I'm the only human in the whole community

The corpse exorcist and Guoan have always been in harmony with each other.

Guoan is a formal department affiliated to the state, little known, but there are serious files, but the exorcists are different. This group of people masters a secret technique, which originated in western Hunan, and they have to perform a ritual every year. migrate.It is said that they have their own line of action, running through the entire country from south to north, awakening the 'corpses' who died in other places, and then sending them back to Xiangxi.

Lu Yao has always felt that the corpse chaser is more miserable - as a poor civil servant, he still has a little salary for a month.The corpse exorcist is purely voluntary labor. I heard that there are many people in this generation, but none of them is willing to take over the duties of the corpse exorcist. Finally, they used some unconventional means to find out the successor of this corpse exorcist. By.

It's the curly hair under his feet, named Wu Ling, an unlucky guy who can get his teeth stuck when he drinks cold water. He stood out from more than 50 tribesmen, got the lottery of the corpse exorcist, and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. In the poor mountains.

The first time Lu Yao saw him was in the northwest area.At that time, he was ordered to hunt down the defected Tao Tie, and he walked all the way up K[-], but he couldn't find the Tao Tie, but when he took a shortcut, he saw a lost idiot—Wu Ling hugged a pile of corpses, crying while eating snow Crying, she was wearing a robe, and she was about to cry.

Lu Yao's intuition is generally accurate.He immediately turned around and walked back, but Wu Ling still saw him, and followed him frantically while crying, only saying one sentence: "Master, give me something to eat."

Lu Yao silently broke the compressed biscuit in half, and then carefully threw it at his feet. Wu Ling picked it up and ate it without chewing, swallowing it whole. After eating, he continued to follow Lu Yao: "Master, give me another Let's eat."

Lu Yao still suspects that he did it on purpose at that time. He said that he was dying, but he insisted on walking more than 20 miles behind him with more than 30 corpses.

He didn't even stop crying and shouting - in the end Lu Yao couldn't take it anymore, grabbed his collar and beat him up.

Wu Ling hugged his leg and cried, his ribs were almost broken, but he didn't let go: "Master, give me something to eat..."

Lu Yao broke down and took out all the dry food on his body, and Wu Ling ran after him while eating: "Master, give me something to eat."

——If it wasn't for meeting the mountain guard who came out to patrol the mountain, Lu Yao felt that Wu Ling would not survive today. At that time, he was so angry that he pushed Wu Ling upside down into the snowdrift...

Later, the two gradually became acquainted.

According to Wu Ling himself, it was the first time he drove a corpse alone, and he accidentally deviated from the correct route, and then went up the snow-capped mountain with all kinds of twists and turns. If it wasn't for Lu Yao's help, he might have died here... ... Hearing Lu Yao's constant regrets, he would have known that he would not have taken a shortcut at that time.

Wu Ling has a really good temper, and he is very slow to react to other people's malice. He doesn't necessarily think there is anything wrong with pointing his nose and scolding him.Every year in July and August, he would pass by Yecheng, and he would drop by to see Lu Yao, which made the community smell of corpses, so Lu Yao simply opened the back door for him and asked him to take a shortcut through the passage.

This year Wu Ling came as usual. Lu Yao squatted down, took out the bell from his crotch, and stuffed it into his arms. When he looked down, he found a note next to him: "All the tea in the guard room is for him to eat." It's over, send people away quickly."

Lu Yao sighed quietly.

Lu Yao kicked him, and Wu Ling hugged his thigh in a daze, bit his trousers, chewed twice, and smacked his mouth.

Lu Yao stepped back: "Let go, I haven't worn the pants a few times."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a stabbing sound. With the cloth strip torn from his trousers in his mouth, Wu Ling jumped up and hugged his waist, with a small curly hair arching his chest, With a stalk in his neck, he swallowed the strip of cloth.

Lu Yao: "..." Are you really fucking asleep?

Wu Ling opened his eyes, he looked small, his skin was white and tender in his 20s, his cheeks were soft, Lu Yao pinched the soft flesh on his face and pulled it out: "Let go."

Wu Ling was pleasantly surprised: "Lu Yao! Are you awake?" He hiccupped, frowned and said, "It's a bit salty."

Lu Yao leaned his back against the wall, Wu Ling knelt on the ground, put his arms around his waist, rested his chin on his lower abdomen, and looked up at him - Lu Yao felt that their actions were a bit vulgar, so he kicked him impatiently Foot: "Get up, find a place to put the corpse, my neighbor will come out to throw garbage at noon, don't scare others."

Wu Ling's eyes sparkled: "Can I put it in your house first? It's too hot outside, and I didn't stuff a lot of cinnabar. It's easy to cheat the corpse if you put it outside."

Lu Yao: "..."

Lu Yao: "I'll open a passage for you now, leave quickly."

Wu Ling was disappointed and said: "Aren't we going to have a meal together? I came out three days early this time, so I can stay here for a while." He took out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Lu Yao like a treasure. In front of him: "I still saved money, let me treat you to dinner."

It's not for nothing that this generation of exorcists almost couldn't find an heir.The corpse hunters started to go north at the beginning of the year, arrived at Mohe in the middle of the year, then walked back, and returned to Xiangxi at the end of the year—they were on the go all year round, eating and sleeping, and occasionally doing odd jobs, with no income at all. , It’s not bad if you don’t starve to death.

Lu Yao softened his heart for a moment, tugged at his little curly hair, and said, "Forget it, keep the money for yourself."

Wu Ling stuffed the small cloth bag into Lu Yao's pocket, grinning with white teeth.Lu Yao turned around and opened the door, and said, "Turn right into the first room, and don't move after entering."

Wu Ling took out the brass bell from her bosom, shook it lightly, and said in a low voice, "Get up!"

The corpse on the ground seemed to be supported by something, and it stood up straight without bending its knees.With both hands in his pockets, Lu Yao watched as Wu Ling ushered them in—there were a group of people, old and young, wearing huge bamboo hats, with cinnabar on their necks, sticking talismans, and wrapping them in cloth strips. Lu Yao smelled a bit of corpse odor, but he didn't show a disgusted expression, but lowered his head slightly.

The dead are the most important, these people are all outstanding Gu masters in Xiangxi, they died in other places because of accidents, and the corpse exorcisers wandered around, just to bury them in their homeland.

Wu Ling tidied up the corpse, stuffed the bell into her arms, and asked Lu Yao, "Have you raised Gu here?"

Lu Yao didn't take it to heart, changed a pair of pants by the way, and said, "No."

Wu Ling frowned suspiciously, then glanced sideways at Lu Yao's bedroom, and tried to walk in, but Lu Yao grabbed him by the collar: "What are you walking around? I'll take you to dinner first."

Wu Ling nodded, and was still worried after walking two steps. She followed behind Lu Yao and said, "If you want to raise Gu, you must tell me. Gu is very poisonous and easy to backfire. Have you read " Yao Zhouzhi"? This is about the snake gu. I think your bedroom smells like snakes."

Lu Yao couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and pressed his head: "Eat or continue to chatter?"

Wu Ling: "Eat!"

Lu Yao took Wu Ling downstairs and said, "You go with me to the guard room to sit for a while, and I will take you out to eat at noon."

Wu Ling blinked and said, "But it's almost eleven o'clock now."

Lu Yao: "...shut up."

If Wu Ling didn't mention it, he would have almost forgotten about getting up late.

Wu Ling followed behind Lu Yao excitedly, looking around, and greeted Miura as she passed the flower bed.He only comes once a year, and most of the time he can only order food from the guardhouse, and then he will leave soon.This is the first time I can live for a few days.

Aunt Jin conveniently stuffed him with a cup of soy milk: "Thanks for your hard work."

A dimple appeared on Wu Ling's face, and she obediently said 'thank you', then looked at Lu Yao, and stuffed the soy milk into his hand like cutting flesh: "You will share half." That's what he said, but his eyes were still fixed on Lu Yao. Landing Yao's hand.

Lu Yao was bored, and before Wu Ling cried out, he gave him a few steel coins: "Go back and buy another cup."

Wu Ling went back happily.

Lu Yao looked at his back and felt like he raised a fool.He went back to the guard room first, and before he opened the door, he saw a bouquet of flowers inside through the glass window.

I don’t know what species it is anymore. The bouquets are beautifully packaged and seem to be quite a lot, but the flower stems are bare. Not only are the petals gone, but also the leaves are not visible. The roses - the thorns were also ripped off.

At this time, Wu Ling came over with soy milk in his hand and said, "Someone brought it to you." He blushed a little: "I think you will definitely throw it away, so I... help you eat some first."
