Chapter 167: The Red Coffin and the Coffin Grabber
Sure enough, things were just as Hao Lang and they thought, and then, around this small tea-rich village, Zhang Fangtong's story slowly unfolded.
According to Zhang Fangtong, in fact, in his impression, his family was very rich when he was young, so he is not a self-made doer, but a rich second generation who is good at pioneering. At this point, his son Zhang Doudou really follows him.
Although his hometown is in Suzhou and Hangzhou, in fact, Zhang Fangtong's impression is not very familiar with that hometown. The reason is that when he was young, his family had actually moved to Sijiu City, so Sijiu City was his real hometown, and that hometown was just a place to vacation with his parents during the winter and summer vacations every year, more like a playground or resort that was not so fun.
In his memory, that old home was not even as simple as being fun, and even had some horrors.
The house of the hometown is a three-story building, which is a common garden for large families in the south of the Yangtze River, with a house in front and land in the back, a rockery pond in the yard, a pavilion and a corridor, all of which are available, and the construction is very chic.
But for some reason, such a house that was supposed to be vibrant was painted red, and it was not that ordinary brick red, but that kind of particularly bright blood red, as if the blood had been splashed on the front and back, left, right, and right of the house, and it looked even terrifying.
If you are not familiar with this place, you will be scared out of heart disease when you suddenly find this building when you pass by here at night! The houses in the ghost movie are not so scary!
This house left a lot of shadows on Zhang Fangtong's childhood.
In fact, it was not only Zhang Fangtong, Hao Lang remembered when he said this, when Zhang Doudou was in elementary school, he seemed to have really said such a thing to Hao Lang, saying that he went back to his hometown for the first time during the winter vacation for the New Year, but the house in his hometown was red, and he could hear crying at night, which was particularly scary.
It seems that this house has fundamentally affected the childhood of several generations of the Zhang family!
And when Hao Lang was thinking about these things, Zhang Fangtong also continued. In fact, it was not only the house that made him feel scary, but also the crying, which became very noticeable before the night.
In fact, it can't be said to be a cry, to be precise, it should be a very strange sound. The sound is a bit like the suffocating gasp of a person after being pressed the chest, and it is also a bit like the kind of business of using fingernails to buckle the wall or scrape the glass, in short, it is very frightening.
And after this kind of madness gathers together, it becomes a cry in everyone's hearts.
In fact, crying is not only at night, but can also be heard during the day, but because it is covered by the noise of various worlds, it is not so clear.
No one said exactly what the cry was, some people said it was a cloister in the yard, but in fact, after a special setting, as soon as the wind blows, it will make a "sigh" sound, like a whistle, which is very good. It's just that the courtyard was built hundreds of years ago, and to this day, the special settings inside have long been destroyed, and no one will repair them, so the sound has changed, and it has become a cry.
There are more subtle theories, all of which have to be regarded as a story.
Legend has it that more than 100 years ago, the Zhang family was an ordinary businessman in the local area, who opened a coffin shop, which was a dead man's business.
At that time, there was a bandit trouble in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the bandit led by him was a big man called "Red Coffin", the reason why he had this nickname was because the big man was ruthless and ruthless, and he didn't blink an eye when he killed people, and the blood of the people who died under his hands could dye the coffin red.
However, no matter how black the hands are, no matter how hearty they are, the bandits are a rabble after all, and after they really encounter the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers, they will be crippled immediately. With the remnants of the troops, the "Red Coffin" fled all the way, and finally fled to the Zhangjia Village where the old Zhang's family was located.
When he fled, the "red coffin" brought a lot of treasures, but the most important thing was a nanmu that he snatched from the home of a tycoon in Jiangnan. This nanmu is blood-red, nearly thirty meters high, and wide enough for three adult men to be able to embrace. Originally, this Nanmu was purchased by the businessman from Shu with a lot of money, and he was going to build a nine-story pagoda for his mother, but he didn't expect to bring someone to break into the red coffin of his house cheaply.
The red coffin regarded this nanmu as a treasure, so when he fled, although he only had more than 100 horses left, he also specially sent thirty-six strong men to be responsible for resisting this nanmu on the road.
When they fled, there were more than 100 people left, but by the time they fled to Zhangjia Village, the number was less than 50! And most of the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, and those who can really fight have already run away halfway through the road. Even the 36 strong men who resist wood are only 15 left here.
Seeing this situation, the "red coffin" also realized that his life was short, so after fleeing to Zhangjia Village, he directly found the coffin shop in the village, that is, Zhang Fang's business with his ancestors, and asked Zhang Fangtong's ancestors to make this Nanmu into a coffin as quickly as possible, and his "red coffin" was going to fight to the death with the chasing officers and soldiers at the gate of Zhangjia Village!
Someone had a gun in his hand, and the old Zhang family naturally did not dare to disobey the order, so after gathering the strength of the whole family and with the help of the villagers, they finally made such a red coffin for the "red coffin" in just over three hours before the officers and soldiers chased after them.
And in accordance with the requirements of the "red coffin", they also found a pair of longevity calligraphy books integrating many great calligraphers from the treasures in his collection, and then rubbed them on both sides of the coffin, and then engraved them little by little.
Seeing that the coffin was completed, like a work of art, the "red coffin" was also very happy to see this. However, who would have thought that at this time, a person suddenly walked in outside the door.
This person is not tall, just over 1.60 meters, but although he is not tall, he can be very strong. When he approached, as soon as he raised his hand, the coffin weighing several hundred catties actually let this person lift it up at once, and resisted on his shoulder, and at the same time he said to the people of the old Zhang family: "I borrowed this coffin, not in vain, and exchanged it with your family for five hundred years of glory and wealth!" ”
As he spoke, he was about to walk out. What kind of person is the "red coffin", the bandit leader, although he was surprised by the strength of this person, but when he saw that the other party suddenly came to grab his coffin, he was really angry and half dead, and he went up with dozens of subordinates to surround this person.
However, the result was unexpected, after being surrounded by the red coffin, this person did not see any nervousness, but took the lead......
