Chapter 66: In the Coffin
After inspecting Ma Xiao's corpse, I became more and more suspicious.
Judging from the surface, Ma Xiao died last night, and the time of death should be not long after I left.
Wasn't he doing that with a woman at the time?
Could it be that the woman is ......
He walked out of the door, pulled the blind man aside, and told him what he had seen at the gate of the courtyard last night.
The blind man's rare words are concise and to the point, saying that there is water in the courtyard and the front of the door is dry, that is, the house is flushed, and the lord evil enters the house.
After speaking, he pointed to the courtyard and said: Now that the stagnant water has subsided and the front of the door has returned to normal, it is because the family is dead, and there is no such thing as rushing.
I hesitated and asked, "It's possible for ghosts to leave traces when they harm people, but haven't you heard that they will leave footprints?" ”
The blind man rolled his eyes, looked at me, and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever seen ghosts?" ”
I was stunned.
But then it was like a lightning bolt in my head.
The eight people in front of the village can still be said to be 'suicide', but Ma Xiao was bitten to death alive and sucked his brain dry.
This is no longer something that ordinary ghosts can do......
When the word 'demon' came to my mind, I couldn't help but shudder.
It's not that I'm afraid I can't deal with it, as the old saying goes, 'when things go wrong, there must be demons', and if there is a demon, there must be something unusual.
But all 'insiders' know that once this situation occurs, it is not necessarily the demon that is terrible, but the 'abnormal'.
The third child of the village chief's family walked in with one person.
This person's eyes were red, as if he hadn't slept well last night, it was the old coffin maker in the village, Coffin Li.
The coffin Li didn't look at me and the blind man, and walked straight into the back room.
After a short time, he walked out again, but his expression was solemn and scary.
He stood in the doorway and thought for a long time, then suddenly turned to me and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But before he could say it, there was a sound of gongs beating outside.
The fourth son of the village chief's family turned around and said, "It's my father who has called a meeting of the whole village, let's hurry up." ”
I looked at the blind man, and the blind man nodded.
Just as I was about to leave, the coffin Li suddenly grabbed me and said to the fourth son of the village chief's family in a deep voice: "I want to talk to this gentleman, you can go." ”
"Do you know what it means to strike a gong? Then the whole village has to go to my house, and if you don't go, what do you mean? The third son of the village chief glared at him, with a domineering posture.
Coffin Li smiled, suddenly his face changed, he slapped him in the face, pointed at his nose and scolded fiercely:
"Little bunny, who are you talking to? You call your old man to see if he dares to talk to me like this? ”
"I'm ......" The third son of the village chief was stunned for a moment, and he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to step forward.
The fourth child stopped him, looked at the coffin Li, looked at me again, gritted his teeth and said:
"Third brother, Uncle Li has to be busy making a coffin for Ma Xiao. Our dad shouted... Go back first! ”
Seeing the third and fourth children walking out stupidly, I glanced at the coffin Li and gave the blind man a look.
The blind man rolled his eyes and stretched out his hand to me: "Give me the umbrella." ”
Without even thinking about it, I handed him the five-treasure umbrella.
The blind man stretched out the umbrella and shook it at me: "I'll take the umbrella, you wear a raincoat." ”
After the blind man and the others left, the coffin Li put the hat on his head and walked out without saying a word.
followed him out of Ma Xiao's house and came to the courtyard where he went in last night.
After entering the door, the coffin Li casually shook the courtyard door, walked straight to the bottom of a grass shed next to him, threw off the hat, and untied the coat. He took a dry tobacco pouch from the side and smoked it to himself.
I was aroused by him, so I took out the cigarette case and lit one.
At the same time, the situation in the courtyard was scanned.
At a glance, I saw two large lacquered coffins parked in the corner of the straw shed.
I suddenly remembered the situation when I first arrived at the old village chief's house yesterday.
At that time, the village chief's wife had just hanged herself, and the village chief asked the third son to bring someone here to carry the coffin, but only to bring back a coffin that was not even painted.
At that time, the third son of the village chief seemed very angry, and now it seems that it is obviously because the Li family obviously has a lacquered 'spot' for the coffin, but it is not given to him for the sake of the family.
But at the same time, I found something unreasonable.
Both coffins were covered with black lacquer, and the lids were covered.
The black lacquer coffin is for the burial of the dead.
The point is that the two coffins were painted, and although they were erected on four benches, the coffin lids were covered.
After the lacquer, the 'old house' (another name for the coffin) has become, and the coffin cannot be covered before the burial.
In the mountain village, the reason why the coffin Li is called the coffin Li is impossible not to understand this.
Now both coffins are covered, and that's not right!
The coffin Li smoked a dry cigarette in the rain outside, and suddenly asked me:
"Did you see anything last night?"
I hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
He took me to his house despite the sound of the summoned gong, apparently having something to say to me.
Judging by what he warned me yesterday, he should know what happened.
I don't know why, but he is showing signs of honesty now, and I don't need to hide it.
"What do you see?" Coffin Lee jerked back to look at me.
I was glared at by his fierce eyes, and I couldn't help but shudder, and I reacted, and said in a deep voice that I had seen the old man with a hemp pole when I entered the village yesterday, and I saw a man and a woman behind the window in their house last night......
"What else?" Before I could finish speaking, Coffin Lee took a step closer to me, looking rather anxious.
I rolled my eyes quickly, hesitated, stared at him and said:
"I also saw a policeman, he was a ghost...... What happened to the six policemen who came to the village before? ”
The coffin Li was obviously shocked, and even the dry tobacco stick fell to the ground.
It took a long time before he looked at me with empty eyes: "He still hasn't been able to go out......"
I don't know why, hearing him say this, I felt like I was stung by electricity, "What do you want to say?" ”
The coffin Li was stunned for a long time, and only then did a touch of pain flash in his eyes. His eyes slowly rolled to the coffin in the far corner.
Almost subconsciously, I walked over quickly, glanced at the coffin, and found that the coffin lid was so tightly closed that it was almost nailed.
"If you have the ability, help me take this child out, and I will repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life." Coffin Li said suddenly.
My body shook, and I subconsciously turned around, only to see that he was gone.
Only the cloak and hat were on the side, and there was a long-pole cigarette pouch and pot on the ground.
"Isn't it?"
I felt a hairbreak in my heart that I had never felt before.
The rain is still falling.
There was no one around.
I was the only one in the hut.
There were also two coffins parked on the side.
"You didn't die last night, it's a great power. I, Lao Li, beg you, take this child away, please! ”
A voice suddenly rang in my ears, and the tone was extremely earnest.
I stumbled on my feet, slid violently, and fell to the ground.
I could tell it was the coffin Lee's voice, and just like just now, he was talking to me right next to me.
But now he's gone.
I could tell that the sound was coming from a coffin next to me!
The sound came from the coffin, and the person was gone......
It took me a while to react, and I scrambled to my feet, reaching for the lid of the coffin on my side.
The coffin was heavy, but I was also in a hurry at this time, and I pushed the lid open half a foot in one fell swoop.
When I saw what was inside the coffin, I froze.
There is someone in the coffin!
The man's face was covered with a yellow sheet of paper, but it was soaked in blood.
From the shape of the face and the shape of the body, I immediately thought of a person.
Inside the coffin is the policeman who was bitten to death by a wild boar!
My mind was instantly confused.
This policeman died in the mountains, how could his body be in the coffin Li family?
And in a coffin?
Guo Sen and I were afraid that the corpse would be spoiled by wild beasts, so we hung the corpse on the tree, could it be......
I suddenly remembered that when I walked back last night, I was facing the coffin Li head-on, and he was bulging under his coat, as if he was carrying something......
Could it be that he found the policeman's body and turned his back on the village.
That's why I saw the ghost of that policeman?
Why did he do it?
He knew the policeman was dead?
The remaining five police officers ......
In the blink of an eye, I saw another coffin next to me.
I hesitated for a moment and walked over slowly.
I glanced behind me, then left and right, gritted my teeth, propped my hands on either side of the coffin lid, and lifted it up with all my might......
"Sir!"
"Bang dang!"
With a sudden shout, I let go of my hands, and the coffin lid that had just been lifted ten centimeters fell back.
I turned my head following the shout, and before I saw the main man, my eyes fell on the corner of the straw hut, and my whole body suddenly became numb.
A tall, gray-haired old man was standing on the side of the shed on a bench with one foot on one foot, holding a dry tobacco pouch in his hand and smoking.
Who's not a coffin Lee?
"Sir, my father asked everyone to go to my house for a meeting."
It was the boss of the village chief's family who came.
"Aang, got it."
Coffin Li replied vaguely, turned his head to look at me, "Let's go?" ”
"Goo."
The loud sound of spitting startled me.
"Sir, everyone else has arrived, you and Uncle Li should hurry up too."
The boss of the village chief's family held an umbrella in one hand, paused with the other hand, and the rough pole in his hand was quite kind.
"Then go ahead!" Coffin Lee smiled at me.
After speaking, he knocked the cigarette pot on the stool, threw it away, picked up the hat and put it on, and walked out.
The village chief's eldest family saw him go out and turned to look at me: "Sir, the meal is ready, let's leave quickly." ”
I was stunned for a moment before nodding at him.
After taking a few steps, he turned his face to look at the two coffins, only to feel that a heart had been raised to a height that could not be put back.
In the innermost coffin, there is the policeman who was bitten to death by a wild boar!
He was in a coffin.
That could be the coffin Lee carried him out of the mountains in the middle of the night last night.
But what about the other coffin?
Although it was only ten centimeters open, I could already see that the person inside was a coffin plum!
