Chapter 14: The Woman in Red

Due to the steep slope at the bottom of the mountain, coupled with Xiaobao's running too fast, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell hard halfway through, and rolled directly down the hillside.

Xiaomei behind her screamed in fright, and hurriedly trotted over from behind.

Maybe the temptation of those pastries in front of the tombstone is really great, or maybe it is that she wants to show her masculinity in front of Xiaomei, Xiaobao rolled from the hillside to the flat ground below the hillside, and didn't feel any pain at all, and stood up and ran to the grave alive.

When Xiaobao had already collected some of the sweets and pastries, Xiaomei came to his side panting.

"Brother Xiaobao, you scared me to death when you rolled down the mountain just now!"

Xiaomei flashed a pair of big watery eyes, stretched out her hand to pull the corner of Xiaobao's clothes, and looked frightened.

"I'm fine!" Xiaobao smiled innocently, handed the pastry in her arms to Xiaomei, took out a red candy from it and put it into her mouth: "You taste whether this candy is sweet or not." ”

"Well, that's sweet!" Xiaomei had a sugar cube in her mouth, and her big beautiful eyes had already smiled like a curved moon.

Seeing her so happy, Xiaobao was also happy, and the two of them swept away the food placed on the tombstone in front of them, and began to walk back and forth in front of the surrounding graves to see if there could be some unexpected gains.

Since today is the Qingming Festival, there are many people who go to the grave, and there are many tributes.

No, in less than a quarter of an hour, Xiaobao and Xiaomei have already harvested a lot.

The two were about to go home with the loot, but found a large black coffin abruptly lying not far away.

After Xiaobao saw this coffin, he felt very strange: why was this coffin left in the barren mountains and mountains and no one cared about it, under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be buried?

Xiaomei is not as bold as Xiaobao, after she saw this dark coffin, she pulled the corner of Xiaobao's clothes with some fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Xiaobao, let's go quickly!" I was a little scared. ”

Hearing her say this, Xiaobao also wanted to go back.

But as he walked, Xiaobao suddenly changed his mind, so he said to Xiaomei beside him: "Xiaomei, you wait for me here, I'll go over and see what's strange about the coffin." ”

"Brother Xiaobao.."

Xiaomei looked embarrassed and didn't finish her words, but she saw that Xiaobao had turned around quickly and ran directly in the direction of the coffin.

It didn't take long for Xiaobao to stand next to the coffin, and he judged from the dark and shiny color of the coffin that it was a brand new coffin.

However, the lid of the coffin did not seem to be fixed, not only revealing a small gap, but also faintly wafting out a faint fragrance of peach blossoms from inside.

Xiaobao shrugged his nose, obviously smelling the fragrance, holding the edge of the coffin with both hands, standing on tiptoe and staring inside.

But after all, there is still more than half of the coffin lid covering, which causes the light inside to be dark, so Xiaobao can't see it very clearly.

Who knew that just when he kept looking, the coffin lid actually slipped to the ground tilted without warning, and there was a muffled sound: "Bang! ”

This startled Xiaobao, flashed to the side like an electric shock, patted his chest weakly, and eased up for a while before coming up again.

This time, without the cover of the coffin lid, Xiaobao saw the situation inside clearly.

I saw a woman lying quietly in the coffin, this woman had fair skin and reddish cheeks, as if she was alive.

She was wearing an extremely bright red cheongsam, and a flower paper umbrella was placed beside her.

Red cheongsam? Flower paper umbrella?

Xiaobao rubbed his eyes, making sure that he was not mistaken, and his heart was horrified: Isn't this the woman I saw in my yard last night? How could she be lying here?

Did you meet a ghost yesterday?

For a moment, Xiaobao only felt that his scalp was numb and cold, and he was about to go back to inform Grandma Sun of the news, but unexpectedly, the woman who was lying quietly opened her eyes suddenly, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Xiaobao was startled and wanted to run away immediately, but found that his legs did not obey and wanted to shout loudly, but found that there was no sound in his throat at all.

I don't know if he was scared or hot, but he saw beads of sweat running down his cheeks, and the only thing he could do at the moment was to watch the woman crawl out of the coffin.

The woman stood in front of Xiao Bao, stretched out a white and tender palm, and was about to stroke his head, but was suddenly shocked by the jade pendant he wore around his neck.

At the same time, Xiaobao was shocked, and suddenly came back to his senses, and found that he was actually a little chilled on a hot day.

At this time, by chance, a few crows flew from the sky, and they cried twice, which scared Xiaobao so much that he sat on the ground, making him immediately pale.

Seeing this, Xiaomei ran over in a panic, helped him up, and said with a crying voice: "Brother Xiaobao, don't scare me, I'm really scared." ”

Until this moment, where did Xiaobao dare to stay here, holding Xiaomei's hand, and running along the same way.

But on the way home, Xiaobao found that the woman in red had been following behind them.

Noticing this situation, Xiaobao became even more anxious, and began to regret his reckless behavior just now, if he hadn't been reckless and had to go to see the coffin, how could he provoke this difficult woman in red.

But Xiaomei didn't know what he was thinking, gasping for breath, standing in place and bending over to say that she didn't run away, saying that she really had no strength.

To be honest, after running for so long, Xiaobao's situation is not much better than hers.

But as soon as he saw the strange woman in red behind him, Xiaobao couldn't help but gasp, took Xiaomei's little hand, and let her insist, saying that she would be home in a while.

Xiaomei pouted, looking very aggrieved, and asked him what he saw in the coffin just now, why did he scare him like this, and even trotted all the way home.

Xiaobao just wanted to tell her the truth, but she was worried about scaring her, and finally the words changed to her mouth: "I'm afraid that I will be scolded by my mother-in-law if I go back late." ”

"I see?"

Xiaomei looked suddenly enlightened, and then pulled the corner of his clothes and kept begging: "Brother Xiaobao, I really can't run, can I walk back slowly?" Even if I beg you! ”

Hi!

Xiaobao's heart softened, he sighed helplessly, and hurriedly bent down: "You come to my back, and I will carry you back." ”

"Brother Xiaobao, you are so good!"

Xiaomei was lying on Xiaobao's back and talking happily, but Xiaobao didn't have the heart to pay attention to this, and when she ran forward with all her strength, she didn't forget to look back and pay attention to the movements of the woman in red.
