Chapter 20 Yizhuang is haunted (2)

The lid of the coffin was nailed to death, but the footprints disappeared in front of the coffin, and there were no other footprints around. Li Zhang really couldn't figure out how the owner of the footprint disappeared? At this time, Douzi was so scared that he grabbed Li Zhang's sleeve and refused to let go. His whole body was trembling, and he had no courage at all when he first came in.

Li Zhang completely disbelief of the sayings of ghosts and gods in his previous life, but since he traveled through time, he has been somewhat shaken about his ideas in his previous life, because his time traveling through time cannot be explained by common sense at all. On the contrary, the sayings of ghosts and gods can be more explained. However, after being shaken, he still doesn't believe in the sayings of ghosts and gods in his heart.

Li Zhang turned around the coffin a few times, and soon he let out a light "Huh" because he found that there was something wrong with the board at the head of the coffin. The coffin was generally high in front and low in the back. The board in front was large and thick, and the characters "Fu" or "Shou" were generally embossed on it.

This coffin has been here for many years and has been bad. After all, the hall is tide and wet. When it rains, it will leak above the head. In addition, these coffins are not taken care of, and the materials are not good wood, so these wood have been crippled and holes long ago. Although the wooden boards in front have not fallen off, they seem to be a little loose.

Seeing this, Li Zhang couldn't help but reach out to touch the wooden board in front. The word "Fu" on it was already broken. What he didn't expect was that as soon as his hand touched the wooden board, he found that the wooden board was falling inside, and then made a "bang~" sound, which scared Li Zhang and Douzi very much.

"This wood is too bad!" Li Zhang was so scared that his whole body shivered and took two steps back, but he felt that he had lost face in front of Douzi, so he forced himself to laugh.

"Big...Brother, you... look!" But Douzi ignored Li Zhang's words at all, and instead pointed to the coffin and shouted tremblingly, his voice also made him cry.

Li Zhang looked along Douzi's fingers, but was scared again. He saw two creeping green lights staring at them in the black coffin, like wolf eyes in the dark night, showing extremely cruelty. Even Li Zhang, a knowledgeable person, was scared, and always felt that he was really stared at by a hungry wolf.

"Ao~" Then a howl came from the coffin, which looked like a wolf but not a wolf, or a dog but not a dog. Douzi was so scared that his whole body trembled and collapsed to the ground. Although Li Zhang was also scared, he still picked up Douzi and took a few steps back, for fear that the things inside would come out to hurt people.

I have to say that Li Zhang reacted very quickly, but the things in the coffin reacted faster. He only felt his eyes blurred, and then a black thing jumped out of the coffin, and then climbed up the beam along the wall. Before Li Zhang could see clearly what this thing was, it rushed out of the broken roof along the beam along the roof.

"What's wrong with Big Brother?" Just when Li Zhang and Douzi were still in shock, Huozi, Chou Niang and others also ran in. The monster screamed just now, and they must have heard it.

"There are...there are ghosts!" Before Li Zhang could stop him, Douzi trembled and said it, but in the end, Huozi and others were scared. After all, they all heard the sound just now. In addition, this place was originally a charity village, and it was very reasonable to haunt it.

"What... is there really a ghost?" The ugly lady also trembled at this time. She was originally very dark, but now she was scared to death.

"What's that ghost?" Huo Zi asked with a pale face. Although he was afraid of fighting, he was most afraid of these ghosts and ghosts. If he hadn't been so cold that he could not stand it before, he would rather live in a shack outside.

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just a monkey hiding in the coffin. He climbed up the beam and ran out!" Li Zhang interrupted everyone at this time. He didn't want to make people panic because of this incident.

"Monkey? How is this possible? The footprints just now are obvious..."

"There are no footprints? You didn't see clearly just now, but I saw clearly. It was just a big monkey." Before Douzi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Zhang again.

"Is it really a monkey?" The ugly lady asked again in shock at this time.

"It's just a monkey. I can see it very clearly. It's getting late. I'll finish my meal and go to set up a stall. I just opened these days and I have to make a name for myself so that I can earn more money in the future. In addition, today I will buy a few pieces of cloth to make new clothes for everyone!" Li Zhang finally changed the topic again.

Sure enough, this method was very effective. When I heard that I had to wear new clothes, Chou Niang, Huo Zi and others all left behind what happened just now, and they were excitedly discussing what kind of fabric to buy and what kind of clothes to make. Among them, Chou Niang and several other girls even clamored to make skirts. They had never worn skirts since they were young.

"Brother, how could monkey have footprints?" Douzi seemed to understand Li Zhang's meaning at this time, and immediately lowered his voice and asked him again.

"Don't make a statement first, wait until the matter is clear!" Li Zhang also replied in a low voice. Although he had not seen clearly what was jumping out of the coffin just now, he should not be a ghost.

Hearing Li Zhang's answer, Douzi nodded. Then the two and Chou Niang and the others left the hall and ate as usual. They never mentioned what had happened just now. Instead, Huozi and a few boys joked that Douzi was timid and was scared by a monkey. Douzi's face was so angry that he blushed. He wanted to explain but couldn't explain.

However, just while eating, the ugly lady quietly pulled Li Zhang aside and whispered: "Brother, the family has been thieves!"

"Thieves? What did you lose?" Li Zhang was stunned when he heard this, and then he thought of the strange thing that ran out of the coffin. This guy was not a legendary thief, but what kind of thief would hide in the coffin?

"I bought five fewer pancakes yesterday, and there was half a piece of pork liver!" At this time, Chou Niang looked at Douzi and others who were eating angrily and said that she was worried about the meals at home, so Chou Niang knew more than anyone else's. And she suspected that Douzi and his group of people stole food last night because ordinary people would not come to the charity house to steal things.

"Maybe it was the monkey who escaped before that stole the food. Let's hide the food later. In addition, today you go buy a few pieces of cloth and find someone who can make clothes for us to make clothes for each of us." Li Zhang also saw that Chou Niang was suspicious of something, and he hurriedly spoke. He was very sure that Douzi and the others were wronged, and the escaped monster was the most suspected.

"What monkey has such a big appetite?" The ugly lady couldn't help but mutter when she heard this, as if she was still a little suspicious. However, since Li Zhang said that, she couldn't pursue it anymore, but she still felt a little sorry for the food. After all, they had just had a full meal.

Although he lost some food at home, Li Zhang felt relieved at this time. No matter whether the monster was a human or a beast, it was at least proved that it was a living creature, not a ghost or a zombie. As long as it was a living creature, Li Zhang felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

After breakfast, Douzi and Huozi set up a stall together. Li Zhang originally planned to go with him, but there was no place to hide the money at home. Douzi had previously suggested that hiding it in the coffin was a good idea, but there was a monster in the coffin, and both of them were not relieved. So Li Zhang finally decided to stay and see the house. As for materials such as pig heads, he would deal with it at home, but Douzi had to run away from both ends.

That night, Li Zhang paid special attention to the hall, but he did not hear any abnormal noise, which made him feel a little relieved, thinking that the monster was scared away and would not come back.

But what Li Zhang didn't expect was that the next morning, Chou Niang told him that there were a few less cooked cakes at home. Because there were many people in the family and they needed to set up a stall in the morning, Chou Niang usually bought a lot of cooked cakes the night before and stored them. Heat it the next day and then cooked some porridge. These cooked cakes were usually placed in a big pot in the kitchen. There were a few fewer yesterday and a few less today, which was obviously eaten by someone.

Faced with this problem, Li Zhang also frowned. It was almost certain that the person who stole things was a monster that jumped out of the coffin that day, and it seemed that the other party had stuck them. Although a few cooked cakes were not worth much, they also earned it back with hard work, and stealing them every day was not a solution.

Thinking of this, Li Zhang ordered Douzi to prepare a few things that day. When he was free in the afternoon, he came to the kitchen to start decorating it. However, at this moment, he didn't expect that someone suddenly asked outside the gate, "Is Li Zhang at home?"

Li Zhang turned his head when he heard this, but immediately saw Han Qi standing outside the door. This surprised him and said, "Han Qi, why are you here? Come in quickly!"

"I'm having nothing to do today. I heard from my second brother that the braised water you made at home is delicious, so I wanted to come and taste it." Han Qi also walked in with a smile and said.

"Haha~, then you went to the wrong place. The water was sold at the dock. My family didn't get ready to go into the water." Li Zhang couldn't help laughing at this time. Although he and Han Qi had only met once before, the other party was very happy that they could come to visit him in person.

"I don't rush to eat when I get into the water, but what are you doing?" Han Qi looked at Li Zhang holding a hammer and rope in his hand, and there were a lot of tools and debris next to him, which seemed to be working.

"Make a trap." Li Zhang did not hide it.

"Train?" Han Qi couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard Li Zhang's words.

"Yes, my family has been having trouble recently, so I want to make a trap to catch the thief." Li Zhang put down the tools in his hand, then asked Han Qi to sit down, and poured him a bowl of water himself.

"Who is so hateful? Even you orphans steal things!" Han Qi said indignantly when he heard Li Zhang's words.
