The two of them drove the car, following the family of four in front.
This time, the family was even more terrified, wondering if they had offended them. They didn't know what these two terrifying people were up to.
Jiang Yue saw from behind that the route they were driving was so crooked that it was simply unbearable to watch.
The two cars traveled for two days and finally arrived when Jiang Yue was drowsy.
Jiang Yue leaned against Jiang Nian's chest, her face covered by a straw hat, her eyes half-closed. She felt the mule cart slow down, so she took off her hat. The strong light was blinding, and her vision went dark for a while.
When she opened her eyes, she realized that it was not only the sunlight that was dazzling, but also the white flags.
There was no door at the entrance, only a door-shaped wooden frame with a plaque hanging on the top with the words "Yi Zhuang" written in large letters.
The black ink, unfaded by the natural disaster, formed a stark contrast with the white banners surrounding it. The black was too black, the white too white.
The car they were following had disappeared.
Jiang Nian stopped the car and frowned, "Those people went in."
Jiang Yue took a deep breath. Behind the plaque was a wooden house that looked a bit shabby compared to the plaque. The door was open, and opposite it hung a portrait of a Taoist priest. Under the portrait was a large coffin.
The white banners around her fluttered in the wind, and the portrait of the Taoist priest also fluttered slightly, as if the person in the painting was smiling at her.
In broad daylight, under such scorching sun, I could actually feel a chill rising from my spine.
"Shall we go in? There are a lot of corpses inside." Jiang Nian pulled down his mask and smelled the strong stench of decay in the air.
"Some are fresh corpses, some are already rotten, and some have long since turned into bones." He frowned and put on the mask tighter.
Jiang Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Go in! I want to see what's in that trading town."
The two men came down and walked in, leading the mule.
In addition to the main house, there are two or three small wooden houses on each side, built in an irregular shape.
The surroundings were silent, with only the sound of mule hooves clacking on the ground, and Jiang Yue's heart tightened. The more she tried to control herself from looking at the coffin, the more she couldn't help but glance inside.
The body in the coffin was facing the main door, meaning her feet were facing the entrance. Jiang Yue clearly saw a pair of faded red embroidered shoes...
“Aa ...
A gust of wind blew, and the doors of these rooms opened, swaying back and forth, making creaking sounds, which scared Jiang Yue.
Jiang Nian reached back and held her cold fingertips with his warm hand. "If you're scared, don't watch it. I'll tell you."
The door was already open, and the paper windows of each room were already torn and tattered. Jiang Nian took a glance inside and knew the whole situation.
Jiang Yue followed his footsteps and held his arm tightly.
Jiang Nian said, "There are eight coffins in the main house, and the one in the middle is the largest. Inside is a mother, as her hands are bent, as if she were holding a child. I don't know where the child went. All that's left are a pair of tiger-head shoes and a tiger-head hat."
"We just went to the left. In the first room, there were seven coffins, each containing a body. However, there were also a lot of debris scattered on the ground and in the corners."
"I wonder if the strangers have no place to bury their bodies, so they come here to find a burial site..."
Jiang Nian's voice was full of yang energy, which dispelled the yin energy.
She no longer felt afraid after listening to it, and she no longer had any curiosity about the charity cemetery. She just regarded it as a grave mound of higher quality than a mass grave.
The two of them drove to the last room, and Jiang Yue glanced inside inadvertently.
There are several black shadows floating around!
She shuddered.
Jiang Nian tilted his head and chuckled, then pulled his hand out and hugged her waist, "Don't be afraid, there's someone inside."
Jiang Yue hadn't even blinked when she saw the corpse before, so why was she scared now?
Jiang Yue: It's different, really different! I don't know how to describe this feeling. You see a few bodies lying on the roadside, and you don't feel scared.
But if you see these corpses in coffins, you will definitely feel scared!
Maybe I've watched too many Uncle Ying movies? The corpse in the coffin is just a buff! If it really is a ghost, it would be even more powerful!
Besides, the experience of killing a bad guy is completely different from looking at a corpse now. Killing is all about passion and excitement, but looking at a corpse is just a mess of emotions.
It's unclear whether these people were good or evil, rich or poor. Despite their differences in life, they all ended up in the same place after death: a thin coffin. How pitiful!
At this time, voices were heard from inside the house.
A man in his thirties said, "Is there the sound of wheels rolling outside? It sounds like someone is talking."
Another old voice answered, seemingly nonchalantly, "It's not people talking, could it be these corpses speaking?"
“More and more people are coming here recently.”
"It's better to have more talents, otherwise how can we do business?"
"That's right. Hey, Dad, you marked that place."
"Really? My memory is getting worse and worse."
"It's okay, Dad, it will get better soon, just eat more..."
Jiang Yue didn't hear clearly what it was afterwards, and Jiang Nian would never tell her, as it would be disgusting to say it out loud.
The two of them walked around the last room and saw an entrance.
Like the entrance to the charity cemetery, there is a large plaque at the top with the words "Trading Town" written on it.
There was a man sitting below, wearing linen clothes and a straw hat, dozing with his eyes half closed.
Hearing the visitor, he didn't even stand up, but said lazily, "You are not allowed to wander around or ask around in this town. Except for the inn, all other shops are closed. This road is for entry only, not exit. If you want to pass through here, leave a cake."
Jiang Yue lowered her eyes and saw that his skin was pale and dark under his eyes, probably due to lack of sleep. She took out a multi-grain pancake from her bosom and handed it to him.
The man took it, stuffed it into his mouth, waved his hand, and said something polite, "Thank you for the tip. The trading town wishes you a smooth and happy business. Please come in this way."
After the people left, the gatekeeper chewed the multi-grain cake in his hand, opened his eyes, and a smile appeared in his dark eyes. He looked at their backs and said, "It seems that a big fish has come today."
