Chapter Forty-Eight: The White Lantern

Xiao Liu'er opened her mouth half-open, wanting to say something, but finally swallowed.

Zhuo Yifan said that he and Xiao Liu'er have known each other for many years, presumably Xiao Liu'er knows Zhuo Yifan's temper very well, and he does not dare to disobey Zhuo Yifan at this time, but drives obediently.

After the car went up the mountain road, it became very bumpy, and the body kept shaking.

On this uneven mountain road, we were almost about to be shaken and vomited, and finally arrived at Gejia Village, when we arrived at the entrance of the village, our faces were slightly gray.

"Park, park!" As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, the mouse screamed, and without waiting for Xiao Liu'er to stop the car, he directly pushed the car door and jumped down, and then vomited on the side of the road, and basically vomited out the little things he ate in the morning.

We all got out of the car one after another, and our chests really seemed to be holding something, and we wanted to vomit a little sour.

"Mouse, give." I handed the mouse a bottle of water.

The mouse took it, began to rinse his mouth, and splashed some more on his face to sober himself up.

"Zhuo Ye, let's stop taking the car, let's go in?" The rat spit out a mouthful of turbid water and asked Zhuo Yifan with a pale face.

"Okay, this village is not very big, let's go in directly."

After Zhuo Yifan finished speaking, he handed us the backpack on the car, and everyone walked towards Gejia Village together.

The village gate of this village is just a pile of earthen walls, and it seems that the proprietress is right, this should be a very poor village.

"There are so many of us outsiders, and they suddenly enter the village, they will be suspicious, right?" Xiao Liu'er followed Zhuo Yifan, hoping that Zhuo Yifan would think of a good rhetoric first.

Otherwise, we outsiders will come to the village just after a sum of ill-gotten gains, and those people will be very wary of us, and it will not be easy for us to inquire about the origin of the dog-headed human sculpture.

"Yes." Zhuo Yifan slowed down.

When I looked into the village, I saw the rows of dilapidated houses in front of me with white lanterns hanging in front of them.

The red lantern represents a happy event, while the white lantern naturally represents the funeral, and hanging a white lantern means that someone in the family has died.

If there are a few houses with white lanterns, it is nothing, but as far as the eye can see, there are white lanterns hanging in front of the houses in the village, which shows a problem, in this village, there are people in every family who have "passed away"!

When I think of this, I can't help but feel creepy, what happened in this village, and someone in every family "died"? This reminds me of the uncle who came to our pawnshop and died mysteriously, and I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with the "sudden richness" in the village overnight?

"Anyone?"

When we didn't enter the village, we were worried about being discovered, but now we wander around this small village, feeling gloomy, and afraid that there will be no one.

We all shouted a few times, but in this village, it was as quiet as death, and no one paid attention to us outsiders.

"Oh, that's weird, could it be that the whole village of people who took those "goods" moved away, right? The mouse said and looked at Zhuo Yifan.

We didn't tell the mouse about the strange death of the uncle before, so he didn't know the weirdness and bizarre nature of this, and he didn't understand the tension in Zhuo Yifan's hearts at the moment.

Zhuo Yifan looked at a large white lantern, and his expression immediately changed.

He took out the uncle's ID card and began to look for the address from house to house.

The uncle's home was close to the entrance of the village, so it didn't take much effort for us to find it.

However, as soon as I arrived at the front of the house, I was shocked by the situation in front of his house, and along the way, we carefully observed that most of the people in this village had one lantern hanging in front of their homes, at most two, and there were eight lanterns neatly hung in front of this person's house.

"Zhuo Ye, this is not quite right, why are there all white lanterns in this village? What's wrong? "The mouse was too excited to get rich before, so he didn't take these lanterns seriously at all, but now that he has come all the way, his mood has calmed down, and he finally feels that something is wrong.

"Zhuo Ye, shouldn't all the people in this village have an accident? Otherwise, why would there be so many lanterns? The rat said that his pace had slowed down a lot.

Zhuo Yifan didn't pay attention to the mouse at all, took a step closer to the wooden door of this house, raised his hand and slapped it on the wooden door several times.

This is a two-story wooden house, the body of the house is obviously a little crooked, and it looks similar to a dilapidated house.

"Anyone?" Zhuo Yifan shouted loudly at the top of his voice.

There was no movement in the cabin, and we looked at each other again.

"Zhuo Shao, there is a custom in our hometown." Xiao Liu'er, who had been following us silently, suddenly spoke: "This white lantern is called a "mourning lantern", and the law of hanging is that a lantern represents a dead person. ”

As soon as Xiao Liu'er's words came out, Zhuo Yifan himself couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Then there are eight people in this family who have died one after another, and this may not include the person who died in my store." ”

"Alas, it is estimated that the people of their village are afraid that others will find out that there are antiques here, so they deliberately pretend to be ghosts." The mouse didn't want to go back empty-handed, and he didn't bother to care how many people died in this family, so he walked in front of Zhuo Yifan and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone?" Is anyone there? ”

After shouting for a long time, there is still no response from anyone, what can I do? Is there really no one in the house?

In desperation, we still decided to go first to take a look, the mouse was unwilling to be the leader, so he took a step back, Zhuo Yifan immediately walked to the door, raised his hand and pushed it tentatively, and the door was actually pushed open with a squeak.

This open door is a small hall, but because the lighting is not good, it is a little dark, after the door is opened, the sunlight can only shine on a small corner behind the door.

Because I was afraid of being treated as a thief, when the door opened, I shouted again: "Is there anyone?" "Unfortunately, except for my shouting, there was silence all around.

A few of us made eye contact and decided to enter the house, Zhuo Yifan walked in front, I was in the middle, and the mouse and Xiao Liu'er were behind.

"Squeak!"

As soon as I entered the door, I suddenly heard a squeak from the darkness of the room, followed by a large mouse covered in oily water.

The size of the mouse was so big, it was the size of a kitten, and although I was quite bold, I was still startled to see such a large mouse.

The rat came out of the darkness and stood in front of us, and for some reason, it was not afraid of people, but it was hunched over and squeaked at us, with a terrible voice and a very fierce appearance.

I spent the night in a state of anxiety, half-asleep and half-awake, and the next morning, before Zhuo Yifan woke up, I went into the bathroom early to make a herbal soup.
