I'm on duty in Yinshi

Chapter 16 Aunt Huang

"Ah Kui, the person you are looking for is dead, what should we do now?" Ah Hao's tone was complicated, but he was slightly relieved.

To be honest, he always thought that Gou Honglin was Li Kui's enemy, and he was a powerful one. Otherwise, why would he have to cultivate mana to deal with him, and he couldn't even go home until he found him.

Knowing that Gou Honglin is a bully now, while he was relieved, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of entanglement there was between the two.

Li Kui didn't know what Ah Hao was thinking, so after thinking for a while, he said:

"Let's go to Gou Honglin's house and have a look."

"it is good!"

Ever since, after asking a few passers-by, the two came to a small farmyard.Consisting of three earth-embryo thatched houses, it should be regarded as a relatively outlying area of ​​Meihua Town, with two white lanterns hanging at the door.

Looking inside, an old woman with gray hair was holding a dustpan in her hand, sprinkled corn kernels to feed the chickens.

"That aunt should be Gou Honglin's mother, Aunt Huang." Ahao guessed.

"Go ahead and check the situation." Li Kui said without hesitation.

Pushing open the guardrail, Aunt Huang turned her head and saw two young men coming in when she heard the voice, before she could ask any questions, one of them said: "We are the subordinates of the boss of the Great Sage Casino, and we came here specially to pay homage to Brother Gou. "

The Dasheng Gambling House is where Gou Honglin used to watch the game. Boss Ren is his big benefactor, but to the Gambling House, Gou Honglin is just a dog, so he would not send someone to worship.

Obviously, Aunt Huang didn't know the twists and turns.

Hearing what Li Kui said, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "I don't know what to call you two?"

Li Kui opened his mouth and came: "I am Adong, his name is Axi, Brother Gou took good care of us before, so we come here."

This sentence undoubtedly made Aunt Huang believe in the authenticity of Li Kui's identity.

In fact, Gou Honglin is a man who is ungrateful for profit and unpopular. He is able to run amok in the market place because of his bravery.

"Please come in, please come in."

With a smile on her lips, Aunt Huang invited the two of them into the room.

Li Kui blinked, then frowned suddenly, followed Aunt Huang into the room.A coffin is placed horizontally in the center, and there is a black and white photo in front of it, with a full face, triangular eyes, and dark eyes between his brows. He is Gou Honglin.

"I'll get you two a cup of tea."

Aunt Huang put down the dustpan in her hand, her tone was quite joyful.It seems that to her, having two people come to worship her son is already something to be very happy about.As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately walked out.

Li Kui looked at the surrounding environment, the furnishings in the room were very simple, and the coffin was also very clean.There is a problem. It stands to reason that Gou Honglin has been dead for several days. According to the tradition, paper money should be burned before the coffin.

"Looking at this face, he is not a good person, tsk... that student can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."

Ah Hao suddenly moved closer to the photo, and sighed softly.

Li Kui nodded, and stroked the black coffin with his fingers. There was no soul of Gou Honglin here.

His grasp of the ghostly communication is extremely superficial, and now it can only be regarded as a passive skill, and he has not yet mastered the real trick of actively using it, but ordinary ghosts and monsters are still enough to be seen.

At this time.

"Come on, the tea is quite hot."

Aunt Huang came in holding two tea bowls and handed them to Li Kui.

"Thank you ma'am."

Li Kui first took it with his hand, took two breaths of hot air, and suddenly said, "Ma'am, where is the incense, let's offer it to Brother Gou."

Hearing this sentence, Aunt Huang was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled kindly: "No need, you are very considerate if you can come, so hurry up and drink the tea."

At this time, even Ah Hao felt that something was wrong. Relatives and friends came to pay respects before the coffin but were not allowed to burn incense. What is this called?
Li Kui gave Ah Hao a wink, and the latter understood that he would come to Aunt Huang and start talking, so he said:

"Auntie, do you have a toilet here?"

"No, you want to go to the back of the house, I'll take you there."

"No, no, I'll just go there by myself."

Finding an excuse, Li Kui slipped out of the mourning hall, found the room where Gou Honglin lived by relying on experience, opened the door and walked in.

The door closed gently.

A short knife, a wooden dummy, and a few folded men's clothes on the bed. Although the room is small, it doesn't look too cramped. Gou Honglin is indeed not here, but what Li Kui cares about is Aunt Huang. abnormal.

According to the information Liu Wei got, Gou Honglin hadn't lived with his mother for several years, and he had an expensive mansion in the center of the town, so there was very little communication between the two.But judging from the cleanliness of this room, the relationship between mother and child seems to be very good.

Then there are two other points.

First, if the relationship is good, Aunt Huang's reaction after Gou Honglin's death is at least sad, but in Li Kui's observation, this Aunt Huang is not only not sad, but in a relatively good mood.

When they came, they were still feeding the chickens. When they learned that Li Kui and Li Kui were here to worship, the expressions on their faces were so weird that people thought they were here as guests?
Second, incense, incense worship is the respect for the dead.

But Aunt Huang stopped them, and there was no paper money or incense in the mourning hall. All kinds of abnormal behaviors just showed that Aunt Huang did not think that her son was dead, but he was still alive, so she did not allow worship or burn paper money.

It seems that Aunt Huang should have known about Gou Honglin becoming a ghost, otherwise it wouldn't have happened.It’s just that if Gou Honglin is not here, where would he be, the mansion in the center of the town, or...

After thinking for a while, Li Kui turned and went out, and then went to the back of the room to urinate before returning to the mourning hall. As soon as he stepped into the threshold, he saw Ah Hao and Aunt Huang talking and laughing, and said with a smile:

"What are you talking about, so happy."

Ah Hao waved his hand:

"It's okay, just chatted casually, why did you come back so late."

"I didn't find a place for a while." Li Kui said awkwardly, and then said to Aunt Huang: "Auntie, since we have already visited Brother Gou, there is still something to do at the casino, so we will leave first."

Aunt Huang stood up, making gestures to stop the two of them, and said anxiously: "Stay here and have a meal together."

"no, I'm fine."

Li Kui quickly refused, and after bidding farewell to Ah Hao and Aunt Huang, they disappeared at the end of the path.

The guardrail was gently closed, and Aunt Huang turned and went into the kitchen. There was a live fish struggling from time to time tied up in the vegetable basket. She took out the kitchen knife and slapped it unconscious, and began to scrape off the scales of the fish familiarly.

make a fire.

The dry grass was ignited by the flames, and after a while, the vigorous flames flickered in the pupils, illuminating Aunt Huang's cheeks flickering, and just when she was about to get up, a gust of breeze blew in.

A look of joy appeared on Aunt Huang's face, and she said happily, "Xiao Lin, mother will make fish soup for you, your favorite fish soup."

After waiting for a while, the only sound in the kitchen was the crackling sound of the hay being burned by the fire. The corners of Aunt Huang's mouth gradually flattened, and she returned to the cutting board. The grass carp that had fainted woke up, struggling and rolling.

Snapped!
The kitchen knife fell to the cutting board, and the fish head rolled to the side.
