Chapter 12 The Scary Corpse in the Forest (2)

Water flows downhill.

I searched all the way along the relatively low terrain, and it didn't take long before I found a stream.

There are moss-covered stones beside the stream. The stream is crystal clear and flows slowly among the rocks. I reached out and touched it, and it was refreshing and refreshing.

I was already thirsty, so I immediately buried my head in the water, gurgling water, only felt that the stream water was cool and had a sweet taste, not to mention how enjoyable it was to drink.

After drinking enough water, I didn't bother to take off my shoes and socks, and just fell into the stream. After all, my shoes and socks were covered with muddy water before. Although they are dry now, they are not very clean.

The water in this stream is clear, and there are many aquatic plants on both sides, so there are many fish and shrimps in the water. From time to time, you can see swimming fish and diving shrimps, but because the water is not deep, the fish are not big, and the shrimps are quite big.

Since shrimps are easier to catch, I was able to catch them vigorously, and soon I caught a lot of them. When I was squatting by the stream and chopping off the heads and tails, I suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps behind me.

I thought it was the other people coming, so I immediately turned my head to ask them to help, but when I turned my head, no one saw it, but saw a dark shadow flashing past in the dense forest behind me.

Although the shadow passed by in an instant, it could still be seen that the other party was very tall and covered in pitch black, definitely not anyone in our team.

That dark skin somehow reminded me of the hand in the mud.

The skin color of that hand seemed to be the same.

"What! Come out!" I didn't care about killing the shrimp, my muscles were tense, I held a saber in one hand, picked up a stone in the other, and watched my surroundings vigilantly.

The Qinling Mountains, from west to east, are branches of Kunlun. Since ancient times, they have been revered as the dragon veins of China. The mountains and rivers make it difficult for modern civilization to enter. The entire Qinling Mountains are still dominated by virgin forests.

At the moment I am in it, with a huge canopy propped up by towering ancient trees above my head, covering all the sunlight, and looking around, there are dense vegetation groups, and the tall black shadow that flashed by has completely disappeared without a trace no trace.

But I know that it is probably hiding in the woods.

I couldn't help but guess, could this black shadow be Thunder Mandrill?After all, its outline is very similar to Lei Xiao, but I quickly denied this idea, because I saw clearly just now that the black shadow has no long hair.

Its skin is more like the kind of black after being burnt, as if coated with a layer of ink, which is very different from Lei Xiao's furry body.

Thinking of those hands in the mud and the watch on my wrist, I just felt my scalp go numb, and I said to myself: Could it be that the driver cheated on his body?

Even if there is a ghost, it shouldn't come out in broad daylight!
I held the knife, held my breath, and listened to the movement around me. For a full ten minutes, I didn't see that black figure again, but waited for the doctor to come.

He rolled a bucket with broad-leaved plants, and put leaves of many different plants in the bucket, and he didn't know what it was for.

Seeing my nervous appearance, he was stunned and said, "What's wrong with you?"

When I saw him, I couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't mention it, did you encounter any danger when you came here?" The doctor shook his head, walked to me, looked at the shrimp at my feet, and said: "You The harvest is good, but you didn’t kill the shrimp right, so give me the knife.” My mind was full of thoughts about that black shadow, and upon hearing that, I handed him the multifunctional folding knife in my hand.

The doctor squatted down, opened the head of the prawn, picked the inside of the prawn head with the knife, and picked out a black ball, and pulled out a black prawn thread: "You just cut off the head of the prawn, but you only cut the stomach. The thread didn't come out."

I said: "You are awesome, did you study medicine and learn to dissect shrimp?"

The doctor shrugged his shoulders and said, "You stayed out alone for a few years, and after eating gutter oil until you vomited, you will naturally learn it slowly. Looking at you like this, you can tell that you are not tired of gutter oil."

I was happy and said: "You don't know that. I shared the rent with Lao Qi. He practiced a good cooking skill in order to find a girlfriend. In the end, he didn't find a girlfriend, so it was cheaper for me." The doctor probably said yes Thinking of Lao Qi's bumpy face, he immediately expressed sympathy.

While he was killing the shrimp, I observed the surrounding environment. There were no outsiders at the moment, so I told him about the watch before and the black shadow just now.

Upon hearing this, the doctor paused for a while, and said, "Are you sure that hand is wearing a watch?"

I pointed to my eyes: "I made a mistake and I will send myself to you for dissection."

The doctor then frowned severely, and then quickly killed the remaining shrimps, saying as he killed, "Then let's move faster and get out of this place as soon as possible."

I saw his expression, although he was serious, but he was not afraid or surprised, so I couldn't help feeling strange.

It shouldn't be his reaction when a normal person hears these things, right?
"Aren't you afraid? Don't you think this is scary and scary?"

The doctor took a look at me and said, "I don't think so, because I have encountered more terrifying and terrifying things than this."

I said: "Don't pretend, pretend to be struck by lightning! What I have encountered in the past two days, I feel that I can brag about it for a lifetime. Have you encountered anything more terrifying?"

Hearing this, the doctor took a deep look at me, followed me back, and said, "Of course, it happened last year. I experienced it myself, and I will never forget it." Out of curiosity, he said, "What's the matter, why don't you tell me about it?"

The doctor did not shirk, nodded, and said: "That matter is actually somewhat similar to what you just said. Listen to me and tell you slowly."

Last year, the doctor participated in an outreach activity and went to a remote mountainous area for voluntary medical consultation.

When I went that day, there happened to be a family in the village who was holding funerals and banquets.

Holding a banquet means having delicious food, and it is rare to have an extra meal in a poor place. In addition, the doctors are obliged to go to see a doctor, so the villagers enthusiastically organize a "dining banquet".

Since it was a funeral, it was taboo, so the doctors were arranged alone in the neighbor's house next door.

The local pattern is that two families share the same courtyard, and the funeral is held by the family next to it. The courtyard is full of guests, and the doctors eat in the back room.For people in poor areas, this meal is an extra meal, but for this group of doctors, it doesn't taste very good. Many people lost their chopsticks early and would rather eat the snacks they brought.

In the end, the doctor was alone at the dinner table eating slowly.

He is not a picky eater, as long as the nutritional structure is not too outrageous, he can swallow no matter how unpalatable it is.

After he finished his meal and wiped his mouth, the rest of the doctors had wandered off to nowhere. When he went out to have a look, he found that the doctors were watching the scene.

Now big cities are cremated. When people die, they go to the funeral parlor, put on make-up, and cremate. Generally, there are no banquets for funerals in the city, so like this kind of dance, singing scriptures, and burning incense everywhere. Paper money funerals are rare for these doctors, so they are watching the strange things around the mourning hall.

In the middle of the mourning hall was a coffin, made of relatively poor material, with only a thin layer of paint on it, and the coffin was not tightly closed.

For the dead in the countryside, there is a custom of stopping the coffin for seven days, and in order to prevent the occurrence of suspended animation, during these seven days, the coffin is generally not tightly closed, and a small slit is left.

In addition, this coffin has to be guarded day and night, and no wild cats, dogs or children are allowed to approach it. The appearance of the dead is horrific, and after lying in the coffin for two days, the appearance has changed drastically. It will frighten children to see the corrupt faces of their relatives through the small cracks; secondly, in folk customs, there is a saying that cats and dogs startle corpses, that is, cats and dogs will cheat corpses by jumping over human corpses.
