Chapter 14:Ganshi Ren (Corpse Driver) from Chuan Province
"Why are you coming back so late, it's cold, but don't get cold."The middle-aged man came forward and helped Song Jingyi to give a gift.
"It's snowing on the road, it's late."Song Jingyi said, pointing to Zhang Hao next to him, "This is my former student, Zhang Hao, the liberal arts yuan a few years ago, just came back from the outside."
“Oh, hey, it’s the tycoon!”
Song Junyi, a few years ago, there was a college entrance examination in their county, which was a golden phoenix flying out of the ravine.
However, Song Jun looked at it, suddenly narrowed his eyes, flashed a sharp, this boy looked like a mess, was beaten with a swollen nose, should not have committed any case, come back to avoid the guise.
Song Jun is the police chief of Anyang County, don't look at his beer belly, these years have been comfortable, fist and fist are wasted, but the investigation of the case is keen, but the fire is pure blue, like Zhang Hao, a small thief, a glance can see.
“Good, Uncle Song.”
Zhang Hao's face of laughter, Song Jun's eyes, he also saw at a glance, dark trough, or hurry to run, how dare to go to Song Jingyi's home for the night, if caught into the bureau, this is not a joke.
"Mr. Song, I'll go first, I'll go to Uncle Wang's house in the village tonight."
Zhang Hao hurried away, in order to go faster, he even called a three-wheeler.
In the old county, even taxis are few, mostly old electric three-wheeled.
“Zhang Hao, you wait.”Song Jingyi called Zhang Hao, "You just came back, you have trouble, remember to call me."
“Oh, I know, thank you, teacher.”Zhang Hao answered and got into the car and left.
However, seeing the tricycle leave, Song Jingyi only reacted, this guy did not know her phone number, but a word of promise, clearly perfunctory her, thinking of this, Song Jingyi stomping his feet without a good mood.
The south of the city, located on the south side of the county, a half-hour drive arrived, sitting three rounds spent more than 20 pieces, Zhang Hao can not help but heartache.
The town is still the same, usually very few people, only when the market is lively.
Zhang Hao found a grocery store, bought an umbrella and flashlight, and prepared to walk at night.
His family is in the royal village, more than ten miles away from the town.
A few years ago, the country set off the slogan of "to get rich and build roads first", the village has built a small road, but only mud, as soon as it rains, the small road is somewhat muddy, but it is still flat.
At more than ten o'clock, Zhang Hao rushed to the royal village, saw the village's faint lights, let Zhang Hao feel inexplicably excited, go home, although there is nothing at home, but this feeling, it is really too good, it seems to eat outside the bitter head, this moment are gone, the whole person relaxed.
Compared with the county, the changes in the village are very large, and many people have built new houses.
In recent years, the rural people, all the workers went out to work, and the work made money, did not go to the city to buy a house, are their own back to the countryside to build a house, but also in response to the country's new rural policy.
Zhang Hao found his own house, flashlight illuminated, is an old tile house, did not live in a few years, the wind and rain, the house has been broken, the tiles have fallen a lot, Zhang Hao can not help but feel sad.
Others have made money to go home to build a new house, but he went out for a few years, but he came back, this kind of heartache, can not help but wet eyes.
"Master, I'm back."
He knelt on the ground and raised three heads.
The inheritance of his veins is not actually an ordinary rural priest, but a small branch of the Taoist - the corpse.
The corpses, in order to transport the body, originated from the ancient sorcery, the early Qing Dynasty into Sichuan Province, formed a new faction by the Ma Yi Daoists, which prevailed in the middle of the Qing Dynasty and fell during the Republic of China.
This has to start from the end of the Ming Dynasty, the war is in a series of wars, Zhang Xianzhong massacres in Sichuan Province, the population has been sharply reduced, and then the Qing soldiers entered the customs, ruled the Tian Dynasty, the Sichuan Province is full of smoke, tax collection, Kangxi Emperor mobilized the foreign population, and moved into the river on a large scale, known as "Lake Guangxuan River".
The ancients believed that the leaves were rooted, the large-scale foreign population went to the river, and they had to return home after death, and the transportation of the dead belonged to the yin and yang border, and there was a lot of taboo, so they asked the yin and yang people in their hometown, among them, a witchcraft, would drive the corpses, but in this way, the necromancer was introduced to Sichuan Province.
The corpses were rural Taoists of the sacks, and when they saw that the business of transporting the dead was in short supply, they learned the morgue-killing art and doing the business of transporting the dead, which formed this branch.
However, the previous generations of Huguang filled the river, remember their original hometown, and the descendants of people, are from Sichuan Province, native, to Sichuan Province as their hometown, do not have to go back, and Taoists are also people, but also to support the family, the business of transporting the body is gone, the industry of the corpse is also down.
This vein of Zhang Hao is a foreigner, because this special place in the royal village can be continued.
