C73 camel (2/2)

Tang Rou whispered into my ear.

A glimmer of hope rose in my heart. From the looks of it, these people were really planning to cross the river. If not, who would come to the river at night?

Most of them were dressed in country clothes, but a tall figure stood out among them.

The reason why this person was different from the others was not because he was tall, but because the clothes he wore were clearly different from the others.

This guy was wearing a long shirt, which made him look weird in this rural area. I even wondered if this group of people were from a film crew that was filming the night scenes here.

”Did you notice something strange in the carriage?”

When Tang Rou said this, I immediately fixed my gaze on the carriage and pulled a huge box.

The box looked cuboid and dark, as if it had been painted, but it did not reflect any light under the moonlight.

It was actually a huge coffin.

This isn't the first time I've seen such a thing, but I've never seen such a large one. Furthermore, logically speaking, the paint on the coffin wouldn't be so drained.

”These guys are carrying a coffin at night. What are they planning to do? Could it be that the custom here is to be buried at night?”

Tang Rou's words made me shake my head.

They were heading directly for the river ferry, and the most likely possibility was that they were going to transport the coffin to somewhere on the other side.

Although all of this seemed a little strange, it seemed to be the case.

This group of people walked very quickly, as if they were in a hurry. They passed by the place where the two of us were hiding. They didn't find me or Tang Rou. In addition, they seemed to be discussing something.

”I wonder if that crazy old woman is still waiting for us there. If we delay it, then this matter won't be easy to deal with.”

The two people at the front stretched their necks and kept looking forward.

Another person spoke up.

”Don't worry, Hunchback Feng has taken a lot of my benefits. He will definitely be there to guard us tonight whenever we come over. Look, there are still lights on in the front room.”

At first, I thought that there would be people guarding this intersection every day, but after listening to the tone of their conversation, I understood that the reason why the ugly Hunchback stayed here so late at night was to wait for them.

”Didn't you say you won't cross the river at night? Isn't that obvious? One in front, one on the back.”

Tang Rou's tone carried a bit of anger.

”From the looks of it, they seem to know each other. It seems that the matter tonight is rather strange.”

I looked at the time on my phone. It was already past 8. Usually, the live broadcast hadn't started, but the discussion in my fan group was already very lively.

I suddenly had a flash of inspiration. The matter in front of me was extremely bizarre, so why didn't I use this opportunity to attract the attention of my fans?

Thinking about this, I shook my phone at Tang Rou, who immediately understood what I meant.

”This is indeed a good idea, and if they really want to bring the coffin over, we can sneak onto the ship. At worst, we can just give them some money, but I don't believe that they can chase us away.”

”It's best if we don't get discovered by them. We can both finish tonight's live broadcast as well as quietly cross the river. It's perfect for both of us.”
