Chapter 184: Going to Wu's House to Drive Away the Corpses at Night
"Which one are you chasing?" Li Rong asked curiously.
"Old Man Wu."
Officer Zheng answered.
"Didn't Old Man Wu die at home? Where are you going?"
"Don't go anywhere, just let him hang around the house, can you handle it?"
Official Zheng sneered. Everyone in the Wu family owed Ade. He would settle the accounts slowly and scare them first.
"Just hanging around the house? You don't go out, right?" Li Rong asked.
"Let this old guy out for a walk for half an hour at night to scare the Wu family." Officer Zheng said.
"No problem, I have something for you to do too."
Li Rong readily agreed. It would be too easy to do it without leaving the house. His half-baked secret technique of corpse-driving would definitely be no problem.
"What's up?"
"It's simple. Just go to Old Man Bai and buy antiques." Li Rong said with a smile.
The old man in white doesn’t know yet that his precious cultural relic is gone. He can’t wait for the old guy to discover it himself, so it’s better to let him know as soon as possible.
Officer Zheng looked at him deeply and agreed.
"There's one more thing. Will the Wu family burn Old Man Wu?" Li Rong was a little worried.
"No, Old Man Wu said a long time ago that he wanted to be buried. Besides, many of the Wu family's descendants are abroad. It will take at least a week for the whole family to gather together. This old man will definitely be kept at home for burial."
Zheng Guan's tone was very firm.
"When does it begin?"
Li Rong is very active. In fact, he likes corpse-driving very much, but unfortunately he has not learned it well. When he has the chance, he will go back to Xiangxi to find his uncle, who is the old man's younger brother and a very good corpse-driver. Then he will ask his uncle to teach him a few tricks. It is always good to have more skills. It will definitely not be a bad thing to learn more skills.
"After midnight tonight."
“OK!”
Li Rong agreed readily.
Officer Zheng returned to his box. Ade would be unhappy if he stayed out for too long.
It was dark and time for dinner when the Wu family finally realized that Old Man Wu had not gone out all day and had not eaten lunch. When they opened the door, they saw Old Man Wu lying on the ground with a painful expression. His body was stiff and it was obvious that he had been dead for a long time.
The first person to discover that something had happened to Old Man Wu was Wu De's mother. Wu Xiong was not at home, and he had been living with his lover during this period, and basically did not return home at night.
In fact, Wu's mother knew everything, but she turned a blind eye and pretended not to know. She never asked about it and lived in peace with the mistress.
However, this harmony was soon broken. Wu's mother called her lover and asked Wu Xiong to come back quickly.
Upon hearing that the old man was dead, Wu Xiong rushed back immediately. Seeing the old man Wu's stiff body, he felt a deep sense of unease.
He knew very well that the Wu family could only be where they are today thanks to the old man's luck-sucking technique. Although one person had to be sacrificed in every generation, compared to the prosperity of the Wu family, this little sacrifice could be ignored.
Over the years, the Wu family has become more and more prosperous, with more and more people, and his father's health has become stronger and stronger. Now that his father has suddenly died, does it mean that the Wu family's good luck will also end?
Wu Xiong suppressed his inner uneasiness and began to deal with the affairs after Old Man Wu's death.
The Wu family's living room was set up as a mourning hall, and Old Man Wu's coffin was also placed there, waiting for all the Wu family members to arrive before burial.
Wu De finally found out about this. Zheng Guan accompanied him back and lived in Wu's house. He was worried about leaving A De alone in the wolf's den.
Someone had to keep watch at night, and the Wu family members took turns. The first night it was Ade and another cousin.
As the night deepened, the candlelight in front of the mourning hall swayed in the wind, outlining strange and twisted black shadows on the wall, which looked a bit creepy.
Officer Zheng accompanied Wu De to keep watch. The wall clock struck twelve, and it was midnight. He subconsciously looked at the coffin. Old man Wu was lying inside, motionless.
Wu De was dozing off. He usually went to bed early and felt sleepy at a certain time.
The other cousin was quite energetic and was reading a martial arts novel with great interest.
"Go to sleep, I'll keep watch for you."
Zheng Guan said in a low voice.
Wu De was a little hesitant. He wanted to keep vigil for his grandfather. After all, the old man had been very kind to him when he was alive.
"I'm on guard, so you're on guard. Go to sleep."
Zheng Guan's words convinced Wu De that he and A Guan were indeed inseparable, like one person.
He yawned loudly and went to bed with tears in his eyes.
Only Zheng Guan and Wu De's cousin were left in the mourning hall. One of them was sitting quietly while the other was reading a novel, and they ignored each other.
Officer Zheng suddenly raised his head with an alert expression. It seemed like something flashed past just now. The speed was extremely fast, which was not something a human could run at.
He looked around and found nothing, so he continued to sit quietly.
Li Rong had already reached the coffin. He was wearing a black nightgown and a mask. He took out a few talismans he had made hastily from his pocket and stuck them one by one on Old Man Wu's body.
Then he started gesturing and muttering something. Gradually, the speed of his gestures became faster and faster, and even afterimages appeared.
"rise!"
Li Rong pointed at the corpse and whispered.
The lying old man Wu slowly sat up, then slowly stood up, stepped out of the coffin, and slowly walked.
His limbs were as stiff as wood and his gait was very strange. Even if you saw him in broad daylight, it would be scary to death, let alone now that it was pitch black in the middle of the night.
Officer Zheng was the first to see Old Man Wu slowly walking towards him. He casually picked up a bunch of grapes from the altar, picked one and threw it to his cousin next to him.
The cousin finally raised his head and saw a scene that he would never forget.
The dead grandfather is alive!
My cousin was so scared that his face turned pale and he kept shaking. He wanted to call for help, but his throat felt like it was blocked by cotton and he couldn't make a sound. The cold sweat running down his forehead was bigger than soybeans and it stung and hurt when it flowed into his eyes.
Zheng Guan pointed towards his cousin. He guessed that Li Rong was behind the corpse. He was not mistaken just now. That inhuman speed was caused by this kid.
He always thought that he was very skilled and could be ranked among the top ten in Hong Kong Island, but now he didn't dare to think so. Li Rong could easily crush him and he was no match for him at all.
As expected, Old Man Wu changed direction and walked towards his cousin.
"Click...click...click..."
The sound of Old Man Wu's feet dragging on the ground was a bit strange and made people feel cold on the back.
The terrified cousin watched Old Man Wu walk up to him, less than a meter away from him.
"Oh my god, grandpa is dead!"
The cousin's voice finally came back, and the scream resounded through the sky, waking up all the Wu family members.
Wu Xiong was the first to go downstairs. He saw his nephew spinning rapidly in the living room. He was usually too lazy to grow hair, but now he was running like the wind.
"Uncle, grandpa is back from the dead!"
My cousin was out of breath and couldn't run anymore.
"nonsense……"
Before Wu Xiong could finish his words, he saw his dear old father coming back to life, and his eyes almost popped out.
"dad?"
He called out tentatively, but the corpse didn't respond.
"Dad, if you're still alive, just let me know."
The corpse remained unresponsive and continued to walk tirelessly.
Wu De's heart sank, and the feeling of uneasiness grew stronger and stronger. He thought about it and decided to call Master Yang to come and deal with it. The old man was restless when he was alive, and he was still restless after his death. Master Yang had to calm the old man down, otherwise who could stand him walking around every night?
