Urban Pirates

Chapter 161 The Inn where the dead live
"Yin... stack" he read out these two words slowly.

The photo shows several houses in Guxi Village, and through a small alley between the houses, you can see that there is a road that is not very clear in the photo far behind those houses, which is of course nothing unusual The reason why it can attract everyone's attention is because there is a house on the side of the road, except for the gate, the rest is blocked by nearby houses, and there are actually a pair of white lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate of the house.

Under normal circumstances, a pair of white lanterns hanging at the gate means that there is a funeral, even if it is not a funeral, it is also related to this kind of thing. The two words that Chu Tianluo just read are the words on the sign on the door of the house.

Chu Tianluo raised his head and asked Wu Jinxuan, "When did you take this photo?"

Wu Jinxuan said directly without even thinking: "It was not long after we entered this village. At that time, I was taking pictures everywhere, and I ran into Liao Zhengxuan just because I saw that thing."

"Tian Luo, what is Yin Zhan?" Ning Ningyu asked curiously.

Chu Tianluo stared at her and said, "The inn is the inn where the dead live."

The two women said in unison: "The inn where the dead live?"

Ning Ningyu's eyes widened in disbelief, Wu Jinxuan was shocked by Chu Tianluo's words, and Zhao Yong showed a thoughtful look.

"You mean, you mean expelling corpses, right?" he asked.

Chu Tianluo nodded.

"Hold the corpse?" The two women were stunned. They had never heard such a word before, but they felt scary enough when they heard these two words.

"Could it be that the corpse can... be rushed?" Wu Jinxuan didn't know what to say, she was full of doubts and curiosity.

"It looks like I need to popularize it for you guys." Chu Tianluo said to the two women with a smug smile, then turned around and sat on the chair next to him, raised his hand and waved to Wu Jinxuan a few times, and then blinked Eyes: "My concubine, get me a piece of watermelon first."

Wu Jinxuan's face darkened: "You don't have hands yourself!"

Chu Tianluo took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhao Yong, lit one himself, and then said to her slowly: "I want you to take it, what's wrong? You don't want to listen to me anymore?"

"Brother Yong, come and tell us." Wu Jinxuan rolled his eyes at Chu Tianluo and turned to look at Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong smiled: "I don't know much about this, I think Tian Luo knows a lot, let him talk about it."

Ning Ningyu was a little dumbfounded, these two people were arguing with each other all the time, but she really wanted to know what Chu Tianluo meant by expelling corpses, so she got up to get the watermelon, but she was caught Chu Tianluo stopped him, this guy just wanted to tease Wu Jinxuan.

"Huh!" Wu Jinxuan snorted, and reluctantly walked to the basin containing watermelon, picked up a piece, then angrily rushed to Chu Tianluo, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Chu Tianluo was choked up immediately, and Wu Jinxuan raised her eyebrows in satisfaction and said to him, "Now you can talk!"

"Ahem...well, then I won't be fooling around." He ate the watermelon in a big gulp, wiped his mouth casually a few times, and then said solemnly.

Chasing corpses can literally be understood as driving corpses away, but in common people's perception, corpses cannot move, otherwise it would be fraudulent corpses, but this chasing corpses, in fact, cannot be fully understood.

To put it simply, this is actually a kind of transportation of corpses. In places with convenient transportation, the coffin can be carried by manpower or picked up by a hearse, or it can be burned into a handful of ashes and put in a jar to take away. However, the ancients all paid attention to burial. Fallen leaves return to their roots, so they will not be cremated and will be buried in their hometown. However, in this area of ​​Western Hunan and the Yuanjiang River Basin, most of the roads are very rugged and the traffic is very inconvenient. It is very strenuous, not to mention walking with heavy coffins, so if you want to use the coffin to carry the corpse back to the hometown, the degree of difficulty is unimaginable.

Therefore, people who live in this place but their hometown is not here, if they want to be buried in their hometown after death, or do not want to be buried in a barren mountain, they will entrust their relatives and friends to transport their remains back before they die, in order to avoid carrying The coffin was bumped on the mountain road, so the unique method of transporting the corpse was born.

And this method is only available in Xiangxi, and there is no such horrific corpse transportation in other places.

Chu Tianluo briefly introduced Qushi, Ning Ningyu and Wu Jinxuan were all stunned, and Zhao Yong was also engrossed.

"Even now, the traffic conditions are much better than in ancient times, but in western Hunan, there are still many places where corpses need to be transported... Let's not talk about the mystery here, but one thing is certain Yes, that is... If the corpse is used as a cover, it will be a good method, after all, even if someone encounters it at night, they will be afraid to avoid it, let alone watch it closely."

Zhao Yong nodded: "If the drug transportation needs to pass through this area, it is easy to be interrogated by the police on the well-built traffic roads. If you choose rugged and remote mountain trails, the concealment is the highest, and at the same time, use corpses as a cover , It’s simply unnoticed.”

Chu Tianluo looked at Ning Ningyu and Zhao Yong very seriously: "There are fewer and fewer corpse exorcisms now. Although the mountain village we are in is a bit remote, it is not a problem to transport corpses normally. If there really is a corpse exorcising team, then it is really suspicious."

Zhao Yong thought for a while, and then said to Ning Ningyu: "When Liao Zhengxuan comes back, let's ask him, and he must know a lot about this situation, after all, there is a Yindian next to the village."

"What is the inn used for? You said it was an inn for the dead, but they are all dead, do they still want to sleep..." Wu Jinxuan asked again.

Chu Tianluo grinned at her: "Watermelon."

"Watermelon? What do you mean? What is the connection between watermelon and exorcising corpses?" The girl showed an unbelievable expression.

Chu Tianluo was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing. Even Ning Ningyu and Zhao Yong couldn't help laughing. It's really interesting that this little girl is serious.

"What are you laughing at?" Wu Jinxuan suddenly felt puzzled.

"I mean watermelon...that." Chu Tianluo pointed to the last piece of watermelon in the basin next to him while speaking.

Only then did Wu Jinxuan come to his senses, and after glaring at him, she went over and brought him the watermelon, urging him to speak quickly.

"This inn is the corpse inn." Chu Tianluo bit off a large piece of watermelon, and began to speak vaguely with puffed cheeks.

"The inn of dead bodies only lives in dead bodies and morticians, and other people do not live there, and its door is open all year round. The two large door panels are where the corpses rest, and the corpses are all on the door panels. Standing at the back. The corpses are always walking at night and resting during the day. The mortician takes the corpse into the corpse inn before dawn, and then leaves quietly at night. You have to stay in there for a few more days."

"Yo, you're all here!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the courtyard, Liao Zhengxuan came back, and he still held a large piece of meat in his hand.

"You didn't go to see it." Liao Zhengxuan walked in, and said to several people with a bright face: "That guy Tie Zhuzi is really powerful. He beat a wild boar that big. No, his mother called me I went over to get the meat, look! Let everyone have a good meal tonight!"

While talking, he held up the piece of meat and shook it in front of everyone, but slowly frowned: "It's really heavy, I almost broke my hand when I lifted it all the way, please help me, two gentlemen." Get it in the kitchen."

Zhao Yong chuckled and walked over to take the wild pork: "Let me carry it."

When Wu Jinxuan heard that wild pork can be eaten at night, her eyes immediately lit up. She has always been a foodie, even when Zhao Yong brought the big piece of meat into the house, she kept looking at it eagerly. with.

Liao Zhengxuan rubbed his sore arm, then sat down with a relaxed expression on his face. After taking a few breaths, he looked at Chu Tianluo, as if he hesitated to speak.

Chu Tianluo saw his expression, so he asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Liao Zhengxuan nodded, and after thinking about it, he finally said it: "After I went to Tie Zhu's house, I heard the villagers say... About you and him, both of you are my friends, I don't want you to have conflicts, I don't want anything to happen in this village."

Chu Tianluo shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I don't want to either."

"The village chief told me...he said..." Liao Zhengxuan hesitated.

"Are you asking you to drive us out?" Chu Tianluo said it himself without waiting for him to speak.

Liao Zhengxuan was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "I hope you don't mind the old man's bad temper. I told him that since you are here, you are all my guests, or guests from the village. It’s not long since I’ve been here, and it’s too unreasonable to drive you away, so he also agreed to let you stay for a while, but he doesn’t want to see any bad things happen again, I think the old man probably saw it too. You had a bad time with Tie Zhuzi... The village chief always wanted to protect the village, I hope you can understand."

Chu Tianluo nodded again and again: "Understood, absolutely understood, it's just a little misunderstanding between Ma Tiezhu and I, it's nothing serious, the village chief and villagers can rest assured that we will never cause trouble!"

"Well, that's good, otherwise I won't be able to tell the village chief what to say." Liao Zhengxuan seemed relieved after hearing what he said.

Seeing that the two of them had finished speaking, Ning Ningyu said, "I have something to ask you."

Liao Zhengxuan said: "If you have anything to say, just talk about it. You don't need to talk about asking for advice or not. It's too outsider."

"I want to know... about exorcising corpses."
