Cannon Fodder Battle Chapter 1253: Descendants of the Corpse Man (5)
"Where did you go just now? I couldn't find anyone to find you for dinner." Deng Zecheng asked a little unhappy.
Bian Xiaojun sat next to Ye Wei in the place reserved for him, and said, "I woke up in the morning and saw that the scenery here is beautiful, so I went for a walk, and punched a set by the way."
Tong Xinlan had some doubts about what Bian Xiaojun did just now, but the others didn't seem to doubt his statement.
Li Huan doesn't care much anymore, now she is interested in uncovering the secret of the corpse hunter.
Everyone finished eating, but Bian Xiaojun was still eating. Li Huan pouted and urged him to eat faster, "Why are you eating so slowly? Do you want to prevent Chai Xinlan from revealing the secret of the exorcist? Let's debunk the legend of the mysterious corpse hunter! It's not just once or twice that you lost, and it's okay to lose again, when the time comes, your folklore research club will be merged into our science club!"
Bian Xiaojun was not in the room just now, and when he heard what Li Huan said, he stopped eating.
Bian Xiaojun raised his head from his rice bowl, looked at Tong Xinlan, and asked sadly, "Chai Xinlan, you really haven't told us the truth?"
Look at what you said, it made Chai Xinlan obliged to tell them that they were really similar, they were just strangers at first, besides Chai Xinlan really didn't know.
However, when Bian Xiaojun said this, it would make people feel that Chai Xinlan's manifestations were inconsistent, that what he said was not credible, and that she was still hiding something.
Tong Xinlan didn't wait for Bian Xiaojun to finish his meal, whether it was a trick set up by Bian Xiaojun or the others, Tong Xinlan planned to disgust him once.
Tong Xinlan played with her fingers nervously, and then Bian Xiaojun replied, "As a descendant of the corpse exorcist, but I am a woman. According to the family regulations, I cannot inherit the family business."
"I know that women belong to yin. If you chase away corpses, it is easy to bump into ghosts and bring bad things to happen, right?" The students from the Folklore Research Society at the table next to them said smartly.
"No."
Tong Xinlan shook her head, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Killing corpses is really not as mysterious as the rumors outside, in fact, driving corpses is just carrying corpses."
"Ordinary people don't know how to do this industry. They think it's bad luck. Those who can do this industry are men who are courageous and don't mind not being able to marry a wife. It takes strength to carry a corpse. I'm a girl. The corpse was not moved, and grandpa also felt that our family should change the way of life, so he asked my father to take me to live outside."
"This industry is similar to the work in Yizhuang. It deals with corpses. Most people will say that this industry is cheap. I, I don't want to go back to school and be ridiculed and rejected by everyone. I don't want to say it."
Like a poor child who is afraid of being rejected, Tong Xinlan lowered her head in low self-esteem, and tightened her fingers, "I'm really sorry for causing you to waste a trip, but if I don't say anything, I'm afraid of wasting your time More."
Ye Wei patted Tong Xinlan on the shoulder gently, and said, "Occupation does not distinguish between high and low, and any industry is born as the times require. It is also a great merit to bring home a person who died in a foreign land. Xinlan doesn't care Worried."
For people who study folk culture, this sentence is too open-minded. If this is the truth, the Folklore Research Society will lose again. Ye Wei, as the vice president, her performance should not be Do you believe it, do you think Chai Xinlan is lying?
Having doubts in her heart, Tong Xinlan looked at Ye Wei gratefully, "Thank you sister Ye Wei."
Li Huan is naturally happy that her club has won again, but science is rigorous. She continued to ask, "Then how did your family carry the corpse?"
Chai Xinlan has never seen it, but Tong Xinlan watched the documentary about the exorcist when she was alive. Although there is no evidence for that documentary, Tong Xinlan plans to talk about it in that way.
"It depends on the condition of the corpse."
"If there are few corpses to be chased away, and there is only one corpse, then carry it on your back. If there are three or four corpses, then use two bamboo poles to tie them under the armpits of the corpses, and tie their hands with ropes. On top of the black bamboo, the corpse exorcists carried the bamboo poles one after the other."
Tong Xinlan was interrupted by Bian Xiaojun before she could finish her version of "According to Science".
Bian Xiaojun looked very excited at this time, and he asked questioningly, "I don't quite understand the method you said. You can leave with the bamboo pole tied under your armpit and your hands tied to the bamboo pole? How? Would you like to demonstrate?"
Demo?
If you want to talk about the demonstration, you can really ask people in the room to demonstrate the position and binding method, but Tong Xinlan keeps in mind that this is Bian Xiaojun who is suspected of framing Chai Xinlan.
Moreover, in this era similar to the Republic of China, although some progressives have abandoned superstition and embraced science, 90% of Chinese people are still superstitious.
It's morning now, actually it's a bit bad to discuss these things in the morning, but it's nothing to just talk about it, if Tong Xinlan really let these students cooperate to act as corpses and accompany her to demonstrate how to drive corpses, then it will be true If something goes wrong, people with ulterior motives will definitely say that she cast a curse at this time~IndoMTL.com~Of course, it is also possible that Tong Xinlan is thinking too much.
No matter whether she thinks too much or not, Tong Xinlan will not let her fall into disrepute.
"Okay, everyone doesn't seem to understand it very well, then I will demonstrate it, wait a moment."
Tong Xinlan stood up from the Eight Immortals table, everyone followed her curiously, and saw her walk into the room.
After a while of searching inside, Tong Xinlan came out.
Everyone was disappointed to find that what she held in her hand was not the tool they were expecting to exorcise the corpse.
"Paper and pen?" Someone asked in confusion.
Tong Xinlan nodded shyly, "I don't look good at drawing, but I can draw a general outline of a corpse for everyone, and I should be able to draw it clearly."
Most rich kids are proficient in art, especially in this period, many rich kids from schools have learned sketching, so when seeing the wooden figures painted by Chai Xinlan, everyone can understand why she was so embarrassed just now.
Tong Xinlan drew a row of wooden figures on the paper. The chubby wooden figures will not look as scary as the live demonstration, and Tong Xinlan deliberately draws them in a naive manner to reduce everyone's fear.
The arms of the wooden figures standing sideways were parallel to the ground, and then Tong Xinlan drew a bamboo pole under their armpits, and then drew something representing a rope.
Draw two more people, one behind the other, carrying the bamboo pole, and draw a lantern-carrying man on the side.
"That's how the corpses are chased away, because the limbs of the corpses are stiff, coupled with the toughness of the bamboo poles, everyone has been in a sedan chair, and they know that Jiaozi will shake up and down, and the corpses strung together in a string will be even more flickering. The flash trembled, and when they saw the pedestrians who drove the corpses on the road, they would see the corpse chasers bouncing forward with the corpses. They didn't dare to approach and ask the truth, thinking that the corpse chasers used magic to drive the corpses away, but , there is no spell, just relying on strength to make money."
