The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 317 The feeling of trust

In a panic, I subconsciously tore off the white cloth on my face and looked into the room.

As a result, after the man sneered, he didn't stay in the house, but turned around and walked towards the door.

When I looked over, the man had already walked to the door, and I only saw a faint figure from his back.The figure from the back is very thin, and the outline of the body looks like Xu Meilu.

I shook my head, this must be my misreading, Xu Meilu and Xu Changhe are in the same group, if she found out that I was here, she would have caught me out a long time ago.

Could it be that she went out to report to Xu Changhe and the others?
My heart was hanging, but after she went out, she didn't say much, and that group of people also stood outside.

This confuses me.Now I kind of understand why I subconsciously feel that these lying corpses are far less terrifying than the people in the village.Because the villagers in Shoushantun, what they show on the surface is often used to cover up their hearts.This will make you never guess what their hearts are thinking.

And such people are often the scariest.

The people in Shoushantun are like this. What they do on the surface and what they contact with me in private are two completely different people.

At this time, I listened carefully, and there was a conversation between Xu Changhe and the others and Wang Po from outside.

Xu Changhe asked: "Wang Po, what are you doing in the village instead of guarding Yizhuang recently?"

Wang Po sneered: "Old lady, I am also a keeper of Shantun. I have been guarding this Yizhuang for decades, and one day I will be guarding it until I lie there too. I can't even go out and have a look? How about Patriarch, do you want someone to guard?"

Xu Changhe laughed twice, but didn't answer again.

Xu Ershu asked from behind: "Mrs. Wang, did you see that kid from the Li family running over?"

Wang Po was stunned: "Boy from the Li family? Has someone come from the Li family? So, my Yizhuang is really guarded to the end? Where is he..."

Xu Meilu's voice: "Stop dawdling here, that kid might have already run back. Let's go to his place now, maybe we can stop him."

Xu Changhe said: "No, the rules of guarding the mountain can't be broken, we can't enter that house. Since there is no one here, let's go to other places to see, Wang Po, take good care of your Yizhuang. This concerns all of us in the village. .”

With that said, the footsteps of Xu Changhe and others gradually went away.

I heard the door knock, it must be Wang Po who came in.

I didn't know the details of Wang Po, so I quickly covered the white cloth again.I said in my heart that if there is any change, I will rush out by myself, presumably an old woman can't do anything to me.

Wang Po's footsteps were very light, moving over bit by bit until she stopped by the head of my bed.

Before I could react, Wang Po sneered: "Boy, come out. This bed is my old lady's bed. Thanks to those people who didn't notice this, otherwise they would have found you long ago."

I was shocked, and it turned out that this empty bed was slept by Wang Po.Good guy, this old lady is brave enough to sleep among these mummies every day without being afraid.

Being told that it was broken, I had no choice but to lift the quilt by myself and sit up from the bed.

There was an old woman standing by the bed, just like what I saw during the day, with disheveled white hair, hunched over, leaning on crutches, wearing ragged clothes, and the clothes were covered with colorful patches.At this time, he was staring at me with a pair of eyes.

Her body looks very weak, but the look of these eyes is very sharp.Even I can see two beams of light coming out of her eyes.It seems to be able to see through my heart, which is daunting.

I didn't dare to meet her eyes, so I quickly looked to the side.

As a result, I saw the mummy whose quilt I lifted off again, and couldn't help shivering again.

Wang Po spoke at this moment: "What? Grandson of Shoushan, are you so timid? Are you afraid of a corpse?"

"His...his chest..." I pointed to the mummy's chest, which could still be seen rising and falling slightly.

Not only that, but when I looked at the other corpses, the chests of those corpses covered with sheets, I could also see the sheets undulating slightly.Obviously all the corpses here are like this, how can they breathe?
"Don't worry. They are all dead, but the corpse gas in their bodies is sealed inside. Now their corpses are just a skin bag, and the corpse gas travels inside, and you will naturally see the chest moving." Wang Po explained .

"Why do you need to seal the corpse gas in your body?"

"There are so many corpses, if the corpse gas is released. The corpse gas will not be scattered outside the village, and they will all gather in the village. Will the people in the village still be alive?"

Wang Po patiently explained to me, and from her tone, it gave me a sense of security and trust.

Wang Po gave me a completely different feeling from that Xu Meilu, Xu Meilu looked kindly, but she was targeting me everywhere, and her actions did not match her appearance at all.But Wang Po is different, although she looks bad, but whether it is the tone of speech or the way she feels, it will make you believe her from the heart.

This is a feeling that can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words. I have this feeling.

Wang Po went on to say: "My place is very safe now, as long as you return to your residence before dawn tomorrow. They dare not enter your yard, so as long as you don't admit that you have come out, nothing will happen."

"But... Senior, among them, it seems that some of them know that I have come out and are hiding here." I didn't know how to address Wang Po, so I called Senior according to the title of Jianghu.

Wang Po waved her hand: "Your grandfather and I are not a few years apart. You can just call me Grandma Wang. Those people are at odds with each other and have their own secrets. As long as you don't let the five of them find out together, it should be fine."

"Oh, Grandma Wang, why is everyone in this village surnamed Xu, but your surname is Wang? Are there any people with other surnames in this village?"

Knowing that I am safe now, I am no longer nervous, so I raised all the questions in my heart.

Wang Po pointed to the corpses: "It's not because of this, people from the Xu family would not do such dirty work. This is why they can still give me some face. Without me, no one will take care of these corpses. I'm afraid something big will happen."

I thought of the mummified monkey in the altar at the door, and knew that caring for the corpse was easy to say, but in fact there must be many ways and sayings.

Wang Po took out a few steamed buns from the basket and handed them to me: "Are you hungry? You should eat as little as possible of the rice they invite you to eat."

It really made Wang Po say that I didn't try to eat these few meals as little as possible, but that I couldn't eat them at all.This group of people started to eat like wind and clouds, and the fat man and I couldn't even eat a quarter of our meals.
