Onmyo Ghost Hunter

Chapter 16 [Middle-aged man]

When Hei Pang and I returned to the mourning hall, the surroundings had returned to their original appearance, and the coffin of my mother had been re-covered. I walked over and found that the coffin nails had been nailed down. It seems that my cousin has already dealt with it. For this matter, I just need to stay by the side obediently, and don't let the long sleep lamp go out.

The little black cat didn't appear again, it was already midnight, the weather was very cold, the charcoal fire in the brazier was about to burn out, and when the wind blew, the white ash in the charcoal basin would fly out of the charcoal basin.

"I'll go to the kitchen to get some carbon, you're fine here alone."

Heipang rubbed his hands, let out a sigh of relief into his palms, and stomped his feet to ask me.

"It's okay, let's get something to eat by the way, I'm hungry."

I hugged my chest and curled up together, like a piece of ice. The temperature from the charcoal basin could no longer satisfy me, and after this series of things, my body was very tired, weak and exhausted. He also consumed a lot of energy. Sitting here now, he felt tired and hungry all of a sudden, especially after the corpse poison was pulled out from his body, he looked even more tired.

Obviously my uncle said that it was the two of us who guarded the spirit together. What does it mean to guard the spirit together?That is two people guarding the spirit together, instead of sleeping alone and guarding alone, and a weak person who is poisoned by corpses is guarding the spirit. I rubbed my hands and stared at the mourning hall with a disturbed look. There was a photo of my grandfather hanging there, because Grandpa said before that he would not live long, so the posthumous photos were prepared very early, but mother's hadn't yet.

Looking at my grandpa's kind smile, I felt very uncomfortable. If everything he said was true, why didn't he use his life to extend his life?My father and I are both young and able to withstand the toss.

When grandpa was young, many people had received his favor, so there were a lot of people who came here. I don't remember most of them. The one who came to make trouble tonight was also one of them?

Just as I was thinking, Hei Pang had already walked over, poured some black charcoal into the charcoal basin, and then brought a pot over and put it directly on it. When he saw me staring at him dumbfounded, he said:

"Zhong Yuan, it's not convenient to live in the kitchen now. When the charcoal fire comes up, we can use it. Do you agree?"

"Look at your posture, do you want to cook noodles in the mourning hall?"

When I saw the dried noodles in Hei Pang's hand, I asked, Hei Pang nodded sincerely, then glanced at the portrait of Grandpa, and said to me cautiously:

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? How about we put the charcoal basin in the kitchen."

"No, my grandpa and my mother love me so much, what's wrong with eating noodles here?"

I shook my head and started to help.

At three o'clock in the morning, Hei Pang and I ate a large bowl of noodles, which were very delicious, especially the stuffing and a lot of braised pork.

After eating, Hei Pang and I persisted until after five o'clock. I could no longer control myself and dozed off. I lay next to Hei Pang and asked him to look after the long sleep lamp. Hei Pang would call every 10 minutes. Wake me up once, because in this weather, you will catch a cold when you fall asleep. After all, the door is open, and the cold wind from outside can blow in, ignoring your clothes, and directly blowing on your body, but fortunately eat After eating the hot noodles, the whole body is hot.

In the dimness, I seemed to hear my uncle's voice, as if he was talking to Hei Pang, and then I felt that Hei Pang grabbed me and went back to the room to sleep.

When I woke up, it was already bright outside. I was woken up by the suona and mourning music outside. Heipang was sleeping next to me, and the sound of snoring was loud, but I didn’t seem to wake up at all. I put on my clothes and left When I went out, there was already a banquet outside. I caught someone I knew and asked, and then I realized that it was already noon, and I actually slept the whole morning. Too bad, I forgot to track down the masked man last night.

The space in the coffin shed can no longer accommodate more tables. Some of the surrounding shrubs have been cut down, and many tables have been set up. After counting carefully, I found that there are more than 20 seats, and all of them are full. Many people stood outside, and the number today was more than double that of yesterday.

But fortunately, Xiao Hei scratched that person's face yesterday, if he was there, he would definitely show his flaws, so it would be much easier.

I observed carefully one by one, my cousin was standing leisurely in front of the mourning hall, holding an apple in his hand, biting one bite at a time, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Why didn't you wake me up? How about it, did you find the man from last night? He fought you."

I walked up to my cousin and asked.

My cousin's complexion was not very good, he was a little pale, he glanced at me lightly, holding an apple to cover the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on the front, and said lightly:

"Of course I know, don't startle the snake now, the other party is sitting in our direction at nine o'clock."

I looked up, and sure enough, I saw a middle-aged man in black sitting there. His face was scratched, his skin was a little gray, his hair was cut short, and he looked very energetic. He seemed to have noticed me. , He raised his head slightly, I met his gaze, his eyeballs were actually gray, and he looked at me expressionlessly.

"Let's go."

My cousin sighed, biting an apple and walking towards the table. I saw this middle-aged man with a trace of obvious fear on his face. He just stood up and was about to leave, but his eyes fell on mine. On my body, I sat down abruptly, I smiled coldly, followed closely behind my cousin, and walked over. Although the other party was afraid of my cousin, there was something he wanted in me, so naturally he would not leave easily.

"You came yesterday?"

I sat next to the man and asked, he smelled exactly the same as yesterday.

The man nodded.

"Originally, my mother was encoffined yesterday, did you do something?"

I glanced around, and everyone was already looking for a place, but no one came to our side.

The middle-aged man still nodded, and seemed unwilling to speak. His gray eyes were fixed on my chest, and his brows were slightly frowned.

"You bastard!"

I punched him hard on the eye socket with an angry punch. He didn't expect that I would attack him suddenly. He rolled on the ground after being hit by me. He immediately got up, covered half of his face, and suddenly laughed strangely. .

"Xiao Yuan, why are you beating a guest?!"

Man Ye’s voice came over, and at this time the surroundings were already booing, no matter if it’s in the village or the city, people like to watch the excitement, and our place is no exception, Man Ye dispersed the crowd, and walked to my side very unhappy .

"Master Man, do you know this person? Mother and grandpa's coffins were already buried yesterday, and the coffin nails were nailed in. This guy actually opened mother's coffin. Do you know that my mother cheated yesterday."

I leaned close to Man Ye's ear and whispered.

Man Ye gave me a helpless look, then stretched out his callused big hand and placed it on my forehead, his brows were wrinkled, and with a cigarette in his mouth, he said vaguely:

"It's a little fever, you eat first, and go to rest after eating. If you still feel uncomfortable, ask your cousin to take you to the barefoot doctor."

Man Ye actually thought I was talking nonsense, I was about to explain a few words, Man Ye patted my shoulder and continued:

"Xiao Yuan, I'm very busy now so I don't want to cause trouble, you know."

After finishing speaking, I showed an apologetic expression at the man I hit, then turned around and left.
