I stood still, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to wait.

I already have suspicions, and my eyesight is also very poor at this time, and if I open the door rashly, it is likely to lure the wolf into the house.

Although my shop is small, but there is a tablet enshrined in the store, since I was a child, the master took me to burn incense and worship, the master said, there is this tablet, the general cow ghost snake god does not dare to trespass without permission.

If Aunt Xiang outside is real, her mood will change when it comes to a critical moment, and it will not be too late to open it again.

When I was thinking like this, I suddenly found that there was no movement outside, and my heart suddenly followed, is she gone?

I tried hard to suppress the desire to open the door to find out, and after waiting for three or five minutes, the short silence seemed as long as a century to me, and my heart kept in my throat.

Then, Aunt Xiang's hysterical shouts suddenly sounded outside:

"Bai Li, open the door, open the door and let me in."

"I'm going in, let me in!"

"Open the door, open the door!"

She screamed and kicked the door, her voice as sharp as a fingernail cutting through glass, not like a normal person could come out at all.

In addition, although most of the shops in this ancient street hang up red lanterns and close their doors as soon as it gets dark, and go back to their lodgings elsewhere to rest, there are also people like me who live here at night, and it is impossible for no one to hear them.

This disturbing dream in the middle of the night will make you roar at some point, right?

But no, there was only Aunt Xiang's shouts from beginning to end.

Everything is telling me that Aunt Xiang may not be the Aunt Xiang of the day, but whether she was manipulated and lost her mind, or was bitten, I can't be sure.

This ...... I can't even open anything.

Wait, it's safe after three o'clock in the morning, and even if they don't let go at that time, my eyesight is restored, and I can go out and take a risk, and I can find a little bit of useful information.

Sure enough, as soon as three o'clock came, all the sounds outside were gone, and I held my breath and waited for a while, and no one knocked on the door again.

It wasn't until I lay back on the bed that I realized that my whole body had frozen into ice bumps, the right half of my body was numb, and I couldn't lift my right arm.

He got up again, walked to the tablet, lit a large handful of sandalwood and inserted it, and then went back to bed, hoping that the smell of incense would relieve the corpse.

I slept until nine o'clock, and when I woke up, I found that I couldn't cook at all, my whole right arm was black, I didn't feel the slightest sense, and my face was not good-looking.

Slowly put on the clothes, bring the money to the noodle shop across the road to eat a bowl of noodles, this breakfast shop is not busy, when the boss made noodles for me, the boss lady was there to talk to me: "Hey, Baili, have you caused trouble recently?" ”

"Huh? No, why do you ask? I subconsciously pulled up my sleeve and put my right hand under the table.

The proprietress frowned and said, "Last night, I heard a woman crying wolf at your door, and she screamed for a long time before leaving, is it okay?" ”

"You came out to see it?" I hurriedly asked, I didn't expect someone to hear Aunt Xiang crying and grabbing the ground last night.

The proprietress nodded: "That's not it, the neighbors have heard it, but your street, seriously, at night, the red lanterns of the water, and few families sleep there, it's quite gloomy, and we don't dare to go over, ah, don't be angry when I say this." ”

"You're telling the truth, did you see what the woman looked like last night? Is there anyone else around her? I continued, feeling a little uneasy in my heart.

"Your shop is at the end of the street, right in front of my store, and I looked down from the balcony on the second floor, and I saw a woman dressed in white, and then about three o'clock, she walked towards the other side of the street." The proprietress described it carefully.

No one else followed Aunt Xiang.

I thought of a lame excuse and prevaricated the proprietress over, and after eating noodles, I still went to Zhao Cripple's house.

It was Aunt Xiang who opened the door, although I was mentally prepared on the way here, but when I saw her, I was still startled.

She was pale, her eyes were hollow, she was wearing a snow-white filial piety dress, barefoot, looking at me fixedly, I opened my mouth to talk to her, but she turned around and went back to the room.

I followed her and saw her kneeling on the edge of the bed, and on the bed, the body of Zhao Cripple was lying upright, motionless, as if she was asleep.

The curtains were drawn, the light in the room was a little dim, the weather was not very hot, and the room was filled with a faint smell of corpses.

It's quiet and eerie.

I called 'Aunt Xiang', and she tilted her head to look at me, then turned her head away again, ignoring me, I don't know if she was angry that I didn't open the door for her last night, or if she simply didn't want to talk.

I stood there for a long time, confused in my head, not knowing what to do.

But no matter what, if Zhao Cripple's body is not disposed of, it will always be a heart disease, and his corpse will not be able to decay in the near future because of the invasion of corpse qi, who can help deal with it?

I don't know why, at this time, the first thing I thought of was not Yun Sheng, Mo Xianye's face suddenly crashed into my mind, and I shook my head violently to prevent myself from thinking cranky.

My body was affected by the corpse qi, and it was also very bad, and when I returned to the store, I was out of breath and could only lie down, and I fell asleep in a daze.

This sleep, dimly, when I woke up again, it was already dark, I picked up my phone to check the time, but I saw several missed calls, all of them were from Gu Xiaoxiao, and then there was a text message, which roughly said that the school had helped me take a week off, let me recuperate at home, and call her immediately if there was something, Grandpa Gu was also contacting friends to see if he could find a way to deal with Zhao Cripple's body.

After reading it, I smiled unconsciously, it's so good to have Gu Xiaoxiao's dead friend, I don't even dare to think that a few days later, when she found out that I died violently in the store, she would definitely cry miserably, right?

Thinking of this, I found a pen and paper and began to write a will, for Gu Xiaoxiao, for Yun Sheng, and one for me to be buried next to my master after I died, and the house was handled by Yun Sheng, etc., no matter how big or small, after all the things were written, my back hurt.

I made some food, I couldn't hold it anymore, and I climbed back into bed, I felt like a sick and dying person in my current state, and it took a lot of energy to move.

But what I didn't expect was that I slept until midnight, and with three knocks on the door, Aunt Xiang's terrible cry sounded again, calling my name constantly, asking me to let her in and let me save her.

I didn't want to open the door, but the words of the noodle shop proprietress and the scene I saw during the day made me sure that Aunt Xiang was still alive.

Maybe Zhao Cripple has changed his corpse, and he doesn't dare to come out during the day, and he gets up and bites people in the middle of the night, so Aunt Xiang will run to ask for help?

At that time, my body was so weak that my thinking skills had deteriorated, and my sensibility was far greater than my reason, so that I couldn't bear to think about it, and struggled to get up and open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Aunt Xiang's miserable white face immediately came into view, I reached out to pull her, and at the moment when I stretched out my hand, a black hand stretched out from inside the wide filial piety robe, and held my hand at once.
