Chapter 27: Haunted! (2)
All this can be explained by the survival dilemma in the countryside, it is not easy to live, but it is a relief to die.
So Chen Tianyu is just thinking about it, he won't tell anyone. There are some things that don't need to be spoken, let alone agreed.
The funeral procession stops at a flat place to rest.
Villagers scattered around to smoke.
"Ding, Ding, Ding......"
The copper bell continued to ring, people could stop, but the magic weapon could not stop, Luo Ming's expression shook slowly and indifferently.
Suddenly, Chen Tianyu suddenly shivered from the bottom of his heart!
He faintly heard a voice: the sound of some kind of skin cutting through a smooth, hard object, with that sour, goosebump-inducing frequency.
The sound continued, Chen Tianyu looked around, did not find the source of this special frequency, and everyone's expressions did not change.
Finally, his gaze finally fell on the coffin parked in the middle of the flat ground.
Concentrate and listenβ
The rhythmic sound of the brass bells could not hide the slightest friction, and someone in the coffin was scratching the planks with their fingernails!
Chen Tianyu was shocked, he subconsciously looked at Li Yiting, and found that he didn't react at all, just smoked silently.
If people who are more close to the deceased are prone to visual and auditory hallucinations, then Chen Tianyu is an out-and-out outsider.
Why could he hear it clearly, but his friends and relatives couldn't? Even the eight coffin bearers closest to the coffin were indifferent.
Chen Tianyu stood up in a daze, walked towards the coffin, and then squatted down in front of everyone, and put his ear on the cold curved wooden board of the pitch-red.
The sound of paddling was like thunder!
Chen Tianyu slapped the side wall of the coffin with his hand, and the scratching speed inside seemed to be cooperative.
Li Yiting jumped up like an arrow, and he looked at Chen Tianyu in surprise, his face full of doubts.
Chen Tianyu waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Yiting, you listen." β
Li Yiting didn't understand Chen Tianyu's intentions, let alone why he was so out of shape, so he could only plead: "Fourth brother, ......"
Chen Tianyu ignored him, turned his head and said, "Yiting, the people inside are still alive!"
Li Yiting was full of anxiety, he tugged at Chen Tianyu's sleeve and motioned for him to leave first.
The sound disappeared and never sounded again, Chen Tianyu patted the coffin again in surprise, but there was still no movement. He stood up helplessly, only to find Li Yiting's panicked expression.
"Oh...... Didn't you hear?"
Li Yiting shook his head inexplicably, not knowing what he was talking about.
Chen Tianyu looked around, no one showed even the slightest interest in his behavior, and even Luo Ming on the side did not change the rhythm of the rattle.
Chen Tianyu glanced at everyone in amazement, and a sense of fear that he had never felt before instantly filled his entire body. He is not afraid of a bunch of people yelling, screaming and wailing, and he will not be surprised that this group of people abandoned the coffin and fled, even if they all rushed up and beat him now, it is normal.
But, calm, as always.
Chen Tianyu had no choice but to follow Li Yiting back to his place in disappointment, and then sat down to smoke.
He fell into deep thought, and when he came back to his senses, Li Yiting spoke.
"Fourth brother, are you too tired these days?...... It's the first time I've seen you......" Li Yiting stopped talking.
Chen Tianyu said bluntly: "Yiting, your third uncle may not be dead yet." β
Li Yiting looked at him in surprise, and said for a long time: "How is it possible?"
Chen Tianyu did not hide it: "I heard someone in the coffin scratching the wooden board just now. β
Li Yiting said suspiciously: "Really?...... But without air, how can people survive?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Tianyu glanced up at him.
Li Yiting patiently explained: "Fourth brother, you don't know anything. Don't underestimate this small coffin, it is made of precious rosewood, we are rich in pears here, this kind of wood is hard and dense, and it is already impermeable to water and breathable. In addition, we have a special wood glue here, and each seam will be coated with a thick layer before sealing the coffin, so ......"
He said with great certainty: "There can be no air in the coffin." β
For others, this kind of explanation would take a bit of a tongue, because the corpse transformation and haunting were not considered, but for Chen Tianyu, it was obviously unnecessary.
Chen Tianyu nodded knowingly, he would not doubt Li Yiting's judgment.
But he was even more sure of his discovery: Li Cun not only has special rules, but also has a unique self-confidence.
Where does this confidence come from?
Chen Tianyu didn't know, but when he calmed down, he even had an unexpected discovery that the villagers of Li Village seemed to be athletic, not like ordinary farmers working in the fields.
Li Yiting said worriedly: "Fourth brother, are you not very accustomed to our customs and habits here?"
"Perhaps. Chen Tianyu nodded.
