Walking at the bridge, the old man asked me, "Do you know what's inside the coffin?" ”

I shook my head.

The old man seemed to recall something, and his face was very complicated, even with a hint of fear.

He sighed and said: "The people lying here are all former villagers, but for some reason, they have become a kind of half-corpse and half-ghost thing, and the resentment is very big, this kind of thing is very special, sleeping during the day and coming out at night, basically can't be eliminated." If you disturb them during the day, you must calm your soul with incense, and you must leave yourself a way to live. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Since you are a villager in the village, why did it become like this?" After so many years of corpse decay and free movement, is it a legendary zombie? As soon as he heard this, the old man's face changed greatly, and his breathing became short, as if he remembered something terrible.

At that moment, I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak casually.

After a while, the old man calmed down and said, "There are some things you still don't want to know for the time being, you just need to remember one thing, try to stay away from these half-corpses and half-ghosts, if you see them raise their hands, then you run, run as hard as you can, run as far as you can!" ”

I swallowed and asked, "What would happen if they looked up?" ”

"Raise your head?" The old man's face stiffened slightly: "You won't want to know, because no one has seen it, or rather, the people who have seen it are no longer there." ”

By the time we said this, we had already entered the deserted village, and the village party secretary and the villagers seemed to be a little impatient to wait, and saw me and the old man return.

The village party secretary hurriedly walked over and asked the old man in a frightened voice, "Master, what's going on here, didn't you tell us to take us to a safe place?" How is it so gloomy here, and ...... Every house in this village has a coffin.

Speaking of the coffin, the old man seemed to think of something at once, and said to the village party secretary, "Have you brought incense?" ”

Originally, I thought it would be no show, but I didn't expect the village party secretary to nod and say, "Yes, thanks to incense along the way, we have come here without danger, and there are quite a few." ”

"Hmm." The old man squinted his eyes and commanded, "Go from house to house and light three incense sticks at the gate, remember, don't go into the house." ”

The village party secretary squinted at the old man and wanted to ask something, but after all, he didn't say anything, just nodded and shouted to the villagers.

The old man took a deep breath and said that he would go to the place of the paulownia tree again.

I was a little shadowy, and I didn't dare to get too close, and the old man walked around the tree twice with a compass, his brow furrowed tightly, and his eyes stared at the maroon ground.

The old man squatted down and grabbed a little dirt in his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and just stood up, at this time a villager ran over panting, and saw the dried corpse hanging from the paulownia tree, and was half frightened to death.

At that time, I was so frightened that I turned around and was about to run, but I was caught by the old man and scolded, "What are you running, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Big... Division, it's not good...... Oh no, a lot of coffin lids have been opened. The villager stammered, looked at the old man in fear, and his body trembled.

The old man frowned, as if he had thought of something, and his face changed: "Quick! Seal the coffin! All coffins must be sealed before dark! ”

Seeing his expression, I was also frightened and quickly asked him what was wrong.

The old man's face was solemn: "There are too many living people's breath, those things will definitely go crazy tonight, if the coffin is not sealed in time, once it is night, all of us will have to die!" ”
