Chapter 48: Retribution for Calamity

Time passed minute by minute, and the three of us waited patiently for the time to come.

From time to time, there was an inexplicable wind blowing in the coffin shop, which made the already cold weather even more chilly.

I asked Old Man Lu what that was, but he shook his head and said nothing, and then persuaded me that it would be better to have less trouble with this kind of thing.

Since he didn't say it, I was too embarrassed to ask.

Yichen already has a lot of opinions about Old Man Lu, and it's good that the two don't quarrel, let alone have any other exchanges. Yichen was also happy, stayed next to Yufeng, and began to close his eyes and meditate.

The atmosphere instantly cooled down again, and I searched my mind and couldn't think of any good topics to resolve the embarrassment, so I had to light a cigarette and sit at the door in a daze alone.

Just as he was thinking about it, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be Yichen.

"Get me a cigarette too." Yichen sat next to me with a sad face, stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of me.

"You smoke too?" I was surprised.

In my impression, Yichen seems to have never been a smoker or drinker.

"I've been quitting for a long time, I'm too bored today, take a cigarette to relieve my fatigue." Yichen said weakly, snapped and took a deep breath, and half of the cigarette burned down in an instant.

"Uncle Shi...... He's the only relative I have in this world. After being silent for a few seconds, Yichen slowly spoke: "Although he is my uncle in terms of seniority, in normal times, I really treat him as my own child. So ......"

Yichen suddenly stopped talking, lowered his head deeply, and could see that he was really depressed.

Although he didn't say the rest of the words, I knew what he wanted to say.

I refilled Yichen with another cigarette, and I said to him, more like to myself: "Don't worry, Senior Yufeng saved my life, and I won't let him happen to him no matter what." ”

"Well, thank you ......"

After chatting without a word, the time on the mobile phone finally jumped to 10:50, and the coffin shop gradually became silent, and even the sound of the wind blowing the leaves could not be heard.

The three of them stood in a semicircle back to back in front of Yufeng, not even daring to breathe, and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

"Boy, remember what I said, as long as Yufeng has an abnormality, let him enter the death period immediately, and I will help you pinch the time." Old man Lu said in a hoarse voice, and his tone was cold and serious.

I nodded in response, the palms of my hands were already covered with fine sweat, and my legs and stomach were numb because of fear, and I unconsciously shivered.

Subconsciously turned his head to look at Yufeng, only to see that he was still sitting on the chair with the same face as before, but there were no other problems.

Looking at his slightly shriveled face, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Faintly, I seemed to have hallucinations, as if I could still see the terrible and miserable appearance of the Jade Wind bleeding from the Seven Orifices.

"Didi, Didi!"

The phone rang suddenly, and the three of us were startled, and at the same time gasped for air, and I was almost screamed.

Old man Lu laughed embarrassedly, reached out and took out an old Nokia from his pocket, turned off the alarm clock and said slightly apologetically: "I'm afraid of delaying business, so I set an alarm clock." ”

Yichen and I glanced at each other and didn't say anything, after all, human life is at stake, and it's always right to be more careful.

Being interrupted by Old Man Lu's alarm clock, my tense nerves relaxed a little, and I let out a long breath and carefully observed the jade wind, not even daring to let go of a single hair.

At the same time, I kept chanting Old Man Lu's instructions in my heart: If there is any abnormality, do it immediately!

The night breeze blew in through a crack in the window, and I shivered from the cold, followed by an itchy nose and several sneezes in a row.

It was just such a kung fu that when I looked up at Yufeng again, I was almost frightened and jumped up.

Jade Wind He ...... Actually stood up!

What's even more weird is that Yufeng was just a little deflated.

But now, his fat body has gradually lost weight, and the clothes on his body suddenly became loose and saggy, almost falling off.

"Quick! Do it! Old man Lu said loudly and urgently.

In fact, before he could shout, I had already rushed to Yufeng, reached out and pressed his vagus nerve.

Suddenly, Yufeng stiffened all his body, and then fell back into his chair with a 'tom', and the whole person finally stopped continuing to dry up.

At the moment when Yufeng's buttocks were next to the chair, the coffin shop suddenly became cloudy, and there was a sound of 'wooing' ghost crying.

Seeing that Yufeng had temporarily stabilized, the three of us quickly turned around and watched our surroundings back to back.

Yichen held the gossip bronze mirror in one hand, pinched the law seal in the other, and hunched over to deal with the unknown danger.

Old man Lu was holding the carving knife tightly, squinting slightly with one eye, staring at Yufeng with squinted eyes, and looking at the time from time to time.

"What is the so-called retribution of calamity?" I swallowed hard and asked softly.

At this time, I was unspeakably uncomfortable, my whole body was trembling with the wind of cold air, and the medicine pestle became a little slippery because the palms of my hands were full of sweat.

Old man Lu licked his chapped lips and said in a deep voice: "Retribution for disasters is similar to the so-called catastrophe. I really don't know who this jade wind provoked, and it actually caused all the ghosts to cry. ”

Hearing him say this, I immediately thought of the skull buried under the locust tree by Yufeng.

But isn't the owner of that skull dead for an unknown amount of time, how can it be......

Just when I was puzzled, there was a sudden series of loud noises from the coffins around me, and all the coffin boards suddenly jumped up and down like the lid of a teapot boiling water.

The terrible sound suddenly stimulated the hairs all over my body, and my chest seemed to be beating with a sledgehammer, rising and falling with the sound of the coffin board beating.

"Senior Lu, coffin...... In the coffin, it shouldn't be ...... Is it empty......" I asked, trembling in my voice.

Old man Lu also looked a little trembling, pursed his dry and black lips and said, "I also want to know when there is something else in it." ”

"Just open it and look at it."

Yichen said as he cautiously walked towards the nearest coffin, I was afraid that something would happen to him, so I hurriedly followed.

Old man Lu also wanted to follow, but after squinting at Yufeng, he still put down his feet that were raised in the air, and instructed: "You two be careful, I'm watching Yufeng here." ”

Yichen didn't know if he didn't hear it or did it on purpose, in short, he didn't pay attention to Old Man Lu, and just moved towards the coffin step by step.

I followed behind Yichen and couldn't see his face, but somehow, I looked at his back and always felt that something was wrong.

My eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yichen's feet, and I couldn't help but gasp.

Yichen is indeed walking, but his whole foot is ......

Stand up!
