Is it a coincidence?

Obviously not!

In grandpa's words, this is definitely Li Hu's plan!

I don’t know what Li Hu is doing outside these years, but he chose this day to dig graves and use aromatherapy to scent the chin of the female corpse, mainly to collect corpse oil!

Grandpa didn't explain in detail what the so-called corpse oil is for, but judging from his solemn tone, the corpse oil is absolutely terrifying.

When my grandfather arranged all this before, he deliberately buried the baby's body on another mountain more than ten miles away from our village. He didn't mean to break up the mother and mother, but just wanted to wait until the first seven years passed before sending the baby's body to be buried with Li Crook's wife.

Who knew that Li Hu actually secretly dug out the baby's body and buried it with the female corpse on the first seventh day. Perhaps Li Hu just wanted to get some corpse oil smoothly, or perhaps he didn't expect to poke such a big mess.

Who would have thought that a damn black cat would appear in the end!

Grandpa said that if there was no such black cat, the female ghost would not have harmed people again after Li Crooked's family died. But because of the appearance of the black cat, people in the entire village will now be implicated.

Grandpa said a lot, and it was a bit mysterious. If it were put in the past, I would never believe it. But after experiencing this exciting scene at night, I couldn't help but refuse to believe it.

After grandpa packed up his things, he hurried out of the house with me, pointed at my door and said, "When I left before, I used black dog blood to mix incense ash to apply some on your door and window, otherwise, I would not be able to stop the female ghost! Okay, stop looking, hurry up and leave!"

I hurriedly left the house with my grandfather. It was already late at night, and the village was quiet and silent.

This situation is very abnormal. Many people in the village have dogs at home. It is normal for them to bark twice in the middle of the night. It is so silent like now, and there is obviously something wrong.

My heart beat fast, and I followed my grandfather tightly, looking around in fear, for fear that the female ghost would emerge from the darkness in a corner.

A few minutes later, we quickly walked out of the village head. Grandpa stopped and looked back, his face became very ugly.

I followed his gaze and found that the entire village was filled with faint mist. The fog became thicker and thicker, gradually covering the entire village. Everything in the village became blurred, and the cold wind blew over, making me shivering.

"Stop watching, leave!" Grandpa pulled me, accelerated his pace, and left quickly.

Our village is unwilling to leave the town, so we arrived in about half an hour's walk.

The shrine shop run by my grandfather is on the southwest street of the town. The entire store is not large, only more than 20 square meters. There are some paper people, paper and horses and other things, as well as some semi-finished products, which look quite messy.

After I arrived here, I was still a little shocked. I sat on the stool, and my whole body couldn't help but tremble.

Grandpa squatted at the door of the mourning shop, smoking a pipe, one pot after another, and the smell of the old cigarette gun was very pungent.

After a long time, grandpa suddenly sighed, took out a small bag from his package, and hung it directly on his body.

Grandpa looked at me with a serious expression and said, "Tianci, don't go anywhere here. No matter who calls you, don't respond, and don't invite anyone in. After dawn, if I come back, it's okay. If I haven't come back yet, you can take out the yellow lanterns in the corner and hang them on the door frame at night. Remember, you can go out during the day, but don't go out at night. No matter who calls you, you can't walk out of this store!"

"Grandpa, what are you...what are you going to do?" My voice trembled a little.

Grandpa's eyes were complicated, and he sighed lightly, and there was a little bitterness on his old face, saying, "You can't watch all the people in a village die! Try it and see if my old bone can solve this problem. After all, I have a certain responsibility for this matter. Even if I don't go to find her, she will come to her house!"

After saying that, grandpa turned around and left, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

After my grandfather left, I kept waiting anxiously and nervously, feeling like I was like a year.

Time passed little by little until the sky was getting brighter and there were already pedestrians coming and going on the streets outside, and grandpa had not come back yet.

My heart was completely cold, and I sat in a daze on the threshold of the shrine shop, feeling lost.

grandfather……

Sorrow comes from my heart. I lowered my head and couldn't stop my tears. I just cried like a fool.

I have been dependent on my grandfather since I was a child. If my grandfather is really gone, then I will have no relatives in this world.

My grandfather’s life and death are uncertain, but I can only sit here. The sadness and despair in my heart make me almost crazy.

"Brother..."

At this time, an old voice sounded in my ears.

I looked up and saw an old man who was a little sloppy, standing in front of me, holding a broken teapot in his hand, with a few coins in the teapot.

The sloppy old man smiled at me and weighed the broken teapot in his hand. The steel slapped sounds made a crisp sound in the teapot.

beggar!

Damn, what did this old guy think about running to the door of the shroud shop to beg for food?

The most important thing is that I am sad now. After he did this, a little anger rose inexplicably, and I had the urge to beat someone up.

"Get out!" I resisted the urge to beat someone, clenched my fists tightly, and growled at him with red eyes.

The sloppy old man didn't care, grinned at me, revealing a row of yellow big teeth, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, it's hot, don't be so angry. Just think it's doing good deeds. Old man, I'm not doing good business today, and I haven't raised enough money for food yet, look..."

I really want to punch him hard in the face, but looking at his old look, I am really worried that one punch would kill him.

I reached out and touched my pocket, took out a few steel pounds, and directly hit him, shouting: "Get out, don't bother me!"

The sloppy old man smiled again, bent down and picked up a few steel pounds on the ground, put them in his broken teapot, looked at me, and grinned and said, "Brother, thank you!"

After saying that, the sloppy old man left with a shaking step.

After he got this, the despair in my heart decreased a little, and my stomach made a protest. Although I had no appetite now, I still went to the snack stall not far from the shrine shop to eat something.

In the afternoon, I fell asleep next to the glass counter in the mourning shop. I didn’t sleep all night last night and was so tired that I couldn’t stand it.

When I woke up, the sun had already set. The street in front of the shrine shop was considered a relatively remote street in the town, and there were fewer pedestrians.

Looking at the hazy night outside, I suddenly remembered my grandfather’s instructions before leaving, and hurried to the corner of the store, searching through a pile of bamboo strips, semi-finished paper men, paper horses and other messy things.

After searching for a while, I finally found the yellow lantern that my grandfather mentioned.

This lantern is a bit strange, very small, only a big head. The layer wrapped outside is not paper or cloth, it is a bit smooth, like some kind of thin leather. Among the lantern, there is a small white candle with a short finger.

Before leaving, my grandfather just told me to hang the lantern on the door frame until evening, but did not explain whether to light the candles in the lantern.

I didn't think too much about it. Since there are candles in this lantern, it must be lit!

I took out the lighter and lit the small candle in the yellow lantern. Just as I was about to hang the door frame, I trembled suddenly, stared at the candle in the lantern with wide eyes, and my heart almost stopped beating.

After the candle in the yellow lantern was lit, it emitted a faint burnt smell, just like the smell of rotten leather ignited, a little pungent.

This is not the key, the key is that the flame presented by this candle is not normal orange-yellow, but a little faint green. Such a fire gives people no warmth, but a gloomy feeling.

The wax dripped from the candle is more like some kind of liquid, light yellow.

This made me unable to help but think of the corpse oil collected by Li Hu when he used incense to roast the female corpse's chin!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a breath, and my eyes twitched at the small candle inside the yellow lantern.
