I was tense all over, and I was concentrating on walking towards the iron gate, when Yuxin suddenly pulled like this, I instinctively shuddered, and I paused suddenly. Yuxin was also startled by my reaction and stepped back.

"What's wrong?" I looked left and right and asked in a low voice.

"I..." Yu Xin looked a little cramped.

"What's wrong?" I asked again.

Yu Xin lowered her head and said in a weak mosquito voice, "I... I want to go to the toilet..."

I let out a long breath, stroked my chest, and smiled, "Scared me, I thought you had found something..."

In fact, I was also a little anxious and nervous.

"Oops, laugh, laugh..."

Yuxin lowered her head and stomped her foot lightly.

"Okay, don't laugh, let's go, I'll go with you."

Yu Xin didn't say anything, snorted softly, rubbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, lowered her head and turned around, and walked towards the way she came. The toilet was directly west of the flower pond we had bypassed, next to the outer wall of the incineration workshop, and the entrance to the women's toilet was directly above the chimney.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, standing in this place, vaguely seems to smell a strange smell, sour, moreover, because there is no wind, coupled with quiet, the atmosphere is particularly depressing and dull, there seems to be a slimy breath, stained on the skin exposed in the air, it feels itchy, I can't wait to scratch it with my hands...

Although I have dealt with the dead a lot, I rarely come to places like the funeral parlor, and I never visit them once at night.

To ease the tension in my heart, I half-jokingly said, "I don't mind accompanying you in if you're scared..."

"I'll kick you!"

"Hehe... Go ahead, I'll go too. ”

"You... Don't run around. ”

"Don't worry..."

Seeing Yuxin walk into the toilet, I walked towards the men's toilet. The men's restroom is right next door to the women's restroom. The toilet in this funeral parlor is of the kind of groove type, with a long ditch that runs through each squatting pit, and is probably connected to the stinky river behind the funeral parlor. Toilets like this are not clean, and there is a lot of filth at the bottom of the ditch, as well as clumps of dry paper.

Because I was worried that Yuxin was afraid, I hurriedly finished it, scooped up the water and washed my hands, stood up, and was about to walk out when I suddenly heard faint footsteps outside...

The footsteps were soft, 'clattering'. I didn't take it seriously, I thought it was Yuxin, and I raised my feet and walked out. At this time, I heard Yu Xin's voice next door, "Ah Leng, is it you..."

It was like someone poured cold water on my head, and it was cold from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Yuxin is still in the toilet, who is walking outside...

The footsteps were still ringing...'Click...', and if you listened closely, it felt as if it wasn't footsteps, but the sound of insects eating leaves, and it looked like something was chewing food. When I heard it, it seemed to be quite close to the toilet, but if I listened closely, it seemed to come from far away...

Seeing that I didn't respond, Yuxin might have been scared, and there was no movement next door. The voice is still ringing... I gritted my teeth, the muscles of my whole body tensed, I slowly took out an ice charm from my pocket, touched the ground on my toes, held my breath, and walked towards the door step by step...

When I was almost at the door, the 'footsteps' suddenly disappeared. I clenched my fists, shouted and rushed out, and when I looked, the yard was empty.

"Yuxin?" I shouted.

"I'm here..."

"Don't be afraid, come out."

Yuxin cautiously walked out of the toilet, her face pale.

"Ah Leng, what was that just now..."

I shook my head, feeling a chill on my back, my eyes as big as bells, and I hunched over and looked on the ground... Suddenly, I noticed that more than two meters away from me, there was something the size of a copper coin nailed. I walked up to me, leaned over and touched it with my hand, and it shattered... I dipped a little bit of debris in my hand, put it next to my nose and smelled it, and my brows twisted up a little...

"What is this?" Yuxin asked in a low voice.

I waved my hand, turned my head, and looked at the incineration workshop...

"Come..."

With that, I stood up, beckoned, and walked towards the incineration workshop first. When I got to the door, I tried to push it down, but it didn't move, it was locked.

Thoughts swirled in my mind, and my eyes followed the wall and looked north.

"Yuxin, follow me..."

Yuxin followed me, walked along the wall of the house, and came to the door of the mourning hall, both of them were stunned... The door was open... I remember clearly, when we came here just now, the door was obviously locked, but at this moment, a crack was opened...

Yuxin and I glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, we both saw fear. I took out my phone and looked at the time, and it was almost time. I shone it in with my mobile phone along the crack of the door, and I saw that the mourning hall was dark, as if there was a fog floating, and there was a faint cold air flow blowing out from the crack in the door...

I pricked up my ears and listened, but there was no movement inside.

I was worried in my heart, but I comforted Yuxin and said, "Don't be afraid..."

As he spoke, he pushed it with his hand, and the door retreated. I leaned sideways, took Yuxin's arm, and stepped into the mourning hall first...

This is the place where we see during the day, where mourning and funerals are heard. The mourning hall was empty and gloomy, with white cloth nailed to the mottled walls and two horns. In this mourning hall, even the sound of breathing can be heard.

On the wall north of the mourning hall, there is a large blackboard inlaid with unwiped handwriting on it. Hanging couplets hung on both sides of the blackboard. On the south wall of the mourning hall, there is a small door.

I walked up to Yuxin with me and saw that the door was also open. Across this gate is a sandwich more than a meter wide, and against the wall stand two stretchers for carrying corpses, which look quite old. In addition, there is a door in this mecca...

To be precise, it's a doorway, because there's no door panel at all. The hole was neither high nor wide, and with my stature, I had to hunch over to get through. Through the doorway, we came to the incineration workshop of this funeral home...

This is the heart of this funeral parlor, and no matter who is sent in, they will not be able to escape this burn in the end. In the middle of the workshop is a huge crematorium, next to which stands a long-handled hammer, a scratcher, a shovel, an iron drill... and all kinds of tools, all of which are used when burning corpses... A person, no matter how rich you are, how status, how beautiful you are in life, once you are sent here after death, in the eyes of the cremator, it is just a pile of dead meat, and these various tools are used against you... It takes at least an hour for a person to be pushed into the furnace to when he is pulled out, during which time the burner has to constantly turn off the fire and open the furnace door to check, and poke the corpse with a long iron hammer, so that it is easy to burn through and save energy. When encountering 'parts' that are not easy to burn, such as the head, which is half-baked, it is poked with an iron drill and picked out of the furnace. In the process, the head was still 'squeaking', it was the sound of corpse oil, and besides, the brain was like cooked milk, white and steaming, flowing out of the hole poked out of the iron drill, 'plopping and plopping'. After picking it out, put it in an iron box, and then you have to use a hammer, smash your head with a tom, shovel it with a shovel, throw it into the furnace and burn it... As for the scratcher, it is used to scratch the ashes, and when you encounter a large piece of stubborn bones that can't fit into the box, you have to use a hammer to smash them after they are picked up, so don't think like the Tang monks, expect to have any relics to pass on to future generations after death, and even if there is, they will be wiped by the master who burned the corpse, and they will be broken by a hammer... Having talked so much, in fact, it is to let you know about the mysterious, traditional process of cremating the dead. The so-called cremation, in fact, to put it bluntly, is the legendary bones and ashes...

Earlier, the small piece of 'thing' I saw on the ground outside felt like a piece of ashes, so I set my sights on the incineration workshop. As far as I can see, there are indeed ashes scattered under the crematorium in this workshop. Could it be that the two doors leading to the incineration room were open because I was in the toilet when I heard the 'footsteps' of the thing coming in? … What the hell is that? Li Juanjuan? … Thinking of this, I can't wait to go to the morgue to have a look...

At this time, Yuxin suddenly said, "Ah Leng, look, what is that?" ”

looked at Yuxin's fingers, and saw that in the dark corner of the incineration workshop, there was actually a coffin! I wondered a little in my heart, how could there be a coffin here? …

Walked to the front and took a photo with a mobile phone, only to see that this coffin is narrow and long, which looks very different from ordinary coffins, and the most bizarre thing is that the color of this coffin is actually blood red, and the coffin has a black pen written on the head of the coffin with the word 'lay'.

I let Yuxin hold my mobile phone, and when I reached out and knocked on it, I found that this coffin was actually made of paper, paper coffin! I looked back at the crematorium, and it was said that when the body was put into the coffin, it was a coffin, not a wooden coffin, but a paper coffin. So obviously, the red coffin in front of him is used to hold the corpse into the furnace. Right now, the coffin is here, but what about the corpse? If the body was burned, then why was the coffin not burned? …

My heart sank, could it be that the body was originally lying in the coffin and walked out? … In addition to Li Juanjuan, are there other corpses in this funeral home? …

"Yuxin, go! …”

Yuxin and I went out of the incineration workshop to see the time, it was past eleven o'clock. Walked all the way to the backyard of the funeral home, climbed over the iron gate, and came to the door of the morgue where Li Juanjuan's body was parked. Reaching out and pushing, the door was locked. We don't know how to open locks, although there is a wall-piercing technique in the Qimen spell, even the master has not cultivated there. We had no choice but to wander around this yard and find nothing.

Looking around, my eyes fell on the high wall of this backyard, and a thought suddenly occurred to me.

"Yuxin, you wait at the bottom, I'll go up to the wall and take a look."

"Hmm..."

I climbed up the wall along the tree, stabilized myself, and slowly stood up. I looked around the funeral home and didn't find anything unusual. So he turned around cautiously and looked at the stinky river behind the funeral home. Eyes swept along the ditch to the east, and I suddenly saw two people lying side by side on the bank of the east ditch, one of them was a straight woman, vaguely Li Juanjuan...
