Who is my upstairs

Chapter 20 Sandalwood Box

Outside the window, the sun is very good.

A few brightly colored roses bloomed in the rose garden, revealing a trace of vitality, making people feel that this house is actually not that bad.

Taking the tools in the room, Yang Xiaofan put on a hat, went to the rose garden, pruned and transplanted these wild flowering branches again.

After working for a while, Yang Xiaofan's hands were covered with dew on the branches and leaves, and the whole rose garden was completely new.

Just as she was about to transplant a rose plant to the other side, the shovel inserted into the soil hit a hard object and stopped.I dug a circle around the hard object with a shovel. It was square, like a wooden box.

Yang Xiaofan couldn't help but leaned down curiously, gently brushed away the sand around the hard object with his fingers, there was a sandalwood box with an iron edge buried under the soil.

The Li family's ancestral house was built in the period of the Republic of China, and this box should be quite old, but what would the ancestors of the Li family put into this box and bury it in the rose garden?
Could this be related to Li Jiadang's bizarre death?
The box was not locked, Yang Xiaofan took a deep breath and slowly opened the box.

As soon as the box was opened a crack, Yang Xiaofan's eyes immediately touched the black, furry things in the box, and for a moment, a cold electric current passed through her heart.

Frightened, the sandalwood box slipped from Yang Xiaofan's hand and fell to the ground.The mud that had just rained was a bit soft, and the box was not broken when it fell on the ground, but was knocked over, and many white things fell out of the box scatteredly.

It looks like...it looks like a bone, its shape and size are smaller than human bones, and it should be the bones of kittens and puppies.

Some of these things have been turned into powder, and some of them have remained relatively intact. The important thing is that there is a handful of black hair that fell out along with the white substance.

The wind with the scent of roses blew past, and the black hair on the ground was blown in a mess. There was a strange smell of corruption in the air.

The scalp felt a little tingly, although Yang Xiaofan hadn't squatted down to carefully identify those things, he already had a vague feeling in his heart that the box contained the corpse of a black cat that had turned into white bones?
This made Yang Xiaofan unconsciously think that when Li Shaohuang rented her the house, he never said that there was a black cat in the house, and that the black cat could live well without preparing any rations.

What's even more strange is that wherever the black cat went, it didn't leave any cat hair that should have fallen.

The black cat that appears and disappears in the house from time to time may not exist at all!
Then the one she saw, could it be the dead spirit of the skeleton in the box?
Subconsciously, Yang Xiaofan suddenly boldly guessed something that she didn't even dare to think about at ordinary times, maybe all the unusual things she saw in the house were visual hallucinations created by this dead black cat with its eyes.

In other words, the black cat's undead has the ability to make people hallucinate, and maybe it just presented everything it saw in Li's ancestral house in front of her.

Yang Xiaofan himself was taken aback by this thought, he only remembered that his mother had told her when she was a child.

Her father was a bone picker before his death, and he was in charge of "bone picking" at night.

The so-called "picking up bones" is to help some old graves to move, pick out the broken bones in the old coffin one by one, put them into a new coffin, put them together into a complete corpse, and then cover the coffin and move it.
