Chapter 7 Corpse community

The alarm clock beeped, and I instinctively reached out my hand to stop it, but the back of my hand hit the corner of some hard object hard, and I jumped up with pain in my eyes. "It hurts!" After a closer look, it turned out that there was a pocket LCD TV next to the alarm clock. "Hey, what's going on? Why is this stuff here?" My wife was still sleeping soundly in the bed with her back to me, and her fat buttocks were right in front of my eyes.Hearing my question, she turned around impatiently, as slow as a hippopotamus dancing ballet in (Disney's 1940 musical animation film.).

"What's the matter, it's so noisy." "I ask you what this is!" I couldn't help but raise my voice, when the alarm clock rang has become a rapid "di di di di di".I quickly pressed the switch, and the time display was half past five. "Alarm clock." "No, I'm asking about the one next to me!!" I held the LCD TV under my wife's nose. The wife waved her hand like chasing flies: "Isn't it just a TV?" "I know it's a TV, the question is why is it here? When did you buy it?" "Mail order the other day, not because you didn't agree to put a normal TV in the bedroom."

"I have to get up early every day, and you are watching TV next to me, how can I still fall asleep." "That's why I bought this. This way I can watch TV under the covers. As long as I wear headphones, you can't hear the sound." "But you have to go to bed early and get up early!" "I'm different from you. I can't fall asleep at all when I go to bed at nine or ten o'clock. It's really annoying to lie on the bed and listen to you snoring. Besides, even if I watch TV, I can only watch the TV series at ten o'clock. Alas, I used to watch late-night shows in Tokyo from time to time." She yawned deliberately as she spoke.

When it comes to my time in Tokyo, I have nothing to say.I scratched my nose, looked down at the LCD TV and asked, "How much did this cost?" "It's not too expensive, look at your stinginess." The wife frowned. "Forget it, get up quickly, I'm hungry." "Get up so early, thanks to your appetite." Moaning, she sat up her fat body, opened her mouth and yawned again. At this moment, there was a "wow" sound like a scream from a giant reptile, which happened almost at the same time as my wife yawned. I almost thought it was her screaming.

"What was the sound just now?" "It seems to have come from outside the door." "I gonna go see." I hurriedly put on my clothes and walked out of the bedroom, only to find that my daughter Eri was also in her pajamas in the corridor. "Father, what was that sound just now?" Eili asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes, the hair on the left side curled up from sleep. "Go back to your room." I went downstairs through the hallway and out the door, only to see a woman in an apron slumped across the doorpost.It's the housewife at the opposite door.

"Yo, it's Mrs. Yamashita, what's the matter with you?" I greeted and walked over. Mrs. Yamashita turned her head towards me stiffly.Her eyes were wide open, her nose was running, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. "...what happened?" Realizing the seriousness of the situation, I continued walking towards him and found someone lying down a few meters away from her.The man was wearing a gray suit, he should be a man, lying on his back, his swollen beer belly was stained reddish brown.Something stuck in his belly, it looked like a cross on a hill.I realized right away that it was a knife.

"Ah!" I yelled helplessly and stepped back. At this time Huili ran out: "Dad, what are you doing?" "Don't go there!" I picked her up and blocked her sight. "What's the matter?" My wife also came out with her slippers on.She had a cardigan over her pajamas and a curling iron stuck to her bangs. "Oh, isn't this the wife across the door? Why are you sitting in such a place? What happened?" "Ah, don't run outside!" My wife turned a deaf ear to my words and walked out the door.Not long after she found the body, she trembled violently and stood still.But she didn't let out a scream, and then she leaned over tremblingly and looked at it carefully.

"Is this person dead?" The wife asked with a look of horror. "That's right," I said, "Come back soon." "Hmm..." The wife bent down and looked at the face of the deceased, "This is the first time I've seen a corpse." "Ah, I want to see it too!" "Hey!" Huili broke free from my arms and ran to the road, hid behind her mother and peeked at the dead body, then innocently shouted: "Wow, it's so scary!" Xuan picked up the stick that fell on the ground and poked the dead body's side. "Eili, it's dirty, don't touch it!" My wife stopped her.

"Hey, good morning everyone." Endo next door stepped out of the house in a suit and leather shoes.In our neighborhood, he is the first one out of the door to work almost every day.Just as he was about to get on his bicycle, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a corpse lying on the side of the road. He immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground with both the person and the bicycle. "Wow wow wow wow wow wow!" Endo sat down on the ground, pointing at the corpse, "What, what, what is that?" His glasses were crooked. "Good morning!" The housewife diagonally across came out with a smile, and after a few seconds, she screamed and stood still, unable to move.

Other residents also showed up one after another. "What are you all doing here? Hey!" "What happened? Yah!" "What's wrong? What's wrong? Let me see... Wow!" There were screams and exclamations one after another, and a circle of people surrounded the corpse in a blink of an eye.Strange to say, as the number of people increased, people seemed to be able to calmly face the corpses in front of them.Those people whose legs were weak from fright at first gradually gained the upper hand with the mentality of watching the excitement, and even kept moving forward in order to see more clearly.

"Well, what's going on here?" Shimada, the president of the town council, looked at the dead body and said, "Why is there a dead body here?" "It looks like he killed me." I said tentatively, and everyone nodded unanimously. "Who is this person?" the wife asked casually. "I don't know." Chairman Shimada said, "Probably a salesman or something. Does anyone recognize him?" No one answered, they just shook their heads.I haven't seen this person either. "Troublesome." Chairman Shimada scratched his cheek and murmured to himself, "Then the only option is to call the police?" His tone seemed to be asking for everyone's opinions, and several people nodded. "Do you have to call the police..." Someone interjected in a low voice, it was Endo who fell to the ground just now. President Shimada looked at him. "What do you mean?" "Uh... I know I shouldn't have such thoughts, but when I think about the current situation, I can't help but..." Endo stammered. "What do you want to say? Just say it if you have something to say!" President Shimada urged anxiously, and we were also very impatient to hear it. Endo coughed dryly. "I mean, if you call the police, there's going to be an uproar, right?" "Of course, it's a murder case after all." "The newspapers should also report it, and maybe it will be on the TV news." "Almost, what's the problem?" "Then what will the general public think of our community? I'm afraid it's a place where murders have happened. It's terrible, right? In other words, the image of the community will deteriorate." Someone around suddenly whispered, and I also understood the meaning of Endo's words. "Husband, if that happens," said the wife next to me, "our house will fall again!" I hissed and signaled her to shut up quickly, and she also hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand. Everyone's eyes were on her, but no one showed an expression that she thought her words were irrelevant. Instead, because they found someone with the same opinion as me, There was an air of reassurance in the crowd. "She's right." Endo glanced at my wife, then at President Shimada, "I'm just worried about this." "Hmm..." Chairman Shimada crossed his arms, "Is there such a worry..." "No, I don't want the house price to drop any further!" The wife at the opposite door cried out sadly, "It has already shrunk by 10 million yuan now, and the house on the east side is bigger than my house, but I saw it a while ago. The house sale advertisement is two million cheaper than when we bought it!" "That house, I heard that when someone actually comes to see the house, you can get another one million discount." Someone from behind said. "What? How did this happen!" Mrs. Yamashita whimpered immediately, and her husband handed over the handkerchief with an embarrassed expression: "Don't cry." Everyone expresses their feelings in different ways, not necessarily so directly, but everyone present should have sympathy with Mrs. Yamashita.We all had the same dream to make our home in this place far away from the center of Tokyo, and we also saw the dream shattered every day. "Chairman Shimada, what do you think should be done?" Endo said again, "If the housing price falls again, it will have a serious adverse impact on everyone's future. You should be very clear about this. You don't want to Will your house depreciate further?" President Shimada was slightly displeased when Endo spoke out his mind.But if you think about it carefully, maybe he is the person who is most dissatisfied with the status quo.He served as the president of the township association because he was the first to buy a house in this community.And he did not hesitate to spend three hours commuting to and from get off work every day, and he was the first to buy a house in this area, naturally not because of "beautiful scenery", "let the children live in an environment with a yard" or "away from the hustle and bustle of the city" The reason is that "the house will appreciate in value soon, and then sell it, and then buy a detached house in a place with convenient transportation." "But you have to call the police, right?" Shimada replied with a sad face, "The corpse can't be left alone like this." No one could answer, and everyone was silent. "It's not good where to die, why did you die here!" After a while, Mrs. Endo stared at the corpse and said bitterly. "You should say this to the murderer, what's the use of complaining to the dead ghost." Shan Xia said angrily. Everyone vented their dissatisfaction in unison. "Just bury it casually." The idea of ​​playing with fire has even been suggested. "Bury him? That's not good, if someone digs it out..." These discussions can no longer tell whether they are joking or serious. I also lost myself, and without thinking about it, I blurted out a suggestion: "It's better to throw it in Heiqiu Town, hehehe." "what?" The expressions of the people who had been complaining all the time froze, and Qi Qi looked at me. "What did you just say?" President Shimada asked. "It's nothing, uh, I was joking, hahaha! Just kidding, don't take it seriously." I quickly smiled and kept shaking my hands. "Well," Endo nodded in agreement with a serious face, "So there is such a thing, why didn't I think of it. Throwing it in Heiqiu Town... Well, it's a good idea." "Hey, Endo, I'm just kidding." "No, this is indeed a clever plan." Chairman Shimada said, "It doesn't take a lot of effort to deal with it this way. Even if the police make a fuss, the image of our community will not be damaged." "And this way," my wife added, "it's Black Hills that's going to lose its image." Several neighbors seemed to have the same age, and nodded slightly upon hearing this.Heiqiu Town is a few kilometers away from here. It is said that because of the plan to build a railway, house prices are rising.Residents in our community were dissatisfied when they heard the news. The housing prices in Heiqiu Town were lower than ours. "I have a colleague who lives in Heiqiu Town," Yamashita said sullenly, "he's been very happy these days, and he strikes up a conversation with me whenever he has something to do, and wants to know how much I paid for the house. A few days ago He even deliberately opened the house sales flyer, saying that although the housing price in Heiqiu has not soared, it is better than depreciation, and this is clearly for me." As soon as this remark came out, all the housewives glared, while the men trembled with anger. "Since they are not benevolent, don't blame us for being unrighteous. Chairman Shimada, please decide!" Endo urged in the tone of a costume drama.President Shimada pondered for a moment, then raised his head. "Okay, let's vote democratically, and the minority must obey the majority. Those who are in favor of throwing the corpse on Black Hill, please raise your hand." There are ten households in our community, and all the household heads and wives raised their hands in favor without hesitation. That night, I, Chairman Shimada, Endo, and Yamashita carried the body into the trunk of the car and drove off.Endo and Yamashita were chosen by lot, but it makes no sense to drag me by force.According to them, it was because I was the one who proposed throwing the corpse at Heiqiu in the first place. I repeatedly explained that it was just a joke, but they just didn't listen. "I'm not the same. It doesn't make sense that I have to take on this task just because I'm the president of the town council." President Shimada said as he turned the steering wheel of the old Crown car, "And I have to use the car for this kind of use. , It's disgusting to think about it, and the trunk will never be used again in the future." "Forget it, it's for our community too." Yamashita reassured. The crown wagon carried the four of us and a dead body, bouncing along a road that was only slightly better than a field road.Looking around, there are farmlands that have just been planted all around. "It was originally said that a primary school would be built in this area, but what happened afterwards?" Endo suddenly sighed. "No. There is also the railway, which should have passed by our community." Yamashita said, "Then a commercial street will be built in front of the station." "I heard that the government office will be built soon." President Shimada sighed, "In the end, the developer's bragging is unbelievable!" "According to the real estate company's explanation, it just said that the plan to establish an office was under study, and there was no guarantee. But we, the owners, inevitably feel cheated." Endo said. "I discussed it with my friend." I also joined the topic, "He said that if it is a certain area that will be developed, it is impossible to buy a single-family house so cheap." "That's right—" President Shimada held the steering wheel and leaned back in the chair, as if he wanted to say, "It's too straightforward." "In the end, it's all because of housing prices in the capital area (referring to Tokyo as the center, including Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Ibaraki, Gunma, Yamanashi, and Tochigi.) House prices It’s outrageous.” Probably wanting to avoid the troublesome topic, Yamashita pointed out the root of the problem instead, “Ordinary people can’t afford a small single-family house after struggling for a lifetime. This situation is absolutely abnormal. The housing price has dropped a bit, but the original price was too high, even if it dropped a little bit, it is still unaffordable.” "On the other hand, there are also people who have become upstarts by relying on the land left by their parents." Endo said disdainfully, "The inheritance tax should be levied heavily on such people, and the land will be confiscated if they can't pay!" "That's right, in the end all the land will be owned by the state, and then the state will lease it out to the common people, so that the gap between the rich and the poor will be narrowed." President Shimada emphasized. "Land is owned by the public, and the idea of ​​making money by speculating on land should not be in itself." "That's it!" "That's right!" In fact, we also bought the current house for investment, but now we pretend to forget about it and criticize it impassionedly. "Oh, I can see the black hill." Chairman Shimada stepped on the brake. Among the endless fields, there is an area lined with dozens of houses of the same layout.It's hard to see clearly in the dark, but the area of ​​each building is about the same as that of our community. "Wow, this place is really remote, there is nothing around." The voice under the mountain gloated, "It seems that there is no bus stop, and it takes ten minutes to drive to the nearest tram stop, right?" "No, it shouldn't be ten minutes. It will probably take fifteen minutes." Chairman Shimada said with confidence. We slowed down and drove slowly into Heiqiu Town.It was late at night, there were very few residents here, there was no one on the road, and the lights were almost all turned off. "Try to find a conspicuous place to throw it away," Endo said, "so that it can be discovered early." As a result of our discussion, we decided to throw the body in front of the largest house.The presence of a Mercedes in the family's parking lot further annoyed us. We dragged the blanket-wrapped corpse from the trunk of President Shimada's Crown car and threw it on the side of the road.Miraculously, by this time, most of my fear of corpses had disappeared. "Okay, retreat quickly!" The president gave an order, and we returned to the car one after another. The next morning—actually, it was around 5:30, I told my wife about the successful dumping of the body, and she replied, "Thanks for your hard work." I haven't heard this sentence for a long time. "The image of Heiqiu Town is going to plummet now!" My wife is usually sleepy at this time, but today she couldn't hide her excitement. But when she saw the flyer in the morning newspaper, her face quickly turned from sunny to cloudy. "Husband, the house price has dropped again!" She showed me, needless to say, the house sale advertisement in our community. "Look, the house on the east side mentioned yesterday has dropped another two million yuan compared to two weeks ago!" "Really." I gnawed on the toast and glanced at it. "Ah, I'm so annoying, can't you think of a way? Like a high-end apartment, if the house price is lowered later, can't the owner who bought it before ask for a refund of the difference?" "Well, but there must have been a lot of wrangling, because even though the price has been reduced, none of them have been sold yet." "What? Is there no one in our community?" "...I'm going to work." Before she lost her temper, I hurried away. Three hours later, I arrived at the headquarters of an office supplies manufacturer in Toranomon.Oddly enough, since I started working remotely, I haven't been late once. After I was seated, I was about to get up and go to the vending machine to buy a can of coffee when I overheard my colleagues in the next department chatting. "The section chief seems to be on leave today." "Hey, it's rare, do you have a cold?" "I heard there was a problem with the car." "Are you asking for leave just for this?" "You don't know, for the section chief, a broken car is fatal. He lives in a place called 'Heiqiu Town', and he can't even go to the tram station without a car." "Wow, that was too hard." I snickered and left my seat.Unexpectedly, the section chief next door lived in Heiqiu. The so-called car breakdown and so on must be just a cover. In all likelihood, he didn't come to work because he found the corpse in a mess.I can't help but look forward to the evening news. However, there was no report of the discovery of the body in Heiqiu Town that night. "Strange, what's going on?" Lying on the bed, I kept changing channels on the LCD TV my wife bought, while tilting my head in thought, "It's obviously a murder case, so it's impossible not to report it!" "Maybe the police announced the news late, and it will be published in tomorrow's morning paper." "possible." I turn off the TV.Tomorrow is Saturday, so I don't have to go to work, but I have become a habit of going to bed early, and it didn't take long for me to feel sleepy. A violent shaking woke me up.Opening his eyes, his wife's face was close at hand, and her expression changed drastically. "Oops! Oops! Husband, something is wrong!" "What's wrong?" "The corpse...the corpse...the corpse appeared outside the door again!" "What?" I jumped out of bed immediately. Walking out of the entrance, there was a circle of people in front of the door like the day before yesterday, Chairman Shimada, Endo and others were also there. "Morning." Seeing me coming out, Endo greeted me, and the others also greeted me.After responding one by one, I asked, "I heard that there are corpses emerging again?" "Yeah, look this way." Looking in the direction of the frowning Endo's finger, I couldn't help but let out an exclamation and backed away in fright.A corpse was lying on the ground, its skin had turned earthy gray, its face was out of shape, and its impressive beer belly had shrunk a bit, but judging from its clothes, it was undoubtedly our corpse that was still in Heiqiu Town at night. "Why are you back again?" "We are discussing this issue," Chairman Shimada stroked his thinning hair, "I am afraid that the residents of Heiqiu transported it here." "Heiqiu town..." "They also had the same idea. They were worried that the discovery of the body would damage the image of the community, so they threw it at us." Yamashita explained. "It's despicable!" Mrs. Yamashita said angrily. "Speaking of which, we were the first to use this move." Chairman Shimada smiled wryly. "Not necessarily, it's hard to say." Endo said, "Is there any evidence to prove that this person died here? Maybe they threw it over from the beginning." "exactly!" "That's it!" "People from Heiqiu must be able to do such a thing!" In fact, we did the same thing, and we have no right to blame others, but everyone turned a blind eye to this logical contradiction and cursed the residents of Heiqiu. "Then, what should we do?" I asked President Shimada. "What else can I do? In this situation, we can't call the police, right?" "Then throw it in Heiqiu Town." Someone suggested from behind the crowd. "That's a good idea!" "Fight with them!" No objection. "Then hide the corpse first, and act only after dark." Chairman Shimada suggested to everyone. "Just do it!" "It's better to hide in that house this time." "That house" refers to a model house in the community. The door is locked, but the warehouse is open, and the body was hidden there until night the day before yesterday. Someone brought a ladder and we carried the body onto the ladder and lifted it up as a stretcher.Yamashita was in the front, President Shimada was behind, and the others crowded around and moved forward one after another. "It seems a bit smelly." Endo sniffled. "Oh, is it starting to rot?" After my wife finished speaking, she boldly went to the face of the corpse and sniffed it. "Sure enough, the weather is too hot recently." She frowned, and fanned her nose with her hand. "Speaking of which, the fresh food at my house went bad yesterday." Mrs. Endo said, "It was just taken out of the refrigerator for a while." "Your family too? My family is the same." Mrs. Yamashita said. "It's hot as hell." "Kitchen waste also stinks very quickly." "What a headache." With the dead body in front of my eyes, the housewives can still gossip about their daily life without care.Even though I'm used to it quite a bit, it's still with all my might that I suppress the urge to vomit. After putting the corpse in the warehouse, Chairman Shimada closed the door. "Then, see you tonight." "Thanks for your hard work." "Thanks for your hard work." The atmosphere was as if the community's sewers had just been cleaned, and we said goodbye to each other and dispersed. "Excuse me." Just as I was about to step into the house, someone behind me stopped me.Looking back, there were two men standing beside the gate, one tall and one short. "What's the matter?" I turned to face them. "We are the police." The little man showed his ID card, "Can you please cooperate with the investigation? It won't take you much time." Hearing the word "police", the neighbors who were about to go home gathered around one after another. The two policemen seemed a little confused when they saw this. "May I ask what happened?" I asked. "Uh... the person in the photo, I wonder if you have seen him in this area?" The little policeman took out a photo, which was of the dead man.But I didn't say a word, just replied "I haven't seen it", and randomly handed the photo to my wife.The wife also said coldly, "I don't know." "Let me take a look." Chairman Shimada took the photo and frowned seriously, "Well, I haven't seen this person nearby." Others also passed on the photos, and everyone categorically said they didn't recognize them. "What happened to this man?" I asked the little policeman. "He is a key player in a major case," the police said, putting away the photos. "There are signs that someone is trying to kill him. He disappeared a few days ago." "Yo, that's not good!" Endo pretended to be shocked, "But why did you two come to our community?" "We found his car a few kilometers to the north, and we looked for clues along the way, and we ended up here." "A car... But according to this," President Shimada said, "Isn't Heiqiu Town closer? Have you investigated there?" "I've been there." The little policeman nodded and said. "There is also a report that you haven't seen this person?" "No, someone testified to have seen him." "Oh?" President Shimada's eyes widened, "So, what happened there?" "No," the policeman licked his lips and continued, "According to the witness's description, the person in the photo came to you later. It is said that he asked someone to go to Baijintai (Japanese "platinum" and "corpse" have similar pronunciations) , The title of the novel comes from this.) How should the community go.” "what……" "When did that happen?" I asked. "The day before yesterday." "The day before yesterday?" impossible.Early in the morning the day before yesterday, he had become a dead body! "Excuse me..." The policeman scratched his head and glanced at everyone, "Residents in your community..." "It's all here." "Oh, if you think of any clues, please contact us." After handing the note with contact information to President Shimada, the two policemen left in a car. "Those bastards in Kurogaoka, how dare they talk nonsense!" Endo couldn't help but said when the police car was out of sight. "It was really dangerous just now! If the police came to the door before the body was hidden, then the gods would have nothing to do." After Yamashita finished speaking, we all nodded in agreement. "The matter has come to this, the body must be disposed of no matter what. Before the police conduct a comprehensive investigation, throw it to Heiqiu as soon as possible. You must not admit defeat." Chairman Shimada came to a conclusion, and we agreed in unison like thunder. At two o'clock in the morning, we assembled in front of the crown car.Those who participated in the operation were still the group of people from the day before yesterday.Someone proposed to change the staff, but considering the familiarity of the trip, it remained the same.As compensation, we are exempted from community service for the next year. President Shimada pushed open the door of the warehouse and searched inside with a flashlight.The stench came out, and the middle-aged man wanted to vomit. It seemed that the corpse was decomposing more and more.It was hard to see clearly in the dark, but liquid seemed to seep from the surface of the corpse's skin, wetting the clothes and the floor of the warehouse. "Come on, let's move it." After Chairman Shimada finished speaking, we nodded and dragged the corpse out of the warehouse.The originally fat corpse had loose and drooping facial muscles, the outline of the skull clearly emerged, cloudy eyeballs could be vaguely seen between the collapsed eyelids, the lips retracted upwards, revealing the yellow teeth, and the molars were inlaid with golden braces. "Wrap him with this." Chairman Shimada spread plastic film in the yard. Just as he was about to move the corpse up, Shanxia suddenly stumbled. "what!" Losing his balance, he instinctively stretched out his hand to support it, which happened to be on the stomach of the corpse.The beer belly swelled a lot more than when I saw it this morning, and it suddenly shrank under the pressure of the mountain, shrinking like a deflated beach ball. At the same time, gas spewed out from the mouth of the corpse, presumably the body was already full of decaying gas.We were squatting next to the corpse and preparing to carry it, and this time we protected the baptism of the stench head-on. "what!" "vomit!" Accompanied by the sound of not knowing whether to call it a scream or a sickness, everyone vomited.After a while, only the sound of wheezing and wheezing was heard. "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yamashita apologized. "It's nothing, you didn't do it on purpose, it's better than leaking gas when you get in the car." Chairman Shimada said. "It stinks." "It's not worthwhile to be exempted from one year of community service, hahaha." After regaining our spirits, we carried the body into the trunk of the car and drove to Heiqiu Town as the day before yesterday.Everyone is quiet tonight. When we arrived at Heiqiu, we hurriedly stopped the car and opened the trunk.The place where the body was dumped is also the same place. The plastic film was peeled off in the trunk, and the body was then dragged out.Disgusted, I grabbed the corpse by the wrist.Unexpectedly, the corpse decomposed faster than expected. Just as it felt slippery, the wrist he was grasping was completely separated from the sleeve, and the rotten muscles drooped from the front of the wrist. "Woo..." I exclaimed, my stomach was overwhelmed, and I had to grit my teeth and endure it desperately. "That won't work, let's drag out the plastic film together." According to Chairman Shimada's proposal, we first threw the body and the film on the side of the road, and then took out the film.The corpse rolled down to the ground. Except for the wrist, other parts seemed to be separated from the body. We could only avoid our eyes as much as possible.After cleaning up the film and confirming that everyone got into the car, President Shimada immediately slammed on the gas pedal, wanting to smash the bottom of the car. The next day was Sunday, and it was still very hot in the morning.I came out to pick up the newspaper in a dazed state, and just happened to meet Shanxia who was at the opposite door.We both smiled wryly at the same time. "Did you fall asleep last night?" he asked. "No." I shook my head.He didn't look surprised at all. After I got home last night, I took a shower and fell on the bed. Then the stench and the touch of the dead body were still lingering in my mind, so I couldn't sleep all night, and I kept tossing and turning in bed.The stench still lingers in my nostrils to this day. "It seems to be very hot today." Yamashita looked at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it will be even more..." He was vague about what he said next, but I understood exactly what he was trying to say.He was referring to the matter of corpses decomposing. "Fortunately, it has nothing to do with us." I said.Yamashita smiled slightly, obviously expressing "I hope so". There was still no news of the body being found in Heiqiu Town that night.I had an inexplicable sense of foreboding, and I was tossing and turning just like last night.The wife next to him was snoring loudly. I got up and wanted to drink some whiskey, and suddenly I heard the sound of parking in front of my house, and there were faint voices.The car drove away quickly, but I was still very concerned. I came out of the door in my pajamas to have a look, and my legs almost went limp on the spot. The corpse that was just discarded last night was lying in front of the door again. Not only was it rotten in a mess, but it also seemed to have been treated roughly. Both arms were tattered, and the wrist that I had severed was also thrown aside. "It's not good! It's not good! It's not good!" I yelled and ran to knock on the neighbor's door.Chairman Shimada, Endo, and Yamashita all appeared immediately, and they all must have been unable to fall asleep like me. Knowing the reason, everyone was furious. "It must be the ghosts of those people from Heiqiu, they are too stalking!" "Absolutely not to be forgiven lightly!" We have unanimously decided to return the body now.This time, I, Chairman Shimada and others will go. Originally, I imagined that I could get into the car in twos and threes like last night, but it took a lot of effort to either break my wrist or make my neck wobble.At first I was fighting back the nausea, but after sweating for a while, I became less and less aware that we were moving human corpses, and I began to feel that it didn't matter. Together with Endo and Yamashita, the four of us drove to Heiqiu as before.When we arrived, we found that it was late at night, but there were people standing on the road in twos and threes. One of the middle-aged men saw us and hurriedly took out something—it was a walkie-talkie. "It's not good, they sent someone to watch!" President Shimada said bitterly. Chairman Shimada immediately turned the steering wheel and turned around, trying to find a place where no one was watching.Eventually we pulled into a vacant lot that was under construction and it was empty. "Throw away the corpse quickly, quickly! Quickly!" Without his urging, we quickly dragged the body out of the trunk.The corpse's ankles and ears had fallen off, but we had no time to attend to them. After throwing away the body, we jumped back into the car and fled the scene, but we were spotted by a lookout on the way.It was apparently only a matter of time before the body was found. After returning to the community, we immediately called the neighbors and decided to send someone to stand on guard. At least one person should stand at the corner of all roads.There is not enough manpower, even my family Huili has to go to battle. Just a few minutes after the arrangement was completed, the sound of a car engine came from a distance.I put on a posture and waited.If they want to throw the corpse, we will stop it no matter what! From the corner of the house at the end of the neighborhood came a four-wheel-drive truck with men standing in the bed. The truck made no intention of stopping, and drove past us aggressively.At the moment of staggering, an object was thrown from the truck body, and with the ear-piercing sound of "clicking", it was the dead body that fell to the ground. He fell, and his eyeballs fell out. "Hey, stop!" By the time I roared, it was over, and those people had already left. We immediately gathered together to discuss. "It's so deceitful to throw corpses in front of us!" Chairman Shimada was furious. !" We didn't have a truck, so in desperation we had to use a convertible.The owner of the car was a newlywed couple who just moved in. The young lady cried and protested, but we all persuaded her that this was to protect our community. Moving the now-disfigured body into the back of the convertible, we headed straight for Black Hills. As expected, the residents of Black Hills were already prepared.A whole row of cars was parked at the entrance of the residential area, trying to prevent us from breaking in. "What should I do?" I asked President Shimada. "Of course it's a forced breakthrough!" President Shimada drove into the narrow gap between the row of cars and successfully broke into Heiqiu Town.But the opponent's defense was not so simple. As soon as we entered, the housewives and children who were ambushing on the side of the road appeared one after another and made a concerted effort to throw stones at us.Of course we were determined to die, and we threw the body out of the car with all our strength, arms, wrists, fingers, feet, ears and eyes all flew out.The scalp of the corpse was slippery and peeling off like a wig, and it was covering the face of a housewife, who passed out on the spot. "Okay, run away!" President Shimada slammed the steering wheel, the convertible car turned 180 degrees sharply, and the tires screamed strangely. Not long after returning, there was another sound of engines coming from far and near, and it seemed that more than one came.We were thinking about defensive measures, and we couldn't help being speechless at the sight of a train of headlights approaching like a snake.The guys from Heiqiu dispatched a motorcycle team this time. There are various types of motorcycles, ranging from 750cc large-displacement motorcycles to mopeds for shopping. The riders each hold some body parts and gallop across the road in our platinum community, scattering the body parts all over the place. yes.有一家的晾衣杆上同时挂着长筒袜和人腿，还有一家的信箱里飞进一片舌头。 至此我们的愤怒达到了极限。 “开战吧！” “打倒那帮混账！” 我们有车的开车。有摩托车的骑摩托车，有自行车的骑自行车，什么都没有的就徒步出发，浩浩荡荡杀向黑丘镇。不用说，每个人手中都拿着那个胖男人的尸块。但黑丘镇的居民也不是好惹的，我们一进攻，他们马上组织更强大的队伍回击，于是我们也奋起迎战。这场战争持续了好几天，直到尸体化为白骨仍未止歇。 电视台的女记者语气欢快地说道： “各位观众朋友，我现在就站在白黑球场。这里正在举行一年一度的白金镇对黑丘镇足球大赛，但和一般的足球或橄榄球比赛不同，比赛规则非常简单，只要把球放到对手阵地就算赢。最特别的是，比赛没有人数限制，因此双方的居民几乎全部参赛。这项足球大赛源于过两村之间互相抢球的庆典活动，堪称有着悠久历史传承的赛事。据记者了解，这项传统活动已持续数十年，促进了两镇居民的友好关系，是一项很有意义的赛事。还有个有趣的地方是：这项比赛中使用的球称为'窟娄'。为什么这样称呼，缘由似乎已不太清楚。听到'窟娄，我不禁联想到“骷髅”，但二者应该没什么关系吧。以上是记者从现场发回的报道。
