Sky coffin

I followed my second uncle to the door of an ancient house.

The second uncle carefully pushed open the door of the ancient house and walked in.

The buildings in Wudeng Alley are extremely retro, and it is not unusual for an ancient house to appear here.

The second uncle's movements were very light and his expression was extremely cautious, but his reaction seemed a bit artificial in my eyes.

In my impression, my second uncle is an extremely stable person.

No matter what happens, he will be very calm.

But now...it feels a little strange to me.

Also, I have sent away all the ghosts in the alley, so how could there still be ghosts?

The wooden door of the ancient house was in dilapidated condition. Apart from the slightest cracks, all that was left were small wormholes.

My second uncle and I walked into the ancient house.

Walking through the gate of the ancient house, there is a huge stone screen inside.

The screen is carved with a landscape painting.

The landscape paintings are very delicately carved, but one bad thing is that the screen seems to have been artificially damaged, and it is dilapidated in many places.

Passing around the screen, what comes into view is a yard overgrown with weeds.

The scorched yellow weeds are mixed with tender green grass, and the pale moonlight pours down, making it look like it is coated with a layer of silver.

There is a towering locust tree in the center of the yard.

I was a little surprised when I saw this locust tree. There is something special in this small yard.

Why can't such a big locust tree be seen outside?

At this moment, I suddenly heard a whining sound.

I was slightly startled. It seemed like the sound made by a person whose mouth was blocked.

And the direction from which this sound came was from the locust tree!

My second uncle and I looked at each other, took steps, and cautiously approached the locust tree.

When we walked around the back of the locust tree, I was stunned for a moment.

It turned out to be Xia Xi!

Xia Xi was tied to a locust tree with tape on her mouth.

She had tears in her eyes and a look of grievance on her face. After seeing me, this emotion became even stronger.

I quickly untied her and then tore off the tape on her mouth.

Xia Xi fell into my arms and burst into tears.

"Liu Su!"

I patted her back gently and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, it's okay!"

What Xia Xi has experienced these days has indeed cast a huge shadow on her.

First he was imprisoned by his dead sister, and then he was tied here.

She had never experienced anything like this before.

Xia Xi sobbed in my arms for a while, and then stopped crying.

I reached out my hand and wiped the tears from her eyes.

She still hugged me tightly and refused to let go.

"Liu Su, I'm really scared, so scared."

She buried her head in my chest and choked with sobs.

I can only comfort with words.

After Xia Xi's mood stabilized, her second uncle asked from the side: "Little girl, who kidnapped you?"

When Xia Xi heard this question, her delicate body trembled, she glanced at me, and then lowered her eyes.

"I...I don't know..."

Seeing Xia Xi's appearance, I already knew the answer in my heart.

The second uncle said anxiously: "Little girl, don't be afraid! Who kidnapped you?"

Xia Xi still refused to say.

I sighed and asked, "Did my master tie you up?"

Xia Xi raised her head and looked at me blankly, wanting to deny it, but after seeing the look in my eyes, she nodded gently.
