The third grandfather licked the oil on his hands, did not hesitate any longer, nodded directly, and said the word "eat".

As soon as these words came out, Lu Hengming laughed out loud.

A sneer also appeared on the corner of Qian'er's mouth standing on one side, seeing them with such an expression, I couldn't help frowning, and asked Lu Hengming if he would go up the mountain tonight.

Lu Hengming turned his head and looked at the sky outside, I am afraid that it is too late to go up the mountain at this point, so I decided to rest in the village tonight, and tomorrow morning, we will all leave again.

"Then I'll go back to my house tonight to rest." After I finished speaking, I pulled Chu Yao, turned around and stepped out of the threshold.

But soon, Uncle Liu sent four men to follow us, saying that it was to protect our safety, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it was just to watch us.

However, among the four men, there was a familiar face to me, and that was the skinny monkey.

The skinny monkey was already thin before, but now he is a lot thinner than before, and he is lying on his back, looking listless.

I glanced at him, and he glanced back at me, but neither of them spoke.

Walking to this small farm yard where I have lived for more than ten years, there are a lot of good memories in front of my eyes, but when I stretched out my hand to push open the gate of this yard and saw that it was cleaned and clean, and there were still a few clothes hanging in the yard, I was a little dazed.

Could it be that grandma is back?

That was the first thought that immediately popped into my head, and I trotted into the hall, where there was still food to eat.

"Grandma? Grandmother! I immediately shouted.

As a result, I only heard a "squeak", and I saw that the door of the house where my grandmother lived before was pushed open, but it was not my grandmother who came out of it, but the third sister Laidi!

Isn't she supposed to be in college in the city right now? Why is it here?

"Sister, you, you, why are you here?" I looked at my sister in amazement.

"Meow!" Suddenly, a cat meow came from behind my sister, followed by a black cat.

This black cat that is exactly the same as Wang Baicao's family, is it the cat of the second aunt?

"Kuroko?" I muttered.

"Meow!" The black cat barked and walked towards me, but not close to me, but crouched half a step away from me.

My sister immediately ran towards me and took me in her arms.

"Little rhino, where have you been for so long?" She hugged me and asked excitedly.

I gently patted my sister on the back: "It's a long story, but how did you get here?" And why are sunspots here? ”

"Didn't you ask me to come? You sent me a letter saying that there was something very important and that I should wait for you in the village anyway? As for Kuroko, it was sent back from abroad by the second aunt, and my mother didn't like it, so I took it back with me when I went back to the village. She looked at me suspiciously, and said with a blank expression.

Hearing my sister say this, I felt that there must be something wrong here, so I hurriedly said to my sister: "Oh, yes, I remembered, I was coming here to play for a few days, so I specially told you." ”

"Who are these people?" My sister looked at Chu Yao and asked me a little suspiciously.

"It's all my friends." I said it casually.

When she heard this, she was going to the kitchen to prepare food for us, and when I looked at my sister, who didn't notice anything wrong at all, my heart was dying.

My sister made us noodles, and I ate it tastelessly, but the men sent by Lu Hengming didn't eat a bite, and just sat in the living room.

After dinner, I took advantage of the time to wash the dishes, so I persuaded my sister to go to the mountain road outside early tomorrow morning and wait for the bus to go back to the town.

"You go back with me." She wiped off a few of the cleaned dishes and chopsticks and said to me.

"I'll go back in a few days, you can leave tomorrow morning." I kept my voice as low as I could.

My sister put the bowl down: "Little rhino, are you going to disappear again?" No, I'll have to watch you unless you agree to come with me. ”

"Sister, me?" I looked at my sister and then looked back at the people in the living room, very helpless.

Thinking about it, maybe my sister can't leave now, and since someone invited her, then that person must be watching in secret.

"Okay, this matter is not negotiable." My sister said firmly.

I could only smile bitterly, and didn't persuade her again, and when it was nightfall, my sister and I and Chu Yao squeezed into the same bed to sleep, Chu Yao was probably too nervous all the way, and now as soon as she lay down and relaxed, she fell asleep immediately.

My sister also made an even breathing sound, but I couldn't close my eyes, and I was panicked and unspeakably uneasy.

"Click." Outside the wooden door, there was a slight sound of footsteps.

At the beginning, I thought that it must be the men sent by Lu Hengming, but that person walked outside no less than four or five times, so I quietly got up and got out of bed and walked to the door, opened the wooden door slightly, and I saw the thin monkey.

The thin monkey wanted to call me, but he couldn't knock on the door, so he could only walk around in a hurry.

"You?" I lowered my voice to speak to the skinny monkey, who made a wary boo gesture at me.

Then pointing to my backyard, I nodded and glanced into the living room, where the people were all resting on the couch.

So, I followed the thin monkey and tiptoed to the backyard.

"You're still alive?" Unexpectedly, his first sentence was actually asked this.

"Do you think I look like a ghost?" I asked him rhetorically.

He immediately shook his head: "It's not like it, but you don't seem to be the same as before." ”

"What's the difference?" I looked at the night sky, there were no stars in the sky, but the moonlight was surprisingly bright.

"Hey, I can't say it either, I just feel different, don't talk about this, are you here this time, are you here to find the "living coffin"? "The skinny monkey doesn't go around the bend with me anymore, and gets straight to the point.

I was stunned and looked at him.

Thinking in his heart, Lu Hengming shouldn't have told the thin monkey about coming here to find the "living coffin", this thin monkey is not a person that Lu Hengming thinks is credible at all.

Just like Chu Yao, Chu Yao didn't know anything about this matter at all.

Seeing that I was looking at him so stunned, the thin monkey didn't answer, and suddenly became a little anxious.

"Isn't it?" He asked anxiously.

I'm wondering if this thin monkey has completely become Lu Hengming's person now.

"Eh, why are you looking at me like that?" Seeing that my eyes were wrong, the thin monkey immediately asked.

"How do you know about the coffin of a living person?" I stared at him blankly.

He gasped, and the expression on his face immediately became nervous, and his head shook desperately, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

"Really, why are you so unlucky? This? This? He said with words in his mouth, and said that he should have thought of it a long time ago, the coffin in Lu Hengming and Qian'er's mouths must be this kind of strange coffin.

"What bad luck, what are you talking about?" I looked at him suspiciously.

He glanced at the living room again, then lowered his voice and said to me, "My father went to find the coffin of the living man, but he never returned." ”

The skinny monkey sighed and told me about his father.

Before, he said that their family first did the construction of mausoleums, and then gradually degenerated, and the later generations were "earth rats", that is, digging graves and making money for the dead.

At that time, his grandfather was a well-known figure in this industry, but when it came to his father's generation, it was a little worse, after all, this business was getting more and more difficult to do, and if he was not careful, he might go in.

Therefore, when the father of the thin monkey was in his forties, he thought about washing his hands in the golden basin, after all, he couldn't bear it when he was old.

But just when his father decided to live an ordinary life in peace, suddenly several men came to the door at night, and the thin monkey was also a half-grown boy at that time, and liked to join in the fun, and when he saw someone coming to talk to his father, he hid behind the door and eavesdropped.

But because the people, including his father, kept their voices very low, the thin monkey heard nothing but the words "living coffin".

All he knew was that the men had left his house after a short while, and then his father had sat in the living room, smoking two full packs of cigarettes.

The next day, his father said that he was going to go on a long trip, and the thin monkey asked him where he was going, and his father said that he was going to make a lot of money so that their mother and son could live a good life.

However, after his father left, he never returned.

The mother of the thin monkey looked forward to it at home day and day, and when she finally died, she still chatted with the thin monkey that she would never do his father's business.

However, the thin monkey has never read any books since he was a child, and after his father disappeared, he relied on stealing chickens and dogs to make a living, and in order to survive, he had no choice but to do their ancestral old business.

I don't know if he was born to eat this bowl of rice, and the tombs he has made over the years are not old and young, but he can't save money at hand.

"The coffin of the living person is dangerous, we must not go." The thin monkey said to me with a serious face.

"I have to go, as for you, hey!" Now this thin monkey is Lu Hengming's subordinate, and it is up to him whether he goes or not.

"Who?" The thin monkey suddenly lowered his voice and asked.

I immediately turned around and found that this Chu Yao didn't know when he was already standing behind us.

"Auntie, people are scary, but they will scare people to death." The thin monkey also found out that it was Chu Yao, and immediately patted his chest, as if he was really frightened.

"A living coffin? Did you just talk about the coffin of a living person? Chu Yao looked at us, and by the moonlight, I saw Chu Yao's face turned pale.

"You know the coffin of a living person, too?" The thin monkey looked at Chu Yao and asked suspiciously.

"My grandfather, more than ten years ago, also went to look for the coffin of the living person." Chu Yao's words made me tremble a little.

Chu Yao told us about her grandfather's situation, back then, her grandfather was also invited away by several men, and he never went back like the father of the thin monkey.

After Chu Yao finished speaking, the three of us looked at each other and fell silent.

Could this be a coincidence? It doesn't seem like it, I was a little puzzled from the beginning, such a secret thing, Lu Hengming didn't bring so many subordinates, why did he have to take Chu Yao and the thin monkey, I was afraid that there were hidden secrets here that we didn't know.
