Those years when I was a corpse guard in Yizhuang

Chapter 3 The Last Wish of the Dead
At the same time, a recipe on how to prepare medicinal wine appeared in Li Yu's mind.

There are no special requirements for the wine used in this recipe, but it must be made from sorghum. As for the medicinal materials, there are only a few flavors, which are not particularly precious. In addition to these medicinal materials, you also need a kind of fruit called "Black Pearl Fruit" in the mountains. nuclear.

The recipe records in detail how to select materials, how to brew, and the proportion of ingredients, which can be described as full of details.

"Good stuff!"

Li Yu's eyes brightened slightly.

In fact, it doesn’t matter what it is to strengthen the waist and nourish the kidneys. The main thing is to strengthen the bones and strengthen the body. This is the most important thing.

After all, what man doesn't want to have a good waist and a good body?
Just when Li Yu was overjoyed, the light in front of his eyes dimmed, and he seemed to see a light spot flying from inside Chen Zhuo's body, directly blending into the center of his eyebrows.

Then, a picture unfolded in front of his eyes:

The night is dark and windy, and the moon hangs high.

On a street, a figure was walking staggeringly, and the figure that could be seen by the moonlight was Chen Zhuo just now.

Chen Zhuo's face was flushed, his eyes were blurred, and he was holding a wine bag in his hand, and he seemed to be muttering something.

After walking a certain distance, a figure followed quietly, stuck behind him and pushed him.

Chen Zhuo couldn't stand still, and fell into the ditch next to him.

There was water in the ditch, although it was not deep, but a thick layer of ice formed. Chen Zhuo smashed the ice and plunged into the water. He was jolted suddenly, and most of the frozen wine woke up.

He struggled to get up, but the ice surface was slippery and cold, his body was soaked, his whole body was cold, and he drank a few sips of ice water, but he couldn't get up.

After tossing for a while, seeing that he was about to crawl out of the ditch, at this moment, a hand suddenly pressed on his head, pushing him into the water again.

After struggling for a moment, Chen Zhuo gradually lost consciousness.

Not long after, Chen Zhuo lay face down on the water surface motionless, his body gradually became cold and stiff.

The picture gradually dissipated, and Li Yu came back to his senses, with a bit of astonishment on his face and a chill in his heart.

Chen Zhuo in this coffin did not die accidentally, but was killed by someone!
Moreover, Li Yu had already seen the face of the person who killed Chen Zhuo, and he happened to know him.

The predecessor used to occasionally go to the old tavern in the town to buy wine for the old cripple. Coincidentally, the murderer happened to be from the old tavern.

His name is Chen Qie, he is Chen Zhuo's cousin and nephew of the old shopkeeper, and he often works as a helper in the tavern.

This guy lost his father and mother when he was young, and was brought up by the old shopkeeper. He didn't know why he would do anything to his cousin.

But in the bottom of Li Yu's heart, there was a strange message:
【Chen Zhuo's last wish】

Explanation: As you can see, Chen Zhuo's death was not an accident, but a homicide.This incident became Chen Zhuo's biggest obsession before he died. Before he died, he was full of resentment and resentment.Therefore, if someone can help him expose this matter so that he will not die unjustly, he will get a certain reward.

Reward: A jar of bone-strengthening medicinal wine.

"By fulfilling the deceased's last wishes or obsessions, can you also get paid? Is there such an operation?"

Li Yu felt a little uneasy: "It seems that there are many secrets in this yin-yang roulette."

Li Yu closed the coffin lid and fell into deep thought.

Of course, this can be done, but it needs to be considered in the long run.

After all, he is still just an ordinary corpse guard, any accident may bring him big trouble.

It is best not to be exposed.

It was afternoon, it was freezing outside, and there were still two corpses lying in the room, but Li Yu felt much more relieved now, and lay down on the bed with his eyes closed and rested, conserving his energy after doing nothing.

By the way, I started to think about some future plans.

Before him, there are three things.

[-]. Investigate and take precautions against the masked man who killed his predecessor, so as to avoid exposing himself "resurrected from the dead".

Second, prepare enough food and firewood for the winter.

[-]. Help Chen Zhuo fulfill his last wish.

The first thing is very troublesome. The masked black shadow is tied into a knife, and he can split the flesh with one palm. It is easy to dig out the heart and kidney, which shows that the other party is not an ordinary person, but it is useless for him to be anxious, so he can only try to prepare as much as possible. , and secretly tried to investigate.

The second thing is imminent.

If you are not in charge of your family, you don't know how expensive firewood is.

Although this is a world with extraordinary power, he is just an ordinary person after all, and his body is weak. The things under the bed and the cornmeal sent by Yang An can last him for more than ten days at most.

Without food, he would simply starve to death.

And now that it's winter, firewood is also a problem.

As for the third thing, he should indeed do it. After all, a pot of medicinal wine that can nourish the body and strengthen the body is also of great use to him.

The next day, the weather turned better, the sun rose, the temperature began to rise, and even the ice in the water tank melted.

Li Yu took advantage of his reflection in the water to see what he looked like.

In the water, he was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and wore a ragged cotton cap. His face was thin, his skin was dry and red, his lips were dry and cracked, and he had two frozen black and cracked ears. He looked really ugly. Tight, like a skinny little old man, not a 17-year-old boy.

After simply stuffing his stomach, Li Yu took out a rusty hatchet from the corner and put it in his arms, and then took two baked sweet potatoes and an old water bag, and he walked along the mountain road Next, go directly to Qingshui Town.

Yizhuang is more than ten miles away from Qingshui Town. Li Yu walked and rested for a while, and arrived at Qingshui Town near noon.

Qingshui Town is the core of more than a dozen surrounding villages. On both sides of the street, there are cloth shops, rice shops, inns, taverns, blacksmith shops, and medical centers.

Some nearby villagers often come here to buy something if they need something.

The street is not considered lively, but there are occasional pedestrians. Li Yu folded his hands and lowered his head, pretending to pass by the door of the old tavern casually. With a glance, he saw the old shopkeeper wearing a felt hat at the counter He was doing calculations on the Internet, looking in a trance.

Although the original old shopkeeper was old, his face was full of red all day long, his cheeks were fleshy, and his white hair was covered with black hair. In a trance, obviously because the white-haired person sent the black-haired person.

In addition to the old shopkeeper, Li Yu also saw Chen Qi, who was holding a cup of tea and greeting the old shopkeeper with a distressed expression.

Those who didn't know the truth thought that he was the real son of the old shopkeeper!

"I never forget to perform, this guy has a lot of plays." Li Yu was amazed.

Li Yu didn't look much, pretended to pass by casually, and then found a secluded place to hide.

Until the evening, Li Yu ate the sweet potatoes in his arms and drank some water to fill his stomach. He guessed that the tavern was closing now, so he walked out and came to the vicinity of the tavern.

Sure enough, the tavern was closing now, and Chen Qie was busy locking the door.
