Daomu Biji extra 1 part23

“If you don't believe them, then how do you explain what happened to us?” I asked. The living snails in this coffin and the shadow in the stream were both mysterious. If it wasn't haunted, I really didn't know how to explain it.

“This is still unknown. I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but now that I know the origin, I have at least a direction to think." Uncle Two said, “Anyway, we don't have to worry too much about these snails now. We won't return to Hangzhou for another three days. I'll think about it and see what happens. If it's really the evil spirit of the woman's corpse, then our ancestral grave has been moved and the nameless woman's corpse has been buried in it. There's no reason to complain."

We all sighed. It seemed that there was nothing better we could do now. Biao Gong looked at the clock on the wall and stood up, saying, “Let's get busy then!” He went back to see if the dinner was over. My Uncle Two, Uncle Three, and I went back to rest.

There were also Xu A Qin's pickles in the car. I asked, “What should I do with these? I can't take them all the way back to Hangzhou. When I deliver goods, people will smell pickles all over the antiques, and the sales will be ruined." Uncle Three said: “Find a place to pile them up first. I love to eat them.”

After tossing and turning for a while, I still felt uneasy, thinking about the legendary woman's rotten green corpse. I felt uncomfortable all over and checked all the sewers in the house again from top to bottom—the water tower connected to the tap water was in town so I thought that probably didn't matter. I couldn't think of any other places where water flowed, so I felt a little more at ease.

After yesterday's fatigue, staying up late, and getting up early in the morning to drive all day, I really couldn't help it and fell asleep at 8 o'clock. This was the sleep of pure exhaustion, and I slept heavily for once. I was so tired that I didn't even dream, and managed to sleep through the night.

When I got up at five in the morning, I was completely refreshed and rejuvenated, but I noticed the sky was very dark. I put on my clothes and went to the window to listen to the sounds outside when suddenly I froze, realizing that something was wrong.

I didn't know when it had started raining.

A sense of foreboding appeared in my heart and I immediately rushed out from under the eaves of the house and saw Uncle Two and Uncle Three standing there with ashen faces.

I followed where their eyes were looking—in the pouring rain, there was something standing in our yard.
