Chapter 5: The Human Skin in the Coffin

"The villagers are waiting outside, if you don't go, I'm afraid some things are not easy to explain, but some villagers saw you go to the dog's house last night! In addition, you led people to bury Lin Goudan in a hurry, but Lin Goudan buried an empty coffin in Lin Goudan's grave, and you have to explain this to the villagers, don't you? Li Aiguo said.

As he spoke, I could already see the light of the fire outside, our side was relatively backward, and the flashlight for lighting at night was too luxurious, so most of them were lit by torches made of pine oil.

The fire was blazing outside, which was enough to show that many people had gathered outside my yard.

What Li Aiguo said to the villagers, it is conceivable that it must be inseparable from the words that Li Erwa came to say in the afternoon. In the current situation, grandpa has to go if he doesn't go, and grandpa doesn't go to say that he acquiesces that he did all those things by himself.

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

Grandpa stood up and pinned the tobacco pouch to the waistband of his trousers.

I don't know what Grandpa was thinking at the time, but one thing I'm sure of is that Li Aiguo suspected that it was my grandfather who killed Lin Goudan, and he thought that my grandfather would attack a few other people tonight.

A few people who came with Li Erwa in the afternoon looked at my grandfather with a wistful look on their faces when they left, in fact, they didn't want to ask my grandfather to save them, but wanted to ask my grandfather to let them go.

Li Aiguo said that he came to invite my grandfather to the wheat field, but in fact, he came to force the palace, and his grandfather couldn't go if he didn't go. When I went to the wheat field, the villagers watched me, just so that my grandfather would not have the opportunity to kill people.

But, is this possible?

I suddenly felt that Li Aiguo and these villagers were ridiculous, how worried my grandfather was about them I know very well, when I cut down trees and smashed the temple, my grandfather was more nervous than anyone present, something happened, they would rather believe a person's nonsense than believe my grandfather's innocence, I felt cold for my grandfather.

Grandpa once risked his life to save Uncle Goudan, how could he kill Uncle Goudan, what did my grandfather go to Uncle Goudan last night for, just to send a talisman to Uncle Goudan and let him save his life.

Just when my grandfather was about to go with Li Aiguo, my father suddenly walked out of the house, and he, who had always been silent, stood in front of my grandfather at this time, and he said: "Village Chief Li, my father can't go with you!" ”

To be honest, it was surprising that Daddy suddenly rushed out, and he couldn't help my grandfather by doing this.

Li Aiguo glanced back at my father, and said with a smile: "What, if you want to harbor and shield Lao Tzu as a son, or do you want to blame the old man?" ”

My father was about to speak, but my grandfather pushed him away and said, "Little calf, go back, what kind of coaxing is you going to follow?" Your father and I are sitting upright, what can you do when you go to the wheat field to chat with the villagers for a while? ”

"Daddy......" my dad shouted, but was interrupted again by my grandfather's words.

"Alright, it's nothing, I'm going to see what the empty coffin of the dog can be!" After Grandpa finished speaking, he fluttered his sleeves and walked towards the gate without looking back.

I know what my dad is worried about, Li Aiguo is a very serious person, he has always been very jealous of his grandfather's status in the hearts of the villagers, and it is true that sometimes, he, the village head, is like a decoration.

For example, grandpa's sentence can make the villagers obediently obey orders, but Li Aiguo can only use money to buy people's hearts.

This time, my grandfather and Li Aiguo went to the wheat field together, I am afraid that it was originally designed by Li Aiguo, and he made a trap and waited for my grandfather to jump, and my grandfather had to jump.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains, and this is also my grandfather's character.

After my grandfather left, my father asked my grandmother, my mother, and Xiaowei to hide in the house, and he locked the door from the outside, and this time he took me with him for the first time.

When I arrived at the wheat field, I saw my grandfather sitting on the Taishi chair in the center of the wheat field, and the surrounding villagers were all holding torches and surrounding my grandfather in a circle.

Li Aiguo was standing outside the circle, and I could seem to see a faint smile on his face.

Li Erwa stood on the other side with a few people, they were all holding torches, and what was surrounded by several of them in the center was a coffin, the coffin was stained with mud, it should be Uncle Godan's coffin, which was dug up by them.

In addition to this, I also saw that the villagers were holding torches in a shape that I was very familiar with, which I often saw in my grandfather's old books, which was called Tai Chi Yin and Yang Diagram.

Li Aiguo kept saying that he didn't believe in any evil, and now he used such a method to deal with my grandfather, but he is a village chief, but he is just an ordinary person, how can he understand this?

Could it be that there is another master behind Li Aiguo?

I looked around, but I didn't see the oily Taoist priest when I cut down the tree, and I didn't see other unfamiliar faces, and the more this happened, the more uneasy it made my heart feel uneasy.

"Dad, what are they going to do to Grandpa?" I asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, but today is not a cloudy day, nor is it the end of the month, there is no moon in the sky, this is not normal, then Li Aiguo is not so simple......"

After a while, Dad went to look at the coffin near Li Erwa, and when he came back, Dad whispered to me: "That's indeed your Uncle Dog's coffin, but the coffin doesn't look normal, it seems to have been tampered with. ”

I nodded, the method that my dad said was middle finger blood, and he told me that when I encountered a special situation, I should bite my middle finger and bounce it to the other person's body with middle finger blood to break the siege.

When I was a child, my dad would let me practice once a month in order to make me remember, and every time I had to really bite my middle finger, so every fifteenth month was my nightmare.

This is the first time my dad has asked me to use this method, so it can be seen that the severity of the truth tonight is definitely beyond my imagination, especially the coffin of Uncle Godan, the more I look at it, the more chills down my spine.

Li Aiguo said that Uncle Goudan's coffin is empty, if it is really empty, it is my grandfather who presides over the funeral, and my grandfather has something to do with it, he is trying to find a way to pour dirty water on my grandfather.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Aiguo to walk towards the coffin, and several people lifted the coffin, one of the older ones was called Zhu Danian, he was a butcher, and several nearby villages were looking for him to kill pigs and sheep for the New Year. Zhu Danian's hands are simply a scale, and he knows two catties when he weighs them, and there is no error.

As soon as the coffin was raised, Zhu Danian said: "This is indeed an empty coffin, there is no body in it!" ”

Everyone carried the coffin to a place where the torch was brighter, and prepared to open the coffin for inspection, but was it really necessary for Li Aiguo to make such a big move, did grandpa really do something to Lin Goudan's coffin, and if he really did that, what was it for?

This reminds me again of my grandfather and Lin Goudan being alone, and they seem to have an ulterior secret between them, so what is it?

Li Aiguo was proud, he walked over and said, "Open the coffin, open the coffin!" "He was in a hurry to pour dirty water on my grandfather's body.

A few laborers, plus the butcher Zhu Danian, opened the coffin after dividing it by two.

The moment the coffin was opened, the people around were stunned again, why, because the coffin was not empty, but the things inside were too light, it was a human skin.

A translucent human skin, a bit like a snake's skin, can vaguely identify Lin Goudan's face.

Lin Goudan's coffin was not empty, but shed a layer of skin after being buried, and what became of Lin Goudan's molted skin and where it went, it is unknown.

No one knew what was going on, and my grandfather stood up, and his face was a little surprised, but then it turned into a smile, and his smile was meaningful, and he didn't know what it meant.

The onlookers only speculated and said everything.

Li Aiguo walked to the torch ring, and he stared at my grandfather as if he were interrogating a prisoner.

It's just that he did try his best to speak, but my grandfather's answer has always been only one sentence, I don't know! The coffin was not empty, at least proving the innocence of the grandfather, although it was only a human skin.

"Uncle Changsheng, don't toast or eat and drink!" Then Li Aiguo stared at my grandfather and said.

"I'd like to see what it means to punish wine!" Grandpa's attitude was quite tough, and Li Aiguo's lips trembled a little, but with so many villagers watching, he didn't dare to do anything to my grandfather, so he could only speak quickly for a while.

A farce directed and acted by Li Aiguo is only halfway through here, and the rest of the time is waiting.

Everyone is waiting, especially Li Aiguo.

What are you waiting for?

My grandfather said there would be deaths tonight, and they thought it was my grandfather who killed the people. They stared at my grandfather like this, firstly, so that my grandfather would not have a chance to kill him, and secondly, if he stayed up until tomorrow morning and nothing happened, then my grandfather would be regarded as a murderer.

The villagers, especially the idle old ladies, talked nonsense while eating melon seeds.

Some people say that my grandfather is practicing evil arts, and he needs to suck people's essence and blood, so he will harm people; Some people say that my grandfather was originally a goblin, or our Yang family has been passed down for several generations, and the babies born have been sucked by my grandfather. Anyway, I really admire their imagination.

It was so consumed until about two o'clock in the middle of the night that most people were dozing off.

Suddenly, a cold wind struck, breaking the calm in the threshing floor.

The torches in the hands of the villagers were slashed to pieces, and those who had dozed off woke up.

Grandpa stopped the cigarette pouch in his hand, and he looked around, his expression becoming very solemn.

He couldn't say anything, and it wasn't fit to speak at this time, so he could only continue smoking a dry tobacco pouch.

At this time, Li Aiguo reminded the villagers: "Everyone is staring at me, don't let some people take advantage of the loophole at this time!" ”

Li Aiguo didn't forget to stare at my grandfather when he spoke, as if my grandfather really knew what to do.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and a thick fog even begins to appear around the wheat field, and the cold feeling crawls all over the body in an instant, and there are so many people who are still very scared, and I can't help but get close to my father.

Gradually, the dense fog shrouded the entire wheat field, and many villagers could no longer stand it and began to run away secretly. And Li Aiguo's shouting doesn't work, in this case, even a fool knows that something is going to happen!

However, before all the villagers could evacuate, something happened!

A man suddenly fell to the ground and struggled frantically, he grabbed his neck, his body twisted to an angle that ordinary people could not reach at all, his bones made a burst of cracking sounds, and his wide eyes kept bulging out, as if he might fall to the ground at any moment.
