Chapter 2 The Butcher
After making up their minds, everyone discussed again and selected three people to handle the corpses.
The first one was Tailor Zhang, because he was the one who killed the Taoist priest, and the whole village was wiping his butt.
The second one is Butcher Liu. He took the initiative to ask for the job, as if he wanted to show his righteousness.
The third is an ordinary farmer named Yang Kaiyu, who is also my biological father.
A year ago, my mother died in childbirth while giving birth to me. Yang Kaiyu became a widower overnight and spent all his family's savings.
When he came home from the hospital, Yang Kaiyu didn't have a penny in his pocket. He was holding me in front of him and carrying my mother's body behind him.
Under tremendous pressure, he almost took our mother and son into the Qushui River at the end of the village.
Fortunately, he got help from the villagers, and each household lent him some grain. I survived by drinking donkey milk from the production team.
After this incident, Yang Kaiyu owed the whole village a debt of gratitude. He would usually help out for free whenever there was any big or small matter in the village, so he agreed to bury the corpse this time.
In the evening of that day, the spectators gradually dispersed.
Butcher Liu wrapped the corpses in a torn mat, made a simple frame with bamboo poles, and carried the two corpses up the hillside with Yang Kaiyu.
The three of them worked hard in the dark and finally dug the grave.
A gust of night wind blew by, and the full moon in the night sky was covered with a layer of mist.
Yang Kaiyu shivered with cold as his sweat-soaked body, then stared at the female corpse beside him and muttered in a low voice: "Hey, it's so pitiful to die at such a young age..."
Butcher Liu snorted beside him.
"How dare you walk on that remote mountain road alone with such a graceful appearance? If others don't harm her, who will harm her?
But having said that, that person can be so comfortable for once, which can be considered a blessing from his previous life."
Yang Kaiyu immediately shook his head.
"What's your point? That man harmed the girl but it was the girl who was wrong? Is it wrong to be so beautiful?"
Butcher Liu lit a cigarette and grinned.
"Brother, you've got it right.
It's her fault that she's so pretty. A man will miss you if he sees such a pretty face, but if he only misses her and can't eat it, won't that make him have evil thoughts?"
Yang Kaiyu frowned and walked aside.
"You are talking nonsense."
Butcher Liu smiled.
"Brother, you are just too simple-minded. You will understand after you get in touch with a few more women."
As he spoke, Butcher Liu actually reached out to touch the face of the female corpse, but Yang Kaiyu quickly stopped him.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Butcher Liu coughed, with a smirk on his face.
"Didn't you just say that it was a pity that she died? She must have died so young before she was married. Before we go on the road, please let me love her."
Seeing that Butcher Liu was disrespecting the female corpse, Yang Kaiyu hurriedly pulled him away.
But Butcher Liu was tall and thick. Not only could he not pull the man away, but he was slapped to the ground by the other man.
"Stinky Lao Jiu, don't be so fucking shameless. You should stay out of my business!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards the female corpse, when suddenly a gust of wind blew by.
Butcher Liu suddenly felt a chill in his heart and swallowed his saliva.
"It's his grandma's, no way..."
His neck turned stiffly like a rusty mechanical shaft, his eyes widened and his body trembled.
I saw the white hand of the female corpse grabbing his wrist!
The female corpse's hands were surprisingly strong, like an iron cuff tightly cuffing Butcher Liu's wrist. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.
At this time, dark clouds covered the moon disk in the sky, and the female corpse suddenly opened her eyes in the darkness.
Butcher Liu yelled and was so frightened that he almost lost control.
"Yang...Brother Yang, come here and help me..."
Yang Kaiyu was slapped by him just now and was still angry at this time.
"What are you screaming about so late at night?"
At this moment, Yang Kaiyu turned his head and made eye contact with the female corpse's pair of blind white eyes.
His whole body was stunned, and he instantly felt a stream of cold air rushing from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai.
"I'm going to kill my ancestor..."
Before he finished speaking, he ran away.
Butcher Liu shouted anxiously: "Your uncle Yang Laojiu, if you dare to leave me behind, I won't let you go no matter what I do!"
Yang Kaiyu didn't want to talk to Butcher Liu, but before he could take two steps, he tripped on something and fell to the ground.
The crazy Tailor Zhang on the side didn’t know why, and he was still standing there laughing and clapping his hands.
After Yang Kaiyu fell, he felt like his thighs were cramped and he couldn't get up.
At this time, the female corpse's body suddenly straightened up, her red lips were almost touching Butcher Liu's ear and she said, "You defiled my body that day, why did you kill me after that?"
Only then did Yang Kaiyu, who was lying on the ground, realize that the murderer who had humiliated and then killed this woman a few days ago was Butcher Liu.
That day, Butcher Liu went to a neighboring village to help people kill pigs. When he returned to the village, he happened to bump into this girl.
At that time, he drank too much at the pig-killing feast, and seeing that there was no one else on the mountain, he became malicious and attacked the girl.
Afterwards, in order to destroy the body and eliminate traces, Butcher Liu threw the girl's body into a nearby ravine where few people went, thinking that this way the matter would not be exposed.
But he didn't expect that a few days later, a Taoist priest would carry the girl's body out of the ravine and deliver it to the village.
Butcher Liu was afraid that his affairs would be exposed by the Taoist priest, so he wanted to kill him to silence him.
Later, he found Tailor Zhang, a lunatic in the village, and lied to him that the person who killed his daughter had come to the village again.
After hearing what he said, Tailor Zhang was so excited that he chased the Taoist priest to the entrance of the village with a kitchen knife and chopped him with a knife.
After Yang Kaiyu learned the truth, he sympathized with the woman's plight and then reprimanded Butcher Liu for his behavior that was worse than a beast.
Maybe it was because his fear had reached the extreme, or maybe it was because the insults from this man and a ghost made him angry and angry.
At this time, Butcher Liu was no longer afraid of the female ghost. Instead, he took off the butcher's knife from his waist and chopped off the female corpse's hand with one blow.
"Mom, what a fool, who is afraid of whom? I could kill you before, but I can kill you again now!"
As he said that, Yang Kaiyu noticed that there was a dark energy coming from Butcher Liu's body. At this moment, the female corpse who originally wanted to take revenge actually showed a look of fear on her face!
Yang Kaiyu remembered that he had heard people say that people like butchers and executioners would have a kind of hostility in their bodies because they killed too many animals. Even ghosts and gods would respect them if they had this kind of hostility to protect themselves.
Now it seems that this statement is not weak.
