Chapter 767: Dead or Alive
It seems that the idea of not welcoming outsiders has been ingrained in the city, otherwise a child would not have been so repulsive from their arrival. Feng Changqi looked at the stubborn child quietly, with mixed feelings for a while, while Anan half-squatted down and said softly in a soothing tone: "I'll just take them over to have a look, and I'll leave soon." ”
The child was obviously willing to believe Anan, and after hearing this, although he was still a little resistant to the visitors, he did not show it again.
He clutched the door frame tightly and asked fearfully, "What do you want to see?" ”
"Where's your daddy?"
The little boy looked up unnaturally at Feng Changqi and Yu Hopeless, and finally decided to take them over, he turned around and walked towards the back room: "You guys come with me." ”
The layout of the room in this family is very different from the layout of the Xingxing family, the whole room here is dim, there are only two or three lights lit in the house, and then the dim light, Feng Changqi saw the black coffin parked in the middle of the house, which was painted with red paint with a special pattern, which looked very weird.
Feng Changqi felt frightened for no reason, but fortunately, with Yu Hopeless by her side, she quickly regained her former composure.
"Open the coffin."
When the kid heard this, he was not calm! These people inexplicably wanted to come to his house to see his father, and he thought they were here to incense his father, but it turned out that they were so good that they wanted to pry open the coffin! Although he is only a child, he still understands the truth that dead people's objects cannot be touched!
He stood in front of the coffin with tears in his eyes: "I don't allow you to mess around!" ”
Anan raised his eyelids and didn't say a word, he wanted to see what the two men who insisted on inspecting the victim's body had in mind.
What he never expected was that Feng Changqi could remain calm in the face of the child's disgust: "We just want to see your father for the last time...... Okay boy, can you get out of the way first? ”
"Why? My father he has ...... It's already ......," said the child, and the child began to choke.
Xu is movement here was too big to disturb the others, and a sound of footsteps hurried in the direction of the mourning hall.
The person who came was none other than the child's mother and the mistress of this house, and when someone blocked the door of the star-picking house to make trouble before, Yu Wuwang saw her face.
How can outsiders appear in their own homes!
The woman was taken aback, and the instinct of motherhood made her pull the child back to her, and then looked at the strangers who appeared in her home with vigilant eyes, and secretly, the child's father had passed away, and she should bear the burden! She asked vigilantly, "Why did you come to my house?" ”
It's better to explain this kind of thing by yourself, and Anan took the initiative to stand up and explain everything that happened here to the woman.
She was shocked to hear Feng Changqi offer to see the body, but she quickly adjusted her emotions. The woman hugged her child tightly and looked at the coffin with tears in her eyes: "He was an extremely open-minded person when he was alive, and he must not mind the trivial matter of rudeness, if you want to see it, then look at it." ”
People won't jump out of the coffin anyway, so why not let them take a look.
The woman's permission made Feng Changqi and the others breathe a sigh of relief, they slowly pried open the coffin, lifted the lid little by little, and saw the faces of the people in the coffin clearly through the light.
Feng Changqi was stunned in place, only to see that the face of the deceased was reflected in her pupils, the other party's face was ruddy, and her expression was stable, at first glance, she looked like a person who was asleep, and it was not like other deceased people There was a special death between her eyebrows!
Yu Wuwang was also taken aback, who would have thought that the body would look like this?
He subconsciously stretched out his hand and probed under the other party's nose, and found that the other party was indeed not breathing.
The deceased was as ruddy as a living person, it was really unheard of in the world, and if he was nameless here, he would be willing to find out what had happened to this corpse!
Feng Changqi took his gaze away from the coffin: "Are all the people on your side ........?"
Before he could finish asking, Anan had already shook his head: "Not everyone will die like this, this situation only happens at the hands of those who died in the attack of the mountain ghost. Those who are poisoned by the mountain charm will gradually stop breathing, and the person will die as if he was asleep. ”
"This is really a different way to die....... "Feng Changqi felt more and more strange, is there really such a poison in the world?
They looked at the deceased back and forth several times, and after learning that the deceased was injured and poisoned to protect his wife and children, they were inevitably a little moved, and respectfully put a stick of incense on each other.
Estimating that Nameless should have finished dealing with the poison on Starpicker's body at this time, everyone decided to return to Starpicker's home.
On the way back, Anan kept a gloomy face.
In their small city, all the poison of Zhongshan Charm is equivalent to being targeted by the soul envoy, and there has never been a case of poisoning and curing here for many years. If Picking Stars really can't wake up, what can Xiaocheng and Moon Dance do.........
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Anan's heart, giving him a headache.
Feng Changqi and Yu Wuwang followed him from a distance, discussing the strange death of the victim: "Master, do you think that this kind of death does not look like death at all, but like the technique of fake death that is often mentioned in the book. ”
Yu Wuwang nodded: "It's a bit like it, but it's impossible." Didn't Brother Anan say that anyone who is poisoned by the charm of Zhongshan will fall asleep and die? If it is a fake death, how can so many people die, and the person we went to see just now, he clearly has a family and a happy life, let me ask such a person, why did he fake his death? ”
"Master's words are very reasonable," Feng Changqi raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you still have to wait for five seniors to explain all this to us." ”
As he spoke, his footsteps had already reached the door of the star-picking house.
Anand paused, and for a moment he began to be timid, fearing that when he walked through the door, he would get the terrible news that he had died.
Yu Wuwang could understand his mood at this moment, patted him on the shoulder, and then stepped through the door.
As the room of the stars got closer, a familiar laugh became clearer.
"If it weren't for my predecessors to save me this time, I'm afraid my little life would really not be saved, thank you seniors for saving my life today, and I will definitely repay you in the future!" This is the business of picking stars, Anan quickened his pace, and the wind rushed into the room: "Pick stars!" ”
The person who was talking raised his face and raised it slightly: "I'm here." ”
The boulder that had been hanging in his heart finally fell, and Anan often breathed a sigh of relief; "It's good that you're fine, you were poisoned by the mountain charm, I thought you were ........"
Even Picking the Star himself was surprised, the first thought in his mind before he fell unconscious was that he would die, he really didn't expect that he would be able to open his eyes again one day: "All this is thanks to the rescue of my predecessors, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to you." ”
As he spoke, he lowered his face: "It's really good, the predecessors can get rid of the poison of the mountain charm, and we won't have to die anymore in the future......"
Anan nodded again and again, and he was equally happy: "Yes, there is no need to be afraid in the future." ”
Xingxing sighed and said, "It's just a pity that the person who died because of this before ........."
Nameless suddenly spoke: "It's a pity. ”
Nameless was the most senior person in this room, and his words could naturally attract the attention of everyone present, including Anan, who was also attracted by his words: "Senior, what do you mean by this?" ”
Nameless seemed to regret, and said with emotion: "The poisoned person actually didn't die at all." ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder on a sunny day, and Picking Star and Anan were stunned, how could they dare to believe such words? If, as Nameless said, the poisoned people did not die at all, but just fell asleep, then wouldn't the people who had been buried by them as dead people all these years be wronged? In the past few decades, have they buried dozens of people alive?
They held their breath and stared at Nameless without blinking.
The latter was very calm, and turned his head to ask Feng Changqi and Yu Wuwang, who had just entered the door: "You went to the victim's house just now, you should have seen his body, did you see any difference?" ”
Yu Wuwang nodded, recalling the words he said to Feng Changqi on the road, he faintly had the feeling that this small city had been shrouded in an invisible net for decades, and he truthfully told him and Feng Changqi what they had seen in the deceased's house one by one, Yuan Zhen and the others were all surprised to hear this strange death, but Nameless was not surprised, as if he had expected this kind of thing for a long time.
"This is an extremely peculiar poison, I heard people talk about it in Nanzhao in the early years, but I have never seen it with my own eyes, and this is the first time I am here today." The nameless general said the symptoms of the poisoned person one by one, and sure enough, all the symptoms of the deceased were consistent, especially the loss of body temperature without breathing, which was the most important thing.
It is difficult for Picking Stars to accept the fact that "how can there be such a strange poison in the world......."
When Li Xinghe heard this, he subconsciously touched the scar left by his injury due to blood extraction: "Star Picking Patriarch, you have seen too few things, too few." The world is so big that as long as it is useful, any poison of any effect can be developed, and this fake death poison is no exception. ”
Anan also agreed, but he still couldn't accept it in his heart: "If the poisoned person is really alive, then the people who have been poisoned and 'died' in the past ten years are not all wronged?" ”
It's a pity to be buried alive and die.
Nameless said thoughtfully, "This kind of thing cannot be presumptuous unless you can see the corpses in the grave with your own eyes." ”
Anan stood up and proposed without hesitation, "If necessary, I can take my seniors to the cemetery now!" ”
