Give Me the Name of God

There is indeed a strong smell of corpses in the cave. To Manda, this smell is not pungent or even unpleasant. In his previous life, he had eaten all kinds of carrion, and some carrion tasted worse than this. many.

The entrance is very narrow, and walking tens of meters along the only light in front of you is like entering the stomach of a gourd from the mouth of the gourd, and the surroundings immediately open up.

It was not only open but bright, with torches on the walls, candlesticks on the table, and a bare wooden bed with no blanket or quilt, spotted with red and green spots.

This is blood, and some places are green because of mildew. Manda was wondering about the purpose of this bed, when she suddenly heard an old laugh from behind.

"Hey hey, what a nice guy."

Manda turned her head and saw an old lady standing behind her. As a twelve-year-old boy, he was less than 1.5 meters tall. Since coming to this world, Manda has spent most of her time looking up at the adults around her People (except Kunta), but now he can easily look down on this old lady.

The old lady was hunched over, as if she was less than one meter tall, and she was leaning on a crutch that was taller than her.

He wore a gray linen robe, old but neat.

A dark brown silk scarf was wrapped around her head, and under the shadow of the candlelight, the shadow of the silk scarf just covered her face.

Manda kept looking for angles, wanting to see what the old lady looked like, but unexpectedly the old lady raised her head suddenly.

"What do you want to see? What do you want to do? What do you want from me?"

This time he saw the old lady's face clearly. Her skin was as rough as bark, with pimples of different sizes dotted between the criss-cross wrinkles. Her lips were almost the same color as her brownish-yellow skin. A head of dried garlic hangs on her face, her sparse eyebrows are as gray and white as her hair, and only her eyes, although cloudy, are full of spirit.

"You are Portia, right? I'm here to get my body." Manda looked at the old lady calmly, without any fear on her face. To him, an old woman had nothing to fear, even There is a little bit of kindness.

But the old lady didn't want to be too friendly, she put her face in front of Manda, grinned her toothless mouth, and said with a ferocious smile: "So, you are here to die?"

Manda stared at the old lady for a while, then suddenly stretched out her small hand and touched the old lady's face.

The old lady raised her eyebrows sharply, and suddenly raised her cane. Unexpectedly, Manda stretched out her small mouth and kissed her on the forehead.

"Beautiful lady, I want my body."

The old lady's cheeks were flushed, and she was shaking into a ball holding her crutches.

After a long stalemate, the old lady regained her composure, holding a cane and a candlestick, she came to the stone wall.

"Don't pretend to be so brave, I know you're about to pee your pants."

She poked her cane hard on the ground, a cloud of dust fell, and a large rock wall shrank aside like a curtain.

There are dozens of corpses hanging behind the rock wall, including men, women, old people and children.

When Manda came closer, he shivered in a burst of threatening cold.

"Are you afraid?" The old lady sneered, "Which one is your corpse?"

Manda looked at it for a while, then pointed to a boy who was similar in stature and said, "I want that!"

"You have a good eye. This child's figure is very similar to yours."

The old lady picked the body off the hook with her cane.

"Sensible children should help the old man." The old lady looked at the wooden bed, and Manda understood what she meant, and carried the corpse to the bed with the old lady.

"Every year, there are always such unlucky people who come to places they shouldn't come. Naturally, the bodies of the Cloud Desai family have to be returned, and other people's bodies are disposed of separately. I like to eat their hearts and livers."

Manda looked at the old lady seriously: "Does it taste good?"

The old lady frowned and said, "Do you want to try it? If you don't want to have nightmares, just close your eyes!"

The old lady put the candlestick aside, took out a small knife, cut open the stomach of the corpse, and skillfully removed the internal organs.

"This is the heart, this is the liver, this is the lungs, this is the stomach, this is the intestines, it's almost there, only a few fragments..."

The internal organs were thrown into the barrel under the bed, and Manda stood by, watching with a blank expression.

The old lady changed another knife and dug out the eyeballs of the corpse. This time, they were not put into a wooden barrel, but into a small wooden box.

"This is the most precious thing, it must be kept, and this..."

She used a pair of pliers to pull out a few teeth from the corpse: "It just happened to be left to make a new set of dentures. Anyway, it's a corpse, and they won't care about the lack of these teeth."

After pulling out the teeth, she shaved the corpse's hair and made sure there was nothing to take away. The old lady wiped the blood from her hands and said, "This is yours now."

Manda was stunned: "I just brought him to the mouth of the valley? They are not fools, they can tell at a glance that this is not me."

"I thought you were a fool!" The old witch smiled, and took out a clay pot from the dark compartment under the wooden bed, scooped out a spoonful of turquoise powder with a wooden spoon, and put it into a cloth bag.

"Sprinkle this thing on the corpse, and don't touch your hands. The corpse will soon turn into bones, and there will be no flesh left."

Is this the legendary corpse powder?

Manda was agitated, picked up the cloth bag, and was about to sprinkle the powder, but saw the old lady hit Manda's hand with a stick.

"What do you want to do? Dissolve the corpse now? Do you want to carry a pile of bones to the outside of the valley?"

"What's wrong with that?" Manda rubbed her hands, "The bones are lighter."

"Can you put him back together? Are you not afraid that someone will see you? Go outside the valley and dissolve the corpse, you stupid boy!"

Manda struggled to carry the corpse on his back and came to the entrance of the cave. Below was a cliff tens of meters high, almost straight up and down. Climbing down with a corpse that weighed dozens of kilograms on his back was tantamount to nonsense.

"I can't go down!" Manda shouted into the cave.

"Do you want me to carry you down?" the old lady's voice came out.

"If I fall to my death, you have to carry me up, take out my internal organs, and then carry me out. Wouldn't that be more troublesome?"

The old lady was amused, she raised her crutches, took two steps to run up, and threw the crutches like throwing a javelin.

The crutch pierced through Manda's clothes, but it didn't hurt Manda. It took him directly outside the cave, and after a while of gliding, he landed on the ground smoothly.

The crutches withdrew from the hole in his clothes, and he jumped back into the cave.

"I kissed your face, but you refused to give me an extra ride. What a hard woman to please."

Manda complained a few words, carried the corpse on his back, and walked to the mouth of the valley in the twilight of the evening.

This corpse weighs almost as much as Manda, but it doesn't make much difference as if carrying a schoolbag on its back.

Physical strength has improved, improved a lot.

Manda couldn't help trotting, and the speed was very different from before.

There was a rabbit grazing in the valley ahead, Manda bent down and grabbed it, then threw it out again.

The rabbit got up, pricked up one ear at Manda, and continued to eat grass.

Manda's physical fitness has been greatly improved, which is the change brought about by the blood of the gods. With such a physique, combined with the fighting skills of the previous life and dinosaurs, Manda can easily deal with three or four adult men.

He quickly ran to the mouth of the valley, but the sentry did not stop him. It was true that no one was around, so he put the body on the open space outside the valley, and poured the powder in the cloth bag on the body.

I thought I would see a violent chemical reaction, but the scene was surprisingly calm. The corpse slowly melted into water like jelly. There was no sound or smoke, and there was no trace of flesh and blood left on the smooth bones.

Manda felt that the location was not very good. He wanted the corpse to be more conspicuous, but he didn't dare to move easily for fear of breaking the skeleton. In the midst of struggling, he suddenly saw two flames appearing in the distance.

He hurriedly hid in the valley, and saw two men approaching the bones, as if they had discovered their long-lost father, they shouted excitedly.

These two people are the servants of Baron Cloudsay, and Manda knew them. One of them stayed to guard the bones, and the other went back to report. Manda can confirm one thing. In name, the illegitimate child of the Cloudsay family has died.
