Chapter 386: Starvation or Poisoning?
After a little preparation, they left the broken house. Along the way, Zhang Tieniu's eyes at Hu Mo did not change much, and Hu Mo wanted to jump out of the car immediately and disappear quickly.
They soon came to the suburbs, where corpses are most likely to appear, and many new corpses are updated every day.
Sure enough, the corpse was just collected a few days ago, and now there are many more lying here, and those corpses made Hu Mo feel a little disappointed.
A hint of excitement flashed in Zhang Tieniu's eyes, and then he showed a compassionate attitude, sighing: "Oh, there are so many children. If you continue to die like this, this Tianshui County will probably be over."
Zhang Tieniu said as he moved the corpses to the cart. These corpses were his capital for survival, so he naturally cared very much. Hu Mo also helped him carry the corpses with his usual expressions, occasionally carrying some corpses. He suddenly found that the corpses did not die of starvation or disease. His skin was dark and foaming at the mouth was obviously dead from poisoning.
"What's going on? Is there any hidden truth in this?" Hu Mo said to himself.
A third memory of himself appeared in Hu Mo's mind. From his memory, Hu Mo learned some things. Although the children had no relatives and had problems with food and clothing, occasionally some wealthy families would take out some rice porridge to help them. If they were to starve to death, they would not have starved to death.
According to his memory, Hu Mo also discovered a strange thing. People in Tianshui County once died of misfortune overnight. Most of those people were children, and the cause of death has remained a mystery.
Hu Mo dragged the body of a black child, and as he dragged it, a shell suddenly spit out of his mouth. Hu Mo quickly picked up the shell and could tell at a glance that it was the shell of a sea crab.
"What's going on? This is land, how can there be sea crabs? Could it be that this is obtained from the ocean a hundred miles away?" Hu Mo thought to himself. If the sea crabs are linked to their poisoning and then contact Zhang Tieniu to collect the corpse, this situation would be a little wrong.
When they died, they were eating sea crabs, and then they became dead. Obviously, the center of this problem was on the sea crabs.
"What are you doing? Why don't you drag the body in?" Zhang Tieniu asked in a deep voice, his eyes falling on the crab shell in Hu Mo's hand.
Hu Mo pretended to be startled and said, "Grandpa Zhang, look, what is this? I just got it from the mouth of this corpse. According to your teaching, this corpse should have been poisoned, and this poison should be related to this sea crab."
Zhang Tieniu's face changed slightly. Hu Mo could see from this point that Zhang Tieniu was absolutely inseparable from this matter!
He smiled and said, "It's just ordinary food poisoning, there's nothing to make a fuss. These children have nothing to eat, so they naturally like to eat randomly. The disease comes from their mouths, and the food also contains toxins. It's normal for them to be poisoned to death after eating toxic foods, and it's no big deal."
After hearing this, Hu Mo continued, "But aren't these sea crabs from hundreds of miles away? Why do they appear here? Those children won't run away to eat sea crabs."
When Zhang Tieniu heard Hu Mo say this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Silly boy, what's so strange about this? There are many wealthy families here. It's normal for those children to pick up those discarded dead crabs to eat. Very good. You can reason and think now. It seems that you are born to make coroner materials! Move this body up first, clean up the place, and I'll take you to a big meal. Your body is still too weak and you can't make up for it."
Hu Mo said oh, thinking in his heart: "I will definitely find out. These crabs are definitely not simple. It is absolutely impossible to scare me! Since you want to take care of my body, I will naturally not disappoint you. This is what I lack now."
After moving the bodies back, Zhang Tieniu took out a clean dress from the box and put it on Hu Mo. Otherwise, with their previous outfits, it would be impossible for him to enter a hotel.
No matter how Zhang Tieniu dressed up, he looked so cunning. After Hu Mo dressed up, Zhang Tieniu's eyes lit up, and the words of praise were naturally spoken without hesitation.
Hu Mo naturally showed an extremely useful expression. This is the mentality of a child. If he is too mature, he is afraid that Zhang Tieniu will definitely be suspicious.
After dressing up, Hu Mo left the dilapidated house with him. Hu Mo was not very interested in this big meal, but as a child, he should have shown no less of the expression he should have shown now.
They saw some corpses along the way, which made Zhang Tieniu feel very itchy and wanted to pounce over and move all the corpses away. However, at this time, he must remain calm, otherwise it would look very abnormal.
When I arrived in the city, Hu Mo felt the breath of human beings. He mingled with the corpses every day, and that feeling was not very comfortable.
Zhang Tieniu's eyes swept through all kinds of humans. Hu Mo didn't know what he was thinking, but found that his expression was a hint of greed, and those people seemed to be seen as corpses by him.
Hu Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly, and didn't say anything, just followed Zhang Tieniu quietly.
From his clothes, no one could tell that he was the little beggar who had once starved to death. He was like a young master from a wealthy family, but he was a little weak.
Zhang Tieniu usually wears a cloak when doing things, so no one has noticed his appearance. Now that he appears on the street again, no one recognizes him as the coroner who deals with corpses every day.
When Zhang Tieniu really dressed up, he didn't look like he was aging and bad. He walked on the street in a man's outfit, which attracted many ignorant girls who were jealous of money. Zhang Tieniu also showed his nature, with his eyes facing the girls, and his throat was a little dry.
They finally walked to the entrance of a restaurant called "Yihonglou". Four or five girls standing at the door immediately ran over and pulled them into it. They could even think of what this place was.
Hu Mo couldn't help but curse this guy secretly a hundred times in his heart. He brought a child to such a place. Fortunately, this guy could think of it!
Zhang Tieniu was very helpful. He rubbed and squeezed these women with a lewd smile, which made them scream. Zhang Tieniu thought Hu Mo didn't know, so he acted very naturally.
How could Hu Mo not know about these things? You know, the Hu Mo who was taken over by him was already a gentle place at the age of ten, and he was so angry that he had a strong storm. Oh, no, he should have called him a big wave and big butt. Besides, if the appearance of these girls is too far from his confidants, it makes him unable to get any interest at all.
After entering Yihong Building, many prostitutes' eyes fell on Hu Mo. The hungry and thirsty look made Hu Mo feel a little cold. This kind of eyes should not appear on women.
"No one will compete with me later. That little guy is definitely a young man, but it's a great choice for picking and repairing!"
"No one can tell me nonsense? This is what everyone sees at the same time. It's not that you don't allow it if you say nothing, but you should just look at your ability."
Several prostitutes were talking in a low voice. Now they have regarded Hu Mo as their prey and it is absolutely impossible for them to let go so easily.
Zhang Tieniu licked his lips and swept across the prostitutes with a lewd look on his face. Hu Mo said in a very ignorant tone: "Master Zhang..."
"Call uncle, don't call me wrong!" Zhang Tieniu suddenly said in a low voice, and his words made Hu Mo feel chilled.
From a grandfather to an uncle, he is as thick-skinned as a city wall.
"Then... Uncle Zhang, are we here to have a meal?" Hu Mo asked in a low voice. Although the voice was small, the prostitutes not far away heard it clearly. They walked over with a smile and said as they walked: "This young master, of course this is a place to eat. I will surely make you have fun later."
"Happy? I like chicken eating the most. Is there any chicken here?" Hu Mo asked in discomfort. After saying something, the prostitutes next to him were trembling with a little smile.
"There are chickens here. You can eat as much as you want. This man is a bitchy. Did he come from another place? Your young master is so handsome!" The prostitute said as he walked to Zhang Tieniu, and his white and tender little hand was touching Zhang Tieniu, which made him feel more interested.
If these prostitutes knew that Zhang Tieniu was actually a person who specialized in collecting corpses, they would probably not be so attentive, and they might not be too late to hide.
Zhang Tieniu grinned and smiled, "It's not a dough man, but I just rarely come here. Today I occasionally feel a little interested and just bring my nephew to eat, drink and play. Which courtesan here is you? Come and see it for me."
The courage Zhang Tieniu showed at this time was really like a member of the institution. What he was telling the truth was that he almost never came here. He was busy collecting corpses and changing rewards every day, so he had no time to go here for entertainment?
The prostitute next to him couldn't help but cover his mouth and laughed, saying, "This official, you really don't come here. Don't you know that the courtesan of our Yihong Building will only come out to see guests on the first and fifteenth day of the day? If you come out casually, you can't be called a courtesan."
The meaning of these prostitutes is very obvious. If you want to meet a courtesan, you must be able to pay a certain amount of capital, otherwise you should not be foolish.
"Oh? That's right, that's really interesting." Zhang Tieniu's mouth raised slightly and reached out to his arms. When he took out his hand, many pieces of golden paper appeared in his hand, which made all the prostitutes' eyes wide open.
