Chapter 275: Mysterious Old Man
When the sky lantern is extinguished, ordinary people can't see anything, but in the eyes of those who are about to die, they are actually no different from the dead.
The madman's graveyard was eerie and terrifying, Li Ergou and the fat man did not delay, took a flashlight, and walked to the village.
When they were about to reach the entrance of the village, they encountered strange things again.
Li Ergou first heard a strange bell sound, and then saw an old man on the road in the distance, driving a carriage and slowly driving towards the village.
"Who could it be at such a late hour?" Li Ergou wondered.
Suddenly seeing such a strange old man, Li Ergou and the fat man both stopped, ready to wait for the carriage to come over, and then take a closer look.
But the moment the carriage passed by, they all couldn't help but gasp.
The horse, except for the hair, was all transparent, and the muscles, blood vessels and other tissues of the whole body were all clearly visible.
The old man in the carriage was also very strange, the left half of his body was full of blood, like a young man in his twenties, but the right half of his body was extremely withered, and only skin and bones remained.
Li Ergou was directly stunned, and even forgot to give way to the carriage.
"Brother Ergou, get out of the way!"
Seeing this, the fat man hurriedly pulled Li Ergou by the hand, and then avoided the carriage dangerously.
And the old man, as if he hadn't seen Li Ergou and them, drove the carriage straight into the village.
Li Ergou came back to his senses, and suddenly felt a strong coldness, and his body shivered involuntarily.
He glanced at the carriage with trepidation, and then realized that a large box had been pulled on the carriage, and the box was covered with a red cloth.
Although I don't know what is in the box, it always gives people an extremely cold feeling.
Li Ergou stared at the strange old man driving the carriage with the fat man until his figure completely disappeared from sight.
"Brother Ergou, do you know him?" The fat man asked Li Ergou.
Li Ergou nodded first, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, it looks a bit like the second grandfather of our village." ”
The second grandfather's full name is "Liu Zhongyi", because he ranks second in the family, so Li Ergou has called him the second grandfather since he was a child.
Speaking of the second grandfather, his popularity in the village is not very good.
The reason is that he has a withdrawn personality and likes to be alone, and gradually, he is marginalized.
It's just that the situation just now was special, and the strange old man was not a human or a ghost, and Li Ergou was not sure that the person driving the carriage must be the second grandfather.
"Fat man, do you know what is in that box on the carriage?" Li Ergou said curiously.
The fat man shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's not a good thing anyway, when the carriage passed by, I only felt a chill in my heart." ”
Even the fat man feels cold, so I'm afraid it's not that simple.
After returning home, Zhou Yun had already slept, and Li Ergou did not find the third uncle.
In the whole yard, only Li Ergou's grandfather was left sitting there, smoking a dry cigarette alone, and after seeing Li Ergou and them come back, he also got up and went back to the house.
"Fat man, you should rest early, if there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow."
After Li Ergou said hello to the fat man, he returned to his room.
He lay in bed, but he couldn't sleep.
Li Ergou never understood why paper people and paper horses could have so much ability? There is also the horse with a transparent body, and the appearance of a strange old man who is neither human nor ghost.
Is that strange old man the second grandfather?
Why is the right half of his body withered, but the left half so young?
The more Li Ergou thought about it, the more headache he felt, so he simply ignored it and slept with his head covered.
Early the next morning, Li Ergou was still sleeping when he was woken up by a rapid knock on the door.
Li Ergou got up and opened the door to take a look, and found the village chief Liu Hui standing at the door with an anxious face.
Seeing that it was Li Ergou who opened the door, he hurriedly asked, "Ergou, is your grandfather here?" ”
"Yes, Uncle Hui, is something wrong?" Li Ergou asked.
"Alas, something strange has happened in the village, tell your grandfather to get up and go with me to see." The village chief said with a sigh.
Li Ergou began to be curious, what is the strange thing that can make the usually steady village chief anxious like this?
"Ah Hui, what's wrong?"
The village chief's voice was too loud, and Li Ergou was just about to enter the house to call his grandfather, and he had already come to the door.
"Uncle Zhong, there is a problem with the ancestral hall, the construction team dug up a bunch of snakes there this morning, and one of them is about to turn into a dragon, you can go with me to have a look."
As soon as the village chief saw his grandfather, he said anxiously.
Grandpa is in Wolong Village, it can also be said that he is highly respected, and he is the same generation as the eldest grandfather, and he is very respected by the villagers.
The reason why the village chief came to him was also because he liked his grandfather's experience.
"Okay, I'll go with you now."
Grandpa was also dry, smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth, and went out with the village chief.
As soon as they walked on the front foot, Li Ergou entered the fat man's room on the back foot.
The fat guy is really big-hearted, the village chief has been noisy at the door for so long, but he still slept soundly, and even snored.
"Fat man, get up quickly, something strange has happened in the ancestral hall in the village, do you want to go and see?" Li Ergou shook the fat man a few times and said.
Unexpectedly, the fat man sat up all of a sudden: "Ah, Brother Ergou, what ancestral hall, what strange thing?" ”
Maybe it's the wrong posture when sleeping, and the fat man's hair is all messy, just like a chicken coop.
Li Ergou originally wanted to laugh at him, but when he thought of the ancestral hall, he couldn't help it, and told him what the village chief had just said to him.
When he heard that the ancestral hall had dug up a snake and that there was a dragon about to turn into a dragon, the fat man couldn't sit still.
He washed up casually and went out with Li Ergou.
Originally, Li Ergou wanted to call the third uncle, but after going to the third uncle's room, he found that the bedding on the bed was neatly folded.
Obviously, the third uncle didn't come back last night.
Moreover, calling him is also turned off.
Li Ergou asked his mother Zhou Yun, who also didn't know where the third uncle went.
Li Ergou was almost accustomed to the elusive situation of the third uncle, so he didn't care too much.
The ancestral hall of Wolong Village is located at the east end of the village, and many years ago, it was already the ancestral hall of the Liu family.
Recently, the Liu family wanted to renovate it, so they invited a construction team.
This is also the direct reason why the snake was dug up today.
Li Ergou and the fat man walked all the way towards the ancestral hall, and when they passed by the second grandfather's house, he couldn't help but glance into the courtyard.
But this glance made Li Ergou's entire nerves tense.
"Fatty, look, the box covered with red cloth on the carriage is the one we saw at the entrance of the village last night?"
