The rain fell violently, just as they had guessed before, it started to rain in the middle of the night, and accompanied by the strong wind.
The candle suddenly lit in the corner, reflecting Gu Huaiyu's facial features.
She glanced sideways at the door, the door was blowing, but someone was still asleep.
She walked quickly to the edge of the coffin and slammed at Meng Xiaotao, who was still sleeping soundly.
Meng Xiaotao felt a burning hot on her face, and then woke up in confusion.
"Huh? What's wrong with Boss Gu?" Her voice was vague, and she didn't seem to be awake yet.
Gu Huaiyu was not polite, and patted her face, "Wake up and sleep again and wait for someone to be sold."
Meng Xiaotao immediately sat up, "Who wants to sell me?!"
Gu Huaiyu said, "I'll sell you in a while."
Meng Xiaotao was a little aggrieved, bargaining, and said, "Can you not sell me?"
Gu Huaiyu said, "No, I brought you here all the way, not to make you cheap."
Meng Xiaotao had to slowly crawl out of the coffin, "Okay, I will sell it more expensive."
When Gu Huaiyu saw this, she also laughed angrily, and came at her head.
"Are you awake now?" she asked.
Meng Xiaotao was shocked. He woke up from the state of confusion, and laughed twice, "Boss Gu, I was joking just now, how could you sell me."
Without saying anything, Gu Huaiyu put a windproof and rainproof candle in her hand, and put an umbrella in her hand.
"Okay, take these things and call the anchor's name while walking, and then walk back to the village entrance." Gu Huaiyu said.
Meng Xiaotao asked, "Is it to make his soul follow me back?"
Gu Huaiyu hummed, "If he doesn't die, he will come back."
"Then what if it's not dead?"
"If you don't die, there will be other things coming back."
"… what?"
Gu Huaiyu gave her a meaningful look, and didn't say what it was. He asked her to go out for a stroll while it was still raining.
Meng Xiaotao, who was still in a trance, was blown by the rain and wind, and then completely woke up, and asked what the anchor's name was before leaving.
Gu Huaiyu was silent for a while and said, "Zhang Baozi."
"steamed stuffed bun?"
"… Um."
"Okay." Meng Xiaotao nodded obediently, and went out with the things.
In the wind and rain, he walked with the glass lamp and called Zhang Baozi's name, without turning his head halfway.
When she walked to the entrance of the village, she suddenly felt something sticky behind her, and she could smell the smell of mud on the tip of her nose.
Meng Xiaotao's heart was clear, and she licked the corners of her lips nervously, then stabilized her figure, and every step was steady when she walked back.
Just like that, he walked steadily back to the house emitting a warm yellowish light.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door, then whispered, "I'm back."
Then came the sound of locks falling, and the sound of wooden doors rubbing.
The closed door opened, and some rain water hit the door, making the door wet a lot.
Meng Xiaotao whispered, "Boss Gu, I'm back."
Gu Huaiyu gave a hum, but looked through her figure and looked at the thing that followed her back.
That should only be called something, because there is no human form at all, just like the shape of a pool of fleshy mud, unconsciously followed back here.
It's just because I heard a familiar name.
Meng Xiaotao looked at Gu Huaiyu nervously, and whispered, "Boss Gu, has he followed?"
Gu Huaiyu raised his hand to stop her from speaking, then pulled out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket, whispered in his mouth, and finally the talisman paper ignited spontaneously.
Finally the talisman flew behind Meng Xiaotao, illuminating the things behind her.
Those souls who imitated and did not know where to return in the uninhabited village seemed to have regained consciousness briefly. They looked up at the glowing talisman, and after making a gesture of thanks to Gu Huaiyu, they followed the direction of the talisman. went.
After confirming that all the souls would leave, Gu Huaiyu let Meng Xiaotao in.
"Zhang Baozi did not appear." Gu Huaiyu said, "There are only two possibilities, one is that his soul is gone, and the other is that he is not dead."
Only these two possibilities can explain why the soul of the other party did not appear, but the people who died in the uninhabited village followed back.
Meng Xiaotao seemed to have thought of these two possibilities, and asked, "Then where should we find him?"
Gu Huaiyu thought for a while, "Don't worry, the other party should appear later."
"Who?"
Gu Huaiyu smiled, "The man who prepared all these things."
Meng Xiaotao let out a cry. She wanted to sit down at random when she found a spot, but she was pushed a bit by Gu Huaiyu and pointed to the coffin.
She understood immediately, and honestly crawled back into the coffin, and poked her head out to see if Boss Gu had entered.
Gu Huaiyu moved directly into the coffin with a quick gesture, and then blew out the only candle in the house.
"As soon as you hear any noise, don't make any movement, just as if you are asleep." Gu Huaiyu said.
Meng Xiaotao nodded obediently, saying that no matter what sound she heard, she would not run out to see.
Gu Huaiyu's chuckle came out in the darkness, making Meng Xiaotao feel a little guilty.
In the end, I had to really close my eyes and pretend to sleep.
Maybe I pretended to sleep for too long, and actually fell asleep without knowing it.
In the daze, she seemed to hear a sharp voice saying something, and the things lying under her swayed, making her sleep uncomfortable.
I couldn't help but mumbled, "Don't make a noise, I want to sleep."
After she finished speaking, the shaking felt a lot lighter, as if she was afraid of waking her up.
Shaking around, Meng Xiaotao suddenly became sober, and said silently, "Fuck!"
I just wanted to do something, but I quickly remembered what Boss Gu said before, and finally stopped abruptly.
Ears stood up, listening quietly to the movement outside the coffin.
Unexpectedly, she did not hear the footsteps, silently, as if something without feet was carrying the coffin on which she was lying.
I can only vaguely hear someone deliberately suppressing their voice.
"Be gentle, wake up people, and you will be good-looking at that time." The person's voice was a bit too high-pitched, and it sounded like the tone of an ancient eunuch.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Xiaotao felt that the swaying amplitude of the coffin she was lying on was obviously smaller.
In an instant, the whole person's mood became a little complicated. She thought to herself, it's really not easy to work part-time now, it's quite caring...
The big red sedan chair, oh no, the big red coffin shook and shook. After a while, it reached the destination and stopped.
