Chapter 605 Thunder Mark (8)

Shang Yuan murmured in his heart: It really is a barbaric land, the people here are so disrespectful of etiquette, they even let a woman out to open the door in the middle of the night to entertain guests.While muttering, he shook his head.

Putting it in modern times, this idea is definitely out of style. You stay at someone's house in the middle of the night, and it would be good if they kindly take you in. You actually wait for someone else's family to come out to greet you, and you have to cook sweet potatoes for you?Are you being too thick-skinned?
According to the modern situation, Shang Yuan's murmurs in his heart were definitely out of character, but in the environment that focused on etiquette at that time, his murmurs were very normal.

It is not unreasonable to have friends come from afar. Chinese people who are deeply influenced by Confucianism, even in the barbaric lands of the Northwest, pay attention to etiquette, no matter how poor the basic etiquette is.

So this kind of situation where visitors from afar arrive at home but no one comes out to greet them is quite abnormal.

Shang Yuan was tired and hungry, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, his stomach was rumbling, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.Just when he was so hungry that he couldn't sleep at all, and was about to get up and find some water to fill himself up, the dark and thin woman came in with a dusty hot thing and said something, The general idea is that tonight is a special situation, it is inconvenient to bring guests, please forgive me for being rude, please have a bowl of food to fill your stomach first, and make an apology tomorrow.

There is a saying that courtesy is reciprocal. Etiquette is not one-sided, but two-way.

After the black and thin woman made an apology, Shang Yuan immediately returned the courtesy, saying that he was bothering her, and what to do with the black and thin woman’s family, don’t worry about herself, and after thanking her for eating, she immediately started eating with a bowl of hula la .

He didn't know what he was eating. Anyway, he was hungry at the time, and the food was delicious. After a bowl of hot food, Shang Yuan didn't rush to sleep, but planned to take a stroll before resting.A cultivator pays attention to health preservation, and he would not do such a thing as sleeping when he is full, so he walked lightly to the balcony of the house.

The building is similar to the current balcony. In the past, it was mainly used to dry some peppers, melon seeds, and dried vegetables.

Standing on the terrace, the cold wind in early autumn made people unable to open their eyes. Shang Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the village in the darkness.

If there were no scattered lanterns, the village would be pitch black at this moment, and nothing could be seen, but because of those lanterns, Shang Yuan could vaguely see the situation in the village.

Although he felt that this place was a bit strange at the time, China is vast and abundant, and the customs and customs are very different. The slight strangeness is not worth studying. Therefore, Shang Yuan, who was full of food and drink at the time, was blowing the wind on the balcony, squinting his eyes to digest .

Physical exhaustion made him want to lie down on the bed immediately. In Shang Yuan's words now, although he was standing on the balcony at that time, he was already drowsy. Facing the surrounding environment, Sensitivity is very low.

That is to say, under such circumstances, he stood for about 10, [-], [-] minutes. Just when he felt that he was about to go back to sleep, he felt that there seemed to be a group of figures under the lantern not far away, as if they were walking slowly. Like a dead zombie, it swayed slowly in the dim light.

Shang Yuan thought that his eyes were dazzled, so he squinted his eyes to look carefully at the lantern not far away. The light of the lantern was very dim and obscure. pass under the light.

This time, I saw it clearly. The figure moved slowly and stiffly. Due to the distance and the dim light, I couldn't see the clothes clearly, but the stiff and slow pace gave people a feeling that it was not like a living person a feeling of.

Shang Yuan was shocked, and a word flashed in his mind: drive away the corpse.

There have always been folk legends about exorcising corpses in Xiangxi. It is said that exorcisers used secret methods to manipulate the dead to walk. Using this method, the corpses of people who died in foreign lands were transported back to their hometowns and the fallen leaves returned to their roots. The exorcist charged corpse fees earn a living.

For most of us, expelling corpses is a plot that only exists in novels or movies, but for Shang Yuan, exorcising corpses is not such a mysterious thing. Although he is not a corpse exorcist, he I know the mortician, and I have also seen the scene when the cadaver artist drives the corpse.

But this is already an extreme place, and the lineage of exorcising corpses is mainly active in the west of Hunan. When did exorcising corpses come here?
While thinking about it, another invisible figure walked slowly under the obscure light. Shang Yuan was startled, he didn't know who was driving the corpse here, and under curiosity, he wanted to get acquainted, so he moved lightly and planned to Go out and have a look.

In order to prevent disturbing the master's house in the middle of the night, Shang Yuan moved very carefully. He touched all the way to the first floor. Just as he was about to open the door to go out, in the darkness, he suddenly heard a 'guji' sound.

The sound didn't come from outside the door, but from the place near the kitchen on the first floor.

Shang Yuan subconsciously turned his head to look, and found the location of the kitchen behind, revealing a dim light.

Is there anyone else in there?
The sound of gurgling and gurgling continued, and the erratic lights in the kitchen attracted Shang Yuan's attention, so he didn't rush out, but went to the place where the sound came from, wanting to see what was going on.

In the middle of the night, the lamp is still on in the kitchen, what are you doing?
The local kitchens are different from those in the Central Plains, they are very simple and open, so as soon as Shang Yuan went around, he saw a person squatting on the ground.

The moment Shang Yuan saw that person, Shang Yuan turned pale with fright. There was no other reason, but because the person was not wearing any clothes and was almost naked, but the hair on his body was much longer than normal people, which made him look extremely horrifying. People are just like the legendary hairy zombies.

But at this moment, that 'man' was squatting on the ground, holding something in his hands, with his back to Shang Yuan, making a gurgling sound, as if he was sucking something.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Shang Yuan's nose moved, his eyes narrowed sharply, and he stared at the 'man' squatting in front of him. He has been walking around all this time, wearing a self-defense sword, but now it's too late, he I didn't expect an accident, so I didn't bring my sword with me, and I didn't have a weapon on hand.

The squatting person didn't seem to notice him, he didn't know what he was inhaling, and he was inhaling the fragrance.

After several thoughts turned in Shang Yuan's mind, he immediately dodged and hid behind the nearby pillar, intending to check the situation first and figure out what this hairy man was.

And when he was observing the hairy man, he saw a birthmark-like pattern on the hairy man's back that was exactly the same as in my photo.
