Uncle Mei didn't say much about what Jiang Shang encountered, and he didn't allow me to tell Sister Xiaomei about it, because he was afraid that the dirty things in Jiang would hear our discussions, so he followed him all the way to the house.

When he got home, he specially took out a bottle of liquor from the cabinet, poured himself a glass, poured me a glass, and poured half a glass each for Sister Xiaomei and Aunt Mei.

"Come, drink some wine, settle down, and what happened today will be as if it never happened! Swallow this glass of wine in your stomach! ”

After saying this, Uncle Mei took a big sip of the cup himself, and I quickly followed Uncle Mei's example, took a sip, and choked on tears.

Sister Xiaomei and Aunt Mei didn't drink as hard as us, just took small sips, and I could see that Sister Xiaomei hadn't eased up until now, her face was pale and white, and she didn't have much appetite for eating.

I comforted her in a whisper: "Sister Xiaomei, don't be afraid, it's all home, there are so many families in the village, the yang energy is very strong, no matter how vicious the evil is, they don't dare to follow it!" ”

Sister Xiaomei nodded and held my hand tightly under the table.

I felt her little hands cold, and persuaded again: "You should eat something, eat and sleep well, and when the sun rises tomorrow, you will not be afraid of anything." ”

Sister Xiaomei responded, and then began to pick up chopsticks and eat vegetables.

By the time the meal was finished, Uncle Mei was already a little drunk, his face was flushed, and he muttered in his mouth: "The moon is bright, the moon is bright, the moonlight shines on the wine bottle, Suizhou wine is too good to say, you can't sleep if you don't drink it......"

Aunt Mei wasn't drunk, so she arranged for me and Sister Mei to wash and rest.

At night, Aunt Mei and Sister Xiaomei slept in the same room, and I was alone in a room.

Although wine is intimidating, but when it comes to today's incident, even if I drink too much wine, my heart is still empty. It's impossible not to be afraid, and as soon as I close my eyes, I can see the crack in the ground that is stuffed with corpses and the door is closed......

And the strange figure that crawled out of the black coffin, which always lingered in my mind, and as soon as the surroundings were quiet, I could faintly hear its beastly cry.

Lying on the bed, I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, I didn't even dare to close my eyes, I could only lie on the bed and stare at the ceiling.

After a while, I saw the lights in the courtyard outside, and then the door opened, and a figure walked out of the room.

I leaned on the window and took a look, and saw that the figure was Uncle Mei, who was not sleeping, but wearing an overcoat and carrying a harpoon, sitting in the courtyard to keep vigil for us.

I guess he couldn't sleep because he felt it, and I was worried that the dirty things in the river would touch my house, so I didn't sleep and sat outside to stand guard.

Not to mention, after seeing Uncle Mei's vigil, I felt a lot more at ease, at least I was not so scared.

I went back to the bed, covered my head with the quilt, curled up in a ball, curled up at the foot of the bed, I don't know how long, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

I didn't sleep well this night, I woke up a few times in the middle of the night with nightmares, and every time I woke up, I looked up at the window and saw that Uncle Mei was still holding a harpoon vigil, so I got back to the bed.

After going back and forth several times, I finally survived the night.

It's dawn.

As soon as the fish belly white turned out in the east, I put on my clothes and got out of bed, but when I walked out of the house, I saw that Sister Mei and Aunt Mei had already started to have breakfast.

I saw that Sister Xiaomei had a pair of dark circles under her eyes and her face was very haggard, so I guessed that she must have not slept all night, probably with her eyes open until dawn.

"Didn't sleep last night?" I asked a little distressedly holding Sister Xiaomei's hand.

Sister Xiaomei smiled helplessly and said, "When that happens, who can sleep?" As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw the floating corpses in the water, and the black coffin......"

At this time, Uncle Mei, who had been on guard all night, came in from outside with a harpoon and said to Sister Xiaomei: "Just go out to bask in the sun and breathe some yang, don't go to the riverside these days, and hide at home honestly." ”

Sister Xiaomei nodded and walked to the yard to bask in the sun, and I also went out with me and washed my face with the tap water in the yard.

It didn't take long for Aunt Mei to make breakfast and beckoned us to come into the house to eat, and I saw that Sister Mei had become more beautiful after a while in the sun, so I asked her to go back after breakfast to make up for sleep.

As a result, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door, and then someone was heard shouting: "Mei Laosan? Is Mei Laosan at home? ”

Uncle Mei put down his chopsticks and went out, and I followed behind. I saw that the policeman Lao Li who came to look for him was the policeman he met by the river yesterday, and he was accompanied by two people, one was his apprentice, the short-haired policewoman, and the other was a man in civilian clothes, in his forties, with a small flat head and very white skin.

Although the man was not wearing a uniform, I could guess that he must also be a police officer when I looked at his temperament.

Seeing Uncle Mei, before Lao Li could speak, the white-skinned man took the initiative to say: "Hello comrade, we came here this time mainly to learn about the situation yesterday evening, please ......"

Uncle Mei immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to say about that matter." Lao Li, weren't you there at the time? What is the situation that you are not clear? Do you still need to ask me? I'm still having breakfast, so I won't talk to you more, let's go! ”

After saying this, Uncle Mei prepared to send off the guests.

When the man saw Uncle Mei's steel plate, he refused to cooperate, but he was not angry, but suddenly turned to me, took out a heavy envelope from his pocket, handed it to me, and said with a smile:

"Young man, you are Chen Rongsheng, right? I heard that you are very good at water, and yesterday you fished out two floating corpses in a row, and you also went into the water to investigate? Gee...... What a skill! Come, this is your reward, you take it. ”

Yesterday, Lao Huang of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau and Lao Li, a police officer, each owed me 500 yuan, which was indeed the reward I should receive, so I was not ambiguous and took the envelope directly.

But when I held the envelope in my hand, I felt that the weight was not right, although I was poor at that time, but I still knew how much a thousand dollars in cash weighed, and this envelope contained more than ten large bills.

I immediately opened the envelope and took a look, and sure enough, it was exactly as I expected!

I saw a thick stack of banknotes inside, at least fifty of them.

I immediately became vigilant, looked at the man and asked, "What do you mean by that?" I don't get paid that much. ”

The man flashed a very sleek smile at me and said, "You're welcome, Xiao Chen, you deserve it." What happened yesterday was a bit more than we expected, and it also made you take unexpected risks, and the extra money should be given to you for mental damage, so you can take it. ”

I hesitated when I held the envelope, because I knew that the money might not be so easy to hold.

Sure enough, the man immediately said, "But as a person concerned, I need to talk to you about what happened yesterday, okay?" ”

At this time, Uncle Mei was already a little impatient, and he said with a cold face: "Are you finished?" I've said we don't have much to say, how are you stalking? Lao Li, it's not that I don't cooperate, it's that I don't want to make trouble for myself, let's go! ”

Lao Li lowered his head and didn't speak, as if the man next to him was not under his control.

And the white-faced man still didn't give up, he glanced at Uncle Mei, then at me, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Don't you want to know what the black shadow that crawled out of the coffin is?" ”
