Chapter 16: The Black Cat Lying in the Coffin

Early in the morning, I got out of bed early.

The old lady was awake, and she was having breakfast, and the young woman was also awake, moving around the courtyard.

She seems to like to wear black clothes very much, which can make it more cool and glamorous, and make people feel a sense of distance.

The girl didn't move.

Seeing me come out, the old lady nodded at me and smiled, and I could see that there was nothing wrong with the girl, otherwise she wouldn't be able to laugh out.

I approached the woman in a flattering manner, pretending to move, and asked, "I don't know what your name is." ”

The woman didn't look at me, but replied, "Zhuang Li." ”

Zhuang Li, surname Zhuang? But I'm not impressed.

Now I regret it a little, if I had learned more from the old man and learned more about this circle, I might have known the identity of this woman.

The breakfast was quite hearty, and it was obvious that the old lady made it for us.

Zhuang Li didn't eat much, I ate a lot, and after the old lady was full of wine and food, she looked at the house next to her after cleaning up.

"Don't worry, I can't wake up for the time being, it's good to sleep a little longer."

Hearing Zhuang Li's words, the old lady nodded steadily.

Zhuang Li and I followed the old lady to the side street.

led us to the door of Lao Xu's house, and the old lady just wanted to knock on the door, but Zhuang Li stopped her.

Don't want to scare the snake? I kept following without saying a word. Completely regarded himself as a bystander.

The old lady also stood obediently to the side.

After the first seven, he died for a while, so he couldn't tell that this family had done nothing in vain.

It's a normal bungalow, although there are many dilapidated small buildings in this town, but there are also many such bungalows.

The low wall can be more than a meter high and can see the inside of the courtyard.

It didn't seem to be a problem, but after observing, Zhuang Li asked, "Who lives in this family now?" ”

"Oh, there is no one for a pair of old couples in their 60s, the young people are out of town and are not in town, this old couple is very good, there is no festival, and they still hang out with each other during the New Year's festival or something."

Zhuang Li nodded and didn't ask anything more.

After waiting for a while, she motioned for the old lady to knock on the door.

The old lady of this family who opened the door looked very kind, and when she saw that the old lady was coming, she immediately invited us in enthusiastically.

The old Xu Tou of this family looks a little fierce, but the old woman of the Xu family explained that he has a fierce face and is very good.

The old lady also echoed a few sentences, but Lao Xu didn't like to deal with outsiders very much, so he was doing things in the yard.

Old Mrs. Xu was busy serving tea and pouring water for a while before she sat down.

At this time, the old lady glanced at Zhuang Li.

"Auntie, the family sent the old man away a while ago?"

Mrs. Xu nodded, 80 years old is considered a long life, and there is nothing sad.

Besides, after the first seven years, there are not so many taboos, but the old Xu Pozi still sensed that something was wrong, and asked rhetorically, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" Then he glanced at the old lady sitting next to him.

"I just want to ask, when the coffin was parked in the yard, was there a cat?"

Old Mrs. Xu stood up suddenly, and said nervously in surprise, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

In a place like this, the elderly especially believe in these things, and they will be afraid of the slightest disturbance.

The old lady didn't know what to say, so she could only sit next to her without saying a word.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking, nothing will happen to the guarantee."

Although Zhuang Li was appeased, Mrs. Xu was still restless.

"It's a cat, it's a black cat."

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, Old Xu Tou'er actually took the initiative to walk in.

Holding a dry tobacco stick, his brows were tightly knit and he looked gloomy, and his expression was a bit bitter and hateful.

After two bites, he sat down on the bench next to him.

It was a little embarrassing for me, as if I was forced to be condescending.

However, some old people are used to sitting on the bench, and it is difficult to say anything now.

Lao Xu took the initiative to speak, which made Zhuang Li immediately excited and asked, "Uncle, have you seen me?" ”

"Well, we will stop the coffin here for three days, and the next night I saw a black cat jumping on the edge of the coffin, and I drove it away."

"How long did the black cat stay?"

Lao Xu took two more puffs and said, "I don't know, I found it on top of the coffin, and the coffin was not covered, but the black cat didn't seem to jump into it, and was standing on the side of the coffin." ”

Zhuang Li didn't ask again, but thought about something.

Black cat coffin! I'm afraid it's going to be a big deal.

This cat is a spiritual creature, and it is the kind of spiritual creature that penetrates yin, and the black cat is even more so.

The most taboo thing when the coffin is stopped is the popularity of the living, the black cat shadow.

The popularity of the living can make the dead scam the corpse.

If the black cat shadow can't get it, it can turn the dead into zombies, and even worse things happen.

Old Xu Tou'er seemed to see a clue, knocked the dry tobacco stick on the upper of his shoe, stood up and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

Zhuang Li looked at Lao Xu Tou'er, obviously she also saw that Lao Xu Tou'er was not so simple, at least this calmness was more powerful than ordinary people.

It is estimated that when I was young, I also traveled from south to north and saw a lot of things.

didn't hide it, Zhuang Li simply said openly and honestly, "Something may have happened." ”

"I heard that the coffin can't be touched by the popularity and the shadow of the black cat, it has something to do with the black cat."

"Uncle, I want to go and see the old man's grave."

"What do you say?"

Facing the rhetorical question of the old Xu Tou'er, Zhuang Li hesitated before saying, "If it's not big, it's okay to say, if it's big, the old man won't be able to live in peace, but I will only know when I go to see the grave." ”

"In charge, nothing will happen, right?" Mrs. Xu looked at Old Xu Tou'er nervously and asked.

"Alright, you can stay at home, I'll take them to see it."

After speaking, Old Xu Tou'er turned around and walked out.

"I'll just go with him, you can stay with me."

The old lady nodded and didn't follow, and Zhuang Li and I followed.

On the street, there are three donkeys parked on the side of the road.

Old Xu Tou'er knew each other and let us sit up.

All the way to the foot of the mountain outside the town, the old man let the three donkeys jump away and didn't let him wait.

But I confessed, and I came to pick it up in two hours.

The man riding the three donkeys didn't say anything, and nodded obediently.

Old Xu Tou'er still walked ahead and went up the mountain.

He didn't say a word along the way, until he saw a graveyard in front of him, and then he stopped and said, "Here we are." ”
