Chapter 151
White lanterns were hung at the entrance of the Zhu family mansion, and two white wreaths were neatly placed on both sides of the stone lion at the door.
When Zhu Xunuo saw these things, his body was slightly stunned, and his lips under the veil were less bloody.
"Miss, you're here. If you don't come, you won't even see Mr. Zhu for the last time!" At this moment, the closed door of the Zhu family's mansion suddenly opened in the heavy rain, and an old housekeeper with an umbrella walked out of the door. The old housekeeper was a little surprised when he saw Zhu Xunuo, and then reached out and pulled Zhu Xunuo to walk into the house.
The old butler just walked a few steps and saw me standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Zhu Xunuo in confusion and asked, "Miss, who is this?"
Zhu Xunuo explained: "Butler Liu, this is the doctor I invited!"
"Oh, it's useless, Miss. The boss has already hired a famous doctor from the provincial capital to see him. The old man is already exhausted, and the people from the funeral home will come soon!"
"People from the funeral home?" Zhu Xunuo frowned and said, "What are the people from the funeral home coming here so early? Didn't they be cremated after three days?"
"Miss, you have been out for too long and don't know the old man's situation. The old man is going to cheat the zombie. You must cremate before dawn today." When Butler Liu said this, a hint of horror flashed across his face.
"Corpsy?"
When I heard what Mr. Liu said, I was a little surprised. This man was just pretending to be a zombie before he died. I had never heard of such a thing.
"Where is Grandpa!" After hearing that the people from the funeral home came, his grandfather was about to be cremated, Zhu Xunuo asked anxiously.
"Just in the main hall... Miss, go quickly. I'll help you delay the funeral home and let you hide and look at grandpa!" Butler Liu said, while protruding his head and looking out the door. It was obvious that the old butler was quite good to Zhu Xunuo.
It turned out that he came to open the door just now because he heard the sound of our car and thought it was the funeral home car that had arrived, so he came out to pick someone up in advance.
"Brother Pi, you come into the house with me, but you have to look carefully to see if my grandfather's soul has not gone far yet!" At this moment, Zhu Xunuo put all his hopes on me and asked me to help her find his grandfather's soul in the house so that I can take his grandfather back to the sun.
What Zhu Xunuo didn't know was that her grandfather's soul was in the human skin lantern in my hand. As long as I put the lantern in her grandfather's body, the soul would automatically return to his position and his grandfather would be able to survive.
Under the leadership of Zhu Xunuo, I entered the Zhu family mansion. The interior of the four-open and four-fold mansion was even more low-key and luxurious, with rockery pavilions and corridors.
Walking in the corridor in the yard, I carefully looked at the flowers and plants in the Zhu family's yard. These flowers and plants were even more severe than the trees outside, and the people of the Zhu family seemed to turn a blind eye to all this.
Another thing that made me feel very strange. Not long after Mr. Zhu passed away, he didn't hear any crying sounds at the main hall at the end of the corridor. There was only a sound of chanting scriptures at the end of the corridor, as if someone was doing a ritual.
Zhu Xunuo heard the chanting of scriptures coming from the lobby and couldn't help but speed up his pace. When we arrived at the main hall, we saw a black coffin placed on two benches in the center of the lobby. The lid of the coffin was not covered, and the old man Zhu, who was wearing a mourning dress and had a black face, was lying in the coffin.
