【201】Ghost land

Everything was as Zhong Kui expected, there were no bones in the coffin.

It was already very strange that there were no bones in the coffin, but it was even more strange that an empty coffin was placed here in broad daylight. Also, why did Chao Xin act abnormally when Zhong Kui asked to check the backyard.

This question appeared in Ran Qin's mind. He looked at Chao Xin leaning aside, looking very innocent and pitiful. It was the lame leg that caused his body to lean, and his legs were beaten with sticks during sex. He was disabled, and there was an inch-long scar on his face from the corner of his mouth to just above his nose. Without that scar, his entire appearance would have looked smarter. The scar at that location distorted half of his face, highlighting an indescribable look. Feel.

Zhong Kui inspected the coffin and then closed it again. He stared at Chao Xin with a bottomless gaze and said, "Okay, now you should tell the truth."

Chao Xin's face froze unnaturally, and he raised his fingers to pick his nostrils seemingly casually. It was easy to see from his rolling eyes that he was trying his best to hide something.

Ran Qin stood aside calmly, watching what trick he wanted to play.

Zhong Kui handed the obsidian to Chao Xin, "If you don't tell the truth, I can only help you for this reason. If anything big happens to your family, don't blame me for not warning you in advance." As he spoke, he Just hint to Ran Qin to leave here.

After hearing Zhong Kui's words and thinking about all the strange things that had happened before, Chao Xin couldn't help but feel chills in his heart, his vest became hairy, the pores all over his body were prickly, and his complexion became pale.

After Ran Qin got Zhong Kui's hint, he immediately set off to leave.

She was in front, and Zhong Kui was behind. They ignored Chao Xin, who was frozen in place. The two of them walked to the door of the yard in a few steps. He counted in his mind how many seconds it would take for this lame man to He would call out to the two of them... one second... two seconds... three... Before three seconds came, Chao Xin's voice broke from behind: "Hey, Master Zhong, Sir Ran, you guys ……etc,"

Zhong Kui and his wife, who had walked to the courtyard outside the outer room, heard his shout and turned around to look at Chao Xin with feigned confusion and said, "Chao Xin, what else can I do?"

"Hey, don't you want to hear the truth? It's not convenient to talk here." He glanced nervously at the black coffin that had been covered, shook his legs, and hurriedly walked out of the backyard, "You two go to me "Speaking in the study room," seeing Zhong Kui and the others standing there with no intention of leaving, he slowly put the lock back on, locked the backyard door again, and deliberately pulled the lock with his hand when leaving. Check to see if the lock is secure.

Zhong Kui and Ran Qin were really mistaken. This Chao Xin was really a real person without showing his face.

It is not difficult to tell from the layout of the entire study room that he is also a calligraphy enthusiast. The layout of the study room is purely classical. In a small space, one wall is covered with yellow portraits of ladies, and the other side is hung with Various inscriptions and portraits of famous great people in regular script, cursive script, official script, fonts, etc.

There is an antique-like brush holder placed on a desk in the center of the study, with several awls (brushes) placed in it. A row of storage racks full of scrolls are placed in appropriate positions. A handful of antique-like brush holders are placed in the appropriate position. The special Taishi chair makes the study even more poetic and picturesque.

The first person to show surprise was Ran Qin. With her keen observation skills, she never noticed that Chao Xin, a lame man who seemed thick and clumsy, was actually...

Zhong Kui froze on the spot and looked around habitually.

"Don't laugh, just sit wherever you want," Chao Xin said in a sincere tone, pulling up another chair in the corner for Zhong Kui to sit on.

"Okay, okay," the two of them agreed, looking at the chairs casually and sitting down. Getting straight to the point is Zhong Kui's nature. He doesn't care who you are, he just wants to get things done and leave.

Chao Xin called for two cups of tea. He did not let the person who brought the tea enter the study. After taking the tea cups, he mysteriously closed the study door.

The light suddenly dimmed as the study door closed. In this too quiet and dull space, even though there were three people together, Ran Qin couldn't help but feel a chill all over her body. She pulled the chair close to Zhong Kui and then I feel slightly better.

"Okay, I'm a straight-tempered person. I don't like to mince words when I say anything," Zhong Kui broke the silence and spoke first.

"Well, you ask and I answer,"

Ran Qin didn't seem to notice that the conversation had started. Her eyes fell on the dull yellow light bulb in the study room, and she thought to herself: "Seeing that this family is in good condition, why are they so stingy that they don't replace it with a bigger light bulb?" In that case, you can at least increase the brightness and it won't feel so depressing and dark.

Seeing her looking around with unpredictable expressions, Zhong Kui knew that Ran Qin was afraid of the mysterious atmosphere here. Everything in the study was very old. Isn't it said that the older the things, the more evil they are. This is what she was afraid of. Feeling evil, "Ahem, let's get down to business, you take notes." He coughed twice, stopping her chaotic thoughts in time, and saw that she had already picked up her notebook and started to take notes.

Then he turned his attention back to Chao Xin and asked, "Whose family does that coffin belong to?"

"It belongs to my uncle,"

"Why do you want to do it at home?"

"Aren't you afraid of the movement? During the period when the movement came, many people's coffins were used as urine buckets..."

"Well, how did you get this coffin home, and where was the coffin's original location?"

"I brought it back with a frame truck, and my uncle was buried in the woods in the mass grave. The woods were actually the garden of our hometown and the location of our Chao family's ancestral graves. Later, after various movements, the garden was divided up and the ancestral graves were dug up... The only coffin that remains of my uncle has not been found,"

Chao Xin's words not only startled Zhong Kui, but also frightened Ran Qin who was taking notes. He thought this guy was responsible for the potholes in the graveyard forest. So what happened when the woods were burned by fire that night? Woolen cloth.

"Did you light the fire that night?"

"Yes, my uncle gave me a dream, saying that someone was trying to harm him and asked me to destroy the evidence,"

"Hey, I've been talking about your uncle for a long time. What's your uncle's name?"

"Chao Dekui was once a groom of a Kuomintang officer. He later saved the officer's life. The officer promoted my uncle and gave him a lot of money."

"Chao Dekui," Zhong Kui was thinking deeply, suddenly remembering another thing Xiao Juhua told him before, that is, he was blackmailed by the ghost guard when he went to the gate of hell. At that time, a man named Mr. Kui appeared. Could it be that That Mr. Kui is Chao Xin’s uncle. “Where are your uncle’s bones?”
