Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 72
The damp cool wind in the morning blows open the half-closed casement, and the loud and somewhat noisy gongs rush past the door from far to near.

"Dong Qiang Qiang——Dong Qiang Qiang—" Someone ran through the alley, shouting in dialect, "Something happened! Something happened! Everyone hurry to the ancestral hall, something strange happened last night!"

The surrounding villagers went out to check one after another, and the neighbors inquired each other about what happened, and the noisy discussions broke out, breaking the tranquility of the whole morning.

The noise outside came to my ears, I frowned slightly, my hazy consciousness gradually returned to sobriety, my eyelashes fluttered, and I slowly opened my eyes from sleep.

What catches the eye is the ceiling made of wooden boards. The light sunlight in the morning refracts in, and the temperature has not yet left. Only a "squeak" is heard, and the light is quickly covered.

I turned my head to look to the left, and unexpectedly saw that tall and slender figure.

Just as Liu Wangzhi closed the window that was blown open by the wind, he caught a glimpse of me moving from the corner of his eye. The hand holding the window paused, then turned around and walked towards the bed: "Are you woken up?"

"It's okay." I lay still and looked up at him, "What's the matter outside, what are they arguing about?"

"The matter between Mrs. Lan and Congzi." He sat sideways on the side of the bed, poked my forehead with the back of his hand, his eyes were light and emotionless, "It's okay, no fever, it means that the corpse poison has been completely removed."

By the way, wasn't I pulling out the corpse poison yesterday? When did I fall asleep?
I blinked my eyes in confusion, and found that the clothes Liu Wangzhi was wearing were still the ones from yesterday. After being tidied up by the spell, they were no different from the new ones, but they were so neat that they didn’t even have any wrinkles. Just didn't take it off.

This snake never likes to be restrained when sleeping, and basically does not even wear underwear. I can see that the buttons of his shirt are still buttoned up, and the sleeves are still rolled up to the forearm. Even the position is the same as yesterday.

Could it be that he didn't sleep all night last night?

"What are you looking at?" Seeing me staring at him without blinking, Liu Wangzhi casually raised his eyebrows with his hands on the pillow.

"Eh...you guarded me all night yesterday?" I stretched out my hand to cool off the quilt, and suddenly realized that I was not wearing anything, I was slightly taken aback, and looked at Liu Wangzhi suddenly, "Oh no, where are my clothes? !"

"The smell is too strong, throw it away." Liu Wangzhi said calmly, but his white as jade hand lifted my quilt, and immediately touched my waist.

I was suddenly touched by his icy fingertips, my body couldn't help trembling, and I quickly grabbed his arm with both hands: "What are you doing, don't mess around so early in the morning!"

Liu Wangzhi's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at me lightly, his other hand had already crossed my neck, and helped me up from the pillow: "I don't even smell your own body, who is interested in messing around?"

"...?" Hearing this, I subconsciously sniffed. The smell of cold sweat mixed with the overnight wine on my body immediately smothered me beyond words.

Seeing me frowning in disgust, Liu Wangzhi let out a low laugh from the bottom of his nose, turned my shoulder to check the healing of the wound, confirmed that the shoulder was white and flawless, raised his hand and patted my back lightly: " Get up, I have brought back my luggage, you go take a shower and pack it first, and you have to go to the ancestral hall in a while."

"Have you been to Ayun's house?" I turned my head and looked around the room. I saw my things on the opposite wall, got out of bed and walked over barefoot, opened the box and took a suit of clothes casually.

"Yeah." Liu Wangzhi leaned back against the head of the bed with his chin up, and looked at me with folded arms, "Don't dangle in front of my eyes like this, hurry up and wash."

Sensing the burning and dangerous gaze behind me, I suddenly realized that I am naked now, my ears turned red instantly, I immediately covered myself with my clothes, and quickly walked into the bathroom.

The water valve was opened to the maximum, I washed myself clean, put on fresh and comfortable clothes, and then opened the door and walked out refreshed.

Liu Wangzhi was still sitting there, but there was an extra bowl of mung bean porridge on the small cabinet beside the bed.

"Come here, eat this." Liu Juanzhi raised his eyes to look at me, and pointed his chin to the bowl on the wooden cabinet.

"Oh." I moved over, picked up the mung bean porridge on the cabinet, and unexpectedly found that the side of the bowl was still hot, "Mung beans can clear away heat and detoxify, even corpse poison?"

"Yeah. I was supposed to drink last night, but you fell asleep." Liu Wangzhi closed his eyes, and pinched his tired brows with his fingers, "Hurry up, eat and go out."

Yesterday was the sacrificial coffin and tossed with those two things for most of the night, plus I had been hungry all day, and my stomach was already too empty to be empty.

I nodded and drank the porridge with the bowl in my hand. In a blink of an eye, the bowl of mung bean porridge had bottomed out.

When we went out, the woman was no longer at home, and Liu Juanzhi and I rushed to the Wu family ancestral hall, and before we landed, we saw a crowd of people crowded in the courtyard.

The villagers had three floors inside and three floors outside, almost completely surrounding the ancestral hall. There were two black coffins standing upside down in the middle of the courtyard. Fasten firmly to the coffin board.

"I'm telling the truth! If it wasn't for the coffin lady last night, I would have been killed by them!" Mrs. Lan's daughter-in-law stood in front of the two coffins, talking to everyone in a loud voice, "When they passed by, it was my family. Mother-in-law, once it’s me, I can’t wait for their souls to return to my house, so how can you use this kind of thing to tell lies, don’t you?”

"Jin Duo, don't talk crazy!" Someone from the crowd stood up and accused the woman angrily, "Our ancestors have sacrificed to the red coffin for generations, and the souls of relatives have all returned. Now you are talking in front of everyone. The red coffin is an evil coffin, it can only create ghosts, how could I believe you!"

"It's just blah, look at Ayun's family and Wu Mu's family, aren't they all realities?"

"She also said that she saw the coffin woman, that sister has nothing to do with it, how can she be a coffin woman!"

When someone started, others echoed. For a while, more and more people in the courtyard refuted her, and their emotions became more and more agitated.

Liu Wangzhi and I temporarily hid ourselves, and landed on the roof of the mourning hall to observe the situation below. Seeing this, I wanted to open my mouth to speak for the woman, but Liu Wangzhi glanced at me indifferently, signaling me to wait a little longer.

"Don't quarrel, all of you!" Jin Duo raised her voice with her hips on her hips, searched the crowd for a long time, and suddenly pointed to a child and said, "Look at little Aqiao, after her mother died Lying in the red coffin, she will be crazy after coming out, and she can't recognize the people at the end of the room, have you ever thought about it, have you ever thought that her grandma is not the same as before?"

Without waiting for the crowd to react, she turned around and pointed at the crowd again, this time pointing at a middle-aged man who was not wearing their minority costumes.

"There is also Meng Chi, he himself has come back to life, but he has also changed his appearance after being treated. He doesn't know what to do normally, and he has to go out to find his original relatives all day long. He is not guilty of crimes!"

Jin Duo patted the back of her hand, and said in a anxious voice, "You guys, are there few people like this in the village? Don't you ever suspect that the red coffin brought back to us is your relative? If it is, Then the people who pull the roof should be happy, why would they have such a miserable life?"

Probably the example Jin Duo pointed out is very common in this village. Even if someone wanted to refute it, they couldn't find a reason in a short time.

And for those families with similar problems, the most painful side was revealed openly. There was a dead silence in the crowd, and then gradually there were sparse cries.

"Don't talk too much, I'm not a member of my family at all, I'm afraid of death, but I don't dare to come out and talk..."

"Yes, yes, the old man in my house used to lie in a red coffin, but after he got out, he turned into a woman! I was so scared that I had to knock him out and put him back in the coffin, drag him out and burn him. thing……"

"I have pity on my daughter... I was lying in the red coffin at such a young age, it was fine if I didn't come back, but the coffin mother wanted to send her back, and she was born with dementia..."

Families who have suffered disasters began to reveal the secrets they had kept in their hearts for many years. As those so-called "resurrection" became false, many people felt fear and jealousy in their hearts, and their attitudes towards the red coffin began to gradually waver. , comforted those poor fellow-clans one after another.

"You have a Gu in your ears, you actually heard her going crazy here!"

A serious and rough voice sounded, and the crowd slowly dispersed. The leader of the village walked in with A Yun with a straight face.

Ayun looked up at the mourning hall while walking, and met Liu Wangzhi's indifferent gaze, then looked at the crowd as if nothing had happened, and said sternly: "In broad daylight, you dare to desecrate the red coffin in public in the ancestral hall? Do you want to die, or do you want to be taken away by the coffin woman?"

The villagers were suddenly silent, only Jin Duo stood up, looked directly at her and said, "High Priest, I know about the red coffin. If you really want the good of the village and everyone, stop coaxing everyone to sacrifice the coffin." .”

"Hmph, haven't you gone mad enough?" Ayun changed her simple and gentle appearance when she was at her house, turned around and stared at Jin Duo coldly, "If you're rambling on the red coffin to harm others, then show me the evidence." , if there is no evidence, I will sacrifice you to the coffin next time!"

Jin Duo's complexion changed, and she was so bluffed that she couldn't speak.

Seeing that the form was not right, I quickly touched Liu Wangzhi's arm, he didn't even move his eyes, but he quickly lifted the invisibility spell on us.

Before flying down the eaves, I took a step forward and stood on the roof, held my shelf and said to the bottom: "I just want evidence, I have it!"
