death

Chapter 46 The Giant in the Gutter

The turmoil in Yao's villa is over for the time being, we chatted with Yao Ziqiang for a while, and then we covered his mother's crystal coffin together.

Pushing the lid of the coffin, Yao Ziqiang leaned on the side of the coffin and sobbed slightly: "Honestly, mother, I'm really not willing to bury you with that bastard, but I don't want you to die in peace, as long as you can go Don't worry, I depend on you for everything."

Then Yao Ziqiang said, let Mai Xiaorou and I live in his villa, and he called the funeral home and the people who will attend the funeral tomorrow to inform them that tomorrow's funeral will be arranged in the countryside.

At the same time, he also called a friend in the country and asked him to find someone to dig a grave next to his father's grave to bury his mother.

As soon as the phone call was made, Yao Ziqiang made all the arrangements for tomorrow's funeral. It has to be said that he is still quite capable.

Seeing that Yao Ziqiang had almost arranged everything, Mai Xiaorou and I stopped guarding in the living room, but went to the room Yao Ziqiang arranged for us.

Mai Xiaorou's wounds add to her injuries, and she needs to take good care of her.

This time Yao Ziqiang did not leave home again, but stayed beside his mother with peace of mind, guarding her coffin. Not only that, he also called his wife and children back.

It was almost in the evening that Yao Ziqiang's wife drove over with their son, and Mai Xiaorou and I didn't see them until dinner.

Yao Ziqiang's wife is Lin Hui, a very gentle woman, she speaks softly, and she will do whatever Yao Ziqiang tells her immediately.

Yao Ziqiang's son is Yao Liangliang, who is only in junior high school. His personality is very similar to that of Lin Hui. One can tell that Yao Liangliang usually spends more time with Lin Hui.

Lin Hui was very clear about the identities of Mai Xiaorou and me, so he didn't ask too much.

After dinner, we just said a few polite words and went back to our houses to rest. We didn't say a word to each other about what happened here during the day.

After returning to the room, Mai Xiaorou asked me: "Chen Yu, do you think Yao Ziqiang will beat his wife and children? I just saw that Lin Hui seemed to be afraid of Yao Ziqiang, and Yao Liangliang, look at Yao Ziqiang's Sometimes, the eyes always dodge, obviously also in fear."

I haven't thought about this, if Yao Ziqiang beats his mother, his wife and children, then what is the difference between him and his father?

But we can't conclude based on the attitudes of Lin Hui and Yao Liangliang. Yao Ziqiang beat them up. Lin Hui's attitude may be due to her lack of economic status. She should be a housewife.

As for Yao Liangliang, he is still a child, if Yao Ziqiang is usually strict with him, then it makes sense for him to be afraid of Yao Ziqiang.

I told Mai Xiaorou about my analysis. Before she answered my words, our door rang. I asked who it was, and I heard Lin Hui's voice: "It's me, Lin Hui."

I went to open the door for Lin Hui, and then asked her if she wanted to visit us, Lin Hui said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong, I just asked you about my mother-in-law."

With that said, Lin Hui looked downstairs.

I said those things had been resolved and there would be no more troubles, to reassure her. Then I asked from the side, whether Yao Ziqiang had a tendency to domestic violence against her and her children.

Lin Hui is very smart. After hearing my question, she said in a very gentle voice: "Master Chen is worrying too much. Ziqiang is a very good person. He may be grumpy because of the pressure recently. He Although I beat my mother-in-law, I never touched my child. Before that, our family lived in harmony."

"The reason why my child and I are afraid of Ziqiang is because he beat my mother-in-law. He didn't do anything to us."

After saying this, Lin Hui asked us again: "My mother-in-law has gone, and Ziqiang's temper should gradually improve."

Mai Xiaorou and I didn't talk, neither of us dared to promise Lin Hui about this.

And those things are beyond our control.

After chatting for a while, Lin Hui went back to the room to rest.

The rest of the night was safe and sound, and there was no sound from the crystal coffin on the first floor, and Yao Ziqiang's mother did not open her eyes again.

In the early morning of the next day, a convoy began to drive to the front of the Yao family's villa area. After a simple coffin raising ceremony, a few young people came, and then lifted the crystal coffin and loaded it into the hearse smoothly.

Then we followed the team to Yao Ziqiang's hometown.

The funeral procession was very large, and it attracted the attention of many people along the way. Because of Yao Ziqiang's hometown, almost all the people in his village went to help, watch the fun, and cry with Yao Ziqiang.

After arriving here, according to the request of another Mr. Yin Yang invited by Yao Ziqiang, the crystal coffin was replaced with a wooden coffin that had been prepared earlier, and then the coffin was sealed and buried before twelve o'clock.

Originally, Yao Ziqiang wanted me and Mai Xiaorou to preside over the funeral, but the two of us shirked it. We said that we were only responsible for exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts, not presiding over the ceremony.

After we refused, Yao Ziqiang invited another yin and yang.

As for that yin and yang, Mai Xiaorou secretly told me that he has no real skills, but just a guy who uses his words to fool people.

The whole funeral went smoothly. After Yao Ziqiang's mother was buried, her ghost dispersed, and the ghost attached to the corpse also floated out slowly after the ghost dispersed, and the two souls reunited again.

Because Yao Ziqiang's mother's reincarnation time has not yet come, the soul of life needs to stay in the world for a while, and the soul of the earth will go to the underworld to suffer some hardships.

All the queues waiting for the funeral dispersed, and Mai Xiaorou and I still stayed in front of the grave.

After a while, the twin souls of Yao Ziqiang's mother and another middle-aged man wearing a black shroud walked out of the grave together.

Yao Ziqiang's father died from drinking alcohol when he was middle-aged, so that male ghost should be Yao Ziqiang's father.

The couple really reunited here.

Yao Ziqiang's mother and the man bowed down to Mai Xiaorou and me, and we quickly got them up.

Although they are ghosts, they are also elders, we can't bear this bow.

After they straightened up, Yao Ziqiang's father said: "Thank you, if it wasn't for you, Ziqiang would not have sent my wife to me. If my wife hadn't returned to me, I would never have the chance to be reincarnated. I was too useless when I was young, my earth soul has suffered in the underworld these years, and my life soul has also felt it, and I have deeply felt my mistakes."

Yao Ziqiang's mother also said: "In the days when I was about to die, I often thought of him, and as a soul, he also sensed that I was thinking about him, so he took the initiative to come to my dream to apologize to me and beg me to come back. , Really, I waited for him to admit his mistake to me, I waited for a lifetime, even though I was dead, but finally, I can rest in peace!"

It seems that Yao Ziqiang's father also sincerely repented, and Yao Ziqiang's mother also sincerely forgave him.

After saying this, the two returned to the grave together.

Mai Xiaorou took a deep breath and said: "It seems that there are no extra problems, and everything is going well. This matter is a bit more difficult than the Mirror House, and it also has a lot of danger. I guess the next case may be even more difficult. .”

Mai Xiaorou and I stayed at the graveyard for a while, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, we went to Yao Ziqiang's home in the countryside.

It is a small two-story building, but there is no decoration in the house, it has been simply decorated, and it can be seen at a glance that basically no one from the Yao family has lived here.

When we arrived at Yao’s house, there were still many people here. Seeing us coming back, Yao Ziqiang asked us if the matter over the tomb had been resolved. If it was resolved, he would send a car to take us away. Stay here all night, and leave after burning the first seven papers for his mother.

I was just about to say yes, but for some reason, the Snake King Pendant on my chest started to heat up inexplicably, and then a feeling of disgust appeared in my heart.

Is there anything around here that Snake King Pendant doesn't like?
I looked around a few times, and apart from Yao Ziqiang's family, friends and fellow villagers, there was no other suspicious person.

The snake king pendant reacted, and I immediately changed my words: "Since you are going to burn the first seven papers, then we will wait for your mother's first seven to come back before leaving, so as not to cause any trouble."

Yao Ziqiang nodded, and then arranged for the people next to him to give us a place to rest.

I asked Yao Ziqiang to be busy first, and then took Mai Xiaorou to an empty place and asked her, "Do you feel anything wrong around you?"

Mai Xiaorou shook her head, then asked me if I felt something.

I said: "It's not me, it's the Snake King Pendant. There is something that disgusts the Snake King Pendant nearby, but the Snake King Pendant didn't give me a clear reminder. I don't know what it is."

Neither Mai Xiaorou nor I can feel it, so naturally we have no clue.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Yao Ziqiang's family went to burn the first seven papers for his mother, and then came back to rest.

Mai Xiaorou and I didn't sleep, but waited for everyone to fall asleep and started searching around Yao Ziqiang's house in the country.

Because since the afternoon, the disgust of Snake King Pendant has not subsided, and it has been transmitted to my heart.

And as soon as I stayed away from Yao Ziqiang's house, the disgusting feeling disappeared, which means that the things that Snake King Zhuo hates are near this house.

We searched until it was past two o'clock in the morning, but still got nothing. Mai Xiaorou and I didn't feel any special atmosphere at all.

Mai Xiaorou and I stood helplessly in the gutter behind the house.

But at this moment, the ground under our feet suddenly moved, as if something was about to emerge from the soil.

I took a picture of the drainage ditch with my mobile phone, and the ground with a length of more than ten meters showed signs of slight bulge upwards.

This thing doesn't look small!

At this time, Mai Xiaorou suddenly said: "The thing below is alive, like a big snake, with three souls, no, four souls!"

What's going on, we obviously couldn't feel anything just now...
