glamorous ghost wife

Chapter 11 Apprenticeship
The blazing flame rose, and the coffin shook violently. I could clearly see that in the flames, the uncle and aunt sat up and struggled silently.

But they seemed unable to break free from the coffin, struggling in the flames, a very tragic scene.

The old man directly pushed Jiang Chen and me out of the main room, took out many talismans from the bag with a gloomy expression, and pressed them on the sofa furniture and other items in the room.

When he walked out of the main room, a raging flame rose in the main room, thick smoke billowed, and the flames quickly engulfed the main room.

The old man led me and Jiang Chen out of the village. I don't know how I got out of the village, and I was in a state of despair.

After walking out of the village entrance, the old man looked back at the village, sighed softly, and said, "This place is temporarily uninhabitable, and there is a lot of yin and resentment!"

As he spoke, he glanced at me and said softly, "What are you going to do in the future?"

I shook my head blankly, my brain was in a mess.

My uncle and the others are all dead, my parents are missing, and in all likelihood, something unexpected happened. I don't know what to do next.

The old man looked at me, sighed softly, and said, "If you have nowhere to go, just follow me for the time being! Come to my shroud shop to help, and take care of food and housing. The wages may be a little less, but there is still a place to stay. The most important thing is that your sister-in-law was injured by my apprentice, who knows if there will be troubles for you in the future, following my words can also teach you some self-defense methods."

When the old man said this, I saw that Jiang Chen's face suddenly became a little weird, but then he returned to normal, and he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

I didn't care about it either. I really had nowhere to go at this time, so I nodded and agreed.

After leaving the village, the old man took the two of us back to the town on a motorcycle.

From this day on, I stayed at the shroud shop on West Street in the town.

Regarding things in our village, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong.

I still don't know what happened between my sister-in-law and the ghost in white, and I don't know where the ghost in white went.

Also, what happened between Jiang Chen and his sister-in-law? If Jiang Chen really hurt his sister-in-law, how could Jiang Chen pass out in the coffin?Why didn't the sister-in-law kill him?
All kinds of questions filled my mind. I asked Jiang Chen, but at that time Jiang Chen hesitated, as if there was something unspeakable, saying that he used the secret method taught to him by the old man to hurt his cousin. As for why he ended up comatose in the coffin, He himself does not know.

I felt that Jiang Chen seemed to be hiding something from me, but if he didn't tell me, there was nothing I could do.

The old man was nice to me, let me do odd jobs in the shroud shop, and let Jiang Chen teach me some weird ways of catching ghosts when I was free, some of which were unheard of, but it really opened my eyes.

I have nowhere to go, and I am really worried that my cousin will come back to find me, so I just live here.

Not long after, I officially worshiped the old man as my teacher and became his second disciple.The ceremony is also relatively simple, that is, kowtow to serve tea, the old man, um, now he should be called Master, he is also more casual, without too much particularity.

However, there is one thing he reminded me to keep in mind, that is, a few rules he set, such as not to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors, not to kill each other, and so on.

Jiang Chen saved my life. If he hadn't reacted quickly and kicked me aside that time, maybe I would have been killed by my cousin, so I am very grateful to him in my heart.

In addition, Jiang Chen really took good care of me during this time, like a gentle elder brother. To be honest, I feel closer to him than to my master.

During this time, Jiang Chen accompanied me back to our village.

The village is still shrouded in gloom and dead silence.

Every household was searched, but no one could be found, not even a dead body.The whole village was empty, and everyone seemed to have evaporated.

He accompanied me to the cemetery on the back mountain of the village. My cousin's grave was gone, so naturally I couldn't find my cousin's buried body either.

All of this is weird, I know that Jiang Chen must know something, but he insisted that he would know nothing after he passed out, and told me not to guess, the truth will come out one day.

I had no other choice. After leaving the village, I remembered something, and then went to the neighboring village with Jiang Chen, to the witch's house.

The door of the sorceress's house was locked. When I asked the people in this village, everyone in the village said that they hadn't seen the sorceress for a long time, and they didn't know where they went.

I asked some people about the broken thatched huts on that mountain, and those people looked at me with strange eyes, saying that I must have misunderstood, and that there were no broken thatched huts on that mountain at all.

Could it be that I was in an incomparably real hallucination in those days?
Could it be that the female ghost in white does not exist?

It's definitely not that simple, there must be something wrong with it!

Back in the town, Jiang Chen carefully taught me, taught me how to draw symbols, and taught me some ways to catch ghosts.Occasionally he would take me to a cemetery outside the town to spend the night, in the name of practicing gallbladder.

Not to mention, it's quite effective. After a few times he pretended to be a ghost to scare me, at least I won't pee my pants anymore.

Ever since I became a teacher, Jiang Chen has been teaching me, and the teacher occasionally cares about my progress in learning.Perhaps it was stimulated by the events in the village, I learned very fast, and the master praised me several times.

During this period of time, nothing supernatural happened around me, and my cousin never came to see me again.

Sometimes I think of my parents and feel melancholy.Sometimes I also think of the female ghost in white in the broken thatched hut, who was married to the ghost. I don't know if she is my ghost wife, because I am still not sure whether she is real or not.

In this way, half a year passed by.

On New Year's Eve, the three of us, master and apprentice, got together to drink and eat.

Knowing that I have learned all the things Jiang Chen taught me in half a year, the master seemed very happy, talking and laughing with us at the wine table, he seemed very excited.I was also very excited about Master's words of encouragement to me at the wine table, so I drank a few more glasses.But I can't drink enough, after the stamina came up, I fell on the table.

I didn't sleep, I was just very dazed, in that half-asleep, half-awake state.

I heard Master calling me and pushing my arm, but I really didn't want to move, so I hummed a few times in a daze.

After a while, I vaguely heard Jiang Chen's voice, "Master, junior brother drank too much, I'll take him back to the room!"

"Wait a while!" The master's voice came from the ear, his tone was a little cold, and he said, "didn't you tell him anything else during this time?"
