Chapter 21: 22nd person

My name is Xue Xueming.
Lives in a very remote small mountain village in western Hunan. A few years ago, the village had just built a cement road. The county chief said that the country supports poor mountain villages throughout the country.
Listen to the grandfather, before the reform and opening up, the ancients, the phenomenon of lynching and harsh criminal law is very common everywhere.
There are several kinds of death methods that are the most evil, and the most resentful after death, and some strange things often happen.
Like the five punishments, 醢 (hǎi) punishment, sawing, shelling, 虿 (chài) pot, people 潘 (zhì)), cooking, peeling, bowel, waist cut, car cracking, five horse split body, live buried, cesarean, wooden horse donkey Baptist pig cages are all in the mouth of grandpa, the most common method of torture in ancient times.
Five punishments are to cut people's hands, feet, eyes, ears, and finally behead, and then cut the trunk into three pieces. That's what people often say is the big eight.
Punishment is the punishment of tragic death. Each time Ling Chi was executed by two people. Before execution, he covered the whole body with a fishnet, and then cut from the feet. It was necessary to cut a thousand pieces of meat before the prisoner was allowed to die. Grandpa heard that someone had cut off for three days and three nights.
Saw cutting is to cut a person alive with an iron saw.
These criminal laws, one is more terrible than the other one. At that time, I was only six or seven years old. I was so scared that I dared not sleep alone for a month.
Now think about it, I ca n’t help but be thankful that I was n’t born in the ancient times where lynching and torture were rampant.
Grandpa said that these people were too painful before they died, so that they could not swallow their grievances after death, and the death was too miserable, and weird events often occurred, and generally no one dared to approach these bodies.
So there was the corpse-repairing trade specializing in dealing with the dead.
Some people also called Xiangxi driving a corpse.
Each industry has its own rules and regulations, and there are many taboos among cadavers.
Just like my grandfather once told me, those who died in the waist must not bury the upper and lower bodies in one place. Usually, the upper and lower bodies are buried on the banks of rivers, rivers, and cliffs, which means that the two bodies are cut off, and the three souls and seven souls are incomplete, preventing the dead body from changing after death.
Grandpa said that those who cut down the waist usually just find out rivers and streams and bury them on both sides. But the more miserable before the death, the more painful, the more hatred, the longer the person who can't breathe for a long time, the heavier the grievance after death, the place where this corpse is buried must be cautious, and it will often be selected in a different place. The mountains and rivers Fengshui cut their grievances.
The reason why Grandpa understands the taboos of back corpses is so, because the grandfather's ancestors have been back corpses for generations.
It was only after the reform and opening up, the law was enlightened, after the country banned torture, lynching in various places, and the transportation was well developed, slowly, no one looked for the corpse back.
In order to make a living, the carpenters also began to disappear.
However, when I was nine years old, my father secretly hid my grandfather and gave him a dead body. Half a month later, my father was peeled off the body and hung on the old tree in the village entrance!
……
Du Feifei quickly quit her mobile phone novel with a scalp numbness. She was as scared as a kitten and her hair blew up. When she saw that it was 8 o'clock at night, it was the only company left.
At this time, the office was empty, extremely claustrophobic, quiet, and the night sky outside the window was dark.
The twenties turned out to look for a job after graduating from college, and has not yet completed the internship period of three months. Today is the first time the quiet girl who works in the night shift for the first time in life. In the direction, there is always a person hiding in the empty office or corridor, only two cold eyes are peeping at her.
Du Feifei's scalp is numb, and her heartbeat is like playing drums. In fact, she is very clear that all of this is her own surprise, because she is too afraid to imagine it out of thin air. But knowing that, I still can't help thinking something terrible.
Du Feifei regretted that she knew that she would not take the last time to turn off the computer and took out the fruit phone to read the novel.
Pop, pop, suddenly!
Man's footsteps were heard outside the empty corridor.
Du Feifei stiffened his body, his expression flashed panic and fear.
Papa, Papa ... The sound of footsteps is with a steady, rhythmic tapping sound, tapping on the heart at once, getting closer and closer.
Is approaching her.
"Who is who is outside!"
"Is it the building security guarding the building?"
"Are you outside the corridor?"
Du Feifei was cold and sweating, feeling his voice shaking.
The footsteps of the men outside the hallway stopped suddenly, and there was no sound at all.
Du Feifei was like a startled bird, her body suddenly like the cold of the ice cellar, she raised her ears to listen, but could not hear anything.
Only the fan sound of the computer is shutting down, it is still rotating at high speed.
Time lapsed slowly, and it was like a year of torment. Just when Du Feifei could not bear the psychological pressure, slap, slap, and footsteps sounded again outside the corridor.
But this time the footsteps, as if repeating the last cycle, did not sound near the office, but as far as the first time, stepping on the fixed footstep rhythm, not fast, still towards this The only lighted office on the floor approached.
Du Feifei's hair stood up, his face pale with fright, and his eyes were frightened.
Pat! Click!
The footsteps of men are getting closer and closer. When the footsteps approached the office, they suddenly disappeared again.
Soon after, the footsteps repeated for the third time, from the starting point again from far and near, stepping on the footsteps of the fixed rhythm and approaching the office, particularly harsh in the midnight sky.
Like a tape repeatedly playing.
Du Feifei's psychology is about to collapse, and his voice is crying with fear: "Who the are you? No matter who you are, such a joke is not funny at all! Are the people outside the security guards patrolling the building?"
"You are so scary, I really want to call the police to get angry."
Click, click ... The fourth cycle of footsteps outside the corridor seemed to not hear her at all.
Du Feifei's face was getting paler, feeling cold, the air behind her neck was whizzing, and the wind was blowing. She turned around in panic, but there was nothing behind her, only black glass windows.
Slap, slap ... The footsteps are still looping repeatedly, continuously ringing.
Du Feifei shivered and was crying out of fear. When the footsteps repeated a new cycle again, halfway through, Du Feifei could no longer bear the psychological pressure and rushed out of the office in annoyance, trying to catch the mischievous person. Are in front.
The sound of footsteps stopped suddenly.
The corridor is empty and calm, like a claustrophobic space, there is no one at all, only a few fluorescent lamps above the corridor barely serve as lighting.
As if the previous footsteps were just auditory hallucinations.
The temperature in the corridor is very low.
Except from time to time there was a cold wind pouring back from the end of the corridor, the corridor was quiet, there was no other sound.
Du Feifei's face was suddenly bloodless.
Tonight's experience has already exceeded the psychological capacity of normal people, not to mention a girl who works overtime alone late at night. Du Feifei's body is shaking, and the high tension is already on the verge of collapse.
The business building at 8 o'clock in the evening is extremely empty and cold, as if the whole building is being crowded out of the world, and only Dufife's office is still lit on this floor.
Du Feifei was terrified, her hands and feet were all cold, she would never dare to stay here for a second.
Turned around and rushed back to the office, ready to pick up his personal belongings, and fled here immediately.
But just when Du Feifei just turned around! Click, click ... The footsteps came again, still in the same rhythm, coming from the hallway behind Du Feifei, as if close to her, standing behind her.
"what!"
Du Feifei's horrified screams were heard in the corridor, her spirit finally collapsed completely, and she was so scared that she ran away in horror towards the end of another corridor. No matter what mobile phone or personal belongings in the office, the lights did not turn off. Will Tian be punished by the supervisor and deduct wages, and she dare not look back at who the footsteps are behind.
Perhaps it was Du Feifei's scream, which was very harsh in the cold night. Soon, two security guards rushed to find the Du Feifei who was scared.
Finally saw someone, Du Feifei burst into tears with excitement. UU reading book www.uukanshu.com
When Du Feifei calmed down, she remembered the footsteps in the back corridor, but there was no footsteps in the corridor at this time.
Then, the two security guards took Du Feifei, who was nervous behind him, and began to walk to the office, looking for the mischief in Du Feifei's mouth. However, no so-called mischief was found.
The two security guards began to think that the Du Feifei girl was timid. At night, when someone worked overtime and was suspicious, he no longer took it seriously. After taking Du Feifei to pack up her personal belongings and turning off the lights of the office, she was helpless to Du Feifei, who had been scared, and took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, and took a taxi for her.
The eyelashes flicked slightly, and there were still wet tears in the corners of the eyes. Du Feifei turned to look at the city night scene outside the window, trying to wrap his body in the seat of the taxi, trying to find a trace of being wrapped in it. Covered sense of security.
Tonight's unbelievable experience made her cold and trembling.
Duffie ’s residence is a bit remote. It is an old apartment building rented by a person. After graduating from college, she stayed directly in the coastal city of Youshi to work hard.
As soon as Du Feifei returned to the apartment, the first thing was to turn on all the lights in the house. Until this time, the warmth of returning home gave her a sense of safety and stability, Du Feifei poured himself a cup of hot water.
Pop, pop ... Suddenly!
A man's footsteps were heard from the bedroom, step by step, approaching the bedroom door!
The glass in his hand fell to the ground, Du Feifei looked desperately towards the bedroom. She wanted to scream, but her heart seemed to have crushed a big stone, and she couldn't call anything.
Him, right at home!
Why!
Why!
The coldness swallowed Du Feifei's whole body like a tide, his eyes widened in horror.
