Wu Min

The owner of the hotel seemed not at all surprised that they came back so soon, and invited everyone to sit on the sofa in the lobby. The sofa can seat up to five people. The uncle respectfully let the boss to the single sofa, and he and a few others called for ancestor worship. One of them is crowded on the long sofa, and the rest are all standing around the sofa. From a distance, they think that some kind of illegal negotiation is going on here.

Surrounded by so many people, the hotel owner was a little uncomfortable, especially when many of the people around him were older than him, but whenever he tried to stand up, he would be pulled back by the crowd and pushed back on the sofa. After repeating it several times, the boss became calm and understood what they were going to do.

"Brother," my cousin enthusiastically handed him a cigarette and helped him light it, "Do you know anything else about the Sheng family's ancestral hall?"

Sensible people don't speak foolish words, and there is no need for my cousin to ask, the hotel owner nodded, took two puffs of cigarettes, exhaled smoke rings, and said slowly: "I am not the only one who knows about the Sheng family's ancestral hall. Everyone knows that it is our forbidden area in Zhanghe!"

The boss's slightly weird accent combined with the depression scene he had just seen with his own eyes, everyone couldn't help shivering, and some timid ones even regretted running all the way here.If you stay at home well, how can you encounter such troublesome things, it's Chinese New Year...

The uncle looked calm on the surface, and continued to ask: "Brother, tell us in detail, what's going on?"

"Oh," the hotel owner sighed, "I can't tell you what happened in detail. The ancestral halls are all outside the town, and no one can guard them all day. It seems that ten years ago, there were foreigners staying overnight. Hurry up, it rained heavily that night, those outsiders were afraid that they would not find a place to live in the town, so they parked their cars at the Sheng Family Ancestral Hall, hoping to wait until dawn before entering Zhanghe."

The haunted legend is from then on.

Listening to the hotel owner telling ghost stories about the haunted legend of the Sheng family's ancestral hall, Wu Min couldn't help but twitch his lips. Although it was something related to his family and should be taken seriously, he just couldn't help laughing. Two years ago, he must have thought that the boss was scaremongering. Even now, it is hard to say how much water is in this story.

According to the hotel owner, after those outsiders entered the Sheng family ancestral hall, they found that the ancestral hall was dilapidated. It seemed that no one had taken care of it for many years, and some tablets had fallen to the ground.After all, they were not their own ancestors, and they didn't dare to mess with the things in the ancestral hall. In order not to disturb the souls of the dead, they even lit a few cigarettes and placed them on the ground as incense sticks.

Just when they were drowsy and about to fall asleep, a few stretchers made of old-fashioned wooden fences suddenly appeared in the ancestral hall, which had nothing but memorial tablets, and were covered with white sheets. The white sheet, it turned out to be a person underneath!

The man's eyes were round, his face was black, and his lips were blue and purple. It looked like he had been dead for a long time.There was a violent storm outside, and there were farmlands for miles around, and there were no people, and the passers-by didn't sleep to death completely, so where did these corpses come from?Moved in by some mysterious force?Or did it appear out of thin air?

The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. They didn't dare to stay in the ancestral hall any longer. They ran back to the car in the rain, drove into Zhanghe overnight, and knocked on the door of the hotel owner's house.

"When I saw them, I thought I saw a ghost too!" The hotel owner smiled bitterly. The rain that night was very heavy, and there were occasional thunder and lightning that frightened people. The shops in the town were closed early. There are only three or two guests in the hotel, and there is no way to go out in heavy rain, so the boss closed the door.

When the door was knocked in the middle of the night, there was lightning strikes outside. The hotel owner opened the door and saw four soaked, pale-faced people, just as thunder rang, and he almost sat on the ground in shock.

After the four of them took a bath and changed their clothes, the hotel owner and his wife kindly boiled ginger soup and sent it up, and only then did they tell them about what happened in the Sheng family's ancestral hall.

"The town is not big, and the news spread quickly. We ordinary people just listen to the story, but the comrades at the police station heard that there might be corpses in the ancestral hall, so they decided to go and have a look. If it's not haunted, what is it?" Murder case, we must hurry up and find clues."

Speaking of this, the hotel owner's complexion was not very good, he pressed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, sighed for a long time before saying: "I really thought it was those outsiders who were talking nonsense. Who would have imagined it? It’s true that a few corpses were found in the ancestral hall!”

Everyone present also changed their faces. After all, it is their own ancestral hall. How unlucky it is to find a corpse!

Wu Min raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "Would it be exactly the same as what those people saw?"

The boss patted his thigh: "That's right, it's lying on a stretcher with a white sheet on it!"

After the body was discovered, the case became a criminal case, and those who first discovered the body became the main suspects. After in-depth investigation, it was found that these people had been dead for more than half a year. They were not from the town, and there was no one in the town. Seeing them, these dead seemed to appear out of nowhere, and died inexplicably in the ancestral hall of the Sheng family that had been neglected for many years.

After the forensic autopsy, it was confirmed that these people died of suffocation, and the others could not be found out. Even the identity of the deceased was a mystery, and the corpse of the deceased was naturally unclaimed. Zhang He reported the case to the city, and someone from the city picked up the corpse. Let's go, temporarily keep it in the morgue of the City Bureau.

Originally, the matter should have ended at this point, but the supernatural rumors about the Sheng family's ancestral hall have just begun.The morgues in the city cannot be used indefinitely. The corpses that have not been claimed all the year round will be dealt with uniformly, or cremated and buried or donated to relevant departments for experimental research. Half a year later, when the city leaders decide to clean up some unclaimed corpses, It was found that the few corpses stored in the innermost part of the morgue were missing.

How to dispose of the dead body is one thing, and it is another when it disappears. The leader was furious, and sent troops to conduct a thorough investigation. Finally, he found a horrifying answer from the video materials several months ago—the ones that were stored in the freezer. The corpse in the house walked out by itself!

On the night of the third day after the corpses were brought into the city, the lifeless bodies crawled out of the cabinet one by one. No one knew how they opened the closed freezer drawer. The video recorded the scene from the corridor to the main entrance , Those corpses lined up in an orderly line, passed through the corridor neatly, left the police station, and disappeared.

Half a year later, many video materials were lost, so the lost body could not be found.

Half a year later, two brave young men ran to the Sheng family ancestral hall to take risks. When they first entered, the scene was similar to what the four people saw when they hid in the rain last time. The ancestral hall was full of dust. Stumbling here and there, when they turned around inside and out and planned to go back home, the last one who was walking saw something in the corner out of the corner of his eye. Looking back, it was a few stretchers covered with white sheets!

A few brazen boys who thought they were daring ran back to the town, crying and calling their parents all the way, making the whole Zhanghe know that they stayed up in the middle of the night and went to other people's ancestral halls to make a fool of themselves, but they could hear what they were yelling. Everyone was silent.Everyone knew that the corpses that had been sent to the city had disappeared, and now a white sheet suspected of hiding the corpses was found in the ancestral hall. Normal people would think whether those missing corpses had gone back.

The police sent people to investigate overnight, and they were the same policemen who were in charge of the case. After seeing the corpses under the sheets, they all gasped. They really were the corpses that walked out of the morgue by themselves!

The corpses were transported back to the police station again, and after communicating with the city, the city decided to burn them on the spot to burn these strange corpses.The corpses were burned to ashes under the witness of hundreds of people, but not long after, they appeared in the Sheng family ancestral hall intact, even the standard configuration of stretchers and white sheets had not been changed, and it was unknown where these corpses were found. More stretchers and white sheets.

Including Wu Min, a shadow was cast over everyone's heart. No matter how much moisture there was, the haunting of the Sheng family's ancestral hall probably had nothing to do with it. Uncle pretended to be calm and took out the cigarette, but his hand He was shaking so badly that he couldn't even light the fire, and finally Wu Min took the lighter and lit it for him.

As the unlucky guy who saw ghosts the most times among the crowd, Wu Min was much calmer than the others. When everyone wanted to find a master to deal with it, he was still in the mood to ask for details, and finally asked a sharp question: "You mean, those corpses are still in the ancestral hall?"

The hotel owner nodded, then shook his head again, "I'm not sure, because the last time I dealt with those corpses was two or three years ago, now who in Zhanghe doesn't know that the Sheng family's ancestral hall is not clean, and who dares to go in without incident Look! Besides, the corpses can’t be seen at any time. People who have seen the corpses before said that there was nothing when they first entered, and they couldn’t tell how the corpses came out. How many experts went to see them? It's useless, the corpse is still coming and going, no one can stop it!"

These words seemed to pour cold water on everyone's hearts. It turned out that an expert had already dealt with it, but it still didn't work, so what should they do?

After telling the story, the hotel owner shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back. The rest of the group looked at each other and couldn't even speak. Finally, an elderly man waved his hand and signaled everyone to go back to the room and rest. Today It's impossible to go to worship, wait and see, whether to go home directly or find a way to deal with it.

Seeing that this group of people didn't insist on going to worship, Wu Min let out a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that these people would rush in as soon as their heads got hot. If there was something wrong with those corpses, they weren't enough for others. Gap between his teeth, no matter how powerful he is alone, he can't protect so many people.

Different from the bustle and bustle when they came, everyone was downcast, and they gathered together with their close relatives in twos and threes to whisper something, Wu Min guessed that they should all be planning to go home.Anyway, the ancestral hall is already like this, it's no big deal if they don't care about it, but it's easy to cause trouble if they manage it.

But they wanted to retreat, but they might not succeed. That night, when everyone was asleep, all the members of the Sheng family who came to worship this time, including Wu Min, had a dream. They found the dilapidated Sheng family ancestral hall and several corpses lying under the white sheets.

"what!"
