C38 (2/2)

In the darkness, only the leftover paper money in the brazier glowed with flickering flames, reflecting Steamed Bun's ”Damned Pig's face.”

I will never forget that scene for the rest of my life!

The Xiao Tao hurried back to tell me not to panic. He said that he accidentally bumped into the door frame just now.

Since the light bulb had been pulled over on the spur of the moment, it might have been short-circuited by a wire, so the light went out.

The loud noise was also the sound of him knocking against the door frame.

Sigh, the feelings I had at that moment, I wanted to beat him to death! This really frightened me quite a bit!

I told him that maybe Second Master Lin and the rest were outside smoking, and they came in after hearing such a big commotion.

Xiao Tao felt that this made sense, and after the incense was restored, he sat with me and continued to wait.

But we were wrong. After a while, no one came back.

Not daring to stay any longer, I decided to get up and take a look around the yard.

He didn't dare to go too far, so he called out a few times in the courtyard, but there was no response.

Just as my heart was thumping, I suddenly heard a movement from the funeral shed. It was Da Jian's voice, as if asking where the two of us had gone to.

Overjoyed, we ran back to the mourning hall.

He went back to check and sure enough, it was Da Jian and Second Master Lin.

I asked them what they had done.

When Da Jian said that he was going to pee, he felt a little hungry. The two of them made up their minds and went home to get some food, so they took that long.

Although it's a little grumbling, I didn't say anything after he returned.

Da Jian was afraid that I would get hungry, so he passed me a bag with some snacks.

I was indeed hungry, so I picked up the pastries and started eating them with relish.

When a person was really hungry, he would not care about what was happening beside him.

After eating, he burned some paper and sat down to chat.

It was half past three in the morning, and I thought I'd finish the job as soon as dawn broke.

But what happened next scared me.

I was facing the front door and couldn't see behind me.

The Xiao Tao opposite of him trembled as he asked, Where's Steamed Bun?

When I turned around, I felt a chill run through my body.

The coffin containing the corpse was empty …

Almost at the same time, we stood up and approached the coffin.

There was no one in the coffin!

To be honest, I am a weak scholar, and I can't stand such fear.

At that time, if it wasn't for Second Master Lin and the rest supporting me, I think I would have fallen to the ground.

The Xiao Tao isn't any better than me.

It took me a long time to recover!

Second Master Lin wanted us to go find it, but it was too dark to see anything clearly.

Second Master Lin asked us, how did the light bulb get extinguished?

The Xiao Tao said that when he was searching for the candle, he might have accidentally kicked a wire and caused a short circuit.

Da Jian checked the electric wires, but didn't find any problems, so he went to the courtyard to check the electric meter.

When he came back he looked confused and said nothing was wrong.

If there was no problem, then why was there no electricity? It was a very wicked night.

Second Master Lin also couldn't sit still any longer. He brought me to get someone to look for Steamed Bun's corpse.

However, what happened next caused people to be even more afraid.

After exiting the door, they wanted to wake up Bao Wenjun and his family, but no one replied.

Second Master brought me to call people from each room.

But we've been in at least five or six rooms, and even the bedrooms. Oddly enough, there's no one there at all!

overnight, everyone from the Bao Family had disappeared.

The entire village was abnormally quiet, as if it had suddenly become deserted!
