Chapter 131 (1)
A burst of thunder woke me up from my dream. I opened my eyes and looked at my watch. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon the next day. I got up from the bed in a dizzy state and looked around. What was the thunder? The sun was shining outside. It was bright and there were no dark clouds. The source of the sound was the guy from Erjian snoring again, which woke me up.Shaking his head helplessly, he didn't sleep at all, went into the bathroom and took a shower, refreshed himself, then put on his clothes and went for a stroll outside.

There was silence in the inn, except for the profiteer owner at the front desk who was leisurely drinking tea and reading the newspaper. When he saw me coming out, he smiled and said, "Wake up, all of you over 20 people drank too much last night, three or four in the morning I’ll take a taxi back at [-]:[-], and come drink some tea to hangover.” When he said this, I remembered that Fang Fang’s electric bass solo last night made her the most eye-catching person of the night, and won the praise of all the male players. Favor, it seems that he played another song before he stopped. Brother Zhang was too happy to drink too much. In the end, Erjian and I carried him back to the car. Fortunately, there is a black car near the bar, otherwise we all have to spend the night there .I went over to smoke him a cigarette, got myself a cup of tea, and chatted with him.

The boss is very talkative, almost all he is talking about and I am listening. From his childhood to the present, from his wife to his children, we have talked about this matter of exorcising corpses. The boss said that he had seen exorcising corpses when he was young. , That happened more than 30 years ago, when he was only ten years old, he lived in the nearby village, there was no inn, this place was a dirt road, and there were few pedestrians when the sun went down.Once his dog ran away at night, and he searched outside for a long time but couldn't find it. When he was about to go home, he heard someone beating a gong and yelling loudly: "The god of happiness is passing through the border. Idle people dodge. Lock up the dog!" Following the sound, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat, wearing a blue gown, wearing straw sandals, and carrying a pair of small gongs coming from the distance on the dirt road. He was beating the gong while walking, followed by four The people covered in black cloth lined up in a row, their walking posture was very stiff, their upper body did not move, their arms did not swing, and only their two legs moved back and forth.The middle-aged man with the bamboo hat kept yelling, and the four people behind him moved forward and stopped turning as he yelled, and were directed by the middle-aged man like puppets.

At that time, he didn't know that it was the corpse chaser, and he looked at it curiously. Later, when the corpse chaser saw him, he waved to him to let him go away. After walking a few steps, he stopped again. The corpse chaser Seeing that he didn't leave, he raised the bamboo hat and made a face at him. He was frightened when he saw that face. He ran as fast as he could, and there was a strange laugh from the corpse driver behind him.

The boss took a sip of tea and continued, "Since then, I have been hiding from corpse chasers. It's really scary. After the Cultural Revolution, with the launch of the 'Destroy the Four Olds' movement, the corpse chase business has gradually disappeared, but It is not extinct, and I can still see it occasionally. Now that the reform and opening up, I have watched a lot of ghost movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but I don’t know why I don’t feel the horror at that time.” I asked the boss: “There are many rumors that this Exorcising corpses is a deception, it is a way to cheat money by using living people to dress up as corpses, do you think so?"
