Chapter 39: The Strange Tombstone
Wang Jing hurriedly ran along the path, and the third child also followed, and I asked Lao Li: "What is the building in front of this?"
Lao Li was stunned for a long time before he realized that the two of them had run away and we were left, so he hurriedly told me: "This is the incineration room in front of you!"
"Damn!" I threw down Lao Li and ran over desperately, this kid is really good at picking a place!
Lao Li shouted in the back to wait for a while, I didn't care so much, I ran for almost ten minutes, and my heart was about to jump out before I caught up with Wang Jing and Lao San. The two of them stopped in the middle of the path, and they could see clearly the small building in front of them, but they just didn't run forward. I gasped and ran to Wang Jing's side and patted her on the shoulder: "I said Sister Jing, why don't you run away when this is coming soon." ”
Wang Jing lowered her head and looked at her feet, there was a key at her feet, and she didn't pick it up in her dormitory, she just kept watching. I bent down to pick it up in confusion, but Wang Jing stopped me: "Don't move!"
Startled me, I straightened up and whispered, "What's wrong Sister Jing, don't scare me." ”
Wang Jing sighed: "Don't you think it's a little strange, it shouldn't be far from seeing that building in the service hall, but we've been running for ten minutes, and we haven't arrived yet." ”
"It may be that the floor is relatively large, and the distance is wrong. "Actually, I also wondered a little in my heart, even if I walked for ten minutes, I could walk a kilometer. The distance between the front and back of this funeral parlor is too far, a little wrong.
The third child looked mysteriously back and forth at the surrounding forest: "Fourth, open your eyes and see, are there any ghosts around here?"
I looked at the third child as if I was looking at a neuropath: "What nonsense? ”
"Something is wrong. Wang Jing finally picked up her key, "I didn't care if I dropped the key when I ran just now, I thought about picking it up when I went back, but the key was actually in front of me." ”
"You mean, ghosts hit the wall?" I chuckled in my heart, isn't this a delay in effort, and the more you delay that kid, the more dangerous it becomes? I try to look at all the places I can see, it's normal, the only thing that is abnormal is that the woods on both sides of this path are too high, and there are no ghosts around.
"I can't say exactly. Ghosts don't appear during the day, but after all, this is a funeral home, and it's not impossible for them to appear during the day. But if there's a ghost around, I can't see it, but I can feel it. Wang Jing put away the key, took out a lipstick from his small bag, and broke off a small piece with a distressed look on his face and made a small mark on the ground.
"See, Sister Jing has made a lot of money. "The third child still has the heart to joke.
Wang Jing glared at him fiercely and clapped his hands: "Let's go, let's go forward and see." ”
"Oh, you're really tormenting my old bones. Lao Li finally caught up, shaking a bunch of keys in his hand, "It's useless for you to run fast, the key is here, and no one can get in if the door is locked." ”
Lao Li took a lot of effort to catch his breath: "You scare me, I saw that you went in and I quickly followed, if something happens, I can't bear the responsibility." ”
The four of us were just about to continue walking, when suddenly a gloomy wind blew and I felt uneasy. The third child suddenly pointed to the side of the road with his big mouth open, his fingers trembled, and his voice trembled: "Look, what's that over there?"
I subconsciously felt for the dagger in my backpack, and now I couldn't do without it more and more, and I was somewhat relieved to hold it in my hand. I followed the place where the third child pointed, and behind the tree in the line with the four of us, there seemed to be a figure with white flowers standing. I rubbed my eyes for fear of being mistaken, and behind the tree was a tombstone, and next to it stood a paper figure as tall as a child.
"I said fourth, we've seen it over there before, is there that thing?" the third hurriedly came over and grabbed my arm.
I thought about it for a long time, and since we arrived at this meeting, we have also looked around, and I really don't have any tombstones in my impression, and this is the roadside of the funeral home, so it would be too unruly to erect a monument casually.
"Let's go check it out first. Wang Jing was about to move forward with a solemn face, I hurried to her side, I couldn't let a girl take the lead. Even if this girl's skills want to knock me down, I can't stop ten.
The four of us cautiously approached the tombstone.
"Why does the tombstone seem to grow out of nowhere?" muttered the third child.
He was right, this tombstone really seems to have grown out of nowhere, and there is no special place around it, and generally speaking, this kind of tombstone has to be put on the surrounding area with bricks. The marble tombstone is engraved with the date of birth and death, and even the fruit plate, wine, incense, burner, and paper figure have it, but there are no photos. And it's not a joke to put paper figures next to such open-air tombstones, what if it rains?
Wang Jing frowned and muttered: "The owner of this tombstone drove the crane to the west two days ago, could it be that they didn't pay attention to it here?"
I looked at the fruit bowl I visited, and it looked like it should be on the table for two or three days. But where did the picture of this tombstone go?
"Li Youcai, Li Youcai," the third child muttered the name on the tombstone, and suddenly shouted, "Look, why is Lao Li missing?"
I hurriedly turned around, and Lao Li Zhen was gone? My blood was cold, this was really a ghost in broad daylight? Or was it the kind of ghost that we could all see? Lao Li was the owner of this tombstone?
I suddenly heard the sound of walking next to me, and quickly protected Wang Jing and the third child behind me, staring at the direction from which the sound came, and my heart was pounding.
Lao Li suddenly walked over from there with his trouser belt in his belt: "What are you doing, I'm just going to pee, I was embarrassed to say when I saw a little girl over there, I heard you shouting at me when I was over there, I was scared and came over quickly, this belt hasn't been fastened yet." ”
Looking at Lao Li's complaining face, I breathed a sigh of relief. The third child patted his chest vigorously: "Lao Li, people are scary and can scare people to death." ”
Lao Li's black face was red, he walked up to us, and also looked at the tombstone: "This place dares to erect a monument, isn't this a trouble, and the leader must not let me be laid off when he sees it." ”
Wang Jing and I glanced at each other, and it seemed that it might all be a false alarm. Lao Li looked at the incense burner on the ground and ran out of incense, and actually took out a few sticks of incense from the long pocket on his overalls pants, lit them and inserted them on the incense burner: "Do what we do, the incense can't be separated." How can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, you have to be careful everywhere, and serve these uncles well. ”
Lao Li bowed respectfully, and when he saw the name of the tombstone owner carefully, he suddenly shouted, took two steps back, and sat directly on the ground. I hurriedly walked up to help him up, but he pulled my sleeve tightly, with a look of horror: "Li Youcai, why is it his? The one who was about to burn two days ago but ran out was called Li Youcai!"
