Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Little White Coffin
In the silent darkness, there was not a trace of sound, only the electric baton in Chen Jialuo's hand emitted the sound of electricity.
The black cat didn't attack, just took its eyes off me and looked at Chen Jialuo, and then the corners of its mouth rose slightly, revealing a weird smile.
The black cat actually smiled, and it looked like a ...... It's like a person laughing.
It's weird, it's so weird!
I didn't dare to think about it at all, so I grabbed Chen Jialuo's arm and pulled him back.
I have a hunch that if Chen Jialuo really uses an electric baton to power the black cat, something extremely terrifying and irreparable may happen.
"What are you afraid of, a black cat!" Chen Jialuo was pulled back by me twice in a row, and this time it was because of the black cat who had always been skinny, and he was a little unhappy.
I swallowed and looked cautiously at the black cat.
At this time, the black cat's two green eyes were still staring at Chen Jialuo, the corners of his mouth were cracked to the root of his ears, and his smile became more and more weird.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that there is something wrong with this black cat!" My heart was pounding.
"What's the problem?"
"I don't know, but I don't know in my heart, this cat feels so weird to me!" My mind is in a mess.
I obviously feel that there is a problem, but I can't say it.
"Isn't it just a cat, what's the problem!" Chen Jialuo is a little cool.
Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps sounded behind us.
Chen Jialuo and I no longer argued about what was wrong with this black cat, and quickly shrank in the dark place of the wall.
In less than a minute, a familiar figure emerged from a thick bush.
The man didn't have a flashlight, as if the darkness around him was like daylight to him.
With the only light I had, I looked towards the man.
The face was like a skeleton, there were no eyeballs on the eyes, only two large black holes, the nose was also deeply sunken, the skin and flesh on the face fell down layer by layer, all old age spots, and there was a long goose goatee on the chin.
This is a walking skeleton!
In the middle of the night, I was so frightened that I almost screamed.
Although this person's appearance looked scary, I recognized at a glance that this was the old man who told my fortune, that is, Ji Banxian from Xiayang Village.
It's dangerous!
If I hadn't stopped Chen Jialuo just now and asked him to go in and clean up the black cat, wouldn't I have collided with Ji Banxian who had just come back?
But this Ji half-immortal is blind, where did he run in the middle of the night?
What shocked me the most was that since Ji Banxian had been away from home, where did the singing we heard just now come from?
Could it be that there is another person in Ji Banxian's family? Is the singing sound sung by the man in the room?
But that's not right, if it's really someone in the house, then why didn't the people in the house come out when I just called?
Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind that I couldn't even believe.
Could it be that the song we heard just now was...... Is it the black cat that sings?
So when I was shouting into the house to see if there was anyone, the black cat suddenly appeared.
Ridiculous, ridiculous!
How could a black cat sing? Or make a woman's voice!
It wasn't until Ji Banxian walked into the house and closed the door, and there was a strange singing voice, that I came back to my senses.
But this time, Chen Jialuo and I didn't have the courage to go in, looked at each other, and nodded.
I can't go again tonight, or I'm coming tomorrow.
When I got home, the more I had a headache, so I simply didn't want to do it, and just covered my head and fell asleep.
I slept until more than 6 p.m.
After having some food in the town, we set off for Xiayang Village.
Also to strengthen my courage, I also drank two taels of white wine, and the whole person was like being beaten with chicken blood.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when I arrived at Xiayang Village.
We waited in the car again until 12 o'clock.
"I'll go by myself later, you wait for me in the car!" I said to Chen Jialuo.
"How's that going to work? I'm not at ease if you go alone! Chen Jialuo shook his head and refused without thinking about it.
"It's dangerous, so you step on the car, if anything happens, I'll run back, and you can support me!" I persuaded him bitterly, "And you also know that I know a little Taoism, this Ji Banxian is not a normal person, I can't take care of you if something really happens, right?" ”
Chen Jialuo touched his chin and pondered for a moment, nodded, and said Then you be careful, if there is anything wrong, you just run back, and I will wait for you here in the car.
I nodded, took a deep breath, and walked towards Ji Banxian's house.
Ji Banxian's door was wide open today, not locked, and there was no singing.
I also saw that the door of his house was wide open, so I dared to go alone, and it was easy to run when the time came, right?
Ji Banxian was sitting on the rocking chair under the vine at this time, holding the black cat in his arms, lying leisurely.
If he had a fan in his hand and a radio in front of his desk, he would have looked like the grandfathers in the courtyard on TV.
But how can a normal person sit under the grapevine in the middle of the night with a black cat in his arms?
I knocked politely on the door and walked in.
At the moment when I stepped into the room, the black cat that was lying quietly in Ji Banxian's arms suddenly meowed, raised its head and looked at me with its green eyes.
There was a threat in his eyes.
I went, and I was threatened by a black cat!
And Ji Banxian's head also turned to me.
He didn't have eyes, but the moment he turned to me, I was angry and had the illusion that he was looking at me!!
After drinking a little wine, I was quite guts, but when he looked at me like this, I actually flinched a little, and stepped into the door with one foot, but I didn't know whether to enter or not.
"Hello, I'm a college student who came to collect wind, and I got lost at night...... Can...... Can you come in and sit down? I asked politely.
With that, I patted the sketchpad behind me with my hand.
I bought this sketchpad on purpose, and there are indeed a few drawings in it, which I just drew today.
You have to do a full set of dramas, don't you?
Ji Banxian didn't speak, just lowered his head and glanced at the black cat in his arms, as if asking.
Then, to my horror, the black cat looked at me in a daze, and then nodded like a human being.
Seeing this scene, my legs were a little weak.
A cat is the owner of this house? That's a ridiculous idea.
Before I could come back to my senses, Ji Banxian beckoned to me and motioned for me to come over.
At this time, I still have the composure I had just now, and my legs are weak.
What did he ask me to do? It's not going to kill me, is it?
But Ji Banxian called me over at this time, and I couldn't stand outside the door and be silent.
I feigned gratitude, said thank you, and walked over to him.
The further I went, the more I felt the cold.
This kind of cold is not the kind of cold that is blown by the wind, but the cold that emanates from the bones, and it feels like the bones are going to be cold out of the ice slag.
And the further I went, the closer I got to Ji Banxian, the more I smelled a very strange smell, the stench of decay.
I thought it was the rancid smell emanating from Ji Banxian's body, but when I really walked in front of Ji Banxian, I found out that this ...... The smell emanated from the black cat.
Standing in front of Ji Banxian, I was like a good baby who had done something wrong and had a weak heart, and I didn't know where to put my hands.
It took me a long time before I squeezed a sentence out of my mouth, "This uncle, I look at you...... It seems like...... Sounds familiar? ”
Ji Banxian was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
I was really stunned when he looked at him.
The reason why I said this sentence was actually to tentatively see if Ji Banxian was really blind.
Because he looked at me with those two black hole eyes before, as if he had seen through my whole being, that's why I asked.
But I didn't expect him to actually nod!
When I saw him, I said it was familiar, but he ...... He can't see me.
Ji Banxian didn't seem to notice my shock, and compared a few things to me.
He spread out his calloused hands and pointed to my head. It means that he once told my fortune.
I'll go, is this old man really blind or fake blind!
"Are you...... Is it the master who told my fortune last time? I feigned shock.
Ji Banxian nodded again.
"But you...... How did you become ...... now," I stammered, my heart full of shock.
Everything was pretended before, and only now this sentence and my expression are true.
I really want to know how the hell he got to be like this.
Ji Banxian showed a wry smile on his face, shook his head and did not speak, but motioned for me to sit down and asked me to wait for him.
He didn't wait for me to reply, and walked into the house on his own.
As soon as Ji Banxian left, I was left alone with the black cat.
As soon as I turned my head, I saw the black cat staring straight at me, and I felt furious when I saw it.
It didn't bark, it just stared at me, and it had the same smile as it had last night.
it, laugh at what a laugh! I'm laughing at Lao Tzu stewed you.
I thought about it viciously, but only to think about it.
The cat smells of rotting flesh and evil all over it, and I dare not provoke it.
I didn't look at it, so I turned my head to look at the room where Ji Banxian went.
At this glance, I saw a very small coffin.
The coffin was placed on an offering table, white as jade, estimated to be the size of my palm.
There are also some offerings on the altar.
Coffin!
My eyebrows skipped a beat.
Nowadays, many rich people put a small coffin at home, but the coffin is gilded, which means to be promoted to become rich.
But the coffin in Ji Banxian's house is white, and it is placed on the altar.
There's only one possibility!
Worship!!!
As I said before, those who die at the age of thirty-five are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave, nor can they worship publicly, which means that there is no such person in the world.
But after all, it is a relative, how can it be said that there is no and there is no more?
So many people will worship secretly.
Looking at the color of the coffin, I was a little surprised.
The color of this coffin is also exquisite.
Traditional Chinese coffins are available in red, black, white, gold, etc.
The red coffin is used for the joy and mourning of those who are over eighty years old and die without illness; The black coffin is generally for the sick or the unusually dead who are killed by a knife or a knife, or commit suicide; White coffins are generally given to juvenile and unmarried female deceased; The golden coffin is generally used by the emperor and the general; Primary colors are generally used by the common people (the poor).
Of course, some of the black coffins placed at home are not colored, and they are prepared for the old people before they die.
So when I saw the white coffin, I was confused.
Didn't you say that this Ji Banxian was childless and daughterless? But the people he worshipped were young unmarried women.
Ji Banxian is at this age, it shouldn't be a daughter, then it's only a granddaughter!
Granddaughter!
Ji Banxian actually has a granddaughter! And the people of the entire Xiayang Village don't know.
I was tickled and shocked, as if I had discovered some amazing secret.
But before I could figure it out, Ji Banxian walked out of the room, holding a large piece of meat in his hand.
This piece of meat is huge, it looks like a human thigh bone, and there are bones.
But the meat was already cooked, white, and still steaming, and it looked like it had just been taken out of the pot.
Ji Banxian walked up to me with the meat and sat down in the rocking chair again.
I looked lost and didn't know what to do.
At first I thought he was giving the meat to the cat, but he suddenly handed it to me and made another gesture.
Is this meat for me?
Ji Banxian saw that I was stunned, and made a gesture again, meaning to let me eat it while it was hot.
Is it really for me?
Damn, do you want to be so nice to me, give me such a big piece of meat.
It is not known whether the meat is from a pig or a cow.
Seeing that I didn't eat, the black cat stood up sharply, and the hair on its back stood up like steel bars.
, this is threatening me, I don't eat and attack me?
I glanced at Ji Banxian again, and a smile appeared on his face, motioning for me to hurry up and eat.
It's just that this kind smile makes me look a little scary and weird.
Eat it, it's just fast meat anyway.
As soon as I gritted my teeth, I lowered my head and was about to bite, but the moment I lowered my head, I saw a small mark on the flesh, which was red.
This...... It's not an imprint.
This is the tattoo!!
