The Corpse Bride (2)

reign to me, I know nothing about it, and he probably understands even less. Even if I search the internet for tons of information, it won't be able to ease the anxiety I feel.What are my peers thinki...The old woman walked to the wall and turned on the light.

The lights, like a command, stopped the movement of the ghouls both inside and outside the house.

"Who are you" Her face, creased with age, contorted into a frigid expression.

“We are not malicious, nor are we righteous people. Lao Lin warned us to be careful of the corpse cultivators before, and then he said he was going to hide, so we could only come here to look for clues. Unexpectedly, Lao Lin turned out to be a corpse cultivator…”

I carefully watched the old woman.

She stared at me, her gaze sweeping from head to toe, finally settling on my stomach.

"You're not an ordinary person... You just destroyed my walking corpse... Why didn't you make a move" She asked sternly.

"I didn't mean to destroy your zombies—only to harm none of us." I secretly pressed my hand on my stomach. Were those two little ancestors asleep They hadn't reacted at all just now. Could it be they found these zombies unremarkable

These two little ancestors are particularly sensitive to evil spirits. Once the sinister energy engulfs the sky and earth, I feel like there are two balls of fire in my stomach, eager to burst out.

——His eyes lit up just like when my brother heard about five million.

But when faced with zombies, these two little ancestors weren't very interested.

Could it be that because the corpses are full of corpse rot and not much negative energy, the two of them are too lazy to move

The old woman asked warily, “Are you looking for my son”

"Yes, but we could find you anyway. The main thing is that Old Lin didn't explain a lot to us before he left..." My brother started using honorifics.

The old woman's expression softened slightly, and she muttered softly: "… Thirty-three days outside the sky, nine heavens outside the clouds have immortals... hmmm... I didn't expect it to be relatives who came."

"Yes, yes, yes, we're in-laws!" My brother hurried over and asked, "Which generation are you from our family How should we address you"

She waved her hand: "Clean up, and come sit down and talk."

Packing How to pack

The female corpse couldn't get up, and the old woman didn't have the strength to move it. My brother had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry the corpse downstairs and put it on the wooden sofa.

"Ugh... this feels like touching thawed pork..." My brother looked at his hands in disgust: "Old Lin's wife wasn't wearing any clothes, I touched her like that... does that count as putting a green hat on him Damn it... This was approved by his mother, don't blame me for this..."

I took out a wet wipe and let him wipe his hands. He scrubbed them several times vigorously.

The old woman straightened the deceased woman's hip bone and ordered, "Little Jiao’er, pour some water…"

The female corpse moved strangely and obeyed orders. In a short while, she brought us two glasses of cold water.

We stood there frozen, a corpse greeting us! Shouldn't we at least say thank you!

My brother snatched the water cup from my hand and put it on the coffee table. He said with lingering fear, "Grandma, let's get down to business. No need for formalities... To be honest, we wouldn't dare touch anything in your house."

I sat beside my brother, nervously clutching his clothes. The corpse stood politely by our side. It would be even better if her eyes weren't rolling white...

"What's on your mind" the old woman asked lazily, leaning back in her armchair.

My brother pointed to the female corpse beside him: "Could you ask your daughter-in-law to step aside for a bit Having her here, completely naked and rolling her eyes while serving us, is just too much stimulation, even for heaven and earth."

The old woman cackled, “Boy, do you want one I have another ‘daughter’ in my cellar, quite beautiful… Corpse brides have their perks. They’re obedient and well-behaved, won’t get in the way of you marrying and having children… Plus, they don’t need to eat grains or anything, just absorb life force and blood essence…”

Originally, the fruits, vegetables, and chicken heads in front of the can served this purpose.

"So the body of a corpse is clean inside and out, usable front and back. It's tighter than a living person's, and there's no worry about pregnancy. The only thing is, it won't produce any fluids during sex, so you'll need to be patient…"

"Look at my son, ever since he got that little wife, he hasn't touched a woman in over twenty years! I don't know when he'll give me some grandchildren. Oh well... can't control him, can't control him..."

I was blushing so hard, this old woman knows a lot!

"Both 'front' and 'back' can be used! Also, anything tight, anything that comes out of the water..."

Lots of poses!

My brother, who rarely loses interest in dirty jokes, actually turned pale!

"Why don't you find a proper wife for your son"

The old woman shook her head and said, “My grandson is a hereditary corpse-bearer, he must be tainted with corpse qi to remain safe… you too, if you are contaminated with corpse qi, then you won't be afraid of the attacks of zombies. My little 'daughter' in the cellar hasn't got an owner yet."

My brother broke into a cold sweat: “No no no… I like living people, unlike your son who has been exposed to this from a young age and can’t accept it, can’t accept it…”

The old woman snorted coldly: "What's so unacceptable Are the Mu family afraid of death What could that cold-hearted old man, Mu Yike, be afraid of!"

Uh She directly called me by my grandfather's name Her seniority isn't that high, right

The old woman squinted at the copper amulet on my brother's chest: "...Which generation are you from This copper amulet is unique, passed down only to the eldest son and grandson."

"Four," my brother gestured, tucking the bronze talisman back into his clothes.

"Four So you're Mu Yunfan then And this girl is Mu Xia Qiao, right..." She peered at me, and I quickly ducked behind my brother's back.

The old woman sighed and said, "He's very kind to all of you descendants... To us, hmph, for how many years has he been uninterested It's only in recent years that he's thought about sending some money every year."

"There seems to be a story here," I whispered, "Grandpa treated his descendants so well... What are you to Grandpa"

The old woman smiled wickedly, "I am his concubine's daughter..."

A spare room!

I was stunned. I grew up in the Mu family mansion until I was sixteen, and I never knew that Grandpa had a private wing!

When my grandfather was born, it was still a chaotic time. There were Japanese invaders, warlords, and bandits everywhere. It was common for men to have multiple wives, so it wasn't unusual at all.

But I have only known to address the great-grandmother from a young age, never heard of second great-grandmother, third great-grandmother, fourth great-grandmother...

She continued, “He used to be known as Mu Lao Liu. Even bandits feared him until he knelt and kowtowed to that woman in order to marry her. He eventually brought her home, half-kidnapped, half-won. That woman was also capable, she tamed him like a lamb and gave him a new name, Yi Ke (pronounced the same as 'kowtow'…) To please her, he sent his previous wife and children back to their hometown and only occasionally sent them money and gifts.”

The old woman snorted coldly: "Men, saying they are fickle and heartless... that's all because they haven't met their destined love… When they meet that destiny, there will always be a woman who can make him live and die for her! It's a pity that many women foolishly think they can end this man's fickleness and heartlessness... Even when abandoned, they can only accept their fate, like my mother."

We're a bit awkward, this is something from our grandparents' generation. It wouldn't be appropriate for us younger ones to comment on it, would it

Besides, we are all descendants of our great-grandmother. Naturally, we should help our own great-grandmother.

"That's old news... just let it go... What we want to ask you is, do you know anything about the corpse-refiners We've recently been targeted by them—"

``` ``` already bolted out there—that dark figure over there, climbing on the rocks with both hands. Such a good opportunity, my brother rushed up and swung a stick at the figure’s waist."Ouch, damn it!" my...
