Chapter 2: Visiting the Inn of Dead Corpses at Night
Deng Long quietly walked into the front yard, which was where the innkeeper lived.
This is a big house with many white candles lit in it. The whole room is very bright. The light of the white candles is cast through the paper windows under the big trees in the yard, making the whole small yard look eerie and scary, reminding me of those pale dead bodies just now.
, Deng Long couldn’t help but feel lingering fear
Just when Deng Long was about to get closer to the window to investigate, he heard a creaking sound, as if someone pushed open the courtyard door and entered the courtyard. Deng Long quickly hid, only to see a dim light shining in the darkness, and two people walking in carrying lanterns.
, both of them were wearing black felt hats. Their appearance could not be seen clearly in the dark, but what could be judged from their bodies was that one was very fat, and the other was very burly, especially the burly man walking in front, who had a steady pace.
Looks like he's a trainer
The burly man knocked three times at the door, and the door opened from the inside. The burly man stepped down to let the obese man go in first. Deng Long felt that the matter was very suspicious. Who would come to the corpse inn so late?
'Come here to stay, not to mention that the 'Corpse Inn' never admits ordinary people to stay, and there are clear regulations: No idlers are allowed in, and no strangers are allowed to come near. These two people didn't look like corpse chasers. Deng Long was immediately suspicious.
He touched under the paper window
Deng Long quietly poked a small hole in the window, and looked through the paper hole quietly. There was a square table in the shop, with a lot of wine, meat, vegetables and fruits on it. There was a pot of charcoal fire burning under the table, and there were people sitting around the table.
The four of them were laughing and talking about interesting things in life.
The fat man in the felt hat was sitting with his back to the door, so he couldn't see clearly. There was also a man with a louder voice who was blocked by the fat man's bulky body, and Deng Long couldn't see his face clearly either.
Deng Long only saw the burly man, sitting on the lower right side of the square table. The man was chewing hard, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, an upturned nose, thick lips and a long beard, and a very fierce look on his face.
I have lived in this town for so many years but I have never seen this person before.
But Deng Long knew the man at the top. His surname was Wu, and he was the owner of the corpse inn. He was rarely seen. Generally, people in the town were afraid of him and avoided him for fear of being contaminated by boss Wu.
The long one has a cold face, his eyes flicker from time to time, his nose is hooked, and his thin horse face shows his cold and narrow heart.
After eating, drinking and talking, the fat man wiped his hands and said coldly: "Friends are friends. I don't care what terrible things you have lost. If my things cannot be delivered to Dashuai Zhang on time, let's all work together."
Waiting to be beheaded”
The man covered by the fat man had a very hoarse voice and said in a low voice: "Sir, this thing is life-threatening. Please give me three more days. I will definitely find that thing back and deliver the goods safely to Zhang Da.
Handsome”
Boss Wu quickly filled up the wine for the fat man and everyone else, and said to the fat man helplessly with a bitter look on his face: "Sir, you don't want anyone to die in our town because of that thing. It's all my fault, no."
Let that thing go carefully, and it’s been bitten. Please give me more time. Director Xing and I will definitely retrieve the thing and complete the mission.”
When the fierce-looking man who had been drinking and eating meat heard Boss Wu's words, he immediately jumped up and shouted loudly: "What is this? Is it so scary? With me, the Hercules Qiu Gang, you are afraid of getting away with it. I miss you."
Back then, we had countless lives on our hands, how could we be afraid of those mere dead things?" As soon as the man finished speaking, the fat man immediately shouted: "Qiu Gang, don't be so presumptuous, when will it be your turn to speak here?"
This vicious man seemed to be very afraid of the fat man. When he heard the fat man's angry scolding, he stuck out his tongue, said nothing, quickly lowered his head and drank.
Deng Long vaguely understood that the fat man was the most powerful among these people, and the one with the hoarse voice was probably the corpse hunter, and he was in partnership with the hook-nosed Boss Wu.
That fierce man was probably the fat man's servant or bodyguard, but they mentioned many times what they had taken away and what kind of goods. Deng Long didn't understand the whole story for a while.
Just hearing a muffled groan, the fat man stood up with his fat body, pointed at Boss Wu and the corpse exterminator and said: "Whether that thing hurts people or not is not the most important thing to me. What I want to tell you is that Marshal Zhang has already
I've been here to urge you over and over again, and I've been keeping it up for you. If you don't set off in three days, don't blame me for not helping you. Then you can go and explain to Marshal Zhang." After saying that, he opened the door with a cold snort and walked out.
Deng Long's guess was correct. The fierce man was the fat man's bodyguard. After the fat man came out, the man followed closely and carefully opened the way with a lantern.
Deng Long hid himself. After the fat man and the fierce man named Qiu Gang left, Deng Long went to other rooms. He felt that these people must have some big conspiracy, which aroused his great curiosity.
Heart, he decided to explore to the end
A strong smell of Chinese medicine mixed with the biting cold wind reached Deng Long's nose. Deng Long followed the smell of medicine and groped towards it. The smell of medicine wafted out from the wooden house in front of him.
This wooden house is built strangely. There is a high wooden frame underground. The two-meter-high wooden frame supports the wooden house above. It seems that this is the bedroom of the master's family. Like this kind of corpse inn,
Generally speaking, Yin Qi is very heavy. In order to avoid the erosion of Yin Qi at night, bedrooms are usually raised off the ground and propped up with bamboo or wooden rafters.
Looking from the window, candles were lit in the wooden house, and the light was relatively bright. From the paper windows, people could be seen passing by from time to time. Deng Long was about to go up the steps to take a look when he heard a violent cough and quickly retreated to the wooden building.
He hid under the wooden roof. As soon as he hid under the wooden roof, a fierce wind of punches came towards him. Deng Long turned sideways and narrowly avoided the punch. The wooden roof was very spacious. The two of them made muffled sounds.
Get angry and use fists and kicks from below
Deng Long already had a solid foundation in Chinese martial arts. The man seemed to be not weak in martial arts. They fought for more than ten rounds. Deng Long and the man pinched each other's wrists and forced each other tightly. The man was so angry that he was about to go crazy.
, Deng Long carefully shushed at the man, and the man snorted coldly and immediately let go of his hand.
Being disturbed like this, Deng Long estimated that there might not be much to explore tonight. Thinking of this, Deng Long said softly to the man: "Brother, you must be here to get things. I tell you, this is a corpse shop. You
But be careful, I won't accompany you. I wish you good luck." Deng Long smiled at the man in the dark, touched the wall and jumped out.
After working for most of the night, Deng Long didn't know what time it was now. It was very cold on the street. Deng Long slowed down and rubbed his hands. He breathed a sigh of relief. What's the secret behind this dead corpse shop? What kind of goods are they talking about?
, who is that fat man? A series of mysteries bothered Deng Long. Thinking about this, Deng Long decided to go to this corpse shop to check it out tomorrow. Just when Deng Long was deep in thought, a smell of fishy smell came from his nose.
Deng Long reacted immediately. Something flew over his head. Deng Long looked up and saw a black shadow jumping straight onto the tiled roof and disappearing in an instant.
Deng Long rubbed his eyes, and the black shadow had disappeared. Deng Long smiled, maybe he was too tired and had hallucinations. In fact, what Deng Long just saw was the zombie that was lost in the corpse shop. If it weren't for him,
The aura produced by the evil-fighting sword scares the zombies. I'm afraid Deng Long is in danger.
Deng Long tightened his clothes and walked quickly towards his small pharmacy, "Don't run! Catch him!" On the cold street, three or five people were chasing a person running towards him.
The man was obviously not familiar with the terrain of this town. He was running around looking around. Seeing that the man was about to run towards the dead end, Deng Long ran towards the man.
The man was running in a panic. Deng Long walked over and grabbed the man and shouted: "Brother, follow me!" The man was stunned for a moment and then followed Deng Long and ran quickly into the night. Relying on Deng Long's knowledge of the ancient town,
, it only took a moment to get rid of the group of people chasing behind.
Deng Long and the man returned to the small drugstore and lit candles. Only then did Deng Long realize that the man in front of him was as young as himself, tall and looked very powerful.
Incompatible maturity and stability
Drinking hot rice wine, the two started chatting. During the chat, they learned that they were the people who fought under the wooden roof. The two were so excited. They didn't expect such a coincidence.
This man's name was Li Kangkai, the deputy captain of the Shanghai Detective Team. He suspected a drug dealer and followed him to this ancient town in western Hunan. Unexpectedly, he was accidentally discovered after Deng Long left. The unfamiliar terrain made him anxious and ready to fight
Fortunately, Deng Long showed up in time to save his life. You must know that many of the people chasing him were experts, especially the corpse chasers who were the drug dealers he suspected.
Deng Long thought that he was also alone. It would be better to help this man do something practical than to do anything. Catching drug dealers was similar in nature to robbing the rich and helping the poor. It was just that one was for the country and the other was more practical. Deng Long was excited when he thought of this.
He said: "If you don't mind, brother, I am willing to help you."
Li Kangkai was naturally very happy. From previous fights, he already knew that Deng Long's skills were not inferior to his. If the two of them could join forces, they would get twice the result with half the effort.
It was the night when the two of them were chatting enthusiastically, and they felt like brothers meeting each other late. However, what surprised them was that the dog barked particularly fiercely tonight. Just as they were raising their wine bowls, there was a shrill scream.
The cry penetrated the cold night sky, making Deng and Li feel terrified.
This was the scream of a person facing great fear. Deng Long suddenly thought of the young man with an injured arm today and the lost thing that the corpse exterminator said. Could it be that such a thing really exists in this world?
Or maybe this thing really starts to harm people, Deng Long felt a chill in his heart and couldn't imagine it.
