Coffin

An hour later, Rong Zheng and Bai Leshui arrived at the first floor of the hotel. As promised, the old mayor was already waiting there.

In addition to Rong Zheng and Bai Lexui, there were four people who claimed to be helping, the man in Room 3, and Angelina in Room 8. The appearance of the other two people was surprising. They turned out to be the young lovers in room 4.

The woman in the couple had vowed never to participate in this kind of thing before, but she unexpectedly came out. Although she looked a little scared, she didn't let go of her boyfriend's hand from beginning to end, but she still stood here firmly. After seeing Rong Zheng and Bai Leshui coming out, her eyes kept glancing at them, and occasionally glanced at the man in room 3. As for Angelina, obviously she already ignored her.

The mayor glanced at everyone: "Just you guys? Okay, that's enough." He turned around and walked out: "Follow me."

Angelina asked nervously: "Are you going to bury the person now?"

The old mayor replied in a deep voice: "We must prepare the coffin first."

Everyone followed the old mayor out of the hotel. It was already late at night. When they came, the town was dark. Don't know when, but they all hung up lanterns. A string of lanterns were hung on the door and walls of every house, although the lights are dim, it was no match against the large number, they actually really illuminate the dark path brightly.

The lighting of the lanterns is very good, but the color of the lanterns is wrong. Ordinary people hang lanterns, even if there is nothing festive, the lanterns they hang must be festive red. Unlike the lanterns here, they are all pale without any color. The town hung a string of them, it looked like the whole town was having a funeral.

"Will the lanterns be hung every night ma?" Rong Zheng asked.

Everyone quietly waited for the old mayor's answer.

The old mayor asked: "You mean those lighting lamps? They are hung every day."

Rong Zheng stopped asking, already having some guesses in his mind.

Angelina felt a little anxious. She also hoped that this person would ask why it was a white lantern, who would though he retreat and no longer asked. She wants to ask but isn't that bold, so she had to hold in.

The man in the young couple didn't think too much and asked directly: "Why is it white? It's too ominous ba."

The mayor stopped walking.

Angelina was startled and quietly took two steps back, ready to escape at any time.

Unexpectedly, the mayor only stopped for a moment, then continued forward and answered the boy's question: "Auspicious? Ominous? Young man, superstitious are intolerable a."

Everyone:...

Are you talking about superstition with me in this obviously abnormal copy? ? ?

The mayor said: "The town is poor, no money, and cannot afford electricity. We can only use lanterns for lighting at night. White paper is cheaper than red paper. We made all those lanterns with paper."

Bai Leshui tilted his head and looked at the lanterns. Sure enough, some were large and some were small, and the shapes were not uniform. They were immature handmade products.

However, if you use candlelight lanterns at night, aren't you afraid of catching fire ma?

Thinking of this, Bai Leshui suddenly discovered that there was no wind at all in this town, and the hanging lanterns did not sway at all, so there was an open fire, not even a little thing happened.

Bai Leshui turned his head stiffly and continued walking forward.

He knew nothing, perceived nothing. Well, that's it.

The old mayor took them outside the town, and walked about a hundred meters. Because there were not many houses around, there was no light, but the moon was very bright today, it was not so dark that they could not see the road at all. The group of people stumbled along like this.

After walking for who knows how far, they came to a small room. This house was very strange. Not only did it not reside in the town, but it was outside the town some distance away. The lanterns hanging at the door were also red, there is also a little bit of white stuff on the ground that don't know what it is, and there was a piece of yellow paper pasted to the door frame. However, it was too dark to see what was on the yellow paper.

The old mayor stood five meters away from the door, tapped the ground with his cane and shouted: "Old Yun a, time to work."

There was a lot of messy noises in the room, as if a person got up and wanted to come over, but accidentally bumped into many things. After waiting for a while, the door opened. The people in the room looked outside warily through a thin crack in the door: "Who?"

This man is also very old, his voice is full of vicissitudes of life.

The old mayor said: "Me, the mayor."

"Who else is behind you?"

The old mayor replied: "They are guests from the train."

"Well, I understand... what's the matter, speak ba." The person in the room still didn't open the door and asked through a crack.

The old mayor said: "Help make a coffin."

There was doubt in the man's voice: "Coffin? Who uses it?"

Old mayor: "There was a suicide on the train. The body needs help to be buried when it is brought here."

"Oh. Isn't it fine to just wrap it up in a straw mat ma. So much demand." The man said impatiently, "I'm different from you. Very tired, need to rest."

Seeing that the door was about to close, the old mayor stopped. He raised his foot to take a step forward, but stopped in mid-air, as if he was afraid of something and shrank back. He just kept tapping his cane: "Even let you do a little work make you unwilling, did you forget when you fell into misfortune back then, who rescued you back ma?"

"It was your father who rescued me, not you." The door opened again, showing the familiar crack, "You only gave me two buns, don't use this in exchange for favors."

The old mayor was so angry that he was speechless.

The person inside the door thought for a while and said, "That's all, I'll help you once. Coffin, right ma, is it good normal size ma?"

Old mayor: "Good."

"Pick it up in two hours." The person at the door said, "I've helped you, just restrain those guys and don't bother me. Recently, the rice has even been less."

The old mayor: "I understand." After speaking, he said to the people behind him: "I'll ask you to pick up the coffin in two hours. Don't worry, he will be put on the cart, you can just push it over."

Rong Zheng: "Is this the only thing to helps ma?"

The old mayor shook his head: "How is that possible? There are a lot of things to be busy with. We also have to prepare sacrifices, burial clothes and so on. Those are all necessary for funerals. Young people nowadays a, all don't value these anymore. But here we still pay great attention to customs. Next, you have to run errands for me, go to the clothing store to buy a burial cloth, and go to the shop to buy some fruits. In two hours, take the coffin and things with you and wait for me in the woods on the west side of the town. "

After the old mayor said those few words, he walked straight into the town. It seemed that he just brought them here because the coffin maker lived too far away, so he took them this time.

"Wait, where are the clothing store and shop?" Angelina asked.

The old mayor didn't even look back: "Just in the town, go find it yourself." After saying that, the figure disappeared into the darkness.

The woman in the young couple curled her lips: "Can't he just take us there by the way ma?"

No one answered, her boyfriend touched his arm: "It's a bit cold. Anyway, let's go back to the town first ba. I always think it's weird here."

"Oh. Then go back ba." The girl answered.

The group of people left, no one saw that the door of the small house behind them opened a crack again, the eyes of the person inside stared at their backs through the crack of the door.

It was not quiet on the way back. Several people were discussing where to go.

"It's more efficient to go separately than to go together." The woman in the couple suggested, "What do you think if we go in two groups?"

Angelina thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "It's possible, who will go with whom?"

"I'm not going." The man in room 3 suddenly spoke, everyone shut up and looked at him quietly.

"My work is done." The man in Room 3 continued, "You decide for yourself, I'm leaving." He seemed to be talking to himself, after finishing speaking, he didn't wait for anyone to reply and walked forward unsteadily.

The man in the young couple asked: "Then what are you comming here for?"

Man No. 3 turned his head and smiled mischievously: "Say hello."

Angelina shivered. Watching the man disappear into the dusk.

"Let's leave him alone." Angelina tried her best to hold back the expression of fear and disgust. Originally, this person's identity as a non-human was almost exposed to the players. Angelina was quite panicked when she saw him appearing in the team. She felt relieved when the other party simply quit.

"But now we are five people." The woman in the young couple hugged her boyfriend's arm tightly, "Darling and I will never be separated. Which one of you will be a group with us?" Although she said this, her eyes glanced at Rong Zheng and Bai Leshui from time to time, didn't even gave a look at Angelina.

Angelina: "I'm in your group."

The woman in the young couple, Wen Ji, finally reacted and looked at Angelina.

She didn't want to participate in this activity. After all, burying corpses was scary at first sight. The persona she had arranged for herself was that of a clingy girlfriend who loved to act coquettishly. Naturally, she shouldn't be interested in such things. However, the additional clearance option was there, and knowing that the two people in Box 1 and Box 5 might participate, no matter how disgusting it was, she dragged her boyfriend (NPC) out.

Take this opportunity to get closer and see if she can find something fishy. If not then just eliminated them all. There will always have a succeful gamble.

The fugitive who can kill his brother is most likely to be a man, and Angelina, a woman whose identity has long been exposed. She is a famous actress, and has been excluded from her target early on, so Wen Ji didn't pay attention to her from the beginning.

Unexpectedly, the person she had always ignored suddenly jumped out to make her presence felt.

"Huh? But I hope a boy can help." Wen Ji said, "Because my boyfriend has not been very energetic recently, it would be more convenient for a man with a little more strength to help."

Angelina who was rejected miserably:...

She had only been rejected by Rong Zheng and the others before, so she didn't dare to follow them this time, for fear of being thrown away again halfway. To be honest, it hyper-difficult to muddle wlen alone. She had no choice but to form a temporary team with this young couple. Regardless of whether they are players or NPCs, there will be no task conflict, no whatever danger.

Unexpectedly, she was rejected for the second time.

Why is she, a beautiful woman, so annoying ne? Wherever she goes, no one wants her?

The author has something to say:

Angelina: Coul it be it's the face that has a problem?

Not pretty enough?

Do you want to buy a beauty card ne.
