Chapter Nine, Duan Gong has died

Uncle Biao reassured me, saying: "Do not be anxious for now"

The moonlight cast down, creating mottled shadows of trees at the village entrance, subtly adding an air of eeriness to the atmosphere.

I also called out to my uncle, our voices echoed in the night without any response

Uncle Biao's voice is very harsh; anyone who hears such a fierce voice from him would probably not dare to show their face.

Uncle Biao held a flashlight, illuminating the corpse hanging from the beam. I clearly saw the face above, which was eerie, grotesque, and decayed

"Go in and take a look." The voice of my uncle echoed in my ear. After he finished speaking, he did not delay and walked inside.

Did you confirm that you met with Lord Duan this evening

The overall impression is quite unfavorable

Uncle Biao is still doing well, appearing relatively calm

Upon thinking of this, I suddenly couldn't help but gasp in shock, my complexion instantly turning pale as death. I found myself feeling a surge of anxiety, with beads of cold sweat forming in the palms of my hands

I watched it a few more times before finally confirming: "It is him."

Standing at the entrance of the Duan Gong, my uncle held a pig slaughtering knife, exuding an intimidating presence

I instinctively shifted my gaze to my uncle, and we exchanged a glance. My uncle appeared relatively calm, with only a few fine beads of sweat emerging on his forehead, while the rest of him seemed quite normal

Uncle Biao pulled me and urged me not to vomit. He suddenly asked me, "Is this Duan Gong?"

I pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "I have seen it."

I do not know

The room, which was originally pitch black, was quickly illuminated by the lights

However, Uncle Biao suddenly said: "Xiao Yang, you have been following me to slaughter pigs for a while now. If it is a pig that has just been killed, will the pork spoil?"

A chill suddenly ran through my heart, and I thought to myself, something bad is about to happen

Is someone trying to kill me and deliberately impersonating Duan Gong to deal with me

I can be completely certain about this matter

A turmoil began to rise within me, and a sense of fear was rapidly engulfing me

I called my cousin and simply expressed my concerns to him

After a moment of silence, I lowered my voice and said, "Uncle, what should we do now"

Upon entering the house and searching for a while, no trace of my uncle was found

I was afraid that my uncle might be in trouble. Seeing that the door wouldn't open, I was anxious and distressed, so I went up and pushed the door open directly

I have been contemplating that my uncle should be with Duan Gong, but when we visited Duan Gong's home, we discovered that he had been dead for several days. Therefore, the person currently with my uncle cannot be Duan Gong. If nothing unexpected has occurred, the person who is likely with my uncle now is probably an enemy of the Chen family.

Uncle pushed me aside and then shouted, "Duan Gong, if you know what's good for you, come out quickly, don't force me to go in and look for you myself"

Now, in comparison, isn't the body of Duan Gong similar to that of a pig that has been dead and decaying for two to three days

I wonder if my uncle is not at home either

What I did not expect was that as soon as my hand touched the door of the public office, I heard a somewhat "creaking" sound.

At that moment, I had no desire to look at what the corpse looked like. It was only after my uncle asked several times that I forced myself to suppress the urge to vomit and shifted my gaze upward. Although the face of the corpse was decayed, I could still vaguely recognize the outline and attire, which resembled that of the figure in the illustration, as being that of Lord Duan.

Uncle Biao has a very irritable temper, and I am somewhat worried that when Duan Gong opens the door later, Uncle Biao will stab him with a knife

Uncle is in grave danger

I actually hope that my uncle is not at home, because other than that, I am somewhat worried that my uncle might die inside just like Duan Gong did

The words of my uncle seemed to remind me, and I raised my hand to begin knocking on the door

At this thought, I suddenly turned my gaze towards my uncle.

This matter is truly nerve-wracking to discuss

Tonight, a crescent moon hangs high in the sky

When I arrived at my uncle's house, I found the front door tightly closed. I raised my hand to knock, but after knocking for a while, there was no response from anyone

I stood beside my uncle and couldn't help but speak up: "Uncle, do you see that shadow over there?"

Although we did not speak, in this situation, some things are self-evident, and we both know what the other wants to say

I made a sound but did not say much, and the two of us exited from the room of the elder.

My heart couldn't help but race, Uncle has never married in his lifetime and has always been very kind to us

The door unexpectedly opened by itself. Upon witnessing this scene, I froze in place. Just at that moment, a gust of cold wind blew in, brushing against my skin, and I couldn't help but gasp in shock, instinctively taking a few steps back.

Uncle was calling out to the cousin beside him

I glanced at my uncle, and he said to me, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and knock on the door."

If that is the case, then will there be more accidents if grandfather's body is buried in the coffin

Someone has died

Uncle Biao casually pointed the flashlight in that direction, and the moment he illuminated that shadow, my complexion instantly turned deathly pale, this, this ... ...

If a dead pig has decayed to this extent, it would take at least two to three days

When Uncle Biao said this, my mind was still in a haze. It was only after I heard him say this that I began to ponder it carefully and gradually came to my senses

Uncle comforted me, saying: "Don't be anxious for now, think carefully, where might your uncle be?"

Xiaoyang, please go find the switch and turn on the light

I stared at it for a few moments and almost vomited

Upon hearing my words, Uncle did not delay; we ran towards the village one after the other. Upon arriving in the village, I first went to my own home to confirm that my parents were safe, and then hurriedly ran to my uncle's house.

Uncle Biao asked me, his face bearing a strange expression, which made me feel somewhat uneasy in my heart

Uncle Biao came to help me resolve the matter, and now that he has gone in, I cannot delay either; I must go in together with him

Uncle, the door at Duan's house is not closed; could it be that they are not home

I do not dare to stay too long at Duan Gong's house, as my parents and my uncle are still at home and do not know the truth of the matter. Especially since my uncle is so close to Duan Gong, I worry that something might happen to him as well.

Not only in the palms of my hands, but also on my back, beads of sweat emerged densely.

I spoke with immense concern

There was originally a foul odor in the room, and for some reason, after turning on the lights, the smell became even more intense

It is not good, Uncle is definitely going to get into trouble

If Duan Gong has been dead for several days, then the person who helped us with matters before was not Duan Gong at all, but someone else. Now he is dead in the house, and no one has dealt with the corpse.

I heeded my uncle's words and without the slightest delay, walked to the door and raised my hand to turn on the switch
