Midnight Restaurant

Chapter 72 Zombie rumors
Zombies?I raised my eyebrows, saying that since I was a child, I have seen many ghosts, but I have never seen a zombie, not even once... well, except in movies.

"Zombie?" Su Zi also looked at the bald head curiously.

The bald man lit another cigarette. In order to persuade us not to go to Qingzhu Mountain, he seemed willing to tell us why there were rumors of zombies on Qingzhu Mountain.And I am also very curious, or not just curious.How should this question be addressed?Me, I have seen a lot of ghosts since I was a child, and I am really not afraid of ghosts, so I always feel that I am lacking something compared with normal people.

I kind of wanted to find some exciting psychopathy in zombies.

The bald man smoked a cigarette, sat on the bench in the yard, listened to the howling wind that sounded like ghosts crying, and said, "The earliest story about zombies on the Green Bamboo Mountain was more than 300 years ago..."

300 years ago, during the Qing Dynasty, Sanshan Village was not a village, but a prosperous town.Because of its geographical location, Sanshan Village often comes and goes with some vendors, and there are a lot of migrants.And these vendors often sell everything. Sometimes, in order to rob customers, they will make troubles.

But most of the time, it's just fights, the government mediates, and it's fine to pay some money or something.

But once, something big happened... At that time, Sanshan Village was called Sanshan Town, and there were two large caravans stationed in the town. It's really murderous.That day, the two caravans clashed again because of business interests. At that time, they had a big fight, and many people were injured. After they were reconciled, they also refused to accept each other.And the strange thing is that that night, the youngest son of one of the caravan's guard captains was found tragically dead at the foot of the back mountain!
It is said that he died horribly, unrecognizable and fragmented.

The guard captain thought it was the revenge of the hostile chamber of commerce, so he got angry at that time, and took people to fight with them. This time, he really used the knife and slashed to death.A few people died, and the government didn't go as simple as reconciling this time. They directly arrested the people who were in charge of the two caravans at that time.After some investigation, the government also suspected that the cause of this incident might be that the caravan took revenge and killed the son of another caravan guard captain.

But at this moment, the younger brother of the suspected caravan leader also died, also at the foot of Qingzhu Mountain!Not only did he die, but several other caravan members as well.

The government went to investigate the corpse and found that it was very similar to the child who died before!
And the time of death is about the same.Now that both families are dead, it must not be revenge. The government suspects that the murderer is someone else, and the crimes took place at the foot of the mountain, and blood was found along the mountain road.Therefore, the government ordered that the prisoner might be hiding on Qingzhu Mountain, and ordered the arresters to go up the mountain to search.

Unexpectedly, a total of twelve went there, and only one came back in the end. He also said that there were monsters on the mountain, with green faces and fangs, who would bite anyone they saw, suck blood and eat meat, and were extremely ferocious.The news shocked many people, including an official from the imperial court who came to investigate the situation of the people. The official came to investigate. At first, he did not believe that there was a monster in the mountain, so he sent officers and soldiers to search the mountain.As a result, not only did the officers and soldiers fail to find anyone, but they attracted dozens of monsters with green faces and fangs!

That monster is extremely powerful and extremely fast, and it kills anyone it sees!

At that time, there were countless casualties in the village, and if any of the wounded survived, they would turn into the same monster after a few hours.In the end, the officials became cruel and killed all the villagers injured by the monster, and then ordered to set fire to the mountain.

……

"...After the burning of the mountain, there was no peace. The ghosts of the civilians killed by the officials lingered. Countless ghosts turned Sanshan Village into a place where ghosts gathered and haunted all the year round. And those zombies were not burned to death by the mountain fire. I don’t know. Where are they hiding? In the next few years, unofficial history records that there are often rumors of zombies in Sanshan. In the past hundred years, it has gradually decreased, but it is still impossible to go up the mountain. A friend who traveled with a group before did not pay attention to these Taboo, went up the mountain secretly, and still haven't contacted, it's been three years."

The bald man stubbed out his cigarette and pointed at the door: "The old couple opposite the door are over 90 years old. I have been here several times, and he always reminded me not to go up the mountain. Their son, after going up the mountain, never Never came down."

After speaking, the bald man stared at me and Su Zi, probably thinking that we were frightened.

As a result, before I could speak, Su Zi smiled: "I know these rumors. There are records about this matter in my family's ancient folklore book. However, in fact, these are just rumors. It was summer, and someone in Sanshan Town accidentally ate mad dogs , Infected with rabies, it is not zombies who kill people, but rabies patients. As for Qingzhu Mountain, there are no zombies on it."

Su Zi was very confident when she said this.

"That means you two are still going, right?" The bald man looked at us.

I didn't speak, Su Zi nodded.

He nodded: "Okay, that's fine, but let me explain first, if anything happens to you, you have no responsibility with the tour group. I have already persuaded you, and you insist on going. Everyone else can testify."

"Well, we know. Besides, it doesn't matter if there are really dirty things in Qingzhu Mountain, Master Ye is very powerful." Saying that, Su Zi suddenly leaned close to me.At that time, the bald head, the little Lolita, the fat man, and the temperamental girl all looked at me at the same time. The temperamental girl could say that although I didn't mention what happened just now, she saw it.As for the others, it was strange to look at my eyes.

I took a step away in embarrassment: "Ahem, men and women can't kiss each other, Miss Su, please respect yourself... Well, brother driver, you are definitely not responsible for our problems this time, so you can leave tomorrow without worry."

I said the same thing, and the driver recognized it, nodded, and said, "That's fine, that's it, the rest of you will drive back with me tomorrow..."

In this way, people dispersed.But when it was about to leave, before we left, the fat man suddenly came to my side, bumped me with his elbow, then raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Okay, friend, you are very good at teasing girls, so Hooked up soon?"

I have black lines all over my face...

"Please respect yourself..." After finishing speaking, I returned to my hut without tears.

But I didn't expect that Su Zi actually followed me, told me that she was afraid, and asked if I could live with her.At that time, I firmly grasped the door frame: "Girl, as I said before, men and women can't get close, and people say it's scary. There are many people here, so I don't care, but your reputation as a girl is very important! Don't worry, The way is advanced, and now we are separated by hundreds of meters, if something happens to you, I can feel it too."

Su Zi was stunned for a moment, her face was a little disappointed, but for some reason, the disappointment gradually disappeared, replaced by... a look that seemed to be more infatuated with me, she nodded heavily: "Master, I thought you were Pretend, now I know, you are really different from others, you are a trustworthy good person, oh yes, I will go to work in Ningnan next month, we will definitely become good friends!"

After finishing speaking, he said good night to me with a smile, turned around and left.

My face is full of black lines, I'll go, what's the matter?
"Young man, it's good to be a woman."

"Stop making trouble, Sister Lan, I don't want to die..."

"You won't die, what are you afraid of?"

"Time bombs are even more terrifying! Hey, that's fine, let's not talk about this..." As I said that, I looked outside the door, then closed the door, and lying on the bed, I asked the proprietress in my heart: "Sister Lan, what happened to the boss just now?" When the bald man told the story, did you listen? Are there really zombies on the mountain?"

"It would be great if there is." Du Youlan said quietly.

"No?"

"No, I don't know, whether there is any. I hope there is, otherwise it will be a waste of work." The proprietress said this mysteriously, and I didn't understand it.

But I understand one of the meanings of this, that is, there are really zombies on this mountain.

I'm quite curious about zombies, but they're not ghosts after all, what if I can't stop?The proprietress also revealed before that this sunny doll is just a tool for sound transmission through the air, and the small flying knife still can't come.Then there is a possibility that something may happen to me.What should I do?

"Sister Lan, what should I do if I encounter a zombie? Can I beat a zombie like a crazy bone?"

"Yes you can."

I was taken aback, oops, the ghosts I met recently are all funny.As a result, the second half of the proprietress's sentence almost pissed me off: "...at worst, I can't beat it, I was tortured and killed by zombies."

"Sister Lan, don't make trouble... I won't go if you're like this." I was depressed.

"Hehe..." The proprietress chuckled on the other end of the phone, and then said to me: "Okay, young man, to tease you, zombies are not that difficult to deal with, if something happens, my sister will protect you from the air."

My face was full of black lines: "Stop making trouble, you have said it all, this broken doll can transmit sound, you still can't even throw a knife..."

"Hehe, young man, my old lady is very charming, she can kill you even if she makes a noise, do you believe me?"

"Make... a... sound? I'll go... Boss, this doll will not be supervised by a certain department, will your voice be harmonized into a bi sound?" I raised my eyebrows, and for some reason, I It turned out to be evil.

"Hehe, boy, do you want to die..."

Before the voice of the proprietress turned cold, I hurriedly said that it was getting late, so I went to sleep first, then took the doll out of my chest and threw it aside, the voice of the proprietress cut off instantly, and I also had a good night's sleep.The next morning, when I opened my eyes in a daze, I heard a knock on the door.

I glanced at my phone, I'll go, it's only 03:30.

At that time, I reluctantly got up from the bed and opened the door. Su Zi stood in front of me with a sunny smile on his face: "Master Ye, I'm ready, let's go!"

But I was stunned suddenly, and in my sleepy eyes, I saw the black mist around Su Zi's back. Looking carefully, the black mist didn't surround her, but the whole yard behind her.
