The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 78 Earthquake Rescue
When talking about this topic, Han Zitong first asked Wang Zehai: "I have never believed in the theory of ghosts and fortune-telling, but this time, you asked Boss Zhou and the other two, but at the same time asked me for help. Do you know why I agreed?"

Wang Zehai shook his head.

For a person who never believed in ghosts and numerology, you tell him to find the corpse under the guidance of a magic stick, and invite her to go with him.Under normal circumstances, this person would never agree, because she didn't believe it, so she didn't think it would succeed at all.

So, why did Han Zitong agree?

Her question aroused my curiosity.This made me think of Han Zitong's performance all the way. After we entered Gurbantonggut, we encountered many strange things. Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren also used some secret techniques many times.But Han Zitong's performance at that time, in retrospect, was a little too calm.

If a person who has never believed in the theory of ghosts and gods or Taoist secret arts, after seeing these things with his own eyes, his world view is subverted and his cognition is refreshed, why should his reaction be so calm?This is obviously abnormal, and I didn't even notice it before.

Seeing me shake my head twice, Han Zitong continued, "That's because I have experienced some weird things, so I just have to believe them."

Immediately afterwards, she began to talk about a bizarre past.

The story is really bloody, but when the story is not a story, but a real thing that happened, it will not make people feel bloody at all, it will only make people sigh and sigh.

Four years ago, in 2008, there was an earthquake in Sichuan.

As an expert in geology, Han Zitong also went to the disaster area to make geological predictions for rescue.

The place she went to was a village far from Wenchuan, the center of the earthquake. In that place, the town was full of brick houses, and the disaster was not very serious. However, the local people told the rescue team that behind a mountain opposite the town, there were still There is a village.

Because there is no road, the village is very poor and backward. So far, kerosene lamps are still lit, and there are not many families who use candles.The houses there are all mud and wood houses in the past, which are not earthquake-resistant at all, and the losses are estimated to be heavy.

However, no rescue team has entered the village yet, and I don't know what the situation is like, whether anyone is dead or not.

After inquiring about this situation, the headquarters immediately formed a small rescue team and formed a group. Together with Han Zitong, a group of seven people entered the mountain.Due to the earthquake and recent heavy rains, the undeveloped and primitive mountain was very difficult to navigate.

Everyone set off during the day, and didn't really enter the village until night.

The village is very small and dilapidated, and the houses are crooked, but not many completely collapsed.Weeds are overgrown around the village, and it seems that no one lives at all.

How is this going?

Could it be that the fellow remembered it wrong?Maybe the people in this village have already left the mountains to live. This place should be the ruins of an old village, right?
But when everyone was wondering, a light suddenly lit up in one of the old houses.

It is the light of the unclear kerosene lamp, dim and weak, but it is difficult to ignore in the old village shrouded in darkness.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and immediately walked towards that room.Before getting close, the gatehouse opened from the inside, and a young man, holding a kerosene lamp, came out from inside.

The moment he walked out, everyone fell into a brief shock.

This young man is still wearing the old-fashioned numb gown. The cloth is blue, old, but clean, with a sense of simplicity.The young man was in his early 20s, with short hair and a well-groomed face. The orange flames imprinted on his face, making the cold mountain suddenly feel warm.

Han Zitong couldn't help but take a second look. She is an excellent woman. Because she loves geology, she often travels around, so she hasn't found a partner. It actually made her heart skip a beat.

The young man recognized them, to be precise, he recognized the military uniform, he smiled and said, "It's comrades of the People's Liberation Army, come in quickly." He let everyone into the house.

The house was very simple, with a firepit in the middle, and a copper teapot was set up to boil water. The walls of the room were blackened by smoke.

As soon as everyone entered, the young people were busy collecting firewood and making tea. Han Zitong came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, we are from the rescue team. We are here to take you down the mountain to seek refuge. Pack up and leave, don't stay any longer."

The young man was stunned for a while, and said in an old-fashioned tone: "Guests who come from afar must drink tea, and the People's Liberation Army must not neglect it." The last sentence made the cloak bring rain, and the six people who had been on the disaster relief line The soldiers felt very sympathetic.

The soldier leading the team was called Yang Yunkai, and said, "Don't bother me, little brother. This is what we should do. By the way, how many people are there in this village?" The village is dilapidated, and the population should not be large.

The young man said: "My grandma and I are the only ones in the village. The rest of the people moved away a long time ago."

Han Zitong said, "What about your grandma?"

The young man seemed to hesitate for a moment when he replied that he was sleeping in the back room.

Yang Yunkai immediately said: "Then tell the old man to get up, pack up and go down the mountain. It's too dangerous for you to live in this place." Earthquakes and heavy rains are often accompanied by mudslides and landslides. An old man and a young man in his early twenties , living in this place is really unbelievable.

Unexpectedly, after finishing speaking, the young man declined: "We live here very well, and we didn't feel the earthquake, so don't bother, grandma is lying on the bed and can't move."

When Han Zitong heard it, he thought it was an old man who was paralyzed, so he couldn't help but praise the young man greatly.At the age of a young man, he shouldn't be nesting in this mountain, and he stayed here all the time, probably just to take care of his grandma, which is really filial.

So the group of people and Han Zitong began to persuade them, but the young man was very stubborn and refused to go down the mountain. Halfway through the persuasion, there was a sudden thunder in the dark mountain, and there was a sudden light outside the door, and a dazzling lightning flashed. However, the sky and the earth are illuminated instantly, and then darkened in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a bean-heavy rain fell from the sky. The rain was astonishingly heavy. The flashlight went out, and the dense rain screen blurred the vision.

How can you go down the mountain in such weather?

Everyone became anxious immediately, but the young man smiled with relief. Han Zitong noticed this little move, and Han Zitong thought it was a little funny, thinking that this young man spoke old-fashioned, like an old man in his seventies. The character is still similar to that of a child.

When the young man saw that he couldn't leave, he took advantage of the situation and said: "It's dark and rainy, everyone will stay at my house tonight, the humble house is simple, please don't be offended."

When Han Zitong heard his polite and old-fashioned words, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and the young man scratched his head in embarrassment.

At that time, Han Zitong did not suffer from facial paralysis.

Since the house is not big, everyone made the floor that night.The young man's grandmother slept in the back room and never showed her face.He gave up his bed to Han Zitong, and he slept on the ground with the marching soldiers.

The quilt felt damp, and Han Zitong found himself in the bed, unable to sleep, even when he fell asleep, he tossed and turned.

In the middle of the night, vaguely, she heard someone talking, as if afraid of being heard, the voice was very low, like mosquitoes and flies buzzing.Han Zitong didn't fall into a deep sleep at first, but when he heard someone whispering in the middle of the night, he woke up immediately.

When I woke up, it was very dark and there was no light. The People's Liberation Army in the outer room were sleeping soundly. They were a group of young soldiers who had been involved in disaster relief work and hadn't had a serious rest for a long time.If it weren't for the sudden mountain rain tonight, they wouldn't have had a chance to rest for a long time.

In the darkness, the whispering voice became clearer. Han Zitong didn't believe in ghosts and gods at that time, so he didn't think too much, just curious, who was talking in the middle of the night?Could it be the young man and his grandma?
For such a big matter, the grandparents and grandchildren should discuss it. Why don't you go lobbying yourself?
Thinking of this, Han Zitong walked towards the back room where the voice came from.

She was well-educated and walked very quietly, so when she walked to the door, no one inside noticed.

The back room was lit with a kerosene lamp, and the young man was talking to the person on the bed. Han Zitong walked along, and the bed was slightly raised, which should be the young man's grandmother.

Han Zitong deliberately made his voice louder to remind them that someone is coming.

When the young man heard the movement, he turned his head suddenly, looking very flustered.

Could it be that he appeared suddenly and frightened him?
Han Zitong showed an apologetic smile.
