Chapter XXXVIII
No matter how much we asked the driver, the driver wouldn't tell him what was going on. We didn't bother to fight him. I didn't expect the car to take us to the place, and it stopped not far away. As soon as the driver opened the door: "You guys go down, I don't dare to open it any further." ”
I couldn't help it, I paid and got out of the car. The third child looked at the woods on both sides of the road that were almost obscured: "Don't talk about it in this forest, it's really a bit infiltrating." ”
I counted the change and put my wallet in my bag: "This guy is not very daring, but he really dares to take this money." In other words, Sister Zhang's child has only been missing for a few minutes, could she have traveled so far?"
Wang Jing looked left and right, and pointed along the road: "If you lose your soul, you can still move, which means that there is an extra soul in his body." If it's missing, it's definitely going back to the place where it has to do with the more souls. And you smell the smell of smoke from a fire cooking around here. ”
I raised my nose and sniffed it hard, and there was indeed a smell of oil smoke. It's all here, so I have to go forward.
The parking place is very close to the funeral home, and after walking for a while, I saw the gate of the funeral home compound. The smell of cooking smoke wafted across the gate. The three of us walked a few steps closely, and on the opposite side of the gate was a wooden tie color shop, which is now a shroud flower shop.
"Hey, this boss is really economically minded, this place sells paper people, paper horses, paper money, and business must be good. The third child looked at the little paper figure placed at the door, "This boss is really skillful." ”
"Don't mess around. I patted the third child, walked to the door and knocked, "Is anyone there?"
He shouted twice, and it took a long time for an old man to slowly come out of the back room. If it weren't for daytime, I'd have screamed that there was a ghost.
The old man looked at me with a kettle: "What do you want to buy?"
I rubbed my hands in embarrassment: "Old man, that, I want to ask you something, have you seen a child run to the funeral home before?"
Seeing that I had not come to buy something, the old man went to the back room by himself, not wanting to take care of me. I stood here for a long time before the old man spoke: "How dare a child come here?" Don't go in with the three of you. Can't get in. ”
I glanced back at Wang Jing, Wang Jing touched the paper horse that was placed aside, made a gesture to me to go out, and the three of us left the shop.
Wang Jingyi pointed to the door of the funeral home: "I seemed to see something at the door just now, it seems to be a shoe worn by a child, you call and ask Sister Zhang what kind of child is wearing." ”
I took out my phone and saw that there was no signal in this secluded place. I shook my head and put away my phone, and walked to the front of the funeral home, where there was a black and red sneaker on the floor, which looked like the size of a child. I squatted down to pick up my shoes, and as soon as I looked up, I suddenly looked at me across the door with a swarthy face! The face actually smiled: "Hey, hey, the young man is very bold, and he dares to pick up everything at the door of the funeral home." ”
Wang Jing and the third child hurriedly came over to pick me up, I looked in front of me, fortunately this is a person, but he looks a little dark.
"I'm sorry to scare you. I'm the old Li who played the more. Lao Li spoke to us through the door, "What are you doing here? It's been closed for several days, and I don't know when it will open again." ”
"Master Li, our friend's child may have accidentally run in, so let's look for it. Wang Jing looked at Lao Li vigilantly, looking at it really nothing special, and he was a little relieved.
Lao Li touched the top of his head and thought for a while: "Two days ago, there was indeed a child who ran in, and the lock of this gate was also broken, and no one repaired it, and I didn't pay attention to it, so I quickly kicked him out when I found out." But today I didn't pay attention to whether there were any children mixed in. Since you want to find it, I can say that you can find it, and you must go out before the sun goes down. It's not a peaceful place. ”
So saying, he opened the door for us.
This yard is really big, several two-story buildings should be office and errand places, the rest are woods, just a few paths to separate the forest. The three of us looked around carefully, and I remembered what the driver said: "Master Li, I heard that there was an accident here a while ago?
Lao Li, who led us the way, sighed: "Speaking of it, I feel infiltrated, this place is the place to do white things, the state said to let the cremation be done, a while ago a mourning family came to do things, just pushed the corpse into the furnace, the corpse suddenly rushed out of the furnace." The stove had a door that weighed a thousand pounds, so he rushed open the door and ran out. Not to mention the dead, the living don't necessarily have that much strength. The dead man who was on fire rushed out and hugged several people, who were all burned alive. It has been closed since that day. ”
My scalp tingles when I hear this story. It's all become corpses, and they are about to be cremated, and they can still rush out.
Wang Jing suddenly stopped and stared at Lao Li: "Since the doors are closed, why are you still here?"
Lao Li turned to look at us who stopped, his dark face was very white. The thin man pointed to the door: "The door is broken, you have to be careful not to steal the things inside." Although no one comes, there are a lot of belongings here. ”
Wang Jing frowned and lowered his head to think, following us slowly, and the third child and I followed Lao Li to the door of the first two-story small building that entered the door. Lao Li pushed open the door: "This is the service hall, a place to collect money and sell paper money urns." ”
I looked at the white-painted walls, the doors covered in dust. The third child wiped his finger: "This place hasn't been wiped for a long time, why is it all dust." ”
Lao Li looked at the third child and smiled: "Young man, this ash can't be wiped off." ”
I hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it to the third child: "You bastard has a brain, what kind of ash can be in this place?"
The third child's face turned blue when he took the tissue, and he quickly wiped his fingers desperately: "Bah, why didn't you tell me earlier." ”
Wang Jing pushed the two of us who were blocking the door away: "Can you two do something serious." She went inside and looked at the first floor, where there was nothing but a lot of cigarette ash butts on the floor that led up the stairs upstairs.
"This upstairs is where the cashier counter and the urn samples are displayed. Nothing to look at. Lao Li explained for us. Wang Jing stood here motionless, shook his head and walked out: "There is no movement here. Let's look for it in the next place. ”
The third child and I obediently walked out, and Lao Li gently led the door and walked to the small building next to him. I just wanted to take a step, Wang Jing grabbed my clothes and pointed to the other side: "Look over there!"
I hurriedly followed the direction pointed by Wang Jing, and the figure of a child ran quickly towards the small building at the end of the path!
