Chapter 3 Paper Money Paves the Way

"My mother?"

I was immediately startled when I heard what my master said, of course I knew what my master meant by this, the woman just now was the she-wolf who gave me milk to drink when I was a child!

Seeing that my face turned pale, the master immediately walked over, "What did she tell you just now?" ”

I was a little panicked, and even a little overwhelmed, my mother actually came to see me, but why didn't she just say it.

I told my master everything my mother had just said word for word, and he sneered and looked outside.

"People are humane, demons have demons, if you really want Xiaotian's good, don't come here again!"

The master's voice was very loud, I stared nervously at the dark door, I don't know if it was my delusion or what, in the darkness I felt a pair of eyes looking at me for a long, long time, but finally I was overwhelmed by the darkness, disappeared, and never appeared again......

After this day, I thought that my mother would not come to see me again, and there was no more hare or anything like that at the door, until one day at noon, the village chief pushed the door in with a sigh on his face.

Because it was a cloudy day today, my master didn't go out, and when he saw the village chief coming in, he naturally stood up and greeted him, and I also walked over curiously.

"Alas, the carpenter Chen at the head of the village is dead, Lao Li, you can help deal with it."

The village chief's voice was a little strange, as if he had seen something terrible.

The master frowned and asked, "How did Carpenter Chen die?" ”

I am also very curious in my heart, this Chen carpenter I secretly told him his fortune before, just talk about the life expectancy, not to mention the longevity of a hundred years, but it should be no problem to live at least seventy or eighty years old, but if I remember correctly, Chen carpenter should be less than forty.

Could it be that my fortune-telling skills are too poor?

The village chief shook his head with a pale face, "I can't tell ...... either."

"Village chief, if there's anything, just say it directly." My master said.

Hearing what the village chief said, I was also curious.

The village chief hesitated for a moment before he said tremblingly, "It seems that he didn't die by himself, nor did he kill him, but ......."

"And what?" I asked.

The village chief took a deep breath before continuing, "It was bitten to death by some wild beast, and Carpenter Chen's entire heart was hollowed out, which was very scary......"

I'm shocked, beast? Don't......

The master's face sank, he packed up the funeral things and followed the village chief out, I wanted to follow, but my master turned his head and stared at me with a somewhat terrifying face, "Stay in the store!" Remember, if that animal comes again, tell her that she will be punished for doing these things! ”

After saying this, the master had already walked out, and I stood on the spot, even at a loss, and Carpenter Zhang was killed by my mother again?

Why?

Why did my mom kill someone?

I didn't know how I spent the afternoon, and when I came back to my senses, it was already raining outside, and it was still torrential rain, and I was awakened by the rainstorm.

When I looked at the time, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

I was worried that the master would not be able to come back, so I quickly closed the store and went to Carpenter Chen's house to pick up my master with the big umbrella in the house.

In fact, I want to see more about how Carpenter Chen died.

Carpenter Chen's house is at the head of the village, one kilometer away from the store, I am holding a big umbrella on the road walking quickly, I see Carpenter Chen's house is brightly lit from afar, on our side, people can only be buried three days after death, so today is the first day.

Soon I arrived at Carpenter Chen's house, and the mourning hall was located in the hall of his house, which was not big, so the mourning hall looked crowded, because I only found out that he was dead today, so everything looked like nothing was arranged.

Carpenter Chen's body was placed on two long benches and a wooden plank, covered with a white cloth, and the coffin was also delivered, so he could only be wronged like this first, but a photo of Carpenter Chen was already placed in the middle of the hall.

There were quite few people in the mourning hall, and tomorrow was the time to come to the guests, so after I came in, I didn't see my master, so I quickly walked towards Carpenter Chen's corpse and slowly uncovered the white cloth.

I saw Carpenter Chen's miserable white face, his eyes were round, the pupils in his eyes had disappeared, and his eyes full of whites were staring at me, as if I had hurt him.

Such a terrifying scene scared me when I suddenly saw it, and I couldn't see it? I felt my legs tremble, but in order to find out if it was my mother who killed him, I could only grit my teeth and continue to lift the white cloth.

At this time, I heard my master's indifferent voice coming over, "Xiaotian, why are you here?" Didn't I let you see the store? ”

A voice suddenly sounded behind me, which made me take a few steps back on the spot, I looked at the master with a pale face, and pointed at Carpenter Chen with trembling hands, "Master, his eyes are not closed." ”

"Hmph, I died so miserably, of course I can't close it!"

My master snorted coldly and walked over, and then asked me with a serious face, "Did the animal come here?" ”

I felt a little relieved when the master was by my side, but when I heard the master say this about my mother, I felt bitter in my heart, and even wanted to refute it, but I didn't have the confidence...... Mom, why do you still kill people?

Shaking my head, I shook my head with red eyes.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the master said, "Go back today, prepare well tomorrow, and let's go up the mountain!" ”

"Up the mountain? Why go up the mountain? I felt that the master's tone was wrong, and I even felt a coldness, so I immediately asked.

"Why? Kill for your life! ”

My master dropped this sentence, took the umbrella in my hand and walked out.

I was stunned and at a loss, panicked, I felt panicked, the master was going to kill my mother?

In a confusion in my mind, I walked over to Carpenter Chen's corpse and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, and I was stunned.

Carpenter Chen's entire heart socket was taken out, as if it had been caused by some sharp claw, and his heart was gone, empty, just like when we killed a fish, we had to open our stomachs and take out all the internal organs, which was shocking......

Trembling back a few steps, seeing this state of death, the only trace of luck left in my heart collapsed, Mom, is it really the person you killed?

I don't know how I got back, but I know that I can't let my mom who nursed me when I was a kid!

When I got home, I waited for the master to go back to my room, packed up some things, sneaked into the room, and ran up the hill.

The road was very slippery because of the rain, and it was very dark, I ran alone on the road with a flashlight, and several times I fell to the ground, but gritted my teeth and recognized the mountain to run.

The mountain is behind our village, but we have to pass by the cemetery, which is the place where people in our village will be buried after they die, because Uncle Zhang died a few days ago, so there is a lot of soaked paper money on this road, like wood pulp, which extends all the way in the dark night, which makes me feel a little cautious, and I can't help but speed up my pace.

But no matter how I ran, a small hill in the distance was very obvious in the dark night, and the wind was constantly whirring and rowing, making everything look eerie.

I gritted my teeth, if my master said that the person had just died, the soul would wander around, and I had been with the master for so long, I had never seen a ghost, but it didn't mean that I didn't believe in ghosts, after all, Uncle Zhang had been dead for a few days.

Just as I was about to run over in one breath, an extremely harsh sound pierced the sky, and the first thing that came into my ears was a "poof, poof" sound, and then a very strange laughter:

"Boom, boom, boom......"

This sudden sound startled me, and I subconsciously raised the flashlight and shone it towards the place where the sound came from.

I almost screamed out in fright, but there was an owl the size of a head staring at me, and it was a skull-sized owl staring at me, and it kept opening its mouth, like a human being, making a strange cry of "clucking ......".

I was covered in a cold sweat, hearing this sound in this barren mountain and wilderness really made me choke, fortunately I was more courageous, otherwise I would have run away.

Covered in the owl's stare at me, I muttered, picked up a rock and threw it at the owl.

The owl gurgled a few times, dodged and flew up, I shook my head and was about to continue walking, but suddenly I heard another voice, the stone I just threw seemed to have hit a plank, how could there be a plank in this graveyard?

I reflexively shone the flashlight, gritted my teeth and walked over, the light shone over, it was a newly erected tombstone, with Zhang Shuquan's name written on it, isn't this the tomb of Uncle Zhang who just died?

I sighed in my heart and wanted to go over and kowtow to Uncle Zhang, but I saw that behind the tombstone illuminated by the light, there seemed to be a depression, no, a pit!

I hurriedly ran over with wide eyes, only to find that the newly erected Uncle Zhang's grave had been dug up, revealing the black coffin inside, and the stone I had just thrown out was on it!
