Mr. Shen died very strangely.
He was scared to death.
The first person to discover the body was Butler Zhou.
Mrs. Shen died young, and she usually lived with Mr. Shen, Butler Zhou, and a few servants. Mr. Shen liked drinking tea and collecting antiques.
Although he has retired a long time ago, he has handed over the business of Spring City Antique Chain Store to Mr. Shen.
But I have never let go of my habit of collecting antiques when I see them.
A few days ago, Mr. Shen bought some antiques that he liked. He was so happy that he couldn't stop looking at the antiques every day.
Ever since his granddaughter Shen Yi left home to go to college, Butler Zhou has not seen his great master so happy for a long time.
But after that, Mr. Shen's behavior became weird.
In the morning, I often get up after three o'clock in the morning and walk to the front yard, as if sleepwalking.
One night, I ran to the kitchen and squatted on the floor not knowing what to do.
One of the old servants was frightened half to death.
The old servant clearly saw the master tearing off the neck of the live chicken with his hands. He used the chicken blood to draw circles on the ground, one circle inside another, and the circles were drawn all over the floor.
There are also some weird things, but they are all small things. Now that I think about it, they are quite strange.
Housekeeper Zhou thought that the old man had Alzheimer's disease, and was about to call the old man and ask him to bring a doctor to check the old man.
But before the call was made, Mr. Shen's body was discovered.
When Mr. Shen died, it was seven nights ago. He was sitting in the study, holding an antique in his hand.
Butler Zhou came to invite Mr. Shen to breakfast, but he stood at the door of the study and called several times, but Mr. Shen didn't answer.
When he opened the door and took a look, he was immediately paralyzed with fear.
Mr. Shen's eyes were wide-eyed, his face was wrinkled, and he held his hands like chicken claws and clawed at the sky desperately.
It was like there was something in the sky that wanted to kill him.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mr. Shen seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying before he died.
The forensic doctor came and the result was a heart attack.
However, Butler Zhou did not think so. Mr. Shen was in very good health during his lifetime, and no heart disease was found in his annual physical examination.
He was clearly scared to death.
This will be clear once you see Mr. Shen's face before his death.
Mr. Shen also felt strange and asked the police to investigate.
The police checked the surveillance cameras and the study for traces, but found nothing suspicious, so they quickly closed the case as a result of natural death.
Let it go.
The death of an old man is naturally not as precious as the death of a child in the family, and it is worth investigating the cause of death.
When people grow old, no matter how glorious they are in front of them, they will return to dust and dust. Those who have no money will wrap their bodies in a rotten mat and be thrown into mass graves. Those who have money will just be buried with splendor.
Then the property is divided.
Mr. Shen's funeral was very beautiful.
Due to his large family business, all the well-known figures in the antique community in Spring City came here.
On the day of the vigil, it was the Shen family who kept the vigil themselves.
But something went wrong on the first night.
The front of Mr. Shen's mourning hall was filled with tributes and livestock.
A long-bright lamp was lit in front of the coffin, and it burned vigorously.
The Shen family sat around the coffin, the women played mahjong, and the men drank night wine. Just after twelve o'clock, they heard a shrill meow.
A black cat ran into the mourning hall from nowhere.
It is extremely unlucky for a black cat to enter a burial house.
The crowd chased him away, and the black cat jumped up and down, finally knocking over a plate of sacrifices.
The plate of sacrifices contained a fat chicken without a head and feathers, and everyone didn't care. After driving the black cat out, they called Butler Zhou.
Butler Zhou was puzzled. It was clear that the master had never liked cats and said that cats were evil.
So there isn't even a stray cat in Shen's house.
Where did this black cat come from?
Housekeeper Zhou took people to look for the black cat everywhere in the house, fearing that it would come in again and disturb Mr. Shen's peace. But after running out, the black cat disappeared.
Even though they searched Shen's house all over, they still couldn't find it.
Do you think it's strange?
What’s even stranger is yet to come.
In the mourning hall, the Shen family continued to play mahjong and drink.
At this moment, a cock crow spread throughout the mourning hall, startling everyone.
"Where did the cock crow come from?"
Mr. Shen said doubtfully.
The live chicken bought in the kitchen today had obviously been killed, bled, and served as a sacrifice on the altar table.
Sacrifice...
When everyone realized that the heartbreaking rooster crow came from under the altar table in the mourning hall, everyone was shocked.
They saw a scene that is still unbelievable!
I saw that the fat chicken that had been killed in the afternoon, had its head chopped off, stripped of its fur, and even cooked, stood up unexpectedly.
Use two washed chicken paws to scratch around on the ground.
The headless neck is bare and frightening.
The headless fat chicken is browned all over and shiny with oil.
The entire mourning hall fell into panic and deathly silence.
The dripping water is silent.
The only sound left was the scraping sound of the headless chicken scraping against the floor.
After pulling the chicken steak for a while, he suddenly ran towards the eldest grandma of the Shen family, Shen Yi's mother.
There was a gurgling sound in his stomach, and his headless neck was swaying around as he ran.
Shen Yi's mother was so frightened that she screamed and ran away.
As if the headless chicken could see her, he chased after her all the way.
Even if Shen Yi's mother ran into the front yard, the fat chicken was running behind her, as if chasing her.
The strange scene frightened everyone.
Butler Zhou woke up early. Although he was trembling with fear, he still picked up a wooden rake for catching fallen leaves.
With quick eyes and quick hands, he swung the wooden rake and crushed the headless fat chicken underneath.
The fat chicken struggled desperately under the wooden rake. It was so strong that it didn't look like a chicken at all.
Even a real live chicken would not be so powerful.
"Quick, go and hold it down."
The eldest master of the Shen family pushed a few frightened servants beside him.
The servants bravely rushed forward and finally suppressed the headless chicken.
Not long after it was pressed, the headless chicken stopped moving as if it had lost its life.
But everyone was still very scared, and no one dared to step forward and touch the fat chicken that was running around just now.
The frightened Shen Yi's mother sat on the ground, crying and cursing.
The sentences are vague and I don't know what I'm talking about.
The next day, no one in the Shen family dared to go to the vigil again.
After seeing the strange things happened the day before, the old servants also proposed to resign. Even if the eldest master of the Shen family raised his salary, he couldn't stop it.
With no other choice, the Shen family had no choice but to invite outsiders to watch the night.
The ones we just invited are brave young men, all locals.
But in the middle of the night, these young men were so frightened that they ran out of Shen's house crawling like dogs.
The young man couldn't suppress his evil spirit, so the Shen family raised the price again and simply began to invite village Taoist priests to keep vigil at night.
The Taoist priest from my village came here for the money.
After just one night of watching, I couldn't stand it any longer, and I didn't dare to watch the second night at all.
But according to Master Lu, Mr. Shen’s spirit must be kept for seven days before being buried.
This is only the fourth night.
The Shen family raised the price again and asked Taoist priests from neighboring villages to keep watch.
On the fifth night, people from neighboring villages were asked to keep watch.
Finally, on the last night, the vigil candidates went directly to Spring City.
Unexpectedly, this is the last night.
In such a terrifying way, it makes people despair.
The body of Mr. Shen is missing, and evil spirits surround the house.
Chapter completed!
