Chapter 21: Guarding the Corpse (2)
Looking at the moon, I couldn't help but frown. How could the moon be of this color? It's too strange, but after thinking about it, I wondered if it had anything to do with me, and then walked towards the house.
A servant looked at me walking into the house and smiled, "Haha... I'm just such a timid, I'm still here."
I blushed and looked at the servant and said, "You have to care."
Another servant looked at me, then said to the servant before, "Okay, okay, there is no child who is not afraid, please say less."
The two looked at each other, and finally closed their mouths. After a moment, they fell asleep on the table again.
And I was still staring at the coffin tightly, holding the peach wood sword given to me by the sloppy Taoist priest in my arms.
I don’t know how long it has passed. At this time, I was already drowsy. My upper and lower eyelids began to fight constantly, and finally I slowly closed my eyes.
"Bang..."
Suddenly, a dull sound rang out of my chair. I was so scared that I jumped up from the chair. At this time, the fog in the yard suddenly disappeared, and for some reason, waves of white smoke rose from the coffin. The white smoke was like the smoke produced when burning firewood, which was very choking.
"Ahem..."
I coughed twice by choking, then turned around and looked at the two servants, but strangely, the servants disappeared at some point, and the two chairs were empty at this time.
"Bang..."
Another muffled sound, and the source of the sound was the coffin in the yard.
After the sound, the smoke inside the coffin became heavier.
Slight beads of sweat left on my forehead. I wiped it with my sleeves, and then walked towards the coffin step by step.
The closer I got to the coffin, the faster my heart beat. When I walked to the coffin, the smoke inside disappeared bit by bit.
So, I plucked up the courage to look inside, and just as I looked inside, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because there was nothing inside, I was about to turn around and go back to the house, but when I turned around and the steps I took had not yet landed, I stood still.
Wait, there is nothing inside. It should be that there is the body of Mr. Li’s son, but why did it suddenly disappear?
Thinking of this, my heart that I had just let go immediately became hung up, and I was even more scared at this moment.
I hurriedly looked around the coffin. At this moment, the yard was so quiet that there was no sound.
When I saw this, I was panicked. I hurriedly ran towards Mr. Li's room. When I ran to Mr. Li's room, the light inside was still on.
Seeing that the light was still on, my heart was relieved, and then I became confused. When has it been now? Why is Mr. Li not sleeping yet? Could it be that he is still worried about me? Thinking of this, I knocked on the door a few times.
"Bang...bang..."
"Squeak..."
After I knocked the door a few times, it actually opened itself.
I walked into the room with confusion. When I walked into the room, I became even more confused, because there was no one inside the room, only the dim candlelight was beating constantly, and Grandpa Li had no idea where he had gone.
I thought it was not good, and then turned around and ran to other rooms. However, I looked at every room in the Li family, and the other rooms were just like this one, and they were completely empty.
Just as I was wondering where everyone was going, I suddenly heard some slurry sounds coming from the direction of the woodshed, as if there was a sound of chewing things.
I had never seen the woodshed before, and then I tiptoed to the woodshed. When I approached the woodshed, I heard the sound clearly. It was indeed a good sound of chewing things.
But in my impression, the Li family did not have the habit of raising dogs. Then I bent over and came to the door of the woodshed. Then I dipped my fingers into saliva and made a small hole in the paper pasted on the door.
The next second I looked into the hole and saw that all the people in the Li family who could not find were here. Their figures were pulled very long by the candlelight. They formed a circle, as if they were eating something.
I looked inside carefully, but they blocked the things in the middle and couldn't see them at all. Just when I was about to go in and call them
The person who blocked my view suddenly moved his position and I also saw the things in the middle clearly.
I didn't know if I didn't look at it. I was so scared that I saw that the two disappeared servants were lying in the middle.
"ah......"
I was so scared that I screamed, and then I fell to the ground.
The chewing sound in the woodshed also stopped abruptly, and then there was a sound of footsteps walking towards the door. I was so scared that I kept moving my body behind me.
The door of the woodshed slowly opened, and when I saw clearly who it was when I opened the door of the woodshed, I became even more scared. The man was Mr. Li's dead son.
Mr. Li's son waved to me and said, "Hehe... Idiot, come in and have something to eat together, come on."
After hearing this, I felt creepy. I didn't know where the strength came from. I got up and turned around and ran away. At this moment, I forgot what the Taoist priest said before. At this moment, I just wanted to leave this ghost place quickly.
I don’t know how long I ran, but then I ran to the yard. At this time, I noticed that the lanterns in the yard turned green at some point, and all the scenes around were green by the lanterns.
I looked at the open door in a blink of an eye. At this time, I didn't care much and rushed towards the door.
But just when I was two steps away from the gate, the gate actually closed itself. I rushed to the gate and pulled the closed gate hard, but the gate was tightly closed. No matter how hard I tried, the gate would not move at all.
"I'm stupid... come here, I'll love you." Grandpa Li's voice suddenly sounded not far behind me.
I suddenly turned my head and saw Mr. Li and his family walking towards me step by step, and waved at me while walking, their faces turned green by the lanterns.
The more I looked, the more I became more and more scared. I kept moving my body back, but behind me was the gate, and no matter how I moved, I was still in place.
In a blink of an eye, Grandpa Li and Grandpa Li's family came to me. Only now did I see clearly that their bodies, faces and hands were covered with blood. They reached out and grabbed me.
