I looked at the flame in the bowl and broke out in a cold sweat. The flame was motionless at this moment, which probably meant that nothing unusual was found. If the flame moved, things might be bad. At this moment, I really had the urge to pretend to accidentally drop the bowl of water, but thinking that it would not help at all, I gave up the idea. I could only pray silently that this woman would not see the flaw.
Maybe my prayers worked, because after this circle, the flame in the water bowl remained motionless.
"Is your funeral home this big?" Jiang Chuhong's eyes were still scanning the house hidden in the darkness.
I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's only this big. We just walked here."
Jiang Chuhong didn't say anything. After a long while, she nodded and said, "The scenery is nice."
I felt relieved and took the opportunity to say, "We've all seen it, why don't we go back to the hall? Maybe they are waiting anxiously."
Jiang Chuhong glanced at me and said, "Who's waiting impatiently? Let them wait." But even though she said that, she turned around and left, heading towards the front hall .
I was overjoyed, thinking that I had finally gotten through this hurdle, so I ran a few steps and caught up with her. But after a few steps, the woman suddenly stopped, stretched out a finger, pointed to the southeast of the funeral home, and said, "What's that over there?"
When I saw the direction her finger was pointing, my heart skipped a beat, my hands trembled, and I almost dropped the bowl.
"It's nothing." I forced myself to calm down, glanced over there, and said, "Our funeral home is built in the wilderness. Apart from here, there are only some rocks and weeds around us." Damn, the direction that the woman just pointed to was not something else, but the location of the pigsty.
Damn, is this a coincidence or intentional? At that moment, my entire back was soaked with cold sweat.
"What's wrong with you, little boy? Why are you sweating all night?" Jiang Chuhong looked at me with a smile on her face. It seemed as if her eyes could see into my heart.
Damn it, I find that the prettier a woman is, the harder she is to deal with! I got goose bumps all over my body when she stared at me, so I could only say with a bitter face, "I don't know why, but I feel so scared when I walk with you. Aunt Jiang, you are so pretty and gentle, and I don't know what's wrong with me."
The woman looked at me deeply and said with a smile, "Little devil, why do you have so many problems? Come on, take me there to have a look."
Seeing that she was determined to go, I had no choice but to agree and took her to the gate. However, my heart felt like a drum was beating and I was terrified.
I opened the iron gate and walked a few steps out. I uttered an "ouch" and seemed to have suddenly remembered something. I said, "I was really confused just now. There is a pig house over there, which is used to raise pigs. It is dirty and smelly. Usually no one goes there. There is really nothing to see."
Jiang Chuhong glanced at me and said nothing.
"Hold the bowl steady." She walked straight toward the pig house. I followed her closely, staring at the flame in the bowl, afraid that it would move.
This pig sty is actually a very simple bungalow, which is said to be temporarily built by a muscular man. There were originally three pigs in it, but the second mother-in-law skinned one alive, but with the addition of the cow's nose, there were still three left.
As soon as he got closer, he could smell the stench of pigs and feces. Jiang Chuhong also frowned, obviously not used to this strange smell.
"It stinks in there, let's not go in." I took the opportunity to say from behind.
Jiang Chuhong shook her head, asked me to bring the bowl up, and walked in front. I went into the pigsty by the light of the fire, and saw three fat pigs lying in the pigsty. One of them had a hemp rope tied around its neck, and another was tied to a pillar, and it was obvious that it was Niu Bizi.
No one knew what the muscular man had done to the bull, but at this moment the bull nose was lying in a pile of pig manure, with its eyelids drooping, motionless.
Jiang Chuhong covered her mouth and nose, and carefully walked around the pig pen to check. My heart was beating fast. When the second mother-in-law used her tricks, Chen Yuande called it a sorcery called "painted skin". This woman was older than Chen Yuande in terms of seniority, so I wondered if she knew about painted skin.
Jiang Chuhong turned around and probably didn't find anything unusual. She glanced at the motionless flame in my hand and said, "Let's go."
He turned around and walked out of the pigsty, heading back towards the funeral home.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and I didn't dare to delay, so I hurried after her, fearing that she would think of something and come back. After returning to the funeral home, as soon as I entered the door, the flame floating in the bowl of water in my hand went out, and the sky suddenly became dark.
"Okay, I've visited them all, let's go back." Jiang Chuhong said lightly and walked towards the front hall.
Only then did I completely breathe a sigh of relief, put away the bowl, wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and followed him.
When they returned to the front hall, they were still talking. Jiang Chuhong went back to sit next to Mr. Liang and said with a smile, "The scenery of your hotel is really nice. Your little Lu Jing is also very smart."
Ma Laoda smiled and said, "Madam, you are too kind."
I sat down next to the lion head, and the fat man pushed me and winked at me, looking at me to ask me how I was doing. I nodded at him, and the fat man's tense body immediately softened, and a smile appeared on his face. Seeing me holding a bowl, he said, "What are you doing with this thing? Did you sneak something into the kitchen?"
This fat guy only knows how to eat! I rolled my eyes at him and threw the bowl into his hands. Damn, I was really scared just now. It turns out that these Maoshan people are not easy to deal with!
I sat next to the fat man, but kept looking at Boss Ma and the others, fearing that the Maoshan people would do something weird again. When I looked again, I was met with the gaze of a person, the young man who came with Jiang Chuhong and the others, sitting , with his legs crossed, not looking serious, and winked at me.
I ignored him. I didn't know who this idiot was. He looked like a descendant of Jiang Chuhong. He was a bit weird.
After listening to them talking for a while, Mr. Liang and Jiang Chuhong stood up to say goodbye, and Boss Ma sent a few people out. The pretty boy surnamed Pang was stunned, obviously a little unbelievable, and shouted: "My master has been captured by them, how can we leave!"
"Shut up!" Mr. Liang shouted and glared at him coldly.
But this Pang was probably too excited and lost his mind, and he shouted without caring about anything: "Are you guys stupid? My master is right here, and you actually want to leave! What the hell are you doing!"
The fat man shrugged at me and whispered, "This kid must have been spoiled by his master."
I spread my hands. This guy was really speechless. He actually dared to yell at his master's elder like this. This guy must be ruined. Sure enough, Mr. Liang's face turned pale and he sneered, "Very good!" and walked out the door.
Jiang Chuhong said goodbye to Boss Ma and the others with a smile, then waved at me and said, "Come here, Xiao Lu Jing." I really didn't want to pay attention to her, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I walked over reluctantly.
The woman rubbed my head with her hand and said with a smile, "You little devil, you are too scheming. You'd better be obedient in the future." She rubbed it a few more times, let go of her hand, looked coldly at the pretty boy standing aside, and said, "Get out of here." Then she chased after Mr. Liang without looking back.
The pretty boy surnamed Pang stared at us with hatred for a while, but finally followed us. Damn it, if this guy dares not to leave, he will definitely be beaten to a pulp by us if he stays.
Seeing Jiang Chuhong's figure disappear into the darkness, I covered my head and cursed in my heart, no matter how scheming I am, how can I be more scheming than you, a vixen? Before I came to my senses, I felt someone rubbing my head again. When I opened my eyes, I saw a figure walking by me. It turned out to be the idiot who came with Jiang Chuhong!
"Fuck, are you sick?" I was in a bad mood at the moment, so I immediately cursed at him rudely.
But the man was not angry at all. He turned around, smiled weirdly at me and said, "Be honest next time and don't have any evil ideas." He left this sentence without any reason and left the funeral home.
