Chapter 13: The Man Who Sleeps on the Grave

The old mansion is like a sleeping beast against the background of the night fog, waiting for the dawn hour in silence. The shadows of the trees are swaying, and in the darkness, there is a faint and invisible aura everywhere.

In the woods, a dark shadow trampled on the dead leaves, making a rustling sound, and the birds perched on the branches of the trees, probably by the sound of the ground, caused a frightened fluttering sound, and then let out a 'chirp' sound. At the same time, the night insects also stopped chirping in an instant, and the surroundings fell into a dead silence for a moment. The night breeze is gentle, the branches are swaying, and the dew drops formed by the mist on the bamboo leaves are clearly audible at close range.

A black shadow flashed out of the house, and the black shadow had a purpose, and walked straight to the back mountain, the mass grave. In the mass grave, a string of flickering green-blue phosphorescence lights flew over the tomb like fireflies in the dark night. Under a huge old locust tree, under which stood a bare and lonely tomb......

In the east, the belly of the fish appears white, and the earth gradually recovers from its slumber. The milky white fog quietly faded its veil before dawn. Around the old house, patches of emerald green are as if they are now in the mist.

The children were still in their dreams and had not fully woken up, and Chen Jun felt strange that he hadn't seen Zelin today, according to his habit of getting up early, he should be cleaning the courtyard at this time, or pruning flowers and plants.

Chen Jun secretly guessed whether Zelin was sick or something, so he might still be sleeping, thinking, and walked to the door of his bedroom.

Chen Jun raised his hand and knocked on the door, and there was a knock on the door, and he shouted, "Zelin, are you uncomfortable?" ”

The door was closed, and no one answered, which Chen Jun did not expect. Raise your hand to push open the door, the wooden door may be a little damp, the door shaft is slow to start, and there is a screeching sound.

Chen Jun entered Zelin's bedroom and turned on the electric light against the wall, only to see that there was no one inside. A cold and humid air blew in through the back window, and the bedding on the bed was messily piled aside, and he reached into the futon and found that the bed did not have the same body temperature as it had just left, indicating that Zelin may have left the bed in the middle of the night.

Zelin, where did you go last night? Chen Junhu looked around suspiciously to no avail, so he leaned into the back window, and looked outside from the back window, the perspective was very limited, and he could only see less than one-third of the scene in the woods.

There is still a mist left in the woods that has not dissipated at all, and the bamboo is like rows of slim beauties, standing slender and proud on the ground. The green and wide bamboo leaves are pressed down by the large dew drops, and hang low until they roll down the water droplets, which will rise slightly and then rise, and become more and more green after the baptism of the dew beads.

Chen Jun searched everywhere for Zelin, and searched all the corners and corners of the old mansion, but there was no trace of him......

Liu Jing took the children to do morning exercises in the courtyard, and when she saw Chen Jun coming with a sad face, she asked the children to do it first and walked over.

"I made this bitter gourd face early in the morning, who made you angry?"

"Strange, Zelin is gone. Nor was it anywhere else, let alone in the bedroom, as if he hadn't been in the house last night. Chen Jun furrowed his brows and said in a worried tone.

Liu Jing was secretly startled, and hurriedly prompted: "How is it possible, have you gone to the back mountain to see?" ”

"Back Mountain, back mountain, except for the tomb, there is nothing in the back mountain, how can he go anywhere?" Chen Jun wiped his face depressedly, not quite believing that Zelin would run to that gloomy place alone.

"Didn't you look everywhere! Anyway, it's not bad for you to see one more place, but if it doesn't work, tell them and ask them to help you find it. ”

Liu Jing was busy taking care of the children, and left Chen Jun in a hurry, leaving him stunned for a long time before he made up his mind to see the back mountain.

To get to the back mountain, you have to enter the woods that can be seen from Zelin's bedroom, where a thick layer of dead leaves has been piled up, and when you step on it, it is soft and smells of rot.

Chen Jun was in the woods, and suddenly felt like the climate in late autumn, the temperature difference in the house made him feel incredible, and at this time in the woods, he felt that it was too cold here.

Chen Jun used to catch snakes with a strong son to tell the path, which also hinted that he should not step into the woods at will. Even in the back mountain, Hadron did not understand the hint that it was a safe place. What if you do something. He led the way and deliberately bypassed the woods to reach his destination.

But there is one thing that Chen Jun is awake and awake, that is, from the woods directly to the mass grave in the back mountain, the distance is much closer. At that time, he was in a difficult situation, and he had no time to think or ask anything, but he was bent on finding a way to make money, and he had no time to take care of anything else.

The sounds of all kinds of birds in the woods came and went, and if it were in other parks or something, Chen Jun might stop and listen to their gentle chirps, but he was so anxious that he sincerely said that this was not the time to enjoy the scenery.

There are some unknown vines in the woods, the leaves of the vines are oval, and the vine stems have a circle of fine hairy spines. These inconspicuous vines didn't attract Chen Jun's attention, thinking that with pants to cover them, how could they hurt the skin. But he underestimated these plants that grew in the woods, and after less than ten minutes of shuttling through the woods, he felt that something was wrong, and a burning pain in his calf made him have to stop his progress.

Chen Jun lifted his trouser leg to check what was going on in the calf area, there were a lot of hairs on his legs, and at the root of the hairs, a shocking bloody edge came into view. No wonder it hurts, the emotional skin is scratched by those unknown vines, and in some places it is good to ooze tiny beads of blood.

Chen Jun endured the pain and continued to look in the direction of the back mountain. The dew was heavy, and it was true, and when he finally came out of the woods, and saw the bare tombs in front of him, he was so wet that even his hair was covered with dew.

If you think about it carefully, a big living person, early in the morning, in this place full of graves, that feeling is really hard to say. And what do you do if you see something on the grave that you don't want to see? Shout loudly, or run away.

Chen Jun saw a black shadow in the distance, lying on the grave, so startled that his hairs stood on end, his throat tightened, and he almost ran away. Suddenly, the black shadow moved, as if a man had just woken up from sleep, and was still a little confused, looked around in confusion, and suddenly turned around in a panic, jumping faster than him.

Chen Jun was stunned for a moment, looking at this person carefully, God! Exclaimed, this person was actually Zelin. It's weird, how could a big living person run to the cemetery in the middle of the night and sleep for a night.

"Zelin." Chen Jun shouted loudly as he looked at Zelin, who seemed to be running wildly.

At the same time, Zelin also saw Chen Jun standing at the edge of the woods, his expression was frightened, his face was dark and slightly blue-white, and he did not answer Chen Jun's inquiry. Just run over, grab the other party and run.

"Hey! What happened? How did you run to the grave and sleep all night? Chen Jun was a little in pain because his calf was scratched, and he was simply taken up by the other party, and he asked casually when he ran away from the mass grave.
