Twilight Boundary

"It's just a wild dog, but it actually has so many talks?"

When Aunt Zhang said this, Hu Ma was also a little surprised. She had heard of many wild dogs that eat dead bodies and even humans before, but she had never heard of such evil ones. You could just dig into graves, but actually Still want to eat directly from the coffin?

"They are all cannibals who have eaten too much human flesh and become infected with evil spirits..."

Aunt Zhang sighed lowly and said, "When wild dogs are hungry, they will dig up graves, dig out coffins, and pull the dead people out to eat."

"The more I ate, the more I tasted human flesh. My eyes became red, and there was corpse poison in my mouth. My temper became more and more evil, and I had my own set of rules."

"We are most afraid of two things when we help people support their souls. One is picking up the body, and the other is the fear of people begging for the body."

"..."

Seeing that Aunt Zhang was serious, Hu Ma also concentrated for a moment and said: "Then what should I do with it? Let them chop it all up?"

I know only a little about the ways of the ghost walker, but the skills of the old man are real.

I carry a knife, there is no reason to be afraid of these wild dogs.

"You must not..."

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhang was startled and said hurriedly: "If you kill him, you will be in trouble."

"As soon as you take action, no matter how many you kill, you will offend these wild dogs, and they will follow you along the way, calling out all the evil spirits along the way to embarrass you. They will also form gangs, call in more, and If you urinate all the way to the water source or upwind, the urine will be poisonous.”

"The place we are walking to now has few living people and many dead people. I am afraid there are many evil spirits lurking there. If you are entangled by them, you will not be able to stop."

"..."

Hu Ma was surprised when he heard this: "They still have such ability?"

Agu Zhang shook her head: "In places where there are few living people, these evil spirits will adapt and appear some that do not belong to the rules among living people..."

Hu Ma nodded, turned around and saw luxuriant grass and ruins.

In the cold wind, there were countless vicious dogs with dry red eyes, running around in the distance from time to time. Some of them were talking to each other. Looking at them from a distance, they seemed to be discussing something in a low voice.

Those ruthless bandits have killed not many people here, but there are quite a few wild dogs?

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and asked Aunt Zhang without panic, "Is there a solution?"

Aunt Zhang was also thinking about it and said, "How much meat did you get from the caravan yesterday?"

Hu Ma said: "I replaced two large pieces of bacon yesterday. I haven't eaten much yet. There are also a lot of other rice and noodles."

"Bring a piece of pork!"

Agu Zhang whispered: "One of these wild dogs must have become a Taoist."

"It is the one who is instructing these wild dogs to follow us and ask for corpses to eat. Once there is a fight, it is this one that has the ability to call the evil spirits around to make things difficult for us."

"Let's follow the rules first, give it some benefits, make it proud, and let our group pass."

"I never thought that one day I would actually negotiate with wild dogs..."

Hu Madu smiled helplessly, turned around and took out the baggage from the donkey cart next to the coffin.

There were two large pieces of cured pork inside, one weighing more than ten kilograms and the other more than twenty kilograms.

Aunt Zhang was not stingy and asked Hu Ma to carry the piece weighing more than twenty kilograms. Just as she was about to go over, she heard Agu Zhang whisper:

"Bring the knife too."

"..."

Hu Ma was startled for a moment, then smiled, turned around and took the knife.

Aunt Zhang has always been kind to others along the way, but this is the first time she even thought about carrying a knife.

With the serrated knife on her waist and the bacon in her hand, Aunt Zhang also picked up a stick from the roadside, then took out the red thread from the bag, wrapped it around the stick, and then hid it in her wide sleeve. Inside, I took the flax and walked towards the wild dog in front of me.

The driver behind the car, Shiba Shi and the waiter, saw their strange behavior and stared with wide eyes. Butler Zhou didn't say a word and only guarded the coffin.

"Woof..."

Seeing Hu Ma and the others approaching, the few wild dogs blocking the road in front of them subconsciously wanted to escape.

But when he saw that the two of them were holding bacon in their hands, and they didn't seem to be hostile, they took a few steps away and turned around to look.

He let out a low growl, seeming to order them to stop.

As expected, Aunt Zhang stopped in front of them and said respectfully: "Enemies in front of me, we are ghost wanderers who travel north and south. We are entrusted by others to send the dead back home. We have no grudges with our enemies before and after." .”

"I passed by your place today. Thanks to the warm-heartedness of my friends, they escorted me all the way. I had nothing to repay. I only had a piece of bacon left, so I asked my friends to accept it..."

"..."

The surrounding area was quiet for a moment, and countless dark red eyes were staring at the bacon in Hu Ma's hand.

"Aunt Zhang said it politely, but I didn't see any reaction from them..."

Hu Ma thought to herself: "Is it possible that these guys are not smart enough to understand human speech?"

When I was thinking about it, I never thought that those vicious dogs stared at the bacon and drooled for a long time. Finally, they actually turned their heads and ran to the side of the road. Then they looked back at them, as if to signal them to follow. , and then fled to the deserted fields on the roadside.

Hu Ma saw that Aunt Zhang was following her, so she followed suit. Following the wild dog in front of her, she wandered around the slopes and came to a circle of graves.

There were many black stone tablets standing around, like the ancestral tombs of a wealthy family, but they had all been dug up, and the dowry clothes, rotten dead wood, and various antiques were scattered all over the ground.

Even the dead bones in the coffin were pulled out. There are still traces of grinding and grinding teeth on the bones, and flies are flying around. It can be said that the evening scene is completely "bleak".

When the leading wild dog arrived here, it retreated behind the monument and disappeared. The surrounding area was quiet for a while.

Aunt Zhang let out a low breath, signaled Hu Ma to pick up the bacon in her hand, walked towards the empty grave circle, and said what she said at the beginning again.

Then they waited quietly. After a long while, a low whine suddenly sounded from behind the circle of graves, and then a wild dog came out and looked at them with a sinister look.

Hu Ma couldn't help being surprised when she saw this wild dog.

I saw that this wild dog was as big as a calf, and its eyes were dark red, as if bleeding.

The most important thing is that there are several large pustules on its head and body.

I don’t know if he ate too much dead human flesh, but the shapes of human faces were vaguely formed on the pustules.

Especially the pustule on the back, even the facial features were formed, squeezed together and wrinkled, it looked like a human face growing on the back of a dog.

Seeing this wild dog, even Agu Zhang sighed lowly.

He turned to Hu Ma and said, "Brother, shopkeeper, please present the gift we prepared for our enemy!"

Hu Ma nodded and stepped forward. When he saw the wild dog staring at him, he stopped and placed the bacon horizontally on the ground.

"There were no grudges in the past, and no grudges these days. It is better to dissolve enemies than to make them..."

Agu Zhang turned to the wild dog and said respectfully: "Please accept this piece of bacon. Can you let us pass?"

He was still so polite, but his tone seemed to have changed a little.

The wild dog stared at the bacon on the ground. Its dark red eyes were gloomy and could not see anything. Then it looked up at Aunt Zhang and Hu Ma, and drool began to flow from the corner of its mouth.

It didn't know what it was thinking, but its eyes turned back and forth between Hu Ma and the others and the piece of bacon on the ground. At the end, its eyes seemed to be getting redder and redder, and it suddenly let out a low "woof" cry, with a hoarse voice, like a ghost crying.

Immediately afterwards, the grass suddenly rustled around, and fluffy heads emerged from the darkness one by one.

A pair of eyes that looked a little strange stared at them, and they whimpered in their throats.

Hu Ma glanced around and saw these wild dogs. Some were bald, some had wounds, some were covered in lice, and some were as shriveled as firewood. But without exception, they all looked extremely ferocious, and their saliva flowed down their cheeks. The fangs fell down drop by drop.

He lowered his voice and said, "What's going on?"

"disagree."

Aunt Zhang also sighed lowly and said, "Not only does she want what's in the coffin, she also wants us!"

"When I saw the leader, I knew that things might not go well today. I don't know how many dead people they have eaten. There may be still people alive, and they have human face sores on their bodies."

"Every time this sore grows, it becomes more evil. I don't know how many dead people's brains it had to eat in order to grow so many..."

"..."

Hu Ma also stared at the sores on the leader's body and said, "Then..."

"Beat these beasts."

Aunt Zhang also gritted her teeth slightly and suddenly said: "It's just that the shopkeeper must be careful not to let the leader run away, otherwise there will be endless trouble..."

"..."

Before he finished speaking, the leader saw that the wild dogs had surrounded the two people, and suddenly let out a long howl. The dark red eyes of the surrounding wild dogs seemed to be filled with blood, and they suddenly became crazy, and their four claws Digging the ground, he rushed towards Hu Ma and Agu Zhang.

For a moment, there was a fishy wind, and the rancid smell from the dog's mouth made people dizzy. There were sharp teeth and claws everywhere.

Aunt Zhang, who was usually shy, suddenly took out the wooden stick hidden in her backhand, swung it and hit a dog in front of her on the head.

But after the leader gave the order, the dog's face seemed to show a human-like sinister look.

Instead of rushing forward, he slowly retreated deeper into the grave circle.

But at this moment, Hu Ma was not in a hurry to take action. When the wild dog rushed up, he had already raised his hand and pressed it on his ribs.

I was doing my kung fu secretly, and my five internal organs suddenly vibrated, and suddenly there was a sound of spring thunder:

"drink!"

"..."

The Five Thunder Golden Toad roars!

Hu Ma didn't know what was going on, and was also worried that these wild dogs would be too difficult to deal with, and her two internal organs would scream in unison.

Even though it was only two viscera, it was like a bolt from the blue. The wild dogs were so frightened that they howled, clamped their tails, and fled in all directions.

The even more timid ones just crawled to the ground.

The wild dog leader, who had retreated halfway into the grave circle, suddenly changed his expression and his eyes widened.

Hu Ma had already pulled out the serrated knife and gave it a stern smile.
