Lin Xixue held her chin and watched the walking corpse twisting in the street for a long time without moving far.
I can't even figure out how to walk, and it's obviously even more impossible to climb over a wall.
She immediately understood that since this walking corpse could not climb over the wall, there was only one possibility for it to appear here.
It was nothing more than the Naxu Mansion being a beggar-thy-neighbor and throwing this corpse into the street in a majestic manner.
After all, the old man of the Xu family is about to have his birthday, so how can such a change be allowed to happen in the family?
It's quite reasonable when you think about it.
It is really trouble-free to no longer worry about other people's affairs. She can observe silently and silently with the attitude of a complete bystander, and her whole mentality is much calmer.
After a while, a group of policemen with knives and lanterns rushed over and blocked the streets and alleys. They then approached step by step, surrounded the walking corpse in a corner, pulled up the chains, and tied the walking corpse until it could not move.
The messenger was followed by an official and two officials.
"I understand!" The officer received the order and immediately rushed to the city gate.
After a while, the first refugee was brought.
Then he called for another police officer and said: "You, within a quarter of an hour, no matter where you come from, find enough food. You must feed the refugees who come into the city later."
"Thirty taels, thirty taels each for you two! If you want to do it, do it, if you don't do it, get out!"
Naturally, the family of her predecessor also had affairs, so Lin Xixue, who had obtained the memories of her predecessor, was naturally no stranger to these trades.
Seeing that the exorcist was still hesitating, the official of the Department of Funerals finally lost his patience, waved his hand and said: "Gungun, I'll call someone else!"
"Then you!" He pointed to the corpse exorcist, "Choose the hardest coffin before dawn, nail the coffin board to me, and then send this walking corpse out of the city."
"Because it's a walking corpse, there will be disaster if it stays in the city. I asked these dozens of messengers to tie it up and hold it down. Just sew his head back while he can't move!"
Therefore, before burial, if the body of the body is missing, a cobbler will be required to sew it up and tighten it, so that the body can be restored to its entirety.
The official of the Jinling Department was choked up when he heard this, his eyes flickered, and a plan suddenly came into his mind.
The cobbler took the package from the horse and opened it, only to see darkness in front of his eyes.
It's easy to guess these two petty officials. Looking at their attire and the things they were doing, I guessed that one was a cobbler and the other was a corpse collector.
When the second cobbler saw that the corpse exterminator had agreed, he immediately discussed with the official of the Department of Funerals in a low voice: "Sir, if you look at this corpse, you have to find its original head first, right?"
Lin Xixue saw the troubled look on the face of the two cobblers, put her mouth close to the ear of the Tingling Division official, and whispered something.
"And you, after the refugees are full, don't bring them all at once, but bring them over one by one, so that others will not notice anything strange and dare not come. Do you understand?"
"There is no need to worry. I have found out the whereabouts of the heads of these five walking corpses, and they will be sent to you later." The official of the Department of Cultivation spoke confidently, as if everything was under control.
However, although his voice was very small and he was very far away from Lin Xixue, Lin Xixue could naturally hear it clearly due to his spiritual awareness.
The cobbler is specifically responsible for the business of sewing corpses together. Different from the previous life, people in this world can accept cremation and pay attention to leaving the whole body after death.
But Lin Xixue has now discovered many strange things about this world. Looking at these customs and taboos, she increasingly feels that there must be some special reasons behind them.
The corpse exorcist naturally had an innocent look on his face and said in confusion: "But sir, this man's origin is unknown, where should I send him?"
The official of the Department of Suspension of Souls had a gloomy expression on his face, his teeth clenched and he shook his sleeves.
Upon hearing such a large reward, the two cobblers immediately beamed with joy and said flatteringly: "Thank you, sir, for the reward!"
"Idiot, I asked you to use the hardest coffin. Do you know what the hardest coffin is? Nail it, then tie it up with iron hoops. If you tie it up a few times, will there be any problems?"
However, Lin Xixue, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, felt that this matter was about to unfold in an unexpected direction.
If these refugees notice something strange later and dare not get in, they will have no choice but to let him get in, and he will be the one who dies.
"Idiots, you two idiots, you just need to send them out of the city. No one cares where you send them. You can just find a mass grave and bury them. The walking corpses can be anywhere before dawn, except in Xinliang City.
understand?"
Tell me why.
Because before she left, she tore off the skins and scalps of all five people, so she could still tell who was who.
The corpse driver and the cobbler looked at each other, hesitating again and again before saying, "Sir, our business is a sideline business, and you know that we must abide by the rules in this business."
These rather complicated taboos before burial were just common customs in the eyes of the predecessors at that time.
What will happen if the wrong end is sewn?
Lin Xixue continued to observe the changes in the situation, and sure enough, just as the tea was being served, a man riding a fast horse arrived with five bloody spherical packages in his hands.
The official of the Department of Suspension looked at the scene in front of him, and his mind was a little confused. He had been working in this position for seven or eight years, and this was the first time he had seen this scene.
"Sir, I'm going, I'm going!"
The second cobbler knelt down, kowtowed, and begged for mercy: "Sir, you are kind, don't say give me fifty taels for this job, even five hundred taels, even five thousand taels I can't do it. You'd better give me three yuan."
The immortals who are watching, please come and do the powwow."
But the corpse exorcist still rubbed his hands nervously and replied tremblingly: "Sir, thirty taels is a lot, but I have to be alive to come back and collect the reward!"
He grabbed the collar of a policeman next to him and said: "Go to the city gate right away and summon five refugees. Just ask them to know how to do simple needlework. You will be rewarded with a full meal if you can come! Go quickly!"
After being driven away, the corpse driver immediately made up his mind. If the vote was successful, it would ensure that he would have no worries about food and clothing for three years.
The cobbler looked at the refugees with clearly unbearable eyes, but he suppressed himself from speaking.
Lin Xixue only glanced at the official's official uniform and recognized at a glance that this person was an official from the Tingling Department under the Yunzhou Prefecture.
"You bastard, sir, don't I have eyes? Don't I know this is a walking corpse?" The official from the Department of Soul Relief lowered his voice and scolded.
"Sir, I am a corpse stitcher, but this is not a corpse, it is a walking corpse. Apparently the city god refused to accept his spirit. Look at me."
"Sir, this, this, how can I distinguish this clearly?"
The two cobblers were almost crying at the end.
As the name suggests, the Jingling Division is an agency set up by the Yunzhou Prefecture that is responsible for collecting corpses and burying the souls.
He gritted his teeth again, stretched out his five fingers, and said: "Fifty taels, try them one by one, one of them will be right!"
The reason for the corpse chaser is that when burying in this world, in addition to requiring the body to be intact, it is best to return the deceased to his roots and return the deceased to his place of origin before burial.
When the first refugee saw the bloody head and the headless corpse wriggling strangely on the ground, he was naturally extremely resistant.
However, when the officer's knife was placed on his neck, he realized that he had no choice.
He had no choice but to pick up a faceless head with exposed muscle tissue and walk towards the walking corpse.
