Back at Yu Wenshi's house, Ji Yayun asked me: The account has been recovered? I said I took it back.

She didn't ask me what it was, she just said it was worth the money.

Seeing that she frowned slightly, as if she had something on her mind, I asked her what she was thinking.

Ji Yayun told me that in fact, she came back from the post station a little later than me this time, otherwise, according to her biological clock, she would have gotten up a long time ago.

That is, as soon as I left the post station with my front foot, the old man Li Jikang suddenly turned around on the stairs and said a word to her.

I asked curiously, "What did he say?" ”

Ji Yayun's brows frowned even tighter: "He didn't seem to remember it suddenly, and he didn't know what he said, so he only said that the account of 'Yaksha' should not be completely settled." ”

I listened to the clouds and felt my belly drumming, so I said:

"The Nakshatra affair is almost over, and if there is really a little omission, it may not matter much. I ate too much at noon last week, and I didn't eat much at night, is there any breakfast at his house? ”

Ji Yayun said: "I'll leave it for you, cook the noodles, and use last night's leftovers as toppings." ”

Shi Fatzi came out of nowhere, rubbed his stomach and said:

"Folding noodles, good things, listen to you, I'm also a little hungry, thank you, let's get a bowl for me."

Seeing that Ji Yayun obviously didn't know what to say, I laughed and said:

"The folding basket is the leftover dish of the banquet, which is the earliest saying in the Northeast. You just cook the noodles a little harder, fold the leftovers together and stew them to make toppings. ”

Just because the fat man's belly naan is too spacious, it should have been a very hearty meal, but I ended up eating half full.

The fat man drank the noodle soup, wiped his mouth, and said:

"Just now, someone from Zhao He's family came and said that the car was repaired for us, but the battery was aging, and it was not stored and the battery was replaced. What's going on with us now? Huh? ”

"Why don't you go back? Could it be that you still want to go to the old man's market and ask people about the mourner? ”

I asked Ji Yayun where the matter went.

Ji Yayun said: "The old man originally wanted to accompany his wife, but before you came back, the people of the Zhao family called him to take charge. ”

I was about to say, then let's go to Zhao's house, ask about things in person, and give Zhao He the money for car repair by the way. As soon as the words came to his mouth, Zhao He suddenly ran in in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he said breathlessly:

"Oh no, something happened!"

Seeing that his head was sweating, but his face was pale, I suddenly had a bad premonition: "What's wrong?" Take your time. ”

Zhao He gasped twice, and said anxiously: "Something happened in the mourning hall, and my father-in-law's body was replaced!" ”

"What? The body was replaced? At this time, the fat man and Dou Dabao also came over.

Zhao He grabbed me and said, "Yu Ye said that you are doing things for others, and I want me to invite you over quickly!" ”

I said, "Okay, let's go." ”

I asked Ji Yayun to stay with Sang Lan and take care of Mrs. Yu first. Li Chuang was going to follow, but somehow, when he heard me say this, he shrank aside.

On the way, I saw that Zhao He, the master, was unstable as if he had stepped on cotton, and I didn't rush to ask him what was going on. When he arrived at his house, he saw that the courtyard was full of men, women, and children, but no one went in.

Zhao He opened the road first, and it was easy to squeeze into the door, and he saw Yu Wenshi across the courtyard, and paced back and forth under the eaves outside the mourning hall.

When he saw us coming, he didn't greet us when he asked about things, and beckoned us over.

After only a few steps, Shi Fatzi suddenly pulled me and whispered in my ear: "This is not right, if you want me to see, let's not get involved." ”

This purebred foodie, I drank morning wine when I was eating noodles just now, I was so smoked by the taste in his mouth that I frowned, and I avoided it a little later, and I was about to ask him what he meant, when I saw him squint and make a look in one direction.

When I looked into his eyes, my heart jerked.

Across the courtyard wall on the left, there was a big crooked neck tree outside, and on the highest branch of that tree, there was a person hanging from it!

I didn't move on the surface, and I just asked the fat man not to say much.

Entering the mourning hall, Yu Wenshi raised his hand and pointed to the door panel of the mortuary, and said in a deep voice:

"This is Yao Si, who is also a person from the village, the corpse of the family is gone."

According to local custom, during the wake, the deceased must avoid the three lights. In fact, this is a common rule in most places.

So, when we came yesterday, we saw the body covered from head to toe with a quilt.

At this moment, the quilt was half lifted, and looking at the appearance of the dead body, and the old man who took our car before, it was obviously not a person!

When he asked what was going on, there were many things, and there was no confusion in the matter, and he whispered to us:

"Originally, I didn't have to be there today, but someone from my family suddenly came and said that the everlasting light in the mourning hall had gone out, and I was asked to come and make amends. If you want to say that the lights are out, it is not necessarily a big deal, after all, people come and go, and the northwest wind jumps, and it is not possible to extinguish it. It's no wonder that I did something again according to the old rites, but the lamp couldn't be lit!

I knew there must be something here, so when I asked my family, I just said that there was nothing special, and I had to start with the corpse as a last resort. As a result, when I lifted the quilt, I found that the body had been changed! If it's not the owner, if it is parked in the house of the family, the lamp will naturally not be lit. ”

Seeing that I was just silently inspecting the corpse, Zhao He couldn't help but stomp his feet and said:

"Fourth Uncle Yao was still eating at my house last night, why is this all for today! Who killed a thousand knives to do this deserved thing?! To know who did it, I have to fight with him! ”

I asked, "Did the deceased have any family?" ”

Zhao He glanced at Yu Wenshi, lowered his voice and said:

"Yes, his son and daughter-in-law are in the village, and he is a drunken putty, no, he drank too much last night, and the whole village was alarmed at this point, so he didn't come. I guess the wine hasn't woken up yet. Besides...... People are dead, and the corpse is stopped at my house, if you don't find it clear, the family is here, how can I explain it to others? ”

As he spoke, he had already carefully looked at the upper body of the corpse. Thinking of the 'man' hanging from the big tree outside, after a little hesitation, he went to lift the quilt.

As soon as he opened it, the fat man gasped: "Mother, why is it him!" ”

Dou Dabao exclaimed: "Woe, be careful!" ”

In fact, I didn't need him to remind me, I was already aware of the abnormality.

Because just when the fat man was startled, the dead body suddenly moved!

As soon as Dou Dabao spoke, I had already turned around suddenly, pinched the magic seal with one hand, and pressed against the corpse's forehead.

Although he knew what was going on, when he looked at it, he was still so frightened that his scalp exploded.

The corpse had already sat up, and although I had resisted it in time, it was still stretching out its hands, trying to fight up.

The corpse's eyes were not closed in the first place, and now the eyes were even more bloodshot, and the bulging eye bubbles were full of resentment without the slightest hint of humanity.

What's even worse is that under the condition of being restrained by my use of the Fa Yin, the nails on the hands of the dead corpse are still stretching at a speed visible to the naked eye!
