smuggler

Chapter 4
When I woke up, I felt top-heavy, my body was weak, and my whole body was cold.

When I moved my thigh, I felt tearing pain, and the place was sticky and sticky. When I put on clothes, I found circles of red on my body, as if I had been strangled by something.

What makes me even more terrified is that there is a layer of pale, dry mucus on the red place...

"Yaoyao, go burn some paper and give your grandma a ride." As soon as I came out of the room, my aunt leaned over and whispered to me.

I glanced over and saw that she was a bit unnatural, but didn't think much of it.

My grandma is my only relative in the world. Now that she has passed away, I will burn paper for her in mourning, and I should send her off for the last time.

But the strange thing is that I was burning joss paper next to the coffin, no matter how I lit it, it couldn't ignite. After finally burning the paper money, there was a sudden gust of wind in the room.

The freshly burnt paper money was flying all over the sky from the dark wind that rose out of nowhere, and my heart arose immediately.

Xiao Chunniang standing at the door of the main room didn't know what was going on, she screamed in fright and ran outside, as if she had seen a ghost.

Her eyes widened and her mouth yelled in horror, alive, alive.

I was frightened at the time. I stood up from the ground and looked up to see the corpse of my grandma lying in the coffin.

I don't know if it was because of the gust of wind just now, the inverted paper covering the face was blown over, and I saw that the grandmother's haggard and slightly curved corpse was covered with a layer of gray skin at some point.

That layer of skin was mottled and peeled off, and looked closely like the skin of a snake. Through the flesh under the molted skin, one could still see patches of black snake scales covering the limbs.

What's even more frightening is that her eyes opened at some point, and I just happened to meet her eyes, which are as thin as silk, like snake eyes, and just one glance makes one's hair stand on end.

I just felt my legs go limp, and I almost knelt down.

"grandmother!"

I called out, but I was also afraid to step forward rashly.

Guilt and fear rose in my heart, and suddenly, I saw my grandma's body tremble violently.

"The corpse is cheated, the corpse is cheated!"

The neighbors who were watching the night screamed and crawled out of the house in a shitty manner.

rustling—

Suddenly, there was a slight abnormal noise from inside the coffin, and the group of people around became even more agitated and retreated far away.

When I looked up, I saw some thumb-sized, dark and slender things coming out of grandma's clothes swinging strips.

These black and slender things fell from the coffin to the ground, causing the villagers outside the courtyard to howl in panic.

"What is this? A centipede?"

I could see clearly that these things coming out of grandma's body were not centipedes at all.

It was a black snake the size of an earthworm.

Grandma's body shook several times suddenly, her whole body twitched, the dead skin covering her body fell off like snake skin, and a strong stench came over her.

The smell of snakes was so strong that even the villagers outside the courtyard could smell it, and some people started to vomit for a while.

I froze in place, at a loss, and there were more and more little black snakes.

There was a commotion around me, but my eyes were a little dazed.

"Grandma Bai Yao must have provoked something unclean, and she has suffered retribution."

"Hurry up, you guys forgot how Bai Jianshan died."

"Just set it on fire, and keep it for fear that it will become a disaster and implicate us."

The villagers were agitated. Seeing my grandma's death so evil, there was a lot of discussion. At the same time, some people worried that something would happen to the villagers and threatened to burn the place directly.

There was a lot of noise in my ears, and my whole body was trembling. I took a hoe from the side of the door and blocked a few out-of-control villagers.

At this moment, the tiny black snakes got out of the coffin and scattered in all directions, some of them twisted and came towards the gate of the courtyard.

This scene frightened the restless villagers to panic, screaming and running away.

In the blink of an eye, the huge courtyard became dead silent, and the courtyard was full of mess.

I stood there blankly, a little absent-minded, my body trembling slightly, and it took a long time before I gradually recovered.

After being dazed for a while, the main room also became silent, and the little black snakes that came out of grandma's body disappeared in a short time.

When the second uncle from the village came in a coat, he saw the messy yard and asked, "Yaoyao, what's wrong with your grandma?"

"Of course it's retribution..."

Suddenly a harsh female voice came from outside the courtyard door. I looked up and saw that the person who came was Shu Erniang, the wife of Butcher Wang from the village.

The second uncle said gloomyly: "Where is the retribution!"

Shu Erniang sneered contemptuously and said, "Who in the village doesn't know how Bai Jianshan died, did he suffer retribution?"

I frowned and said disgustedly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shu Erniang deliberately came to find fault at this time, and naturally there was a reason.

She is a matchmaker in the village. Two years ago, the Zhou family in the neighboring village gave her a large sum of money and asked her to come to my house as a matchmaker, and wanted me to pass the Zhou family's threshold.

I came several times in a row, and every time my grandma refused politely, and finally took the trouble to not let her enter the courtyard.

She couldn't get the money, so she was so angry that she pinched her waist and sweared outside the courtyard gate, swearing all kinds of vicious words.

Although I don't know her face, judging from her sharp face and small eyes, it doesn't feel like a fuel-efficient lamp.

"It's the fault of your Bai family for doing all the bad things. In the end, you were punished by God. Now you deserve to die!"

Shu Erniang walked into the courtyard door knocking melon seeds, but she was not afraid of grandma's miserable appearance at all.

I was so angry that my teeth itched, I wished I could pounce on that stinky mouth and tear it apart.

"The dead are the greatest, so don't make sarcastic remarks here!" Second Uncle said.

Shu Erniang gathered the clothes on her body, glanced up and down at me, and said with a trembling smile, "Bai Yao, now that your grandma is dead, it's lonely to be alone in the future. Auntie wants to find you someone It’s a good place to go, you have to think about it in your heart.”

Grandma's bones are still cold, and this bitch is actually a matchmaker in the mourning hall, I am so angry that I tremble all over.

The aunt who has always been mild-tempered was about to pick up the broom at the door: "Get out, get out!"

Shu Erniang changed her face, and she didn't want to continue entanglement, she snorted coldly, twisted her waist and left.

The second uncle looked back at the mourning hall, with a slightly panicked expression on his face.

At this time, someone shouted "Here comes Immortal Zhang", and everyone looked out the door one after another, only to see a thin old man with a straight eyebrow and splayed legs staggering into the door.

Zhang Xianren is the most well-known god-man in ten miles and eight townships here. He can do anything he can't do when he is fierce, but his personality is a bit weird.

However, due to his high seniority and his ability to ask copper, he is deeply respected by the villagers.

It is estimated that he was called over just after eating. Zhang Xianren hiccupped when he entered the mourning hall, walked around the hall, and took out a compass from his body. As soon as he took it out, he sneered and turned, and finally pointed to grandma remains.

We were all dumbfounded, Zhang Xianren rubbed his head and muttered in surprise: "Stop me!"
