I frowned immediately, feeling something was not normal.
Could it be that there is something hidden in this coffin?
As soon as this thought occurred, a slight sound suddenly sounded from the coffin, like the sound of knuckle bones being pinched.
The sound was not loud, but I could hear it clearly in this silent night. Not only did I hear it, but Long Shuiyao also heard it. She quickly let go of the coffin, ran to my side, and looked at me nervously.
I thought about it and gently pushed the coffin lid out from my feet to create a gap. This would prevent Long Buhui from colliding with the living person's yang energy.
As I shined the flashlight inside, I finally saw what was going on inside the coffin, only to find that the old man's skull had rolled down at Long Buhui's feet. The sound came from the bones of his head and mouth, as if the bones were speaking.
Long Shuiyao had never seen such a scene before, and he was so frightened that he grabbed my arm.
"Don't be afraid, it's your grandfather. He doesn't seem to want to be buried, so he told us this way." I said quickly.
As soon as Long Shuiyao heard that it was her grandfather, she immediately lost her fear. She let go of my arm and came closer, but the skull in the coffin had stopped moving.
It seems that my guess was correct. Mr. Long really did not want to be buried. He stopped as soon as Wo opened his mouth.
When encountering this situation, there are only two possibilities, either he has an unfulfilled wish, or there is something wrong with that link.
After thinking about it, I asked Long Shuiyao, "When you were picking up bones, were you sure you picked out all my bones?"
"I picked them all out," Long Buhui replied.
"Is there anything missing?"
"No."
"you sure?"
"I'm sure, I checked it carefully several times." Long Shuiyao replied affirmatively.
"That's weird? Since there is no problem in picking up bones, what else can the old man do?" I was a little confused.
You can't ask a dead person about this kind of thing, you can only guess one by one, but now we don't have time at all.
"If you think about it again, the old man will not go down until this matter is resolved."
"Master Ninth, I really checked. There is a worker who knows a little bit. He counted one or two hundred and four bones, and there is not a lot of bones." Long Shuiyao explained.
"How much?" I widened my eyes.
"Two hundred and four!" Long Shuiyao looked at me puzzled.
"Sister, there are two hundred and six bones in the human body, and these two are obviously missing."
"Ah, I don't know, I thought it was only two hundred and four yuan." Long Shuiyao's expression changed immediately.
"No wonder the old man doesn't cheat on An An. Aren't you just fooling around?..."
I suddenly became anxious. The old man’s previous burial grave had been refilled, and if we wanted to find it now, we wouldn’t have time.
At this moment, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something unusual in Mr. Long's skull. I quickly looked at it with a flashlight and found a shadow under the skull.
I quickly broke off a branch from the side, said sorry, and turned Mr. Long's skull over. Suddenly, a gap the size of an egg appeared in front of me.
"Your grandfather's skull is missing a piece!" I said, feeling that the gap looked familiar.
"Ah, how could it be possible?" Long Shuiyao looked shocked.
I didn't listen to Long Shuiyao's words because I suddenly remembered where I had seen this bone.
I was stunned on the spot for a moment, I couldn't believe this was true.
"Master Ninth, what's wrong with you?" Long Shuiyao noticed something strange about me.
I slowly turned my head and stared at Long Shuiyao, trying to see her face carefully.
I looked at Long Shuiyao inexplicably, and her face looked a little unnatural, but the expression in my eyes only confirmed my guess. The doubts that had been lingering in my heart were finally figured out.
"Miss Long, I didn't expect, I really didn't expect, that you would be such a heartless and venomous person. Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
Long Shuiyao was stunned by my scolding and looked at me in confusion.
"Master Ninth, what's wrong with you? Why are you scolding me?"
"Haha...don't you know why I'm scolding you?" I pointed at the gap in Mr. Long's skull and said.
"I really don't understand what you mean? Tell me what's going on?" Long Shuiyao was surprised and anxious at the same time.
I laughed angrily, "Okay, do you dare to admit it? I ask you where the bone talisman on your body came from. Don't tell me you don't know."
Long Shuiyao was stunned for a moment, then reacted suddenly, looked at me in disbelief, then looked at the gap in Mr. Long's skull, and opened his mouth a little bit.
"You mean, the bone talisman is made of grandpa's skull?" Long Shuiyao's expression changed drastically.
"You finally admitted it." I looked at Long Shuiyao angrily.
Long Shuiyao's body swayed and he almost fell to the ground. Then he slowly took out the cracked bone talisman from his body and slowly stretched it towards the coffin with trembling hands.
I can see clearly that the shape of the bone talisman is exactly the same as the shape of the gap.
Long Shuiyao also noticed it, and his body softened and he sat on the ground.
"Now admit it. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God for doing such a thing?" I was really angry.
"You actually used your grandfather's bones as a fortune-telling charm. No wonder the construction of Kowloon City went smoothly. You are so cruel. You drove your grandfather to pieces just for the sake of business!"
Long Shuiyao was completely stunned and shook her head vigorously. It wasn't until I finished scolding that she realized what I was doing and stood up suddenly.
"Young Master Ninth, I don't know. I really don't know. The thing was given to me by Cripple Zuo. Before I saw you last time, I didn't even know that these things were human bones. If I knew that, I would be beaten to death."
If you don’t know how to use this kind of thing, then that’s my grandpa!”
As he said this, Long Shuiyao burst into tears, his face full of panic and confusion.
The way I looked at her, it didn't look like she was pretending at all, it seemed like she really didn't know.
This made me gradually calm down. It seemed that I had wrongly blamed her. After getting along with her for a few days, Long Shuiyao's behavior was indeed not that kind of person.
He took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and then asked, "Tell me, what is going on?"
Long Shuiyao wiped her tears, pointed to the gap in the skull and said, "This piece of exposed bone should have disappeared when grandpa passed away."
"He disappeared when he died?"
Long Shuiyao nodded, "My grandfather actually fell to death. At that time, he suddenly fell in love with a young and beautiful girlfriend. During that time, he often went out, and then one day he got drunk and fell from the building with his head.
It was at this location that he died at that time and was buried later.”
I was a little speechless, I didn't expect Mr. Long to be so good at his age.
"You said before that Cripple Zuo buried your grandfather?" I asked.
"Yes."
"Is it at this time that Zuo Laizi was introduced to you?" I asked again.
"How do you know?" Long Shuiyao looked surprised.
I took a deep breath and said, "I think I already know the whole story."
