Chapter 30: The Cat-Faced Old Lady (4)

Gao Mujuan saw that my eyes were dull, pulled the corners of my clothes, and said with concern: "Dashan, are you okay?" ”

My heart tightened, and I quickly looked away, and I casually responded to Takagijuan and said that it was okay and walked towards the mountain.

However, the moment I turned around, I had the illusion that the Venerable Appearance of the Earth Temple was looking at me, which made my heart beat faster, and I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and my feet also sped up a little!

The mountain is very desolate, mostly bare and dead trees or weeds, but beyond that, you can see a large area of wasteland, which we often call the wilderness.

Listening to Gao Mujuan, the mountain where her grandmother was buried was very high and steep, and the people in the village were worried about Gao Mujuan's grandmother making trouble, and they were really not ambiguous at all, and I heard that a group of people carried the wooden coffin and walked to such a far place to be buried.

And the reason why Gao Mujuan was found digging the coffin that night was also because the people in the village were not worried about her grandmother, so they sent people to take turns to stay there for several nights.

Fortunately, at this moment, both of us were physically energetic and fast, and in about half an hour, we were slowly approaching the place where we were buried.

At this moment, Gao Mujuan's anxiety was also reflected at this moment, she took a shovel and eagerly pushed away the bush in front of her, just as she was about to rush out, I hurriedly grabbed her and covered her mouth that wanted to open her mouth to speak.

"Shhhh

I hurriedly turned off the lamp and lowered the two of them, my eyes full of consternation.

Because at the moment when Gao Mujuan cleared the bushes just now, I clearly saw the faint fire flickering on the wasteland, and the figure that flashed in the firelight!

"How... What's wrong? ”

Gao Mujuan saw the look on my face and asked nervously!

I didn't speak, I lifted the corner of the weeds in front of me, and motioned for Gao Mujuan to look over, and at this moment, the faint light of the fire appeared again, and a figure with his knees on the ground and his back to us appeared in our field of vision!

"Ahh

Gao Mujuan screamed in horror!

"Who?"

The figure hurriedly turned its head, its eyes scanning back and forth between me and Takagijuan, and as the firelight jumped, I saw the blurred outline of the figure and a red birthmark on the corner of the eye.

"Who is it?" The figure shouted again!

At this moment, Gao Mujuan and I squatted motionless in the weeds and didn't dare to make a sound again, the two looked at each other with incredible eyes!

That person was actually burning the paper for her grandmother?

"You old immortal, I will curse you for the rest of my life!"

At this moment, a low and hoarse voice came from underground, and the hollow voice echoed in this desolate and lonely night, which was terrifying!

The figure trembled when he heard this, and cringed and said: "Sister Gao, you just let us go, the same village, I have helped you a lot in the past ten years, you can't kill a village because of this!" ”

"What about me, did you ever read the same village when you killed me?"

The voice underneath the ground suddenly changed, and the voice was so sharp that it was hard to imagine that this was a human voice!

The figure's face changed suddenly, and he lowered his voice for a while: "Yes... It's me who is sorry for you! ”

The voices from below were silent, and they waited for a long time to stop talking, while the figures were muttering and burning the paper, and occasionally a gust of wind blew through and brought up a layer of paper ashes.

Because we were so far away, we didn't know what the figure was saying, and we could only faintly hear some words.

The two of us squatted for a while, and it looked like the figure would not leave for a while, Gao Mujuan and I decided not to stay any longer, and the two of us hid the shovel with a heavy heart, and left the village cautiously!

When I returned to the town, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and under the bleak moonlight, two figures were dragging on the street.

I asked Gao Mujuan, "Is the voice coming from under the ground your grandmother?" ”

"I don't know."

Gao Mujuan looked at me and hesitated: "The voice at the beginning is indeed grandma's, but the voice in the back is too harsh and doesn't look like grandma's voice, so I'm not sure." ”

"What about the person who burned the paper, is it from your village, do you know it?"

I opened my mouth to ask again, Gao Mujuan raised her head and recalled, and said, "No, it's too far away, and it's dark, I can't see it very clearly." ”

After speaking, Gao Mujuan suddenly lowered her head, as if she felt lost because she couldn't help.

I knew that my words had made Takagijuan blame herself, and without thinking, I put my hands on her shoulders to comfort and encourage her.

"Don't worry, don't we have other discoveries, at least we can prove that your grandma is still alive now, why don't I go to the village tomorrow to take a look, anyway, the people in the village don't know me, so I can also take the opportunity to learn about what is happening in the village."

"Thank you!"

Gao Mujuan's eyes were clouded, and she looked at me gratefully again.

I smiled and said, "Don't be so polite to me in the future, we can be regarded as real friends, I will definitely try my best to help you with your grandma's affairs, don't thank me easily!" ”

"Good!"

Gao Mujuan smiled slightly!

When we returned to the hotel, the innkeeper was walking back and forth at the door, and when he saw us coming back, his face was happy, and he quickly pushed us in, and his tone was anxious: "Didn't you let you come back early, why did you come so late?" ”

"Didn't you say twelve, isn't there ten minutes left?" I was puzzled.

"Ten minutes? Ten minutes to go..."

The innkeeper muttered, and was even more anxious to let us hurry upstairs to rest!

Seeing the impatience on my face, Gao Mujuan hurriedly stood up, although she was also slightly unhappy with the innkeeper's actions, but more still had a good impression, so she asked suspiciously.

"Boss, why are you in a hurry, our early and late returns have no effect on the hotel, right?"

"Uh..."

The innkeeper's face was obviously stunned, and he sighed and explained: "Alas, you outsiders don't know, our town is not very peaceful recently, because the haunted things in the town are boiling, and the police in the town can't control this matter, basically no one dares to go out after twelve o'clock in the town, so this hotel also has a rule of closing at twelve o'clock!" ”

The innkeeper said that he pointed to the sign hanging at the front desk, and we also looked in the direction, and the sign did have the rules he said!

Hearing what the innkeeper said, it dawned on us.

No wonder the innkeeper would tell him to come back before twelve, and if it was one o'clock in the evening, he would probably have to lock the door!

But I still haven't forgotten the way the innkeeper lay in front of my door during the day, and I asked thoughtfully.

"I see that the life of the people in the town is quite stable and peaceful, how can it be haunted?"
