Chapter 31: The Sleeping Corpse
"You dog guy, haven't you seen the master recovering from his injuries? He still screamed so much, he came back when he came back, and said something bad was wrong. What's more important than our master's injuries?!"
The old butler Chai immediately scolded Gou Sheng, and scolded Gou Sheng so hard that the monk was confused.
"Uh...Uncle Chai, why did I make you angry? Why did you say it as if you were targeting me? After all, I am your godson, you don't need to treat me like this, right?"
Gou Sheng carried his chest with some dissatisfaction, as if the old housekeeper Chai in front of him was no longer his godfather, but his mortal enemy.
"brute!"
Old Butler Chai shouted loudly, reached forward and grabbed Gou Sheng's ear, and immediately grabbed Gou Sheng and screamed. Fortunately, Gou Sheng immediately apologized. Old Butler Chai immediately grabbed Gou Sheng to the bed, kicked Gou Sheng's leg bend, and kicked him to kneel on the ground. Old Butler Chai then said angrily: "I'm getting more and more rude. Today, in front of the master, I want to teach you a good lesson, a beast!"
"Okay, Lao Chai, don't hit the child."
Mr. Liu waved his hand and signaled Mr. Chai to retreat aside, and said to Gou Sheng: "Gou Sheng, you rushed over and what are you going to say? Did those guards catch that man?!"
"Yes...yes, yes, but..."
Gou Zuo's face turned pale in an instant, but before he could finish his words, a noisy voice suddenly rushed in outside the door.
"Who did you catch? Is it the bitch's mistress?!"
Liu Yujuan rushed in with a quick step, and everyone stopped talking. She rushed out to teach the little lady Yunji a lesson, not knowing whether Yunji is living or dead now.
"Don't be ruthless! Cough cough cough..."
Mr. Liu shouted angrily, but the severe pain caused by his injury still made him cough twice and calmed down. Mr. Liu glared at Liu Yujuan and said, "It's big or small, go there!"
"Father, I...hum!"
Liu Yujuan bit her lip in shame and anger, then snorted and turned to the side.
"Gouyuan, you continue to talk about what's going on?"
Mr. Liu waved his hand and signaled Gou Sheng to continue talking.
"Master, the guards caught the man and brought him back, but... but the one who brought him back was a dead person, and that man was completely dead..."
When Gou Sheng said this, his breathing had gradually disappeared and he was almost suffocating.
"Nonsense! That man ran faster than a rabbit, and suddenly rushed out of the hospital wall. He was obviously a trainee and in good health. If several guards hadn't beat him to death, how could he die? Have you seen it clearly? Is it really that mistress?!"
Mr. Liu retorted angrily.
"Master, the guards all said that although they couldn't see clearly at night, the other side of the Wujin Mountain was a barren land. Without anyone else, he saw him fall to the ground, and the guards stepped forward and tied him up!"
Gou Sheng truthfully told the whole story again. This time, when Gou Sheng finished speaking, the room was silent in an instant. Mao Xiaodao and I looked at each other and said nothing.
"How could this happen? That person dies when he says he dies. It would be too ridiculous to say that a martial artist can die by just falling one after another. Alas, no matter what, whether it is a living person or a dead person, since they are all dead, there is no knot that cannot be untied. Just think that God punished the evil beast for us. Dog Sheng, you take those guards and carry the people to the cemetery and bury them..."
Mr. Liu said, leaning slowly on the head of the bed, stopping talking, but sighed deeply, as if this breath had spit out all the reluctance and resentment that had been suffocated in his heart.
"But those guards dare not bury people. It is strange that the person died. I am afraid that there is something dirty. Master, I, I am also afraid..."
Gou Zuo grinned in a conscious way, smiling very ugly, which showed that he was already scared by the man's death.
"What are you afraid of? You are not afraid of when you are alive, but you are afraid of being dead. Besides, what are you big men doing? Go quickly!"
The old butler Chai immediately caught Gou Sheng's words and whispered: "The master is injured now and needs rest. Don't disturb the master's rest anymore. Get rid of the man's body!"
"Uncle Chai, but that person died too..."
Gou Sheng gestded in fear and gestured to stick out his tongue and stare at him.
"Haha! What kind of corpse is it? It's so unwilling to die. Butler Chai, let me and Xiaodao help deal with the corpse. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
I smiled and walked up to me and said.
"It's so good to have Mr. Chen's help. Dogs are left over, thank you Mr. Chen!"
Old Butler Chai smiled at me gratefully and quickly glared at Gou Zuo.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, then I'll take you to see the body."
Gou Sheng lowered his head and thanked him, then stood up and walked out of the room. Mao Xiaodao and I clasped our fists to Mr. Liu, turned around and walked out. At this time, everyone knew that Mr. Liu wanted to calm down very much. Everything seemed to be beyond ordinary people's expectations. It made people accumulate a lot of resentment without any warning. Now there is no place to vent. If the person is dead, how can we vent? The scandal at home has become the saddest thing for Mr. Liu!
"Father, I'm going to go too, Mr. Chen, wait for me!"
"Come back! You are a girl from every family. Where are you going so late? Do you think they are going out to play? Humph! Go back to your room to sleep!"
Liu Yujuan's voice sounded again, but then it was Mr. Liu's angry blame, and in a short while, the sound disappeared.
Mao Xiaodao and I came to the backyard and followed Gou Sheng out of the back door. This back door was a secluded road along the mountain road. The corpse of the mistress was also placed outside the back door. The two guards sat far away on the stone platform and stared at it, but no one dared to approach.
"Brother Chen, you can just go there for such a thing, I don't have to go?"
Mao Xiaodao looked at me with caution, as if he didn't want to stand with me.
"Uh... I'm saying this, after all, this is the business of you Wujinshan. I, an outsider, came from thousands of miles away, so I'm just busy with my work alone. If you go to take a break, aren't you afraid that your master will come back and hit you on the butt? Haha!"
I was stunned for a moment and immediately joked.
"Then, then I'll go alone, you stay and rest. In short, I won't work with you until today. My family teacher said that I would keep away from the person with the name of "wine" today. It's true. If I go on with you again, I really don't know what other unlucky things will happen to me, hum!"
Mao Xiaodao was still covering his nose and set a distance from me from afar. I was stunned for a moment and had to stand inside the door and watch him go for a corpse alone.
"Since you can do this alone, I can only rest leisurely."
I smiled and waved my hand, found a clean stone platform anywhere, and lay on it directly. This little guy is so big that he can really do this. Then why bother to go there again? Why should I have a good sleep? Maybe Dao Ren will come back tomorrow, and my Qingyang stone is also settled...
It seems that everything is imagined to be too beautiful, but it is often difficult to achieve.
"Ah! Brother Chen, you... come and have a look!"
Mao Xiaodao's voice suddenly came in from outside the door. I frowned and stood up quickly, but walked out without rushing.
"Senior Brother, what's the matter? Aren't you going to avoid me? It's not yet here, so let's see you again after the hour..."
As I said that, I shook my head. As soon as I was about to lie down, Mao Xiaodao's voice suddenly came out again.
"Brother Chen! Brother Chen!"
Hearing Mao Xiaodao's voice, I stood up suddenly, rushed out with a quick glance, and immediately shouted: "I said, "Young Brother, the dead person is not me, why do you want to see me like a soul?"
"Brother Chen, look at the corpse quickly. This corpse is... very strange!"
Mao Xiaodao had no intention of joking and said to me seriously.
I looked up and saw Gou Sheng and the two guards, who were already squatting on the hillside from a distance, looking at us and the bodies lying on the ground with a timid look on their faces.
"Well, I'll take a look...huh?"
I bent over and looked at the corpse, and was stunned. This corpse... is indeed strange. First of all, I want to talk about the appearance of this person. He is about twenty-five or six years old, with beautiful eyebrows and handsome appearance. He is indeed a little white-faced. It is precisely because of this that it is strange. Because this corpse is not surrounded by death, ordinary corpses should have anger dissipated, and the qi of death condenses but does not dissipate. On the contrary, this person's corpse not only has no death energy, but its face has not changed. It is still rosy and colored, more like... it looks like sleeping.
After thinking about it, I immediately picked up the man's wrist and took a pulse. Soon, I nodded and said, "This man's qi has stopped, the three souls have left the body, and the seven souls have dissipated. He is indeed dead, but why hasn't his body changed at all?"
"Brother Chen Dao, has this person refined any folk remedies to keep his eyes open before his lifetime? That's why his appearance remained unchanged after death, and gave us an illusion!"
Mao Xiaodao asked in confusion.
"Well, no matter what folk remedy he has made, he will never escape death. It would be strange if he does so many evil things and damages other people's families. It's not too early, let them bury the body."
I nodded, got up and greeted Gou Sheng. Gou Sheng and the two guards hurried over.
"Mr. Chen, what are you asking us?"
Dog Zuo squeezed out a smile with difficulty.
"As your master told me, I'll find a place to bury this body."
I said lightly.
"Mr. Chen, but we are afraid..."
Gou Sheng pointed at the corpse in an instant and said tremblingly, while the other two guards also shrank back.
"What are you afraid of?"
