Chapter 124 Burial on the Cliff (1)
"Later, I mobilized the villagers several times to search further away. Just like when I met you today, I found them twice, but only the bones were left. It was only after careful comparison by the family of the deceased that I dared to confirm...
…”
"Sigh... After that, several villages jointly organized nearly 300 people to find out the cause, but still nothing was found. Until the recent cliff burial, more than ten people and I hid at the bottom of the cliff in advance, intending to see what happened to the other party.
What is it!"
"The moment the people above pushed the deceased down and dropped it to the ground, several tall figures dragged the body away. Within three seconds, the body disappeared. By the time we reacted,
After that, I ran out to check and found that those things had long since disappeared, leaving only a long trail of blood on the corpse..."
The corpse collector finally finished speaking. He looked at the two people's reactions and found that they didn't look surprised at all.
"Old man Tong, don't any of you see clearly what those things look like?"
Zhang Han asked curiously.
"Well... their speed was really too fast. Before we could react, the fallen body was dragged away. I only saw one of them that seemed to be covered in hair, and the hair was
It’s a dark red color!”
The corpse collector thought for a moment and answered.
"Dark red? Are you sure it's this color?"
Zhang Han asked.
"That's right! Although I can't see the appearance clearly, the color should be right."
The body picker nodded and said firmly.
After hearing this, the two looked at each other. If those monsters had dark red fur, then the giant apes they saw before should be the monsters the corpse pickers saw.
"Okay, we already understand, so what do you mean now is to ask us to drive away these monsters so that the cliff burial can continue?"
Yunsu thought for a moment and then asked.
"Well, that's about it. The custom of cliff burial has been going on in the mountains for nearly a thousand years. If possible, I sincerely hope to get your help..."
The corpse collector said to the two of them sincerely.
"Since we chose to help from the beginning, we will definitely help to the end, so please don't worry."
Zhang Han replied.
After hearing this, the body picker expressed his thanks again. He looked at the time and felt that the people from the next village were about to arrive on the cliff here, so he said: "You two, they should be arriving soon. Let's meet them halfway."
Let's go to the top of the cliff together, and then please go to the bottom of the cliff to see what's going on..."
The two of them nodded at the same time. Since they have agreed, there is no point in thinking about anything else. The only thing they can do is to try their best to do this well.
"Then let's set off now. There is a corpse cliff inside Shiwanda Mountain. All the villages hold cliff burials here. It happens that this corpse cliff is only a few kilometers away from our village, so we can just wait for them halfway.
Already."
The body picker picked up a big bag, tied it around his waist, and then prepared to go out.
"Sister Yun..."
"Let's go, let's do what he said. It should be the work of the monsters we saw today. As long as we find their lair, it will be easy. This kind of creature is probably somewhat spiritual. By then...
Find them all!"
Yunsu interrupted Zhang Han and said.
The moonlight was quite bright tonight, and the three of them walked along the mountain road slowly, especially the body picker, who seemed to not have to look at the road at all. If it weren't for the fear that the two people behind him wouldn't be able to keep up, he would have run away quickly.
Gone.
"Just wait here for them to come..."
After walking for more than ten minutes, the body picker stopped at a flat place. There were many large gravels embedded in the soil around it, leaving only a small part on the ground, just enough for people to rest.
The two then chose a stone and sat down, closing their eyes and relaxing.
The weather tonight is very sultry. Even in the mountains, you can't feel a hint of cool breeze. Fortunately, the mountains have enough vegetation and the area exposed to sunlight during the day is small, so it's not that uncomfortable for people to stay there.
About twenty minutes later, Zhang Han and his two men slowly opened their closed eyes because they heard the sound of gongs in the distance. Although the sound was deliberately suppressed, in the silence
In the mountains, it seems so harsh.
"Here they come, they will be here in about ten minutes. I made an appointment with them to meet here during the day."
The body picker stood up. He looked into the distance and found that there were streaks of light traveling through the forest. Those were the lights from the flashlight.
Soon, a team of about 20 people appeared in the sight of the three people. Everyone was wearing sackcloth and mourning. Behind them were four people carrying a coffin, and behind them were two people holding two gongs.
One person was knocking, very rhythmically, but because of the night, the sound was suppressed very low...
"Uncle Tong, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Who are these two?"
The leader was a middle-aged man. He walked up, glanced at the two of them and said, it seems that this man should be a family member of the deceased.
"Well, these two are the experts I invited. They are here to help. You know what happened at the cliff burial, right?"
The body picker answered.
"Oh? It turns out to be an expert! You two have really troubled you this time. I hope my father's cliff burial can go smoothly..."
The middle-aged man's eyes were full of surprise. He quickly ran to Zhang Han and bowed deeply.
"Don't worry, you can do whatever you want, don't worry about us, anyway, we will do our best this time!"
Zhang Han nodded and said.
Seeing that it was almost time, the body picker walked to the front of the team and shouted.
Chapter completed!
