Chapter 38: The ghost knocks at the door in the middle of the night

"Empty!"

I couldn't turn my mind around at once, but Hai Meirong's corpse was converged, covered and nailed in front of everyone's eyes, how could the corpse disappear now. The most bizarre thing is that the coffin has no traces of destruction at all, the patent leather is intact, can a good corpse disappear out of thin air?

"It looks like someone did something to the corpse."

Chen Jiutong exhaled a puff of cigarette and said what he thought.

"Who?" I asked, there is a very terrifying pusher behind a series of tricks in Hongcun, if someone really did something to Hai Meirong's corpse, it was that pusher who did it.

"It's hard to say, everyone who has access to Mei Rong's body is suspicious." Chen Jiutong said, his face changed a few times and then said: "Among them, the mortuary is the most suspicious. ”

"Leather?!"

I was shocked, at the beginning, Hai Meirong's corpse couldn't close her eyes, and the whole Hong Village was panicked, Wong Tai Sin was scared away, and then it was the leather coat who appeared before he successfully entered the funeral.

Chen Jiutong nodded, took a puff of cigarette, and his face looked a little gloomy under the smoke.

"Could it be a mistake?"

I don't quite believe that the leathercoat is the driving force behind all the tricks, if he is trying to harm me, and I have been with him for so long, he has the opportunity to do something to me, and besides, he has saved me several times, it doesn't look like it.

Chen Jiutong smiled and said, "Think about it, how did Hai Meirong's coffin fall into the water that day?" ”

"Didn't the ghost press the coffin?" I wondered.

"It's not that simple." Chen Jiutong shook his head and said: "This may be a kind of Gu worm in the legend, it can make people's strength become smaller unconsciously, in fact, it is not that the coffin has become heavier, but that people's strength has become smaller, so it can't be lifted." ”

"Gu?!"

I was taken aback, the last time Gao Mingchang suddenly went crazy was caused by Gu, and later I heard the news that he was completely crazy.

And there are traces of Gu here, could it be that the Gu man is really a leather-clad guest? If that's the case, then the Gu worm in Gao Mingchang last time can also be explained, because the leather coater was present at the time, but he didn't know how he took the Gu.

Chen Jiutong was shocked when he saw me, so he said: "It was noon when I was buried, and I was full of yang energy, what ghost dared to come out under the scorching sun?" Moreover, after Hai Meirong's death, she was so angry that she couldn't keep her eyes open, how did the leather-clothed guest close her eyes? Wong Tai Sin, who is over half a hundred years old, can't do it, why can he do it? ”

"Also, the burial has just been completed, and it stands to reason that the spirit should be suspended for three days, so why should I be buried in a hurry? Are you afraid that others will find out what is wrong with the corpse? ”

I didn't know how to answer a series of questions, I felt that it was too unreasonable, there were indeed too many points in the leather coat, and I didn't know what he was trying to do.

"Koharu, you must be wary of the leather boss." Chen Jiutong said to me earnestly: "He is not worthy of your trust, Uncle Jiu can not help you much, so you can do it yourself." ”

With that, he took a bottle of gasoline from the boat and sprinkled it on the coffin, burning the empty coffin.

After that, the two of us re-boarded the boat and returned directly to Hongcun.

……

When I returned to the store again, it was already afternoon, and my mind was chaotic, on the one hand, I was frightened, on the other hand, I was a leather-clothed customer, he really couldn't figure out what the purpose of contacting me was, was it really as Chen Jiutong said that his intentions were not pure?

The last time I asked him directly, he didn't stay in Hongcun for money, but he didn't answer directly, but said that I couldn't know too much, and this reason couldn't convince me.

After thinking about it, I called him again, but the phone never went through, and I didn't know what he was doing, and his phone was just like his person, erratic and strange.

In short, after the events of the morning, maybe there are too many questions about the leather coater, or maybe Chen Jiutong's words have played a role, and I began to doubt the leather coater in my heart.

Compared with him, Chen Jiutong, a Hongcun person who watched me grow up, seems to be more trustworthy, as Chen Jiutong said, even if there are continuous tricks, all the Hongcun people are dead, and it has nothing to do with him, an outsider.

But I am different from Chen Jiutong, our relatives, friends, and loved ones all live and reproduce in the village, and maintaining the peace of Hongcun is our common goal.

The world is all for profit, the world is all for profit, I don't believe that the leather coat is the kind of selfless person.

For the next two days, the people in the village were helping Uncle Chai with his funeral, who had worked as a teacher and was literate and literate. Although he only had a son and a daughter, the funeral was quite lively, and many of his old man's students came from far away to participate.

On the third day, the coffin was buried, and the journey was safe and sound, and there were no accidents.

Although I didn't go to the funeral, I was actually hanging in my heart until I heard the news that Uncle Chai was buried fairly, and I was relieved.

The next two or three days were still uneventful, and the village was exceptionally quiet at night, so quiet that even the dogs didn't bark, and even made me a little panicked. At this time, the weather has gradually turned cooler, and I don't know if it is the reason for sleeping under the quilt, which makes me feel more secure to sleep, and I have a good rest these days.

During this period, he also talked to Gao Xiaolin on the phone a few times, and he said that he was doing chores in Laoshan Temple and was doing well.

……

On this day, it happened to be the first seven days of Uncle Chai, I closed the door early to sleep, settled the black tiger and the rooster, and smeared blood on the door god, so I lay on the bed and played with my mobile phone.

In the middle of the night, the phone suddenly shook and a text message came.

When I saw it, my heart suddenly lifted, it was from a ghost!

It says, "Don't open the door in the middle of the night."

"Tuk-tuk."

As soon as I finished reading the text message, there was a knock on the door of the store.

"Tuk-tuk."

The knock on the door was neither fast nor slow, but it sounded strangely hurried.

I stumbled under my feet, hurriedly retreated to the back, and the text message told me not to open the door, which means that it is very likely that the person who came from outside is not a person!

"Tuk-tuk."

The knocking on the door still didn't stop, and my teeth were fighting, but what made me very strange was that the black tiger and the big rooster didn't react at all, if it was dirty, why weren't they alert?

"Who, who?"

I couldn't help it and shouted.

There was no answer outside, it was still knocking, and I was about to collapse, what is this a person or something? If it's a human being, why don't you speak, if it's not a human being, how can the black tiger and the rooster not react?

I didn't know what to do for a while, hiding in the corner of the room in a cold sweat.

The knocking on the door did not stop until an hour had passed, and then there was no movement.

I was so scared that I didn't close my eyes all night, and the next day I waited until the sun rose and someone passed by in front of the store, and then I opened the door tremblingly.

When I opened the door and carefully checked the glutinous rice outside, I didn't find any traces of discoloration, and I thought to myself that if it wasn't the one, what could it be?

Then I looked everywhere again, trying to see that there were no other traces, but I was disappointed that I didn't find anything, the door was a concrete floor, even if there were footprints and other traces, it was difficult to leave, this was different from the last time, the claws of the claws were too sharp, and the cement floor could leave claw marks.

I unconsciously looked up at the two door gods who asked me, and after a closer look, I realized that something was wrong, the blood on the eyes of the door gods seemed to have turned a little blacker, and it didn't seem to be like this before.

But I'm not sure if it's an anomaly, or maybe it's because it's getting colder.

Then I searched for a long time, but I didn't find anything abnormal, so I had to sweep the glutinous rice on the ground, catch a little dew for the big rooster of Luhua, and go home for breakfast.

I was tired and hungry after a night of nervousness, and I couldn't stand it.

After breakfast, I lay on the recliner at home and fell asleep.

But I didn't sleep for long, I vaguely heard a noise outside, I couldn't sleep well, I woke up and looked at the watch, it was only half past ten, I couldn't help but get up a little angry, and my heart said who is this, you can't let me sleep for a while.

When I walked outside, I saw a lot of people gathered together, noisy like a fried pot, and many people were running around, not knowing what they were doing.

"Something can't happen again, right?"

I chuckled in my heart, the knock on the door last night was so weird that it had to make me have bad associations.

At this time, my mother saw me, so she ran over from that side and said to me with a panicked face: "Chun'er, your old uncle Chai came back last night. ”

"What?"

I almost jumped up when I heard this, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

My mother was also frightened, so she said: "I also heard from others, saying that this morning Chai Dashan found that the door of the house was opened for no reason, thinking that it was a thief in the house, so he went to see if he had lost anything, but this search found that there was nothing missing, but there was one more thing." ”

"What's that?" I had a terrible premonition.

"Uncle Chai's corpse." My mom said with a pale face.

"!"

I scolded, my scalp was numb, Uncle Chai had already been buried, how could he come back?

It makes sense if the soul comes back to see it, because last night was the first seven, and it is also called the night of the soul, but what is the matter with your corpse coming back?

No, we have to check it out!

I hurriedly grabbed my phone key and went out, my mother was startled and shouted at me not to go, but I ignored it.

Chai's house is in the northeast of the village, not too far, when I went to find that there was a large circle of people outside Uncle Chai's house, there was a table on the hall of the house, and there was a person lying on the table, wearing a dark red shroud, it was Uncle Chai who had been buried for four days.

And Chai Dashan and his daughter-in-law knelt on the ground, constantly kowtowing to Chai's uncle, Chai Dashan cried and shouted: "Dad, if you want something, you can give the child a dream, why do you run back like this." ”

"Father-in-law, Dashan and I have also been filial to you all our lives, and I have never blushed with you, why did you say you would come back." Chai Dashan's daughter-in-law was also in a hurry, and her eyes were swollen from crying.

Outside the door, the village chief Ma Yongde stood there and kept shaking his head and sighing, Hong Village has recently had a series of unpeaceful incidents, and the whole village is panicked.

At this time, a group of people ran back outside, and I saw that it was Ma Jialiang, Ma Yong, and a few descendants of the Chai and Chen families. The direction of coming is the back mountain, I think it should have been sent by Ma Yongde to check the grave of Uncle Chai, and now he is back.

"Oh no, my uncle's grave has been dug up."

A descendant of the Chai family rushed in and said loudly to Ma Yongde, with a frightened face.

"Who is so lacking in virtue?"

"It's not authentic."

“……”

As soon as the words came out, the entire onlookers exploded.

Chai Dashan immediately jumped to his feet, "Which turtle grandson dares to touch my father's grave, Lao Tzu fought with him!" ”

After saying that, he rushed into the house and took out a woodcutter, and tried to find someone desperately with red eyes, but at the moment he didn't know who did it, and he didn't know who to find for a while.

When Ma Yong saw me at this time, he squeezed me over and pulled me aside, and Ma Jialiang also followed.

"What's the situation?" Walking to the position where no one was, I asked.

Ma Yong looked to the side and made sure that there was no one, so he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Uncle Chai's grave has been dug up." ”

I nodded, saying I just heard that.

"You didn't hear the key." Ma Yong's face turned a little pale, and he said, "The grave was dug from the inside!" ”
