The rain, the drenching rain, the rain that evokes lingering thoughts, the disgusting rain... Xiao Qin has an umbrella, which is almost the only luggage he has, but he can't keep walking like this.Even if he didn't need shelter, neither could the fluffy young bird in his arms.Although there was almost an urgent need for a place to stay, the stubborn Xiao Qin still chose to stay away from the place where the crowds lived.

Although picky, Xiao Qin still found a more ideal foothold.It was a detached house on the edge of the village, away from everyone else.There are messy stone monuments in the courtyard.Xiao Qin stepped forward to take a closer look curiously, and found that they were all carved and unfinished tombstones.

"It's interesting..." The corner of his mouth curled up like this, and he touched the little furry thing in his arms with the hand that didn't hold an umbrella. The baby bird's warm body temperature made Xiao Qin feel warm from the bottom of his heart.Having made up his mind, Xiao Qin knocked on the closed door.

Inside the room was an oil lamp that flickered on and off. Under the oil lamp was a shirtless man who was seriously engraving a stone tablet in his hand.Sweat trickled down the undulating muscles of his back, but it didn't affect the work in his hands in the slightest.He was so focused, as if the wind and rain outside and the knock on the door had nothing to do with him.I thought that the person who knocked on the door would tactfully leave if he didn't get an answer, but he didn't expect that the person who knocked on the door seemed to be quite stubborn, and he meant that he would never give up until he knocked on the door.Although he still didn't want to open the door, the sound of knocking on the door really made people feel a little annoyed. Throwing down the tools in his hands, the mason opened the door with a bit of anger.

"I'm passing by, and I want to spend the night here." Putting away his umbrella, Xiao Qin raised his eyebrows and sized up the menacing mason.

"I want to stay overnight. There are many people in the village ahead, so it's not convenient for me." After talking about the stonemason's closing the door, Xiao Qin slipped in through the crack of the door like a fish.

"Stop for me." Opening his arms to stop Xiao Qin, the mason, who obviously had an absolute advantage in both height and physique, looked down at Xiao Qin contemptuously.

"I said that if I want to stay with you, I must stay with you." He was quite dissatisfied with the mason's contemptuous expression, and anger gradually rose from Xiao Qin's heart.

"How could there be someone as unreasonable as you?" The mason raised his lips. "It's your idea that you want to stay overnight, and it's my decision that I don't want you to stay."

"Why? Are you doing something shady?" Xiao Qin sneered and raised the corners of his mouth.

"There's nothing shameful about it, but I'm not the only one here." A smug smile appeared on the mason's face. "If you want to stay, you have to be with them." Xiao Qin was puzzled by the unconcealable pride in Mason's eyes. Following his gaze, Xiao Qin finally understood the reason—they were not the only ones in the room. There are several "people" lying down.Red coffins, black coffins... the coffins that shouldn't appear in ordinary people's homes look weird and chilling under the flickering lights.

"Why, you want to scare me away like this?" Xiao Qin raised his eyebrows. "pity……"

"Why, aren't you afraid?" The mason looked at Xiao Qin with a playful smile on his face.

"I'm not afraid, why should I be afraid? The dead may not always come back to life, but have you ever seen a living person who is immortal?" Xiao Qin found a stool and sat down.

"I didn't expect you to be interesting..." Mason also felt that the unreasonable young man in front of him seemed a bit pleasing to the eye. "Do you know that it is because of what I do that the people in the village are afraid of me and stay away from me?"

"Hehe, the longing for life... really makes people have to admire..." Xiao Qin pursed his lips and sneered. "Some people are so afraid of death, but it's a pity they have to die." Xiao Qin's eyes slowly fell on the black coffin. "The black coffin, the people inside should not be dead..." Xiao Qin thought to himself.

"In this case, let's keep you for one night, and you will leave at dawn tomorrow." Perhaps Xiao Qin's remarks just now had an effect, and the mason finally let go.

"Then thank you very much." Xiao Qin just thanked him, but didn't mean to stand up and salute.

"Don't thank me first, I don't have a bed here for you to sleep in." The mason looked at Xiao Qin with a smile. "Since you and I are neither relatives nor relatives, naturally it's not easy to sleep together."

"It doesn't matter, you can just lend me this table." Xiao Qin didn't take it seriously for the stonemason's making things difficult.

"Well, you are pitiful, I can borrow you a set of bedding..." Xiao Qin's attitude surprised the mason a little bit, he was not considered a bad person at all, he suddenly felt a little guilty.

"Don't bother..." Xiao Qin's words were interrupted by something.Stopped and didn't continue talking, Xiao Qin looked at the mason with a complicated expression.

"You... heard that?" Thin beads of sweat oozed from the tip of the stonemason's nose.

"So you heard that too?" Xiao Qin bit his lip.

"What kind of voice do you think this is..." The stonemason seemed less confident when he spoke.

"Of course it's the sound of people knocking on the coffin." Xiao Qin said calmly, with a normal expression as if he was talking about eating and sleeping.

"So, someone faked his death and was mistakenly put into the coffin?" The stonemason eager to save people rushed over to pry open the coffin.

"Wait!" Xiao Qin shouted to stop the mason. "Who is in this coffin?"

"This... I don't know either." The mason scratched his head.

"Then why put it in a black coffin?" Xiao Qin fixed his gaze on the ominously colored coffin.

"I heard that this man was a foreigner who died of illness, and he had no relatives to take care of his funeral. It happened that there was an old man in the village who was over [-] years old. The black coffin he prepared for himself was not needed, so he took it out and used it for him. This person can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue." After thinking hard for a long time, the mason finally remembered the origin of the coffin.

"Since the coffin has been crucified, does it mean that the person has been dead for a few days?" Xiao Qin still couldn't leave the coffin.

"But... It is not uncommon for people to be resurrected after a few days of death..." Although the mason was a little hesitant, he did not completely ignore Xiao Qin's words.

"Anyway, I think there is a problem here, so it's better to be careful." Xiao Qin frowned.

"However, if a person really came back from the dead, he couldn't just let him suffocate to death in the coffin..." The stonemason hesitated and slowly approached the coffin.

"If that's the case, then you can do whatever you want." Xiao Qin stopped talking and watched coldly. "It's better to let this person who doesn't listen to my good advice suffer a little bit..." Thinking like this, Xiao Qin was ready to watch the play. "But... what if the guy inside is really powerful, and he wants to kill this person in one fell swoop?" After thinking about it, Xiao Qin rushed forward and grabbed the mason's hand.Although Xiao Qin was indifferent to people and didn't like to communicate with them, he didn't like the evil taste of watching a good-looking person die tragically in front of his eyes.

"You are..." Before the mason finished speaking, the coffin lid was pushed open with a "bang", and a white-haired hand stretched out from inside.

"This is... what's going on?" Xiao Qin dragged the stonemason out of the door before he could react.
