C3 Noonday Shock Coffin

When I heard this, my heart tightened. I looked at the three women guiltily. I didn't expect her eyes to be looking at me. I quickly shifted my gaze away.

"Tell me the details." she asked her brother, still looking at me.

"It's a beautiful woman. It's the widow from Yao Family Bay. I heard that she wasn't wearing any clothes. Her lower body was badly mutilated, as if someone had violently violated her!" His big brother's aura was still unstable, so he said it all in one go.

I have heard of this widow from Yao family Bay. She is said to be very beautiful, but it is a pity that her husband died early and she became a widow. There are even some romantic affairs related to her.

"Didn't you finish last night?" The third matron's originally cloudy eyes looked at me sternly. I felt a little guilty. How could a little virgin like me say such words?

"Well, I saw a woman lying with the body in the shed by the fish pond!"

"Xiao Yu came back. Oh right, they said that this woman died in the shed. No one knew why the widow had died there. "There are a lot of speculations …" Seeing the fire of gossip burning in his eyes, I knew that he must be mentally compiling all kinds of versions.

"Uncle is back!" Fourth Uncle's voice rang out, and Third Aunt did not say anything more.

"Uncle …" "Eldest grandpa …" A group of people greeted my grandfather. He didn't say a word as he walked into the house and took off his raincoat. He sighed with a worried face. Fourth Uncle handed me a small gourd. He raised his head and took a sip. When I smelled the wine, I knew it was wine.

"Take a sip of the rain. It was raining last night, let the cold weather go away." After saying that, he passed the gourd to me. I was a little dumbfounded. Previously, he didn't allow me to touch the wine. However, I still obediently took a sip from it. Just this single sip caused my throat to spicy and I couldn't help but cough.

"Uncle, Xiu Niang is gone!" Second Brother was unable to find him for the entire night. " While Big Brother was patting my back, Fourth Uncle came over to report to Grandfather about the situation.

"It's fine, I've sent the embroidery lady away. She can't stay in the village anymore. It's all my fault for being soft-hearted and for causing this old lady's death. She should have been sent away a long time ago." Grandfather waved his hand, a little dejected. What do you mean, he sent my mother away? Where did he go?

"Grandpa …"

"Stop talking, I know. This is her phone number. Call her yourself." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his underwear.

"Mom …" I was relieved to hear her voice, but I couldn't stop crying. It was the first time in my life that so many things had happened last night, and I finally couldn't control myself.

"Yu'er, don't cry. Mommy will be waiting for you in the provincial capital. Listen to your grandpa for the rest of the time. When the village is settled, come and find me, okay?" There was helplessness in her mother's voice. It seemed like she wasn't willing to leave either, since she had no other choice.

"Uncle, why did you send the embroidery mother away?" Fourth Uncle asked curiously, and then complained, "When you gave it away, you didn't even say anything, making it easy for second brother to find it!"

"You don't understand shit! This matter isn't as simple as you think. If I don't send her away, the widow who died at Yao Family Bay last night will no longer be the same. I used to think that Yu'er was still young, so I dragged it out. Now that I've killed her, you all better watch out for her. If he dies, our village will be finished. " Grandfather's sudden outburst startled everyone.

"Yu'er, after you're done calling, come over here and help …" He and the three women went into the next room.

I knew my mother was safe, so I was relieved. I was just curious about what my grandfather meant. After saying a few words, I hung up the phone. I wiped my tears away and jogged into the house.

"Come on, put some orchids on it." As soon as I entered the room, my grandfather handed me a brush. In front of me was a pot of red liquid and a few white lanterns, while San Nuo was cutting flowers with a pair of scissors. I could see that it was an orchid. As soon as she was done, she threw it into the basin with the red liquid. I asked her about the smell of blood.

"What is that red thing?" Why does it smell like blood? " I watched her work curiously.

"Dog's blood!" "Don't just stand there, hurry up and draw. We don't know what will happen tonight. I'll go to Yao Family Bay first and take care of that widow. I don't think it will be peaceful there either." Grandfather said and left. The three women didn't say anything and just handed over a box. I saw that inside the box was a blood-red orchid.

I quickly touched the dog blood with a brush and started to draw when the brush was full. I held the lantern with one hand and started to draw with the other. But why does it feel like the skin of an animal?

"Stop looking, hurry up and draw. I'll accompany you. Your grandfather said that you've already learnt his brush style. If it wasn't for the fact that I don't know this type of brush style, you wouldn't be needed." This was dog blood, with cinnabar inside. This lantern was made from dog skin, and inside it was a red candle. "Therefore, things are precious. If you want to draw properly, you can't waste it." The third matron probably saw my doubt and explained it all to me in one breath.

"Oh, no wonder I didn't hear the dogs barking last night. Are they all here?" I looked at the empty lanterns and the two pots of red blood that filled the room.

"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and draw! Why are you talking so much?" The third matron's face was serious. She didn't want to joke with me.

I quickly began to draw. To tell the truth, this method of writing specifically examined one's eyesight and wrist strength, unlike the usual method of drawing, where one would directly draw the outline and then color it; this method required that the tip of the brush should not leave the picture before it was drawn. It had to be done in one stroke, and it was difficult for the brush to be filled with ink at the beginning, and there was no ink at the end.

The color of the entire picture must be even, so there must be no shade. This is why there are so many males in the Ji Clan, only I have completely learnt this technique, so Grandfather must have a different opinion of me.

This lantern is not round but square. Aside from the upper and lower two surfaces, the other four need to be painted with blood-red orchids. I started to have quite a strong interest in it.

"Calm down, calm down, take a deep breath, take your time, let your wrist take its natural course. Don't worry, you won't have to finish drawing so many lanterns today. You can draw however many lanterns you want." When the Third Madam saw my trembling hands, she quickly reminded me.

I did as she said, and I only drew five lanterns in the morning, and when I was called to dinner, I was relieved.

However, it was not a pleasant afternoon. I walked out of the house. Even though the road was still muddy, the sun in the sky was still scorching. The temperature outside the house was at least 30 degrees celsius. As soon as I set out for dinner, Uncle Shen came out and pulled me into the mourning hall. The Taoist said that he was going to set up a training hall at noon.

Thus, I, the only direct descendant of my family, had to be present, and the three women followed me silently. What was going on? I stayed with her all morning, but even if it wasn't for me being in danger, I didn't even know how to protect myself.

After entering the mourning hall, I felt cool at first, but after staying for a few more minutes, I realized something was wrong. It was too cold in here, and I was worried that my grandma's corpse might rot in the heat.

"Third Aunt, it's noon now. Something is not right here …" I heard Uncle Shen whisper in my grandmother's ear.

"Go. Yu'er drew a few lanterns this morning. Bring one over, and also a brush. Let Yu'er take it with her." I know the first part of Third Aunt's words. I've seen the power of these lanterns last night, but why do you want me to take a brush?

I obediently took the pen. Uncle Shen had even added a cap on the pen to prevent it from dirtying my hands and clothes.

I was still burning some paper in front of the coffin when I felt that there was some heat in the room. It was just that the paper was burning very strongly today.

I raised my head and the fog suddenly turned green. A green face appeared in the air and smiled at me strangely. I fell to the ground with a "Ah!" sound.

"Use a brush!" After hearing it, I didn't know how to use it. Since it's going to be useful anyway, I tore off the pen cap, raised the pen tip and stabbed it into the air.

"Bang, bang, bang …" Grandma's coffin rang out again, and everyone was shocked. They rushed forward to support it, and as a gust of wind blew, the flames in front of the mourning hall flared up, and I saw the lamp go out again.

After everyone was in a state of confusion, everything calmed down again. I stared blankly at it all.

"Third grandma, we're not going to take care of this work anymore. It's too freaking scary. We might have let it go after a few scenes last night, but it's still noon today and these kinds of people appeared. Let's just forget about it." One of the Daoists in the lead, whose face was ashen, spoke while he took off his Daoist attire. The few people behind him were packing up as well. It looked like they were serious.

"That's fine too, I'll let you guys be frightened. You can go back first, but can you lend these tools to us to use? When the time comes, we'll calculate the rent together with the wages!" The third matron's words were very calm.

"No problem. The underworld knows the reputation of the three women very well. If you need any help, I'll go back and find my master." The leader of the Daoists asked the people in the back to leave behind the gongs and drums and the suona. Our Ji Clan's people are all looking at the Third Nanny. Are they really going to leave just like that? What about Grandma's training hall? Could it be that the Third Aunt knew how to make a training hall?

"Ji Feng, go inform Wang Yuan and ask him to bring some people here." After the few Daoists left, the Third Madam made arrangements. No wonder she let them go; she had a backup plan.
