I was startled by this old face. I moved my body back unconsciously and asked in shock:
"You...who are you?"
"Me? Haha... I am alone. You can call me... Lao Yutou."
The old man said with a playful smile, his voice was very high-pitched, but with his smile, there were even more wrinkles on his face.
I looked at the pitch-black night around me, and it could be said that I couldn't see my fingers. But it was a bit strange that this old man, Yutou, who was so old, appeared alone in the wilderness with a paper lantern...
I couldn't help but become alert, smelled it with my nose, and sensed it again. Although he had a strange smell on his body, I was sure it was not ghost air or corpse air. As long as it was not these two, I would feel more at ease.
"Young man, what are you doing by the lake in the middle of the night?" Seeing that I remained silent, Old Yu asked.
"I…"
I was hesitating whether to tell the truth or not, when I suddenly noticed that Old Yutou's eyes were glancing at the woven bag in my hand from time to time. I put the woven bag behind me and said:
"I'm looking for someone."
Lao Yutou narrowed his eyes, suddenly moved his head in front of me, and squeezed out a sentence from his throat,
"Looking for someone? Haha... Is it a living person or a dead person?"
I was stunned, looked at him again, seemed to realize something, and then lowered my voice and asked:
"Is there any difference between the living and the dead?"
"The living can go home by themselves without looking for them. The dead can't go home, but... can you find them?"
"I can't find it, can you help me?" I looked at him steadily.
Lao Yu grinned, stretched out a wrinkled hand in front of me,
"I can help, but how are you going to thank me?"
After saying that, his eyes looked at the woven bag behind me again.
Naturally, I understood what he was thinking, so I asked him to wait for a moment. Then I walked to the edge and carefully opened the woven bag. When I looked inside with my mobile phone, I was stunned and immediately felt the urge to vomit!
This woven bag was actually filled with densely packed red bugs, and they were all still squirming, looking layer upon layer of indescribably disgusting!
I have been afraid of bugs since I was a child, so when I saw this nerve-wracking scene, my hands trembled and I accidentally dropped the woven bag on the ground, and many bugs crawled out...
This time, Lao Yu was very anxious.
"Ouch! My dear, this is such a waste of natural resources!"
As he spoke, he bent down and picked up all the squirming bugs. Then he put the live bugs directly into his mouth, and then chewed them in big mouthfuls!
This time, I was really dumbfounded. I couldn't help but hide aside and retched. It took me a long time to feel better...
At this time, Lao Yutou had already put away the woven bag and said to me with a smile:
"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect you to know the rules at such a young age. Tell me, what kind of dead person are you looking for?"
I took a few more deep breaths, and then said seriously:
"The woman in the white skirt, without legs, died for almost three or four days..."
Lao Yu rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then pulled a rope from his waist and handed it to me.
"Hold this rope and wait for my signal!"
"What's the meaning?"
As soon as I said this, Lao Yutou walked directly to the lake and jumped into the dark water with a paper lantern! Then he disappeared without a trace.
I was completely stunned, thinking that this old man Yu didn't want to just make money, right?
No matter how good the water quality is, it would be impossible for him to find such a big lake, not to mention it is night time and the visibility is so poor...
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, so I hurriedly took out the flashlight I had prepared and shined it on the lake. I saw nothing except the dark lake water. Didn’t he need to ventilate?
I waited anxiously on the shore for more than half an hour, but Lao Yutou never appeared again. My heart was completely cold, thinking that Zhou Yun's body was not recovered, and another one died.
Thinking of this, I took out my mobile phone and prepared to call the police!
At this moment, the rope in my hand suddenly tightened, and then it twitched several times regularly. I was stunned for a moment. Could this be a signal?
I subconsciously grabbed the rope, and then pulled it up! It felt like the other end of the rope was dragging a huge boulder, which was very heavy. I used all my strength to pull the rope up completely.
I didn't bother to rest and ran over in a hurry. I saw something white and colorful tied to the other end of the rope. When I looked carefully, it turned out to be a female corpse wearing a white skirt and without legs!
Just because it had been soaked in water for too long, the skin had swollen and was basically unrecognizable, but I knew this must be Zhou Yun's body!
There was a sound of "wow", and I turned around and saw a figure slowly walking up from the water. I looked closely and saw that it was Lao Yutou, and the strange thing was...the paper lantern in his hand was still there.
On!
"you…"
I looked at him blankly, not knowing what to say.
"No need to ask any more questions. Okay, the body has been fished out for you. You can handle the rest by yourself..."
Lao Yutou wiped the water from his face, then put away the rope and left.
But just as he was about to turn around and leave, his eyes seemed to see something. He suddenly walked up to me, pulled his withered hand from my neck, took the Lin-character pendant I was wearing, and said in a trembling voice:
"This...who gave you this pendant?!"
"Yes... one of my elders..."
I don't understand why he is so excited.
Lao Yu raised his head and stared at my face for a long time, and suddenly became excited.
"Haha...it's been twenty years! You've made me wait, so...ok! You go back and tell Huo Qian that I will go find him!"
After saying that, Lao Yu laughed a few times like crazy, then turned around and left with a lantern.
Looking at his back as he disappeared into the night, I was extremely curious. Who is this old Yutou? Not only is he capable of collecting corpses, but he actually knows my master? And judging from his appearance, he is definitely not a corpse collector!
It's just that I don't have time to think so much right now. I have to find a way to dispose of Zhou Yun's body first. This is a big deal.
I carried Zhou Yun's body to a forest by the lake, looked around with a flashlight, and found that there were mountains on the side of the forest, water in front of the mountains, and forests by the water. Although it was not very neat, it was still beautiful.
It is close to mountains and rivers, and the feng shui is good.
"Okay, let's bury you here..."
I slowly placed the body on the ground, then took out the shovel I prepared in advance and started digging on the ground. I stopped after digging for a few times because I suddenly felt like something was watching behind me.
