C41 (1/2)

After hearing what Second Master Lin said, I finally understood why people always emphasize to follow the customs of the land. It seems that if one does not follow the customs of the land, not only the living would find trouble with you, even the dead would not let you off.

Then, I suddenly thought of something. Where is Xiao Tao? Where did the Xiao Tao go?

I panicked a little. At these joints, even the slightest movement would cause me to be extremely sensitive.

Second Master Lin said that after my Xiao Tao and I went back to the courtyard together, we did not see anyone. At that time, everyone was busy trying to catch me, and after I passed out, Da Jian suddenly remembered that he still had his Xiao Tao. But if he went to look for him now, he would not be able to find him.

It's unknown what Second Master Lin is thinking, but it seems like he has made a decision, and wants me to go with him to the Baozi's home.

Although I didn't want to go back even if I was beaten to death, the Xiao Tao was gone and I had to go back. After putting on my clothes, I rushed to Baozi's home with the Second Master Lin.

When I arrived outside, I found out that it was already dark, and I had actually slept for the entire day.

When they entered the yard, everything was the same as yesterday. Steamed Bun's corpse was still lying in the coffin.

When he returned to this place once again, the cold feeling was still there.

The light bulb was good, it hadn't broken at all, and the weak light illuminated the mourning hall with an indescribably strange feeling.

If not for finding the Xiao Tao, this place would have never come even if it was beaten to death.

Second Master Lin and I will split up and look for him. He turned around and went to the side room.

To be honest, I wanted to call Second Master back. I really didn't want to face this place alone, but due to face, I could only pretend to be brave.

I stood between the doors of the mourning hall, not daring to take a single step.

After shouting out Xiao Tao's name a few times, he didn't get a reply.

At this moment, I can only pray for two things in my heart. One, to quickly find the Xiao Tao and leave this place.

Things did not turn out as he wished, for fear of what might come next.

Just as I was about to shout ”Xiao Tao”, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the coffin bun.

He didn't know whether it was his vision or what, he had been lying flat on his back the entire time, but at some point, his eyes had opened!

The worst part was that his head didn't move, but his eyes were slanted, and he was looking right at me from that angle.

Although I had experienced a few supernatural incidents, I was still frightened to the point that I almost sat on the ground.

I took a few quick steps away from his eyes.

But I found that no matter where I moved, his bulging eyeballs always squinted at me!

I was extremely scared and quickly called for Second Master Lin. Second Master Lin who had heard the commotion quickly ran in and asked me what was wrong.

I pointed to the body of the bun with trembling hands.

But when I looked at him again, where were my eyes? It was clearly the same as before with his eyes closed!

Second Master Lin did not understand why I was so nervous. I told him about the situation earlier and he went over to take a look, but he did not discover anything.

He said I might be too nervous and hallucinating.

We stared at the body for a long time, and this time nothing happened.

Maybe I really was seeing things. Second Master Lin consoled me, don't be afraid, nothing should happen to me.

Then I stopped talking about it.

I asked him if he found any traces of the Xiao Tao. Second Master Lin shook his head.

Since he's not here, he should quickly retreat so as to avoid any more trouble.

As I stepped out of the mourning hall, I couldn't help but look back and was startled once more.

Steamed Bun's crooked eyes were staring at me again! And this time, his head was crooked!

I didn't know if it was an illusion, but I was too scared.

I didn't dare to speak to Second Master Lin anymore. I'm afraid that when he looked at it, everything would return to normal.

After exiting the courtyard, I thought to myself, Where did the Xiao Tao run off to?

In order to prevent me from being infected again, Second Master Lin gave me a silver needle.

He told me that if anything strange happened to him again, he would use it on his own people and his spirit would be fine as soon as it recovered.

I memorized his words and gripped the silver needle.

But, in such a large village, where could he find a person?

Right at this moment, Bao Wenjun ran in with a few other companions. He said that they had found the Xiao Tao!

Second Master Lin and I have to ask, where is it?

Bao Wenjun and those few brothers of his had ugly expressions. He said that the both of you should go over to take a look and begged Second Master Lin to think of a way to save Xiao Tao.

Hearing this, I panicked. Save the Xiao Tao? What had happened to him?

The Second Master Lin was also panicking a little. Without waiting for his reply, Bao Wenjun and the others walked forward and led the way.

For the sake of numbers, Second Master Lin called Da Jian up.

The few of us followed Bao Wenjun and the others to the scene of the accident.

Second Master Lin gave me a black umbrella and let me hold it.

Da Jian will lead the way, I will hold an umbrella in the middle, and Second Master Lin will be at the back.
