Kowloon coffin

Chapter 12 Who Should I Trust?

Chen De appeared in front of me like a ghost without any sound.

I wiped my tears, thinking I could hold back my tears, but the tears kept falling down.

"Just send someone to carry it up the mountain."

"Then call someone!"

Chen De seems to be more concerned about this matter than I am. It is a bit unreasonable for an outsider to care so much about my father.

"I'll ask my uncle to call for someone." I went back to the house, just as I was about to ask my uncle to call for someone, when it rained heavily outside.

Doesn't even God want us to bury our father?

I thought about it, and decided to call the policewoman, because now she is the only one who can save our lives.

"Fool, you don't even know you've been cheated. If your father is buried, it will be even harder to get his soul back."

After I told the policewoman about this, she scolded me again without any surprise.

I feel like a fool, being played by others. I don't know who is telling the truth about what Chen De and the policewoman said. I'm afraid of making a wrong step.

"Before dark, you must keep an eye on your father's body. I'll come over after work."

Before I could open my mouth, the policewoman hung up the phone, which happens every time.

Anyway, it's raining outside now, so there's no way to bury my father, so just wait.

My uncle and my aunt stayed with me all afternoon. When it was getting dark, my aunt asked me to go to her house for dinner. I was afraid that something bad would happen if I walked away, so I refused her.

As a result, my uncle and mother brought me over by myself. After dinner, it was dark.

Chen De, who disappeared all afternoon, reappeared again, at the same time as the policewoman.

"Nothing unusual today, right?" The policewoman asked about today's situation as soon as she came in.

"No."

"It's fine if you don't have one. I can light up the sky lantern later to find your father's ghost."

The policewoman walked to the sofa and sat down, and said with a tired face, "Is there anything to eat?"

I nodded and shook my head again.

The policewoman looked at me sharply, "Is there any?"

"Yes, but I won't do it."

Speaking of which, I have never been in a kitchen since I was a child. The only thing I know is cooking instant noodles.

"The instant noodles should be cooked, right?"

"meeting."

Afterwards, I cooked a bowl of instant noodles for the policewoman, and by the time she finished eating, it was past eight o'clock, and the rain outside had stopped by now.

The policewoman asked me to give her the Kongming lanterns and candles I bought in the morning, and she wrote my dad's birthday on the Kongming lanterns, and then took them to the yard and let them fly.

"Let's follow the Kongming lantern, it can lead us to your father's ghost."

"If we all leave, what will my dad do?"

The policewoman glanced at Chen De, "Let him keep it, by the way, you will light three incense sticks in front of his father's coffin later."

That's all there is to it for now.

"Uncle De, please."

After finishing speaking, the policewoman and I went to chase the Kongming Lantern.

The Kongming Lantern flew a little fast at the beginning, and we basically trotted after it, until it floated to the mountain behind our village, and then it slowed down.

To tell the truth, it must be a lie to say that you are not afraid at all when you go into the mountains at night.

The policewoman didn't seem to be scared at all, she slid into the mountain, no matter how scared I was, I had no choice but to follow.

Because of the rain, the road was a bit slippery, so I walked a little slowly.

The policewoman probably thought I was walking too slowly, and urged, "Can't you walk faster?"

"Sister, the road is so slippery, what if I fall, will you carry me?" I retorted.

The policewoman said helplessly, "If you dawdle any longer, you won't be able to keep up with the Kongming Lantern."

I looked up and saw that the Kongming Lantern was far away from us, so I immediately speeded up and walked in the direction of the Kongming Lantern.

After following all the way, my shoes and trousers were wet, because there was no road at all behind the Kongming lanterns, it was full of weeds.

In fact, I quite admire the policewoman. Although she is a monster catcher, she is still a girl. In this environment, it is okay to complain, but she is braver than me.

Fortunately, the Kongming Lantern did not torment us too much in the end, and stopped above an open space.

I thought there was nothing in this open space, but after a closer look, I found a grave.

"If there is something strange, there is nothing strange."

I bowed to the grave, then turned around and asked the policewoman, "Where is my dad?"

The policewoman hissed and signaled me not to speak.

I closed my mouth obediently, and when I calmed down, I seemed to hear a whirring sound, a bit like a sleeping cat snoring, but much louder than that.

Could it be that there are beasts?
Just as I was guessing, there was a rustling sound from the grass next to me, as if something was moving, and the sound was getting closer.

I swallowed my saliva and said in a low voice, "Sister, I have something."

The policewoman squinted her eyes, leaned over and lifted up her trousers, pulled out the dagger hidden on her calf, and quickly threw the dagger into the grass. There was only a squeak, and then there was no movement.

"Damn it, amazing!"

I have lived for so long, and this is the first time I have seen such a powerful woman.

If she can be my master, I think I can walk sideways.

"Go get my dagger back."

"Okay!" I took the flashlight and ran to pick up the dagger.

Turning over the grass, I found that it was a rabbit, and the dagger was just stuck in its head.

Such a cute rabbit just died like this.

When I pulled the dagger out of the rabbit, a puff of white smoke suddenly came out of it, and I quickly called the policewoman.

"Sister, look at what this is."

"This is your father's ghost!"

I was taken aback for a moment, and when I looked again, the white smoke had already floated into the sky. I was so anxious to reach out to grab it, but I couldn't catch anything.

At this time, the female policeman came over, and at some point in her hand, there was a gourd with a spell printed on it. She held the gourd and said something in her mouth, and the white smoke was collected into the gourd.

"Is this really my dad?"

"Your father is too weak now, and he can't do anything. I'll put him in the gourd for the time being. Okay, let's go back."

By the time we got home, it was already late at night.

I was wet all over, and as soon as I got home, I went to take a shower.

Halfway through the shower, the policewoman knocked on the door suddenly.

"I put the gourd in front of your father's coffin. I'll go back first, and come back tomorrow morning to deal with the rest."

"Okay." I replied, and soon there was no movement outside the door.

Immediately after the shower, I went to the living room to make sure the gourd was in front of my father's coffin.

Only then did I realize that Chen De had disappeared again.

When he came back just now, he was still there.

He is always elusive, so I have to doubt his identity.

I sat on the sofa until midnight, and finally I was so sleepy that I went to bed.

The next morning, when I woke up, I went downstairs immediately.

Walking to the living room, I saw Chen De standing in front of my father's coffin, playing with a gourd.

I hurried over and snatched the gourd from his hand, "You can't play with this, my dad is in it."

Chen De smiled and said, "Are you sure your dad is inside?"

"Sure, I saw her take my dad in with my own eyes." I said with certainty.

"Your father has already been transferred to other places by him. If you don't believe me, just open it and have a look." Chen De's expression was a little serious.

I looked at him suspiciously, and when I was hesitating whether to open it, the policewoman walked in.

She saw me holding the gourd, walked over quickly, took the gourd away, opened it, looked at it, and said solemnly: "Your father is gone."

Hearing this, my heart sank suddenly. I had to go to great lengths to find my dad, but now he says he's gone. Is this acceptable?
I suspected Chen De at the first time, because he was the only one who touched the gourd during this period, and my anger suddenly overwhelmed my reason, I rushed over, grabbed Chen De's collar, and asked loudly: "Why did you do this? "

Chen De still had an innocent expression, "What did I do?"

"Ask what you know!" Seeing that he refused to admit it, I became more and more annoyed, and I punched him in the face uncontrollably.

This punch directly caused Chen De's nose to bleed.

Chen De covered his nose and said disappointedly: "Little raccoon, you let me down so much."

I don't know why, but I feel that the tone of his speech just now is a bit like my grandfather.

It should be an illusion.

"If it's to blame, it's because you touched something you shouldn't."

Chen De didn't make any excuses, turned around and left.

It's okay to leave!

After I calmed down, I asked the policewoman what to do.

The policewoman shook her head and said, "There's nothing you can do. Your father is already weak. I put him in the gourd just to keep his soul. Once he leaves the gourd, he will..."

What will happen, the policewoman didn't say it clearly, and I know it too.

"Damn it." I slammed my fist against the wall.

After working so hard for so long, it was all in vain in the end.

Why is this happening?

"Things have already happened. It's useless for you to be angry again. Hurry up and bury your father so that you can find your mother."

The policewoman really doesn't care about my emotions at all, sometimes I feel like she moves like an emotionless animal.

But she was right, everything had already happened, and it was useless no matter what.

"My mother is still alive?"

"That monster has taken over your mother's body, I guess it will do something to her for a while, but I want to tell you some bad news, that monster has already left here."

For me, the news is not too bad, because at least so far, the mother is still alive.

I calmed down and asked, "Did my dad be killed by that evildoer?"

"if not."

The policewoman seemed to know everything, maybe because of her ability, I didn't have the slightest doubt about her words.

But what can I do if I know, what can I use to deal with that evildoer based on who I am now.

So I decided to go to the master to learn Taoism first.

"Thank you for helping me so much." I think it is necessary to say this thank you.

The policewoman smiled, "You don't need to thank me, the reason why I helped you is just to catch that evildoer."

Maybe, if this crime wasn't attached to my mother, how could the policewoman and I know each other?
