Chapter 16: Death
I covered it tightly with one hand, and while getting dressed, I said embarrassedly: "What's the matter with you, so anxious!" ”
Zhao Meijie didn't care about my cowardice at all, his apricot eyes widened, and he said, "Old Man Li is dead!" ”
"What?"
I was stunned, my body trembled, and I stood up with a bang.
Zhao Meijie reacted at this time, with an "ah" sound, a "snap" slap on my face, and scolded: "Hooligans, die!" ”
My cheeks were hot, and I said aggrievedly: "Sister, I'm getting dressed, who knows why you suddenly ran in?" ”
Zhao Meijie quickly turned his head, the roots of his ears were a little red, and said, "That...... Then you wear it first. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Meijie went out.
The news of Li Laohan's death sounded in my mind like a thunderbolt from the sky, and I really wanted to know what was going on, so I quickly got dressed and walked out.
Zhao Meijie was waiting for me in the courtyard.
"What's going on? Li Laohan was so dignified yesterday, why did he die? ”
I thought Zhao Meijie was playing a prank with me.
But Zhao Meijie didn't look like he was lying to me at all, and said: "I don't know, I just learned the news, it is said to be suicide." ”
Suicide?
Zhao Meijie didn't explain anymore, and ran directly to the head of the village with me.
There were a lot of villagers gathered at the head of the village, and before Zhao Meijie and I got close, we heard the villagers talking.
"How did you die so badly? What a wretch! ”
"I guess I was caught raped in bed, but Aunt Zhang's husband wasn't at home last night."
"Tsk, it's really unfavorable for the passing years, why do you say this Li Laohan hooked up with Aunt Zhang? Everyone knows that Aunt Zhang's husband is mixed with society and is very cruel! ”
“……”
Zhao Meijie and I didn't have time to understand the villagers' words, so we opened the crowd and walked in.
In front of me was a big willow tree, and there were two people hanging on the willow tree, and a piece of white silk was wrapped around their necks, and I could see clearly that it was none other than the old man Li and Aunt Zhang we met yesterday.
The two of them hung together from the thigh-thick branches of the big willow tree.
The white silk was on the branches, strangled the necks of the two, one hanging at one end and the other hanging at that end, dangling.
There is no doubt that the dead person is indeed Li Laohan, he was stripped naked and hung on a tree, there are blood marks on his body, his eyes are round, his eyeballs are protruding, his face is miserable and white, and his long tongue is also spit out, and his death is very terrifying.
Under the tree where he hanged, a large pool of blood had gathered, and the blood was already black, and it seemed that it had been a long time since he died.
My eyes widened, yesterday Li Laohan was still drinking with us proudly, why did he suddenly die today?
Also surprised was Zhao Meijie.
Although the villagers had different opinions, they still took their own hands and put Li Laohan down from the tree.
I took a closer look, and saw that Li Laohan's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't bat at a glance, so he boldly stretched out his hand and wanted to close his eyes.
But as soon as I closed it, my eyes opened suddenly.
"Hell!"
When the onlookers saw this scene, they screamed in fright and jumped away.
And I was closest to the corpse, and I didn't expect this one at all, so frightened that all the hairs on my back stood upside down, and my body shrank, took a step back, and crashed into a person's body.
The man hurriedly stabilized my body with both hands and said, "Xiaofan, don't be afraid. ”
When I looked back, it turned out to be the coffin Liu, and he got the news and rushed to come.
I said, "Uncle Liu, you have to be the master of Old Man Li, he was fine yesterday, why did he die today?" He must have killed him. ”
When I spoke, I was quite restless in my heart, this old man Li in front of me was going to tell us about who bought the paper man today, and I was about to make a major progress in the matter of being haunted by a female ghost, but unexpectedly, he died like this without knowing it.
That's a coincidence, isn't it?
I had a vague uneasiness in my heart, and it seemed to have something to do with me.
Although Li Laohan rarely interacts with the villagers, he is not bad and has not offended anyone, I really can't think of anyone who will kill him ruthlessly.
Coffin Liu comforted me and said, "Xiaofan, don't be afraid, let me take a look." ”
I hurriedly made way for the coffin Liu, and the other villagers knew that the coffin Liu would have some methods, so they also let it out at this time, allowing the coffin Liu to approach the deceased.
It is also strange to say that as soon as Liu Liu's hand closed the coffin, Li Laohan's eyes automatically closed.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The coffin Liu carefully examined the corpses of Li Laohan and Aunt Zhang, and suddenly, as if he had found something, he broke Li Laohan's right hand.
At this time, I saw clearly that Li Laohan's right hand was clenched tightly and clenched into a fist, as if he was holding something in his hand.
And the coffin Liu tried his best to break his right hand, but he didn't break it for a long time.
I sighed in my heart, it's not simple, people will stiffen their fingers when they die, but it's a little strange to break it with the strength of the coffin Liu, maybe it's because of resentment.
Seeing this, the coffin Liu stopped, and then lay in Li Laohan's ear, muttering something, because his voice was very small and he didn't know what he was talking about.
The people around him are very strange, this Li Laohan is dead, can he understand his words?
But what I never expected was that after the coffin Liu said a few words, Li Laohan's hand opened "whew".
The onlookers immediately heard a sound of surprise, which was too supernatural.
And the coffin Liu didn't care so much, he spread out Li Laohan's hand, picked up a snow-white piece of shredded paper from the palm of his hand, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it, and suddenly, his face changed wildly.
He stood up, told the surrounding villagers to clean up the bodies of Li Laohan and Aunt Zhang, and then walked quickly towards me and Zhao Meijie.
"What happened?" I was puzzled.
Coffin Liu Dao: "Let's go to Li Laohan's paper man shop to have a look." ”
I don't know why Coffin Liu made such a request, but looking at his solemn appearance, I didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly followed Zhao Meijie with him.
Li Laohan's paper shop is not far away, and I came with Zhao Meijie yesterday, and we will arrive soon.
On the way, I told the coffin Liu about yesterday, Li Laohan's shop has many paper figures exactly like the female ghost, the coffin Liu nodded, and said that he might not be able to see it after a while.
Can't see it?
Could it be that those paper figures will run?
When I arrived, the door of the paper figure shop was ajar, and I pushed it open.
Zhao Meijie and I were taken aback by what we saw.
I found that all the rows of female paper figures we saw yesterday were gone!
The house was empty, there was nothing!
Zhao Meijie and I couldn't help but gasp, and the coffin Liu's expression became extremely solemn at this moment, and he said in a deep voice: "It's broken!" Big things are wrong! ”
