Chapter 15: Lights Out

There were only Liu Laodao and me in Manghe Village, plus an invisible person who I could hear but couldn’t see.

Liu Laodao is not here, and the person who reminds me in this way will naturally be invisible.

After being together for a year, I went from being afraid of her at the beginning to hating her and then getting used to her. During these changes, trust between us was also established.

When I saw the words in blood, my first thought was that there was something wrong with He Fakui's body. Excavate it, so naturally I was asked to dig out He Fakui's body.

It's just that in the middle of the night... I hesitated a little, and the red on the paper spread again, forming a big word "kuai".

Now I didn't hesitate any longer, I quickly took Liu Laodao's gourd, put on my coat, grabbed a shovel and went straight to the mountainside.

On the way, I heard the long-lost footsteps, and I knew they were coming from behind, so I was no longer afraid. I was just a little confused, why didn't she come out of the hospital, and instead told me in writing?

I didn't have time to delve deeper, as I walked downhill very quickly, and soon I arrived at the cemetery.

As soon as we entered the cemetery, the moonlight in the sky became superfluous and did not shine in at all.

I took out the only electrical appliance in the villa - a flashlight. It turned out that this thing was too old and the batteries inside were all worn out. After a few hard shots, it started to glow a little dimly.

Looking at the light that was not as bright as a firefly, I finally understood why Liu Laodao gave me the only electrical appliance, but he used a torch himself.

It was too late to get a torch now, so I could only bend down, keep the flashlight as close to the ground as possible, and search for He Fakui's grave.

The tombs in Longbei Mountain all have one characteristic: no monuments are erected, and there is basically no such thing as visiting the tombs.

Fortunately, He Fakui's grave is a new one, and I personally presided over it, so I know its approximate location.

After finally reaching the grave, I threw away the flashlight, took out a shovel in the dark, and dug hard. However, the shovel failed and almost took me down with it.

empty?

I secretly thought something was wrong, so I picked up the flashlight and threw it over. Under the weak light, He Fakui's grave turned into a big pit. New quilts stained with soil were scattered in the pit, and some burnt flesh could also be seen.

But the body was missing.

"It's too late! Go back to Yizhuang!"

Just when I was in a daze, a girl's voice suddenly came to my ears.

"It's you!" When I heard this voice, I wasn't nervous, but was ecstatic.

A year ago, when I was holding a wake for my mother, this voice reminded me.

"Can't you see?" I asked tentatively. But she said impatiently: "Go back to Yizhuang quickly. If you are late, it will be too late!"

Although she didn't answer, I was already sure that she just couldn't see.

In the past year, except for laughing happily when she teased me, she never said a word to me. I never thought that she was the girl who saved me.

I was in the cemetery, the wind was howling, but I didn't feel scared, instead I felt happy.

I threw the flashlight away and it fell on the quilt where He Fakui's body was wrapped. I didn't pick it up and ran towards Yizhuang in the dark with the shovel.

You can't see that I'm anxious, but I'm not very anxious. What's more, even if I'm walking uphill, I can't have the same speed as when I'm going downhill. Along the way, I'm like a quacking little duck. One moment I ask her what her name is, and the other

I asked her why she didn't talk to me in Yi Zhuang, and then asked her where she lived.

As a result, she said a few words to me in the cemetery and then stopped talking. As we approached Yizhuang, the sounds of my footsteps disappeared.

I felt like she was afraid of something in the yizhuang, so she didn't dare to come out.

I was thinking about what it could be, and planned to find it and throw it away. I would ask her to talk to me when the time came. But when I looked up, I saw that it was dark in the Yi Zhuang, and the five-element lamp was out?
