Those years when I was a corpse guard in Yizhuang

Chapter 7 Ergou's Last Wish

fell?

Are you fucking blind?Can't you see that this is a human handprint?

The corner of Li Yu's mouth twitched, but he didn't ask much.

He knew the guy just didn't want to talk.

Guo Shouxin took another look at Li Yu.

As for Li Yu, he has seen it before. In the past, Li Yu was timid, timid, afraid to look at others, and stumbled when speaking.

Now Li Yu looks calm and natural, speaks clearly, and there is a calmness far beyond his age in the brows, it seems like a different person.

But Guo Shouxin didn't take it too seriously.

A mere corpse keeper, just an inconspicuous little person, doesn't deserve much attention.

The body was placed on the mortuary bed, and Ergou's parents finally left reluctantly after crying for a while.Others followed suit.

Seeing everyone going away, Li Yu looked at the pale Ergou, shook his head and sighed in pity.

At such a young age, he passed away early before seeing all the wonderful things in the world. This little guy is also pitiful.

Next, it is natural to start the mortuary and arrange the remains of Ergou's corpse.

Li Yu took out the ever-burning lamp and lit it.

Then he took off the clothes on Ergou's body, washed them, dried them, boiled hot water, took a towel and began to wipe the skin on Ergou's body, after wiping them clean, he combed his hair with a comb.

Wait for the clothes to dry before dressing them.

Finally, the corpse was placed neatly, with a calm face and two arms placed on both sides of the body.

In this way, the mortuary can be regarded as the end.

When his eyes touched the black handprints on Ergou's ankles, Li Yu showed a pensive look.

Based on what Guo Shouxin said just now, the two dogs should have drowned in the pond.

Thinking about the pale figure suspected of being a female ghost that he met when he came back from the town a few days ago and passed by the pond, Li Yu felt that the death of the two dogs was most likely related to the pale figure.

Just as Li Yu was meditating, the yin and yang roulette passed by in a daze, and the reward arrived as promised:

"Corpse reward: an old rattle."

【Old rattle】

Quality: No stream.

Introduction: This is Ergou's favorite toy, which has been with him for several years. Although it is damaged and cannot make a crisp sound, it is of great significance to him.

Li Yu looked at the tattered rattle in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and put it aside.

After all, he was an inexperienced child, and he didn't expect anything good from the other party.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a light spot flew from Ergou's body and penetrated into Li Yu's eyebrows.

Then, a picture unfolded in front of his eyes:

In the evening, the sun set and cast a large orange glow.

A thick layer of ice had formed on the pond, and several children were squatting on the ice to catch fish, and one of them was Ergou.

The faces of the children were red and dark from the cold, trembling, but their faces were full of excitement.

This pond is connected to the Qingshui River, and there are quite a few fish in the water.

One of them showed off with a small fish in his hand: "Haha, there is a fish, I caught it!"

The other children were envious and smashed the ice with stones one after another. After a while, the children gained more or less something, and all of them were smiling.

"Ergou, Fathu, my mother told me to go home early, so I will go back first."

A child carried two palm-sized fish, waved his hand excitedly, and left quickly.

Not long after, the other child also left one after another, leaving Ergou still unwillingly smashing the ice and catching fish.

The sky was getting darker, and under the ice surface, a white shadow was looming, eerie and terrifying.

It's just that Ergou didn't notice it.

He got up, and was about to change places to continue smashing, when suddenly, the ice under his feet shattered, causing his whole body to fall into the water.

"Ah—help!—help—cough—"

Ergou panicked and wanted to climb out while calling for help, but the ice surface was slippery and cold. Not only did he fail to climb up, he drank a few mouthfuls of cold water instead.

At this moment, a black and blue hand protruded from the water, with sharp nails, grabbed Ergou's ankle and pulled him into the water.

At the beginning, Ergou thumped vigorously a few times, but as time passed, a large amount of ice water was poured into his mouth and nose, and he gradually lost consciousness, sank to the bottom of the water, and lost his life.

When Li Yu came back to his senses, a strange message appeared in his mind:
【The Last Wish of Two Dogs】

Explanation: In the year of catastrophe, the harvest is not good.In order to survive this winter, Ergou's family can only save food and expenses, and it is common to only eat one meal a day.Having been woken up from sleep many times by starvation, Ergou, who couldn't bear the hunger, simply thought of catching fish to fill his stomach.Although the elders in the village never let the children get close to this pond.

Ergou died because of catching fish, so he was obsessed with it, hoping to get a fish, and it had to be the fish in the pond where he drowned.

Reward: Two Dog's Secret.

Li Yu blinked, a little surprised that Ergou was still obsessed with it, and was still thinking about the fish in the pond.

But thinking about it, it seemed normal. After all, he died because of catching fish, and he was still hungry before he died. It's not surprising that he has this obsession.

Thinking of the female ghost in white in the water, Li Yu only felt a little headache:
"It's fine if it's just catching fish, but the key is that there are really ghosts in the pond, and I'm not a Taoist monk who subdues demons and slays demons. If I really fell into it because of a fish, it would be called injustice."

"However. It seems that there is no way at all!"

Recalling the scene just now, Li Yu's eyes flickered, and he noticed something keenly:
"The other children who caught fish with Ergou were all safe and sound. On the contrary, Ergou had an accident after dark because it was too late, and the last time I saw the female ghost was also at night, which means that the female ghost was in the middle of the night. During the day, especially when the sun is blazing, it should not be able to appear."

"Besides, I'm only catching fish, not ghosts. In this way, the difficulty is much less."

"Since this is the case, this matter is not impossible."

"However, since the elders in the village are unwilling to let the children approach this pond, there is obviously a reason. Well, let's find out the details of the female ghost first."

Li Yu pondered for a while, then thought about it, and came up with some ideas.

"Master, I'm here to see you again today."

The next day, Li Yu carried a bag of jujube flower cakes and didn't see him at all. While yelling, he pushed the door open and entered Yang An's yard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit wrong.

With a glance, he saw a young girl standing in the yard besides Yang Feng, Yang An's grandfather and grandson, and an old yellow dog.

This girl has a slender figure, but she has already seen her scale for the first time, her skin is fair and her appearance is quite pretty.

Seeing someone coming, the young girl panicked immediately, a blush quickly appeared on her face, she took a small bottle from Yang An's hand, and hurriedly said: "Brother An, my mother got a little hot last night, I'll bring you this badger seed oil in a few days."

"It's...it's okay, Chunxing, I have plenty of these things at home, you can take them, it's okay to use them up, if...if it's not enough, I'll go to the mountains to hunt badgers."

Yang An stammered.

Looking at the handsome face in front of him, he felt that his heart was about to melt, he was nervous and flustered, and mixed with a trace of indescribable sweetness.

The girl shyly pursed her lips and smiled, without responding, she greeted Old Man Yang again: "Grandpa Yang, I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and left in a hurry as if fleeing.
