After a short silence, Uncle Ya said softly, "Today is not as good as before, if you don't feel very steady, come back first."

"Retreating bravely from the rapids is also wisdom, and there is no shame."

He said it in a vague way, but I understood what it meant.

I confess that facing a mass grave with my current abilities is no different from sending him to death.

But I've already done this, and I'm going to quit halfway, which is a bit irresponsible.

After a brief moment of struggle, I responded to the phone, "Let me try again."

"Hmm."

He didn't ask any more questions, and hung up the phone in response.

Ji Canghai put his hand on my shoulder and comforted, "The sky is falling, I'll carry it with you."

I laughed, and I just felt relieved.

"Fortunately, we have found the root of the problem, so let's get rid of the ground first."

As soon as we said it, it took us almost a morning to dig a big hole in the ground.

This digging was at least two meters deep.

However, to my surprise, there was only dirt in the pit, not the skeleton as I thought.

By noon, we were half dead from exhaustion.

"No more." Ji Canghai waved his hand: "You can't dig it, if you dig it again, the water will come out."

"This ......" I was also a little hesitant: "This kind of prisoner of war burial pit will not be dug too deep, and it will be buried shallowly to prevent the smell of corpses from spreading, and it is basically fine."

Under the scorching sun, we looked at each other with our hoes.

At this time, the desolate old house has been turned into a demolition site by the two of us.

If you can't solve the problem like this, then I really can't explain it to Liang Hai.

"We're still sleeping here tonight, I don't believe it yet!"

Night.

There was not much left of half of the candle, the cold moonlight was scattered on the unpainted Luohan bed, and the weeds outside the window were sizzling.

Ji Canghai lay on his side beside me, and his snoring sounded slightly.

I carefully discerned for a while, and the voice from yesterday did not appear tonight.

With him by my side, I feel a lot more at ease.

In the middle of the night, when I turned over, I only felt empty, and all I could get into was the cold.

When I opened my eyes, there was no one around.

I put my hand under the covers, and all I could hear was the cold, not the temperature at all.

This means that he is not up at night, but has been away for a while!

Where else could he go at night?

I pulled out a knife from under my pillow and tentatively shouted, "Erhai?"

The sound was amplified many times in the silence of the night, and all that could respond to me was my own breathing and heartbeat.

I hurriedly put on my shoes and went to the ground, and the hundred birds and phoenixes outside the door sounded again at this moment.

Last night's greeting party again?

I looked out through the crack in the door, and sure enough, it was the same as last night, and even more lively than last night.

The weeds in the yard were completely gone, replaced by tables, chairs and benches.

At the gate, there was a gentleman with a melon skin hat, who was carrying a brush at the moment, receiving gifts and writing accounts on the other.

Everything seems to be so normal, except that the guests who come and go are all skeletons.

The colorful shrouds swayed on the empty bones of the skeletons, and from a distance, they looked like giant candy wrappers.

Ji Canghai's departure is eighty percent related to these things in the yard.

I was about to open the door, but suddenly I stopped again, and last night, the moment I opened the door, they disappeared.

I immediately thought of the words of the first year of junior high school.

She said that there was a fire in me, so much so that she was afraid.

Could this group of ghosts in the courtyard also be afraid of me?

The reason for this is unknown, but blind guessing should have something to do with lightning strikes.

If that's the case, it's a mixed blessing.

Happily, evil spirits can't come near me, let alone hurt me.

What worries me is that I can't catch them at all.

I can't be like a mythical beast in a town house, squatting in this yard and not coming out, right?

A person who has been eliminated from the Taoist can still make the evil ghosts so afraid, this kind of thing is simply unheard of, never seen.

For a while, I ran out of ideas.

However, Ji Canghai's whereabouts are still a mystery, and there is not much time left for me to think about it.

After a moment's pause, I gently pushed the door out of the crack, trying not to make a sound, and slowly got out.
