C3 The Lanterns in the Mountains Cried

At this moment, I still remember the sixteen words Hsing said. She said it quite reasonably.

The night was windy, and the wind howled. Who knows what kind of noise it would make.

Just like the crying sound I heard just now, it must be an illusion! Listen, it's quiet again.

I must not let my imagination run wild. I couldn't help but scare myself.

I quietly stretched my legs and sat down again.

But for some reason, the wind was getting stronger and stronger. My heart was in a mess, as if something bad was about to happen.

The two big light bulbs hanging in the courtyard were shaking violently, as if they could break the wires at any time. Under the bright lights, some pieces of debris and yellow paper fluttered like butterflies that had lost control.

The candles in the mourning hall had long been extinguished by the wind. The black and white remains hanging in the center of the mourning hall were especially dark.

Even though I was brave enough, my heart was still beating fast at this moment.

I imitated Hsing's appearance and closed my eyes, trying to divert my attention. I tried my best to recall the interesting things that had happened in the village.

But for some reason, every time I couldn't think for long, my thoughts would return to the dead.

I suddenly remembered something. No, that's not right. This little wife's death was a little... odd!

Looking at the way Old Zhao and his wife dressed, it was obvious that their family was not short of money. Furthermore, the two of them had already lived in a building in the county. That was even more proof of this.

Life was going well. Why did Hsing jump off the building?

Also, was that man really that tough? At the critical moment, he coincidentally hung on the clothes drying rack.

How thick was the clothes drying rack made of? Could it support the weight of a man?

...

A series of questions instantly rose in my heart.

"Wuwuwu..." "..."

Just as I was thinking about it carefully, I heard another cry, mixed with a vague voice.

This time, I couldn't calm down anymore.

I realized that the two cries came from the same woman. The voice was soft and sweet, very unique.

However, there seemed to be a lot of grievance in it. I only heard it for a while before my nose started to hurt and I almost cried.

After crying a few times, there were two crisp sounds in front of me without any warning.

Then, my eyes turned black.

I realized that the two big light bulbs had exploded at the same time.

Hearing the strange sounds in my ears and unable to see anything with my eyes, my heart suddenly felt cold.

I wanted to call out Hsing's name. Just as the words were about to come out of my mouth, I suddenly covered my mouth.

Rules!

Rules!

Rules!

Uncle Liu's hoarse and solemn words exploded in my mind, making me suddenly feel a sense of clarity.

Taking advantage of this time, I quickly took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

Damn it!

Since I was willing to be Vigil Keeper, how could I be scared like this on the first night?

I secretly took a look at my crotch and found that my pants were twisted. No wonder I felt that it was so weird!

I kept telling myself that I was a bold man, a bold man … All I heard was fake, I was just scaring myself …

After muttering a few words, I suddenly felt a flash in front of me, and a gentle light shone over.

I raised my head and found that in front of me, there was a lantern that had appeared out of nowhere!

The big red lantern floated slowly, like a duckweed that was being watered by the rain. It was moving up and down, slowly approaching me.

As it swayed, the candle inside the lantern flickered, reflecting the shadow behind the lantern.

I could not see what it was. It was like a cloud of smoke, or like steam that was rising and falling.

At this moment, I was no longer a bold man, I was a strong man!

I gritted my teeth and refused to believe that such a scene would appear in front of me.

I thought to myself, is this the ghost that Hsing told me about? Is this the woman in the coffin? Could it be that there really is such a thing in this world?

However, why have I never seen it before?

It knew that it was my first day at work, so it purposely tried to scare the newbie.

...

The mountain breeze quieted down again. The surroundings were completely silent. I could hear my heart beating violently.

My throat was dry, as if I hadn't drank water for days.

Especially the area below my throat, it was dry and itchy. It was like a ball of cotton was stuck there, unable to go up or down.

The red lantern was suspended in front of me. I was stunned as I stared at the slender candle inside and listened to the sound of the candle flame.

I didn't know what would happen next. I didn't want to think about it, and I didn't dare to think about it.

My body felt a slight chill on the right side of my body. It was as if the temperature had suddenly dropped by a few degrees. Then, the crying sound came again.

This time, I heard it more clearly.

The voice was not only repeatedly calling for justice, but there was also a name that appeared many times.

Wenbin!

I was not sure if this "Wenbin" was the man who was lucky enough to not die.

If it was, would she shout this name at me?

Was she blind?

I was afraid, annoyed, and depressed in my heart, but I could not do anything. I could only close my eyes and grit my teeth.

After an unknown period of time, there was suddenly silence beside my ear.

When I opened my eyes, I realized that the lights were still on. The two big light bulbs were not broken, and they were shining brightly and piercing my eyes.

Turning around, I saw the two candles still burning.

What wind... what lanterns... what crying...

All of them disappeared!

I scratched my head and thought, could it be that I was hallucinating just now?

However, the memories were still very clear, especially the crying of the woman. It was so vivid that it made my heart grind.

No matter what, I finally passed the difficult time. When I could speak again, I had to ask Hsing about it. I wanted to know what was going on with the crying and those strange things.

I secretly heaved a sigh of relief. As I shook my body, I felt that my clothes were wet and cold sweat was dripping from my back.

When the wind blew, my back felt cold.

As if she had sensed that something was wrong, Hsing suddenly opened her eyes and asked softly, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?"

To be honest, I wanted to have a good talk with her and recount the terrifying scene to her.

However, as soon as I calmed down, all the strength in my body seemed to have been sucked away. I didn't even want to say a word.

I looked at the electronic clock on my hand. Unknowingly, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

No wonder I felt so tired!

That crying demon actually cried for six hours in my ear?

It was so f*cking loud!

While thinking angrily, I leaned against the coffin and shook my head at Hsing, indicating that she didn't need to care about me.

In another two hours, my first shift would be over. I would have to kneel down eighteen times before I would be satisfied.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Hsing smiled and slowly stood up. She walked to me.

"Why? You think I'm an outsider? Quickly tell me, what did you see just now?" Hsing asked with a smile.

I suddenly felt that something was wrong!

In the afternoon, Hsing repeatedly reminded me to remember the four 'never'.

It was still not time yet, so why did she take the initiative to break the rules? Not only did she speak, she even took the initiative to walk in front of me.

As I raised my doubts, I also noticed another detail.

Her voice!

I realized that Hsing's voice was soft and gentle.

It was really similar to that crying woman!
