Midnight Restaurant

Chapter 244
I heard one of the burying brothers say last night that Zhao Huanhuan left the house alone.

At that time, I was not very comfortable, so it is unreliable for young people to do things.

A little girl, who just lost her parents, is autistic. She is alone. If she can't think about it at night and does something extreme, what should she do? What's more, the thing that killed her father hasn't been caught yet. She If something happens again, this family will be really miserable.

So, instead of going to the yard of the old locust tree to see the situation, I hurried to Zhao Huanhuan's house.

But when I arrived at the gate of Zhao Huanhuan's house, I suddenly found something... red soil.

I was taken aback at the time, and I was still impressed by this thing. Last night, after digging the ground in the back mountain where people were buried, the land became redder as we went down.However, when the soil was dug at least one meter deep, or even more, the soil became particularly red. There is no need for ordinary people to dig such a deep hole, right?

Moreover, I think the red soil seems to be only found on the mountain or at the foot of the mountain, because I didn't notice this when I dug the tree before.

So... why did this red soil appear in front of Zhao Huanhuan's house?
"Hey, Xiaoye, what are you looking at?" Yin Banxian came to me at this moment, looking at me wonderingly.

I pointed to the soil on the ground: "Look, isn't this red soil the same as the soil in the cemetery last night?"

Lao Yin also looked down, then nodded: "Yes, it's the same... hey? But is there any problem with being the same?"

Old Yin looked at me inexplicably.

"Of course there is a problem. Who will bring this red soil to the vicinity? Look, there are more here! Let's go..."

As I said that, I pulled Lao Yin to the courtyard of Zhao Huanhuan's house. Sure enough, there were still some in the courtyard, and the distribution was not scattered. They were on the road between the gate of the courtyard and the main entrance of the house. The man walked straight to Zhao Huanhuan's house!
"It's nothing strange, Xiaoye, didn't you ask another guy who dug a hole to send that little girl off yesterday? That guy has been digging holes a lot lately, and it's in the back mountain. It's not surprising that he got dirt on his body."

I shook my head and looked at Lao Yin: "It's strange... You forgot, they think the corpse is poisonous, so they dare not touch it directly with their hands. They wear thick cloth coats, which are usually placed in the small village near the foot of the mountain." In the thatched hut, to bury people, they change their clothes, and take off their clothes after burying people. They are very careful, the soil must not be on their bodies... And, look, there are so many, this is especially digging a hole? Or is it in red soil? Did you come back from rolling?"

I said this is actually quite reasonable, and Lao Yin frowned the more he heard it.

"Okay, don't look at it for now... I don't know when the soil was left. Let's go and see the little girl first. I hope nothing happened." I frowned and walked quickly to Zhao Huanhuan's house .

I didn't knock on the door, just pushed the door open.

The structure of the house is very simple, it is the kind of ordinary mountain village house.What made me breathe a sigh of relief was that when I opened the door, I saw Zhao Huanhuan who was holding a washbasin and staring at me stupidly.

"Huh... are you all right, girl? As long as you're all right." I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother...brother...why are you here? Did...you die again?" Zhao Huanhuan looked at me timidly.

I shook my head.

Thinking about the red dirt outside, I asked, "Last night, I asked that kid to take you back. Has anyone been here since?"

The girl shook her head.

"Is there anything strange going on outside?" I asked again.

The girl still shook her head and asked me what was wrong.

After all, the soil is the soil from the cemetery. I was afraid that the girl would be afraid, so I didn't tell her the truth, I just asked casually.After I finished speaking, I was going to let Zhao Huanhuan come out and stay with me and Lao Yin in the future. She is a little girl, and it is too dangerous to live like this by herself.

But when I went to pull Zhao Huanhuan, my peripheral vision suddenly swept to the ground.

Red dirt!
There are actually a lot of...

"Brother... What are you looking at, brother?" Zhao Huanhuan noticed my gaze.

I shook my head, squatted down to look at the dirt, and looked up at Zhao Huanhuan: "Is there really no one here yesterday?"

Zhao Huanhuan shook his head in fear.

While talking, I also swept around Zhao Huanhuan's body twice. Although she was in a mountain village, the girl's clothes were very clean, and the dirt was obviously not from her body.Of course, after sleeping all night, even if there is dirt, it will be cleaned up.

So I went in and found the small bed where Zhao Huanhuan was sleeping. After a closer look, there were indeed no traces that should have been there.

Probably the look in my eyes just now scared the little girl, she kept her distance from me all the time, I advised the little girl not to be afraid, comforted her for a while, and took the girl out of the house.But I'm still thinking about what happened before.

It seems that the dirt was probably left by Zhao Huanhuan before returning home yesterday, so who is it?
The "ghost" who killed Zhao Huanhuan's father?
I frowned.

But...why does that ghost have red soil from the cemetery on his body?

"What are you thinking, kid? What shall we do next?" At this moment, Yin Banxian looked at me and asked me what to do next.

The next step is of course to catch the murderer, but the question is how to catch it?

"I think the red soil... I think it's probably left by the 'ghost'."

As a result, Lao Yin patted me on the shoulder: "Xiaoye, actually... I don't think so. How can I put it? Children are naughty. Didn't the girl lose it for a while? Maybe she ran off to play on the mountain. You just said What's the matter, rolling in the red mud can only get you covered, and you'll get a lot of dirt, right? Only a child can do this!"

I raised my eyebrows: "No, uncle, you are not stupid when you cheat people. Why are you talking so stupidly today? There is nothing on the red mud surface. Do you think this girl can roll around on the graveyard?" Huh? Or dig a hole and jump in to fight...roll..."

Speaking of this, I was suddenly taken aback.

i thought of...

Damn, a thought suddenly popped into my mind that made my back feel cold, and I was not in the mood to talk to Lao Yin at that time, so I pulled Lao Yin and Xiaoya: "Go! Go to the entrance of the village, ring the bell, and call the people in the village. Call everyone!"

After speaking, we immediately ran to the entrance of the village and rang the bell. At that time, most of the villagers came soon. They thought it was a dead person, but when they saw that there was no dead person, they looked at me wonderingly.

And when I tell what I've summoned them for, I'm nearly beaten, even with the title of Master.

I asked them to dig my grave for me.

I can't say why, I can only say that it is a necessary thing to help exorcise evil spirits.

At that time, few people catered to me, and some even wanted to drive me away. After all, this village is still quite backward.Fortunately, those two young boys seemed to have a good impression of me last night, and they were quite willing to believe me. At that time, seven or eight young boys were called together, regardless of the obstruction of other people in the village, and we arrived at the back mountain.

In order to confirm the idea in my heart, I must dig up the graves of these people who died recently.

That thought was actually pretty scary, and I don't know why I thought that.

but……

But after digging up the graves of all the recent dead, it turns out that I was right...

empty!

Every grave!All empty!The bodies of the recently dead are all gone!
"How...how did this happen?!" The young boy who buried someone with me last night was stupefied, but at this moment, only the grave of Zhao Huanhuan's father who died yesterday has not been dug up. I pointed at the grave. Grave, said to the kid: "Dig this one too."

The hands of the burying man trembled a little, so he called someone, and the two dug together.

A not surprising scene appeared, there was still nothing under the tomb bag.

But the villagers present and Yin Banxian were stunned, where did the corpse go?Well, I don't know about this, I just had a whim, thinking that the mysterious person who went to Zhao Huanhuan's house had red soil on his body, but so much soil seemed to be rolling in a grave.

So I thought, would the murderer be the corpse in the grave?
Only they have so much red dirt on them...

I guessed right, but I couldn't explain it clearly.

I don't even know where the dead bodies went.

After returning to the village, the news spread in the village, and now the people in the village were even more afraid. Many of them came to me, but I had no choice. It's still far away, but it adds a doubt.

On the contrary, Lao Yin, in order to appease these agitated villagers, distributed the talisman from door to door. Not to mention, these villagers believed in this, and after taking the talisman, their mood improved a lot.But I know that Lao Yin's thing is a lie, and it is basically useless. I have repeatedly told him that even if he takes the talisman, the door must be locked, and no one should open the door at night.

This is the only thing we can do now.

But there is one thing that I really never dreamed of.

What's the matter?
This talisman is working!

That happened at about nine o'clock that night. The accident happened to the little brother who buried people and dug pits with me. He lived in the same yard with his parents and wife. It is said that at nine o'clock that night, their family listened to There was a knock on the door, just outside the courtyard.The little brother's father originally planned to open the door, but because the little brother believed in me so much, he hurriedly stopped his father.

Because of my close relationship, Yin Banxian gave their family an extra talisman. In addition to the one on each of the two doors, he also has one in his hand.

That night the knocking on the door was very loud, and it was heard that the family members were unwilling to open the door. The person who knocked on the door outside also showed a fierce look, shouting: "Give you face, you are shameless! I am helping you! Helping you!"

Then they were smashed, and the whole family was terrified.

The three of them hid in the house, at the window, and heard the person who came in roaring and cursing in the yard. The voice sounded very strange, and after a few words, they twitched, and they were a little hoarse, and they couldn't tell who it was.But after shouting for a long time, without knowing why, the voice gradually became smaller and finally disappeared.

At that time, the family was quite strange. The younger brother bravely looked up a little bit, hoping to see the situation in the yard from the window, but as soon as he looked up, he saw a green face covered with snake scales!The little brother was so scared that he almost peed, and in a panic, he took a magic talisman from Yin Banxian, snap!He slapped the monster's face with a slap. At that moment, the little brother felt his palms thawed. He quickly stopped his hand, and then saw the monster's face burning outside the window!
There was a heart-piercing howl from his mouth, and he fled!
