The bug was small, but I was nervous as if I was facing a poisonous snake, fearing that it would bite me if I moved.

After the red worm crawled away on its own, I felt like I had just gone to the ghost gate to take a spin.

Xu Buhuo came up and looked at me with complicated eyes.

Looking at the extra thing on his forehead, my heart couldn't help but get hot.

There was sweat on his forehead, cold sweat from nervousness.

Obviously, he was really anxious just now, worried that I would run into a red bug.

"Didn't you touch it?"

I nodded, Xu Buhuo exhaled, looked at me and explained seriously: "It's good to be curious, but don't be too serious, if you are bitten by this little worm, then there will be no future." ”

A little worm, is it so scary?

Looking at the small insect crawling slowly on the ground, there seemed to be blood on the body, I subconsciously thought of Liu Lezi who had no flesh and blood in the coffin behind, and thought to myself that Liu Lezi had a skin left in a blink of an eye, could this little insect be related?

"Grimace, an extremely poisonous corpse insect, if a living person is bitten, the organs and bones will festered into blood within three days, if the corpse is bitten, there will be only one skin left within three hours, as long as it is bitten, there is only one end, that is, waiting for death."

The word "waiting for death" pierced my heart like a needle, making my arm, which had just regained some consciousness, suddenly numb.

Just now, it seems that he really turned around at the door of the ghost gate.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Lezi's skin was still in the coffin, I would probably have questioned Xu Buhuo's explanation. It's hard to imagine how this corpse worm called the grimace could be so poisonous.

Xu Buhuo took out a small glass bottle from the cloth bag, put the grimace into it, looked at it carefully in front of him, and muttered: "This thing was extinct a hundred years ago, but I didn't expect it to exist." ”

Finding the grimace, Xu Buhuo seemed to be very surprised.

I thought that the person who made such a terrifying grimace was probably the third person who didn't know his identity yet.

Why did he do it?

The means are like destroying corpses, and I can't figure out why Liu Lezi has no clues on him, why he used grimaces to make him only a skin.

Fortunately, the village chief is now in a coma, otherwise it would be strange if he knew that his younger brother was not only dead, but also that he was left with only a skin, and he was so angry that he turned the whole village over.

Returning to the coffin, looking at the remaining human skin inside, Xu Buhuo frowned, with a deep thought, and seemed to be speculating about the purpose of using the grimace to further persecute Liu Lezi, after all, Liu Lezi is already a dead man, and now he is doing this, but it is a bit of a superfluous move, covering his ears and stealing the bell.

After going around again, Xu Buhuo and I left after finding nothing.

When I arrived outside the hospital, the people in the village hulala surrounded me and asked Xu Buhuo why Liu Lezi became like this.

The corpse was sealed in a coffin, and within a few hours the corpse was left with only one skin, which was too mysterious for science to explain, and it could be seen that the people in the village were very afraid.

"Don't panic, he was killed by this bug."

Xu Buhuo took out the grimace and explained it carefully, hearing that the faces of the people in the village were frightened, and it was difficult to understand that a small insect that could be crushed to death at will could make a corpse with only one skin left.

After that, the villagers dispersed in a hurry, and I heard several uncles say that they were going to the town to buy disinfectant powder, and they were worried that this insect would also appear in their homes, so they were going to disinfect it.

Back at the old house, Xu Buhuo took a small bottle with a grimace and looked at it, I followed it for a while, and found that he was just reading but not talking, and he went to read a book when he found it boring.

During this period, I took out the cloth bag given by Uncle Qin several times, and wanted to secretly put it into the cloth bag that Xu Buhuo put next to the coffin, but I held back again and again.

Before I found the corpse rat and the soul devouring chicken, I trusted Uncle Qin 100%, but after discovering these two evil things, I felt that he also had a problem.

Especially when I thought of the nervousness Xu Buhuo showed when I almost touched the grimace, I felt that he was really nervous at that time, worried that I would be bitten.

People sometimes have some instincts, but they can't pretend to be able to do so.

Although Xu Buhuo did his best to do things with any purpose, from the point of caring about my safety, I felt pretty good about him, and the problems that Uncle Qin had discovered, I couldn't help but start questioning the specific situation he saw that night.

That scene, what if he deliberately made it up to separate me from Xu Buhuo?

Facts, for a time it is difficult to determine.

Looking at the coffin in front of me, I was embarrassed and confused.

Tonight is the sixth night, the last night tomorrow night, after tomorrow night, I don't know what to do. It was obviously not feasible to keep Grandma's coffin in the mourning hall, because it had to be taken care of at all times. There are still things to do at home, and it is impossible for my mother and I to live by the coffin.

After thinking about it for a while, I made a decision, since my grandmother didn't have anything to do with the follow-up, then after tomorrow night, the coffin would be buried, which would be more worry-free.

As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, I lit the soul lamp on time, and Xu Buhuo still lit incense as usual, but this time, the incense he took out of the cloth bag was not black before, but red.

After the incense is lit, the green smoke is like a stick, straight up, without a little offset, and I can't help but ask what kind of incense this is.

"Requiem."

After Xu Buhuo finished speaking, he went back to the wooden chair and continued to lie half-dead, I stared at the incense for a while and found nothing abnormal, then I continued to read, and after reading for a while, I began to feel sleepy again, so I went into the reading hall to put the book.

The ghost made the god worse, and I subconsciously looked up to look at the gap in the eyes of the little ghost before. As soon as I looked up, I felt like my heart was being grasped by an invisible hand, and my mouth opened to scream, but the cry pressed me hard in my throat.

As soon as I shouted, Xu Buhuo was bound to come in, and he couldn't say that he would make a move on this little ghost.

The little ghost was raised by his grandmother, and he had been upstairs before, if he was in danger, he would have done it a long time ago, and he wouldn't have looked at it so secretly.

I blinked back to my senses, and when I looked up again, the eyes in the slit were gone, and I took a deep breath and exhaled it, not planning to study this little ghost raised by my grandmother for the time being.

But as soon as I took a step, there was a biting cold wind blowing behind me, which made my whole body tremble subconsciously, and I was just about to turn my head, when the sound of the book being opened sounded behind me.

There are no windows in the hall, the cold wind blows, the pages are turned, and the only explanation is that the little ghost is behind.

Even though I was prepared, I couldn't help but tense my whole body after turning around and seeing the little ghost.

He looked eight or nine years old, his clothes were all black, like a shroud, his face was pale, except that his black eyes were much larger than normal children, there was nothing scary.

I have seen the corpse of Mrs. Wang, Jiang Yan, who has been dead for eighteen years, and I have also seen Liu Lezi who has become a human skin, the little ghost is the most normal of these things, but I still can't relax.

There was an extra book on the wooden cabinet, and it seemed that the little ghost pointed to the book, only to see the book automatically turn over, and after stopping, a piece of paper was revealed in the middle of the page.

The imp is reminding me.

Resisting my nervousness, I picked up the paper. There are not many words on it, it was left by my grandmother.

Just like the letter left before, grandma seems to have already calculated everything and left a reminder, otherwise how could the little ghost suddenly appear. Thinking of the letter that disappeared inexplicably before, I couldn't help but ask the little ghost: "Was the letter taken by you before?" ”

The imp nodded, and smiled at the same time, and I looked down at the note, and was about to ask him what his grandmother had confessed, but there was nothing in front of me.

Seeing that there was no trace of the ghost in the hall, I didn't look for much, and turned my attention to the note: Seven days of mourning, three more coffins in the middle of the night, southeast of the ancestral cave, under the shadow of the locust tree.

After reading it carefully, I still didn't understand, I didn't go out of the hall immediately, but sorted out everything, because I knew that it was time to determine Xu Buhuo's position, and the funeral matters explained by my grandmother needed Xu Buhuo's help to understand.

The letter that disappeared inexplicably was taken away by the little ghost, and Uncle Qin guessed that the letter was left by Xu Buhuo before, and now the appearance of the note and the little ghost completely overturned this speculation.

There is a little ghost to testify, so it is certain that the letter is indeed left by the grandmother, indicating that she believes in Mr. Xu, otherwise she would not have invited him to come. Coupled with what has happened in the past few days, I am sure that Uncle Qin has been lying, and there is no problem with Xu Buhuo.

Figuring out everything, my whole body suddenly felt indescribably relaxed, and I hurriedly took the note and went out to find Xu Buhuo.

Seeing the note, Xu Buhuo was not surprised at all, as if he had known it for a long time, I was about to ask, but I thought that Niantang was not far from here, and when I spoke just now, Xu Buhuo should have heard it. In addition, people like him have a strong perception of ghosts, and I guess I found out before I found out that the little ghost was back upstairs, but I didn't care.

"Tomorrow after twelve o'clock, I will be buried."

"Buried after twelve o'clock? Isn't it a bit rushed? I couldn't help but ask.

"The first watch is the first watch, the second watch is the second watch, and the third watch is the son, between eleven o'clock and one o'clock, as long as it is past twelve o'clock, it will be considered to meet the seven-day period that your grandmother said before."

It turned out to be eleven o'clock to one o'clock, and I always thought that it was three o'clock in the morning.

"There is a locust tree next to your ancestral grave?"

I thought about it, there was indeed a locust tree, Xu Buhuo walked to the door, looked up at the outside, and said, "I hope there will be a moon tomorrow night, otherwise it will be troublesome." ”

"Why?"

"Your grandmother said that she would be buried under the shadow of the locust tree at the southeast end of the ancestral tomb, and if there is no moon, there will be no shadow of the tree, and the location is not easy to determine."

After speaking, Xu Buhuo turned his head to look at his grandmother's coffin and said, "Sister Chen, you really made me feel embarrassed for a while." ”

Thinking back to my grandmother's arrangement, I don't know why she died and needed to do these suspenseful and mysterious arrangements.

Sure that Xu Buhuo is okay is the happiest thing in my heart. Coupled with knowing what to do tomorrow night, I was completely relaxed and fell asleep in a daze.

I was asleep when my mother's shouts suddenly woke me up.

"Meridian, I'll be back soon."

"Ziwu, come back quickly, it's dark, it's not safe outside."

Listening to the voice, I was sure it was my mother shouting.

The words of shouting are almost exactly the same as when my grandmother called me a soul when I was a child.

I walked to the door, and I couldn't help but feel anxious, I didn't know why my mother would call me outside the yard in the middle of the night.

I turned my head to look at Xu Buhuo, and was about to ask him what to do, but found that he was asleep with his eyes closed.

"Mr. Xu......"

Bang dang.

As soon as I pushed Xu Buhuo with my hand, he fell to the ground.

His eyes were closed and he didn't move.
