Xu Yuanzhi paused for a moment, saw that I listened with relish, and said: "The fierce master's family needs to find five people, carrying a paper coffin containing a scarecrow after dark, and wandering around ten miles and eight towns for seven seven hundred and forty-nine days, and the fierce can be cracked." However, during these 49 days, the life and death of the deceased's family is left to fate, that is, before these 49 days have passed, the family of the person who committed the crime will die at any time. Therefore, when they carry the paper coffin at night, they all hope to meet a 'person who deserves to die'. ”

"No wonder the scarecrow has such a talisman attached to it." Listening to Xu Yuanzhi's explanation, I took out the yellow talisman with the word "Ying" written on it from my pocket.

Xu Yuanzhi took it, only glanced at it, and said, "This is it." ”

"What's so strange about this?" I'll ask again.

"The one who should die is the one who is willing to speak into the paper coffin. As long as there is a lone person who speaks to the paper coffin, the ferocity will turn to him, and that person will definitely die within seven days, and the lord's house will be fine, and the ferocity will naturally be broken, so when they encounter a lonely person on the street, they will take the initiative to come forward and talk to him......"

Xu Yuanzhi's explanation is quite detailed, but I still think it's a bit incredible, "It sounds absurd that a stranger can break the weight of a paper coffin when he speaks." Even if this is an evil method, there must be a set of cumbersome rituals, right? After all, it's a matter of human life. ”

Yes, isn't the biggest thing in this world life and death?

Compared to life and death, everything else is just a trivial matter.

Xu Yuanzhi also felt the same way, he nodded: "This does sound a bit mysterious, until now, I can't believe it." But here, this method has been passed down for many years, and it is particularly effective. When Kuroko and I first arrived here a few years ago, we met a little girl who traveled alone, and it was because of what she said to the paper coffin that she died mysteriously. ”

"Is there such a thing? Kuroko said the same thing, I thought it was fooling me! "This is really a strange news in the world, but Xu Yuanzhi will never lie to me.

Anyway, he was already sleepy, so Xu Yuanzhi told me about the incident he encountered a few years ago.

Before the Spring Festival, he and Kuroko came here and stayed in a small hotel in the town.

The girl happened to live there as well.

One night, after nine o'clock, the girl went out to buy something.

Due to the small size of the town and the fact that people here are used to going to bed early, when she went out, most of the shops on the side of the road were closed, and the streets were quiet, and there was no one to be seen.

The girl walked a long way down the street alone in order to find a shop with its doors open.

The street was so quiet that it was suffocating, except for the street lamps standing alone, emitting a dim light, combined with the white moonlight, which looked extremely eerie.

The girl's figure was long and short, which made her inexplicably feel a kind of fear, and after a few shivers in succession, she decided not to look for a store and went straight back to the hotel.

But just as she turned to walk back, she saw a white lantern in the distance.

Then, the group walked in the direction of the girl.

When she finally saw the living person, the girl was relieved, her mood was much better, and she was no longer so flustered and afraid.

Soon, the men walked up to the girl.

They were a little surprised and a little excited to see the girl walking alone.

The leading man asked the girl, "Little girl, why are you alone on the street at such a late hour?" ”

This little girl came from a big place, and when she saw someone talking to her, she responded enthusiastically: "It's not even ten o'clock, it's not very late, but the people here, why are they closing so early?" ”

Seeing that the girl was not at all defenseless, the leader of the questioning exchanged glances with the few who carried the paper coffin behind, and said to the girl: "Little girl, don't blame us!" If you want to blame yourself, blame yourself. ”

After saying that, he showed a weird smile and hurried away with the group of people behind him.

It wasn't until the gang walked past the girl that she realized that these people in white were actually carrying a white coffin!

The girl was suspicious for a while, and then she was creepy.

She couldn't figure out why those people were smiling at her so weirdly and saying sorry or something like that.

And what are they carrying the white coffin for?

The more she thought about it, the more furious she became, and at last she ran back to the hotel in a frightened breath.

At that time, Xu Yuanzhi, who was bored, was playing chess with the hotel owner in the front hall, and when he saw the girl running back in a hurry, he couldn't help but ask her with concern what happened.

At that moment, the girl's heart was full of fear and doubts, and she just wanted to find someone to talk to, but when she heard Xu Yuanzhi ask, she poured beans into a bamboo tube and told her what she had just experienced.

Unexpectedly, the boss's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he urged the girl to leave his small shop quickly.

The girl hurriedly asked him what was going on, but the boss not only refused to say it, but also said a lot of ugly things, which made the girl cry angrily.

The girl ran back to her room crying, and Xu Yuanzhi asked the boss, how can there be a reason to drive guests out when you open the door to do business?

The boss didn't hide Xu Yuanzhi, sighed, and said: "She has become a person who deserves to die, and she will definitely die in seven days, if you don't drive her away, her death here is not only unlucky, but also a troublesome matter." ”

Xu Yuanzhi didn't know what to do: "What is a person who deserves to die?" ”

The boss even told Xu Yuanzhi about the local customs and serious things, and gave him a few examples.

The first, a female worker on the night shift in the town, was found drowned on the fourth day in a small river whose water was up to her knees after speaking to a paper coffin.

After death, his expression was hideous and frightened, as if he had seen something terrible.

The second was a new member of the public security joint defense team from other places, who did not understand anything, and when he saw someone carrying a paper coffin around at night, he stepped forward to interrogate him, and as a result, he died strangely and violently while patrolling on the fifth night.

In addition, there is a middle school teacher who does not believe in evil, in order to break superstition, he took the initiative to chat with the person carrying the paper coffin despite the dissuasion of his family, and died suddenly when he went to the toilet on the seventh night......

Early the next morning, the boss insisted on kicking the girl out.

Xu Yuanzhi has been traveling from south to north for many years, and he knows that there are special customs in some places that he can't understand, but he still has doubts about it, but he thinks the girl is quite pitiful, so he stuffed her with a talisman......

On the third day after that, Xu Yuanzhi took the sunspot and prepared to leave the town.

While waiting for the bus, he witnessed a traffic accident in which the victim was the girl from earlier.

The girl was run over directly by a large truck, her chest was shattered, her flesh was blurred, and she died on the spot.

What's even more bizarre is that the driver is a master with more than 20 years of driving experience, and his driving skills are not ordinarily good.

He was reversing the car at the time, and his eyes were glued to the rearview mirror, but he didn't see the girl, what the hell......
