Taozi was always holding my arm. After hearing what I said, the strength in her hand increased significantly.
"What will we do if you leave? Otherwise, I will go with you."
I pointed at Ah Chen's tent and said, "He's here."
"You really dare to entrust these people's lives and fortunes to him?"
"A good man is in his words, and a good horse is in his legs. He was a good man, but he was ruined by his words."
Thinking carefully about Ah Chen's every move, he does have a weird personality, but his character is fine.
In the situation just now, even if he didn't come to the rescue, no one could find fault with him.
On top of that, we had a little friction along the way.
A person who can put aside personal grudges in the face of right and wrong of life and death is incomparable.
The flames ignited in the village had not yet been extinguished. Taozi and I gave a few brief instructions and then slid down the slope.
The unknown big tree stood shadowy on the roadside. I left the flashlight in the camp. The only thing that could illuminate it was the pale moonlight.
The broad leaves passed over my shoulders, and there was a slight friction between the clothes and the leaves.
I suddenly felt a chill running down my spine. When I looked back, there was nothing there.
This feeling is very uncomfortable, as if there is a pair of eyes staring at me all the time.
As soon as I entered the village, a familiar smell of burning paper entered my nostrils.
The smell of burning paper was very strong, and it was so intense that it irritated my eyes.
I raised my hands above my head and could clearly feel the presence of the wind.
Burning paper in such an open place can still produce such a strong smell. How much has been burned?
As I kept walking inside, I looked up and felt a little weird.
There are white flags hanging in front of the door of every house, and my colorful paper figures are placed directly opposite the door.
The slightly burned out gold ingots and ghost coins made a hissing sound of burning.
When the wind blows, the ashes draw circles in the wind.
Thinking of those weird strides of white rice, and looking at the white flags now floating throughout the village, a chilling thought suddenly emerged from my heart.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have never seen anyone since I entered the village!
The rice created an illusion for me, so much so that I always thought someone was handing the rice to me!
Is it possible that there are no living people in this village?
Where have the living people gone, and who is burning paper at the door?
I raised my head and glanced at the courtyard wall, maybe the answer lies here.
I took a deep breath, hung on the eaves of the wall with one hand, and climbed directly into the wall.
The moment I landed in the yard, I deliberately made some noise, but there was no response.
People may be heavy sleepers, but every household in rural areas keeps dogs. No matter what, dogs will not disappear.
The yard is no different from an ordinary rural yard. Facing the yard door is a straw stack and two large tile-roofed houses face to face.
When I got to the bottom of the window, I gently opened the old wooden window cover, looked in along the gap, and suddenly my scalp went numb.
I guessed it right!
On the big bed in the room, there were two big black coffins!
I walked around the window, and with a slight tug, the door opened in response.
When I entered the door, I sniffed. I was sure that the smell of the food had not dissipated.
Until then, I suddenly realized that things were getting more complicated.
Now that the person in the house is dead, who was the person who handed me the food before?
The coffin was not closed, so I carefully stretched my head forward, and what I saw was a man and a woman.
The man wore a brown tunic suit and the woman wore an eight-step skirt.
These are old clothes for funerals!
When I was stunned, something suddenly stood up in the coffin, and a stream of white powder splashed on my face.
The sudden change plunged me into darkness like a blind man, followed by an endless burning sensation.
It feels like shower gel has gotten into your eyes and you can't wash them off.
"Whizzing."
Two bursts of wind sounded in my ears. Although I couldn't see it, I could feel the two gusts of wind sliding down my ears.
Could it be that Ah Chen is here?
I shook the powder on my body vigorously, and finally managed to open my eyes a little.
Looking down, I saw two empty coffins!
There's only one way a dead body can disappear suddenly - it's a fake corpse.
Theoretically speaking, if this person has just died and the yang energy in his body has not dissipated, living people should try not to get close to him.
This is why the funeral pot should be placed one meter away when burying a body in a funeral home.
If it's a simple evil spirit, it's easy to deal with.
But if the corpse is faked, it will be too difficult to catch.
I'm not that worried, though.
