As soon as the old shopkeeper said this, Wang Yan and the others were stunned for a moment.
It turned out that the old shopkeeper had a nephew named Liu Da. He was twenty-seven or eighty this year, and he was a good businessman. The inn was also jointly run by their uncle and nephew.
His nephew had a daughter-in-law, and he gave birth to a son and two daughters for him in the years when he entered the house.
Since then, this belly has never gotten bigger. Liu Dawei did not know how many famous doctors he visited and how much money he spent on this matter, but unfortunately there was no effect.
Therefore, the two often quarreled, and the relationship was extremely discordant.
As the saying goes, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and it is great to have no descendants. Mr. Liu could not let the incense of the old Liu family end in his own generation. Taking advantage of his young age, he had the idea of divorce his wife and marry another in recent days.
But somehow, his idea reached his wife's ears, and the two quarreled all morning today.
I thought that the anger would disappear and it would pass naturally, but who would have thought that at dusk, this niece-in-law could not think about it for a while, so she hung a rope on the beam of her house and hanged herself.
The nephew went out to buy a coffin, and has not returned yet, and the body of his niece-in-law is currently sitting in that room.
First, in order to avoid causing panic, and secondly, he didn't want people to know that someone died in the inn, which would affect business, so he kept quiet.
Unexpectedly, the sudden arrival of Wang Yan and the three of them wanted to stay at the hotel aggressively, and even suspected that they were a black shop, which was related to the reputation of the hotel. The old shopkeeper was in a hurry and had no choice but to tell the truth.
It's just that the family scandal can't be disclosed. Naturally, there is no disclosure of the behind-the-scenes. It is simply said that the niece-in-law died, and the corpse is currently in the room. If they are not taboo, it is not impossible to arrange to deal with it for one night.
Sleeping in the same room with a dead person makes people panic.
But the matter is urgent, and there is no other way at the moment, so after the three discussed it, the final decision can only be like this.
"This person is dead like a lamp goes out. The shop owner also asks for condolences. My brother just asks for a place to rest. I'll leave at dawn. The shop owner, please make arrangements!"
Li Sheng, a martial arts practitioner, is full of courage and has no taboos, but he is not very afraid. He strongly recommends staying overnight. Now that the weather is getting colder, it is impossible to really stay overnight in the mountains and forests!
Zhang Daoran ran for a day, and his limbs were already weak. He only felt that he was not so tired from chopping wood in the Taoist temple, so he didn't care too much and obeyed Li Sheng's arrangement.
And Wang Yan came from modern times. Although he is not very sensitive to the dead, when he thinks that this world is no better than the original earth, his heart is somewhat uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, the brothers had already made a decision, and he had no choice.
Furthermore, after a busy day, the hard-hitting man couldn't stand it, and he didn't know if it was because he had been on the road for too long.
For the sake of this, the old shopkeeper simply let them go. It's not easy for those who are away from home, and they can help if they can.
Immediately, he ordered Xiao Er to clean the room and tidy it up properly.
After Wang Yan and the others finished their dinner in the lobby, the old shopkeeper led the three of them into the inner courtyard, bypassed several guest rooms, and finally came outside a wooden house.
There are two rooms in this house. You enter through the gate, there is one outside, and there is a big shop on the right. It seems that sleeping three or four people will not be a problem.
On the opposite side of the shop is a simple table and chairs, with an oil lamp burning on the table, a coffee table, and an incense burner.
There was green smoke rising from the incense burner, and a faint fragrance filled the air, as if it was done intentionally, trying to cover up the old musty smell and other odors in the room.
It seems that this room has not been occupied for a long time, but fortunately it is still clean and tidy. I think it was because of the arrival of several of them, it was temporarily cleaned up.
The end of the pavilion is separated by a curtain, and a wooden bed can be vaguely seen inside. A white cloth tightly covers the entire bed, and the rest cannot be seen clearly.
A group of caravans came today, and there were many people, so not only was the guest room overcrowded, but even his and his nephew's room were let out.
The body of this niece's daughter-in-law was originally parked in the nephew's room, but it was temporarily moved to this long-uninhabited pass-through room in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Several guest officers rest early, and the old man will not disturb you."
After arranging all the matters, the old shopkeeper sang, and then turned and left.
"Supreme Taiyi Du'e Tianzun, don't blame me for the trouble!"
After seeing him leave, the three of them made a bow in unison.
They went down the mountain on this trip, in order to facilitate their actions, they all wore secular clothes, and their identities were unknown.
Although he has been up the mountain for so long, he has been accepted as an apprentice by his master, but after all, it has not been officially taught, so he cannot be regarded as a real Taoist priest.
A cold wind poured in from outside the door, and Wang Yan couldn't help shivering. He looked at the room inside the curtain with his eyes, and there was a chill in his heart for no reason.
Involuntarily, I always think of that word in my mind.
"Don't think too much, you're not tired after a busy day! Hurry up and rest, we'll go up the mountain to look back tomorrow morning!"
Li Sheng patted Wang Yan on the shoulder, then finished soaking his feet with Zhang Daoran, and then fell asleep. After a while, he heard snoring.
The long ears, like them, curled up and rested at the corner of the pavement.
As for Wang Yan, after washing up, he crossed his knees on the pavement and recited the Rebirth Mantra silently before falling asleep.
Obviously he was very tired physically and mentally, but for some reason, Wang Yan always felt like a thorn in his back, and he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
Li Sheng and Zhang Daoran slept in the inner end of the pavilion, while he was lying on the periphery near the door. At this moment, the two senior brothers were fast asleep, and Wang Yan turned his head inadvertently, just looking at the room inside.
I don't know where the strange wind came from, and the hanging curtain made of thin bamboo was swayed and swayed, completely revealing the scene inside the house.
Suddenly, Wang Yan's eyes widened.
I saw the corpse lying on the couch, actually lifted the white cloth covering the body, and slowly sat up.
"Corpse... Corpse transformation?"
Wang Yan's heartbeat instantly intensified, and he only felt that his whole body was blown up. He wanted to shout, but it was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't shout at all.
…
Suddenly opening his eyes, Wang Yan took two deep breaths, sweat dripping from his forehead.
The first time I looked at the back room, as always, there was no change, the curtains did not move, and there was no wind entering the room.
Except for Zhang Daoran's snoring, the surroundings were unusually quiet, and there was no sound at all.
It turned out that before he knew it, he had already fallen asleep, and everything he saw just now was nothing more than a dream.
Waving his sleeves to wipe off the cold sweat, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the brothers next to them, the two of them are big hearted, and they slept so deeply.
After this battle, there should have been no sleepiness, but for some reason, at this moment, he only felt dizzy and yawned.
His eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open them, so he thought to himself that it was better not to think wildly, but he couldn't help falling down, facing the door, took a few breaths, and then fell asleep.
"Clang clang..."
In the room where the corpse was parked, the window that was originally closed was suddenly pushed open by something.
The night wind mixed in with the cold air, and a black cat with green eyes emitting a green light climbed up the window.
"Meow… "
With a slight scream, the black cat jumped from the window sill to the counter, sniffed as if looking for something, and after a while, jumped directly from the counter to the corpse.
"Meow… "
Another scream, so late at night, extremely infiltrating.
The black cat waved its claws and kept pulling at the white cloth, as if the thing he was looking for was under the white cloth.
"The Guard is Here"
"Pfft..."
Suddenly, ten stiff and whitish fingers pierced through the black cat's body with lightning speed, and the black cat died on the spot before it could even scream.
The blood flowed out, and the corpse opened its mouth and swallowed it all.
She drank the blood of the black cat and threw the corpse aside. The female corpse tore off the white cloth and slowly sat up from the bed.
