As Fang Ming's words came out, the faces of several of the relatives of the deceased changed suddenly, and they hurriedly ran towards the coffin, directly pushing the coffin open.

The moment the coffin was pushed open, everyone present saw the situation inside the coffin clearly, and an uproar broke out.

In the coffin, an old man was lying there on his side at the moment, his face was pale, and the oxygen mask that was originally inhaled in the water also fell to the side, and the old man's hand trembled and tried to grab the oxygen mask, but he didn't succeed.

"Dad!"

The deceased's children looked nervous and hurriedly helped the old man up.

"It's really not dead. ”

"With an oxygen cylinder, isn't this suspended animation?"

These villagers were angry, feeling that the Zhang family was deceiving them, and the old man of the Zhang family did not die at all.

"What is this family doing, this old man is not dead and puts the old man in the coffin?" Chen Ze was also happy, this was still a situation he had never encountered.

"I have heard of a situation where there is a custom in some places, that is, when some old people reach a certain age, in order to let the old people continue to live, they have to perform a fake burial custom, so that the ghosts in the underworld think that the old man is dead, so that they can deceive them into living for a long time. ”

Hua Ming is talking about what his father Hua Borong once saw, when he was young, Hua Borong was collecting antiques, traveled to many places, and saw many special customs, this fake burial is one of them.

"Second Zhang, aren't you fooling around? Why don't you hurry up and pull Uncle Zhang out and find a doctor to see if there is any problem. ”

Wang Guodong didn't know whether to cry or laugh, the Zhang family had dumped the whole village, and he also helped the Zhang family to handle the funeral.

"Village chief, we can't help it. ”

Zhang Lao Er also looked helpless, "We don't want my dad to suffer by doing this...... It's going to be my dad's turn soon, and we can't help the village chief. ”

Hearing Zhang Laoer's words, Wang Guodong's face changed, and then he sighed heavily, "Okay, don't talk about it, take Uncle Zhang back." ”

The Zhang family went back with the old man, and although the villagers were dissatisfied, they all dispersed one by one, however, at the intersection not far away, a rickety figure stood there, saw all this clearly, and finally turned around and left slowly.

"Guodong, there is a guest at home, do you remember the girl of the second girl?"

When Wang Guodong heard his wife's words, he noticed Fang Ming and the others, and finally his eyes fell on Zhang Shuqi.

"That little girl from Yapo's house?"

"Uncle Wang is good. ”

Zhang Shuqi smiled sweetly and stepped forward to say hello.

"It's really, girl, this is the eighteenth change of the female university, I almost can't recognize it. ”

Wang Guodong laughed, seeing his wife squeezing his eyebrows at him, and then looking at his son's peeking at Zhang Shuqi's actions, he knew in his heart that his son had taken a fancy to Zhang Shuqi, and his mother-in-law also had this idea.

"Come on, come on, everyone come in, it's too hot outside. ”

Wang Guodong beckoned everyone into the courtyard, but Fang Ming asked directly at this time: "Uncle Wang, why did this family let the old man fake his death, I see that what they said before seems to have something unspeakable. ”

Wang Guodong looked at Fang Ming, he had a deep impression of Fang Ming, it was this young man who opened his mouth just now to expose the affairs of the Zhang family, and if it weren't for this young man, Uncle Zhang would probably be suffocated alive in the coffin.

"This ......"

But even so, Wang Guodong still didn't want to tell the Zhang family, because it was related to a huge secret of their village.

"Who knows, every family has some unspeakable secrets, and I, as the village chief, don't care about so many private matters. ”

Wang Guodong didn't mention it, Fang Ming also smiled and didn't continue to ask, and he didn't tell Wang Guodong that the coffin would fall to the ground was not an accident, but someone did it on purpose.

The Wang family has two houses, one is this old house with a yard, and the other is a new house, and in the afternoon, Wang Tian's mother went to the new house to make a bed, and she was extremely enthusiastic and asked Fang Ming and others to play for a few more days.

……

At night, on the island, Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu walked on the beach with the sea breeze.

"Fang Ming, I always feel that something is wrong with the villagers on this island, as if there is some big secret. ”

Ye Ziyu is not a person of many words, but she is a person who likes to observe, and everything she saw on the island today told her that this island may be hiding a secret.

"A castle called the City of Sin, there is such a castle, there must be some secret in this village that outsiders don't know, and the coffin that happened during the day today is not an accident, but man-made, that person's purpose is either to let people find out that the coffin is a living person, or to kill the old man, so that the other party can change from fake death to real death. ”

Fang Ming's words made Ye Ziyu's pretty face look surprised, if you want to say that, then this island is really not simple.

The sea breeze came out, with the sound of the waves, but Fang Ming's ears suddenly stood up in the next moment, revealing the sound of listening carefully, and after Ye Ziyu was puzzled, his movements became the same as Qin Yu's.

In the sea breeze, there was a crisp singing voice.

"Sister Ocean is so beautiful, crisp bells, beautiful shells, beautiful children sitting in rows. ”

The sound of childlike nursery rhymes sounded, and Ye Ziyu wondered, is there still a child singing on this beach at such a late hour?

Fang Ming's gaze was staring in one direction, his pupils shrank, and in his line of sight, he could clearly see a figure standing there on the beach in front of him.

"We held hands together, counted the shells and watched the waves, the children in white socks went into the sea, and the children with dolls on their backs buried themselves in the sand. ”

"One, two, three, four, five, six, circle, clapping, hey, hey, hey, three more fell. ”

"One by one, one was sent away, one by one was locked up, and one of them has returned, come back......"

Sweet and innocent girl's voice, but the content of the lyrics made Ye Ziyu a little scared when he heard it, Fang Ming frowned, and ran towards the front the next moment, but when he ran to the position where the figure he saw before was standing, there was nothing there.

The sound of nursery rhymes has also disappeared, and the whole seaside is once again only the sound of waves, if it were someone else, they would probably think that they were hallucinating.

"Fang Ming, was a little girl singing just now?"

Ye Ziyu caught up and asked uncertainly, but Fang Ming shook his head, "I'm not sure either, but I'm sure now, this village is definitely not simple." ”

Because of the appearance of this nursery rhyme, Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu were not in the mood to continue strolling, and the two walked back towards the Wang family's new house, but halfway through, they saw many villagers suddenly running in one direction, including Wang Guodong.

"Fang Ming, it seems that something happened in the house of the old man who faked his death during the day, let's go and take a look?"

In the crowd, Chen Ze and they were also there, seeing Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu walking back, Chen Ze briefly talked about the situation, it turned out that not long ago, someone ran to the Wang family's new house to find Wang Guodong, saying that something big had happened to the Zhang family.

"Let's go. ”

Fang Ming nodded, and the group followed the villagers towards Zhang's house.

Zhang's house was in a corner of the village, the lights were bright at the moment, and there were many villagers at the door, but when Fang Ming and they arrived, these villagers were still talking about the door of Zhang's house, all with frightened expressions on their faces, but no one dared to approach.

Squeezing through the crowd, Fang Ming's eyes looked at the gate of the Zhang family, this look, the pupils of his eyes contracted, inside the gate of the Zhang family, the old man of the Zhang family who faked his death during the day was sitting upright on the ground at the moment, soaking wet, and the most strange thing was that the old man was wearing a pair of white socks on his feet.

The old man's eyes were wide open, and his old face was extremely distorted, as if he had seen a scene that made him extremely frightened and collapsed.

Ye Ziyu on the side of "Fang Ming" suddenly pulled the corner of Fang Ming, and then said softly: "Do you remember the nursery rhyme we heard at the beach just now?"

Fang Ming's pupils contracted, and he quickly recalled the lyrics in the nursery rhyme in his mind: "We held hands together, counting the shells and watching the waves, the child in white socks walked into the sea, and the child with the doll buried in the sand." ”

A little kid in white socks walked into the sea!

The old man was wearing white socks, and his clothes were soaked, as if he had been soaked in water, which was exactly the same as the one in the nursery rhyme, the only difference was that the child became an old man.

"This ...... How can this be?"

"Why can't you hide from it?"

The Zhang family had a painful expression on their faces, muttering to themselves there, but at this moment, Wang Guodong walked into the gate of the Zhang family, and Fang Ming hesitated for a moment and followed in.

"What's going on?" Wang Guodong asked.

"Village chief, after my dad had dinner in the evening, he sat alone in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, and we didn't pay much attention to it, but only ten minutes later, my dad became like this. ”

Zhang Laoer's face was pale, and his eyes flickered a little, "Village chief, my father told us when he came back today that he couldn't hide this time." ”

"Less gibberish!"

Wang Guodong interrupted Zhang Laoer's words, but at this time, Fang Ming's voice sounded, "We held hands together, counted the shells and watched the waves, the child in white socks walked into the sea, and the child with the doll buried in the sand. ”

The moment he heard the lyrics of the nursery rhyme recited by Fang Ming, Wang Guodong's face changed, and he became extremely ugly, staring at Fang Ming with his eyes, but Fang Ming didn't care, he just said: "This is what I just heard on the beach, Uncle Wang, I think you should tell everything, because it is very likely that someone will die." ”
