my roommate is not human

"Zul! Zu...er! My poor son... ah!!" Mrs. Song's sobs entered Ye Xi's ears, and she couldn't help feeling a burst of sadness.

He thought of Aunt Yu who fainted from crying at Yu Yunze's funeral, and thought of her gray sideburns overnight.

"Brother Song left early, Aunt Song managed to pull Zuer up, and now she suddenly left, leaving her alone, how will she live in the future... It's really pitiful..."

"That's right... Mrs. Song's life is really hard..."

"God is really short-sighted..."

"..."

"..."

The people beside him whispered that what was cut off was not their own heart and soul, so what can they do except say a few words of sympathy?

Looking at the crying old woman and listening to the discussions of the people around him, Ye Xi only felt his heart ache and his eye sockets swelled with warmth.

He involuntarily glanced at the man in the coffin. He was in his early twenties, his eyes were closed, his pale face had obviously been groomed, and he didn't look terrible, but his hands were swollen purple, as if the wind and rain had destroyed thousands of people. Centuries old bark.

"Ah!" Seeing his figure clearly, Ye Xi couldn't help exclaiming.

Everyone was startled by the sudden cry and looked at him dissatisfied.

"What's the matter with you?" Luo Ke frowned and asked in a low voice.

"He, he is the headless ghost who appeared in the room last night!" Ye Xi lowered his voice and leaned into his ear.

Luo Ke's expression changed slightly, he took a few steps closer, and looked at the deceased carefully.

"Who are you?! What are you going to do?!" The mortician yelled, "Stay away, you are responsible for fraudulent corpses?!"

"So what if I'm in charge?" Luo Ke raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly.

"What a big tone, do you want to die?!" The mortician's tone was very aggressive, and he warned in a vicious voice, "If you startle the corpse, everyone will not want to live!"

Mrs. Song was also stunned by the sudden noise, stopped crying, stared at Luo Ke with red and swollen eyes, showing a thoughtful look, and called hesitantly: "You are... Luo Ke?"

"Sister-in-law, I suspect that Zuer's body is strange." Luo Ke said softly.

There was a sudden gasp from the surroundings. Judging by the expressions on his face, no one believed his words.

"Don't talk nonsense!" The mortician said grimly, with a grim expression.

"Is it nonsense? Just verify it." Luo Ke turned to the wilderness and said, "Find me a basin of clean water."

"Luo Ke..." Kuang Ye hesitated to speak in embarrassment.

"Trust me." Luo Ke said firmly.

Kuang Ye looked directly into his eyes, and after a while, he bent his eyebrows and smiled, and said softly, "Of course I believe you." He turned around and told a dark and skinny young man next to him, "Go get a basin of water."

The young man moved very quickly, and quickly brought a basin of clean water.

Luo Ke took the water basin and poured it on the corpse without any hesitation.

Seeing his actions, several people cried out in surprise, but the mortician's face suddenly turned pale, and while everyone was not paying attention, he quietly backed away from the crowd.

"What are you doing?!" Aunt Song rushed forward crying, with so much strength that the two strong women beside her could hardly hold her back. Her hoarse voice was suddenly lost because of her shortness of breath. .

"Don't worry, take a look at Zuer first." Luo Ke said calmly.

Aunt Song turned her gaze to the coffin in a daze, and immediately screamed and covered her mouth.

The others also stared wide-eyed and whispered.

Except for the head, hands and feet, Zuer's entire torso collapsed, as if there were only two or three ribs left to support him.

Wilderness walked to the coffin, bent down, and pulled off the material.

This time everyone saw it clearly, the inside was actually paper, like a paper man made for the dead, supported by a simple support made of a few pieces of bamboo-this is what looks like a rib through the clothes, the paper Soaked in water, everything was soft and mushy, and of course the torso completely collapsed.

"Sir..." Mrs. Song turned around hastily, only to realize that the mortician had sneaked out of the yard and was running away along the mountain road while everyone's attention was focused on Zuer's body.

The angry villagers scolded coaxingly, rushing to chase them out.

Luo Ke stood still, picked up the tribute steamed buns placed in front of the coffin, swung his arms and wrists, took half a step back with his left foot, put on a posture that was convenient for exerting force, and threw it like a discus.

His skill was extremely accurate, the dried steamed bun was cold and hard, and he hit the mortician hard on the back of the head, the effect was like a stone.

The mortician was beaten and fell to the ground immediately.

He reacted fairly quickly, he groaned in pain, jumped up immediately, covered his head and continued to run wildly.

Luo Ke grabbed another steamed bun and continued to throw it, and the mortician was hit again.

After such a delay, several able-bodied villagers managed to catch up with him.

The mortician was very clever. Seeing that he couldn't run away, he decided not to struggle in vain. He turned around and knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed with snot and tears: "Everyone! Aunt, brother, sister-in-law, please spare me! The little old man can’t help it either!”

Angry villagers tied his arms upside down to make rice dumpling, pushed him back, and Aunt Song rushed over to him and beat him desperately, crying, "You bastard with no conscience! Give me back Zuer! Give me back my son!" give me back!"

Wilderness saw that she was panting with excitement and her hands and feet were trembling, worried that she would be too sad to bear, so she hurriedly motioned to the two women next to her to drag her to a bamboo chair to rest.

He walked up to the mortician and asked sharply, "Where is Zuer? What's going on?"

"To tell you the truth, Zuer's arms and legs are broken, so he can only carry the corpse.

When climbing Stanley Peak, the little old man couldn't move anymore, so he had no choice but to come up with this sinister idea.

He brought back his head, hands and feet, and threw his body into the mountain stream below Stanley Peak. "The mortician blinked and narrowed his eyes, and carefully looked at his face while talking.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Song was crying again and wanted to rush over.

"This is the end of the matter, it's useless to kill him," Wilderness stopped her, and persuaded in a gentle voice, "The most important thing is to tell him to quickly retrieve Zuer's body."

"My living ancestors," the exorcist said with a mournful face, his voice trembling, "you can't go below Stanley Peak, it's really haunted there, please spare the little old man!

The little old man just wants to eat and eat, but if there is a way to survive, he will not do this business of earning money from the god of happiness! "Speaking, bang bang bang continued to kowtow.

Ye Xi couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when he heard how miserable he was crying and howling.

Wilderness said with a stern face: "You know there are ghosts down there, and you still threw Zuer down there! It's simply too abominable."

Luo Ke spoke with a half-smile: "It's fine if you don't want to take the initiative, but at worst, I'll leave you there. I just want to be with Zuer, so that he won't be lonely down there."

The mortician suddenly looked like a rabbit whose neck was stuck, his mouth was open and he couldn't speak for a long time, tears trickled down two grooves on his gray-brown face.

Auntie Song rested for a long time, and was fed some water. Now she was more energetic, she suddenly broke away from the person who was supporting her, walked up to Luo Ke, and knelt down in front of Luo Ke: "Luo Ke, Auntie knows you are not Ordinary people, sister-in-law can't trust that bastard, and there is nothing he can do to escape from sister-in-law.

No one else can go with him, so help Auntie and go with him to bring Zuer back! "

Ye Xi and Wilderness hurriedly pulled her up, but she hugged Luo Ke's legs tightly and refused to let go.

"Sister-in-law Song, don't make things difficult for Luo Ke.

Everyone knows how many people died in that mountain stream in the past two years, and Luo Ke was not from the village, so how could he be allowed to take risks? Wilderness sighed, "Don't worry, I'd better go and bring Zuer back." "

"No, you can't, what if..." Mrs. Song shook her head vigorously, tears streaming down her face.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it. No matter what, you can't let Zuer expose the dead body in the wilderness." Kuang Ye said and pulled her up, and pulled her several times before Aunt Song reluctantly let go.

Looking at him in embarrassment, he knew in his heart that he should refuse, but he was also thinking about his son's body, so he was in a dilemma and could only cry non-stop.

"It's getting late, everyone should leave," Wilderness glanced around and ordered gently, "Lock this guy up first, and I'll go find Zuer with him tomorrow morning."

"Wildness!" Someone called nervously.

"You can't go to that mountain stream!" someone advised tremblingly.

Wilderness waved his hand: "Stop talking, I've decided, and I don't think Abba will object."

Luo Ke, who had been silently watching this scene, suddenly said, "Stop arguing, I'll go."

"Luo Ke!" Kuang Ye exclaimed in surprise, "You don't know..."

Ye Xi was also nervous, but he had seen Luo Ke's ability, so he wasn't too worried.

Luo Ke interrupted the wilderness: "It's okay, I have a sense of proportion, just prepare something for me." Then he turned his head and told Ye Xi, "Don't be idle, get up early tomorrow and pick some calamus."

***

Because of something on his mind, Ye Xi couldn't sleep well, and his genius was so bright that he got up.

Luo Ke didn't sleep well, his brows were tightly frowned, as if he was bothered by something, his back was arched, his body was curled up, and the quilt was rolled up to one side.

Ye Xi pulled off the quilt and covered him properly, tucked in the corners of the quilt, and then tiptoedly put on his clothes.

I went out to wash my face, and was shocked by the cold water, and the whole person suddenly became sober.

It was too early, and the whole stilted building was quiet, apparently Kuang Yun and his son were still asleep.

He thought it was early enough, but he turned around the bamboo forest and saw Ai Li sitting on a stone by the waterfall, her body motionless, as if she was concentrating on something.

He liked this careless girl very much, so he greeted happily: "Ai Li! You got up so early!"

Ai Li was immersed in her own thoughts, when she heard a cry suddenly, she was startled and almost fell off the stone.

Looking up and seeing him, he showed a relieved expression, and forced the corner of his mouth to twitch: "Ye Xi, it's you, and you are quite early."

"I'm here to pick some calamus, what are you thinking about sitting here early in the morning?" Ye Xi asked casually.

"..." Ai Li was silent.

"Could it be awkward with the wilderness?" Ye Xi teased.

"You can see it too?" Ai Li smiled bitterly, "He actually doesn't like me very much."
