Chapter 265: White Coffin and Red Cloth (I)
As we progressed, I suddenly realized that this house was not big, not wide to be exact, but long enough, at least 100 meters away.
The blue-gray concrete floor became more and more white in the moonlight, and the footsteps of Yu Lan and I were particularly harsh in the long and narrow room.
"Who?" A long, muffled voice suddenly remembered behind the two of us.
It wasn't loud, but it was like thunder, and it blew me up.
I looked behind me in a cold sweat, grabbed Yu Lan with one hand, and touched the canopy ruler behind me with the other hand to prevent the sudden murder of the person on the other side.
A burst of shuffling footsteps suddenly sounded, like someone wearing slippers on the ground kept rubbing, until the flashlight suddenly lit up in the distance suddenly cut through the darkness, and my heart was a little steady.
The sound of this person's procrastinating footsteps came from far and near, and he smelled a smell of wine from a distance, and then the light of the flashlight, he could barely see the appearance of this person, with a square face, a garlic nose, and not too big eyes, full of confusion.
"Who are you?" The man asked drunkenly.
I took Yu Lan behind me and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Hiccup" A loud wine burp made him gasp for breath several times, which I was completely relieved, according to his physical condition, even if he had any bad intentions, I was not afraid, it is not an exaggeration to say that this person's body has basically reached the point of rotten.
"I, I'm on duty." The man replied in a daze.
In the middle of the night, a person suddenly appeared in the funeral home, and I couldn't believe what he said.
I deliberately said, "Boss Li hired you?" ”
The man waved his hand and said, "What Boss Li, surnamed Wang, Boss Wang." ”
His words completely lifted my guard.
I was puzzled and asked, "This is such a big thing, you dare to be here at night?" ”
He sat on the ground, panting, and said, "Money, Boss Wang will give me money, and you will give me five hundred for one night." ”
I sighed, this is also a hard-working person who lives for money.
"You've drunk so much, why are you still fighting?"
"Are you stupid? If you don't drink too much, who would dare to stay here? If you drink too much, you don't know anything, and you ...... in the house, in the house."
Before I finished speaking, a loud snoring sound instantly resounded through the room, and it was useless for me to call.
What's going on in the house?
I was thinking about asking for useful information, but the man suddenly fell asleep.
Yu Lan took out a few pieces of candy from his bag, stuffed them into his mouth, and said, "Eating candy can relieve tension." ”
As he spoke, he was about to stuff a piece of it in my mouth, and I was a little embarrassed to wave my hand, and the candy fell to the ground.
Yu Lan glanced at me and said, "Hey, don't eat and pull down." ”
I suddenly tightened my hand and put it on the waistband of my trousers.
Yu Lan said a little embarrassed: "Oh, what are you doing?" ”
I looked warily at the room inside and whispered, "Whatever happens, just hold on to my belt and hide behind me." ”
Like a drum in my heart, I cautiously pushed open the door in the house.
But before I could exert my strength, there was a croak, and the door opened by itself without warning, and a smell of burning paper instantly rushed out, and I leaned against the wall, looking vigilantly into the room.
it! My heart instantly screwed together, and there was a coffin in the room!
It stands to reason that as a Taoist priest, I am not the first day of my career, so what is there to be afraid of when I see the coffin?
This coffin turned out to be a snow-white coffin, which is not weird, and what is even more strange is that this coffin is covered with a large piece of bare red cloth.
I've never seen anything like that, the coffins are all black or brown in color. The ancient tradition is that people die to enter the earth, and black and brown are the colors of the land, which is called "entering the earth for peace"
From a folk point of view, only the use of black and brown coffins can be called buried in the earth.
This red cloth is even more weird, no one uses a red cloth to cover the coffin at the funeral, even if it is a funeral, the red cloth will not be directly covered on the coffin lid, doesn't this pull the calf?
It's already here, and I can't choose between the two of us.
Yu Lan and I slowed our steps even more slowly, gradually approaching the coffin, and as soon as we got close to the coffin, we found that there seemed to be a sound in the coffin.
It's the voice of a person talking!
The two of us hurriedly squatted next to the coffin and listened carefully to the sound in the coffin.
I could clearly feel that Yu Lan's hand holding my belt had begun to tremble a little, no wonder she was afraid, if she was not afraid, then there was a problem!
