C39 (1/2)
Trembling, I followed Second Master Lin back to the mourning hall.
I don't know what the Second Master Lin is thinking, but my mind is completely blank. I only hope for the next day to come and never do such things again.
Second Master Lin and Da Jian were very calm, as if nothing had happened.
I really admire their mental fortitude!
Xiao Tao pulled me to the side, and asked me softly, ”Do you feel that there is something wrong with Second Master Lin and Da Jian?”
My heart thumped as I asked him what was wrong.
He said that with so many things happening tonight and the two of them being so calm, if they were to go out for so long just now, would there be a problem?
I'm begging Xiao Tao with a tear-stricken face, stop scaring me, you're scaring me to death! Are you trying to scare me to death!
The Xiao Tao did not say anything else and we returned to the table and sat down.
Da Jian said that he heard us just now, why would he suspect them?
These words made my face heat up, and Xiao Tao felt a little awkward.
I inwardly cursed Xiao Tao, what nonsense are you spouting!
However, when I was completely caught off guard, Da Jian who was at the side suddenly had a sinister look on his face as he pounced towards me!
I sat down on the ground, and then I got up and ran out!
In the end, Da Jian laughed from behind. Seeing how brazen you are and scaring you to death, you are already this scared!
Honestly, if I hadn't been a criminal vigil, I would have had to beat him up.
Second Master Lin stood at the side with an unhappy face. You are still in the mood to joke around with us at this time and place! Hurry up and think of a way to find him!
Da Jian scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, but did not say anything.
I had recovered enough and sat down again.
Everyone sat together and analyzed why the corpse of Steamed Bun had disappeared. Why was it that there was suddenly no one in the village?
Could Steamed Bun have faked his corpse? Or could it be that Steamed Bun had caused a ghost and wiped out the entire village?
However, for such a reason, it was difficult to convince himself that this idea was not working.
There are many things you can't ponder over. There's an idiom called ”fear of thought”, and that's it.
After a while, for some reason, I felt colder and colder.
I asked them if they were cold, and they all shrugged and felt it.
Then it got so cold that he lit a log in the house to keep it warm.
It was still summer, but no matter how cold the night was, it wouldn't be enough to light a fire.
But when we started a fire, it didn't work at all.
This sort of coldness was not like the coldness of his body, but rather came from within his heart.
We added more fruit wood to keep the fire going, but in vain.
On the contrary, it was getting colder and colder, and the temperature was dropping rapidly.
I saw that the Xiao Tao's lips were purple and his shoulders were trembling.
Da Jian and Second Master Lin are slightly better than us.
Everyone knows that sometimes, when the cold gets to a certain point, it's easy to fall asleep.
Xiao Tao had a rather fat body. He shrunk into a ball on the chair and kept fighting with his eyes.
I looked at my watch. It was almost four-thirty.
I told him to hold on for a while, that he would be fine by morning, and that it was easy for him to get sick if he slept.
But the Xiao Tao could not hold on much longer.
Da Jian suggested that we go out and run a few laps.
However, the Second Master Lin objected. Although the bun was gone, the Spirit Hall still had to follow the rules.
Second Master Lin said that maybe we were covered by a ”ghost”. When the sun rose, maybe Steamed Bun would naturally appear in the coffin, and the villagers would naturally appear in their own homes. Everything would be the same as usual, so we had to stay here and guard, not go anywhere.
He also said that as long as we don't run around, nothing should happen to us.
