Liu Shangang probably thought I was too long-winded and gave me a hard look, but he immediately shut up. I suddenly remembered that there was still the corpse of the old lady of the Zhu family in the mourning hall, although I was not sure whether the corpse had become an evil corpse for the time being, but for the sake of safety, I still took off the dog bead chain in my hand and put it on Liu Shangang's hand.

The mourning hall of the old lady of the Zhu family is the largest house in the whole village, and it is also the only house with a yard, entering the courtyard gate, I saw a lot of simple wooden beds in the yard, and some clothes are scattered on each bed, it seems that we were right in our previous estimates, in the past two months, Zhu Gang and they have been living in the mourning hall.

At this time, Wong Tai Sin pushed open the door of the house, beckoned to us, and motioned for us to go in for dinner.

The moment he pushed the door open, the demonic aura around him became even stronger, but whether it was me or Liang Houzai, they all pretended not to care, nodded at Huang Daxian with a smile, and walked towards the mourning hall.

After crossing the threshold of the mourning hall, I could see at a glance that there was a yellow wooden coffin near the east wall, I tried to perceive it, the coffin did not have the unique corpse qi of evil corpses, it seems that the corpse of the old lady of the Zhu family did not evolve into an evil corpse.

At this time, there were many people gathered in the mourning hall, and there were two large steel pots displayed under the west wall of the room, and everyone lined up and received the dishes and chopsticks from Huang Shu in an orderly manner, everyone's face had a listless expression, and their bodies seemed to be very weak, almost dragging their bodies and walking slowly.

I noticed a man walking up to one of the steel pots, filling half a bowl of rice, and scooping out some brownish-gray pieces of meat and sticky soup from the other pot with a spoon, and pouring them into his rice bowl.

Liu Shangang came up to me and whispered to me, "That thing looks like rat meat." ”

When he speaks, he can also make a disgusted expression, as if rat meat is a very disgusting thing.

I've even eaten the corpse oil from the corpses, and a few grains of rat meat certainly won't do any psychological harm to me.

I glanced at Liu Shangang and said to him, "Don't talk too much. ”

After that, I carefully observed the crowd and tried to find Zhu Gang. It's a pity that I failed, and Zhu Gang is not among these people at all.

During the time we entered the mourning hall, Wong Tai Sin had been standing not far from us. At this time, he smiled at us and asked Liu Shangang, "How do you know that it is rat meat?" ”

The smile on his face was still the kind of smirk that moved his flesh and skin, and a pair of eyes stared directly at Liu Shangang.

It was only then that I noticed that his pupils were much larger than normal, and they were shiny and black, and he looked a little crazy.

Liu Shangang also smiled at him and said, "I just ate bamboo rat hot pot in a mountain treasure shop a few days ago, so I can see it at a glance?" Hey, Wong Tai Sin, everyone else has eaten, why don't you eat? ”

Wong Tai Sin frowned stiffly: "Do you recognize me?" ”

Liu Shangang still smiled: "How can you, you forgot, when you were at the entrance of the village, didn't those two people call you Wong Tai Sin?" Hey, why do they call you Daxian, what are you doing? ”

Wong Tai Sin frowned at this time, pointed to the two steel pots on the west side of the house and said to us, "Hurry up and eat, I have already eaten." ”

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly went out, and Liu Shangang shouted at him from behind: "Why is there a coffin in the house." He didn't respond.

After Wong Tai Sin left, those who had already prepared their meals squatted in the corners of the house and devoured them, looking at them as if they were in a hurry.

But at this moment, two people ate the food in the bowl, put the dishes and chopsticks on the ground, and then leaned against the wall to take a nap, and they fell asleep just as quickly, almost as soon as they closed their eyes, and then there was a sound of snoring.

Huang Shu shouted at us from afar: "Hurry up and get food, wait a while the food will be cold." ”

Liang Houzai gave me an inquiring look, as if asking me if I wanted to eat the food here.

I didn't hesitate, I went directly to Huang Shu to get the bowl and chopsticks, the bowl Huang Shu handed me was obviously one size bigger than the others, I looked at the bowl in my hand, and asked him, "Why is my bowl different from other people's?" ”

"This is Wong Tai Sin's special instructions," he took chopsticks and spoons from the table next to him and handed them to me, as he said to me, "Wong Tai Sin said that the three of you are growing your body and should eat more." ”

I asked him again, "Can we take it back and eat it?" ”

He winked at me, "You're going to take the food with you, why?" ”

I said to him, "I haven't eaten in a cafeteria since I was a child, and I think it's awkward that there are so many people in this place, and it's like a cafeteria." Besides, guarding a coffin, who can eat? ”

He kept his head down and was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, before he said to me, "Do you think these people are strange?" As he spoke, he also pointed to the people in the room.

I nodded, "It's really weird. ”

I saw Huang Shu sigh and said to me: "These people are all sick people, and this time Huang Tai Sin came all the way here to treat these people." ”

Patient? Cure? Are you a fool to me?

I thought so in my heart, but I said, "What disease do they have, and will it be contagious?" ”

"Don't worry, this person has heart disease." Huang Shu said: "That's it, what about the rice, you can take it back to eat, I happen to be free at three o'clock in the afternoon, you just put the dishes and chopsticks in the house, and I will go over to collect it when the time comes." ”

I smiled: "Yo, isn't that going to trouble you, let's send it back to you after dinner." ”

Huang Shu waved his hand at me: "No need, after lunch, there will be crying and mourning here in the mourning hall, so don't come here." ”

Speaking of this, Huang Shu paused for a moment, then came to me again, and whispered to me: "Don't you know, these people can be terrible when they cry and mourn, if you come, you won't be able to have nightmares all night." ”

I deliberately looked surprised and said, "This place is a mourning hall?" ”

Huang Shu pouted helplessly: "Alas, one or two sentences are not clear, you guys hurry up and cook, I have to put away the pot at one point." ”

I didn't say anything more and walked to the end of the crowd and lined up.

After a while, Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang also came behind me, and I looked at their hands and found that the two bowls they were holding in their hands were the same as mine, and they were also one size bigger than the others.

I counted carefully, there were a total of thirteen people queuing up to eat in the mourning hall, but the document that Hu Nanqian gave us said that counting Zhu Gang, there were a total of twenty-two people who would move the old lady's grave in his hometown, where did the others go?

Although Zhu Gang has lost a lot of money in investing in chain hotels in the past two years, the business of the group he runs is still very good, and most of the relatives and friends who followed him can be regarded as a rich man, but these people in front of him seem to be malnourished for a long time, and their bodies are very thin, and most of them are wearing fat clothes and pants that do not match their figures.

I also saw the two people I had seen at the entrance of the village before, and their expressions were very wooden at this time, and they sat in the corner like puppets, slowly eating the food in the bowl.

The others ate unusually fast, but only these two were slow.

When I came to the first steel pot to prepare the rice, I smelled a very strange aroma in the white rice, which was not the aroma of food, but a rather pungent tea aroma, which was slightly mixed with a slight bitterness.

I deliberately kept my face calm, filled most of the bowl of rice, and came to the second steel pot.

There is a lingering heat from the pot, mixed with a rich aroma of meat and sauce, which makes people very appetizing. But when I stirred in the pot with a soup spoon, I felt that the yin qi around me suddenly became a little heavier.

I couldn't help but frown for a moment, and then pretended to be calm and took a small half spoonful of the soup and sprinkled it evenly over the rice.

Huang Shu seemed to notice the moment when I frowned, and said to me from afar: "It's hard to get ingredients in this kind of deserted village, and the only meat you can eat is rat meat." But you can rest assured, I've checked all of these rats, they're all healthy, and I've cooked them long enough that even if there's anything unclean in the meat, they're all scalded to death. ”

If he hadn't said that, I might have thought the pot of rat meat was delicious, but when he said the words "unclean," I thought the broth I poured over the rice was disgusting no matter how I looked at it.

However, out of politeness, I smiled and nodded at him, then turned around and quickly left the mourning hall.

Not long after, Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang also came out, and we went out of the courtyard together and walked towards where we lived.

Before I could go far, I saw Wong Tai Sin leading a few people towards the mourning hall, these people were very different from those in the mourning hall, each of them was white and fat, but the expressions on their faces were also very wooden.

Among these people, one of them is Zhu Gang who we are looking for, when he walked into the courtyard gate, he subconsciously glanced at us, but his eyes were a little dull, and after a quick glance at us, he followed Wong Tai Sin into the courtyard.

Worried that Wong Tai Sin would be suspicious, the three of us didn't dare to stay longer, and quickly entered the alley and returned to the earthen house where we stayed.

As soon as he entered the house, Liang Houzai quickly closed the door of the house, while Liu Shangang sat on the ground, picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, I quickly patted him and shook my head at him: "There is a problem with the rice, don't eat it." ”

Liu Shangang seemed to be particularly interested in the rat meat in his bowl, and reluctantly put the dishes and chopsticks aside, and took out compressed biscuits from the backpack he carried with him, and divided them between Liang Houzai and me.

Liang Houzai took a bite of the biscuit, lowered his voice and said to me, "It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this Wong Tai Sin. ”

I nodded: "And he is very vigilant, before Liu Shangang just called him 'Wong Tai Sin', which made him suspicious." ”

Liang Houzai said: "That's true, when we first entered the village, he noticed the Fantian Seal and the Qinggang Sword, I think he seems to be jealous of Grandpa Chai." ”

Afraid of my master?

Liang Houzai's words were too jumpy in thinking, and my brain couldn't turn a little bit, so I asked him: "How do you say this?" ”

Liang Houzai said to me: "You think, Grandpa Chai is very famous in this industry, and the Qinggang Sword and Fantian Seal are his personal treasures, and many crooked and evil ways know these two things." If the evil corpse in the village was really caused by Wong Tai Sin, what is he most afraid of now? ”

I thought for a moment and said, "You mean, Wong Tai Sin is worried that people in the righteous path will come to disturb his situation when they get the news, especially worried that our teacher will come. ”
