Chapter 351 The Wreath is Missing (2/2)



"roll!"

“Hahahahahaha…”

A group of people left laughing and making noises.

Lin Xi also caught the ghost on the ground, put it into the talisman, and at night he found an empty corner and placed it there. He then left a message for the nearby ghost.

When the nearby ghost messengers get wind of her, they will come and take the ghost away.

In order to avoid any accidents, Lin Xi left a paper man watching over him before leaving.

Just after midnight, Lin Xi received a message from the paper man that the ghost had been taken away by the underworld.

This matter is completely understood.

On the next day, Xu Jing, who loved eating melons, asked her about what happened this time.

After Lin Xi briefly told her what the ghost had done, Xu Jing was amazed. She then quickly took out her notebook and recorded what happened.

Lin Xi didn't see what she was writing, but he guessed something from Xu Jing's behavior.

Before, every time Xu Jing asked her about her situation, she would take out a pen and paper to write and draw after listening, and then she would whisper something like "new inspiration has come" in a very low voice.

Lin Xi didn't mean to eavesdrop, but his hearing was too poor.

Combining Xu Jing's actions and what she said, she roughly guessed that Xu Jing was probably working on some creative project.

But she neither said it actively nor asked.

She thought Xu Jing would keep her little secret forever, but within two days, she came to her with an anxious look on her face and said.

"Lin Xi, urgent help!"

Lin Xi saw that although her expression was anxious, her face did not show that she had encountered any trouble, so he knew that Xu Jing did not come to him for help because of her problem.

It should be about other people's business.

Sure enough, after Lin Xi signaled her to speak, Xu Jing immediately spoke.

"It's not me that's in trouble, it's a friend of mine who's in trouble!"

Since everyone was going to ask Lin Xi for help, Xu Jing no longer hid her first-level identity.

In addition to her identity as a university student, Xu Jing also has another identity online, that is, an online novel writer.

Although she is not very famous, she has made several like-minded friends through writing novels, which she calls her gay friends.

This time, something happened to one of her gay friends.

To be more precise, something happened in my friend's family.

Her gay friend is called Taotao. Her grandfather passed away a few days ago, and she has been staying in her hometown these days to deal with her grandfather's funeral.

The most strange thing happened at her grandfather's funeral.

Taotao's home is in Jiangyu. According to the customs there, the deceased must be kept in a mourning hall at home for a few days before being buried.

The weather wasn't too hot recently, so they set up the mourning hall for three days.

Until the day when the old man's body was buried, nothing unexpected happened.

She thought that after her grandfather's grave and other things were settled, their family would stay at home for two more days to tidy up the things at home, and wait until the third day to "complete the grave", that is, to burn some paper for grandfather and pay homage to him, and then they could return to the city.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, Taotao's father, missing his deceased father, unknowingly went to Taotao's grandfather's new grave.

I originally planned to go over and have a chat with my father, but before I even got close, I was so frightened by the scene in front of me that my eyes widened.

Because he discovered that the circle of flowers that had filled the entire tomb the previous night had completely disappeared after one night!

Yesterday, many relatives came to bury Taotao’s grandfather, and many of them bought funeral shrines.

So yesterday, those circles almost surrounded the entire grave, and some were placed on the sides.

These hoop rings are made of paper and are biodegradable, so after they are placed there, their descendants will not move them. They will just wait for the hoop rings to degrade by themselves after being exposed to wind and rain.

Before this, wreaths are placed around the graves to express the remembrance and respect of future generations for the deceased. The more wreaths there are, the more prosperous the family will be.

But there were so many circles yesterday, and now there is not a single one left!

Taotao's father was so scared that he didn't care about anything else. He ran home and told his family about it.

There were a few relatives at home who had not yet been buried. After hearing this, they quickly ran to the grave to see, and they saw that it was indeed the grave.

They suspected at the time that it might have been stolen.

But I have seen people stealing gold and silver, but I have never seen anyone stealing money?

The key point is what can you do with this stolen ring? You can't just burn it as paper, right?

Also, they carefully checked the area nearby for any suspicious footprints.

To their shock, nothing was found!

If someone comes to steal the ring, no matter how powerful that person is, he will definitely leave footprints, unless that person is so powerful that he can erase the footprints completely in the dark.

In the end, they searched around but found no clues, and could only temporarily rule out the possibility of human error.

If it wasn't stolen, could it have been blown away by the wind?

Several people looked at each other, feeling a little uncertain for a moment.

The main reason was that they had been busy with funeral matters in the past few days, either staying up late to keep vigil or busy with this and that, and in fact no one had any rest.

They waited patiently for the old man to be buried yesterday, and now they have nothing to do for the time being, so they can rest for the night.

So everyone, including Taotao's family, as well as relatives and neighbors in the village, had a rare chance to get some sleep.

After falling asleep, I really didn't pay much attention to whether there was wind outside last night, how strong the wind was, etc.

Is it that the wind is a bit too strong, blowing away so many circles at once?

Although I think this guess is outrageous, I really can't find any other clues or reasons.

In the end, they could only temporarily accept this reason.

The next morning, I hurried to the town, found the store where I bought the steamed buns before, and bought another batch of steamed buns.

When Taotao and her friends went to buy the rings, the owner of the ring shop was very surprised.

Didn’t they buy so many rings yesterday? Why are they buying them again today?

((。 ́︿ ̀。) I also wanted to update earlier, but I couldn't hold it in. I'll try to update earlier in the future and work hard to adjust my schedule. Believe me! Also, thank you all for the many small gifts. I'm so grateful~)
