In front of him is an irregular circular space, only the height of two floors and no more than ten meters in diameter, so the light from the torch is enough to illuminate the entire space.
There are densely packed wooden coffins hanging on the circular stone wall of this space, some of which are rotten and shabby.
Lai Ju quickly walked towards one of the wooden coffins, which was as tall as half a person.
It was a brand new wooden coffin. The wooden surface was smeared with red paint. It was smooth and bright without a trace of dust. It must have been the residence of the old woman.
"Grandma...!"
Lai Ju was like a sad child, lying on the wooden coffin and crying bitterly.
Although I had no interaction with that old woman, we only met her once, but she saved my life, and I should pay tribute to her both emotionally and rationally.
I stepped forward and bowed deeply to the wooden coffin to express my condolences.
On the other side, Sai Qingfeng was walking around the space with his hands behind his back, while Lai Aotian was following closely behind him like a following dog.
"Mr. Sai, have you found the strange place?" Lai Aotian asked eagerly.
Sai Qingfeng stopped when he heard this, nodded with a smile and said: "As I guessed, the strange aura here is indeed very strong, and the strangeness is indeed in this forbidden area."
"Mr. Sai, where is that damn weird thing?"
Lai Aotian looked around and asked anxiously.
"In a hanging coffin."
When Sai Qingfeng said this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and my scalp felt numb for a while.
Sai Qingfeng was really powerful. Not only did he tell that the strange thing was in this forbidden area, he also told where it was hiding at the moment.
However, what Sai Qingfeng said was a bit too general. Although the forbidden space in front of him was not large, the number of hanging coffins in it was countless, at least several hundred. Without a clear direction, only a ghost would know where he was hiding. You can't open the hanging coffins one by one to look for them.
"Mr. Sai, among the coffins with so many coffins, which one is in it?"
Lai Aotian directly asked the question that many of us want to ask.
I thought Sai Qingfeng would directly point out the direction, but I didn't expect that he shook his head in a leisurely manner and said: "No hurry, the time has not come yet. If you disturb it, it will definitely have the opposite effect, and it will end in a dead end. The only way is to wait until the blood The moment the moon comes, when it revives, that is when it is at its weakest, and that is the best time to deal with it."
"Oh, it all depends on Mr. Sai, so what should we do now?"
"wait!"
Sai Qingfeng said one word, and then with an enigmatic look, he walked out towards the passage he came from, with his hands behind his back.
I thought I would see with my own eyes what the so-called weirdness looked like, and I also thought that this step might lead to a narrow escape from death.
But what I never expected was that I just walked in and walked around and came out, just like watching the lights, and no problem seemed to be solved.
But Sai Qingfeng is a master in this field. Since they said wait, they can only wait. I just hope that nothing weird will happen again during the waiting period.
After leaving the cave, I saw King Kong spreading his palms and counting the candies again and again, as if if he counted a few candies, one would be missing.
Liu Tingting seemed to really like playing with this guy with strong limbs and simple mind. If I hadn't pulled her away forcibly, she would have actually gone to disturb the good kid who was concentrating on doing math problems.
After leaving the cave, we went back to the location of the altar. After making sure that the paper figurine formation was still intact, Sai Qingfeng said to us: "Okay, there's nothing going on for now, just wait. Well, just wait until the blood moon comes."
What this means is that we can do whatever we want now, as long as we wait until the blood moon in three days.
In this way, our strange combination was temporarily dispersed. Lai Aotian ordered us to live in a place, and even arranged the most luxurious room in the clan for Sai Qingfeng, which was said to be Lai Aotian's own home.
However, Sai Qingfeng did not check in, but said that he could just meditate on the altar and would not go back anywhere.
Lai Aotian didn't ask for anything. He wished for it. With Sai Qingfeng at the altar, his daughter lying in the pit would be even safer.
After exchanging pleasantries with Sai Qingfeng, Lai Aotian left, seemingly to see his good-for-nothing son.
The three of us were directly arranged to stay at Lai Aju's home, which is where the old lady lived before.
Although the residence is simple, it is surprisingly clean. From this, it can be seen that the old woman is also a clean person.
Lai Aju said that she had not returned to the Lai tribe for more than ten years. Now that she is back, everything is the same as before. Except for the absence of the old woman, nothing else has changed.
When the old woman was mentioned, Lai Ju felt extremely sad, and tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.
As the little girl was frightened by the paper man, the large dark clouds at the pass dissipated, and the warm sunshine shone in the canyon, giving this ancient tribe a mysterious color.
Lai Aotian sent someone to deliver meals at noon, but there were only four of us eating, missing the person at the helm.
Seeing that there was one missing person, I asked Lai Ju, and Lai Ju told me that the helmsman was worried about his fishing boat and had gone back to look at the boat.
I said oh and said nothing more, concentrating on filling my stomach.
Women have private topics between women. After lunch, Liu Tingting mysteriously took Lai Aju away and didn't know what she was doing, leaving Gouzi and I with nothing to do.
In my rare free time, I really wanted to ask Gouzi why he came here, but I thought he couldn't speak, and I didn't understand sign language. Even if he gestured with his hands, I didn't understand it at all. I simply stopped asking.
Gouzi was silent as always, but for a moment I saw a trace of sadness in his eyes, and I didn't know if it was the impact on him because Liu Qiaomei ran away with the wealthy businessman.
The weather is nice, but if you don't go out for a walk, you'll get moldy if you stay in the house.
I asked Gouzi if he wanted to go out for a walk together and experience the customs of the ethnic minorities.
But who would have expected that the dog didn't pay any attention to me at all, but stared at a few photos on a wooden wall in a daze.
I didn't pay much attention to this, thinking that there is nothing interesting about old photos, and you wouldn't recognize them even if you saw them, so I curled my lips and left the house to go shopping alone.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m an outsider, but I always get strange looks wherever I go. It feels like looking at a monkey in a zoo through a cage.
Not only that, they were avoiding me like the god of plague. I waved and smiled at them, and the next second they would run away like their butts were on fire, which made me feel depressed.
"Little brother, this is for you to drink!"
Just when I was depressed, a little Lai girl about my age held a bamboo tube and handed it to me.
Finally someone was willing to talk to me, I couldn't help but feel happy, and she was also a very pretty-looking girl, which made me feel a little better.
"Ah, it smells so good. What is this?"
After taking the bamboo tube, I smelled it and smelled a light fragrance, smelling like spring.
"This is wine made from hibiscus petals. It's very delicious. Try it."
"OK."
I took a small sip first. It lasted long in the mouth, and there was a faint aroma of wine among the floral aroma. It was the best wine I had ever drunk.
Maybe I was a little thirsty, so I drank it all in one gulp, feeling very refreshed.
"Thank you."
I said thank you and handed the bamboo tube back to the girl.
She took the bamboo tube and turned around and left. At the moment she was about to disappear, she turned her head and gave me a knowing smile.
The eyes are full of peach blossoms, which is the feeling of a girl in love.
But I saw something strange in her clear eyes, which made me confused.
