They arrived at a place that resembled an ancestral hall. The courtyard was very big. Huang Feiwen said at the entrance, "Brother Xu, we're here."
"Go in." Xu Fann didn't ask any more questions.
Huang Feiwen entered through the door while Xu Fann followed behind him. Upon entering the door, Xu Fann could smell a faint smell of blood. Xu Fann looked at the clean yard and asked, "Has anyone died here before?"
Huang Feiwen was surprised for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, more than one died."
"Tell me about it." After saying that, Xu Fann turned his back and began to look around the courtyard. At a corner of the yard, there was a Buddha statue, no, to be exact, it was half a Buddha statue, only from the head to the shoulders. Xu Fann walked over and gently pushed the Buddha statue.
"It's like this. Earlier, our village's chief, my grandfather, passed away. According to the rules, we should place him in the ancestral hall for seven days before burying him. During those seven days, there must be people guarding the village." As he said that, Huang Feiwen pointed towards the inside of the ancestral hall. Xu Fann took a look and confirmed that there was indeed a dark red coffin inside. After pausing for a moment, he said, "It's my turn to guard tonight." As he said this, his voice was obviously very scared, and his body was trembling slightly.
"Did something happen to the protector earlier?" Xu Fann frowned and asked.
"Yes, they're all dead. Although the people in the village felt sad on the first day, they didn't care too much either. The next day, Brother Li Ergou also died. Everyone guessed that something was off, and no one came to watch on the third day." When he spoke, cold sweat had already started dripping down his forehead.
Xu Fann took a look at the ancestral hall and said, "Did something big happen to someone who didn't keep watch?"
"Brother Xu, how do you know that something big has happened? Not only have you died, but many of your relatives have also died. It can be said that none of the people from the three clans who gave birth to the good fortune have died. On the fourth day, I really don't want to die!" Huang Feiwen said and then choked up.
"It's okay, it's going to be fine. I'll go and see what's going on." Xu Fann said, and patted Huang Feiwen on the shoulder to comfort him.
Xu Fann frowned as he looked at the dark red coffin and pushed it away with his palm. Huang Feiwen, who was watching from the outside, was also shocked by this scene, although he knew that Xu Fann had some tricks up his sleeves, but he never expected that Xu Fann would push the coffin away with his palm.
After pushing open the dark red coffin, there was no corpse of his grandpa as Huang Feiwen had said. Instead, it was an iron rod with traces of blood on it.
"There really is a problem." Xu Fann said, and reached out to grab the iron-like object.
Just as he touched the iron rod, it exploded Xu Fann's hand with a bang. When he looked again, the iron rod was already gone.
"An insignificant skill." Wu Tie looked at the empty coffin with ridicule. He then walked out of the ancestral hall, looked at Huang Feiwen and asked, "When did your grandfather put in the coffin?"
"I don't know about that. When I came back, I didn't see my grandfather, but I saw this coffin. However, it should have been placed in the coffin at my home." Huang Feiwen said. After he finished, Xu Fann asked again, "Who else is in your family?"
Huang Feiwen said without thinking, "My parents died early, I was brought up by grandpa, there's no one else in this family."
"Then who discovered that your grandfather was dead? Who helped with this? " Xu Fann asked. Huang Feiwen thought for a moment and said, "It's a village letter."
Xu Fann frowned and said, "What kind of people are these villager's books? "Whatever, take me to him."
"Fine." Before he left, he looked back a few times with some worry. Xu Fann shook his head, patted Huang Feiwen a few times and said, "I already told you not to worry, after you take me there, you can go home and sleep. Here, stick one on the door and put it on your body." After saying that, Xu Fann gave Huang Feiwen two defensive runes. When Huang Feiwen was working on the Yanjing, he more or less had heard of Xu Fann and carefully put away the two runes as if they were treasures. Only then did his expression improve a little.
"Let's go. Lead the way." At this time, Huang Feiwen had already put away his charm and patted his pockets in worry. Only after hearing Xu Fann's words did he remember that he still had to bring Xu Fann to the village branch office, so he went up to lead the way.
After walking for about 7 or 8 minutes, Huang Feiwen stopped in front of a house and said: "This is the place. Do you want me to go with you, Brother Xu?" Huang Feiwen originally didn't have much fear towards this villager, but when he saw that what Xu Fann found in the coffin was not his grandpa's body, but a small iron rod, he began to have some doubts towards this villager. Huang Feiwen originally did not have any fear toward this villager, but seeing that what Xu Fann found in the coffin was not his grandpa's corpse, but a small iron rod, he began to have some doubts towards this villager.
"Hey, are you just going to leave?" Xu Fann asked, because just as he finished his sentence, Huang Feiwen turned around and was about to leave. Hearing Xu Fann's question, Huang Feiwen did not understand and looked at Xu Fann doubtfully, but before Xu Fann could open his mouth, Xu Fann said, "I've come all this way to help you, are you going to let me sleep in the ancestral hall to keep watch for you or what?"
"Ah!" "Sorry, Brother Xu, I was too nervous to remember." Huang Feiwen said with an apologetic face. He took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, took two of them from the top, and handed them to Xu Fann. "These are my keys, the blue yard, and the stainless steel door.
Xu Fann put away the keys. Seeing Huang Feiwen preparing to leave again, the corner of his mouth twitched a few times. "Tell me, where is your home?"
"That, is the one with the thatched cottage in the front yard." After Huang Feiwen finished his sentence, he felt a bit embarrassed.
"Let's go, let's go. I don't know how you got into the police academy with this mentality." Xu Fann couldn't help but mock Huang Feiwen. Huang Feiwen was a bit embarrassed by Xu Fann's words.
After Huang Feiwen left, Xu Fann looked at the house on the slope. There didn't seem to be anything weird about it. Since he couldn't see anything here, he might as well go in to get some advice from the village.
