Mystery Leaks

Chapter 54
At the same time, I was also wondering, if the big worm really went towards Grandpa's coffin, then what exactly was in Grandpa's coffin?
It's fine to recruit people and ghosts to covet it, after all, there are intelligent beings, but in the end even insects are recruited, so what is the rarity of the things inside?

I didn't open the coffin last time, was it wrong?
Open the coffin and take out the contents, give it to whomever you love, let them snatch the food, and stay far away. Although it disturbs the rest of grandpa, at least the bones of grandpa can be preserved, and I should also be able to get it. A tranquility.

I don't want to get involved in these messy and tricky things. I knew that when I dropped out of school, I should go to the coast to work, far away from the countryside, so as not to stay in the countryside and cause all kinds of tricks.

It's very bad now, if the worm swallows the contents of the coffin together with Grandpa's remains in one gulp, he will have nowhere to cry.

Grandpa's bones have not been preserved, it is very unfilial.

……

The movement made by the tiger scared the people in the village who didn't know the truth enough, and rumors spread everywhere for a while, saying everything.

Most people think it was caused by the earthquake last night, and some say that there is a volcano under Jinpen Township, which is about to erupt, so it cracked and caused the drought for so long.

This is of course nonsense, but I couldn’t stand the crowd, and even Meng Shuisheng asked me if I was going to have a big earthquake.

Fortunately, the next two days were quiet, and the rumors in the village slowly subsided. Except for the loss of some seedlings, there was no loss of houses, and no one was injured.

But I couldn't relax. I went to visit the peach grove three times a day, once in the morning, once at noon, and once when it was getting dark, to check carefully whether there was any change in the peach grove.

Huangmao was able to get in touch at first, but completely lost contact by the third day.

At around eight o'clock that night, I had just finished eating and was about to wash up, when there was a sudden "boom", the ground jumped again, and the bowls in the cupboard were all rattling.

My heart twitched violently, the big bug moved!

After being quiet for three days, why did you move again?
Could it be that he swallowed my grandpa's coffin?

I couldn't sit still immediately, I checked the time, and it was not yet nine o'clock, so I immediately rode on a motorcycle and rushed to check, secretly praying in my heart that it would not be the worst result.

In the middle of the journey, the ground jumped twice again, and the big bug was obviously still moving.

I drove the car fast, and not long after, I saw the peach forest in the distance.

At this moment, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the peach grove flashing twice, as if the fire was jumping, flashing away, if I didn't look at it, I couldn't find it at all.

"Someone!"

My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately stopped the car and turned off the lights, and soon found that there were two flashes, and this time I could see it clearly, it was really fire.

"Could it be that someone is digging up Grandpa's grave again?" I thought instinctively, and suddenly I was so angry that I pulled out the butcher's knife from the back of the car and leaned over there. Maybe it was the Feng family or the Tu family again. Three mad dogs.

I gritted my teeth, and swore to myself, it doesn't matter who it is this time, I rushed up to sneak attack and killed two first, and then I said, again and again, and again and again, endlessly, I really think I have no temper!
But in the end, when I approached the peach grove, I realized that the jumping flames were not in the peach grove, but in the ditch outside the peach grove.It was the ditch that blocked the scattering of the firelight, so the firelight I saw flickered.

I was suddenly surprised, it wasn't digging graves, what was it for?
After thinking about it, I walked around into the peach grove from the back to look at my grandfather's grave first. I saw that it was fine, there was no sign of damage, and the soil layer was not misplaced; the situation was not what I expected.

Then I looked into the ditch outside the peach grove, where the fire was flickering, and someone lit a torch in the ditch.

I touched it little by little, trying to see who was playing tricks there; after walking for a while, I heard a knocking sound, which was very muffled, like knocking on a stake.

Walking to the edge of the ditch and looking up, I saw an old man with a slightly stooped figure holding a mallet and knocking a red wooden stake into the soil continuously.

In addition, a big reed rooster was tied on the ground, with many colors, and the torch was inserted on the wall of the ditch, swaying in the night wind.

After knocking a few times, the old man gasped twice, straightened up and wiped the sweat from his brow.

Let me see his side face clearly, and I can't help being surprised.

Chen Laogen!

I suddenly felt chills all over, because last time the ghost figure pretended to be Chen Laogen and tricked me into opening the coffin. If it wasn't for the rouge mark branded on my body by the woman in red, I would be finished.

This Chen Laogen is most likely still it.

I immediately shrank back, my heart was pounding, I didn't know what to do for a while, and I didn't know what it was doing. The big bug's abnormal movement just now had a direct relationship with its piling.

But soon, I discovered something was wrong again, would the ghost sweat?

If the ghost image is for camouflage, it can indeed create hallucinations to confuse it, but I am peeking.

No, he might be the real Chen Laogen, not a ghost!
So I stretched out my head to look again, and in the light of the fire, I saw the sweat on his forehead glistening.

Afterwards, I took another look at the big reed rooster on the ground, and my heart suddenly became clear. The rooster is a very strong thing, and the ghost dare not touch it at all.

But for the sake of caution, I decided to verify it, so I took out a fire peach core from my pocket and threw it at Chen Laogen.The fire peach pit hit Chen Laogen's back and bounced off.

That's right, it's people!
The last time the ghost was hit by the fire peach core, the fire peach core passed through directly, and then turned into ashes.

"Who?" Shocked by the blow, Chen Laogen immediately dropped the gavel and pulled out a mahogany sword from his waist.

"Uncle Chen, it's me!" I immediately got up and jumped into the ditch.

When Chen Laogen saw that it was me, his expression became a little strange. He looked around and said, "Are you alone?"

I said yes, and said that I heard the movement of the tiger and came to see grandpa's coffin.

Chen Laogen heaved a sigh of relief, put away the mahogany sword, and said, "This night is very dangerous for you, you shouldn't go out."

"But there is no safe place now." I shook my head, looked at the wooden stake next to me, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, this is me..." Chen Laogen hesitated slightly, and said, "I want to set up a formation and add an insurance to prevent big bugs from running into the peach grove."

"This, can it work?" I wondered, Huang Mao said with certainty that this kind of thing must be done by a knowledgeable insect exorcist, but Chen Laogen has the means?
"It's not that simple to solve it completely. This array is only used to confuse it. It can make it lose its way in a short time. In case of accidents, you can buy a little more time to transfer your grandfather's coffin." Chen Laogen said .

I nodded and was overjoyed. I didn't expect Chen Laogen to have such a method. Thinking about it, even though he can't catch insects, it doesn't mean he can't do anything.

Then, Chen Laogen said that driving the remaining wooden stakes into the soil according to a special formation, and then spreading the rooster's blood on the wooden stakes would work.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely from exhaustion, I took the gavel and told him to take a break and do it by myself.

Chen Laogen nodded and sat down to rest.

As I knocked, I wondered where to start asking him, thinking that there were too many questions about him, and the first thing to bear the brunt was the contents of my grandfather's coffin, as well as the faintly visible tacit understanding between him and the ghost.

Step by step, I first asked Grandpa what was in the coffin.

In the end, Chen Laogen said: "I don't know what's in your grandfather's coffin either."

"How could it be?" I instinctively didn't believe it, "Didn't you organize my grandfather's funeral?"

"I did it, but I'm only responsible for your grandfather's coffin. Your grandfather made the coffin in advance. I didn't notice anything unusual at first. I didn't realize it until something happened. The floor of your grandfather's coffin was very thick. If there is something, it must be hidden in the bottom plate, there is a hidden compartment or something." Chen Laogen said.

"Secret compartment?" I scratched my head. I was naturally there when Grandpa was buried. I was very sad at the time, and I can't remember the details long ago.

"Then you don't even know, how did the things in my grandfather's coffin get out?" knew?
The most puzzling thing is that now not only them, but even the big bugs have been attracted.

Chen Laogen looked at me and said, "Nine times out of ten it is Feng Jingjiang!"
