Lin Xixue stared at the scene through the crack in the window with all her concentration.
She also wanted to know what would happen if the wrong end was sewn.
The walking corpse has been firmly tied by chains and pressed to the ground, unable to move at all. It doesn't look like a threat.
The refugee was held at knifepoint, his neck stiffened and he moved little by little towards the corpse, picked up the thick cotton thread on the ground, and connected his head and body with rough stitches.
I walked a circle of thread around the neck, but because the stitching method was too rough, it was not tightened, so I went back and forth a few times to reinforce it.
Seeing that the stitches were indeed tight, he turned around, knelt on the ground and took a few steps. He kowtowed to Su Ling Si Guan Cha and said, "Master, I have already stitched it according to your instructions. Please let me go."
!”
The official of the Department of Mortals frowned and saw that the walking corpse had indeed calmed down and no changes had occurred. He murmured: "Could it be that a blind cat encountered a dead mouse and got it right the first time?"
Lin Xixue was also a little surprised when she saw this scene. She couldn't help but sigh that this refugee was really lucky. She was asked to distinguish these five heads, but she couldn't tell them clearly. In the end, she was hit by this refugee all at once.
Already.
However, she shook her head and looked at the refugee with more sympathy in her eyes.
After all, even though he was lucky enough to be right once, he might still have to die here today.
This refugee's heart and lungs were pierced by the knife. He couldn't even scream and collapsed on the ground. His body shook a few times and he couldn't move.
"yes!"
The refugee got up, turned around, clasped his hands above his navel, twirled his thumbs with each other, and walked forward step by step while shrinking.
The corpse stitchers and corpse movers also moved quickly with the help of the messengers, loading all the corpses of the refugees and the walking corpses onto carts and transporting them away.
The official of the Sui Ling Department frowned, hesitated for a moment, and waved, and the policeman beside him took out the horizontal knife from his waist and offered it with both hands.
"yes!"
The refugees outside the city are alone and have nothing to worry about, but the residents in the city all have their own families. With just a little warning, no one will take the initiative to make their lives uncomfortable.
"What an idiot. Mr. Yan has his own reasons."
He took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then threw the handkerchief away, covering the refugee's head.
"My subordinate understands."
However, the official of the Department of Casualties could never have imagined that there were two walking corpses tied to a bench just two streets away in a house.
The officials of the Department of Souls tried every means to cover up the news, so how could they let the refugee who knew about it leave alive?
Seeing that no one answered the door for a long time, the police officer seemed to be angry and started to kick the door.
In fact, if they say they are managing residents, they are just knocking on doors and giving warnings.
Both the magic sword and the jade book require yangshou, and they cannot be used so frequently in the future. If you want to continue using them, you must first find the treasures of heaven and earth that can extend your lifespan.
"Return to my lord, we have been captured."
But speaking of weapons, the Tang Dynasty-made horizontal knives worn on the waists of those officers just now are just standard weapons, but they are really quite impressive.
On the quiet street, it was as if nothing had ever happened.
It’s better to think about the next step first.
"Okay, I will hand it over to the government office tomorrow and handle it according to law."
"What about sewing the heads of walking zombies?"
"A few of you will stay behind to assist the two clerks in stitching up the corpses and driving them away. The rest of you will go with me to dispose of the remaining four corpses."
Do you want to visit other places where walking corpses were found?
She thought about it for a moment and decided not to go.
Lin Xixue silently remembered the three words "Master Yan" in her heart. It turned out that this person who wantonly plundered people's wealth and anointing was named Yan.
He took the knife, caught up with the refugee in a few steps, and then stabbed the sword from the back of the heart and out of the chest.
Before that, we need to find someone who can replace the magic sword for self-defense.
When she thought of this, Lin Xixue couldn't help but laugh secretly.
A small episode in the short night seemed to end peacefully.
Lin Xixue continued to wait and see, wanting to verify whether her guess was correct.
"Sew up the wounds on the refugee's body and send him and the walking corpse out of the city later." He impatiently ordered the cobbler and corpse driver behind him.
Several policemen acted separately, and one of them knocked on the door of the small courtyard where Lin Xixue was hiding, but Lin Xixue was naturally unable to open the door for him.
When the newcomer heard his colleague's rebuke, he wiped the footprints on the door clean with his sleeves and left angrily.
Everyone will tacitly keep silent about tonight's events.
"Also, remember to take care of the residents nearby. I don't want any unnecessary rumors to spread in Xinliang City tomorrow morning."
Although she really wanted to know what would happen if the wrong head was sewn on, and why the cobbler was so taboo about sewing on the wrong head.
But after all, she was just curious, and the matter was not important enough for her to take a big risk and go to the scene to investigate.
Seeing this, the colleagues on the side quickly tried to dissuade him: "Are you tired of living here, the new guy? This yard is Mr. Yan's private residence, so stop kicking him!"
Immediately afterwards, he asked the policeman next to him: "Have you caught the watchman who spread rumors and disturbed people's hearts?"
"To tell you what my lord, I helped carry some heavy objects tonight, and your lord gave me a good meal."
However, the only thing that surprised Lin Xixue in this episode was that the refugee's head was covered right the first time, so that she could not see what would happen if the sewing was wrong.
"Very good, you are a smart man, go ahead!" He waved his sleeves and motioned for the refugees to leave.
After arranging the follow-up matters, the Jingling Department official got on his horse and rushed to other places where the incident occurred.
If in a few days, these two walking corpses are accidentally released and trigger some weird events, how will the officials of the Department of Spirits feel?
As expected, the Jingling Department official pondered for a moment and then said: "It's okay to let you go, but if others ask where you went tonight, what will you say?"
"Master Yan lives in his own official residence on weekdays. This courtyard is usually unoccupied. Stop knocking!"
After all, the residents in the city are different from the refugees outside the city.
Now that Bai Qing is about to wake up, there is really no need to cause trouble again.
The Jingling Department official raised his eyebrows as he spoke, with a hint of threat in his tone.
Several police officers took care of the scene and soon left the street.
"My lord is wise, I just helped carry some tables, chairs and beds. I wonder which walking corpse you are talking about?"
"That's so! Since it's Master Yan's residence, why not just mark it at the door?"
Only a few police officers were left at the scene to clean up the blood stains and take care of the residents.
Or, before finding a way to extend life, use a horizontal knife first?
No, it’s not just one weapon, it should be a lot of blows. The violent attack of the mad sword is too strong, and ordinary iron cannot withstand such violent slashes. I’m afraid the blade will break.
Anyway, I’m not short of money now, so I can just play a few more and use them interchangeably, and I won’t feel too bad.
But in addition to worrying about the weapon, she also heard a lot of content worthy of analysis during the little conversation.
Among them, the content that concerned him the most was the two words mentioned by the two cobblers just now - City God and Sanyuan Guan.
The first chapter has seriously timed out≡(▔﹏▔)≡I am already deeply reflecting on it!
