"What a strange man."

I looked at his back as he walked away and said to myself.

There are a total of about ten tenants here, and of course most of them work here. There are several factories, steel plants, and textile factories nearby, so there are also a lot of foreign people living around.

"What was he looking at just now?"

Thinking of this, I felt a little uneasy. Did he notice something behind me? Anyway, I have an indescribable feeling. When I saw this person, I felt that his whole person was a little mysterious, and I even felt a little scared. It's like seeing something that others can't see.

That seemingly sharp look was actually fear.

Maybe I'm just neurotic.

I comforted.

At this time, there was a smell of sulfur outside, and the smoke rising into the sky almost enveloped the entire courtyard.

"Ahem..."

This is really not a pleasant smell.

At this time, most of the tenants had already gone out, maybe because they had to go to work. After all, it was normal to work overtime at this time, and I vaguely saw the few people carrying the coffin outside.

Those people seemed to be Taoist priests invited.

Of course, according to the custom here, Taoist priests are usually invited to pray for the dead.

It is said that in this way you can live as a human being in the next life.

Those few people directly carried the coffin to the middle of the entire courtyard and parked it. There were burning paper and candles all around, making the whole courtyard look a little weird for a while.

I quickly closed the door.

"Something feels wrong." For some reason, I always have an indescribable feeling in my heart. I stood at the stairs on the second floor and looked down. I had a clear view. I could even clearly see the entire mist rising in the sky moving slowly on the river.

"It's unfortunate."

I stared down, as if there were several young people wrapped in white cloth to pay homage to the old man. Those should be his children. The yin and yang are separated in the blink of an eye, which is really a very sad thing.

It seemed that I saw a more desolate scene.

I can't help but sigh.

At this time, sleepiness was gone.

I have been reading books and browsing some work in the room. Time seems to fly by so fast. It is already afternoon before I even come back to my senses.

At this time, people were getting off work one after another.

Almost all the tenants have returned.

They also learned about the old man's death.

They all felt sad.

This funeral was held at night. The lights in the entire courtyard were turned off, and there were some torches around. Everyone stared at the coffin with indescribable emotions.

"Hey, how can a good person leave just as soon as he says he's going to leave..."

"That's right."

"I was talking to him yesterday, why is he gone now? This guy..."

"I don't think it's that simple."

"What's the meaning?"

The crowd murmured. "Who knows..."

As the Taoist priest muttered, the people below became much quieter, but it was strange that each of the relatives seemed to have heavy expressions on their faces, but there were no tears.

Not so much sadness as fear.

Yes, I discovered that what I saw on the faces of those so-called relatives was fear.

"them……"

I really don't understand why these people all have the same expression.

In other words, it was like seeing a ghost.

"Way to go!"

Suddenly, these two clear words came out of the Taoist priest's mouth, and then I saw the burning paper from the brazier under the coffin suddenly extinguished.

Maybe it was the paper that had been burning all day, but the smell was all around.

Somewhat suffocating.

"laugh."

Suddenly, the candles around the coffin were extinguished, and at this time, all the fire around it was extinguished.

It was dark all around.

"Light up."

In the darkness, there was a commotion in the crowd, and someone shouted.

But the lights didn't come on for a long time, and at the same time there was a scream below, and I was among this group of people.

I even felt the rapid breathing.

"What happened?"

the men roared.

"There's a power outage."

Someone answered.

"Damn it."

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a sound in my ears, and then I heard a terrifying sound.

Could it be that the coffin collapsed?

"boom!!"

There were a lot of sounds, and I even heard screams of people running for their lives, and they were also mixed with the voices of the Taoist priests. It seemed that something unexpected had happened.

It was pitch black all around and nothing could be seen.

Only sporadic light in the distance can still see the face of the city.

The place seemed completely forgotten, with only fear surrounding each of us.

"Dad, you must not..."

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting something heartbreakingly.

"Bang!"

The sound coming from inside the coffin was even louder.

Moreover, I clearly heard a pair of hands constantly grabbing some wood, making a sizzling sound.
