Chapter 646
"My child...the child is out of breath!"

Wen Po stumbled out of the carriage.

When I rushed over, Ding Guobang had already picked up the baby first.

And with sharp eyes, I found that there were bruises on the baby's nose and mouth.

Obviously, not left over from production.

Ding Guobang staggered, then knelt on the ground with a plop.

After a long time, Jin Ling's grief-stricken cries came.

……

At the town gate of Jieshou Town, Ding Guobang let me go.

For my reminder, he warned me not to speak nonsense.

But Jin Ling passed away because of the premature death of the baby, and never woke up.

When the carriage got farther and farther away from my sight, Caiwei lifted the curtain and poked her head out.

He beckoned and showed a weird smile.

until it disappeared from my sight.

Seeing that it was completely dark, I thought about finding an inn to rest.

But in the huge Jieshou Town, there is not a single inn.

Even when it was dark, the merchants on the side of the road closed their doors tightly.

Looking around, I finally saw a lighted yard at the west end of the town.

Walking over, just stepping into the yard, I saw the white banner leaning against the wall.

In the open wing room, there is a coffin.

A man was wearing sackcloth and filial piety, kneeling in front of the brazier to burn paper.

And on the altar in front, there are steamed buns in the shape of ingots specially dedicated to offering sacrifices to the deceased.

After hesitating for a moment, I went in and picked up the incense next to me and lit it.

Bye bye, put it on the incense burner.

The man didn't look up, but habitually bowed in my direction.

But the moment he raised his head, he froze.

"Girl, you are..."

"I'm passing by and want to stay overnight." I said hastily.

Hearing what I said, the man shook his head vigorously.

"No! No!"

"Brother, there is no inn here, and I have nowhere to go alone. Please let me sit in the yard overnight." Speaking of this, I softened my tone. "It's dark today, it's not safe outside."

"I'm even more unsafe here!" The man said this, looking around in panic. "To tell you the truth, I have... that!"

"Which one?"

"It's just...dirty things!" The man wiped his sweat when he said this.

"Are you... hit the spirit?"

When I said this, I involuntarily glanced at the coffin.

"It's our custom here to guard the spirit for seven days after the death of the elders. When I came here on the first day, I was fine. My relatives were all there, and all of them were so distraught that they ignored me. I don't care so much, because death It was my mother. I just knelt there, and when there were people, I kept burning papers when there were no one. But the next day, they didn’t come.”

"What's wrong?" I didn't hear anything unusual.

"The strange thing is, my mother is here!" The man's eyes widened, and the pupils tightened instantly. "Because of the funeral, I didn't sleep for a few days, so I lay there and fell asleep. Unexpectedly, I felt someone touching my face in the middle of the night. I squinted and saw my mother! She touched my face and didn't speak. I just let it go and cried. I didn’t dare to move, and stayed there until she left. I thought it was my mother entrusting it to me in a dream, but I didn’t expect to find that the steamed bun was half eaten the next day. It was my mother! My mother ate it! It must be !"

"Brother, don't get excited!"

"I'm not excited, I'm afraid!" The man said anxiously, "Girl, if you're really not afraid, you can stay here all night. But when my mother comes later, you must not talk to her. According to the elders Said that once you talk to Ling, she will stalk you."
