Chapter 54: A Heroine Among Women
Xue Qian and I stood far away, and the two of us looked at the empty coffin, and neither of us would step forward.
Xue Qian said: "Lao Zhao, there is something wrong with this coffin, right?" ”
I hummed: "If it is a dead person, the coffin should be placed in the yard, there is absolutely no reason to put it at the door, and this family is still closed." Unless ......"
Xue Qian understood: "Unless the family doesn't want the dead man in the coffin and intends to turn him away." ”
I nodded.
Xue Qian sighed: "The things we have encountered recently are not very lucky, the two of us die all day?" I'm really afraid that I will come back a few more times and give my life to the account. ”
I looked at him with a wry smile: "Is there a way?" I have to live in an empty house. You have to absorb the yin energy. The two of us can't avoid it, and we always have to deal with those ghosts. ”
Xue Qian muttered in a low voice: "Count the days, in two days, my mother and Mr. Lu should also come back." With them, I still have a bottom in my heart. Then, he pointed to the coffin: "What now?" To deal with him? ”
I scratched my head and said, "Now that we're here, I'll have to go over and see what is going on." ”
It's daylight, and even if there are any ghosts, they have to be restrained. So Xue Qian and I boldly walked over.
When we got closer, we realized that the coffin was not covered. It had its mouth open, and inside lay a man.
This man was none other than the dark glasses we were looking for.
The two of us were amazed: "Why is it so coincidental?" We're looking for him, and he's just dead? ”
Xue Qian said suspiciously: "Dead people can't see the sky twice. I've never heard of putting a person in a coffin without a lid. ”
I looked at my dark glasses for a moment and shook my head gently, "That's not the case with dead people. When a person is dying, he stops after exhaling his last breath, and the flesh on his cheeks relaxes and clings tightly to the skull, turning into a picture of a monkey with a sharp beak and skin and bones. If you look at him again, this face is still very full. It doesn't look like a dead man at all. ”
Xue Qian leaned into the coffin, probed his nose with his fingers, and after a few seconds, he said to me suspiciously, "I'm not breathing." ”
I stared at the chest cavity of my dark glasses, "Wait. "The master of protecting flowers in the national arts
After a few minutes, I saw his ribcage rise and fall in a very small increment.
I said, "It's not that he's not breathing, it's that he's breathing very slowly." The dead can't see the heavens twice, and this kid is not dead, so the coffin lid doesn't need to be closed. ”
Xue Qianqi said: "If you don't die, why do you want to sleep in the coffin?" ”
I pointed to the two black iron doors: "The people inside know. ”
Then I walked over and, without saying a word, slammed the door.
Soon, a woman with a sad face came out of it, she looked at me with squinted eyes, and asked, "Who are you?" What to do? ”
I pointed to the coffin: "Who are you inside?" ”
The woman rolled her eyes: "Does it have anything to do with you?" With that, she was going to close the door.
I hurriedly reached in and slammed the door on. I said, "He's not dead, why put him in a coffin?" ”
When the woman heard this, her hand, which had been going to close the door, slowly lowered. She looked at me with interest: "He's not dead?" How do you know? ”
I said, "He's still breathing, but it's very low. Why didn't you take him to the hospital? ”
The woman said, "The hospital can't cure this disease." With that, he slammed the iron door shut.
I shouted loudly inside, "It's not a disease at all, something happened to your family." ”
After a few seconds, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and then an old lady appeared. She looked at me and Xue Qian, and said lightly, "Come in." ”
Xue Qian and I glanced at each other, both of us a little nervous. We were on full alert and slowly walked into the courtyard.
This house has been built for an unknown number of years, and it looks a little dilapidated. But it was clean.
The old lady led us into the house. I immediately knew what it meant to not show my wealth. The living room is very well decorated, with a lot of valuable things, and at that moment I suddenly understood that the people here deliberately rented these broken houses, probably for safety. My lover is the ancestor
I'm used to sleeping in the broken bed of an empty house, and now I'm sitting on the couch all of a sudden, and I'm so happy that I want to cry.
There are only two women in this household, one old and one young. They looked at me and Xue Qian, and asked lightly, "What are you doing here?" ”
Xue Qian said honestly: "I sell medicine, and I used to buy from him. Recently we noticed that something was wrong with some medicine, so we came to him. ”
The woman sneered: "If you say that, the two of you are not good." ”
The older one raised his hand and told the woman to shut up. She looked at me silently, as if trying to detect my thoughts in my pupils.
I was a little embarrassed by her, and I couldn't help but raise my eyes and glance around.
The old lady took a deep breath and said, "You two have a strong smell of paper ash. You don't look like you're selling medicine. ”
I sniffed and sniffed myself. But I didn't notice the smell of paper ash that the old lady said. I frowned, thinking she was playing tricks, or maybe she was tempting me.
She didn't speak, she stared at me like a monkey.
I was so hairy that she saw that I had to take the initiative to say: "There is something wrong with his medicines, and after taking them, people will have accidents." We're here to ask for an explanation. When the results came, I found him in a coffin and placed outside the door, did you do it? ”
The old lady looked at me and smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. This color is only available to people who smoke regularly.
She said unhurriedly, "Young man. If I were you, I would cry and make a fuss when I came, force the two women to lose money, and then walk away. It will never be like you, asking the bottom of the matter, and actually caring about why people are in coffins. ”
Xue Qian sighed beside me, and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "This old lady is not simple, let's tell the truth." ”
I had to nod and say to the old lady, "The two of us have been running into some dirty stuff lately. So after coming over, I paid special attention to the coffin. ”
The old lady sat up straight, looking a little serious: "What dirty?" ”
I sorted out my thoughts for a moment, and then said, "The origin of this incident is the medicine I bought from you. After eating it, people will have soul disorder. To put it simply, when people are sleeping, there will be an out-of-body experience. We think something is wrong, so we're here to ask you how this medicine is made. "Crossing through rebirth to meet you
The old lady and the woman looked at each other. The woman nodded and said, "It should be right." ”
The old lady sat up slowly, and she circled the room twice. Suddenly, he reached out and took out the big knife I had placed next to the sofa.
The broadsword was originally wrapped in yellow silk. The old lady pulled it out suddenly, and the room was suddenly glittering with cold.
I snatched it up and looked at her nervously, "What are you going to do?" ”
The old lady looked at me with a smile: "What a good knife." And, it's been a year, right? ”
I carefully wrapped the big knife in yellow silk and said, "At the end of the Ming Dynasty." ”
The old lady said: "The big knife at the end of the Ming Dynasty." It's so well preserved. It's a rare treasure now. Will someone walk around with their baby on their back? Unless he's an antique dealer, or maybe the treasure has some other use. Young man, you sue me, what are you using this knife for? Surely you're not here to cut me, an old woman, are you? ”
I don't know why, but I always feel that this old lady has the ability to perceive a qiē. She can deduce a lot of things from the details, and she reminds me of one word: heroine among women.
I put away the big knife and said solemnly: "This knife does not kill people, only ghosts." ”
When I said this, the woman grinned first. She smiled, seemingly pleased with the answer.
But the old lady looked like she had read the world: "The reason why it can kill ghosts is because it has killed many people." ”
Xue Qian sat on the sofa with an impatient expression, he stood up and asked, "Old lady, you have also interrogated us for so long, can you sue us now?" What the hell happened to the black glasses? Why did he put him in a coffin and outside the door? ”
The old lady looked at him and said, "The black glasses are my son." Put him in a coffin because he died. The reason why it is placed outside the door is waiting for you. ”
As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, and the birth and death of the past few days made me extremely vigilant, and I reached out and picked up the big knife, thinking: The old lady is waiting for us? Is this a trap today? But why?
