Chapter 9: The Strange Coffin Liu
When Uncle was gone, I stood alone, and the forest was so quiet that I could hear my heart pounding in my chest.
My eyes wandered, wary of the quiet night.
Fluttering.
A strange bird, unaware of what frightened it was, took off inexplicably from the top of a locust tree not far away, scaring me in place.
Secretly scolding that it was useless, I hurriedly leaned my back against a large locust tree.
That way, at least I'm safe behind me.
With this solid tree as my backing, I breathed a sigh of relief, and held up the rune paper that Uncle had given me to look at it, the rune paper was pale yellow, and the red cinnabar outlined strange symbols on it.
I don't understand what it means, but the uncle said that this rune paper can protect the body, and I don't care so much, and if there is something dirty later, I will call my face directly according to what the uncle said.
Thinking of this, I clenched the rune paper, and with it in my hand, I had a little bottom.
I waited like this, and I don't know how long it took, but my nerves were completely relaxed, perhaps because I was too frightened just now, and I was drowsy.
Of course, I don't dare to sleep in this environment, but my body and mind are as relaxed as possible.
In a daze, I suddenly heard a muffled cry, and I opened my eyelids and immediately pricked up my ears.
Upon closer inspection, the voice was gone.
I was on high alert for a while.
No sound was heard.
In the extreme silence, there is a slight sound in the blood circulation in the ears, which must have been the case just now, I comforted myself.
Leaning against the locust tree again, I stretched my limbs, and my tiredness became even stronger.
But as soon as the back of his head rested on the trunk of the tree, the cry began again.
"Boom Boom ......"
The cry was very quiet, like a mosquito chirping, but this time I heard it clearly, and it was actually coming from behind the big locust tree I was leaning on!
It was so close to me that it was as if the weeping man was leaning against the trunk of a tree with me back to back.
Suddenly I fell asleep, and I got up from the ground with a shudder, and jumped away from the big locust tree.
I ran a few steps out, and the crying did not stop, but became louder, as if to call me to stop.
"Boom Boom ......"
I stopped, and I felt very strange in my heart, because just listening to the voice, it seemed that it was a man who was sobbing.
And the tone is sour, as if he has been greatly wronged.
In TV dramas, shouldn't all this situation be female?
With a mouthful of saliva, I calmed my mind slightly.
Although I knew that it was impossible for a living person to cry at this time in such a place, I couldn't help but want to go and see it when I heard the sour cry.
Besides, I can't really run, I'm not familiar with this locust forest, there are little ghosts outside, and the uncle also asked me to wait for him in the same place.
Pinching the rune paper in my hand, I walked around the big locust tree step by step, and soon, I saw a blood-red shadow squatting behind the big locust tree.
Although the locust forest was very dark, the shadow seemed to glow on its own, and I could see it clearly.
The shadow crouched under the big locust tree, its head buried in the crook of its arm, its shoulders trembling slightly with sobbing.
I went all the way around the tree, seven or eight meters away from the red shadow, but it still cried as if it hadn't noticed me, and didn't react at all.
"Who?!"
I snorted.
The red shadow stopped crying and slowly lifted his face, and my gaze fell on his.
I thought I would see a terrifying grimace and be mentally prepared, but I didn't expect to see it clearly, but I was surprised to find that it was no one else.
It's the coffin Liu!
"How are you?" I blurted out.
The coffin Liu slowly stood up from under the big locust tree, at this time he was very weird, wearing an ancient red wedding robe, and wearing a groom's official hat on his head, a golden flower on the hat, a phoenix crown, and emerald green tassels hanging on the left and right wings.
The bright red of the wedding robe, shining brightly, reflected his black and yellow old face, which looked extremely weird.
He looked at me with a smile.
"Why are you here?" His appearance sent chills down my heart, and I took a step back and said vigilantly, "My uncle is not far away, come back soon." β
Coffin Liu stared at me, and said earnestly: "Xiaofan, come with me, your uncle wants to harm you." β
Uncle wants to hurt me?
Didn't my uncle say, your coffin Liu wants to harm me?
At this time, I didn't have the heart to think about it, according to the way the coffin Liu is now, I can't believe him anyway, he must be lying to me.
But the coffin Liu continued: "Xiaofan, listen to me, your uncle lied, I didn't scare away your soul at all at your house, the white shadow that scared away was the female ghost, she entangled you to harm you, and I saved you." β
I was stunned for a moment, the uncle did say so at the beginning, and the coffin Liu scared away my soul.
"You were confused by your uncle, he brought you here to recruit female ghosts, the purpose was to catch her and marry you, your yin marriage with female ghosts has already been destroyed by me, your uncle wants to continue the strings, he has bad intentions!"
Speaking of this, Coffin Liu's tone was quite worried.
I immediately said: "My uncle also said that you have ill intentions, you want to rob the Yin Yuan, and join forces with the female ghost to take away what my grandfather left behind." β
"Take what your grandfather left behind?" Coffin Liu's eyes widened, "He really said that?" β
I looked at the coffin Liu with a surprised look, and I expected that I would be a little surprised after the scam was exposed, so I showed such an expression.
So he nodded and said, "That's right, my uncle said that you want to take away my grandfather's relics." β
Grandpa's relics were only taken out when my family had a difficult time, and needless to say, I knew it was a treasure.
I thought that after the coffin Liu was dismantled by me, he would tear his face, but I didn't expect him to pat his thigh and jump to his feet and say: "Misunderstanding, you believe such a lie, why do your parents also believe it?" I don't think it would have been for meβ"
Speaking of this, Coffin Liu glanced at the depths of the dense forest, a touch of panic suddenly appeared on his face, and then he quickly turned around and said to me: "Xiaofan, go, follow me." β
Coffin Liu said as he walked towards me and stretched out his hand to pull me.
I was startled and hurriedly retreated, while holding up the rune paper and exclaiming, "You, don't come, don't come......"
But the coffin Liu approached faster, and before I could react, he came to me in a few big steps, stretched out his hand and was about to forcibly pull me away.
"Ahh
I let out a startled exclamation, and instinctively shrank back.
At this time, a "rustling" dense footsteps came from the darkness not far away, this footstep is familiar to me, it is my uncle.
As if I had grasped a life-saving straw, I raised my throat and shouted, "Uncle, come and save me!" β
"Xiao Fan!"
A voice immediately responded, sure enough, it was my uncle who came back.
Coffin Liu glanced at the direction where the voice came from, looked very anxious, and then looked at me and said quickly: "Xiaofan, you have to believe me, I do want to rob your Yin Yuan, but I am saving you, not harming you." β
The rustling footsteps were getting closer, and I could even hear the sound of my uncle's heavy breathing.
"Your uncle has already recruited that female ghost, I can guarantee that as soon as you go back, your uncle will let you have a relationship with that female ghost, if you don't believe it, you can see it!"
After speaking, the coffin Liu didn't stop much, his figure flashed, and he ran in the opposite direction to the uncle.
