Mysterious country

Hu Daniu looked at the coffin that was almost lying in front of his house with a depressed look. After a long while, he heard him curse bitterly:

"Damn it, I'm provoking someone, why don't you let me take the blame?"

Thinking of how Boss Chen had directed all his anger at himself today, he was so angry that his teeth itched. But having said that, I can't blame others. In the final analysis, I am willing to meddle in other people's business and talk more useless words.

Knowing that Boss Chen was angry, he insisted on saying that the rules should not be broken, so he just found a place to burn the coffin and bury it, so that there would be no such bad luck.

"Well, since you have sent me here, I will help you guard this last day. No matter what..."

Hu Daniu suddenly closed his mouth when he said this, and then as if he was afraid of being heard, he looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one was around. Then he slapped himself in the mouth and muttered:

"Why have I become as talkative as Zhao? I want to say anything."

Hu Daniu rubbed his old face that was a little swollen and painful, and looked at the coffin with a strange expression.

Today is the seventh day of Xiaoli's life, and it is also the last day of the corpse wake in Hulu Village. After today, she can be buried. Burial is generally used in Hulu Village, and burial is only used in special circumstances.

Just like treating someone like Xiaoli who died abnormally.

Because such dead people are full of resentment in their eyes, and if the corpses are not burned cleanly, there will be the possibility of defrauding the corpses and harming others. As for this corpse vigil, to put it bluntly, it is also to resolve the grievances of the deceased.

Hu Daniu actually didn't understand this either. After all, his real occupation was a carpenter, making not only coffins but also other furniture. As for his identity as Mr. Yin-Yang, he came up with it entirely by himself.

Anyway, no one in the village understands this aspect, and he is not completely trying to sell dog meat, but he still knows a little bit about it.

After struggling for a while, Hu Daniu moved the coffin from outside the door into his yard.

Because his wife died early, he didn't even have a child, so he didn't have anything to worry about living alone. After placing the coffin, he found some white silk from the house for mourning, and put it in a decent shape. The coffin is decorated.

But it is said to be a decoration, but in fact it is a kind of fearful protection. It is to seal the dead souls in the coffin to prevent the corpse from jumping out and harming others.

"It's done."

Hu Daniu clapped his hands in relief. Seeing that it was getting late, he felt a sense of hunger in his stomach, so he closed the courtyard door and returned to his house.

There was only a coffin wrapped in white silk, and water was seeping out from the seams of the coffin lid.

"hiss……"

After coming out of Boss Chen's house, Xia Qi and Leng Yue just planned to leave here to find those villagers who might know something, but they were stopped by Boss Chen who hurriedly followed them out of the house:

"Comrades, wait a moment."

Hearing that Boss Chen called him and Leng Yue "comrades", Xia Qi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then said to Leng Yue next to him with a strange expression:

"Yueyue, did you hear what he said?"

"What?"

"He said that we are gay, but we are not related."

Hearing this, Leng Yue realized halfway that Xia Qi was teasing him shamelessly again. He snorted dissatisfiedly and turned to Boss Chen, who was already approaching them.

"Brother Chen, is there anything else you can do?"

Leng Yue was still as gentle and gentle in speaking as before.

"Isn't it because of family matters? Hey, you guys are really laughing at me. My wife...and my stupid boy...hey!"

Having said this, Boss Chen couldn't help but sigh with a sad face.

They had just come out of Chen Cong's house, so they had an understanding of Chen Cong's current situation. Although Chen Cong was dehydrated and had only one breath left, he didn't swallow it. He didn't know if the female ghost wanted to torture him for a while.

As for what Boss Chen has done now, it seems that he has already learned about the investigation they did in the village today, so he chased them out and explained something to them.

"Brother Chen, what are you talking about? We understand how you feel now. Not everyone can bear this kind of bereavement. We are the ones who should be sorry if we come to disturb you at this time."

Although Leng Yue usually has a cold face and doesn't like to talk much, she is quite talkative on this kind of thing. This also makes Xia Qi feel that Leng Yue is not bad at talking, but simply not good at talking. I don’t want to deal with myself.

Hearing what Leng Yue said, the sadness on Mr. Chen's face could not help but fade a bit, and he said gratefully:

"As long as you understand, that's good. If you need me to do anything, in one sentence, I, Boss Chen, will definitely do what I say."

"With Brother Chen's words, we can rest assured..."

The two of them chatted with Boss Chen for a while before sending him back.

After Mr. Chen left, they first went back to their room to sit there for a while, and then left under the cover of night.

But what they didn't notice was that Boss Chen had been standing at the window of the opposite room with a gloomy face, watching them thoughtfully as they left.

Hu Daniu had just finished cooking the food, but before he even put it out, he heard his neighbor Lao Wang shouting:

"Big cow? Big cow?"

Because he and Lao Wang are both close confidants of Mr. Chen, and they live and interact frequently with each other next door, they have a very good relationship.

"I'm coming!"

After taking the cooking pot off the stove, Hu Daniu hurried out and opened the door for Lao Wang.

"What's going on? It sounds like a ghost. I'm cooking right now. Have you eaten?"

"I haven't eaten. To be honest, I can't eat it." Lao Wang couldn't help but sigh:

"This has been going on for several days. I have been flustered and always felt that something terrible was going to happen."

"Okay, don't scare yourself. Nothing terrible can happen in our village. Even birds don't bother to poop in our village!"

Although Hu Daniu said this, he felt weak in his heart because this feeling had been suppressing him for several days.

"You may laugh at me, but since I saw that woman's floating corpse, I have had nightmares every night. In the dream, it turned into a ghost, and then it strangled my neck and said it was coming for revenge!

You said that if people do bad things, will they really suffer retribution and be revenged by ghosts? "

Lao Wang said it very seriously. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Hu Daniu twitched the corner of his mouth and said comfortingly:

"Okay, don't scare yourself. You've done everything and it feels good. It's pointless for you to regret it now. Besides, if there is really retribution, and people can really become ghosts after death, then Chen The boss has died countless times.

I think you just don't have much work or leisure recently. "

Hu Daniu thought that after listening to his words, Lao Wang would feel relieved to some extent, but he never thought that Lao Wang suddenly replied:

"Why didn't Mr. Chen get retribution? Didn't you see that his stupid son almost turned into a mummy? If it weren't for retribution, how could he be a good person?"

Hearing Lao Wang mention Chen Cong, Newton Hu felt his body stiffen a bit, because indeed, as Lao Wang said, Chen Cong's disease was really weird, and it was so weird that water kept leaking out of his body. This reminded him of the female corpse floating upright on the Hulu River - Xiaoli!

Thinking of this, cold sweat suddenly appeared on Hu Daniu's forehead, and then he saw Lao Wang standing at the door, pointing behind him and asking doubtfully:

"Is there anyone else dead in that family in the village?"

Hu Daniu knew that Lao Wang was referring to Xiaoli's coffin. He glanced back subconsciously and then explained:

"How can anyone die? Isn't this just that bitch..."

Before he finished his explanation, Hu Daniu opened his eyes in great horror!

"How come the coffin lid is open?"

"What's going on with the water here...?"
