"I don't know what's going to happen, I don't know," Mu ran gave him a cold look. "The last person who did something like this has suffered a terrible reaction."

"Well, that's not burning." Kexun spread out his hands, "then what if I draw a tortoise, a wangba, a goatee or something on their faces?"

Mu Yi Ran looked at him with the eyes of the mentally retarded: "in the Chinese ghost culture, no matter the gods and ghosts, can not be humiliated."

"That God and ghost can humiliate people?" Kexun was helpless.

After the examination, they found nothing exciting. After looking at the sky, although it was gray and gloomy, they knew that it was daybreak, so they closed the main room door and went out to the hospital.

Kexun remembered that the old man had told him last night that he would gather at his place at 8 o'clock this morning, so he called on Weidong, who had been staying in the yard.

As soon as I was discharged from the hospital, I saw the pancake stall owner sitting on the ground with water stains on his face. I didn't know whether it was sweat or tears.

Weidong finally remembered what Liu Yufei had said to him last night. He dragged the pancake stall owner: "don't do useless things. This place can't run out. You will eventually come back to your original place wherever you run. You'd better follow everyone. Maybe you can find a way to go back today."

The pancake stall owner got up in a daze and followed the people's footsteps like a puppet.

Ke Xun asked Wei Dong, "what's going on when you run back to where you are?"

Wei Dong pointed to the misty depth in the distance: "Liu Yufei said that no matter which direction you run, you will eventually come back to the starting point. This is just like a picture placed in front of you. The person running to the left of the frame will run outside the frame and the person will appear on the right side of the frame at the same time, and then run back to the original place. Do you understand? You can't get out of the frame anyway

“…… It's so desperate. " Kexun sighed.

"What do you see in that room?" Wei Dong asked.

Ke Xun told him simply. He looked up and saw Mu Yiran, who was walking in front of him. He quickened his pace to catch up with him, and asked him, "brother mu, tell me, what did you find in the spirit hall at that time?"

Mu Yi closed his eyes, but Ke Xun saw some helplessness on his cold face. Without prompting, he just looked at him and waited quietly.

Mu Yi Ran looked down at the face in front of him. His untidy short hair made him look lazy and unruly. However, the eyes under his two beautiful eyebrows were pure and serious. They were black and white, and they flashed with clear light.

Just looking at this face, we can't see that this man has a thick skin and two goods attribute.

He pursed his lips. Mu Yi moved his eyes away and said in a low voice: "there is something wrong with the wood of that coffin. The wood used to make the coffin is usually made of nanmu, Tung, pine or mixed wood of Chinese fir and cypress. However, the coffin in the mourning hall is made of pure cypress, which is not mixed with cypress. "

"So?" Kexun looked at him.

"In the funeral culture in some parts of China, pure willow or cypress wood is prohibited for coffin making." Mu Yi Ran's voice was low. "According to the old custom, willows, because they don't bear seeds, will lead to the death of their descendants if they are used as coffin wood. If you use a pure cypress wooden coffin, you will be beaten by heaven. "

"Tianda?" Ke Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "Heaven strikes with thunder?"

Mu Yi Ran nodded slightly: "you can say so. Therefore, the use of pure willow and pure cypress coffins is a kind of funeral taboo, where there are relevant customs, it is usually impossible to make such a mistake. "

Ke Xun turned his head and looked at the Li family's house far behind: "but this family has made a taboo, which shows that..."

"The explanation was made on purpose," Mu Yi Ran also looked back with deep meaning. "If you commit a crime knowingly, there is only one possibility, that is, to turn taboo into curse."

Ke Xun: "it's Damnation? Great. Why is that? "

Mu Yi looked down and seemed to be thinking: "even if it is a painting, the content should conform to logic, and if it is a realistic painting, it should be more practical. We people, after entering the painting, became one of the characters in the painting. Among them, there are watchmen, wood cutters, granary keepers, storekeepers, grave diggers... "

"There seems to be something missing." Kexun looked at the people walking in front.

Mu Yi Ran's eyes flashed slightly: "there is no second leading role in the funeral ceremony."

"Who?" Kexun looked at him.

Mu Yi Ran's eyes moved to his face: "the family of the dead."

Kexun woke up: "yes, there were no other roles in the yard except us. Wait, are the three people who died the family members of the dead? "

"No Mu Yi Ran pointed to the people walking in front with his chin, "we are all dressed the same. If we are the family members of the deceased, we should wear filial piety, or even if we are not, the costumes will not be the same. According to the arrangement in the old man's house last night, we should be villagers. "

"Then why should the villagers keep their souls?" Asked Ke Xun."In some villages with a small population, the whole village has to help when one family is engaged in red and white affairs." He answered.

Kexun asked, "is it hard to be a little brother mu? Are you a simple peasant brother?"

Mu Yi Ran looked at him coldly: "read more."

"I'm from the sports department." Learning slag, Ke Xun had no shame on his face, "say, the book can teach you how to identify coffin wood?"

Mu Yi didn't want to answer, but he was afraid of being pestered by Ke Xun. He had to say, "I have friends who are obsessed with wood art."

This "obsession" is very particular, usually accompanied by obsession is Amway crazy - it is estimated that Amway is not less knowledge about wood.

"Then why didn't the family members of the dead appear?" Kexun felt his chin and thought, "the dead were cursed with a cypress coffin, so the family members didn't have a word? Who was the man who made the coffin for the dead? "

"Find the answers to these questions, and you will probably be able to leave here."

When he was talking, he arrived at the old man's house last night. After entering the door, he saw steamed stuffed buns, rice porridge and chopsticks on the table in his room. The old man's lifeless eyes swept the crowd: "everyone worked hard last night. Let's have breakfast first. There is no work to do during the day, so you can have a rest and come to me as soon as it is dark. I will arrange the work for you tonight. "

Then the old man turned and went into the inner room.

Ke Xun was thinking about whether the food on the table would be poisonous, but he saw that two or three people had already come to sit down and eat. Ke Xun looked at Mu Yi Ran and saw that his face was a little heavy, but he also went to the table and filled himself with a bowl of porridge.

"Is that all right?" Kexun sat next to him and watched him scoop the porridge into his mouth. His movements were graceful.

Nearby Liu Yufei sneered at the interface: "don't worry, if the food is poisonous, there is no need to make so many mysterious things to upset us, directly throw the house hungry for a month, no one can survive."

Ke Xun still looked at Mu Yi Ran: "what's the matter with your face? Picky? "

Mu Yi Ran coldly gouged out his one eye: "want to die quickly in a second, I will complete you."

Kexun immediately remembered that he had been held on the ground by the big man last night without any resistance. He held out two steamed stuffed buns and handed one to the shepherd. The old man ignored him and was obeyed by Weidong.

Meanwhile, Liu Yufei stirred the rice porridge in the bowl with a spoon in disgust, and continued to talk to Ke Xun: "his face is not good-looking. I guess it's because the two people who went to dig graves died."

After a meal, Kexun counted the heads in the room and found that there were indeed two people who went to dig graves yesterday: "how do you know those two are dead?"

"Because the old man didn't wait for the two people to come back and let us have dinner," Liu Yufei pointed to the inner room. "If the two people are still alive, the old man will wait for all the others to say what he said just now."

"Shit." Wei Dong scolded in a low voice, "one night on the discount of five, according to such efficiency, after today we can still have a few?"

No one answered his words, just eat in silence, some people numb, some people seem to think, some people lost their souls.

The taste of this meal is really indescribable. The porridge is cold, the steamed stuffed bun is hard, and there are white hairs hanging on the top of several pickled vegetable sticks. The stuffing of steamed stuffed bun is unknown. It tastes like grass and has the smell of horse manure.

However, no matter how bad it is, you still have to eat it. Otherwise, I don't know when my physical strength will last.

After a bad meal, Mu Yi Ran stood up and went out.

Kexun took Weidong and said, "where are you going?"

"Go outside and look for clues." He answered in a deep voice.

"Can you walk around? You're not afraid to meet with what? " Wei Dong asked.

"According to the content reflected in the painting, it should be fine during the day," Mu Yi Ran said. "Besides, in the old man's speech, he did not mention that he was not allowed to go outside, so he should be OK."

"We'll go with you." Kexun decided to hold the big man's thighs tightly.

Mu Yi Ran ignored him, so he left the yard and headed for the north of the village.

The north of the village is a wasteland, and further away, it is still boundless and chaotic.

Over the wasteland, the crow calls shrill and shrill. After circling for several times, they fall on the side of a mound.

Ke Xun Weidong strode past with Mu Yi Ran, but he saw two bodies beside the mound.

Wei Dong yelled and sat down on the ground. Then he retreated back seven or eight meters with his hands and hands on the ground, then stopped and pointed at the corpse and shivered.

"Close your eyes and go away." When Kexun stood in front of him, he didn't want to see the death of the two corpses. However, he saw Mu Yi Ran to the front of him, lowered his head and examined the corpse carefully. He endured the discomfort and then took a look at the corpse.

It was almost spit out on the spot.
