C10 (2/2)
”Old man, what are you two talking about? Why can't I understand?” I was a little confused by their conversation, so I didn't know what they were talking about. ”Did you two drink too much?”
”Little Tian, go get the axe.”
”With an axe? ”What are you doing …”
”Go quickly …” I got up and took the axe from the cabinet and put it on the table. I didn't know what the old man was going to do.
Fang Fang took a sip of her wine, her face revealing a trace of a sinister smile. ”Old man, we haven't seen each other in so many years. Why are you holding an axe?”
The old man lit up the pipe, took a drag from the cigarette, and said, ”The village has been peaceful for many years, yet a ghost like you actually dared to come out and harm me. Don't be afraid that I'll take you in!”
”Phew …” The old man blew out a smoke ring and it landed on Fang Fang's face. Fang Fang suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. I saw black smoke coming out of her mouth. I was startled by the sudden scene.
”Old Man …” ”What's going on?” I hastily helped Fang Fang up. Fang Fang's body was ice-cold without a trace of warmth. She was obviously dead.
The old man took a sip of wine and spat it out, spraying it on Fang Fang's face. Fang Fang's face suddenly turned blue. The skin on her face began to swell as if she had been soaked in water.
A wound appeared on Fang Fang's neck, just like the one on the corpse yesterday.
”Lordmaster, this …” ”What's going on?”
The old man said coldly, ”Someone has changed her body, and this body isn't hers either.”
I stretched out my hand to touch it, and was so shocked that I took in a breath of cold air. Fang Fang's body turned out to be that of a man's.
This is bad … What should he do? The old man frowned and said, ”First put the corpse in the coffin, then carry it to the cemetery and burn it tomorrow morning.”
I carried the corpse to the backyard and threw it into the coffin. I didn't expect that we would be separated by Yin and Yang after parting from each other last night. I felt a little guilty and regretful that I didn't agree to her request last night.
The old man smoked his cigarette and said, ”It looks like I have to find her body as soon as possible, otherwise she will turn into a malicious ghost.” And there will be people who will die, one head for one body. ”
”Old man, where is Fang Fang's corpse?”
The old man frowned and said, ”Since that corpse was fished out of the river, and Fang Fang's body is swollen today, I don't think it's too far away from the river.”
”Then I'll go and get the body back now!”
”Wait a moment, I'm going to change my clothes. You might be able to do it by yourself, but you might even be able to do it yourself.” I changed my clothes, took the axe and left the shop with the old man. ”Old man, what the hell is this thing? Are water ghosts like this?” It is not a water ghost, and that water ghost is just a pretense. ” A pretense? This meant that this matter was not caused by the water ghost, but rather something else.
After studying with the old man for so many years, I have at least encountered some strange things, but I've never heard of anyone changing their head. The old man and I came to the river bank. We didn't know why, but the moonlight had turned dim and there wasn't a trace of starlight in the dark sky. It was as if there was a thick fog covering the sky.
The old man frowned and said, ”The fiendish aura here is actually this thick. The forest is filled with dark auras, so someone must have done something here.”
The old man took out two pieces of paper money, lit them up, and threw them into the air. The paper money began to burn, but it did not fall to the ground. Along with a cold breeze, the paper money actually floated up.
”Follow this paper money, I will take you to find Fang Fang's corpse.” I hastily followed, running through the forest. After running for a short distance, I saw a strange scene appear before my eyes. It was a group of white wandering souls, floating back and forth in front of a cave.
