The sound of footsteps came from the house in front, and the next moment, the paper man Xu stepped out of the house.
I couldn't suppress the turmoil in my heart, and Xu's look on the paper was filled with surprise and suspicion.
The reason is simple. It is an iron door, and the lock on it is thick and strong. It is conceivable that what is stored inside is either extremely important or the most difficult ghoul to deal with.
Now that copper coffin has already explained a lot!
"Uncle Xu...how did you..." I closed my mouth halfway through.
Because those men who came together also had their eyes on the open iron door.
In an instant, everyone's expressions were filled with surprise and fear.
My heart sank.
Do these villagers know what is in this coffin?
Before I took Miao Yu'er with me, I had been thinking about destroying the murderous woman and searching for some clues in the mountain. I didn't even bother to ask about the iron gate.
If all these village men knew...
Then I'm afraid I can't even measure the ferocity of this thing...
The moment I was thinking about it, I suddenly discovered that several villagers had already moved away, and they were actually trying to run away.
My expression changed immediately. If there was no one to carry the coffin, there would be more things and more trouble!
"You are not allowed to leave! It's just a coffin, and I have to solve this matter! You just need to help carry the coffin. I will bury the three members of this family, and then you can go home!"
"Mr. Miao told me to get this thing done! If you cooperate with me, Mr. Miao will not treat you badly! Each brother who carries the coffin will be given five big bucks!"
My voice was a lot thicker and stern.
"Father Miao will invite a few people to come. He is trustworthy. If things are delayed, you won't be able to explain to Mr. Miao when he comes back in the future!"
Suddenly, the few villagers who were about to run stopped and did not dare to act rashly again.
Although there was fear in the eyes of these men, they were more filled with greed and desire.
There was a muscular man in his thirties at the front. He licked the corner of his mouth and said, "We will definitely not run away. Money is not a big deal. The things Mr. Miao entrusted must be done well." "Really. Five big bucks?" As he spoke, his expression became flattering, and his tone became even more cautious.
The other men all had glaring eyes, and some were even swallowing their saliva.
I hummed and nodded: "Everyone of you, please follow my instructions and get things done. Each of you will receive five grand. Once the work is completed, you will not lose a penny."
The man immediately patted his chest and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Li, my name is Miaozhuang. Don't worry about this. Whoever dares to have weak legs will be a coward in the village from now on! He will support it for the rest of his life. I can’t stand up!”
After saying this, Miao Zhuang glanced at everyone and said sternly: "Don't embarrass Mr. Miao!"
Everyone nodded and said yes. At this moment, their voices were louder.
Then, Miaozhuang looked at me as if he was asking for credit.
I finally calmed down, gave Miaozhuang a satisfied look, then walked quickly to the door and stood next to the paper man Xu.
Paperman Xu frowned and remained silent.
Glancing around the room, I found that the lids of the three coffins were closed.
Taking a deep breath, I immediately ordered them to carry the three coffins to the front of the Miao family yard and wait for me to come.
Led by Miaozhuang, all the villagers and men immediately entered the house to carry the coffin.
There were bamboo poles and ropes in the corner of the room, which were obviously used when carrying the coffin. They also took them and used them as tools.
While these people were busy, I whispered: "Uncle Xu, come out with me."
At the same time, I walked toward the open space outside the house, and I didn't stop until I was close to the open iron door.
The paper man Xu also followed behind me without stopping.
My brows almost turned into knots, and I said in a very unnatural manner: "Uncle Xu...how could you open this door rashly? Miao Guangyang can't even deal with the things in here..."
I spoke in a very low voice, making it impossible for anyone else to hear except Paperman Xu and myself.
I didn't ask the villagers just now because I didn't want them to know. In fact, I didn't know what was in the copper coffin.
Otherwise, people will definitely be in panic, and they can only find opportunities to ask Miao Yu'er and Miao Guangyang's parents.
The paper man Xu’s eyebrows are also knotted together.
He suddenly said: "Do you think I opened the door? Uncle Xu is old, but he is not confused yet." His words made me stunned.
Paperman Xu shook his head, sighed, and looked at me with a somewhat disappointed look.
"Yin Yang, it seems you can't trust Uncle Xu. This door was opened by someone else. When I came to guard the back, it had already been opened and the lock had been taken away."
"I didn't dare to leave rashly, let alone go in rashly. I just used some paper to guard against the thoughtful person who opened the door."
"I..." I was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say...
At this moment, the villagers also worked in groups of four, carried the coffin, and walked toward the front of the yard...
There was still fear in their eyes before, but now they are full of ruthlessness.
It is true that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
I couldn't say anything else, so Paperman Xu didn't continue to speak.
After all the men carrying the coffin had left, I looked at the paper man Xu even more unnaturally.
At this point I was particularly embarrassed.
The paper man Xu looked at me deeply, his expression became much more complicated.
The next moment, he sighed slightly and looked a little more relaxed.
"Yin and Yang, it's also a shame that it's Uncle Xu. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would destroy the relationship between you. Trust is just like a mirror or a piece of paper. If you break it or crumple it, it won't be restored to its original state."
After I finished speaking, the paper man Xu patted me on the shoulder.
He turned back and looked solemnly at the copper coffin behind the door.
I calmed down a bit and regretted it a lot.
And I also remembered He Pheasant...
Wasn't it because I didn't trust He Zhi enough and I said hurtful words without thinking, which hurt He Zhi's heart, so I let her leave...
Unexpectedly, He Fei still didn’t teach me enough.
I couldn't calm down just now, so I first asked the paper man about the situation and then made my own decision.
Paperman Xu was silent for a moment and continued. "Yin Yang, I have a bit of a guess at who the person in the coffin is."
"If it is really that "person", this is both a danger and an opportunity for Uncle Xu. The one who unlocked the lock must be Zhou Zi. He is very afraid of death and very smart. Without those three corpses, he wants to make something more... Fierce."
"You have to help Uncle Xu with this matter and capture her. When you return to Jiuhe County and deal with Wu Xianchang, Uncle Xu will be able to help."
As soon as Paperman Xu finished speaking, my heart skipped a beat, and I guessed who was in the coffin...
But if that’s the case, is it okay if the paper man and I are two people?
