Hundred Ghosts

"Wow, you are amazing, you still raise so many little things!" Lin Zi exclaimed.

"That can't be helped. It's not winter now, and dead prey are easy to rot. I can't go to the city every day, so I can only raise the live ones for a period of time before dragging them there for sale." He mowed some grass nearby with a scythe Come here and throw them in the pen for these little guys to eat.

While feeding them, he said, "These little rabbits reproduce very fast. After a few months of breeding, there will be dozens more. Some of them will be sold to the butcher shop owner for [-] yuan. The smaller and cuter ones can be sold on the street. ——Some girls just like this kind of fluffy gadgets, each of which can sell for a hundred yuan!"

"There is also this deer, if it is bigger, it will cost three taels of silver. Anyway, I will be able to survive starvation by relying on them." He smiled, and came back after cutting a large bundle of grass.

"I'll go to the city the day after tomorrow, and I'll bring them with you to the city."

sell it...

Lin Zi thought silently in her heart.

"Okay, that's about it. Let's go in and sleep. Rhubarb can't run for a few days. Let's put the trap back tomorrow."

"Then we will go with you tomorrow." He Huai said.

"no problem!"

It was too late, Orion took out the bacon that had been dried in his house in winter and cooked it for them. After eating so much tasteless barbecue, Lin Zi felt extremely satisfied when he suddenly ate this.

After eating and drinking enough, he and He Huai slept on the floor. Orion's house had a lot of fur, and the floor was so warm that he didn't even want to wake up!

In the middle of the night, Lin Zi was awakened by a sudden sound from the backyard. He woke Orion up and asked him what was going on, whether a wolf had come over, and whether he wanted to go and have a look.

Orion rubbed his eyes and said it's okay... probably those little guys startled each other, and it will be fine in a while.

Lin Zi dubiously lay down on the ground and fell asleep. Sure enough, those movements became smaller and smaller, and after half an hour there was no movement.

But he was woken up early in the morning by Orion's exclamation.

"what happened?"

He Huai said with a serious face, "There is a big problem, all the prey he raised were killed!"

The corpses of his prey were lying here and there in the enclosure, not a single rabbit, deer, pheasant, etc. were left alive!The blood on their necks was dry, but there was no sign of abuse elsewhere.

Lin Zi was stunned, "This...what's going on?"

Orion, a tough guy, was about to cry, "I don't know, what the hell did this do?"

"It shouldn't be done by wild beasts. The wild beasts should eat it on the spot and then take it away." He Huai picked up a dead rabbit and showed it to Lin Zi. "Look at its neck."

There were two blood holes on the furry neck of the little rabbit. The wounds were not very big. Orion took a look, "What kind of thing bites this? It doesn't look like a beast...it looks like..."

He dared not speak.

Lin Zi said for him, "It looks like a human bite, right?"

"But how is this possible?" Orion said, "Forget it, I can deal with the meat and keep it for myself."

"This can't be eaten, it must be buried on the spot." Lin Zi said, "They were bitten to death, but they are not living people, but dead people—or zombies."

Zombies refer to dead bodies that are stiff but moving. They usually appear in places with strong feng shui qi and excessive yin qi. They appear at night and feed on human or livestock blood. They have corpse poison in their mouths.

"You...you're not kidding, are you?"

"Then come with me," Lin Zi told him to carry the rabbit into the kitchen, and cut open the rabbit's body with a knife.

Not a drop of blood was to be seen.

"What's going on here?" Orion was so shocked that he couldn't even hold the hatchet steadily.

"Its blood has been sucked clean by the zombies, and we have to thank your little prey, otherwise, it would have found us last night!" Lin Zi said seriously, "I have already told you that Feng Shui is not good here. , Burying corpses casually is easy to cause accidents, you'd better move out of here, and stay here if you go to other places to beg for food."

His fingers trembled a little, "Okay...let me think about it...what should I do with these corpses?"

"Light it up, burn it."

Orion was very frustrated when the small prey that had been raised with great difficulty disappeared like this, but Lin Zi was right, not only did the carcasses of the burned animals not smell like meat, but instead filled with a strong stench.

"Look at what else you have, pack it up quickly, let's leave first while it's still early, if there are other things, come back tomorrow morning." Lin Zi persuaded him.

"Okay... then, I'll get my bear trap back first, that's what I eat."

"We'll help you get it back together."

This guy put quite a lot of traps. They collected them all morning and even caught a wolf whose hind legs were caught.

But the wolf was dead, just like the small prey of Orion's family, with a hole in its neck and no blood on its body.

Lin Zi and He Huai dragged it up without much effort.

In the distance, the Orion pointed at a trap and shouted at them, "Look quickly! What is this?"

There was a shoe and three toes clipped in the trap. The toes were white with gray spots, and just looking at them made one's scalp tingle.

Lin Zi said, "It seems that your trap did catch that guy at first, but he escaped anyway."

"That……"

"Where are there lonely graves here?"

Orion said without hesitation, "It's all in the northern ravine, and there are all mass graves that we recognize."

"Then go to the mass grave and take a look."

The ravine was full of graves, and there were still a few bones scattered around. Lin Zi frowned and said, "This ghostly place gathers evil spirits. It's worse than the few scattered graves I saw before. The yang energy is not close, and the yin energy The qi is lingering, and the resentment of hundreds of ghosts is soaring...Why did you choose to bury people in this place?"

"Our place is remote, how can we know so many things? It's just that there are few wild animals in this place, and the buried corpses will not be dug up by wild animals." Orion smiled wryly.

"No wonder no wonder..."

"Then what do you say?"

"In my opinion, all the graves should be dug up, and the corpses should be exposed to the sun for three days." Lin Zi rubbed his chin and said.

"This is impossible!"

"So..." Lin Zi narrowed his eyes, and he saw that the soil on a grave was particularly fresh.

"It's that grave! The other graves don't matter! Everything in that grave must be pulled out and burned!" Lin Zi shouted, pointing at the most northerly grave.

"That... is Uncle Wang from the village. He was buried just a month ago."

"Whatever, anyway, I don't think there are many people in your village, and they don't know if they are digging." He Huai said, he moved the fastest, and ran over with the shovel he brought over.

Orion thought for a while, and chased after him to help.

Soon saw the coffin board.

Lin Zi said, "Stop digging, straighten your clothes first."

Several people patted the ashes on their bodies. Orion and He Huai jumped down, pried the coffin nails with a small awl, and then lifted the coffin board up little by little, one on top and the other on the bottom.

Lin Zi found a few sticks as incense and put them in front of the grave, and he didn't know what to say.

After they lifted the coffin board, Orion suddenly found that Uncle Wang's body hadn't decayed yet, his fingers were as sharp as claws, and his face was livid, looking very frightening.

He has no shoes on his left foot, three toes are missing, and there are large bloodstains on his face and clothes.

His scalp felt numb, could it be that the one who killed those small prey yesterday and sucked their blood dry was really Uncle Wang?

Lin Zi asked them both to come up and bring some dry firewood. They piled the firewood around the coffin, and Lin Zi found out a talisman from somewhere and pasted it on the head of the coffin.

"Is there a fire pocket?"

Orion handed him his fire booklet.

Lin Zi opened the fire folder and threw it down. The flames spread rapidly as if pouring oil. The strong smell of corpses filled the mouths and noses of several people, as if they could vaguely hear the cry of the undead.

The fire burned for two hours before it stopped. When he turned to leave, Orion unexpectedly found that there were many pagoda trees around.

By the way, were there pagoda trees here before?

After returning, he first packed up some more expensive things, and he carried the bedding himself, while Lin Zi helped him carry the two wolf belts, while He Huai hugged Rhubarb and followed behind.

This dog is very dishonest, He Huai is always worried that it will pee on his feet...

"There is a house outside the village that we can live in. The owner of the house is a distant relative of mine who just moved out a few days ago. We can live there for a few days. After getting all the things there, I will go to the city to find a house. Work... well, I still have a little savings, and it should be no problem to build a poor house outside the city..." he said.

"Is there anyone living nearby?" Lin Zi asked.

"There are still a few families there. Alas, if you are not forced to return to your roots, who wants to leave your home!" Orion said, "But you have to be careful, the people there are not very friendly."

"Eh?" Lin Zi muttered in his heart.

How far it should be depends on how far you say it.

Then they walked all the way until it was dark and midnight.

The exhausted Lin Zi: "..."

Lin Zi swears that he walked at least twenty kilometers!His leg was about to break, and the wolf fur in his hand seemed like a thousand taels of iron, and his arm was sore and sore.

The two of them didn't have much to do, Orion had been used to walking these roads over the years, these roads didn't matter much to him, and He Huai, an old monster, was even more fine.

Orion stroked his chin and said, "Let's rest here today, and go back early tomorrow morning to continue taking it. Take it once tomorrow, and once the day after tomorrow, it should be almost enough."

Lin Zi's eyes darkened.

Knowing that he might not be able to leave, He Huai suggested, "Let Lin Zi stay here tomorrow, and the two of us will get it."

"That's what I thought too," Orion laughed heartily, "Brother Lin looks thin and weak, and his physical strength really can't keep up."

He Huai defended him, "But Lin Zi is so brave."

Orion scratched his head embarrassingly, "That's true, but Brother He is quite energetic!"

"It's just a dog, and it's not heavy." He Huai let Lin Zi sit on the chair, "Come on, take a rest, and I'll rub your shoulders."
