Fortunately, Boss Huang is also more knowledgeable and didn't be verbose.
I don’t know when I fell asleep.
I just remember that that night, the familiar dream appeared again.
This time, after crossing the sand dunes, my body once again entered the deep tomb passage.
When it got slightly brighter, Boss Huang got up from the kang.
Because I slept late, I didn't hear his movements, but Li Huaishan woke up and asked Boss Huang why he got up so early.
I was actually woken up by Li Huaishan's voice.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Li Huaishan leaning on the bed to sit up.
After a while, Boss Huang stepped over me.
He said, "I'm going to see Old Chen.
This old man probably didn't sleep all night." while crossing Li Huaishan.
After Boss Huang said this, I realized that there were only three of us on the kang, but old man Chen was not there.
Boss Huang moved quickly.
After getting off the kang, he put on his clothes and went out.
I looked at my watch.
Although it was still dark outside, it was already past seven in the morning.
Li Huaishan and I didn't hesitate and got up quickly.
Before I went to bed last night, I planned to get up early this morning and go to Widow Wang's house to take a look when there was no one on the village road, but I didn't expect that I overslept.
As soon as I left the bedroom, there was a window in the living room on the left.
I glanced out the window and saw old man Chen moving a Mazar and sitting next to Dahuang smoking.
Boss Huang stood next to him with his arms akimbo, and he was also taking a cigarette from his coat pocket.
Take out the cigarette case.
Originally, Old Man Chen's eyes fell on Dahuang, but as soon as Li Huaishan and I leaned against the window, he turned his head and looked towards the window.
As soon as he saw us, Old Man Chen shouted to us: "You can take care of the food this morning.
There is meat and noodles in the kitchen."
Eating is indeed a headache for me.
Although I don’t get hungry easily, I eat too much and it takes a lot of time and energy to fill myself up every time.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I had no choice but to give up my morning meal and take Li Huaishan out of the house.
Old man Chen blew out a big puff of smoke and asked me from a distance: "Why did you come out?"
I didn’t waste any time and asked him directly: “Where is Widow Wang’s home?”
Old man Chen: "That's the tallest earthen house in the north of the village."
I nodded and immediately called Li Huaishan out.
When they were about to cross the threshold, Boss Huang asked from behind: "What are you two doing with Widow Wang?"
Li Huaishan and I didn't reply and hurried out of the yard.
After a while, we heard old man Chen say in the yard: "Don't make trouble for others, just be honest."
Boss Huang: "Hey, Lao Chen, don't you let others enter your kitchen?"
Li Huaishan and I walked very fast.
When Boss Huang said this, we had already turned onto a small road that ran from the north to the south of the village.
Because I was far away, I couldn't hear clearly the conversation between Boss Huang and Old Man Chen, and I didn't know what they said afterward.
According to my previous assumptions, there were already a lot of people on the village road after seven o'clock, but after I came out of Old Chen's house, I discovered that except for me and Li Huaishan, there were no ghosts on the road.
At first, I was a little uncomfortable with the desolation on the road.
I always felt that this phenomenon was abnormal, but when I looked back, I understood what was going on.
It is already very cold in Xihaigu in December.
In this kind of weather, it is impossible to grow any crops.
The villagers who stayed on the loess slopes have already begun the annual cat winter.

At this time, most of the Everyone stood in front of the Tukang, waiting for the severe cold of the early morning to be driven away by the midday sunshine.
There was no farm work, and the weather was so cold that it could freeze your nose off, so only a fool would go out early in the morning.
I took Li Huaishan to the north of the village and saw Widow Wang's house at a glance.
The house was adjacent to the road at our feet.
It was obviously taller than the surrounding village houses, but not too high.
It probably meant that five or six more bricks were stacked than others when building the house.
Seeing that there was no one around, Li Huaishan and I didn't waste any time and climbed over the wall directly into the hospital.
According to what Old Man Chen said, Widow Wang had not lived at home for a long time, but there were several pieces of clothes that had not yet dried to dry in the yard of their house.
I took a look and saw that there were some men's clothes mixed in.
How come there are men's clothes in a widow's house?
Worrying that there was someone in the house, Li Huaishan and I leaned down, bent down and ran as fast as we could, and quickly reached the door of the house.
The two of us stood on either side of the door, leaning against the wall, and briefly looked around the yard.
It doesn't matter if we wait and see, both Li Huaishan and I broke out in a cold sweat.
It was when my eyes fell on the northwest corner of the yard that I discovered that there was a hut built with bricks in that location, and at this time, the door of the hut was slowly opening.
My first reaction was that there was someone in the house, Li Huaishan, who also leaned forward and seemed to be planning to rush towards the hut.
The door was opened with a wide gap.
I found that there was no one on the other side of the door, so I immediately reached out and pulled Li Huaishan.
After a few seconds, the door was completely open.
There was indeed no one at the door, but it was so cloudy in the room that it was impossible to see anything clearly.
Li Huaishan breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and pointed to the door behind him, intending to ask me if I wanted to go in.
The doors and windows of this house were tightly closed.
Even if I used my calming technique, I couldn't see what was going on in the house under the sight of the quicksand.
In desperation, I could only raise my head cautiously and look towards the house.
Glanced in the window.
As soon as my eyes fell on the house, my heart trembled again.
At that time, my sight passed through most of the living room, and I actually saw a pale human face.
When I looked into the room, the other person also squinted his eyes and stared at me.
Fortunately, I was still calm.
I immediately noticed that the eyes in the window were dull.
After taking a closer look, I realized that what I saw was not a human face, but a portrait on the altar table.
After that, I listened carefully to the movement in the house.
It was very quiet.
After such a long time, there was no sound at all.
I can basically conclude that there is indeed no one in the house.
I tried pushing the door, but it was locked and couldn't be pushed open at all.
Li Huaishan saw me pushing the door open and asked me in a low voice: "No one is in the house."
I nodded and asked him: "Can you pick locks?"
Li Huaishan rolled his eyes: "Brother, if I could pick locks, I wouldn't have to sleep in front of your house all night."
It's really a troublesome thing to not be able to open the door.
It seems that if we have time in the future, we should study the craft of lock picking.
The door couldn't be opened, so I could only turn my attention to the windows again.
The windows on the wall were still the teacher's shaft-type sliding windows.
The glass on the window frame was fixed with thin nails first, and then glue was applied to the edges. son.
Kicking down the door would definitely not work, as the sound would be too loud.
Although the sound of smashing the glass would be quieter, it would still alert Widow Wang's neighbors.

In desperation, I could only take out the toothbrush and start removing the glass.
First use your teeth to scrape off the lumps around the glass, then hold the thin nails used to fix the glass with your hands and pull them out one by one.
After struggling for more than a minute, I removed a piece of window glass.
Then I reached into the window, unscrewed the window nose, and opened the window.
When I was pulling out the nails, I still made some noise, but there was still no reaction in the room.
When Li Huaishan saw that there was no one in the room, he spoke to me confidently and boldly: "I didn't realize it, but your methods are quite professional."
I frowned: "You're not a professional.
If this is a sliding window, the two of us would have to smash the glass."
As I said that, I grabbed the edge of the window and crawled into the house.
Li Huaishan also frowned and said, "Listen to what you mean, do you still want to learn to pick locks?"
After I entered the house, I quickly scanned the situation in the living room and made sure there was nothing unusual before I said, "Study, you must learn."
As Li Huaishan burrowed into the house, he curled his lips and said, "Why should we learn from that?
We are not thieves."
"As long as it's a skill that can be put to use in the future, we have to learn it."
While I was talking, I had already walked to the altar table and looked carefully at the decorations on the table.
As soon as I entered the house, I smelled a strong rotten smell, which was the smell of rotten fruit.
The smell contained a bit of alcohol-like irritation and a bit of sweetness.
As I guessed, this smell comes from the tributes on the offering table.
Now I can no longer see what is in the tribute plates.
Some have rotted into water, and some are just black and furry messes.
The only thing that could be identified was a banana peel that had turned completely black.
There was also a brazier placed next to the offering table, with most of the pot of paper ashes and two unburned yellow papers piled lifelessly in it.
I pinched a little of the ashes with my hand, put it in front of my nose and smelled it.
Even though the local climate was extremely dry, the ashes were still somewhat damp, and there was still a rotten smell of fruits.
It was probably that when the fruits were rotting, the rot flowed down the corner of the table into the brazier.
At this time, Li Huaishan also came over.
He looked at the portrait on the altar table and asked me, "Is this man the wife of Widow Wang?"
I threw away the ashes in my hand, clapped my palms, and said to Li Huaishan: "I'm afraid the news Old Man Chen got is different from the actual situation."
Li Huaishan said "Ah" and asked me what I meant.
I pointed to a laughing shrine in the corner of the room: "The portrait should have been placed there originally.
It was probably during the Ghost Festival that Widow Wang set up an offering table and moved the portrait out in order to pay homage to her deceased husband.
The brazier and tributes were also brought out.
Prepare for Ghost Festival .
You see these tributes are so completely rotten, it means that Widow Wang has not touched the things on the table since the Ghost Festival, or she has no ability to put away the things on the table.
In other words, she has not touched the things on the table since the Ghost Festival.
It was crazy that day.”
After hearing what I said, Li Huaishan was stunned at first, and then smiled: "Are you possessed by a ghost or something?
Why are you suddenly engaging in reasoning?
Have you read too many detective novels recently?"
Seeing his playful and slutty look, I immediately got angry and said, "Stop being such a hippie and tell fortunes.
Please be more serious
