C4 (2/2)

”So what? Go and make more water. After taking a bath, go and buy some food and wine!” There was no water heater in the country, and everything depended on the woodstove. Even the best mobile phone calls in our village were made by the village chief, who could be used as a brick by the old Nokia model, smashing walnuts one by one.

I took off my clothes and saw that there was a large purple lump on my arm from the pinching. It was all done by that ghost girl just now, but it didn't hurt or itch, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

After showering, I changed into clean clothes, walked out of the shop and went to Uncle Wang's tavern at the east end of the village. I bought some side dishes and a roast chicken, the old man loved to drink some small wine, and it was a high concentration of white spirits.

”He's back …” The old man walked out of the water room, changed his clothes, and sat down at the table to light up his pipe.

”I've been busy all day, too. Drink some wine to relieve my fatigue.” The old man picked up the wine jar and poured two bowls of wine. He placed one bowl in front of me, ”Come and drink with me.”

”We can have some too …” I am not very good at drinking, especially this kind of high concentration of white wine, drink a little bit and I will not wake up.

The old man picked up his bowl and drank two mouthfuls before taking two mouthfuls of the side dish, ”You saw what happened today, did you notice anything wrong with it?”

”It's nothing. It only lasted for a short while from the beginning to the end. There wasn't even a line from the funeral, it just burned it.”

I took a sip of wine, broke off a chicken leg, and took a bite. ”But how did that female corpse fall out of the coffin?

I rolled up my sleeves and let the old man take a look. ”What should we do now? There shouldn't be any problems, right?”

”That's because you two are fated to be there. This Ghost Bind will be in your next life, so that ghost girl should have been on the corpse. If you burned her body, she would have really become a homeless ghost.” The old tutor took in a deep breath of smoke and slowly exhaled a ring of smoke as he spoke in a low voice.

”So she still came to find you and ask for a place to settle down.”

”Then what should we do?” ”I don't want to die …” I was a little scared. I had experienced that crazy girl's methods before, ”The old man's coffin was actually suitable. That man who came that night, could he be the murderer of Tang Yufeng?”

”You don't need to worry about this matter. You and Tang Yufeng can be considered to have a bad fate. I will think of a way to make this situation more perfect.” The corner of the old man's mouth curled up into a strange smile. Just looking at him made me feel a bit scared. This old fellow has a lot of schemes.

”Lordmaster, aren't you trying to harm me? You want me to be associated with a ghost girl?”

”You stinking brat, this is all for your own good.” The old man knocked on my head with the pipe, and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, ”How does this wine taste? It's fine to drink with me, but don't drink with anyone else outside.”

I wiped my mouth and threw a mouthful of food into my mouth. ”Who am I drinking with outside? I don't know anyone.”

The alcohol consumption was really high. After I drank half a bowl of it, my vision started to blur. I felt a little dizzy before I said, ”I'm not drinking anymore. My head feels a little dizzy. I'm going to sleep for a while.”

As soon as the alcohol hit me, I felt a hot, burning sensation in my body, and I reached out to take off my clothes. He walked out of the house, took a bucket of cold water from the water house and dived in.

I remember the last time I drank, on my twentieth birthday, it was the same way when I finished my drink. I took off my clothes. When I woke up, it was already night and the old man was already asleep.

For a moment I felt a thirst in my mouth. I went out to the yard to get some cool well water, and after a few gulps I was able to quench my thirst.

This bowl of wine was so intoxicating that it made me feel like smoke was coming out of my throat.

As a chilly wind blew over, I couldn't help but shiver. I felt a chill down my spine. I quickly got up and went back inside, closing the door behind me. I thought it would be warmer in comparison, but it was colder than it was outside.

As if the temperature had dropped to zero, I jumped into bed and pulled the quilt over me. As soon as I lay down, I felt something was wrong. My left hand found a hard, cold object. Puzzled, I turned on the lamp, and with the help of the dim light, I got up to take a look.

”Ah …” I couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air. I couldn't help but cry out before rolling down from the bed. It wasn't that I was mistaken, but when I looked at the bed again, it was indeed a paper man.

I quickly got up. The paper man was lying quietly on the bed. This paper man was a damn woman. I don't remember having such a hobby.

”Bang bang!” Two muffled sounds came from outside the door, startling me. It sounded like someone was knocking on the door.

”Who is it …?” ”Who's outside?” The knock at the door stopped abruptly, and before I could think about picking up the paper man, I went out to put it back on the shelf. The paper man suddenly became so heavy that I felt like I was holding a dead man.

”Cluck, cluck …” ”Heh heh.” The laughter was so loud that it made my heart tremble. I threw the paper man onto the ground. The paper man was grinning at me.

That smile was extremely weird. A layer of coldness rose from the bottom of my heart. The paper man actually stood up, ”You actually burned me to ashes. I'll make you come down and accompany me today!”
