The idle men who were laughing and scolding didn't notice anything wrong at first. They just laughed and said that Shi San looked so much like the hanged woman that even the person he imitated before felt ashamed.
But after laughing for a while, a companion said again: "Okay, okay, Shi San, stop pretending, come here and have a drink of tea, we have to go on our way later."
"Yes, yes, we will go to Hua County later to see if there is any way to make a living there."
"Hey, let's get back to my words. This time the disaster hit me just right. Before the disaster, I owed more than ten taels of silver. I couldn't afford it even if I sold it. Now the whole village has been flooded, and I'm in a state of despair.
.”
After these idle men called out a few words, Shi San did not speak, and always maintained the posture of a hanged man. His eyes were rolled up and his tongue was sticking out. He looked ferocious and terrifying. Even though it was broad daylight, he looked like this.
It makes people feel chilling and very scary.
"Hey, Shi San, stop pretending." His companion called again with a smile.
But Shi San still ignored them, as if he couldn't hear what they said, and was still hanging there minding his own business, with a noodle tied under his neck.
At this moment, the face of an idle man next to him changed slightly and he said: "There seems to be something wrong with Shi San."
"It's true to hear you say that."
Another person also noticed something strange. He walked over and pushed Shi San gently: "Hey, Shi San, what's wrong with you?"
But before he finished speaking, Shi San, who was hanging there, staggered, lost his balance and fell to the ground, motionless, still maintaining the look of a hanged man.
The idle man checked his breathing and immediately shouted: "No, Shi San is dead."
"What? He's dead." The other companions were also shocked.
Shi San was fine before, laughing and joking with his group, but why did he die all of a sudden?
And looking at Shi San's appearance, it was clear that he looked like he had been after he was hanged.
Did he really hang himself with a noodle?
The remaining idle men looked at each other, and they all saw a bit of fear in each other's eyes. At this moment, they all involuntarily recalled the woman who hanged herself after being humiliated by them and others.
Could it be that the hanged man came to take revenge?
Thinking of this, the remaining few of them suddenly became excited and could not care about anything else. They were so frightened that they ran away in a hurry, not even caring about Shi San's body.
Several people got acquainted after the disaster, and they still had some sense of morality when they were alive. Now that they are all dead, they naturally don't care about their sense of loyalty to help Shi San collect the corpse.
"Hey, you haven't paid yet."
When the shopkeeper saw the group running away, he rushed out of the tea shop and shouted.
"Staff, stop shouting. These people didn't intend to pay in the first place. They are all victims of the disaster. They don't look like they are rich. These people have come here to eat the Overlord meal." At this time, Li Xiuyuan closed the door.
He held the book in his hand and spoke.
The shopkeeper suddenly sighed heavily, with a sad look on his face: "Another loss-making business, and a man was hanged here. Why am I so unlucky to have to encounter such a thing?"
Li Xiuyuan said: "Don't worry about the store. I have paid for the meals these people eat. The store will not lose money."
After saying that, he put down two taels of silver on the table.
After eating a few bowls of noodles and drinking a few bowls of tea, two taels of silver are more than enough, and there is still a lot of profit.
"With the remaining money, I will buy some dry firewood for the store and burn the body. Don't buy a coffin for him. Such a person does not deserve a coffin. He only deserves to be cremated without leaving any bones."
"Sir, how could this happen?" the shopkeeper said in surprise.
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's the last meal for them anyway. Even if someone from the government beheads someone, they will prepare a good meal for the prisoner. By the way, if there are other corpses nearby, they will also
I'd like to ask the shopkeeper to cremate them together. I believe these two taels of silver are enough. Okay, I won't disturb the shopkeeper today and we'll take our leave."
After saying that, he gave a salute, then signaled to the guards, led the horses, and set off.
After seeing Li Xiuyuan leaving, the shopkeeper hurriedly put away the money on the table. Then he looked at the corpse on the ground. When he saw a noodle under the corpse's neck, he couldn't help but shudder.
This man actually hanged himself with noodles.
He has seen many weird things, but he has never seen anything as weird as today.
"Young Master, how did someone die just now?" On the way, the guard asked curiously in a low voice; "Could it be that he was really hanged with noodles? Are there really such strange things in this world?"
Li Xiuyuan said: "Of course he hanged himself to death. Some people's lives are numbered and they naturally deserve to die. All kinds of weird ways of death may happen."
Although the two guards were confused, they didn't ask any more questions.
The three idlers who left the tea shop and went to Huaxian County ran for a while and found that they were frightened in broad daylight. They felt a little embarrassed, but they stopped immediately.
"Bah, why are you running away? We have seen too many dead people, not least this one." said an idle man.
"You're right. This guy Shi San will die sooner or later, but he died while we were eating. It's really unlucky and will affect the uncle's mood while eating."
"Haha, that Shi San is really funny. Noodles hanged themselves. Noodles hanged themselves. Do you think this is funny? Hahahaha..."
The last idle man recalled the scene just now. Instead of being afraid, he burst into laughter.
The two people next to him nodded and said, "It's really funny. It's so painful to die. Even if you are a ghost, you will be looked down upon by others."
"Haha, hang yourself with noodles... I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, I'm going to laugh to death." The idle man kept laughing, bending over and covering his stomach, his body started to twitch, and he didn't know how happy he was.
When the two companions saw him smiling so happily, they couldn't help looking at him with strange expressions.
Is this so funny?
Shi San really hanged himself.
This idle man kept laughing, but as he laughed, his laughter became smaller and smaller, and then his head lowered lower and lower, his face turned red, and he fell to the ground stiffly.
"Plop~!"
Finally, with a weird smile on his face, the idle man lay motionless on the ground, no longer breathing.
"What happened to him? He couldn't have fainted from laughing."
"I don't know, it doesn't look like it."
A companion went over to take a look, but was so frightened that he almost jumped up: "Dead, dead."
"Dead, how is this possible?" The idle man next to him was also trembling all over.
A person who was alive and well before died suddenly.
"I'm really dead, I have no energy left."
After hearing this, both of them had a look of fear in their eyes.
It was just Noodles who hung himself before, but now he made someone laugh to death, which is enough to show that this is not a coincidence or an accident.
"Do you think we have done too many bad things and are now being punished, so the two of them died? It's also possible that we were haunted by the hanger. I heard that women who are too resentful will hang themselves.
Turned into a ghost." said a frightened companion who turned pale.
Under this inexplicable fear, one of the idle men was furious: "I, Qian De, are not afraid of anything. Even if they are all dead, they will not scare me. I have killed everyone.
How could you be afraid of a female ghost?"
After saying that, he looked around and saw a grave mound not far from the roadside.
"Look, isn't there nothing wrong with me in this grave?"
This idle man named Qian De immediately rushed to the grave mound, took off his pants and pooped a dirty and smelly thing on the grave mound.
"Look, I'm still fine. If I don't, a ghost will really come to trouble me. If it really comes, I will chop him alive with a knife."
Chandler squatted on the grave mound, looking triumphant.
But before he could be proud for a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and became confused. He murmured to himself, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. After kowtowing, he grabbed the hand he had just pulled from behind.
The dirty and smelly stuff that came out was stuffed into his mouth.
"It's delicious, it's delicious." He ate it with big mouthfuls and said it was delicious in a vague way.
Soon, after eating the dirty and smelly food, the idle man named Qian De grabbed the dirt from the grave mound and ate it, still shouting that it was delicious, delicious.
Not long after, a large piece of dirt on the grave mound was eaten by him.
I saw that Chandler's belly was bulging high and filled with soil. He fell on the unknown grave mound, foaming at the mouth, rolled his eyes, twitched twice and then stopped moving.
"Dead again."
The last remaining idle man, seeing the strange death of the bold Chan De, immediately trembled with fright. Then his body seemed to be out of control, and he fell to the ground with a thud. He died, and his body gradually
It turned a blue color.
"Death is good, death is good, good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, this is how the world should be, and it should not be indifferent to right from wrong, good and evil should not be unclear."
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan was passing by slowly on horseback. When he saw all three villains dead on the roadside, he couldn't help but feel happy.
The guard was stunned when he saw this.
The person who hanged himself with noodles before was weird enough, but I didn't expect that within a short time, all the remaining three people were dead.
"Young Master, how did these good-looking people die?" the guard asked curiously, feeling extremely surprised.
Li Xiuyuan smiled softly: "One of them thought it was funny because of what happened before, and the other died of swelling. As for the last one, you can see that his body is green, and there are no other wounds or signs of death on his body.
This is frightening to death.”
"Scared to death?"
The two guards thought it was incredible: "Can you scare people to death?"
"Of course, there is a saying in ancient books: If the whole body is green, everyone will think that the coward is broken. People who are too timid will be scared to death. That's how it is, and the body will appear green." After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he added: "Besides, the King of Hell wants to
If a person dies at the third watch, how can he be left alive until the fifth watch?"
"Let's go, Hua County is just ahead."
Li Xiuyuan glanced at the bodies of these people, but ignored them.
