Ever since Jiang Yifeng told me that he had also seen that little shadow, I have been thinking about the situation that night in my heart.

In fact, I was not poked for a long time that night, and the little shadow blew around me and poked me with something like a straw stalk, which seemed to mean that he didn't have much ill will towards me. It's not so much that he wants to do something to me, but that he's just joking around with me.

But why?

If that little shadow was a ghost, then why did he suddenly appear at Liu's house, and why did he find me that night? This question is a question that I can't figure out.

"Jiujiao, do you think that will be ......" Jiang Yifeng didn't finish his words, and I didn't understand what he meant, but I wanted to hear him continue, but he didn't say anything. It's just that I just thought about it, but the truth is definitely not like that.

He didn't want to say it, and I couldn't force him, so I had to fall into thought again.

There was no business for the next few days, and I took the opportunity to customize a tombstone for the old man who carved the tombstone, so I went to the town again. Min Min must follow me, there is nothing dangerous at all, so I will take her with me.

The night before I got back from town, something strange happened to me.

It was already late in the day, and it was not easy to get a ride back to the village, so I wanted to stay in town for another night and go back the next morning. But on the way to the hotel with Jiang Yifeng and Minmin, I met someone from a neighboring village.

To be exact, a family of three.

I know the man in it, and I have seen him more than once during the time I helped the Wu family with the funeral. Among the people who drove me out of the village with Wu Sanjin at the beginning, he was also one.

He was driving the ox cart behind, saw the three of us first, and then called out to me in the back.

When I turned around, I saw his family of three, and because it was a little dark, I didn't recognize him at first sight. He grabbed the ox cart, jumped out of it, and said to me, "Little coffin, don't you remember me?" I live in the village next to your village, and when you did white things for the Wu family, I went to help. ”

It was only after this reminder that I remembered him.

Immediately afterward, he invited me to the car, saying that he wanted to take the three of us back.

I hurriedly waved my hand and excused myself, saying that it was getting late, and persuaded them to stay in the town for one night before leaving.

The two of us tugged and pulled for a long time, but in the end, I still couldn't resist his enthusiasm and beckoned Jiang Yifeng and Min Min to get into the car together.

But when we sat down in the car, the child in the woman's arms suddenly burst into tears.

I was startled by the sudden cry of the baby and quickly got out of the car.

It's strange to say that as soon as I got out of the car, the child stopped crying.

The man who drove the car said that the child was probably hungry, but I don't think it would be that coincidental. By the very faint light of the street and the moonlight above my head, I looked closely at the infant child, but suddenly found that he was covered with a thick layer of yin.

This discovery frightened me, and I didn't dare to ride in his car anymore. Out of friendship, I wanted to tell the man who was driving the car, but I didn't know how to say it. After hesitating for a while, he spoke again: "I see that it is not early this day, and I am afraid that the child is also tired, in my opinion, you should still live in the town tonight." There is still a long way to go back, and the road is too bumpy, and the child may not be able to stand it. ”

The man told me that he was emphasizing that it would cost a lot of money to stay in town for one night, and that it was not safe. It's better to go back at night, and he knows the way back very well, often walks, and never has anything wrong.

I couldn't persuade him, so I had to give up. But when he invited me into the car again, I refused.

Seeing that he could no longer convince me, the man who was driving the car said goodbye to me, and drove on the road alone with his wife and children, seeing that he was about to rush back to the town overnight. As he turned to leave, I pulled a yellow talisman out of my pocket and secretly stuck it on his car.

At this time, Jiang Yifeng came up to me and asked, "Jiujiao, have you seen it?" There is also a small shadow on the child's body. Same as the one I saw that night...... Like! ”

As soon as he reminded me, I hurriedly turned my head to look.

But at this time, their family of three had already walked a distance, and I just wanted to see it, but I couldn't see it.

"Forget it." I said to Jiang Yifeng, "I just know him, not even a friend, and he may not trust me." Even if I told him now that his child might be demon-possessed, do you think he would believe me? I persuaded him to stay, but he refused, and if something really happened, it would be fate. ”

"But the kid cries when he sees you in the car, what's the sign?" Jiang Yifeng asked me.

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, maybe it was the cinnabar and rune paper I was carrying that that thing that scared that ghost, right?" However, the ancestors have long said: doctors do not knock on the door, the Tao is not lightly transmitted, and the law is not leaked. In fact, our line of work is similar, I am a coffin bearer, I can't easily go to other people's homes, and I can't come to the door because of some signs and say to others, your family is going to die, so prepare for the future. Even if I knew I was telling the truth, I couldn't do that. ”

"But isn't that just a shirking of responsibility?" Min Min asked suddenly.

I smiled and said to him, "I have asked my grandfather this question before, do you know how he told me?" ”

Hearing me mention my grandfather, even Jiang Yifeng's face became serious. I saw it and continued: "He said to me, 'This is life! Destiny can be measured, but it cannot be said. Because you don't know what kind of impact it will have on the Mandate of Heaven after you say it. Maybe the king of Hades wanted him to die in the third watch, and you told him to prepare early, but as soon as he tossed around, the second watch accidentally killed himself. So what the hell are you helping him? Or is it harming him? ”

"This can't be......" Jiang Yifeng obviously didn't believe it.

I looked back at the direction of the man just now, the other person was long gone, there was almost no other sound on the silent street, I whispered to Jiang Yifeng: "Let's just say that the man just now, let me make an analogy, if he really encounters danger on the way back, or even something bad happens." So, can you guarantee that I persuade him to stay, and that he will not be in any danger if he lives in the town? No one can say these things clearly. I advised him, but it was his choice to go back at night. Of course, I don't know exactly what to expect. However, I hope that he will not encounter anything. ”

That night, we stayed at the town's inn and waited until early the next morning to take the things we had bought in the town and take a ride back to the village. As for the stele that should be erected for Carpenter Liu, the old man who carved the stele told me that it would take a few days to make it. When the time comes, Jiang Yifeng and I will come to the town again, bring the monument back, and choose an auspicious day to erect a monument for Carpenter Liu.

After I went back, I also went to Liu's house to explain this matter to Liu Yunfeng, and also asked about the little shadow on the side.

Of course, I didn't say anything about that little shadow, but just followed the opportunity and mentioned a few words. Liu Yunfeng only said that since the last incident with the Yin Soldiers, there had been no supernatural things in their family.

But just as I was about to leave, he caught up from behind and told me that although there was nothing supernatural in his family, he heard that in the past two days, the Gu family, who I had helped with white affairs, seemed to have had another accident.
