a zombie haunts me

Chapter 34 The Burnt Black Corpse

I felt a cold rush straight up from the soles of my feet, as if directly to the top of my head.

My palm felt as if it was stuck in ice, it was bitingly cold.

A strange wind blew in my face, crawling across my face like dense caterpillars.

It wasn't until I went outside and saw the villagers that I suddenly realized that a puff of green smoke was slowly rising on the mountainside, and the strong smell of sulfur came from there.

In the panic, I saw the village chief's expression changed, as if something frightened him had happened, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and the center of his brows was raised, showing a huge "Chuan" character.

"Let's go and see!"

Under the leadership of the village chief, a group of people walked to the place where the explosion just happened.

Although Susu strongly urged me to go back to the room to rest, but at this juncture, I really have no way to lie down.

At my insistence, Susu had no choice but to accompany me and walk there behind the villagers.

I saw Susu's left half of face covered with hair, hidden a touch of sadness.

After walking for about ten minutes, we finally arrived at the scene of the explosion. Many villagers were already watching there, but no one dared to take a step forward.

I saw some burnt yellow talisman papers around me, and after walking a few steps forward, I actually saw half of the mahogany sword used by a Taoist priest.

Suddenly something flashed in my mind, and my whole body froze.

The violently beating heart seemed to have been cut open suddenly, dripping with blood.

The coldness continued to seep into my body through the soles of the shoes, as if I was stepping on ice, feeling the biting cold.

Ah Lang... Could it be that he was caught by that Taoist priest?

I pushed my way through the crowd like crazy, and rushed straight into the place where the explosion had just happened.

When I pushed aside the last person, what caught my eye was a broken table, and a mess of talisman papers and incense candles.

Under the command of the village chief, several villagers stepped forward and lifted the table, and the next second, I was almost completely dumbfounded.

Under the table was a scorched black corpse, and it was impossible to tell who it was.

My heart skipped a beat suddenly, as if something was pressing on my chest, it made me almost suffocate.

I stared blankly at everything in front of me, a deep fear spread through my pores to my limbs, internal organs.

At that moment, I seemed to be struck by lightning, and I rushed forward like crazy.

My hand touched the scorched black corpse, the skin irritated by the cold body.

The coldness was like tiny bugs, desperately burrowing into my body, until my skin seemed to be numb.

Tears wet my eyes for a moment, I hugged the corpse tightly, my voice choked up: "Ah Lang, why did it become like this, why..."

What I said was blurred, tears fell drop by drop, and all the villagers were stunned.

At this time, Uncle Han walked towards me slowly, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Liu, are Daoist Xue and you related?"

"What did you say, Daoist Xue?"

I stared at him blankly, and the tears stopped for a moment.

"That's right, he is the priest invited by the village chief from the town yesterday to help find the whereabouts of the bronze mirror."

Uncle Han said, his face full of doubts.

At that moment, I quickly pushed away the charred body like an electric shock.

I quickly wiped away my tears and said, "Yes... I'm sorry, I admitted the wrong person."

Uncle Han sighed, and wrapped the charred corpse with a piece of white cloth.

"Uncle, what happened just now?"

The villagers went home one by one, and no one dared to watch the excitement. In front of me, only the stupid uncle who might know the truth was left.

"This... I don't know exactly what's going on. Daoist Xue just opened the altar here to practice, and suddenly there was a strange wind. Just when Daoist Xue raised the peach wood sword and was about to chop it down, it suddenly exploded. The table It became like this, and Daoist Xue also..."

Uncle Han's expression was solemn, as if he couldn't believe what just happened.

"This looks like... like being struck by lightning!"

I was shocked when I heard his words.

Fear shot out of my body like a flame, I swallowed, only to find that my throat was as dry as if I had swallowed sand.

Since I came to this village, three people have died successively.

Among them, the death conditions of Aunt Li and Doctor Wang are almost exactly the same, but what happened to Daoist Xue?
Could it be that when he was collecting ghosts, his skill was not enough and he was backlashed?
The villagers carefully cleaned the explosion site. In the chaos, I saw a moon-white figure standing under a big tree, looking at me and smiling at me...

"Dead zombie, smelly zombie, bad zombie, where the hell have you been?"

At night, Susu had already fallen asleep, and as soon as I got back to the room, I cursed at the air.

The room was very quiet, there was almost no sound at all, so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

"If you don't come out again, I'll go now and look for that bronze mirror."

After I finished speaking, as soon as I turned around, I saw Alang standing quietly behind me.

Even though I'm used to having him by my side, I was taken aback by his sudden appearance.

I quickly put away my frightened expression, and let out a long breath: "Are you willing to come out? Didn't you say you would protect me by my side? Where did you go when I needed you the most?"

I got a little annoyed and stared at him.

"My lady, I suddenly felt that someone moved my tomb last night, so I went back there to have a look."

A Lang smiled at me, holding my hand tightly with cold fingers.

"Someone moved your tomb?" I was shocked, "Is your tomb the cave from last time?"

I looked at him puzzled, his expression was very serious, not like he was lying.

"Yes, although I have already left there, I can still feel it when someone approaches my tomb."

As A Lang said, he slowly pulled me around and gently pressed my lumbar spine.

"Who is it, have you found it?"

How could someone go to A Lang's tomb suddenly? Is it just to rob the tomb?
He was silent for a moment, and replied: "No."

The next second, he suddenly moved in front of me, looking at me affectionately.

I froze, and asked falteringly, "You...why are you looking at me like that?"

He didn't answer, but he looked at me with such scorching eyes despite his cold body.

I couldn't take it anymore, so I gave him a slight push and turned around quickly.

Who knows, he actually moved in front of me in an instant, looking at me with a smile.

"Miss, do you miss me?"

The smile on his face was very strange, and there was a lot of pride in his tone.

I glanced at him angrily, "Who misses you, which eye of yours sees that I miss you?"

"I saw it with both eyes, lady, you cried while hugging that scorched corpse, did you take that scorched corpse for me?"

His questioning made me a little speechless, but in the next second, I began to retort vigorously: "There is nothing, what are you talking about?"

"My lady, I'm not talking nonsense, are you shy?"

He lowered his eyes slightly, his waist-length hair slowly fell from behind his ears to the front, but his face was still so handsome.

My face seemed to have a fever, but I still refused to admit it, "I... I was controlled by a ghost, so I hugged that scorched corpse!"

But he suddenly smiled, the corners of his mouth curled up like a beautiful crescent moon.

"Oh I got it."

After he finished speaking, he hugged me tightly, like the first time he saw me.

An icy chill slowly permeated from his body into my skin and spread to my internal organs.

However, at this moment, the icy coldness on his body made me feel hot all over, so hot that I was about to suffocate.

I wanted to push him away, but he held me so tightly that I couldn't move at all.

"Dead zombie, let me go!"

I yelled angrily, but he suddenly laughed.

A few seconds later, he said to me: "My lady, I can't blame me for this. My body is controlled by a ghost, so I hugged you tightly."

"..." I was speechless for a moment.

I didn't expect that the zombie's skin is so thick, well, I can only admit defeat...

After a long time, he let me go slowly, still with a smug smile on his face.

I gouged him out so badly that I wanted to punch a hole in his face.

"Let's go, I'll show you something."

A Lang's words made me startled, I stared blankly at him for a few seconds, and asked, "What are you taking me to see?"

"My lady, I won't harm you. Didn't Dr. Wang in the village die this morning? Since his death condition is the same as Aunt Li's, don't you wonder if his body is in the coffin?"

He blinked at me, but my heart suddenly jumped a few times.

"You mean to say that Doctor Wang's body is not in the coffin either?"

I asked in surprise, inexplicably feeling a chill surround me, and goosebumps popped out all over my body.

The terrifying ghost hands, the empty coffin dug out from Aunt Li's grave, and Susu's empty eyes like a body controlled by ghosts...

Everything is like a movie screen, played repeatedly in front of my eyes.

Fear is like a sharp barb, repeatedly provoking my tense nerves.

"Whether it's in the coffin or not, don't we know if we go and see it?"

As A Lang said, he turned around slowly. Under the full moonlight, his moon-white robe was so beautiful.

I suddenly remembered that the last time I went to Aunt Li's grave, his robe was stained. At that time, I had a feeling of wanting to see how he wore modern clothes.

I thought, it must be very good-looking, maybe like a star on TV.

"Okay, let's go and have a look!"

Although I was afraid in my heart, I was more curious. I also wanted to know whether Doctor Wang's body was in the coffin.

And so, we ventured off.

It was very dark, and he took me flying in the sky just like that day.

There was a breeze blowing in my face, and I smelled the faint scent of sawdust on him.

There is still no heartbeat in his cold chest, but I can suddenly hear a thumping sound, which has the same frequency as my heartbeat.

Soon, we arrived at the cemetery.

Doctor Wang's tomb was built on the mountain not far from his home. I still vaguely remember the scene of escaping from here yesterday.

Those memories lingered in my mind for a long time, and the fear accompanied those memories bit by bit to eat away at my not-so-firm heart.

Suddenly, I realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this tomb, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.
