A white spirit flag and a black coffin. Compared to the black and white, it was extremely eye-catching. It was hard not to see it. However, the people in the village acted as if they were used to seeing this. They continued doing what they were doing and didn't even glance at the funeral procession.
A few children who were playing in the street, chasing each other, ran into the funeral procession. As for the team, they only paused for a short moment before continuing forward.
I looked at my portrait, confused. The sudden appearance of my portrait in a place that isn't even human. What does that mean? Where did this funeral procession come from? What did their presence suggest? Who ordered them to come here?
Countless questions flashed through my mind, but none of them had an answer.
Little Tang Wei suddenly patted my shoulder and said, "What's wrong?"
I turned to see her face full of concern and worry.
I smiled bitterly. "What can I do?" "I was startled."
Little Tang Wei looked at me in bewilderment. "You were scared by who?"
I pointed at the funeral procession that was getting closer and closer. "My portrait," I said.
Little Tang Wei's face instantly paled. "Your portrait? Where is it? "
I realized something was wrong, so I slowly raised my hand and pointed. "Didn't you see?" The funeral procession. "
Little Tang Wei began to tremble: "Where's the funeral procession? I can't see anything. "
My head thumped. I finally understand, no wonder the villagers here are so indifferent, they can't see it at all.
I don't know them. They only felt that their appearances were very strange. They were all staring at me, causing my scalp to go numb.
"Who are you?" I ventured to ask.
All of them opened their mouths at the same time and let out a long sound from their throats, "Hu …" Beginning... Nine... "Ahh!"
I screamed out in fear and jumped up from the ground, dragging Little Tang Wei with me as I ran.
Little Tang Wei didn't even know what happened and was still shouting behind me. I didn't have time to explain, I only knew that I had to run for my life.
I ran about a hundred meters before I dared to look back. I saw that the funeral procession was still in the same rhythm as before, walking towards me step by step.
My heart sank. Were these people following me? Their speed was indeed not fast, but if they kept on walking like this, could it be that I would have to run to the ends of the world?
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'd rather have a mental illness of my own."
Little Tang Wei took a deep breath: "When we go back, I'll send you to psychiatric hospital for treatment."
I sighed. "I hope we still have a chance to get out."
The funeral procession is getting closer and closer. I wanted to bring Little Tang Wei forward, but she refused.
She told me, "King Kong from the temple is waiting for us outside the village. He's been on me, I can feel him. "
When I heard this, I became even more desperate. Could it be that I have no choice but to stay in this village and chase after the funeral procession?
Later, we chose a relatively independent house and began to lead the funeral procession around it. This kind of behavior was ridiculous.
Little Tang Wei was already tired from walking, not physically, but mentally. She asked me, "What the hell is going on? Can you tell me more about it? "
I told him about the funeral procession, their clothes, their expressions, their appearances, and so on. Then he told her that this group of evil people had been following me since the beginning.
After Little Tang Wei finished listening, she immediately stopped.
I looked at her, puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Little Tang Wei said, "The funeral procession is following you, not me. I can't see them anyway, why are you running around blindly? Aren't you tired? "
As I gaped, Little Tang Wei sat on a rock by the side of the road. I carefully thought about what she had said. What she had said made a lot of sense, and I couldn't refute her words at all.
Seeing that the funeral procession was back, I had to move on.
At this time, when he looked back at the Little Tang Wei, he would see a very strange sight. She sat on the side of the road and looked around blankly. Beside her, there were more than ten people wearing white clothes and holding white banners, slowly walking over while scattering paper money …
I don't know how long I've been walking, but I feel I can't go on. If I continue to be tortured by the funeral procession behind me, I'll go crazy.
So I began to think.
Why are they following me? Is it because of my image? If I throw it away, won't I be okay?
Due to my wild thoughts, my pace slowed down a bit. The funeral procession got closer and closer to me, and then they all simultaneously said, "Hu …." Beginning... Nine... "Ahh!"
The voice was ghastly and sinister, causing one to shudder in fear. I shivered, trying to get away from them. But right after, I suddenly had a thought.
I turned quickly and stared at the funeral procession. They were getting closer and closer to me. They were already in front of me, but I didn't run away anymore.
I had a thought: "Let's bet. If I win, I'll live."
The funeral procession stopped in front of me. The man with the portrait slowly walked over and handed it forward.
I took the portrait and walked to the center of the line. The man with the banner was obviously waiting for me, so I walked up behind him.
That person raised his banner and strode forward. I held the portrait and followed behind him. Then the coffin bearers, the paper moneysssssssssssssssssssssss, ssssssssssssssss.
When the Little Tang Wei saw me holding onto it with both hands and walking forward slowly, she asked me, "What happened to you?"
I said, "I'm going to follow these guys."
Actually, Little Tang Wei has always been skeptical about what I said, she seems to be more willing to believe that I have mental issues. She said to me, "What are you looking for?"
As I walked, I whispered, "None of these people seem to be alive."
I was silent for a moment before I replied, "They seem to be spiritualists."
Little Tang Wei was stunned: Spirit Summoning?
I replied, "When they come close to me, they would call my name in a strange manner. That sound is very much like the voice of our hometown's soul-stirring. Furthermore, look at them, they are all carrying tree branches on their backs. "
Little Tang Wei replied, "I can't see."
I said, "Oh, they carry sophora branches. The locust tree was a ghost among trees, and it was very dark. It is said that by carrying such a tree branch, one can summon souls for the dead. "
Little Tang Wei said, "So … You just followed them? What will they do if they send you to hell? "
I said, "I don't know, so I'm going to take a gamble. I feel that the odds of winning are higher. "
I dare to follow the funeral procession, not by courage, but by experience. Back at the cemetery, Xia Xin had used the back of a knife to pat my neck and take out my soul.
At that time, I also could not find my way back to the human world, but after that, I was buried in a coffin due to the Regeneration of the foster-grandpa. When I woke up again, I was already in the human world.
This, I suspect, is the way to the world.
This strange village. Birth is actually death, so is death the same as birth?
A moment later, we were at the outskirts of the village. There was a clearing, and the funeral procession set the coffin down, pulled out their shovels, and began to dig.
Little Tang Wei followed me all the way here. She asked me: "Why aren't you leaving anymore?"
I said, "I stopped. I was digging a grave."
Little Tang Wei looked at me with a puzzled expression.
Even though I am eighty percent sure that they are saving me, helping me call my soul. However, I still felt quite uncomfortable doing all this for the funeral. At least it was bad luck.
The coffin lid opened, and the man with the flag made a gesture of invitation. So I walked over to the coffin.
When I got to the coffin, I saw lines of blood-red letters inside. My name and my birth date.
I sighed and lay down in the coffin.
"He entered the coffin?" Little Tang Wei asked me.
In her opinion, I was probably lying on the ground.
At that moment, the mourner closed the lid of the coffin. My surroundings went dark, and then I couldn't see the Little Tang Wei anymore.
At this moment, I suddenly thought of something. If I really go out, what about Little Tang Wei?
I tried to climb out of the coffin, but the lid was already closed. I heard Little Tang Wei call me. "Hu Chujiu, Hu Chujiu?"
But the sound was getting smaller and smaller. I should have been buried.
"Hu Chujiu, Hu Chujiu?" Little Tang Wei has been calling me. After a while, her voice grew louder. I wondered: had she dug me out again?
Then the coffin was opened. When I opened my eyes, there was a bright light that blinded me for a moment.
"Hu Chujiu, Hu Chujiu?" This time, I heard it clearly. It wasn't Little Tang Wei's voice, but Xia Xin's voice.
I sat up in the coffin and asked blankly, "I'm alive?"
Xia Xin closed the flashlight and said, "I can't live, I just came back to the human world."
It was only then that I remembered that I had lost my physical body, and now I was just a ghost.
I got out of the coffin, looked back, and saw that the place where I had been lying was not a coffin at all, but a large box.
It was dark, but I could tell it was in a large room. There was a bed in the room, and many of the beds seemed to be still asleep.
I panicked and asked, "What kind of place is this?"
Xia Xin opened the flashlight and looked around: "You have been here before, this is the funeral parlor's mortuary."
