Chapter 5: The Grave Keeper

His chest contracted violently in an instant, and his body trembled violently, and Lin Yuhan quickly turned around and looked at it without even having time to shout.

Behind him, stood a slender figure, with skin as rough as tree bark, and a grotesque smile on his face.

"Wow!"

The lantern in his hand lit up, and the voice of the figure came into his ears: "Who are you, what are you doing sneakily in the middle of the night?" ”

It's a person!

Lin Yuhan quickly made a judgment and then pressed back the heart that was squeezed into his throat.

As long as it's not a ghost, he can handle it.

Lin Yuhan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied cautiously: "Tomb sweeper." ”

"Tomb sweeping?" The man said in a questioning tone, "What kind of tomb to sweep at night!" Aren't you afraid of hitting ghosts? Are you a grave sweeper or a tomb robber! ”

"Big brother, I don't have that unique skill, I'm just lost." Lin Yuhan made up a lie, scratched his head in embarrassment, and asked rhetorically, "Who are you?" ”

"Grave keeper." The rickety figure sighed and persuaded, "I see that you have encountered a ghost hitting the wall, it is too late, it is very dangerous here, you can go back with me." ”

"Alas, okay......" Lin Yuhan had no choice but to agree. He originally came to investigate the secret of the haunting of the cemetery in the western suburbs, but unfortunately the grave keeper was here, and he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only follow him back the way he came.

Anyway, it's still a few hours before midnight, and I have time.

The grave keeper's house is on the edge of the cemetery, with a total of two floors, a small courtyard, and an attic on the second floor. The north and south are transparent, smooth sailing, three bedrooms and one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, with a garden attic, it is really an enviable house type.

The grave keeper called himself Chen Dingnian, who had worked in this place for more than 30 years, and he told Lin Yuhan that this cemetery was very evil, don't run around at night, be careful of hitting ghosts!

Push open the hidden door of the yard and enter the house.

Chen Dingnian's room was much warmer inside than outside, he took a pot of boiling hot water from the stove, brewed tea, and chatted with Lin Yuhan.

"Outlander?" Chen Dingnian asked with a thick accent.

"Lanhai City." Lin Yuhan replied.

"It's a little far!" Chen Dingnian nodded, "People from the city came to our countryside to sweep the grave, who are you buried inside?" ”

"Not parents." Lin Yuhan immediately replied with great firmness, "A friend I haven't seen for a long time, I heard that he is gone, I came over to take a look." ”

"Oh." Chen Dingnian didn't ask any more questions, and brought the tea to Lin Yuhan: "Drink a cup of tea to warm your body." Don't run around, it's so late, or stay with me tonight. ”

Lin Yuhan's heart was shocked, and he suddenly thought of what the old lady said: "Don't spend the night in the cemetery." ”

Lin Yuhan secretly glanced at the sharp-beaked monkey with a goatee on his cheeks, put the tea in his hand aside, and prevaricated: "I don't drink tea, and it's easy to fall asleep at night." It's been a long day and I'm tired. ”

"That's fine, Emerald Flower!" Chen Dingnian greeted loudly, and a charming woman walked down from the attic, "Two good dishes, I'll drink two cups with this friend!" ”

The woman looked blank, nodded mechanically, and walked into the kitchen.

Lin Yuhan always felt that this woman was extremely strange, as if she was a puppet with no feelings, with a wooden expression and dull eyes, as if her soul had been sucked away.

"This, it's not good...... Lin Yuhan said, "Big brother, I really don't need it, I have eaten in the town, knife cut noodles, and I am quite full." ”

"You said that Lao Yan's knife cut noodles!" Chen Dingnian shook his head, "It's not as delicious as the food cooked by my mother-in-law, since I'm here, let me do my landlord's friendship." ”

"Okay then, but I don't drink, take the bar with water!"

"It's a big man who doesn't drink...... Chen Dingnian seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but it was not easy to force it, so he could only pour a cup by himself and take two sips sullenly.

In fact, Lin Yuhan doesn't drink alcohol, but when investigating the case, he must keep a clear head, this old man has a good amount of alcohol at a glance, in case he is dazed, he will sleep until tomorrow morning, and he will investigate a yarn.

About ten minutes later, Chen Dingnian walked into the kitchen and brought out three plates of side dishes. Put it on a small wooden table half a meter high, bring two Maza, and greet Lin Yuhan: "Sit!" ”

The two sat opposite each other, which was a bit of an atmosphere, and suddenly there was an atmosphere of being called a brother, Chen Dingnian took a sip of great enjoyment, and his face was slightly red.

"Don't you really drink it?"

"I really don't drink it."

The woman came out of the kitchen and gestured with Chen Dingnian, making a "babbling" sound from her mouth, and it could be seen from her gestures and expression that the woman was ready to go to bed.

Chen Dingnian waved his hand disdainfully and sent the woman away: "I don't need you to clean up the dishes and chopsticks today, let's rest first." These things will be put for tomorrow morning. ”

With a look of gratitude in the woman's eyes, she walked upstairs.

A mute?

Lin Yuhan really felt sorry for this woman. In fact, she is very beautiful, she is in her twenties, although she is dressed a little rustic, but if she changes into beautiful clothes, I am afraid that she is no less than these current celebrities. Although she is shy and wooden, she has small red flowers and delicate hairpins on her head, and it is obvious that she also loves beauty.

Women can never give up the pursuit of beauty.

It's a pity.

Lin Yuhan shook his head again, if this woman was not a mute, at least she would find a similar family in the village, how could she be accompanied by the tomb keeper in this barren mountain range.

The food in the mountains is really simple, without the choking gutter oil and throat-pulling condiments, it tastes unique. Clean and pure, the entrance is like a clear spring water, and there is a hint of sweetness.

The aftertaste is as refreshing as sprite.

"How does it taste?" Seeing Lin Yuhan put the food into his mouth, the grave keeper asked with a smile.

"Good." Lin Yuhan praised, "There is a feeling of returning to the basics." ”

"Really?" Chen Dingnian was a little proud, "This dish is all grown by me, not only has it not been sprayed with pesticides, but it has also not been filled with chemical fertilizers." The fertilizer ripening in your city is certainly not as good as that. Don't look at our vegetable without fertilization, it grows well. ”

Lin Yuhan suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Where do you grow the vegetables?" ”

"Whatever, this mountain is my territory, which one do you want to plant? I found you just now because I went over there to pick vegetables. Chen Dingnian casually picked up a few oily wheat cabbages and stuffed them into his mouth.

Lin Yuhan: "......"

No wonder it's so refreshing, and there is a cool feeling, there is yin in this dish.

The mountains are full of pure natural organic fertilizer, and this dish grows well.

Lin Yuhan didn't eat a few bites, he wasn't hungry himself, and he lost his appetite even more when he heard Chen Dingnian say this, and spent most of his time chatting with this Chen Dingnian, and by the way, he learned about the situation in the cemetery. But Chen Dingnian was full of interest in eating.

He told Lin Yuhan that the cemetery began to be haunted ten years ago, and there were often cases of corpses being scammed in the cemetery. Maybe a zombie will emerge in the pit in the middle of the night, this is not a rumor, many villagers have seen it, and he himself has seen it a few times.

Lin Yuhan asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of such a dangerous place?" ”

"Me?" Chen Dingnian shook his head, "I'm familiar with them, I have some feelings, and it's quite interesting to listen to their stories about the past." ”

Lin Yuhan suddenly thought of a children's song he often heard when he was a child: We sat next to the ashes and listened to our mother tell the story of the past......

"Look at my door," Chen Dingnian pointed to the wind chimes hanging at the door, "That one is for warding off evil spirits, and ghosts can't get in." ”

He flicked the crotch of his pants again and took out a few yellow talismans: "Look, I asked the Taoist priest, the talisman used to save my life, and the zombies only had to run away when they saw it." ”
