Hearing that the ashes in his hand were grabbed, Li Xiaofeng was so frightened that he exclaimed quietly, and hurriedly scattered it back on the ground, clapping his hands constantly, for fear that there would be residues on his hands, he raised his head and said with some complaint in his tone: "Sixth brother, why didn't you tell me if you knew it was ashes." ”

Liuzi looked at Li Xiaofeng, but was amused by his panicked appearance, but smiled slightly, and replied: "I didn't let you touch it!" ”

Li Xiaofeng finally calmed down, carefully checked his hands, for fear that there would be any residue, Liuzi waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go back." After hearing this, Li Xiaofeng hurriedly followed the sixth son, and looked back at the ashes that had been piled up like a small mountain bag from time to time, and he couldn't help but feel palpitations.

The two returned to the guard room, and the sixth son picked up the registration form on the table and said to Li Xiaofeng: "Our job is very simple, there are vehicles entering and leaving during the day, just register, guard this door after work, and don't let anyone in." ”

Li Xiaofeng blurted out, "Then what if there is someone who wants to go out?" ”

Liuzi raised his head and looked at Li Xiaofeng, and said meaningfully: "If there is someone who wants to go out at night, just open the door, don't ask more." ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded lightly, and secretly thought to himself that he had asked a stupid word again, this is all off work, who else will go out of it, if there is, then it is not a "ghost", how dare he care! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder again.

Li Xiaofeng saw that the sixth son was sitting on the chair and had nothing to say, he thought about it, and then stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Sixth brother, it looks quite gloomy here, you have been here for three years, and you haven't encountered any supernatural things?" ”

Liuzi turned his head, looked at Li Xiaofeng with straight eyes, and said coldly, "What do you want to ask?" ”

Li Xiaofeng was looked at by the sixth son, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so he replied: "No... No, I'm just curious, just ask. ”

Liuzi turned his head and whispered: "If you have been in this kind of place for a long time, you will definitely encounter some evil things, but if you think about it carefully, it's nothing, isn't it good for me?" Just don't scare yourself. After speaking, Liuzi stood up, looked at Li Xiaofeng and continued: "I didn't sleep all night last night, I'll go in and take a nap, you can take a look here, if you don't know anything, come and call me." With that, he went straight into the inner room, closed the door with his hand, and after a while, the deafening snoring of the six sons came from the inner room.

Li Xiaofeng also sat on the chair like the sixth son, and looked out of the window from the glass window, indeed as the sixth son said, there are very few things here, and in the whole afternoon, a funeral car came in and sent a corpse; Seeing that the time was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, there was nothing to do.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, it should be the time for other people here to get off work, and I saw more than a dozen people walking out of the two buildings one after another, as if no one wanted to stay here for even a minute longer. Li Xiaofeng hurriedly got up and watched, he silently counted in his heart, there are about ten people working here, including one or two women, because they have missed the time of the last train, most of the colleagues are carpooling away, and after the people basically left, the entire compound became more empty, and only two funeral home corpse trucks were parked in the corner.

After a while, the sky began to slowly darken, the Qingshan funeral home looked even more deserted and weird, Li Xiaofeng's stomach suddenly began to "coo", he just remembered that today from noon to now he is a rice has not entered, and now he is so hungry that his heart is close to his back, at this time the voice of the sixth son also stopped, and after a while, he walked out of the back room, stretched his waist, looked at the sky outside the window, and said to Li Xiaofeng: "Well... It's all this time! ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded, and then asked, "Sixth brother, didn't you say that you would provide food and lodging?" Where are you going for dinner? I'm starving! ”

As soon as Li Xiaofeng's words fell, the sixth son laughed out loud and said, "What do you want?" At this time, the 'ghost' will cook for you, huh? Liuzi suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly slapped himself on the mouth, and continued: "Hey... Misspoken! Only Chinese food is provided here, which is made by nearby villagers, and you just missed the meal when you came, and this meal will have to be solved by yourself in the evening. ”

Li Xiaofeng looked out of the window again, now it was basically dark outside the house, except for the dim light on the big iron door, it was already dark in the distance, he turned to the sixth son and asked embarrassedly: "Sixth brother... But how can I fix it? It doesn't seem like there's even a store out there. ”

The sixth brother also looked out the window, sighed and turned around and went into the back room, and after a while, he took out a box of instant noodles, handed it to Li Xiaofeng and said, "This instant noodles will be given to you first, I'll go home and eat, you are on a night shift tonight, and I haven't been home for a few days." ”

"Sixth brother, you... You want to go back? Li Xiaofeng suddenly looked very nervous, this is only the first day of work, do you want him to come to this night shift? His heart suddenly became extremely worried.

Liuzi looked at Li Xiaofeng, his tone softened, and he said comfortingly: "It's okay, just stay in this guard room and don't go out, there's nothing to be afraid of, just go back to the back room to sleep later." ”

Li Xiaofeng still felt very nervous in his heart, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Liuzi stared at Li Xiaofeng and said slowly, "Could it be that you are really so scared?" Looks like you're not going to be able to adapt to this job. ”

Liuzi's words were like a slap in the face to Li Xiaofeng, if he hesitated again, he would lose the job if he didn't do it well, so he didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and replied repeatedly: "Six... Sixth brother, where is it? I can, I'm just worried that you'll go back alone, and it's dark on the road... Insecurity. ”

Liuzi saw that his agitation method had worked, and he felt a burst of joy in his heart, so he waved his hand and said: "Sixth brother, I grew up in this land when I was a child, and I walked a lot at night, how could it be unsafe?" After that, he directly opened the door of the guard's room and prepared to leave, just leaned out half of his body, turned his head back again, and said: "There is hot water in the pot in the back room, for you to use instant noodles!" If you're really scared, just hide in the house and don't come out, the 'ghosts' can't do anything to you. After that, as soon as he closed the door and left, Li Xiaofeng looked at the back of Liuzi gradually walking away from the glass window, and the inexplicable sense of fear in his heart began to slowly gather, especially the last sentence of Liuzi before leaving, "'Ghosts' can't do anything to you", which seemed to be comforting, but actually made Li Xiaofeng feel uneasy, what does this sentence mean? Could it be that there are really "ghosts" here?

Li Xiaofeng immediately shook his head and patted his face vigorously to sober himself up from his fear, a situation that he would have to face sooner or later, unless he planned to quit his job. He began to hum a little song to give himself courage, and took out hot water from the back room to soak the noodles, anyway, what was more terrifying than the "ghost" at the moment was hunger!

A bowl full of instant noodles in his stomach, Li Xiaofeng's body was a little more comfortable, but when he looked at his phone, it was only eight o'clock in the evening, pinching his fingers, there were still twelve hours before tomorrow morning's shift, and in an instant, Li Xiaofeng's satisfaction vanished, how should he spend the next ten hours or so?

He turned on his mobile phone, but only to find that there was no 4G signal here, and the mobile phone signal was so weak that he couldn't even open an ordinary web page, Li Xiaofeng looked at the mobile phone that kept spinning in circles, and couldn't help but sigh, and threw the mobile phone directly on the table.

He sat like this for a while, the time seemed to have passed for a year, he picked up the mobile phone on the table again, and saw that only ten minutes had passed, he opened the address book and wanted to call a friend, but he turned the phone from beginning to end and found that he didn't know who to call, and the only good friend was also an unreliable master, calling him at this time, he was lucky not to tell some ghost stories, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh again, and put the phone back on the table.

Li Xiaofeng straightened up and looked out the window, it was dark outside, he could only see the big iron gate in the dim light, the red brick house was no longer clear, he could only see the outline vaguely, it was terrifyingly quiet outside, although it was the height of summer at this time, but there was not even the sound of cicadas chirping outside, Li Xiaofeng gasped, this place is really like hell, can he really stay here? He was thinking about it, when suddenly the phone on the table rang, and the cold sound really scared Li Xiaofeng, he picked up the phone, the caller ID was his mother, his heart suddenly became warm, he quickly connected the phone, and his mother's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaofeng, we saw the note, have you arrived at the place?" How about a new job? ”

Li Xiaofeng hesitated with his mobile phone, he still didn't dare to tell his mother his true situation, so he could only answer in a daze: "Everything is fine, stay... After his mother finally hung up the phone, he felt for the first time that his mother seemed to be less annoying, and his heart became a little more relaxed.

But as soon as I looked up!! Li Xiaofeng let out a scream of "ah"! The sound could be heard far away in the silent night, but how could anyone come to pay attention to it at this moment. Li Xiaofeng was so frightened that he staggered back a few steps, and didn't stop until his body was close to the wall behind him, if it weren't for the wall, I am afraid that he would have already weakened his legs and fell to the ground.

I saw a pale, skinny old man lying on the window with his hands, his eyes looking directly at Li Xiaofeng in the room, his hands like dead wood. Li Xiaofeng was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head again, just held his head with both hands and shouted loudly to himself!

After a long time, Li Xiaofeng finally calmed down, he slowly raised his head and looked at the glass window!! But the old man outside the window was gone, Li Xiaofeng took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and slowly walked towards the window...
