Sky coffin

The footsteps were so light that if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't hear them at all.

Tap tap tap...

Footsteps were approaching our room.

My nerves were tense and I looked at Hua Xiu lying next to me, only to find that Hua Xiu was not asleep like me. She opened her beautiful eyes and looked at me quietly.

I made a silence gesture to her. Hua Xiu nodded slightly, then closed her eyes.

At this moment, the footsteps stopped suddenly, and the last place where the footsteps appeared was by the window.

I hesitated and looked toward the window.

It didn't matter when I saw it, I was instantly startled and broke into a cold sweat.

An old, pale, wrinkled face was pressed tightly against the window frame.

It's the old man!

The old man's eyes were no different from those of a wild beast, cold and sinister but also full of desire for flesh and blood.

It’s as if we are not humans in his eyes, but food.

This reminds me of what the driver said before.

The people in this village will eat the extra food because they are hungry.

The old man stood quietly in front of the window, staring at us without blinking.

Fortunately, the old man's house is a dilapidated stilt building, and the windows are all carved out of wood, without glass.

And our location is just where the moonlight cannot be found.

So, he can't see me.

He didn't know how long he was stared at by the old man before he turned and left.

Listening to the direction in which the footsteps were leaving, the old man should have walked out of the stilted building.

Just when I was in shock, I suddenly felt someone tugging at the corner of my clothes.

I turned over suddenly and saw Zhang Shiyi looking at me seriously.

It seems that Zhang Shiyi is also wary of everything here.

He was worried that the old man had not gone far, so he said to me through lip language: "Be careful."

I nodded. I was destined to have no sleep tonight, but nothing strange happened.

I didn't hear the old man's footsteps coming back again.

The next day, just before dawn, there was a knock on the door.

I opened the door and saw the old man standing at the door with a smile on his face.

The old man now and the old man last night are completely different people. If he hadn't seen the scene last night, anyone would think that the old man in front of him was just a simple mountain village man.

"Young man, get up and eat."

I glanced at the old man and said, "Old man, we are from out of town, and we are not used to eating your food here. Let's eat some bread or something to cushion our meal."

The old man was stunned, grinned and said: "Okay, okay!"

Then he turned and left.

Watching the old man leave, I sneered at the corner of my mouth. How dare I eat the food he gave me?

Zhang Shiyi and I ate some snack bread and then walked out.

The old man was squatting outside smoking a dry cigarette. When he saw us coming out, he stood up and said, "Don't you want to find the corpse collector? I will take you there now."

"good."

We followed the old man, left the dilapidated stilted building, and came to the village.

The whole village was lifeless and very uncomfortable.

The villagers did not show any vigilance when facing uninvited guests like us. Instead, they greeted us warmly.

I nodded politely in response. On my way to an old turret, the old man quickened his pace, as if he was afraid of something.

This turret was supposed to be built to fight against bandits.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the turret and ran straight towards me.

I subconsciously took a few steps back and looked intently. When I saw the man's face clearly, I was stunned for a moment.

It turned out to be the Luohua Cave girl from last night!
