Before they reached the door of Liang's house, they heard bursts of suona sounds coming from inside. This suona sound was exactly the sound they heard faintly on the road last night.
Zeng Li frowned slightly, but there was no expression on her face, and Mo Dan, who was walking at the end, seemed a little timid.
As soon as the middle-aged woman opened the door to the courtyard, what appeared in front of everyone was a yellow-looking screen. It could be seen that it was quite old, at least sixty or seventy years old.
If that screen were sold for money, it would probably be sold for tens or even millions.
As soon as they entered the yard, they saw two coffins placed on both sides of the yard, with a piece of white cloth separating the two coffins. Their yard was also very large, and they estimated that there must be at least two hundred.
square,
It's no wonder that people in the village rumored that their family was a wealthy family in the Qing Dynasty. Qin Nan was also surprised when he saw it, but when he saw the two coffins placed in the yard, he felt something was wrong.
"Please help Erxiangu!" the middle-aged woman begged. This middle-aged woman's name is Huang Ercui. She is the eldest son of the Liang family and the daughter-in-law of Liang Shouguo. They have a daughter who is currently a freshman at a normal university.
Zeng Li nodded, said nothing, and then took Mo Dan's hand and walked into the house. Qin Nan and Wu Haotian seemed to want to follow. She said she would come out later, and now she just went in to make preparations.
About ten minutes later, Zeng Li and Mo Dan walked out. When Qin Nan saw Zeng Li's pale face, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
At this time, the makeup on Zeng Li's face was similar to her grandma's. Especially this early in the morning, she looked a little funny. There was also dark red lipstick on her mouth.
What Qin Nan found most funny was that Mo Dan's face was painted with black paint, like black charcoal, and only the original color of his eyes and lips could be seen.
The two seem to be playing a real version of black and white.
"Dingle bell..." Zeng Li frowned and rang the bell, and Mo Dan rang the bell at the same time in front of another coffin.
Then the two of them danced a strange dance in tacit understanding, and Zeng Li said in her mouth: "The Supreme Lord has decreed that I will transcend your lonely soul and all ghosts and ghosts. I will be blessed in all four lives. Those who have heads will transcend, and those who have no heads will live..."
Mo Dan, who was on the other side, was also chanting at the same time: "Kneel down in front of my stage and let the Eight Diagrams shine. I will go to you and be reborn in another place. I am a man or a woman. You are responsible for your own responsibility. You are responsible for wealth and poverty. It is up to you to call me. I will wait for everyone to wait for you."
Urgent birth!"
Then, the bells in the hands of the two people rang again, then jumped in the air and rotated 360 degrees, scattering a handful of yellow talismans. Finally, the two of them each lit a yellow talisman, and it ended
This ritual.
When the group of people who came to attend the funeral saw it, they couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock. At this time, someone in the crowd whispered to the people on the side: "As expected of the Second Immortal Aunt and the Third Immortal Aunt, they are simply amazing..."
Before the man finished speaking, a gust of wind blew up from the ground and blew the yellow charms into the air.
"Oh, it's amazing, it's amazing!" an old man in the crowd shouted.
Mo Dan glanced at Zeng Li, as if he was a little surprised by the gust of wind just now, but after Zeng Li finished her ritual, she walked directly to the room on one side, and Mo Dan followed immediately.
"It's amazing, it's so amazing, the fairy is the fairy!" Huang Ercui sighed at the side, and then came to her husband's coffin again. She looked at her husband's face,
The originally relieved face suddenly showed a look of doubt. Qin Nan hurriedly walked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Why, after the ritual, the black lines on my husband's hands and neck still haven't disappeared?" Huang Ercui said.
Qin Nan also slowly walked to her husband's coffin. When she saw the black lines on her husband's neck and hands, she frowned. They looked as leaky as they were.
Qin Nan looked at the coffin of the ninety-nine-year-old man next to him. At this time, he was lying in the coffin with a peaceful face, and there was nothing wrong with it.
For some reason, he always felt that the corpse of Huang Ercui's husband was a little strange, looking like a zombie in some movies. It was no wonder that Huang Ercui felt that something evil had happened to his family.
Not long after, Zeng Li and Mo Dan walked out of the room over there. At this time, a man in his sixties hurriedly walked up to Zeng Li and handed them an envelope filled with brown paper.
There should be banknotes inside. After Zeng Li opened the seal of the envelope and took a look, her eyes widened a little, and then she showed an imperceptible smile, as if she was very satisfied with the reward.
After seeing Zeng Li and the others coming out, Huang Ercui walked up to them and said with a smile:
"Thank you for your hard work, two fairies. Could you please help me find out what is going on with my husband?"
Zeng Li responded, but Mo Dan seemed a little hesitant, because this was the first time she and Zeng Li danced the exorcism dance together. She had never seen any real corpses, except those hanging in the air in the playground.
of mummy.
Zeng Li didn't look at Mo Dan's expression, but she knew she was afraid of this, so she asked her to stay where she was, and then walked to the coffin of Huang Ercui's husband Liang Shouguo.
The moment Zeng Li saw the corpse, her heart couldn't help but tremble, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble. It was the strangest and most terrifying corpse she had ever seen.
It's no wonder Huang Ercui asked them to exorcise the devil. This man looks like one of those zombies in Lin Zhengying's movies, with black lips and black eye bags.
The most horrifying thing is the looming black lines on the skin of the deceased, which look very strange.
"Er Fairy Girl, what's going on? Did the exorcism just now work?" Huang Ercui asked worriedly.
After Zeng Li saw this strange corpse, she was not sure, but she still said with certainty with her extremely high acting skills: "Don't worry, it's absolutely fine, these are just some body spots."
Qin Nan was stunned when he heard Zeng Li say the word "corpse spots". Did he think those thin lines were corpse spots?
The reason why Zeng Li dared to say this was entirely because she heard them say it during the few days she was with Qin Nan. This was also a temporary lie she made up.
"Oh, so that's it." Huang Ercui slightly relieved his frown, but it could be seen that he was still a little worried.
The more Qin Nan thought about it, the more he felt that something was not right, because if it were a corpse that died normally, it would be unlikely that those black lines of varying thickness would appear under the skin, and the man's lips were dark and unusual.
It feels like I've been poisoned.
"Haotian, call the police. I'll go over and take a look at the body." After Qin Nan finished speaking, Wu Haotian grabbed him as soon as he took a step.
"Cousin, so far the dead people in our village have not been reported to the police..." Wu Haotian said softly.
Qin Nan showed a puzzled expression, and then pulled Wu Haotian behind the screen and asked softly: "Why can't we call the police? If we don't call the police and call 120, how can we get the death certificate?"
"Cousin, you have forgotten that our village has always been like this, because the arrival of the police will delay the burial time, and the older generation in the village are not willing to suffer such a torment and just want to leave quietly.
"Wu Haotian said,
"What?! What if someone commits a murder in the village?" Qin Nan asked with a frown.
"Private." Wu Haotian said simply.
"Private? Then the murderer is at large?" Qin Nan said.
As Qin Nan spoke, he took out his mobile phone and found Lao Li's phone number:
"Hey, Lao Li, I want to report a crime!"
Lao Li on the other side of the phone moved his phone, looked at the caller, and then said with a smile:
"Xiao Qin, what's going on? Why does this voice sound so familiar to me? It turns out to be you." Lao Li said.
"Old Li, you're not joking anymore. I found a corpse in Shen Village that didn't look right. I suspect it was homicide. It feels like he died of poisoning." Qin Nan said seriously.
Old Li paused and then said: "You also know the situation in your village. The reason why the village chief is familiar with me is because we often come to the village to do some propaganda work, especially the abandonment of burial and the replacement of cremation.
piece,
And the people in the village seem to be averse to outsiders interfering with their funerals, you should know this."
"Well, think of a way, Old Li, we can just investigate the case..." Qin Nan said.
