Chapter 66: The Wake of the Spirit

Meizi turned around and walked out the door, and soon, some villagers came in and began to deal with the old man's funeral.

Suddenly, Meizi brought some clothes, which were shrouds for the dead, and handed them to the villagers, while a few of us hid in the corner of the house, neither to walk nor to help.

What's wrong with the goose, she kept shivering beside me, her eyes were fixed on the busy people on the bed, watching them dress their rotten bodies, wear hats, socks and shoes, because of the rummagification, some maggots fell off the bed, and there were a lot of white wriggling bugs on the ground.

I hugged Yan'er and tried to keep her from seeing such a disgusting scene.

"Ruolan...... Ruolan ......: "The goose is nervous in my ear, as if she wants to say something.

She hid behind me and pointed her finger at them carefully: "Shroud...... This is the shroud in the closet......"

A shroud in the closet? I suddenly remembered that when Yan'er pulled me outside before, she told me that there was a set of shrouds in the closet, as well as Han Tian's corpse! The shroud just now was brought by Meizi, and when she went to get it, she didn't find Han Tian's body? Or did you find out but deliberately didn't say anything about it? Or...... She already knew?

Taking advantage of the chaos, I told Lei Xing about Yan'er and my shroud and Han Tian, but Lei Xing didn't say a word, and listened to me quietly.

When everything was done, the men walked out of the house, and suddenly there were a few of us left inside.

"Little sister, can you accompany me to the wake tonight? I'm a little scared", Meizi came up to me, sad and pitiful and begging to me.

"This ...... This ......" I looked at the straight corpse lying on the bed in a shroud, and my heart was worried.

"Let's stay with you!" Lei Xing stepped forward and hurriedly said.

"No, my dad asked this little sister to help before he died, which shows that there is fate, besides, isn't he afraid of you, how can you keep vigil by his side?"

We were speechless for a while, and suddenly this burden fell on me alone, did I have to go? But this room is so dark during the day, what happens at night? Is Umeko a murderer or not?

"I ...... We still have something, really, embarrassed...... "I'll say no at once!"

"How can you do this!" Suddenly, an old lady came in through the door, one of the villagers who had been helping just now, and they should have heard our conversation in the hall, so they suddenly came in and said to us, "If you don't have to enter the house, will Grandpa Dog die?" ”

The old grandmother approached me step by step, her fingers were almost touching my nose, are the people of their village so domineering! When I was forced to retreat, Lei Xing naturally protected me behind me, and the strange thing is that as soon as the old grandmother saw Lei Xing, she immediately froze, looked at him carefully, and then turned around and left, walking in a panic.

What the hell happened to Thunderbolt? Why do so many elderly people have such a reaction when they see him?

"Little sister, you helped me, I will definitely help you, I know what you want to know", after the old grandmother left, Meizi patiently persuaded me again.

Yes! Their family knows Wan Boyi's whereabouts, and now it is not a question of whether I want to go or not, but I have no choice at all, besides...... If it weren't for us, the old man wouldn't have done this......

"Okay, I promise you, just tonight?" I gritted my teeth and plucked up the courage to say.

"Yes, little sister, don't worry, I'll tell you what you want to know tomorrow morning, you see, it's almost dark now, you can't do anything, you will leave early tomorrow morning, and you won't delay your affairs, right?" There was an aura in Meizi's eyes, and she seemed to know everything in my heart.

"But ......"

"Lei Xing, I've decided, you guys should go back to the inn tonight, I'll stay here", I interrupted Lei Xing's words.

Shanshan had already taken Yan'er's hand and ran out of the house, Lei Xing thought for a while, and walked out with them.

There are only two people left in the room, Meizi and me, as well as the corpse with a burst brain on the bed, and maybe a Han Tian in the closet who doesn't know life and death. It was getting dark, and Meizi walked out alone, and I stood by the bed like a wooden man, searching around for the light switch.

After a while, Meizi took a chair and walked in, it seemed to be darker, and the noise outside the house just now disappeared.

"I've wronged you tonight, come, you sit on this chair, be comfortable", Meizi patted the chair with her hand, put it next to the bed, and then took the only chair in the original room at the table, put it side by side, and sat down first.

Do you have to sit on the edge of the bed? It's going to take a whole night to be close to the corpse in a shroud like this? I didn't sit down for a long time......

"Sit down, you're tired of standing", Meizi looked up at me and pulled down the corner of my clothes.

"That...... Where is the switch on the light...... "I'm still standing, trying to turn the light on first.

"Lights? Look if there's a light in the room," she smiled wickedly.

In the dimness, I looked carefully again, and there was not a single light! There are no corners and corners!

"Alright, sit down! Standing strangely tired", Meizi pulled me again, this time I sat down helplessly, as if suddenly plunged into boundless darkness, it seemed that I could only see Meizi, and the strange corpse......

How does it feel so wrong......

"That's right! What about your son? Where did it go? I suddenly asked her like a life-saving straw.

"Maybe run out and play," she said lightly.

"That'...... What about those out there? It's your relatives, they don't have to keep vigil, right? ”

"Because my father didn't like crowds, I let them all go back."

"Oh......"

My heart suddenly cooled, and I was destined to spend it like this tonight, but there was always an indescribable feeling, as if something was strange......

We sat there without saying anything to each other, and I waited quietly for the time to pass, hoping that the sky would light up sooner, so that I could be relieved sooner, and I could know Wan Boyi's whereabouts sooner.

"Little sister, you say...... How do you define death? Plum suddenly opened her mouth to me, her voice deep and deep, startling me in the room so quiet that I could even hear my breath.

"Define death?" I asked rhetorically, I was not prepared for such a question, and how could a rural woman say such a thing, and how could she ask such a question in such an environment......

I thought about it for a moment and replied, "Is it brain death as a criterion?" (To be continued.) )
