Chapter 3 - Trapped in the City

After an autopsy, it was determined that Cheng Xi's death was purely accidental, and there was no doubt about it, so he stopped all investigations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Her body was placed in a makeshift hut, where the Taoist priest was shouting and singing, firecrackers, money paper, candles, mourning clothes, everything seemed to be there.

――It is worthy of a one-stop service, all of which should be complete!

People come and go in the mourning hall, either familiar or unfamiliar, and some old friends and distant relatives of Cheng's parents come and go.

Li Li was busy greeting people in and out, hiding from time to time to smoke, and when he saw that there was no one around, he called the woman named Xiaoxia.

Cheng Xi was angry in his heart, looking at the two postures of others in front of him and behind him, he couldn't reach it, he couldn't hear it, and he couldn't hear it, so he had to stop looking at it.

In the afternoon of the next day, Cheng's mother was taken out of the hospital, her mood calmed down a lot, and she followed Cheng's father to deal with the visitors, sobbing and wiping her tears from time to time.

Cheng's father saw her crying and sad face, and felt uncomfortable, so he picked up the soju on the side and drank a small half bottle, and said, "If you want to cry, cry inside." ”

Cheng's mother opened her mouth, her throat choked, her eyes were red again, Cheng's father was angry, and he was about to have a seizure, when he caught a glimpse of a car driving at the door, and stopped straight on the side of the road.

Cheng's father was stunned, rubbed his eyes and looked over, two people in suits and leather shoes got out of the car, the two looked around, and then walked towards Cheng's father.

Cheng's father's face sank, and he walked forward with Cheng's mother, and he glanced at the two. The two disagreed, and when they saw Cheng's father walking out, they took them out to the corner together.

The two of them are new faces, Cheng's father's reaction was slightly abnormal, Cheng Xi was curious, and he followed.

Around the corner, the two looked back and forth to make sure that there was no one else, took out an envelope, and said with a straight look: "Lao Cheng, this is the last money, don't forget to take care of your mouth after receiving the money." ”

Cheng's father had a dark face, took the envelope and pinched it, frowning, "That's it?"

"People are dead, how much more do you want? There are 30,000 yuan in it, and the boss said that it has been read for the sake of your mouth that is still strict all these years, or you won't get a dime." The two glanced at Cheng's father impatiently.

Listening to the conversation of his father, Cheng Xi's heart trembled, and he hurriedly floated to their side to find out.

Cheng's father twitched his facial muscles a few times, and shouted angrily in his voice: "Don't want to demolish the bridge when you cross the river, you want to send me away for 30,000 yuan, and if you are in a hurry, I will shake it all out for her." ”

"We're just passing the word, what will happen if you shake it out, you can weigh it yourself. The two of them snorted coldly with disdain, took out their sunglasses and put them on, threw down the words and left.

"You ......" Cheng's father was so angry that his whole body twitched, and he swallowed his words back with gritted teeth, and kicked at Cheng's mother beside him.

Seeing that Cheng's mother was still in tears, Cheng's father pointed his finger against her head and scolded: "Cry! What's the use of crying? It turns out that there can still be a 10,000 yuan in the account every month, but now the hair is gone, wait to drink the northwest wind." ”

Cheng's mother pursed her lips and cried even more fiercely. Cheng's father opened his mouth, glared at her a few times with his eyes, then sighed heavily, rushed back to the shed angrily, and lit a cigarette silently.

- Mom, who are they and why did they give you money?

Cheng Xi was suddenly shocked in her heart, and shouted in Cheng's mother's ear, but unfortunately she couldn't hear the still whimpering, and her mouth kept crushing: "It's gone, there's nothing." ”

At this time, Cheng Xi's uncle came over, patted Cheng's mother and comforted her, and then helped her back. Cheng Xi bared his teeth anxiously, and there was a faint bad intention in his heart.

Cheng Xi floated back to the shed faintly, Cheng's father was gone, leaving a bunch of relatives and friends talking to each other, Cheng's mother had red eyes, sat on the side and counted the silk gold, sighed again and again, and was worried about the money in her hand.

The Taoist priest in the shed continued to shout, and Cheng's father didn't come back until the evening, looking a little impatient, frowning and glancing at the people around him, and turned around to leave. Cheng's mother was a little unhappy, so she came to Cheng's father's ear and muttered a few times, and then stopped Cheng's father, and then they silently followed the Taoist priest's arrangement to burn and worship.

In the face of the rituals over and over again, and the people around him, Cheng's father became more and more impatient, and whispered to Cheng's mother with a face: "Dead girl, it's not worrying to be dead." ”

Cheng's mother was shocked, and she hurriedly covered his mouth and looked around a few times, leaned into his ear, and muttered and complained: "You are sincere enough to make people listen to it, and the old thing still can't stop talking." Cheng's father chattered a few more times angrily before he stopped.

In the next two days, Cheng's father and Cheng's mother were also silent, but they were not as sad as the previous two days, Cheng Xi floated in the sky, their every move was in their eyes, and their hearts trembled.

Today is the day of Cheng Xi's funeral, around 5 o'clock in the morning, before dawn, a few cars with white paper flowers came.

The person who got out of the car talked to Cheng's father for a few words, and then walked straight into the shed where Cheng Xi's body was kept.

Cheng Xi's body was carried by four people, put into a small truck covered in dirt, and placed her in the back of the car to pull the goods. Others also got into the back cars.

With the sound of "Bang!~Bang!~Bang!~~" strings of firecrackers and mourning music, a group of cars slowly drove on the road.

The car didn't drive fast, Cheng Xi was in a hurry, worried that he would become a lonely ghost in the legend, so he hurriedly followed.

After a few days of adaptation, Cheng Xi has been able to control the direction of floating, and it is not too difficult to keep up.

I used to hear that there would be bull heads and horse faces to summon spirits, but after several days, Cheng Xi didn't even see a ghost. The heart is to put the corpse in this world into the ground before he can go down to report for duty, Cheng Xi was afraid of losing it, so his eyes were locked on the car.

About an hour later, the sky was white, and Cheng Xi followed the car in the wind along the way, a little puzzled in his heart, saying that the ghost was afraid of seeing the light, and he didn't seem to feel any threat from the sun, but it was a good thing, otherwise he wouldn't be able to follow.

The convoy drove into the funeral home, Cheng Xi watched her body being sent to the crematorium on the right side of the funeral home, and the people around her said goodbye to her.

Cheng Xi's body trembled, and he looked at Li Li again, he hung his head and stared at the corpse expressionlessly.

Cheng Xi's heart became more and more complicated, although she didn't want the people she cared about to be sad and sad, she was so indifferent and cold. Cheng Xi was shocked in her heart, and her doubts deepened, and she kept shouting to ask the reason, but no one answered her.

It didn't take long for Li Li to come out with a jar in his hand and hand it to a man beside him, who she recognized as one of the people who had just carried her into the car.

Then the car continued to drive more remote into the mountains.

Cheng Xi stared at the car and followed, but when the car just got to the highway intersection, Cheng Xi was bounced back with a "bang", and his body felt a burst of pain as if it was injured by fire.

After the car got on the highway, it sped up, and it had already driven far away in the blink of an eye, Cheng Xi was anxious like an ant in a hot pot, and he hit it again.

She screamed in pain.

She went around to the side and tried a few more times, and the pain was so painful that it seemed like her whole body was about to crack.

"Damn, what's going on" The second monk Cheng Xi was puzzled, and the whole person was confused, could it be some kind of enchantment......

The small convoy of the previous is long gone. She floated up to see which direction the car had gone, and floated very high, "Ah......" and she was bounced back again.

Cheng Xi stopped and didn't struggle, she lowered her eyes and looked at her feet hanging in mid-air, what should she do now!

She was at a loss......

When I was a child, I always thought that adults deliberately made up ghost stories to scare disobedient children, but now Cheng Xi has really become a ghost.

Where are the legendary Huangquan Road, the other side of the flower, the Lechuan River, the Sansheng Stone and the Meng Po who can make people forget their memories?

This city seems to be covered by a transparent net, and she can't get out at all, will she become the legendary lonely ghost?

Cheng Xi was injured by an unknown barrier and floated in pain over the city, this was the first time she carefully observed her hometown where she had lived for more than 20 years.

In the early morning, a thin layer of water vapor wafted through the city, and the street vendors increased one after another, and crowds poured into the city streets.

There are not many pedestrians on the muddy streets, and all kinds of shops, stalls and vendors line up from the streets to the end of the streets, selling breakfast, and pulling three wheels in the streets one after another.
