hearse drift

While Gong Xuefeng was angry, he concealed his guilt.

The guilty conscience was because he sneaked out through the dog hole yesterday, and the village chief had clearly told them not to go out without permission.

The anger was because someone stayed up most of the night and came out to dig the dog hole secretly, and dared to do it the next day after the job was done, dare not blame him for the blame.

Fang Li didn't care about washing up, so he walked over with Zhu Yicheng with a towel and toothbrush.

The wall was severely damaged, and it was directly divided into two. The ground was a mess of stones and bricks.

The young people brought by the village chief seemed to be the same ones who were buried with them last night. They were all tall and big, and they stood on each side of them, forming a confrontational situation.

No matter what others say, Gong Xuefeng refuses to admit it.

Anyway, no one saw him go out yesterday.

Although Gong Xuefeng is a little simple, but his mind is not stupid, everyone can hear him humming in a low voice: "Who knows if you turned around and wanted to blame me for the good things you did secretly."

Fang Li was a little dumbfounded.

However, it is really hard to say who planed this wall.

Xie Baiyuan was there last night, he slept soundly, had no dreams all night, and never heard any sound in the yard.

Suddenly, a young man ran towards them, a look of surprise appeared on his face when he saw the bricks on the ground, but he quickly covered it up.

He whispered something in the ear of the village head, speaking in dialect, Fang Li couldn't understand, but the face of the village head changed suddenly, as if something happened that needed to be dealt with urgently.

He hastily said "You guys work hard", and then he just led the people away.

As soon as the village chief left, the yard fell into another kind of embarrassment and stalemate.

Although everyone didn't know each other before, at any rate there was a superficial friendship between wild teammates.

But now that something like this happened, just now half of the people put the suspicion of digging the dog hole on themselves, Gong Xuefeng finally realized one thing: few of these people are good people.

Xu Bozhong was also among those who took advantage of the chaos and blamed Gong Xuefeng.

He originally wanted to use Gong Xuefeng as a bait to try out the consequences of violating the village chief's rules, but he didn't expect the village chief to let it go after hearing a word.

Now he wanted to make amends, but as soon as he leaned over, he was pushed away by Gong Xuefeng's horizontal elbow.

The always silly and sweet person cast a wary look at him, Xu Bozhong touched his nose, and walked away silently.

However, he didn't take Gong Xuefeng seriously in his heart - he was just a newcomer who just got into the car, and after suffering a little bit of hardship, why don't he obediently bow his head to him?

Zhu Yicheng noticed the interaction between the two, and he whispered to the other side, "Did you see that over there? I think this brother can still be saved."

In his opinion, it's okay for people to be innocent and sweet, but they can't be both good and bad.

Seeing Gong Xuefeng's fight with Xu Bozhong's vicious old fox, he was very happy, and he was thinking about whether to observe for a day or two, and draw him into the gang.

Fang Li could tell what he was thinking just by looking at him. He lifted his chin to Xie Baiyuan who was helping fetch water, and said with a smile, "You tell Brother Yuan."

After all, he twisted the clean quilt in the bucket a few times, and got up to dry the quilt.

From the bucket to the drying pole, it is only more than 20 steps.

Fang Li's footsteps suddenly stopped and his nose moved.

The corpse on his back had been exuding a faint burnt smell yesterday.

And now, this smell appeared again, in the yard that can accommodate 20 people.

A few minutes later, Fang Li returned to the barrel.Xie Baiyuan had already replaced the water in his bucket with clean clothes, and the water surface was swaying in the wooden bucket.

He didn't sit down immediately, Xie Baiyuan stretched out his hands, put his hands in his palms, and warmed his hands for him with a sigh of relief.

"It's too cold." Xie Baiyuan clutched his cold hands, frowned, a little regretful, "Sit and rest for a while, and wait for me to come back."

He got up and picked up the bucket and went into the small kitchen at the back. Zhu Yicheng only took a look at Xie Baiyuan's back and knew what he was going to do.

Didn't you feel sorry for your boyfriend and went to boil hot water for Fang Li?

He shook his hands that were about to freeze, thinking he might as well take a break, and when Brother Yuan came back, he asked him to drink some hot water.

Fang Li didn't say a word, he was thinking about something in his mind, and he didn't sit down slowly until Xie Baiyuan entered the small kitchen, like a stiff wooden man.

When he first knew the story between him and Xie Baiyuan, Zhu Yicheng was still a little uneasy. He worried that one day he would wake up and Fang Li would change his temper and become a copy of Xie Baiyuan.

After all, it can be guessed from Xie Baiyuan's few words that Fang Li was not easy to get along with before he lost his memory, and compared with Xie Baiyuan, he would only be worse than Xie Baiyuan.

In the end, he saw that Fang Li had only become a little shrewd, his personality hadn't changed at all, he was still the same person, sometimes he looked silly, and he was quite approachable, so he let go of his anxiety.

Seeing him sit down, the single dog Zhu Yicheng stuffed his hands under his thighs to try to keep warm, and asked casually, "Why do you react so slowly, the weather is so cold, are you stupid?"

Only then did Fang Li rub his cheeks and nose, and responded indiscriminately.

He was anxious just now, he only hated himself for not being able to grow a sensitive dog nose.

There must be something in the yard emitting a burnt smell, but the smell of washing powder was everywhere in the air, mixed together, and he carefully distinguished it for a long time, but he couldn't tell which direction the burnt smell came from.

His past experience and his high vigilance against the No. [-] compartment forced him to think in a complicated direction.

The burnt smell that was smelled on the corpse last night was smelled in the yard today, Fang Li didn't think it was his illusion.

His eyes fell on the destroyed wall, and a ridiculous and bold guess slowly rose in his heart——

Could it be that something broke in last night, that thing is very good at disguising itself, after killing someone, it disguised itself as the other party and mixed in with them.

It's not impossible, he has experienced the copy of the painted skin, maybe that thing is also like this - kills a person, then puts on that person's skin, and becomes the other person's appearance.

As for what that thing was, Fang Li thought of the corpse that he carried to the celestial burial altar last night.

Do corpses come back to life?In other words, will it cheat the corpse?

But weren't all the corpses sent to the celestial burial platform eaten by vultures?He had heard rumors about sky burials, the bones would be smashed and fed to the vultures, it could be said that there was no hair left.

wrong.

Fang Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

It is true that the corpses sent to the sky burial will be eaten up, but they were only responsible for sending the corpses up the mountain yesterday, and did not witness the process of the vultures eating the corpses.

The light was not good at night, and last night he didn't even pay attention to whether there were any leftover vultures on the celestial burial altar.

What if the bodies hadn't been eaten after they descended?

Fang Li turned his head, Xie Baiyuan was boiling water in the small kitchen, eighteen people including Zhu Yicheng were sitting together in twos and threes in the yard, busy with their cleaning work.

Everyone looks normal.

During the noon break, Fang Li called Zhu Yicheng and Xie Baiyuan to a corner and expressed his conjecture.

Zhu Yicheng trembled in fright and said, "My god, isn't this just like parasitism? It was scary enough last night, so I dare not sleep at night, God knows I'm sleeping next door It's people and ghosts."

As he was talking, he suddenly remembered that Fang Li lived next door to him, so he immediately changed his words: "Of course I didn't mean that, I'm still very relieved for the three of us..."

Fang Li waved his hand, and he remembered something when he said that. He asked, "By the way, how did you sleep last night?"

Zhu Yicheng was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "It's good, if you don't have a dream all night, it will be dawn when you wake up."

Fang Li thought to himself, sure enough, there seems to be a mysterious power here, when the schedule stipulates when they go to bed, they must fall asleep at that time.

Xie Baiyuan was looking at him with folded arms, Zhu Yicheng asked curiously: "What's wrong, why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing." Fang Li shook his head, "I care about you."

"Oh, you can't talk nonsense!" Zhu Yicheng laughed, and joked with him, "If Brother Yuan gets jealous, why don't you kill me?"

Fang Li forced a smile.

In the afternoon, they were weaving bamboo baskets. Two people came to the yard and brought two buckets of cement.

Brick also pulled a cart over, and soon, the damaged wall was restored to its original state.

What is strange is that the wall was not completely airtight, and there was a gap intentionally left at the base of the wall.

After observing for a long time, Fang Li realized that this was built according to the original dog hole, and the position and size of the hole were very restored.

He wanted to pull those two people to ask the reason for doing this, but they couldn't understand the language, and after a long time of hand gestures, neither of them understood.

Fang Li sat back on the small bench in frustration.

Gong Xuefeng disappeared for a while, and when he came back, his clothes were stained with dust again, and Fang Li knew at a glance that he had sneaked out again.

I don't know which way he took to avoid being discovered by Fu Xiaoqiang, who was guarding them outside.

Xie Baiyuan is still weaving bamboo baskets, and he looks like an old god is there.

Fang Li winked at him, then raised his chin in the direction of Gong Xuefeng.

Seeing that Xie Baiyuan couldn't react, Fang Li mouthed, "Let's ask him."

The corner of Xie Baiyuan's mouth curled up into a smile, raised his eyebrows, got up and walked towards Gong Xuefeng.

A few minutes later, a few people entered the small kitchen under the pretext that it was too cold to light a fire to warm their hands.

Gong Xuefeng shrank his neck, fell on the firewood and straw and looked at them, like a woman from a good family who was about to be forced to submit, with a vigilant expression on his face: "What are you going to do?"

Fang Li: "Ask you something."

He could guess what he wanted to ask without mentioning Gong Xuefeng, and sure enough, Fang Li asked him, "What did you see when you sneaked out?"

"...Why should I tell you?" Gong Xuefeng suddenly stiffened at this moment, "No one dares to ask you to go out together."

In his eyes, although Fang Li and the others didn't blame him, they were no better than those people.

Fang Li didn't talk nonsense with him, but elbowed Zhu Yicheng, signaling that it was time for him to realize his wish, and to recruit people into the gang.

Zhu Yi comprehended his mind, and walked forward to communicate with Gong Xuefeng in a slow tone.

Move with love, know with reason.

After he spoke for a while, Gong Xuefeng's expression began to waver.

Zhu Yicheng continued: "Do you remember when you first got into the car, who turned the corner and reminded you to be vigilant and stay away from Uncle Xu?"

Gong Xuefeng recalled it for a while, and found that it was indeed the case, and immediately felt relieved.

Fang Li covered his mouth with his hands, and whispered to Xie Baiyuan: "It's too easy to lie."

"It's the same as you were back then." Xie Baiyuan also whispered to him, "You didn't have to lie to me back then, you just followed me spontaneously."

Fang Li raised his hand, rubbed his nose, and gave him a sideways look.

On the other side, Gong Xuefeng has already started talking about his discovery of sneaking out.

"I went out twice, once yesterday and once just now."

Zhu Yicheng said: "Well, let me tell you about what you found yesterday."

Gong Xuefeng said: "Yesterday I first heard the mourning music, and knowing that someone died, I went to the front of that family's house to have a look. I found that none of them were mourning, but rather happy."

"Happy?" Fang Li frowned, "How do you say?"

Gong Xuefeng said: "They're all cracking melon seeds, the whole family is sitting in the room, talking and laughing."

"Then it's today." Gong Xuefeng said here, and paused, "I just went out and found that people in this village seem to be preparing for some festival. It shouldn't be for the New Year. The gates are full of slaughtered cattle and sheep splashing on the ground blood."

"It's a bit like... a sacrificial ceremony."
