When the sun rose, I had already bid farewell to Mr. Hong and returned to Anjia Village.
The scene in Anjia Village during the day is different from that at night.
The village is eerie and scary at night, with evil spirits escaping.
But the sun is shining brightly during the day, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. The environment of the Shennongjia Forest Area is already good, and the village has not yet been developed. The fragrance of the vegetation is mixed with the smoke of the fireworks in the village, which makes this place have a unique flavor.
If it weren't for the double row of footprints left by zombies on the ground, it would have been as if last night's encounter was a dream.
Xu Senlin is still waiting for me at the gate of the courtyard.
But it was obvious that he was quite haggard.
I know that this old man only knows how to expel ghosts and evil spirits and how to deal with zombies, but he is really not good at dealing with rich and powerful people.
I smiled at Xu Senlin and said, "Old man, it's done."
Xu Senlin opened his eyes wide and said, "Aren't they coming to buy the zombies in the village?"
"How is that possible? The Hong family started by reselling corpses. These zombies are more than 70 years old, and they are all infected with corpse gas."
"How could the Hong family give up? Don't tell me you are trying to reason with them. The Hong family doesn't reason with others at all!"
I stretched out my hands and said, "Everyone in the world is interested in profit. They wanted to catch the little cursed corpse in western Sichuan, so they naturally gave up on Anjia Village."
Xu Senlin took a breath and looked at me with incredible eyes.
After a full two seconds, he shouted in a low voice: "Are you crazy?"
"You want to use yourself as bait to lure the little cursed corpse from West Sichuan?"
"The officials have gathered so many people, and there are masters like Zhang Sanfen and the corpse-chasing master, but they still suffered a big loss. You are playing with fire!"
I said seriously: "Old man, the boss told me that Queen Secret Heart will keep chasing me. Maybe she will be here now."
"This thing won't let me go."
"This time the Hong family is here to help. Even if it fails, we can still stop the other party, right?"
Xu Senlin said angrily: "You don't believe me? If you clean up the spells on your hands, the Little Cursed Corpse in Western Sichuan will naturally not be able to find you."
I smiled bitterly.
The spell has spread.
Not just in the palms of the hands, but also in the eyes.
Now everything I see has black, looming curses, like floaters.
Even if Xu Senlin can clean up this thing, it won't be possible in three or two days.
The key is when will the Secret Heart Queen come?
What if she arrives tonight, or tomorrow night? Can I still live?
Around here, only the Hong family has some skills. For decades, they have been catching corpses and raising them as their specialty.
The reason why I was not invited to Western Sichuan is because of my bad reputation, not because I am not capable enough.
What if this group of people can surprise me?
Xu Senlin suddenly took a step forward. He opened my eyes and took a closer look, his expression became extremely serious.
He said: "The spell spreads very quickly!"
After he finished speaking, he began to rummage through boxes and cabinets in the yard. After a while, he took out a small box. After opening it, there was a fresh fragrance inside.
I couldn't help but smell it. It smelled good, like the fragrance of grass and trees, and it also smelled very cold.
Just that cool feeling.
He took out a cotton swab, picked out the ointment from the box, and applied it evenly on my palms.
On the palm of the hand, the spell has penetrated deep into the skin, as if even the flesh and blood have been affected by the spell.
There was no pain or itching after applying the ointment, but the cool feeling refreshed me.
Xu Senlin carefully applied the medicine on me and said, "This is corpse scent."
"The incantation of the Little Cursed Corpse in Western Sichuan is also a kind of corpse aura, but its nature is completely opposite to that of the corpse incense. The corpse incense can only curb the spread of the incantation, but it cannot cure it."
"Once the spell spreads throughout your body, you basically become a zombie."
"Little guy, go to the yard now and bask in the sun! Otherwise the spell will spread faster."
As he spoke, he moved the tattered single bed out.
You can't tell that this old man is still very strong despite his age.
After working hard all night, I was actually very tired. I was sitting in the yard, basking in the sun, and eating noodles cooked by Xu Senlin.
The old man is very good at cooking. I devoured a simple bowl of noodles.
After eating, Xu Senlin said to me: "If you use the Hong family's help to clean up the little cursed corpse in western Sichuan, I'm afraid the Hong family will definitely die."
"But I know what you have planned. That boy Zhang Sanfen will definitely come, right?"
I chuckled.
That's right, I didn't put my hope in the Hong family at all.
The reason why I told the Hong family about Queen Secret Heart was, on the one hand, to prevent them from buying the corpses in the village at a high price. On the other hand, I also knew that Zhang Sanfen would definitely come over.
My boss is my real support.
Xu Senlin sighed and said, "If you are willing to give it a try, then give it a try."
"Have a good rest now. We have to meet the Hong family people in the evening."
Xu Senlin said a few words and then went back to the house to clean up.
I lay on the bed, covering my eyes with a pillow, and felt the sun shining warmly on my body, which was indescribably comfortable.
I know that if I wait for the spell to invade my whole body, then going out in the sun will basically be like a knife cutting me.
I don't know if I can survive the Queen of Secret Heart.
In a daze, I fell asleep.
It wasn't until a cool breeze blew that I suddenly woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I found that the sun had already set behind the mountains.
Only a touch of golden sunset is still hanging in the sky.
