mine in my dream

Chapter 3 Come and Wake Up for Me

Li Yu searched on the map, and there is indeed a place called Fangcun nearby, and the bus goes directly there.

Fangcun is located at the junction of urban and rural areas. There are roads, street lights, and open shops inside. It is not desolate.The difference from the urban area is that there are many bungalows waiting to be demolished.

People in Fang Village live in bungalows, and as soon as they are demolished, they will be rich immediately.

It can also be said that this place is full of invisible rich people.

Li Yu was going to keep a wake tonight, so when he passed by the funeral supplies store, he bought paper money and joss sticks, and then asked the owner of the store if he knew where Uncle Zhao lived.

The shop owner pointed to an alley and said, "That's the second one on the right. Our surname is Fang, only his surname is Zhao."

Li Yu thanked the shop owner and took the paper money to Uncle Zhao's house.

The door was not locked, so Li Yu pushed the door open and went in.

After entering, Li Yu was a little dazed.There is no funeral shed or funeral bed in the courtyard.

All signs of death were absent.

Li Yu sniffed and smelled a burning smell.

He looked around the yard.

In the corner, there is a flickering fire, which seems to be an old-fashioned stove.There was an old man sitting right in front of the stove, looking like he was lighting a fire.

Li Yu was very disturbed, he called out tentatively: "Uncle Zhao?"

The old man didn't respond.

Li Yu asked again: "Is it Uncle Zhao?"

The old man stood up slowly.He turned around and glanced at Li Yu: "I am."

Li Yu was a little at a loss: This is different from what the nightmare world said, people are still alive, what kind of spirit am I?

Uncle Zhao looked at Li Yu: "Who are you?"

Li Yu faltered and couldn't tell why.He hesitated for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Do you know what an energy source is?"

Uncle Zhao's eyes suddenly became strange.

Li Yu felt that there was something to this matter.

Suddenly, Uncle Zhao pointed to the black plastic bag in Li Yu's hand: "What's inside?"

Li Yu quickly hid the plastic bag behind his back: "It's nothing."

Uncle Zhao jumped in front of Li Yu with a stride, so fast that Li Yu was startled.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he snatched Li Yu's plastic bag, and then hurriedly tore the bag open.

The paper money slammed and scattered all over the ground.

Li Yu was a little embarrassed: "I didn't buy this thing for you. No, I was passing by... Yes, I came in to ask for directions."

Grabbing the paper money, Uncle Zhao suddenly stared straight at Li Yu with a strange smile on his lips: "Are you here to keep watch for me?"

Li Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Zhao swayed, fell to the ground, and did not move anymore.

Li Yu panicked a little: "Master Zhao, are you okay?"

He squatted down and pushed Uncle Zhao's face, feeling that his body was cold, even a little stiff.

Li Yu's heart was pounding, he turned on the flashlight on his phone, and took a photo of Uncle Zhao.

Saw a face full of corpse spots.

He is long dead.

Just standing here, talking and laughing.

Moreover, he seems to know that someone needs to keep watch for him?
Li Yu broke out in a cold sweat.

What happened tonight was too evil, beyond cognition.

Li Yu wanted to escape, but thinking about the energy source and his father's illness, he gritted his teeth and stayed.

Nightmare World once reminded Li Yu that there are risks in keeping vigil at night, so keep quiet and don't be discovered.

Li Yu decided to make do with it tonight.Wait until dawn to get the energy source, and then help Uncle Zhao call the police.

"Wake up, I'll keep watch for you."

Li Yu entered the house, moved out the simple wooden bed, and lifted the old man onto the bed.Another piece of yellow paper was placed on his face.

This is considered a coffin.

Four bamboo poles were tied to the corners of the bed, and a sheet was placed on top of it, which could barely be regarded as a spiritual shelter.

A tattered iron basin, with some paper money thrown into it in a mess.

It's shabby, it's shabby, but at least there's something there.

Now Li Yu just sits and waits for dawn.I hope that the Nightmare World will keep its promise and let him get the energy source, and wait until the hanging fruit.

Time passed by, and soon it was midnight.

In the middle of the night, a person guarding a dead body, the atmosphere is really terrifying.

Li Yu didn't feel cold, but kept shivering.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him.

Li Yu turned around abruptly, and saw two or three people coming in with paper money.They bowed their heads hard, hiding their faces in the darkness.

"You're also here to express your condolences?" Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

In a place like this, it's nice to have a company or two.

Li Yu wanted to say hello to them, but the moment he opened his mouth, he was startled and quickly closed his mouth.

Uncle Zhao has no children and no one to guard his spirit. Who are these people?

What's more, no one knows about Uncle Zhao's death except himself.

"There are risks in vigil at night, so keep quiet and don't be discovered."

Li Yu thought of this sentence, and subconsciously wanted to hide it.

But the few people who came to express their condolences suddenly raised their heads, took a deep look at him, and then grinned.

"These guys are not human, at least not normal." Li Yu's head buzzed, and this idea immediately appeared.

He subconsciously wanted to run away, but the door was blocked by these three weirdos, and there was no way to escape.

He glanced at the shovel standing in the corner, wondering if he could break out with this thing.

However, a strange thing happened. After the three weirdos smiled at him, they looked away at Uncle Zhao who was lying on the coffin.

Li Yu was slightly taken aback: What does this mean?You obviously found me, why are you indifferent?Are they also ordinary people who come to condolences?No, these people are obviously full of evil spirits.

Li Yu observed the three people calmly, and soon discovered the problem.

The three of them smelled like fireworks, as if they had just returned from visiting the grave.

By the candlelight in the coffin, Li Yu saw that all three of them were exhausted, with sunken eye sockets, crumpled clothes and dull expressions.

Li Yu looked at himself. These days, he was in bed with the hospital, and he was exhausted to the extreme. He slept on the simple bed with his clothes on at night, and his clothes were all wrinkled.

"Could it be... I was regarded as the same kind by them?" Li Yu was ecstatic in his heart.

He casually put the paper money on a broken table, trying to find a chance to slip away.

As a result, the three weirdos all turned around and stared at him with weird eyes.It seems that an outlier has been found.

Li Yu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that he must have done something wrong, which aroused the suspicion of these three weirdos.

He tried to calm himself down and looked around.Later, he found that each of the three weirdos was holding a handful of paper money in their hands.

Li Yu quickly grabbed the paper money on the table and held it tightly in his hand.

The eyes of the three weirdos finally moved away.

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, three strange men surrounded Uncle Zhao's body.Together they supported the corpse and sat up.

Uncle Zhao has been dead for a while, and his body is stiff.These three weirdos used brute force to make Uncle Zhao sit up.

Li Yu heard a crackling sound from the corpse, as if the bones had been broken.This voice made Li Yu terrified.

He wanted to get out of this damn place.

However, he cannot go.

The energy has not yet been obtained, and without energy, there is no hanging fruit.

Stay, stay vigil, this is the only chance to save my father.
