After waiting for more than ten minutes, I only felt that my legs were sore, and I was a little drowsy, at this moment, my arm was dragged by Hao Minyuan on the left side, and my drowsiness was instantly dispelled, and when I looked up, I saw a hunchbacked old man standing in the courtyard of the coffin Li, who was pushing the tricycle out.

My intuition told me that this person was Coffin Lee.

Pulling the gate and pulling the tricycle out, he turned around and closed the door again, and rode his bicycle out of the village.

It wasn't until the tricycle disappeared from sight that we got out of the straw.

"What's wrong, it's suspicious, isn't it?" I lowered my voice and said to Hao Minyuan.

Hao Minyuan nodded: "It's true!" Running out of this point is definitely not a good thing. ”

Fa Dian stared at the courtyard for a full minute before muttering, "I didn't expect there to be people in the world today who would do such things......

Hao Minyuan and I opened their mouths almost at the same time and asked, "Who will do what?" ”

Fa Dian smiled and pointed to the courtyard of the coffin Li: "Just go in and have a look!" ”

The servants groped their way to the door of the coffin Li courtyard, and Hao Minyuan took a look at the lock on the door with his mobile phone: "It's locked, go over the wall!" ”

The courtyard wall of the coffin Li family is not high, first Hao Minyuan grabbed the edge of the wall with both hands, and with a force, he first pushed his legs up, and then with a support, the person had already squatted on the wall.

"Brother, you go down to the top, I'll pull it up, let's get Master Fa Lian up."

Hao Minyuan whispered to me.

Before I could speak, Fa Yi just smiled: "No! As he spoke, he took two steps back, then rushed forward, relying on inertia and his hands and feet, and the figure climbed over the wall like a bouncy ball.

"Master, what a skill!"

Hao Minyuan couldn't help but admire.

No way! The old monk is not simple! In addition to the magic awesome, I didn't think I was still a practitioner, so there are two things in my heart that have been proved:

One is that the monk really knows martial arts.

The second is that age is really not a problem.

I can't learn the method of climbing the wall, but after eating the black substance in the underground cracks, my strength is much greater than normal, and I also learned from Hao Minyuan, grabbing the edge of the wall with both hands, and with a sudden force, the person also went up the wall.

In addition to dozens of black coffins in the courtyard of the Li family, there is also a big locust tree planted, but I didn't expect Fa Dian to look at the coffin, but stared at the big locust tree for half a minute.

There is a kind of folk saying, saying that the locust tree can pass through the ghost, which can be seen from the glyph of the word "locust", it is wood on the left, ghost on the right, and the ghost in the wood.

Seeing Fa Dian staring at the locust tree, I instantly thought of my previous experience at Long Po's house, it was also night, and there was also a lush tree in the yard, but there was a monster hidden in the big tree, and there were a lot of human bones buried under the big tree...... The experience of that day is still chilling.

"What's wrong with this tree?" I lowered my voice and asked.

Fa Dian smiled: "This old man knows how to cut paper, it's not simple!" ”

I've known Fa Dian for a few days, and it's the first time I've heard him praise a person like this, and my heart can't help but tremble.

"What is Paper-Cutting?" Before I could ask, Hao Minyuan had already opened his mouth.

"It's also a kind of magic derived from witchcraft......" Before he finished speaking, a sound of "quack" came from the darkness on one side - this is ...... It's the call of a duck!

Searching for the sound, I saw a duck fence in the corner of one side, and five or six ducks were staring at us.

Several of the ducks were black, that shiny black. At night, it's still a little cloudy, and if you don't look carefully, you really don't pay attention.

It is normal for the village to raise a few chickens and ducks, and I didn't take it seriously, and walked straight to the door, I heard the village supermarket proprietress say that the coffin Li is an old bachelor, has no relatives, and has been living alone, so I know that there is no one in the house at this time, so I pushed the door directly.

Who knew that when I pushed it away, I didn't push it.

Kindness? I looked at it again, and the door wasn't locked, so why couldn't it be opened? I tried twice again, but it still didn't push it open, which made me wonder, could it be that the door was locked from the inside - so there was someone in the house?

Almost as soon as the idea came to me, I heard a childish voice from the room.

"Is Grandpa back?"

As if I had been electrocuted, I flicked two or three steps back. No way! There are really people in the house!

The door creaked open, and a little boy dressed in red leaned out, winked at us, and stepped out. The little boy looked no more than five or six years old, just above my waist, and looked like a white and chubby little boy, but with a braid.

"Who are you?"

When the little boy saw us, he didn't feel the slightest nervousness, but grinned and asked us.

"I ...... We're here to buy something! ”

In a panic, I casually made up a reason.

"I'm here to buy a coffin!"

I nodded, "Yes!" ”

"Grandpa is out, the coffin is in the yard, you can pick it yourself! If you buy a bite for 300 yuan, if you take two mouthfuls together, you can buy it for 50 yuan, and the money can be put on the table. The boy's voice was crisp and loud, and his words were clean and clear.

Pick it yourself? This embarrassed me, I can't really pick a coffin and take it away!

Hao Minyuan walked up to me, squatted down, and asked the little boy with a smile: "Is Lao Li your grandfather?" How did I not know that he had such a grandson? ”

The little boy smiled slightly, revealing the small dimples on his cheeks.

"I don't know! Grandpa is the fruit of the locust tree......"

Hao Minyuan smiled again and asked the little boy, "Can we go into the house and drink saliva?" ”

The little boy nodded, dodging a void.

I followed Fa Cheng into the house, and then saw what was going on inside.

The living room is quite spacious, the furniture is old-fashioned, after a glance, it makes people feel that they have suddenly walked into the rural people's homes in the eighties and nineties of the last century. On one side of the small wooden table was a kerosene lamp with a large glass cover on it.

"Children, it's you and grandpa at home!" Hao Minyuan asked again.

"That's right!"

I glanced around and scratched my head: "Why don't you turn on the lights in your house!" ”

The little boy shook his head: "There is no electricity at home, and grandpa won't let it!" ”

I asked again, "No electricity?" Wouldn't it be more convenient to use candles, why do you have to use kerosene lamps! And there's a big glass cover. ”

The boy shook his head again: "Grandpa won't let me - even the kerosene lamp won't let me get close." ”

What a weird old man! At a glance, I saw a long offering table in the innermost part of the living room, on which was placed an incense burner, with three unlit yellow incense sticks, there was not the slightest soot in the incense burner, and what was even more strange was that there was a pair of black scissors on the table. Second Chinese Network

What kind of custom is this, there are chickens, ducks, fish and meat as tribute, there are fruit cakes to offer, and there are scissors on the table, I have seen it for the first time. I was stunned when I heard a low cough outside, and the sound was outside the door, followed by the sound of unlocking.

Not good! The coffin Lee is back.

At this time, we can't run if we want to, what should we do! Immediately, Fa Dian and Hao Minyuan also heard the movement outside, and the two of them were also shocked.

"It's grandpa back, right? He came back so early today! ”

The child laughed and ran out into the yard.

We followed suit.

The gate was slowly pushed open, and the hunchbacked old man, who had been riding a tricycle away, walked in with a tricycle, and when he saw us, he shouted angrily, "What are you doing!" How can it be in my house? ”

I hurriedly pretended to be calm and squeezed out a smile: "I was in a hurry to choose a coffin, I knocked on the door, and no one agreed, isn't this ...... In no hurry, he climbed in. ”

Coffin Li Li's eyes were a little swollen, like some kind of ornamental goldfish eyes, he glanced at us again, and asked coldly: "What kind of coffin to buy in the middle of the night?" You guys...... You don't look like locals? How can there be a monk? ”

After speaking, his gaze froze on Fa Dian.

After this period of experience, I also became a lie and did not need to make a draft, and casually said a lie: "The rule left by my ancestors, if someone in the family dies, the coffin must be selected on the same day, otherwise the mold will be brought to future generations."

"And that said? You guys...... Where are you? ”

"Staying in town for the time being...... Do business in town! ”

I felt that I couldn't make it anymore, but fortunately the coffin Li didn't continue to ask, just nodded and pointed to the coffin in the yard: "Pick it!" ”

No way! At this point, I can only choose a coffin first, and it is a big deal to lose some deposit.

I chose a coffin casually, and after paying a deposit of 100 yuan, I was sent out of the door by the coffin Li, and as soon as I got out of the door, Hao Minyuan pretended to be curious and asked: "Uncle, why are you still going out so late!"

After the coffin Li "En", he only replied coldly: "It's something to do when you go out." Obviously, he coped, but he didn't want to say it, and we couldn't help it.

Leaving Qilijing Village, Hao Minyuan was a little depressed.

"Brother, didn't you say that the old guy always comes home before dawn! That's not a lot of work......"

"That's what the proprietress of the supermarket said at the time...... Maybe he has something to do today, just in time! ”

At this time, Fa Dian on the side laughed a few times.

In fact, sometimes I hate Fa Dian's cynical character, when is this time, just now I broke out in a cold sweat, and I put on a hundred yuan for nothing, the key is that at this time Hao Minyuan and I are angry.

"What are you laughing at?" I said angrily.

"I'm laughing at your nonsense!" Fa Dian was still grinning, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.

"I ...... We? Where are we talking nonsense? ”

I was provoked by him and unconsciously raised my voice.

"As soon as we enter the courtyard, something will tell him! That's why he hurried home. Fa Dian replied without hurry.

"Someone reported that there was no one else but the child!"

Hao Minyuan wondered.

"I mean there's something to report, not to mention people!"

Now Hao Minyuan and I were even more confused: "Not people? What else can it be if it's not human? ”

"Duck!"

"Ducks? You...... You're not talking about the black ducks in the corner, are you? ”

Unexpectedly, Fa Dian nodded.

"Master, you...... You're not kidding, are you? ”

Hao Minyuan stared at Fa Dian. The annoying thing is that Fa Dian still looks like a hanger.

In the past few days, I also know a little about Fa Dian's character, he just looks unreliable and speaks thunderously, but in fact, his behavior is very measured, so he asked him: "Are you ...... Why do you say that? ”

"Didn't you notice the strange ducks?"

I thought to myself, the strangest thing is you—you can't say that.

"Strange? You say their feathers are extraordinarily black? ”

Fa Dian gave me a blank look: "What's so strange about black!" Think about it, what are they doing when you stare at them? ”

I recalled, and then said, "They're staring at us, too!" And...... And motionless! ”

Hao Minyuan, who was on the side, also smacked his tongue and said, "Yes! I also had a strange feeling of being stared at by them, as if it was ...... It was as if a few people were staring at me. Listening to Hao Minyuan's reminder, I suddenly remembered that I also felt this way just now.

"Master, you said that those ducks told the coffin Li that a few of us climbed into the yard?" Hao Minyuan's voice trembled a little.

"That's right! These ducks are not ordinary ducks, but double-eyed Arhats, after this kind of ducks are hatched, they will be fed human flesh once a month, and once a month they will be fed with the blood of their owners, and after a year, they will become two-eyed Arhats, and they can tell their owners everything they see in a way that ordinary people can't explain at all. ”

Hao Minyuan took a deep breath and asked softly, "So evil!" That's a lot better than a watchdog! ”

Fa Dian smiled: "The two-eyed Arhat was originally raised by some people on the Tao to watch the door, but the way of cultivating the two-eyed Arhat is too thunderous, and the duck itself has no force value, so there are fewer people who gradually cultivate this kind of duck." ”

After listening, Hao Minyuan was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Master, you just said that this kind of duck must eat human 'meat' once a month?"

"I said it!" Fa Yan nodded.

"But where did the human flesh come from?"

These words made me tremble, and the appearance of the big locust tree in the courtyard of the coffin Li first appeared in my mind. The locust tree grows very luxuriantly, could it be that the coffin Li is also the same as Long Po, and buried a lot of broken corpses under the big tree?

Thinking along these lines, I was a spirit all over me.

When I left Tie Guan Li's house just now, I smelled an extremely unpleasant stench, and I was just in a hurry to leave his house, and I didn't care, but when I looked back, this stench was quite familiar, very similar to the smell of corpses.

The point is that the smell of corpses is coming from the small tricycle.

I thought of the words of the proprietress of the supermarket in the village again...... He rode his tricycle out almost every night in the middle of the night and returned before dawn...... The car was filled with the smell of corpses...... So a body was transported on a tricycle?

Where did the corpse come from?

An idea came to my mind: on a dark night, an old hunchbacked man crouched on the side of the road with a machete in his hand, and when there was a person walking alone at night, he would make a surprise attack, kill him with one sword, and then take his body home......

No wonder my uncle said that there has been a strong evil aura in Qilijing recently, and there is such a murderous demon who understands evil arts living in the village, and it would be wrong if there was no evil spirit. In this way, the coffin Li should not be the ninth person suitable for sacrificing to the river!
