Those years when I was a corpse guard in Yizhuang

Chapter 1

In the wilderness, on a hillside, stands a dilapidated Yizhuang.

At this time, the sky outside was dark, the cold wind was howling, and the inside of Yizhuang was even more silent.

"Ah!"

The cold wind blew in through the cracks in the earthen wall, which made Li Yu, who had just woken up, sneezed Linglingly, and his nose flowed out.

With a casual wipe with his sleeve, Li Yu leaned over and pulled out a cloth bag from under the bed.

When he saw a few catties of brown rice inside, and seven or eight sweet potatoes and potatoes of different sizes, and a bundle of dried wild vegetables, he couldn't help being stunned:
"Isn't that right?"

"Who is enough for such a little food?"

It's all about complaining, but Li Yu has to face the fact that these things are his food for this winter.

"It's so shabby"

Li Yu sighed.

In his previous life, he was also a demolition household. Not only did his family get an eight-figure demolition fund, but he also divided into two houses. Not to mention that he was tired of eating delicacies, at least he was able to eat and drink well, and there was no shortage of big fish and meat. He had never been wronged like this ?
But according to the memories of the previous life, the world is now in the feudal farming era, with low productivity, and because of years of droughts and floods, as well as harsh taxes, many people may not even be able to eat cornmeal and sweet potatoes!

These days, it's not bad if you don't starve to death, so why is it his turn to be picky?
That's right, Li Yu is a visitor from another world.

His previous name was Li Yu, which was only one letter different from his name. He was originally a first-class citizen who was adopted by a lame corpse guard in Yizhuang.

After the old cripple passed away, Li Yu naturally became a corpse guard, barely making ends meet by relying on this Yizhuang.

Last night, a masked black shadow sneaked into Yizhuang. While his predecessor was getting up at night, he fixed his body with a single finger, then tied his hands into a knife, cut open his waist and abdomen, picked two kidneys and quietly leave.

After the death of Ga Yaozi's predecessor, the body and most of the memories were inherited by Li Yu who came through time.

The strange thing is that after Li Yu woke up, the wound on his waist and abdomen disappeared, and he didn't feel any discomfort, which was very weird.

Of course, Li Yu, who had digested most of the memories of his predecessor, quickly accepted this.

Gein's world seems to be different from his previous world.

The name of this world is Qianyuan, which is similar to the ancient times of his previous life, but there are some unimaginable powers in it.

The old cripple went to a private school for several years when he was a teenager, and then there was an accident at home. After that, he sold wild medicine and joined a caravan. He has seen a lot, and he has witnessed or heard many things.

The old cripple once said to his predecessor that there are many strange people in this arena.

For example, people in the evil way who are proficient in the art of making animals can peel off the skins of black dogs and monkeys and put them on children while they are hot, turning them into monkey dogs, performing arts on the street to make money, or turning them into livestock such as cows, horses, donkeys and sheep to sell. money.

There are also Gu masters who are good at raising Gu, who can drive hundreds of Gu to harm people and save others. Once ordinary people offend Gu masters, they often die without knowing how they died.

There are also some evil cultivators who have refined the art of exorcising corpses, which can exorcise walking corpses and harm people.

In addition, there are warriors with steel and iron bones who pull oxtails upside down, and even the legendary masters who see the dragon without seeing the head but see the tail, and have great magical powers.

Reminiscent of last night, the masked kidney peeler who could cut his waist with only one fleshy palm, Li Yu didn't doubt the old cripple's words.

It's just that from the stable and peaceful social environment in the previous life, Li Yu suddenly came to such a mysterious and dangerous world, and Li Yu's heart was inevitably a little beating and uneasy.

But the sky and the earth are big, and eating is the biggest.

Now his stomach is empty, his body is exhausted from hunger, and he has no mood to think about it, so he simply decided to fill his stomach before talking.

This body is young, only about 17 years old, but the body is a little emaciated due to perennial malnutrition, and looks like a bamboo pole.

At this age, it is the time when the appetite is the biggest and the most edible.

Li Yu found a chipped porcelain bowl, filled a handful of brown rice, grabbed a few wild vegetables, and opened the door to the hall.

On one side of the hall, there is a thin-skinned yellow coffin, engraved with a founding character, the coffin lid is fastened, and there are a few simple wooden beds next to it.

There was also a dead body lying on one of the plank beds, covered with a white cloth, showing the outline of a human, cold and stiff.

A faint rancid smell came, making people sick.

But Li Yu is used to it, or his body has already been used to it.

This is Yizhuang, and it is only natural that there are corpses.

The two bodies were just brought in yesterday.

Inside the coffin was Chen Zhuo, the son of the old tavern owner in Qingshui Town, more than a dozen miles away, and on the wooden bed was Lang Wu, an old bachelor from Guojia Village next door.

The former was an alcoholic, addicted to alcohol. He drank too much and plunged his head into a ditch on the street. No one found him at night. When he went to look for him the next day, he was found drowned.

And that ditch is only half a meter deep.

The latter was even more straightforward, being frozen to death alive.

This kind of thing is very common, there will be a similar situation every winter, Li Yu is not surprised.

These days, being able to have a coffin to be buried after death is something that many poor people can't dream of. Most of them can't even eat enough, and even a piece of clothing has to be worn by the whole family in turn. Once the straw mat is wrapped, it will be over if it is buried in the soil.

Li Yu glanced at a frozen purple arm exposed under the white cloth, he simply lifted the white cloth and stuffed his arm into the white cloth, not daring to look at the stiff dead face.

When I came outside, the chilly wind pierced through the gaps into the clothes, like a blade, and the frozen flesh hurt.

Li Yu simply washed the brown rice and dried wild vegetables, and then soaked them in water.

Brush the iron pot clean again, wait for the water to boil, put in brown rice and dried wild vegetables.

After it was almost cooked, Li Yu quickly poured some water and extinguished the fire.

These firewood are essential supplies for the winter, so save some.

He went back to the inner room with the bowl in his hand. The steaming rice porridge was dotted with scattered wild vegetables, exuding a faint fragrance of rice. It might not look good, but Li Yu couldn't wait to eat it.

The rice porridge was somewhat clear and watery, dotted with some wild vegetables, and tasted light and rough. It was obvious that a large bowl was in the stomach, and even the stomach was swollen, but Li Yu didn't feel full.

Li Yu knew that he was short of oil and water.Anyone who can't eat meat once a year, has clear soup and little water all day long, and is prone to this kind of situation.

However, what Li Yu urgently needs to solve is not the problem of food, but how he should spend this winter.

It is the twelfth lunar month of winter, there is not much food in Yizhuang, and his body is too thin. Once the mountain is covered by heavy snow or he has a cold or fever, it will definitely be a terrible thing!

Moreover, the masked Kidney Peeler last night was also a big trouble!

The masked man had obviously killed Li Yu, if he knew he was still alive, the consequences would be disastrous.

After all, even Li Yu himself didn't know how he survived.

"Brother Li, are you there?"

After eating, Li Yu simply tidied up. It was freezing outside, he had nothing to do, and there were no entertainment activities in Yizhuang. He was about to sleep under the covers, but he heard someone calling him outside the door.

Pushing open the door, he saw a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and strong, with a long scar across half of his face, just like a ferocious centipede, which added a bit of evil spirit to him.

At this time, the visitor's face was flushed from the cold, and he was tightly wrapped in a ragged cotton jacket, stomping his feet and breathing hot air into his hands.

"Hey, Yang An, why are you here? It's windy outside, come in!"

Seeing someone coming, Li Yu hurriedly invited him into the house.

Yang An is a villager in the nearby Guojia Village. He is tall and mature, but he is one year younger than Li Yu, who is 17 years old, and he is quite familiar with his predecessor.

A few years ago, Yang An's father went hunting in the mountains, and accidentally encountered a black bear, which was found dead on the spot.

People in this era are quite taboo about things like death without a whole body.

Afterwards, the old cripple and Li Yu worked together for a whole day to sew and mend the remains, and put together the whole body, so Father Yang was able to bury the whole body.

Since then, Yang An's grandfather and Yang An have been very grateful to the old cripple and his predecessor, and often come to help with things within their capabilities, or send some daily necessities.

"No need."

Yang An shook his head quickly. He subconsciously glanced at the dark hall behind Li Yu. The light inside was dim, and the several morgue beds and coffins against it were a bit gloomy. , said in a low voice:

"Brother Li, my grandfather said that there may be heavy snowfall on the mountain these days. It will be inconvenient for you to be alone in Yizhuang, so let me remind you and send you some cornmeal by the way."

A vicious, tall man who is half a head taller than Li Yu speaks with a bit of timidity and flinching. This seems a bit strange, but Li Yu is not surprised, because Yang An has always been like this since he was a child. character.

Some people look fierce on the outside, but in fact they are soft, kind and timid on the inside.

"That's it"

Li Yu hesitated for a moment, but reached out to take it.

At this time of year, ordinary people have to cut down on food and clothing, and their family rations have to be calculated. Even the landlord's family may not have surplus food.Yang An's grandpa and grandson still thought of him at this time, and sent food, such kindness is rare and precious.

"Okay, then I accept it."

Li Yu is also welcome, he is really short of food now, since the other party has already delivered it, he should just accept it, and repay him when he has a chance in the future.

Perhaps because he has digested most of the memories of his predecessor, Li Yu now naturally integrates into his predecessor's identity without much discomfort. By the way, he added:

"In addition, when you go back later, help me to send a message to the old man, telling him to keep warm, and I will go to see him when the weather is better some other day."

Yang An was stunned for a moment, faintly feeling that the Li Yu in front of him seemed a little different from before, because Li Yu had never said such words before, so he hurriedly nodded in response:
"Hey, I see."

Yang An didn't stay long, and quickly took his leave.

Watching Yang An go away, Li Yu then looked away, looking at the cloth bag containing cornmeal in his hand, he showed a smile.

To be honest, the feeling of being cared about and cared about by others is really good.

Li Yu turned back to Yizhuang, closed the door, turned around and was about to go back to the room, but suddenly stopped and stopped.

Just because on the mortuary bed in front of him, the arm of the corpse under the white cloth protruded out at some point.

The sauce-purple corpse skin clings to the bones, and the palms are as thin as chicken feet, revealing a hint of ferocity.
