Chapter 174 Inheritance

Brief astonishment.

After coming back to his senses, Xu Zhao looked at the female body carried behind the man. After thinking for a while, he finally said: "Please come in!"

Li Kui nodded slightly, walked in, looked around, and observed the coffin shop.

The black coffin is placed in the center.

There is a photo frame in front of the soul, a black and white photo: the old man is smiling sternly, his cheeks are tense, and his eyes are a little evasive.

It feels like taking photos for the first time.

On both sides are "goods": the coffin is hung on a thick hemp rope, and the ground is kept clean and tidy.

"Boss, do you have a basin and clean towels here?"

Li Kui looked at Xu Zhao and looked at him for a moment.

This is an old man with an old appearance. His eyes are red and his face is haggard, making him look particularly vicissitudes of life.

"some."

With quick hands and feet, Xu Zhao turned around and entered the backyard. Not long after, he came over with a basin and cloth.

Li Kui thanked him, rolled up his sleeves, dipped a towel in water, and briefly cleaned the mud on the face of the female corpse.

But his dead eyes were still wide open.

"Is she yours?"

Xu Zhao was a little surprised when he saw the female corpse, and couldn't help but look at Li Kui warily.

His stern and angular face looked very heroic.

But in this situation, if Li Kui hadn't gently wiped the dirt from the face of the female corpse, he would have called the patrol department right away!

"It's nothing, just a body I picked up when I went into the mountains."

Li Kui's tone was calm.

Xu Zhao was startled, then nodded.

Logically speaking, no matter how you hear this sentence, you should be suspicious, but for some reason, when it comes from the mouth of the man in front of you, Xu Zhao has an inexplicable feeling that he is not lying!

"But she should be from here, do you have any impression?"

Li Kui said.

"Ah?" Xu Zhao was stunned for a moment, moved closer to the female corpse, carefully observed and identified it, then shook his head and said: "She shouldn't be from the village. I grew up here and have never seen her!"

"But she ran away from here."

Wow~

The towel was twisted into a twist, and muddy water mixed with dark brown blood swayed on the clean water.

Li Kui didn't look up and replied, "Don't you know her?"

"I haven't been in the village in the past two years, and I just came back yesterday." Xu Zhao was really stunned, thought about it, and said hesitantly: "If she came here at this time, then maybe I really don't know her!"

Li Kui nodded slightly and said nothing. He just went straight to the eaves and washed his hands with the rainwater flowing from the tiles.

He turned back to look at Xu Zhao and asked softly: "Where is this place?"

"Long'ao Village."

Li Kui lowered his eyelids slightly, understanding in his heart.

"Do you have a hotel or something like that in your village?"

"No."

Xu Zhao pursed his lips, thought for a while, and then said:

"It's raining heavily outside now and it's already dark. If you don't mind, you can stay here for one night."

"Thank you."

Li Kui thanked him.

then.

The female body was placed in the coffin, and the two of them stopped talking to each other.

About half an hour later, Xu Zhao brought a quilt to Li Kui from upstairs, then closed the door and went upstairs to rest.

Click~

Li Kui took a deep breath of cigarette, leaned against the beam, looked at the old man in the portrait, and said softly:

"I didn't expect that I actually found Long'ao Village by accident."

"Um."

Yang Chao got out of the black umbrella and stretched his waist. He observed and said:

"I just don't know if the death of these two people is related to the ticket inspector."

Amidst the lingering smoke,

Li Kui looked away and said in a low voice: "We have found it here anyway, it's just a matter of time."

"Okay, you've been tired for the whole day, so let's rest first."

Yang Chao said.

Li Kui nodded lightly, immediately wiped away the smoke stars, put the travel bag at his feet, wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep directly.

On the other hand, look at Yang Chao.

He stared at the portrait of the old man and the female corpse, touched his chin and began to think.

The ticket inspector must have made arrangements in advance.

In this case, he will most likely be hiding in the village. It will probably be very lively tomorrow, and Li Kui will definitely be the center of attention. I just don't know if that person still remembers Lao Li's appearance.

Thinking of this, Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh.

When the two of them came here, they didn't even know that this was Long'ao Village. They just followed the light source and found it. As they got closer, they discovered that it was a coffin shop.

After thinking for a while, Yang Chao also got into the black umbrella to rest.

When soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the soil will be covered. There are too few clues and puzzles now. It is not practical to just rely on your own imagination. You will find out tomorrow.

Ever since.

The mourning hall fell into silence.

From time to time, the cold wind blew in from the crack in the door, swaying the candlelight.





In the pavilion.

The bright yellow light bulb swayed with light.

Several old boxes were randomly placed on the floor, and a letter was found by Xu Zhao. He read it carefully under the light.

"Xiao Zhao,

"When you see this letter, grandpa is no longer alive. I know you have many doubts in your heart, so I will tell you slowly.

"You still remember that incident when you were a child? It was also because of this incident that you tried to find a way to leave here. It is the reason why you have been having bad luck outside, because the curse is still on you."

When you see this.

Xu Zhao's breathing suddenly became faster, and his face under the red hijab... He quickly closed his eyes and did not dare to recall it.

For a long time, Xu Zhao finally drove that terrifying face out of his mind, and then he continued to read the contents of the letter.

"This is why I asked you to come back. Starting from the third day of the wake, every night at midnight, light an incense stick, put a wine glass of blood and pour it into the mouth and nose of grandpa's corpse. Until the first seven nights...

My body was burned at the ancestral grave in Houshan.

"From now on, Xiao Zhao, you can leave here forever and live the life you want."

"Xu Mengliang, stay."

Xu Zhao rubbed his frown and was speechless for a long time.

After a while, he picked up the envelope and was about to put it back, but he found that there was a thin piece of paper in the letter. When he took it out, he saw that it was also his grandfather's handwriting. The first sentence that caught his eye was:

"The underworld disappeared thousands of years ago."

When writing these words, it can be seen that Xu Mengliang worked very hard and was a little excited.

On the other side, Xu Zhao licked his lips, and his heart suddenly beat a little fast.

He felt as if the door to a new world was slowly opening towards him.

Read on:

"The world is in chaos. There is no underworld, no ghosts, and more and more dead souls are wandering in the world.

"Many people didn't know how to deal with this situation, but more people stood up bravely, like our ancestors. They stood up and helped those who died innocently to return to their hometowns and where they should go.

Places to go.

"Slowly...some people call us corpse-carriers, or corpse-drivers. The inheritance has never been cut off for thousands of years. Until now, I, Xu Mengliang, took over the inheritance from my father. I am very proud and proud, because doing this

Things are worth being proud of, even if they are dangerous, even if they cost your life!

"Xiao Zhao, grandpa knows that you will definitely see this letter.

“Even when I’m dying, I’m still not willing to accept it after all…

"The third floor in the upper right corner of the attic can be uncovered. If, if you are willing, the things there can help you grow. If not, just burn them together!

"The last word."

Xu Zhao was sitting cross-legged on the floor, his head slightly lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.

a long time,

He just stood up and walked to the corner.

The light makes the shadows extremely long!
