As the saying goes, when firecrackers go off, there are 10,000 taels of gold, which is our local custom, if there is a funeral at home, the firecrackers will definitely be set off first to notify the land city god.

For an afternoon, Ye Jingshu spent the rest of the time in her room except staying in the mourning hall to keep her spirit, and I was worried about her physical condition, so I took the noodles cooked at the house next door and prepared to send them in to have a look.

"Are you going to see Jingshu, this girl?"

Grandpa walked up to me, and I nodded yes and answered.

"That's right, it's not peaceful tonight, you give this to her, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, by the way, say hello in advance, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, it's always a good thing to have a bottom line,"

Grandpa took out a purse from his bag, and I knew what was in it as soon as I touched it, and it must be cinnabar.

in the room.

Ye Jingshu leaned on the bed in a daze, and I knocked on the door for a long time but didn't get a response.

Just as I was about to shout, the boy suddenly came up and grabbed me by the shoulder.

"What are you doing? What do you do when you knock on the door? ”

The boy looked up and down, I didn't have any good feelings for him, so naturally I didn't want to deal with him.

The boy smiled and introduced himself: "Let's get to know, my name is He Chenyang, I am Jingshu's boyfriend, I heard that something happened to her family, so I asked for leave to come back and take a look, but unfortunately I couldn't see the last one." ”

When I heard the words of my boyfriend, I felt uncomfortable in my heart, he seemed to see what I was thinking, put on a disgusting face that didn't come to the sidelines, and almost didn't let me punch me.

At this time, the door opened, and Ye Jingshu stood at the door with tears on her face and her hair scattered.

He Chenyang's face immediately changed, and he asked Ye Jingshu with a smile if she was hungry and if she wanted to drink water.

Ye Jingshu shook her head and looked at me blankly.

It's hard to express the feeling of seeing my friends again, and at this time my mind is full of looking for topics, after all, I haven't seen each other for many years, and I can't talk about anything like I did at the beginning.

What I didn't expect was that Ye Jingshu actually said that it was too cold outside for me to go in, and I could see that she didn't seem to like to take care of He Chenyang.

He Chenyang couldn't bear to show weakness, as soon as I entered with my front foot, he followed him with his back foot, faster than rushing to reincarnate.

After chatting with Ye Jingshu for a few words, I returned to the topic and handed her the purse.

"This is what Grandpa asked me to bring you, there is a string on it, you wear it around your neck, it can protect you."

Without waiting for Ye Jingshu to speak, He Chenyang took the first step forward to brush the existence, accusing me of what kind of stuff this purse is, looking at it all the same, just like the garbage heap picked up.

I frowned and didn't refute, but Ye Jingshu put the purse around her neck, which made He Chenyang embarrassed, I didn't know what to say, all kinds of signs showed that she still favored me more.

But now is not the time to think about that, and I have vaguely told you what might happen tonight.

After listening to this, He Chenyang next to him laughed and said, "You tease me, brother, let's just say that you can't make me laugh on this occasion?" It's not too peaceful at night, so let's avoid it for a while, when I'm scared? ”

As soon as the words fell, my grandfather suddenly walked in and smoked a dry cigarette with his hands behind his back, and the moment I saw my grandfather, I restrained my impulse.

"Some things don't make sense, except to believe or believe, girl, your dad is a horizontal death, if he can't let go of his grudges, he will come back sooner or later, and he will not be your dad by then, the reason why I let this kid greet you in advance is that I am afraid that you will not be able to accept the facts, and if you can avoid it, avoid it, at least don't stay in the mourning hall tonight."

Grandpa leaned against the cabinet, Ye Jingshu couldn't help crying, "Master Wan, did my dad really fall into the river and drown, but the water in Modao Creek is so shallow, and my dad can swim, how can he ......?"

Ye Jingshu couldn't hold back any longer, and her tears fell down in big pieces.

"Alas......"

Grandpa sighed, "Although you girl has experienced some incredible things when she was a child, there are some things that you can't tell me if you ask, it's not good for you, I can only tell you that your father was killed by dirty things, as for why don't you ask." ”

Grandpa didn't say it because Uncle Ye's death was related to me, simply put, it was the underworld in order to give grandpa a dismount, so as to take away Uncle Ye to kill chickens and monkeys.

Because they know that they can't do anything to me if they are here, and only by this unreasonable means can they force grandpa to submit.

In the end, Ye Jingshu still refused to leave, she said that her father was gone, and she just wanted to send him on the last ride now, even if she left for a few minutes.

There's no way, it's impossible for my grandfather and I to pull hard, in that case, let's see if Uncle Ye will come tonight!

Time passed minute by minute, and the time was coming, and my grandfather and I were sitting in the mourning hall, as well as Ye Jingshu and her uncle, of course, including the self-righteous He Chenyang and some of the neighbors who came to help.

During this period, Uncle Ye and Grandpa chatted with me one by one, from Uncle Ye's death to whether anything had happened in the village recently, and even about when the family married a daughter-in-law and when a daughter was married.

As is the case at funerals, people cannot be silent in grief all the time.

"It's not uncle, didn't you say that Uncle Ye would come back after eleven o'clock, just when he came back, we can ask him how he died, why is there no movement at all now, I'll just say that you are bluffing, who do you really think you can scare?"

He Chenyang couldn't help but call at his grandfather anymore.

Uncle Ye glared at him fiercely, "If you can't speak, shut your mouth for me, it's not big or small, right?" ”

He Chenyang's eyes gradually became indifferent, as if he was very unhappy, purely pretending to be slapped in the face.

Suddenly!

A muffled sound spread throughout the living room, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.

Outside, the wind was gusting, and the big black dog in the yard began to bark wildly, as if to remind us that danger was coming.

Except for me and my grandfather, everyone else seemed nervous.

Everyone was looking for the source of the sound, only my grandfather and I stared at the coffin intently, until the second muffled sound came, and I was sure that Uncle Ye was back, and with a very strong resentment.

Everyone looked at the coffin together, Uncle Ye was even more nervous and speechless, he cautiously walked to his grandfather's side, "Uncle Wan, this, what's going on, how can there be a sound in the coffin?" ”

"Take the others out first and close the gate of the courtyard, no one can come in without my permission!"

Grandpa's tone was more like a late urging, but before Uncle Ye could command everyone to leave, the lid of the coffin creaked, and then a pale hand stretched out.

This scene frightened everyone at the scene in a panic, shouting and running out one after another, He Chenyang was even more frightened and paralyzed on the ground, his feet did not obey.

Although I had a conflict with him, I still reached out and pulled him up, "Hurry up and go out and don't stay here, I'll talk about it later, let's go!" ”

He Chenyang couldn't take care of it so much, and he crawled out with a roll, looking embarrassed......
