Merchant of the Underworld

Chapter 144: Broomstick

Li Mazi and I stood awkwardly, wondering if we should persuade each other?

I asked cautiously: "Hello, do you know Liu Fuguo?"

When I asked, the boy immediately stopped crying and looked up at us inexplicably: "Who are you two? What do you want from my father?"

He turned out to be Liu Fuguo's son.

I quickly said: "I have something I want to discuss with you. Can we discuss it in detail in the room?"

If you stand here and talk, you will inevitably be overheard.

The young man shook his head: "It's inconvenient, I will hurt you. If you have anything to say, please tell me immediately and leave immediately."

"We are here to help you." I said, "Have you encountered anything weird recently?"

The boy immediately became nervous: "Are you the police?"

I smiled and shook my head: "No."

"Are you really here to help me? Who sent you to help me?"

"Don't worry about this." Li Mazi threw him five hundred yuan casually: "It's for you."

Seeing five hundred-dollar bills, the young man touched them excitedly for a long time, then carefully put them into his pocket, and said excitedly: "Brothers, please wait for me for a while, I will bury my father, and then I will tell you more details. "

After saying that, the young man picked up the body and walked towards the mountain.

But my heart was filled with confusion.

Didn’t this old man named Liu Fuguo come back from the dead? Why is it still a corpse?

Why did his body appear in front of his house, attracting villagers to watch?

Could this corpse run away on its own?

I immediately remembered what happened last night when I was followed, and my back felt chilly.

Seeing the young man carrying the body up the mountain with difficulty, I knew there must be something fishy in it, so I proposed to go up the mountain with him to have a look.

The young man gave us a cold look, and then said: "If you are not afraid of getting into trouble, just come along!"

Having said that, he ignored us and just walked straight up the mountain.

Damn, what do you mean? Got some bad luck? Where did the bad luck come from?

This matter was related to the safety of Chu Chu and the old witch doctor, so I followed the boy up the mountain regardless of whether it was bad luck or not.

I saw that the young man was having a hard time carrying it, and he almost couldn't hold it up several times, so I wanted to carry it for him for a while. Although carrying a body was not a good thing, I felt sorry for him.

But the young man was very jealous of us and scolded us repeatedly, telling us not to touch the corpses.

I had no choice but to give up.

The young man took us up the mountain and stopped at a stone tomb.

What we didn't expect was that this stone tomb was more complicated than any tomb we had seen before, with several large stones sealing it inside and out. But all those big rocks were pushed away, and even an iron chain as thick as a wrist at the entrance of the cave was broken...

These stones must be very strong, right? I don't think it will be opened unless it is blown up with explosives.

Who is it that destroyed a good tomb like this?

The young man knelt in front of the grave and began to cry loudly. His voice was so sad and tragic that I couldn't help but feel heartbroken when I heard it.

After crying enough, the young man moved the broken stones away bit by bit, and then dragged the coffin out of the cave.

The lid of the coffin was actually open, and there were obvious scratch marks on the coffin with fingernails, which made me feel as if... the corpse crawled out of the coffin.

Although I had guessed this situation before, when I actually faced it, I was still a little scared.

I took a deep breath, looked at the coffin and the stiff corpse lying on the ground with trepidation, and asked, "Little brother, is it convenient for you to tell us the story?"

The young man looked up at the sky and wiped his tears: "Wait a minute, if we don't seal my father in, something big will happen."

With that said, the young man put the body back into the coffin, closed the lid of the coffin, pushed it in again, and sealed the hole with stones.

After doing this, he stretched himself, glanced at us, and said apologetically: "Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

But I was so frightened that all the hairs on my body stood up!

When the young man did these things just now, everything was at his fingertips, as if he had already become familiar with it. This made me realize with horror that this was probably not the first time he had done something like this, and it was not the first time a body had 'escaped' out.

Could it be that the 'resurrection from the dead' that the Sichuan boss said was this kind of resurrection from the dead?

You can't rest in peace even after you die. This should be the biggest punishment for a person!

The young man kowtowed a few more times, then took out a smooth and round bead from his pocket, placed it in front of the stone grave, and then asked us to leave.

I felt excited. That bead must be the ‘Night Pearl’ in the mouth of the corpse, right?

Thinking of this, I was ready to step forward and pick up the beads and have a look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stretched out my hand, the boy immediately stood in front of me, as angry as a wild beast: "What are you doing? You don't want your life."

"Nothing." I explained in a panic: "I just want to see what this thing is. I think this thing is the key to the problem."

"Don't move." The young man said, "You will die if you touch it."

I had no choice but to retract my hand.

You can't tell what kind of material the beads are made of, and they are not transparent. They seem to be randomly carved from ordinary marble. Apart from the complicated patterns on the surface, there is nothing particularly attractive about it. It is not the luminous pearl of Cixi Lafayette at all.

"This bead...was found in your father's mouth?" I asked cautiously.

The young man said: "Let's get out of here quickly and talk about it when we get back."

He looked nervous and was racing against time to push us down the mountain.

I had no choice but to leave with the boy.

Strangely enough, when we reached the halfway point of the mountain, the air around us suddenly became cold, and then the birds and animals on the mountain seemed to have been stimulated by something, and they became a mess and flew away. This atmosphere is really depressing.

We ran down the mountain in one breath. The boy was still a little frightened and took us to prepare to leave the village.

I asked: "Why don't you go to your house?"

The boy said: "My home is not safe, and the villagers will not let me stay."

"Why don't you stay? This is your home after all." I asked in surprise.

The young man sighed deeply and said nothing more.

At this moment, one of the houses opened the door. Seeing that the young man was still in the village, he immediately yelled angrily: "You are a broom star, don't you think you have caused us enough misery? Get out of here."

The young man smiled dumbly and left sadly.

When we arrived in the town, the young man took us to a small restaurant and said he would treat us to dinner. He ordered three bowls of beef noodles. We both had meat in our bowls, but he didn't bother to add it.

Looking at the sticky noodles, I really lost my appetite.

But the boy didn't care at all and started gobbling it up, looking as if he hadn't eaten in several days.

Soon he finished his large bowl of noodles, and I pushed my bowl to him. He was a little embarrassed, but he finished eating in the end.

After eating so much, the boy was so full that he could hardly walk. He told us that he hadn't eaten for two days and was really a little out of sorts just now.

I smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, let's go to where you live! Tell us in detail."

The young man was even more embarrassed. He blushed and said that he had been sleeping on the street. The villagers did not allow him to live in the village, and he had no money, so he could only work as a beggar on the street.

I felt sad, why did those villagers treat a child like this?

Immediately I wanted to invite the young man into the hotel where Li Mazi and I were staying.

But the young man quickly waved his hands and disagreed, saying that he was dirty and should not make our place dirty.

I quickly said it was okay.

The young man was still a little scrupulous and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will bring bad luck to you?"

I laughed and said, "I specialize in this kind of business, why should I be afraid of bad luck?"

The young man nodded and went back with us.

But when the young man saw two beautiful girls sitting in the clean and comfortable room, he immediately blushed and stood at the door refusing to go in without saying anything.

Yin Xinyue saw that the young man had very low self-esteem, so she simply walked up and took the young man's hand, rubbed his head and said: "What are you afraid of, little guy? Go take a bath and change into new clothes! I will be your sister from now on." "

The boy cried loudly, turned around and ran out of the room.

There was no other way, so Li Mazi and I had no choice but to chase after him.

I smiled and asked the boy what was wrong? The young man said awkwardly that his two sisters were too good to him and he was not used to it.

I was a little speechless. What kind of life did this young man live before? How could he have such low self-esteem? Li Mazi and I had no choice but to find a private room. The three of us sat together and started chatting.

Without outsiders, the young man let go a little bit and told us his story.
