The dark beast and his two-dimensional Taoist priest

Seeing Gawain's reaction, the young man curled his lips in satisfaction, snorted coldly, and turned away.

"Everyone, please disperse. It's getting late. Hurry up and go home to eat and rest. I've been hungry all afternoon."

After hearing the young woman's words, everyone began to leave one by one.

"Let's go too." The young woman looked at Mei Qianqian and Gao Wen, took the lead to lead the way, and soon walked away.

Seeing this, Mei Qiantu and Gao Wen quickly raised their heels.

On the way back, the young woman announced her family status to Mei Qianqian and Gawain.

Her name is Wen Ruoxiang. The young man wearing silver earrings just now is her younger brother, Wen Qiyu. Her father is the chief of the Abezhou Miao Village. Most of the people in this village are corpse exterminators who help people to remove corpses. Corpses make a living.

The term "cadaver exterminator" is not unfamiliar to Mei Qianqian. When he was a child, he often heard the old man of the Mei family mention it.

When it comes to corpse driving, everyone knows it, and the most famous one is the corpse driving in Xiangxi.

I believe you have all seen it in TV dramas. The person who drives away the corpse is usually a mage wearing a Taoist robe, wearing a green cloth hat on his head, holding a gong in his hand, and leading the way in front of the corpse with a bag of talismans hidden in his waistband.

While driving away the corpses, he was beating the small gong in his hand and leading the group of corpses forward. He was shaking a soul-catching bell in his hand to keep people away at night and to notify people who had dogs to lock them up.

If there are more than two corpses, the exorcist will string the corpses one by one with straw ropes. Every seven or eight feet away, the corpses will wear a tall blanket hat with several yellow talismans pressed on their foreheads. Hanging on the face.

On the way to exorcise corpses, there will be "dead corpse inns". This mysterious "dead corpse inn" only houses corpses and corpse exorcists, and is not accessible to ordinary people.

Its door is open all year round, because behind the two door panels is where the corpses rest. The corpses stand neatly against the wall behind the door panels.

The corpse collector will arrive at the "dead corpse shop" before dawn and leave quietly at night. If it is difficult to walk on a heavy rainy day, they will stop in the store for a few days and nights, waiting for the rain to stop before leaving.

What surprised Mei Qianfu the most was that Wen Ruoxiang said that she was also a corpse exorcist.

"Aren't corpse exterminators generally men?"

Wen Xiang raised her eyebrows and looked at Mei Qianqian, "Who told you that the corpse exorcist must be a man?"

Mei Qianqian was speechless for a moment: "..." Well, no one has really said this. If he said it was because he watched too many TV series, would anyone believe it? He just subconsciously believed that the corpse-killer could only be a man.

"I didn't expect that a woman could actually be a corpse exorcist. This is the first time I've seen it." Gawain was a little surprised.

"What, you look down on women?" Wen Ruoxiang smiled slightly, with a dark color in her eyes.

Gawain waved his hand, "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that. I just heard that the profession of corpse removal has always been passed down from male to female. If a woman becomes a corpse removal worker, her life will generally be short, and she will not live to be forty years old. ...I didn't mean to curse you!

I was just a little excited, but I didn't expect that I would actually see a live female corpse remover. "

After hearing this, Wen Ruoxiang couldn't help but chuckle, "You have watched too many TV series, right? I don't know the rules in other places, but in Abaizhou there is no such thing as male rather than female. However, what you said about a short life is true. of."

Gawain was puzzled, "Then why do you still want to learn?"

Wen Ruoxiang smiled and said, "Someone has to do some things. Nowadays, most people advocate cremation, and burials are becoming less and less. The profession of corpse removal artisans has begun to decline, and fewer and fewer people are learning this craft.

Although every household in our village has a background as a corpse exorcist, many young men are now unwilling to do this profession. Most of those who have left the village stay in the city and do not want to come back.

But if no one is willing to learn, then this craft will be lost. "

After hearing this, Gawain lowered his head in silence and said nothing. The profession of corpse exterminator is indeed not very popular now.

Nowadays, cremation is basically implemented in the city. Even if you die in a foreign land, you will be cremated and take the ashes home. If you are nearby, there will be a special car from the funeral home to transport the body, so there is basically no need for a cadaver.

But this also resulted in many people not having time to see their loved ones for the last time, and only seeing a handful of ashes when they met again.

There was no words all the way. After arriving at Wenxiang's house, Mei Qiantu told Wenxiang about the Zhang family's daughter-in-law and daughter that the ghost old lady had mentioned.

After hearing this, Wen Ruoxiang called Mei Qiantu and Gao Wen to sit down, prepared tea for them, and then slowly said, "That child is a poor person..."

From Wen Ruoxiang's mouth, Mei Qianqian and Gao Wen finally understood why some people said they were guilty.

The Zhang family's daughter-in-law is named Li Cuilan. She is not from their village, but was picked up and raised by an old bachelor in the village.

The old bachelor's surname was Zhang, and he was not from the village, but a foreigner whose ancestral home was moved here.

At first, the old bachelor treated Li Cuilan like an ordinary father and daughter, but as Li Cuilan grew older and became more mature, the old bachelor began to have other thoughts.

Finally, on a stormy night, the old bachelor forcibly took possession of Li Cuilan.

After everyone in the village found out about this, they all complained about Li Cuilan. The old bachelor was over forty years old, and Li Cuilan had just grown up. This was not a waste of time for others.

Although I couldn't stand it, it was a family matter, and the people in the village couldn't say much.

A year later, Li Cuilan gave birth to a beautiful girl.

Not to mention, although the old bachelor is not very good-looking and is usually slovenly, his daughter is really beautiful and she looks like Li Cuilan. Little beauty.

The old bachelor gave his daughter a nice name, Zhang Yunyi.

The old bachelor was very fond of his daughter, and gave all the best to his daughter. He always kept a close eye on her, for fear that she would be kidnapped.

Everyone in the village thought that he really loved his daughter, but who knew that the old man would not change his ways, and actually did such ridiculous things to his daughter when he was drunk, and forcefully turned a beautiful girl into her? The little girl was driven crazy.

The reason why Zhang Yunyi went crazy was because her newborn child was strangled to death by the old bachelor. The old bachelor believed that the child was an evil obstacle and should not be brought into this world. It was his stain.

Every time he saw the child, he would be reminded of the mischief he had committed. In addition, the people in the village were poking his back every day. In a moment of anger, he accidentally killed the child.

After the child was gone, Zhang Yunyi's mind began to go crazy, and she went crazy, clamoring to find her child every day.

"This old bastard! He's really nothing. He even spared his own daughter! If I bump into him, I'll definitely give him a slap on the face!" When Gawain heard this, his anger became a ball.

"I'm afraid he won't be able to appreciate your reward." Wen Ruoxiang took a sip of tea before speaking calmly.

"Tsk, what? Isn't it illegal to deal with such an old villain?"
