68. Guiding lights
Wow
Sounds come from far and near.
Through the cold iron door, Ling Bai felt that someone was standing behind the door, his cold eyes were staring at him, and there was a tingling sensation in his back.
He slowly raised his hand, and then slammed it down on the iron door in front of him.
boom
The iron door shook.
The sound of thin heels sounded, sounding a little messy, as if from the front of the door..... Ran away.
With a creak, the iron door opened a small door that a single person could pass through.
A small, round head poked out. It was a little boy of a few years old, and his face looked dazed at night.
"What's the matter?"
"Where's your family?"
Ling Bai glanced hurriedly over the top of his head, a chill rising from his back. In the middle of the main hall are three straw mats, each with an oil lamp.
The three straw mats were full of corpses.
"Mommy is asleep, Dad, Grandma, and Aunt are all dead...... "The little boy returned calmly.
"I'm a wandering monk, since someone in your family has passed away, I must be in charge of things......
"We've got it arranged,"
"I'm not too much. With that, Ling Bai forcibly squeezed in.
The little boy is only about eight years old, and his body has not yet grown, so he can't stop Ling Bai from being perverted in the flesh at all.
"What will you do?" the little boy was not annoyed, silently closed the iron door, and looked at him calmly.
"Chanting, excess..... Catch ghosts ......"
Hearing the last two words, the little boy's shoulders shook uncontrollably slightly.
Ling Bai stepped forward by himself, the main hall was very empty, obviously he had re-tidied it up, and specially vacated it to do things.
The three corpses under the straw mat were covered with their heads covered, one to prevent mosquito bites, the second to cover the eyes of the deceased to avoid nostalgia for the world, and the third to beware of wild cats and other creatures that can easily cause corpses to be scam approach. These things are done in every way and should be done by specialized people.
"The oil for that lamp is running out, go get some and add it up." Ling Bai pointed to the leftmost straw mat, the flame of the oil lamp flickered and was about to be extinguished.
"Good. ”
The little boy looked indifferent and turned to walk through the inner door, a stiff smile on his face.
Ling Bai didn't care about him for the time being, because he could see that the little boy was a human being, a living person.
He glanced at the three straw mats in front of him, and if he guessed correctly, they should be the corpses of the three dead ghosts he had just encountered.
Without any taboos, he stepped forward and lifted the leftmost straw mat.
The lamp at the head of the mat emitted a dim and turbid red light, which flickered on the corpse lying on the straw mat, reflecting a mysterious blue brilliance! Then, there was a strong fragrance of vegetable oil, which made the whole mourning hall permeated with a special atmosphere.
In folk traditions, there is usually an oil lamp placed under the coffin of the deceased, and the lamp corresponds to the position of the deceased's feet, which cannot be extinguished until the funeral.
This lamp is to illuminate the Huangquan Road for the deceased, which is commonly known as the "guiding light", if the light goes out, the road will be dark, and the deceased will not find the direction and will follow the smell of the coming back, which is not good for the deceased's family, and may make the family a serious illness.
None of the three bodies were in the coffin, but the guiding lights were lit, indicating that the helpers did have two brushes. At least the abduction is enough.
A cloudy red light imprinted on the corpse's face, making the wrinkled old face look a little hideous.
The body was the old lady.
Ling Bai carefully examined her face, it was not as incomplete as in the ghost state. Aside from a stiff expression, there were no wounds on the surface.
call
The lights flickered.
The old lady's eyes opened suddenly, and she stared at Ling Bai directly, her expression full of resentment.
Ling Bai shook his head and reached out and pressed it on her eye sockets.
"Shut up, don't make a fuss. ”
His tone was slightly reproachful, as if he was scolding a disobedient child.
"What are you doing?" said the little boy standing in the doorway, vegetable oil in his hand.
Ling Bai raised his hand, the old lady's eyes had been forcibly closed, he smiled and looked at the expressionless little boy, and said, "Your parents just opened their eyes and looked at me, so I played a little game with her. ”
"Oil. The little boy reached out and handed over the oil bottle.
Ling Bai took it and poured it into the flickering oil lamp, and the firelight suddenly quieted down.
"Alright, take me to meet you Mama, we should negotiate the salary. Ling Bai stretched out his hand to rub the little boy's head, but he sensed it in advance and dodged it.
"Ma Ma slept. ”
"Wake her up, you can't delay doing this kind of thing. ”
"She's sleeping so hard, come tomorrow. The little boy's face was a little ugly.
"I can't bear to beat you when you're so cute, good, go up and tell Ma Ma to come down. Ling Bai didn't believe his nonsense at all, and the sound of high heels he heard at the door was still in his ears. Of the three bodies, two were women, one was an old lady and the other was a young woman in slippers.
So, who is the person who wears high heels?
"Good. The little boy's face changed, and he didn't turn on the light, but silently walked into the darkness.
"Strange people. Ling Bai's eyes stared straight into the darkness, but unfortunately no golden light flashed from his eyes.
He sat down beside the old lady's corpse and pondered.
First of all, the little boy is undoubtedly human. According to him, the dead were his grandmother, father and aunt, and Ma Ma was sleeping upstairs. This is a suspicious point, three people died in a row in the family, and the whole family was almost dead, and they still slept well?
Secondly, the little boy's personality is very eccentric, he has no vigilance against strangers at all, and his overall performance is also very indifferent. In the face of corpses, there is no fear that children should have. If you have to say that because the people who died are close relatives, they are not afraid, and they can barely say the past.
And according to the middle-aged man next door, the three people who died were all scared to death by ghosts.
This statement is indeed very possible, after all, the task given by the application is [ghost thing], which allows him to know without thinking that there is no such perverted thing as poisoning and murder at all.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the whole building was quiet, except for the flickering guiding lights, there was not even a sound in the surrounding silence.
"Did his mother sleep so dead?"
Ling Bai waited for another two minutes, and finally couldn't hold it anymore and got up from the ground.
Squeak,
Pushing open the small door on the inside of the mourning hall, he walked directly into the darkness.
Standing in place for a moment, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness, Ling Bai looked at the stairs in front of him and walked up.
The whole building has only two floors, and you can walk up two stairs to the second floor.
There are two rooms on the left side of the aisle and two rooms on the right.
The entire hallway is narrow and deep, and the door at the end of the aisle on the right opens a gap that lets in a dim yellow light.
