Chapter 10 The old man in the shroud

At this time, the moonlight that was slanted in moved towards the bed, and the old man's face gradually became clearer.

This is a strange old man, I'm sure I don't know him. But for some reason, I feel a little familiar, and I seem to have seen him somewhere.

He was wearing a black suit and black pants, and a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet. He stood there quietly, like a ghost emerging from the ground. I stared at him for a while, and suddenly my body trembled wildly, because I found that the old man was wearing a set of...shuddle! That was the clothes worn by the dead!

At that time, I thought I was almost scared, but I couldn't move or speak. The extreme fear made my breathing difficult.

"Xiaogu, do you still know me?" The old man in a shroud suddenly spoke.

Strange! Are I very familiar with this old man? Why did he add the word "remain"?

The old man smiled, his face pale, as if he was coated with powder, and his smile was indescribable.

"Xiaogu, think about it again, we just met today?"

Have you met today?!

Suddenly, a lightning bolt seemed to illuminate my mind. I finally knew who the old man in front of me was. He was the dead Lao Kuizi! Today I saw Lao Kuizi's photo, no wonder I felt familiar.

When I thought that the old man standing in front of me was the dead Lao Kuizi, I was almost scared. Hasn't Lao Kuizi been put into the coffin? Why... Why did he appear beside my bed? How did he enter my house?

This is a dream!

This is definitely a nightmare!

I tried my best to comfort myself, but I knew that I was deceiving myself. Because I clearly smelled the smell from Lao Kuizi, which smelled very smelly, and it was a disgusting stench of corpses! If this was a dream, then why was even the stench of corpses so real?

"Xiaogu, don't be afraid, I'm not here to harm you! I'm here to ask you for something!" Lao Kuizi's voice was hoarse.

I stared at Lao Kuizi. I didn’t know him before, so what would he ask me to do?

"You go to the locust tree at the west end of Pankou Village and find the seventh big locust tree. There is something buried under the roots. You dug it out!" Lao Kuizi said quietly.

"Lotus Forest? The seventh big locust tree? Get things?" I stared at Lao Kuizi in a daze, cursing in my heart: "Damn! You are sick! There are so many people in your family, why don't you ask your family to pick them up? I don't know you, so what can you get for you!"

Lao Kuizi seemed to be able to hear my heart and said slowly: "I have no children or daughters under my knees. You can keep the things I took out by yourself, which will be of great help to you in the future!"

I was confused when I heard it. I heard Lao Kuizi's meaning. Will he still want to give me a gift after he died? What could it be? It was so secretly hidden, would it be an antique? It's so strange! I'm not his son and grandson, why should I give me something? It's probably not a good thing!

Lao Kuizi said: "As for what it is, you will know naturally if you take it out. But please believe that I will not harm you. After all, that thing should belong to you too! Remember, don't let anyone know about this matter! Don't let others know about this thing! This is your life! This is your life!"

The more Lao Kuizi said, the more strange it became. I could not touch it at all. But I believed that Lao Kuizi would not harm me. If he really wanted to harm me, he could kill me now. There was no need to be such trouble. Thinking of this, my heart was hanging a little relaxed a little. But what does the last sentence he said, "This is your life!" mean? What's my life? It's really strange!

"The girl you are with today is your girlfriend?" Lao Kuizi suddenly said this.

I know that Lao Kuizi is talking about Gu Meidi. I thought to myself that Lao Kuizi must have been a gossip master during his lifetime. Even if everyone dies, I have to ask about these gossip news. Whether Gu Meidi is my girlfriend has nothing to do with him!

Of course, Lao Kuizi could hear what I was thinking. He said lightly: "Listen to my advice and be careful of that girl!"

Hey! You old Kuizi is so annoying. You are all dead and you want to break up other people's families. If I hadn't been able to move, I really wanted to jump up and throw him two big-eared ones. What's wrong with Gu Meidi? Why should I be careful of her? Damn, you old man, must be jealous of me finding a beautiful girlfriend.

"I'm not jealous of you! I don't need to be jealous of you! I can't use the beauties burned for me at home! Remember, be careful of that girl! I have to leave, the King of Hell is still waiting for me to go back and report!" Lao Kuizi's figure slowly dissipated under the moonlight, gradually turning into a black mist, and actually floated out of the closed window.

I felt sleepy like a tide. At some point, I closed my eyes in a daze again.

When I woke up, it was dawn outside and the crowing of roosters was already ringing in the village.

I felt so tired that my whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

After sitting blankly for a while, I suddenly remembered what happened last night and couldn't help but feel a sudden blow.

I got up, walked around the bedroom, and found that the windows were still closed. Was the incident last night really a nightmare? But why was this nightmare so real?

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, which scared me.

Opening the door, Gu Meidi walked in, holding a tray in his hand: "Come on! Try the fried dough sticks I fried with myself!"

There were two golden fried dough sticks in the tray, with a fragrant aroma, and a cup of soy milk next to it.

I suddenly remembered what Lao Kuizi said last night. He told me to be careful of Gu Meidi. I couldn't help but glance at Gu Meidi. There was a smile on the corner of her mouth. No matter how she looked, she didn't look like a bad person?

"Why are you in a daze? Let's continue, I'm almost exhausted!" Gu Meidi said.

I smiled embarrassedly at her and quickly took the tray. My stomach was rumbling all the time, so I grabbed a fried dough stick and stuffed it into my mouth, started eating it, and nodded with appreciation while eating: "Well, um, it's so delicious, good! It's even more delicious than what I sold outside the school before!"

"That's it!" Gu Meidi said: "Those vendors are fried in gutters. I use fresh pickled rape oil in your countryside, and the taste is of course different!"

I ate fried dough sticks and soy milk in big mouthfuls. My heart was warm and I quickly threw the nonsense that Lao Kuizi said to Jawa Country.

Gu Meidi stood beside the bed, stretched out her nose and sniffed: "Tuoba Gu, why is your room smelly? Is it the smell of your feet or the smell of dead mice?"

Smell?!

I suddenly remembered the smell of corpse on Lao Kuizi's body, and my heart shivered suddenly. Could it be that what happened last night was not a dream, but a real one? Otherwise, how could the corpse smell appear in my bedroom for no reason?

Oh my God!

Now I think about it. At the third update of the night, a dead old man stood quietly by your bed wearing a shroud. What a strange picture? Although it was already clear and clear outside, a layer of white sweat was still climbing on my back.

Lao Kuizi's instructions echoed in my ears again: "Pankou Village Locust Tree... The seventh big locust tree..."

I thought about it for a while and decided to go to the Locust Tree Forest to see. If there is something under the seventh big locust tree, it means that Lao Kuizi really came last night. But I still can't understand why Lao Kuizi came to me? And what he said in the end, "This is your life!", what does it mean?

Now I can’t figure out why, so when I go and take out the things under the locust tree, maybe there will be an answer.

Having been determined, I said to Gu Meidi: "I have something to do later. You can stay with my grandfather at home!"

"Where are you going?" Gu Meidi looked at me.

I made an excuse casually: "I remembered that there was a distant relative who hadn't seen him for a long time. I finally came back and took a look!"

Gu Meidi didn't ask to go with me either. She said, "Okay, then you go and go back early. I'll chat with my grandfather at home!"

Looking at Gu Meidi's back as he left, a strange feeling surged in my heart. How many people want to marry such a virtuous and beautiful beauty? Why do I listen to Lao Kuizi's narcissism? Be careful of Gu Meidi is simply nonsense! Yes, he was a dead person, and he was his ghost last night. Of course, what he said was a traitor. What I believe he did.

After eating and drinking, I went out early after washing up and walked towards Pankou Village upstream.

It was still early, there was no one in the village, and a layer of white mist was floating on the ridges of the fields.

After walking for more than two hours, I came to Pankou Village again. I heard the sound of suona from afar, accompanied by crackling firecrackers and dense gongs and drums. Looking along the sound, I saw a funeral procession coming out of the entrance of the village. There were about hundreds of people. A group of people in front were wearing mourning clothes, and the people following behind were all wearing white towels and black veils on their arms. The whimpering cry echoed on the ridges of the fields.

Eight strong men were carrying a large black painted coffin and staggered, with a big red rooster tied to the coffin. Many rural areas have this custom, when burying, a big red rooster must be tied to the top of the coffin, which can restrain evil spirits.

Walking in front was a short old woman, holding a glass photo frame on her chest, wiping her tears while walking.
