Chapter 4: The Wraith
Two short and one long, someone will die!
I looked at the three sticks of incense in front of me, and my body trembled.
Just like the incense burns ashes, the two short and one long incense statues also represent the great murderer, and they are even more terrifying!
People are afraid of three long and two short, two short and one long incense, and there must be mourning when this incense comes out of the family.
I glanced at Ge Changqing and was almost certain that his wife's death was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
"Master Zhang, is there any problem?"
Ge Changqing seemed to feel uneasy in his heart, and asked nervously.
"It's nothing, I'm going to sew the corpse, do you want to avoid it?"
I picked up the golden needle and red thread, and I was not ready to meddle in the troubles of the Ge family.
"I... Let's go out first. Ge Changqing said, turned around and walked out of the room.
It's not the first time I've sewn a corpse, but it's the first time I've been so nervous.
"Chen Xueying's soul rests in peace, junior Zhang Luochen wishes you to be buried in peace. ”
I muttered a couple of sentences, and then began to thread the needle and thread, ready to sew the corpse!
Chen Xueying is the name of Ge Changqing's wife.
Starting from the body, the needle and thread shuttled between the flesh and blood of Chen Xueying's corpse.
Maybe it was because Chen Xueying had shed too much blood before, and the flesh of her corpse was a little white.
The golden needle passed through her flesh, no more blood coming out, and it looked like cooked chicken.
Chen Xueying's body was a blur of flesh and blood, and by the time I finished mending her body, it was already half an hour later.
The body and neck are basically already almost mended, and the rest is only the face.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and prepared to start the final stitching.
"Ahh
But just then, I suddenly screamed!
Chen Xueying's originally closed eyes suddenly opened at this moment!
Her eyes were huge, as if their eyelids had been cut off.
And there are no pupils in both eyes, all of them are whites!
I took two or three steps back in quick succession, and almost collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, I had the desire to turn around and run away!
But I know I can't choose that, I can't sew the corpse completely, it's a big taboo, and it will make the evil target me.
"Grandma's, the master is a papermaker, what scene haven't you seen, afraid of wool?"
I took a deep breath, muttered to myself to give myself courage, and then walked back to Chen Xueying's corpse.
As the sewing continued, my hands trembling a little, trying not to look at the white eyes.
Call!
In just ten minutes, I felt like I had spent a century.
When the sewing was over, I breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"She smiled?!"
But the moment I was relieved, my heart contracted again!
On Chen Xueying's cracked face, a wicked sneer actually appeared!
A smile began to appear on her pale face, and it was so cold that I couldn't breathe.
"Ho-ho..."
I tried to go backwards, but my legs felt like they were filled with lead.
And at this time, two sneers suddenly sounded in my ears, and then Chen Xueying's arms suddenly raised, and her hands were pinched around my neck!
"Ahh
I screamed and struggled, but I couldn't shake Chen Xueying's arm.
The feeling of suffocation soon hit, my face flushed, and I felt that my neck was about to be choked by her!
It didn't take long for my consciousness to become blurry.
Jingle Bell ......
A bell rang in my chest, and I suddenly came to my senses.
Chen Xueying lay quietly on the bed, her eyes were closed again, and everything before seemed to be an illusion.
"Bell, did you save me?"
I gasped and took a few steps back, holding the bell around my neck and muttering to myself.
This bell is a relic left to me by my father, and it is also a family heirloom of our family.
Before that, though, the bell didn't show anything unusual.
So I'm not sure if it's really what happened, or if I'm hallucinating because I'm nervous.
"Hurry up and go home. ”
I picked up the ruler and wanted to get out of this evil place as soon as possible.
It didn't take much time to measure the corpse, so I carefully wrote down the dimensions of Chen Xueying's corpse and prepared to leave.
"Master Zhang, are you alright?"
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Ge Changqing walked in.
"When will the undertaker be buried, I will bring the paper clothes and paper when the time comes. ”
I asked, nodding my head.
"Preferably tomorrow. ”
Ge Changqing was very anxious and seemed to be eager to bury Chen Xueying.
"Tomorrow? ”
I was a little surprised, after all, according to our normal custom here, the dead are parked for seven days.
The first seven resurrect souls, which is also to give the dead a chance to see their loved ones.
Syllable!
But just as I was about to leave, I suddenly felt my wrist being held by a hand!
This hand was cold, like ice.
I was standing next to the bed of Chen Xueying's corpse, so I didn't have to think about it, I already knew the owner of the palm!
"Damn, it's really endless?!"
Cold sweat appeared on my forehead, and I cursed secretly in my heart.
"Master Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
Ge Changqing saw the sweat on my face and asked at this moment.
"It's nothing, your wife is at home, is there anyone who cares about you the most?"
I feigned calm, then asked.
Chen Xueying's corpse couldn't have grabbed me for no reason, and I felt that she might have wanted me to help her.
"This... On weekdays, my wife loves my daughter the most. ”
"Then I bothered Mr. Ge to call her. ”
"This, this ......"
After hearing my words, Ge Changqing hesitated directly, it seemed that it was a little difficult to do.
"Mr. Ge, Ms. Chen's death is a bit strange, if you don't do what I say, I'm afraid there will be danger. ”
In order to get out of the crisis, I didn't care about anything else, and began to intimidate Ge Changqing.
"Okay, I'm going to call the little girl. ”
Ge Changqing seemed to be a little helpless and turned away.
"Madame, do you want to see your daughter?"
After Ge Changqing left, I looked down at Chen Xueying and asked.
Chen Xueying didn't give me any reply, but the hand holding my wrist became tighter and tighter.
"Mom!"
There was not much time, and Ge Changqing walked into the room with a young girl.
The girl looks eighteen or nineteen years old, with good facial features, a tall figure, a green silk shawl, and her charm is not inferior to that of a big star on TV!
"You killed my mother! You killed my mother!"
After the girl entered the room, she first cried a few times, and then raised her hand and pointed at Ge Changqing and yelled!
Such a scene is obviously a bit weird, after all, Ge Changqing is her father.
"It seems that there is something hidden in the matter. ”
I glanced at the girl, but I was not surprised.
"Xun'er, don't talk nonsense, your mother died accidentally. ”
Ge Changqing's face was a little unpleasant, and he hurriedly scolded Ge Xun'er, and explained loudly.
