Grimace and I glanced at each other, and then we drove over in the carriage, when someone came up and asked what we were doing and how we got here.

The interrogator looked to be about thirty years old, but between the words, I saw that he had a sense of sophistication, and he looked at me and grimaced with a wary expression.

I thought it was me and Grimace, which is why he looked at us with a wary face, so I explained to him with a smile.

Hearing that we were passing through this place and coming to this village to stay overnight, the middle-aged man stretched his eyebrows and refused to give us a bow, which can be described as polite and courteous.

The middle-aged man led us to the front of the crowd, and the people around us looked at me and Grimace, and their eyes were not curious, as if they didn't care.

Grimace and I were taken to the kitchen, especially Grimace, when he saw the food in the kitchen, he drooled, especially when he saw the meat on the table, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes widened.

The middle-aged man pursed his lips and smiled when he saw the grimace of his clothes and the appearance that he hadn't eaten for eight hundred years, and then said, "You guys can eat here, I hope you forgive me for not being well treated." ”

After saying that, he walked out, and Grimace was already holding a big bowl of rice and began to devour it, and I was quite speechless, this guy was unreasonable and unrestrained, as if he was in his own home.

But I also understand this guy, after all, it's tiring enough to follow me every day. And in this year, eating and drinking is a problem that every household is worried about, and ordinary people can eat meat twice a year, which is already considered a blessing.

So I also understand the way Grimace eats and drinks.

I just took a few bites of food, and I felt that I couldn't eat, not because I was a picky eater, not because I wasn't hungry or uncomfortable, but because I was hungry and wanted to eat.

The reason is the crying sound coming from the next room, just now when I looked at the grimace eating, I didn't pay attention to this problem, but at this time, I was holding the dishes and chopsticks, and I hadn't swallowed a mouthful of food, and the cry was like a miserable death.

Curious, I walked to the door, through the crack in the door, I took a look, this place seems to be a hall, there are many people around here, in the center is an old man and an old woman, they look like they are about seventy or eighty.

The two old men hugged their heads and cried, crying so much that they were sad.

I moved my gaze to the side again, and there was a woman lying next to me, a private person to be exact, just entering the museum to collect the funeral.

The deceased was dressed in white, and I looked at her figure and felt familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere.

I thought about it carefully, and suddenly the female ghost I saw last night flashed in my mind, and the two of them were too similar.

I was shocked, this is really a coincidence, right? Could it be that my dreams have come true?

I looked away a little more, and I happened to see her face, the woman was still very beautiful, with thin willow eyebrows, long eyelashes, and red lips, as if she was asleep.

It's not what a dead person should look like.

The cries of the two old men were still ringing, as if they were a sad hollow cry that pierced the sky. The saddest thing in this world is that the white-haired man sends the black-haired man, listening to the old man's crying, I also know that the girl who died is their daughter.

When his daughter died, how could he not be painful?

I sighed to myself and walked back.

But as soon as I walked to the stove, I was stunned by the scene in front of me.

"Hey~~~"

Seeing my eyes widen and full of incredulity, Grimace quickly stuffed food into his mouth and smiled awkwardly.

This guy is too good to eat, right?

I just went over to take a look, but in a short time, this guy actually swept away a large pot of meat, and there were not many vegetables left.

I can't understand how this guy can eat so much, I haven't seen him eat so fiercely and so well when I was in the inn before.

I even took a knife out and peeled away Grimace's belly to see how big his belly was and how big it was to be able to eat so much.

I ate a few bites haphazardly, but I didn't eat any more, because Grimace had finished the dishes. At this time, I even thought what would I do if a middle-aged man from someone came in and saw us eating so much of their stuff?

Where will my face go?

Why don't you give them a little money, which is considered this food money? But this hurts people's self-esteem too much, and they are not afraid of us eating when they let us eat, but he probably didn't expect that we would eat so many things.

I'm really worried about anything.

I really thought about it, the middle-aged man walked in, he still barely smiled when he came in, but when he saw that all the dishes had been swept away by the two of us, even the rice was left, the smile on his face that was not very bright instantly stiffened on his face.

After a long time, he reacted and said, "Are you two satisfied with eating?" ”

I was asked this question, and my face was blue and red. How should I answer him? Can you say that you don't eat well? Actually, I didn't eat anything, but I didn't eat well.

But can I say that after eating so many things from other people, the middle-aged man is afraid that he is scolding the two of us for being pigs.

"Are you two going to rest?"

Seeing that I didn't finish blushing for a long time, the middle-aged man smiled, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

There are dead people here, and we are already causing trouble, so I dare to say that I will watch it for a while before going to sleep, so I have to say that he can arrange it.

He immediately arranged for me and Grimace to go to sleep, and the place where we slept was also this old man's house, in the back room, and there were two rooms between them and the corpse.

When I walked into the room, I immediately felt a fresh fragrance, and I looked around, and it was obviously a woman's room.

"You two, it's going to be one night today!"

After speaking, the middle-aged man walked out, I still want to ask if this is a little inappropriate, after all, it is a girl's room, we two big men sleep here, and there is no bath and the smell of sweat or something is so inconvenient.

But when he saw that the middle-aged man had already walked out, he swallowed back the words that he had spit in his throat.

I wondered if this was my daughter's room, and no one would come to stay at night.

"Well, it's so comfortable, this bed is much more comfortable than those inns, and there's a smell of it, so you can have a good dream."

The grimace didn't say a word, he took off his shoes and fell on the bed, with a beautiful expression, I really don't know what this guy is thinking.

"I'm afraid that the two of us won't be able to sleep in this room!"

I squinted slightly, but when the grimace saw me say this, he didn't understand what I said, and asked me what I meant, why I couldn't sleep.

"This could be the dead girl's room."

My mind remembered the girl's face, and I remembered what I had experienced last night, the woman I saw, the woman who was going to trample me to death with the soles of her feet.

And the ghost shopkeeper told me today, this room, we are afraid that we can't sleep.

"So what, although the deceased is a pity and a sad thing, but the two of us are good people, and she will not be difficult for us."

The grimace didn't matter, he turned his back and fell asleep, and after a while he began to snore.

I muttered to myself, "Don't even think of waking him up when this man is asleep."

Besides, on what grounds should I go to that middle-aged man to change our room? Coming here is already a harassment to them, and I have to make some unreasonable demands, but I am afraid that people will drive me out in a while.

After a struggle, I finally relented, and I didn't sleep well last night, and my upper and lower eyelids felt like a fight.

The slippers fell on the bed, and in a moment I fell asleep with the snoring of grimaces.

This time I slept more deadly, and in the middle of the night, I heard a commotion outside, a very strong noise.

I also heard someone shouting for help, it was loud.

I immediately sat up and pushed my face, this guy was still sleeping very well at this time, I called him a few words, and he didn't pay attention to me.

I'm speechless about this guy, and if I want to wake him up, I'm afraid I'm going to have to set this place on fire.

I cursed, got up and put on my shoes to see what was going on outside, and the noise was getting louder and louder.

With my shoes on, I took three steps and two steps, and when I rushed outside, there was no one outside.

It was eerily silent outside, and every now and then a dark wind blew, and when it swept over my face, it felt like my whole face had been pricked by pins.

"Am I hallucinating?"

I scratched my head suspiciously, I felt that this thing was really strange, the voice just now happened so real, real, why did I come out, but there was no shadow here?

I looked down and turned around, but as soon as I turned around, I saw a pair of feet in white shoes in front of me.

The feet, not on the ground, were suspended in the air, about twenty centimeters from the ground.

I'm trembling with fear, what the hell is this again?

I raised my head slightly, and it was no one else in front of me, it was the face of the dead girl, who looked at me gently, without breathing or heartbeat.

"It's a corpse!"

I felt like my head was going to grow big, and I yelled and turned to run, but as soon as I turned around, the people behind me immediately closed, and I still couldn't open the door.

"Clear my name, avenge me!"

Chapter 184: Light the Ghost Lamp

I slammed the door open, and the girl's voice came from behind me. I was immediately stunned when I heard this, what did she mean by this, could it be that she was killed by someone?

I wasn't so scared in my heart anymore, and I listened to her because she asked for me, not because she wanted to harm me.

So I turned around to ask for an answer, but as soon as I turned around, I was not faced with the dead girl, but with an old man, and this man was really the old man who was crying today.

"Are you going to the latrine?"

The old man looked at me, with no extra expression on his face, walked up to me, pulled the latch on the door, and looked at me strangely.

I felt red at the time, it was too embarrassing for such a thing to happen, the door latch was inserted, and I was so open for a long time, I couldn't open the door.

I nodded awkwardly, turned around and walked outside, only to realize that I was a little panicked. The old man said to go out and turn left from behind.

To be honest, at this time, I was even afraid of meeting that girl again after I got to the latrine, and I wanted to solve it on the spot.

But this is in someone's place, and it is very immoral to do this, so I still have the courage to go to the latrine, and fortunately I didn't see the girl again this time.

When I came back, I saw the old man sitting there guarding the corpse and wiping his tears alone, I don't know why, at this time there was no fear in my heart, no fear, only sadness and sympathy.

I went into the house, and I even went up to the girl's body and took a closer look, she looked very beautiful, her face flushed, not at all like the face of a dead person, as if she were asleep.

"Old man, how did this girl go?"

I remembered the scene just now, and she said to me that I should find out for her and avenge her, and these words were definitely not my illusions.

Maybe he really came to me just now.

"The person is gone, my heart is broken, my heart is as painful as a knife, why are you still asking this!"

Hearing my words, the old man instantly cried again.

"Old man, I won't tell you, I also have some skills, and I am usually good at solving cases and the like. Today we had a meal at your house, and we want to repay the favor of this meal. Just now I had a dream in which a girl asked me to find out her grievances and avenge him. I took a closer look, it was the dream that your daughter had entrusted to me. ”

I said that I made up all this nonsense to investigate the case, and as for seeing the girl, I also changed it to a dream for him.

Not to mention, when I said this, the old man really believed me, and he didn't know if he was too sad or what, so he immediately took my hand and asked me if it was true.

I immediately nodded and told him that it was true, it was true.

To be honest, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with me, but seeing the old people crying so sadly, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart, and this girl also asked me to help her take revenge.

A dead man's entrustment, she must have believed that I could do it before she told me, how could I bear to refuse?

Another reason is that we stayed here today, and we ate so many meals, and people were sad and sad and didn't refuse us, so how could I bear not to help?

"Then I'll tell you about it!"

The old man wiped his tears and recalled with a bitter face, the memories were sad, and for a while, he became a tearful man again.

It turned out that tomorrow was the girl's wedding day, and on the day of leaving the cabinet, the old grandfather asked her to go to the old village chief's house to invite the old village chief over to discuss the specific matters for tomorrow.

But who knew that the girl would not come for a long time as soon as she went, and the old grandfather felt that this matter was a little strange, so he went to the old village chief to ask what the situation was, but who knew that the old village chief told him that the girl did not go to their house at all.

Hearing this, the old man had a premonition, so he mobilized the people in the village to help find someone, and it was best to find the girl under a pile of bone grass, when the girl's clothes were disheveled and she was no longer breathing.

It was killed by someone.

Hearing this, I walked up to the girl's body again, and his face was still so kind, and there were no scratches or any other injuries on his arms.

I wanted to put it misanthropic or something, but it was disrespectful to the dead, and I was afraid that the old man would not agree to me, so I had to give up the idea.

But I'm weird, didn't the old man say that the girl was killed by someone? Why isn't there a little scar? There is also a girl's expression, there is no pain at all, and she looks like a sleeping beauty.

I'm a woman, and if it's a man I don't want to have a relationship with, then I'm going to struggle to die, and that's all too clear to me.

I'm afraid that the person who killed this girl is his fiancé or someone else he likes.

I'm just guessing, but I don't have a clue how to find out at this moment

Then I asked my grandfather why every house in this village has lanterns, and he told me that this is their custom here, but whenever someone dies, the lantern will be lit so that the deceased can see the way home.

This is also commonly known as lighting ghost lights.

The name sounds a little weird, but it's normal, after all, it's for lighting ghosts.

Then I asked the middle-aged man who greeted us today, he is the girl's fiancé, according to the old grandfather, he is a talented and learned person in this place, and his family background is good, and he also respects their father-in-law's family.

It's a pity that now that this daughter is dead, I can't help but have a bad reputation in my own family, and even the reputation of the man's family has also been ruined for him.

I think back to the scene I had with that man today, and it's no wonder that he was wary when he first saw us, wondering if we were murderers.

There are many mysteries that can be solved now, such as the middle-aged man's astonishment when he saw us eating, not so much that we had eaten so much of his food, but that we could eat so much.

And it's no wonder that he is more familiar with this old man's home environment, and at the time I guessed that he was the son of an old man here or something.

But some of them are strange, since the room we slept in was his fiancée's, why did he take us to sleep in that room? That's a taboo.

I then asked the old man if there were any other rooms here, but there were other rooms in his house, and he also told me that the room we slept in was his daughter's boudoir.

I always felt that this thing was too strange, why did that middle-aged man take us to his fiancée's room for us to rest?

Moreover, he seemed to be so calm that I hardly heard a single expression of lament and grief from him.

"Old lady, where is your son-in-law now?"

It dawned on me that this guy had a conspiracy.

"Go back to sleep, we are a village, not far from here!"

If that's the case, then why doesn't he keep a vigil here, although this girl hasn't passed the door yet, but as a fiancé, it's normal for him to keep a vigil here tonight, isn't it?

"When will the deceased be buried?"

"Tomorrow, the Taoist chief will come tomorrow to collect her spirit, and then she will be buried and buried."

When it came to the burial of his daughter, the old man became sad again.

"Let's set up a mourning hall for her for one more day, first, to comfort the deceased, and second, I want to use this night to find out the murderer."

The old man was surprised to hear my words, but then nodded.

I walked up to the corpse, looked at the corpse like a sleeping beauty, and whispered, "If you want me to help you find the murderer, you have to cooperate with me tomorrow night." ”

When the old man saw me like this, he was frightened, I don't know why he was like this, was he afraid?

Could it be that his own daughter would be afraid?

I didn't talk to him anymore and went back to my room to sleep, and nothing happened for the rest of the night, and I slept very comfortably.

The next day, Grimace woke up early, and I couldn't wake him up when I told him to kick him when he was asleep. But this guy made a lot of noise with me as soon as he got out of bed, telling me to get up and hurry up.

I gave him a blank look, and told him that I would rest for another day today, and if I didn't leave, I would talk about it tomorrow. This guy looked confused in reality, and then stretched his eyebrows, and said that I have taken a fancy to the wine and meat of this house, and I want to eat here for another day.

I'm speechless, what kind of theory is this, can you pursue a little higher, such as catching a ghost or something?

I ignored him, turned around and went back to sleep, and I slept until the evening.

After getting up, I had dinner, and the old man did set up a mourning hall for one more day according to my words, and said some sorry words to the local village celebrities.

The villagers also understood that the old man and the woman were uncomfortable, so naturally they didn't say anything.

When the evening came, according to the custom that the old man told me last night, the people in the village would come here to worship for an hour in the evening.

During this time, everyone in the village was there, and the murderer I suspected was in this village, especially the fiancé.

When the fiancé came, I glanced at him a few times, and saw that we hadn't left yet, so I was obviously stunned, but I still nodded and said hello.

He behaved normally, and I don't know if he had a strong psychological quality, or if this matter had nothing to do with him, so I couldn't see any flaws in him.

Seeing that everyone was almost over, the old man said a few words of thanks to the villagers, and the grandmother on the side also cried like a tearful person.

I saw that this was an opportunity, so I quietly walked up to the corpse and said, "You can get something weird out now, and I'll see how I can help you find out the facts." ”
