C11 (1/2)
With that, I immediately helped Liu Songxian to get busy, and directly closed the coffin.
At this moment, I felt a bit apologetic towards the man in the coffin.
I was clearly guarding the corpse, but I still managed to turn the corpse into this state. Furthermore, I even had to bury the corpse this way …
It took a lot of effort for his thin body to lift the heavy coffin lid. At this moment, the sky was almost completely bright.
Finally, he covered the coffin with the lid. Liu Songxian picked up the ink stone and pulled out the ink stone. I grabbed one end and wrapped it around the coffin.
Mo Dou was originally a tool used by carpenters, but he had the ability to exorcise evil spirits and similarly intimidate corpses in coffins.
After finishing all this, the other coffin bearers walked out.
Just now, when they were trying to seal the coffin, they made a very loud noise. It was impossible for them not to hear it, and they just didn't want to get involved in any unnecessary matters.
A few people walked out to look at the coffin, then asked Liu Songxian:
”Old Liu, why did you seal the coffin so early?”
”Just seal it as soon as possible and we'll set off earlier. This is a good time for us.”
This person died miserably. Or was he committing suicide? Seal the coffin with ink thread, just in case. ”
Regarding the matter from last night, Liu Songxian didn't mention it, which made me feel grateful in my heart.
At this time, a coffin bearer asked:
”Little girl, what kind of people came to your house last night? ”What a ruckus …”
I slightly frowned. There was indeed someone who came by last night, the Grandma Daocao had come by, and there was even someone who managed to cause the corpse of my foster father to become like this.
But Liu Songxian said that he did not hear anything, could it be … Did these people hear him?
”What did you hear?” I asked quickly.
”What did you hear …” It was a rather ordinary sound, just footsteps and voices. It was quite lively.
”I thought you were here to pay your respects. I was wondering why there were so many of them. When your father was alive, he clearly …”
Just as he was about to continue, he was touched by someone beside him and stopped.
I knew, of course, that he was going to say that my adoptive father had a bad reputation, and that I was in a daze last night, and that everything had happened since I woke up.
Focusing my gaze on Liu Songxian, I asked:
”This sound... You heard it too? ”
Liu Songxian nodded.
”Yes.”
Since you heard it, why didn't you say so earlier?
According to the description of the pallbearers, the sound came in the middle of the night. There was the sound of footsteps and voices, and it took a long time for it to subside.
Liu Songxian knew what was fishy about this matter. Furthermore, since his foster father's body had become like that, he was the first one to discover it. What was he hiding?
Will you... What did the body of his foster father have to do with him?
Logically speaking, that shouldn't be possible... Although the two villages were very close to each other, their communication was not very close. Liu Songxian had even found a lot of wailing jobs in their village for his adoptive father, and the coffin in the Aunt Zhang back then was even found and carried by his foster father, Liu Songxian …
The relationship between the two should only be limited to cooperation.
I slowly shifted my gaze away from Liu Songxian. Now that the coffin is sealed, opening it again would only startle the dead, even if I wanted to, the coffin carriers would not agree.
Now I only hope that this will be over soon and that nothing else will happen.
It was a gloomy day, and the sun had never risen. When the time came, everyone lifted the coffin.
”Lift the coffin!” ”Shadow Travelling Technique!”
Liu Songxian shouted, and then everyone immediately carried the coffin up.
