ghost shouldn't know where the cemetery is."
It was getting darker, and the villagers in the outside villages brought their own dry food, so when it was time to eat, they would sit under the trees and communicate with each other. The villagers in the distance would set up tents directly in the apple orchard. Because it was summer, it was not cold. Everyone gathered together and ate free apples and surrounded the fire, which was also an interesting thing.
"Xiao Yu, is it okay on the mountain? There are so many people, but there must be nothing wrong. Once something happens, we can't explain it." Xiao Qiang said worriedly at the dinner table.
"Dad, it's okay. That female ghost hasn't dared to come out these days, so you can rest assured! If you are not at ease, we will sleep on the mountain tonight," Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"That's right, I'm not at ease where they are! Losing an apple is a trivial matter. If someone dies, then the family will be either ghosts or humans. You eat more and we will go up the mountain later."
Xiao Yu originally said it casually, but unexpectedly Xiao Qiang agreed! But this is good, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of if you are not afraid of anything. If something happens, you can say anything. If something happens, it will be impossible to argue.
At night, Xiao Yu and Xiao Qiang slept in the same tent. When Xiao Qiang was not paying attention, Xiao Yu directly released the three little ghosts and asked them to patrol around. Once something happened, they would report it immediately! But Xiao Yu forgot something because he promised to burn clothes and paper money for the little ghost, but he didn't expect to forget it today.
"Well, don't think too much, I just forgot. Now I'm on the mountain again, I will give you twice tomorrow, how about it?" Xiao Yu said embarrassedly.
"Hmph, big liar, we waited for a day and didn't receive new clothes," the girl muttered in a low voice.
"Xue'er, don't talk nonsense. The Taoist priest just forgot, he didn't mean it."
"Dao Master, don't worry, we don't have enough money now, but I'd better ask the Taoist priest to remember it tomorrow."
The three little ghosts had different faces, some were happy and some were unhappy. After all, they were just children, and they had no scheming and had everything on their faces. However, Xiao Yu didn't mind. This matter was indeed his negligence. He agreed to the little ghost and forgot, and that was his own problem.
