Chapter 41: The lights go out when people die
It is recorded in the "Autumn Moon Eclipse List" that the black flesh of the ghost black seed can temporarily paralyze people's auditory nerves.
It can heat the person who eats it, in a short time, combined with everything around it, to produce auditory hallucinations.
Just now, when Tang Muzhou left the mourning hall and went back to the West Wing guest room to get the charger, I ate a few pieces of this ghost black biscuit.
In my memory, after eating that thing, I heard those gibble sounds.
Therefore, Tang Muzhou is not wrong at all.
Chances are, it was this black biscuit that caused temporary auditory hallucinations in my ears.
And at this moment, Tang Muzhou stared at the remaining few biscuits, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about something in his mind. At the same time, he was still muttering:
"It's really strange, this ghost black son is a species that became extinct many years ago, how can the An family still have this thing."
Tang Muzhou wondered why this fruit that had disappeared appeared in Anjia again.
But I had a different question on my mind:
Tang Muzhou said, since the flesh of this ghost black seed can make people have a bad reaction, why would Steward Hu give me and Tang Muzhou the biscuits made of this ingredient!
Was it an accident, or did someone do it on purpose?!
When I thought about this, I suddenly shuddered.
Looking back, I glanced at the picture of my aunt and grandmother, and I felt that behind her smiling face, there seemed to be a huge secret hidden.
This secret, about the An family, about the Dongshan Club.
I was thinking about it, when suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell, and a moment later, a thunderclap rang out from the hall behind me!
The hall lit up for a moment, and at the same time, I saw the fat cave bat, which was hanging upside down on the beam behind the Tang wooden boat, and its body was half a meter long!
The moment the thunder sounded, it spread its wings and flew down from the beam.
It flashed over our heads, and after lightning and thunder, it disappeared into the darkness again.
While the candle flame flickered, my aunt was still smiling.
At this moment of fear, Tang Muzhou suddenly pointed behind me and said, "Who are you?!" ”
I quickly turned around, only to see a red figure flash in a dim corner of the lobby behind me.
From the woman's figure, I could tell that she was the woman I had seen in front of my aunt's coffin.
I glanced at Tang Muzhou.
"You saw that too?"
"See."
"I'll just say I was right! You still don't believe it! ”
"Tang Xiaofan, now is not the time to argue about this!"
As he spoke, Tang Muzhou ran towards the place where the woman disappeared, standing alone in the mourning hall, looking at my aunt and grandmother's coffin, I was terrified, and I also ran over with Tang Muzhou.
In the corner where the woman disappeared just now, Tang Muzhou stopped.
In front of him was an ordinary cabinet, and when Steward Hu left, he told us that if we felt cold, there was a quilt in this cabinet that could be taken out to keep warm.
Next to the cabinet is the wall, and further inside is a deep passage.
It seems that the woman in red just now should have left from here.
We stood at the entrance of the passage and did not catch up.
I glanced into the passage, and saw that it was pitch black and unfathomable, so I asked Tang Muzhou: "That woman, who is she?" ”
"How do I know?"
This woman should not be the one who settles down.
When someone in the family died, how could they wear red clothes, wander around, and run to the mourning hall?
Could it be a thief?
No, this mourning hall is up, looking for something before, if you want to steal it, you can go to the master's bedroom to steal it.
This family has money, and those who have gold and silver treasures will definitely be hidden in the safe.
Hearing me say this, Tang Muzhou sneered:
"Tang Xiaofan, you really don't know, this thief is really smart."
"What do you mean?"
Tang Muzhou glanced back at his aunt's coffin: "Grandma is going to be buried, didn't I tell you about this?" ”
"yes, what's wrong with that?"
Tang Muzhou winked at me again: "Since it's a burial, there must be something left in the coffin, right?" ”
I understand.
These days, there are a lot of tomb robbery books on the Internet, and when I have nothing to do, I will flip through them casually. The Internet is a fast food, not for writing, but for being able to watch heartily.
The treasures of gold and silver in those coffins were no less than those in the safes.
Nowadays, with the prevalence of cremation, burial has been expressly prohibited.
Therefore, the industry of tomb robbing can be regarded as declining.
Those techniques for finding dragons and dividing gold only exist.
In these years, everything requires efficiency, if I am a thief, I am willing to start directly from the coffin that has not yet been buried, clean, and the key is not dangerous.
I said, "So, that woman was a thief?" ”
"It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, the key is that if it's really a thief, you have to be careful, we can't keep vigil for my cousin, but someone stole the things in my aunt's coffin."
When I heard this, my heart began to beat a drum, because I thought that the thief had stood in front of my aunt's coffin for a while.
Before Tang Muzhou came back, my ears were having auditory hallucinations.
Therefore, I don't know if my aunt's coffin lid was opened by the man in red.
If the coffin had been pried open, I guess I wouldn't have noticed.
Aunts and grandmothers will go out for the funeral early tomorrow morning, and according to custom, the coffin should be opened one last time before the funeral for the relatives to pay respects to their faces, and then the coffin will be covered and sent away within the specified time.
Therefore, during the seven days of the mortuary, the coffin will not be nailed for the time being.
But what has been put into the coffin cannot be taken out again. Since it is a burial, then the gold and silver jewelry and other things that my aunt and grandmother had to be buried with people.
For a big family like Anjia, gold and silver jewelry or something is indispensable.
It also gives the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of.
I told Tang Muzhou about my concerns.
After hearing this, Tang Muzhou strode to the front of the coffin.
He looked closely at the joints of the coffins, and he really found some traces of movement.
It's only a little bit, but it's obvious.
So, he asked me to help and work with him along the edge to push the coffin open.
The thought of a dead person sleeping inside, no matter who she was, still made me a little scared.
Tang Muzhou said: "When people die like lights go out, when they die, there is nothing, Xiaofan is here, and everything is fine for you!" ”
Hearing him say this, I took the courage and slowly pushed the lid of the coffin out with him.
With a dull "creaking" sound, the lid of my aunt's coffin was pushed open a crack. With the light of our mobile phones, we looked inside at the same time, and when we saw everything inside, Tang Muzhou and I were surprised!
