I froze on the spot, my legs could not stop trembling, and my brain was empty.

I was frightened to death when I recalled what happened last night.

It was a wild goose all day long, and I was blinded by a wild goose!

"Master, what is the matter with you?"

Li mother saw my state is wrong, concerned about a sentence.

I took a deep breath, smiled and shook my head. "Nothing, I just had a dream."

The circumstances are unclear, and I can only console myself with a dream.

But this is something I have to find out.

I've been in the business for a year, and I've never seen anything so evil, let alone dead people suddenly coming to me in the middle of the night, and there must be something wrong with the whole thing.

I definitely don't believe in ghosts.

When I came to the funeral hall, I put on my mourning clothes and was ready to cry out for mourning, but I found that the children had disappeared yesterday.

I asked Li mother, Li mother told them to go home last night.

I frowned and shouted, "What! Home!"

Seeing me like that, Li's mother was startled and asked quickly, "Master Chen, what's the matter with you?"

I shouted, "Do you understand the rules? No one who has attended a mourning service is allowed to leave within seven days of a person's death, or there will be a big problem!"

"Huh? Is it that serious?"

Li mother froze, completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

With a sigh, I opened my mouth: "Alas, you have broken the rules ah, if I knew you even don't understand the rules, how much money I won't come, this is good, all finished!"

I said things very seriously on purpose, just to impress them.

Luckily, I got it.

After hearing my serious words, Li Mother and others were so scared that they turned white and asked me on the spot if there was a way to save me.

I sold a secret, did not say directly, but observed the expressions of the people around me, hoping to find something.

Unfortunately, I didn't find anything.

I told Li Mother, "If you want to avoid an accident, you must call back those children yesterday, and then I will lead them to bow three heads in front of the coffin, and keep the spirit for one night, then you can crack."

After listening to Li mother, look down strange seems to be thinking of something.

Then he opened his mouth: "Master Chen, you can call the younger generation back, but let the younger generation stay here for one night will not..."

I said, "I know what you're worried about, but I'm here to make sure everything's okay."

Li mother this just believe, went out to make a phone call, let people bring back the younger generation.

Before calling, I told her that when they came back, they should bring back some paper people who looked like children, and told them that the body shape of children must be the same as those young people.

She nodded to show that she remembered.

In the absence of the younger generation, the mourning naturally can not be held, have to wait for everyone to do, otherwise it is not respect for the dead.

I checked my phone, it was 3:00 p.m., and now all I had to do was wait for them to bring people and stuff back.

There were only three people in the whole hall besides me, and I wanted to get some information from the mouths of the three people, but when they saw me, they immediately bowed their heads and didn't even intend to look at me.

There is every indication that... A ghost!

This can't be easy. There must be something wrong.

At six o 'clock in the afternoon, several children were brought back by their parents, followed by three paper figures in the car.

The younger parents saw me and asked, "What do you mean? I broke the rules by bringing the kids home? I think you're talking nonsense. I've never heard that rule before. And what about the three paper men? And after the children's figures, I think you want to kill them."

The parents were so emotional, they were talking so hard, they wanted to kill me.

I did not pay any attention to them, but went to the side of a few younger people, reached out and touched their small heads, and then looked at the three paper people, compared with the younger people, indeed the same.

"The rules are the rules, can not be broken, if you do not want the child to get any disease in the future, honestly do as I say!"

I fooled them.

Parents' weakness is their children, and they don't want their children to get sick or have anything happen to them anyway.

"I tell you, if anything happens to the boy, we'll put you in jail."

Li mother see the scene is wrong, immediately open: "Don't quarrel, trickle is still here looking at us."

"Master Chen may begin now."
