Blown by the cold wind in the countryside in the early morning, I suddenly became more sober.

Meng Lao, what's wrong? What does it mean to "big things are bad"? The three villagers who were digging the coffin during the day suddenly got epilepsy, and then dozens of villagers involuntarily yelled at the southwest sky, and they didn't know it afterwards.

Could it be that Meng Lao was also subjected to the "magic barrier" of the things in the coffin?

With my extraordinary eyesight, I judged the direction, and then ran towards the southwest of the village, thinking that Meng Laodu was already in his eighties, and his health was not too good, as long as my analysis just now was correct, I might be able to catch up with him without waiting out of the village.

Who knew that he had been running out of the village and had not seen anyone, when a lightning bolt swept across the southwest sky, followed by a thunderclap.

At the moment when the lightning streaked across the sky, I saw a slender figure standing on the dam two or three miles away, looking from afar, like a ghost.

I gasped.

This person had his back to the village, obviously not Meng Lao, which made me even more confused.

At this time, it should be two or three o'clock in the morning, and this is a deserted outskirts of the village, and there should be no people.

After a moment of hesitation, the urgency to unravel my doubts overcame the fear that the dark shadows of the night had given me, and I took a deep breath and ran towards the dam. When I ran under the dam, I looked for the shadow again.

There's still a hair!

The sky was getting gloomy and gloomy, the lightning was thundering, and my heart was beating wildly.

As soon as I climbed the dam, it happened to be another flash of lightning, and I saw a man dressed in black standing next to the white coffin in the depression, and it was the tall and thin figure.

At this time, I could see more clearly, this person was more than 1.8 meters tall, and because he was thin, he looked more slender in the dark.

This figure is a little familiar!

I didn't know who the other party was for a while, and I didn't dare to approach rashly, until another lightning bolt crossed the sky, and it was like a lightning bolt in my mind.

This person turned out to be an uncle? How could he be here.

I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down and slowly crouched down on the ground, trying to see what my uncle was doing.

It was pitch black, and I could dimly see him circling the coffin several times, his hands still waving, as if he had sprinkled something on the coffin. I don't know exactly what he's doing, but I can clearly tell that he's stopped halfway through, as if something had suddenly happened.

The uncle stood in front of the coffin for a full minute, then walked straight to the north.

To the north is the Yellow River! There is no pontoon bridge in the river section of this area within dozens of miles, what is he doing by the river?

The depression was only three miles from the river, and it was so flat that I could not follow him, so I had to wait for him to go away, and then get up and come to the white coffin.

I saw a lot of cracks in the coffin board engraved with strange symbols, and the whole coffin board had signs of protruding outward, and it looked like something was holding the coffin from the inside.

It's a coffin! What else could be inside.

Thinking about it like this, cold sweat came down.

Hurry back to the village branch, just now I was in a hurry, the door was still open, and as soon as I walked to the door, I heard a deafening snoring sound from the house.

Seeing that Meng Lao hadn't come back yet, in addition to doubts, I also had a faint ominous premonition in my heart.

"Big things are not good!" "Big things are bad"

These four words flickered in my mind like neon signs, what do they mean? Until dawn, I didn't come up with a reason.

While pondering, I pricked up my ears to listen to the movement outside, but I never heard the sound of footsteps.

"Come out to eat!"

Wu Jinghan's shouts came from outside, and I woke up Han Jianjian and went out.

Zhou Laohan was ready, and the outside of the village branch compound was crowded with villagers from Donghu Village, and at the front of the crowd, there were more than a dozen children, both boys and girls, all wearing school uniforms printed with "Dongji Primary School".

There were also seven or eight strong men standing beside the gate, dressed from the village, carrying crowbars and shovels in their hands.

"Where's Meng Lao!"

Zhou Laohan and Tie Dan walked up to me, and Zhou Laohan asked softly.

"I went out in the middle of the night and didn't come back......"

I was just about to tell them about last night when I saw my uncle squeeze out of the crowd, his face still covered with frost and his eyes narrowed.

As soon as my words came to an abrupt end.

"Yo! Jianmin? You...... You come ......" saw the uncle, even Zhou Laohan, who was the village party secretary, was surprised.

"I'm here to help! This matter is related to the comfort of the whole village, how can you stand idly by! The uncle's voice was still cold, but his tone was calmer than before, and he didn't have the domineering momentum of the previous one, and the feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

"That's great! Great! If you're willing to help, I'm much more at ease. ”

I glanced at my uncle, and it happened that he was also staring at me coldly, with a strange feeling in his eyes, which made people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts, and I didn't dare to say what happened last night.

"Dude, that's right! People in the same circle should also do something for the village together. ”

The god egg said to the uncle with a smile.

Uncle Kenben didn't look at him, turned around and walked outside the gate.

Coming to the depression in the southwestern suburbs of the village again, the children in school uniforms stood around the white coffin according to the arrangement of the gods, and seven or eight strong men with tools were about to start, when they heard the gods' eggs shouting: "Don't move yet!" ”

Everyone was startled, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes were busy looking at him.

At this time, the god egg changed his previous appearance of kindness, and became hideous, suddenly as if he was a different person.

"What's wrong, Brother Ming?"

Zhou Laohan asked hurriedly.

The god egg ignored him, but walked straight to the white coffin, bent down to take a few looks, and his face suddenly became more terrifying.

"Who did it! Who did it? ”

The egg turned to glare at my uncle, his voice hoarse, and his eyes seemed to be about to spark, and then he turned and ran towards the village.

"Brother Ming—Brother Ming?"

This next week, the old man was stunned, shouted two sentences, and the god egg didn't look back.

"This ...... What's going on here? Old man Zhou turned to look at his uncle.

The uncle sneered: "The organs are exhausted, in vain!" It's okay now, you can open the coffin! ”

This makes me wonder, and I guess everyone present is also confused.

Before, it was the god egg who strongly advocated opening the coffin and moving the grave, but the uncle resolutely opposed it, and it was completely lost at this moment, which was really unpredictable.

Several strong men holding tools were also a little blindfolded, and they all looked at Old Man Zhou.

Zhou Laohan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Open the coffin!" ”

The cemetery is called the "Yin House", and according to funeral customs, the relocation of graves is a very important matter, especially in rural areas, and even more important than moving.

A few old men from the village hummed something in their mouths and lit a pile of burning paper in front of the coffin, which they called paper money.

I also grew up in the village, and I probably know a few old men who are doing a kind of funeral ritual.

Not long ago, I read a historical story that I don't know if it's true or not.

Talking about the legend about the origin of paper money:

It is said that after Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty invented paper, he made a lot of money for a while, and was known as a contemporary inventor, which can be described as fame and fortune.

Cai Lun's invention of paper is recorded in history, and anyone with a junior high school graduation certificate knows that it should be a real person.

But many people don't know that Cai Lun also has a younger brother, who is a lazy bastard, he saw that his brother made a fortune by making paper, his eyes were red, and he also wanted to catch medicine according to the prescription and make a fortune, so he drunk his brother and set out the method of making paper.

Who knew that his skills were not up to par, and the quality of the paper he made was too poor to sell at all, so he was angry, his eyes were staring, his legs were kicked, and he was dead.

Her daughter-in-law was crying! yelling that it was all paper, she was so angry that she took out all the papers she made at home and lit them in front of her man's corpse.

The worse the quality of the paper, the easier it is to burn, and all at once all the paper burns up, because of the light weight, it is blown by the wind at the door, and it spirals and flies.

The woman was crying with tears in her eyes, which attracted the neighbors to come and see.

At this moment, Cai Lun's younger brother coughed and slowly sat up.

This can frighten the neighbors around, and the corpse is being cheated! Corpse fraud! Shouting and scattering.

Cai Lun's younger brother also had a lot of eyes, and temporarily made up a reason, saying that he was really dead, but King Yama saw the face of a lot of money and gave him another chance to be reborn.

The neighbors were curious, and they all gathered around him again and asked him what was the matter with the large amount of money.

Cai Lun's younger brother Hu Xu said that the paper he made was a common currency underground, that is, money.

The news that Cai Lun's brother's paper was money spread all over the streets, and people bought his paper, and for a time the inferior paper he made was several times more expensive than his brother's.

It is called "paper money", because the purpose of buying it is to burn it to the dead, and it is customary to call this kind of paper "burning paper".

Straight to the point.

It can be seen that these old men are all "old men" in the village, in the countryside! In addition to the village chief and branch secretary, some older people often have the right to speak, and they will also preside over some important activities of weddings and funerals.

After they burned the paper money, they made out two incense burners, lit three incense sticks, and then stood aside and watched silently, and even the uncle stared at the three lit yellow incense sticks with a serious expression.

Later, I learned that lighting three sticks of incense is particular, the so-called "people are afraid of three long and two short, ghosts are afraid of two short and one long", before opening the coffin, if two of the three yellow incense burn fast, the other burns slowly, or even can't be lit, it means that the ghost in the coffin has opinions......

Of course, these are feudal superstitions, and I didn't believe it at all half a year ago, but after experiencing these things, I couldn't help but believe it.

When the three incense sticks were halfway burned, the uncle nodded, Zhou Laohan waved his hand at a few strong men, and several people dragged the tools up and down.

Soon two-thirds of the white coffin was dug up, and Bai Sensen's strange and scary uncle coldly shouted "stop".

I couldn't tell what kind of stone the coffin was, the coffin board protruded outward, and the surface was covered with the slightest crack, and then I noticed that in addition to the millet and white chickens and black chickens scattered on the coffin board yesterday evening, there were also small red dots, and I don't know if it was blood spots or red paint.

It should have been sprinkled by my uncle last night, and it was obvious that he only spilled half of it, and then gave up.

"Squeak-

The coffin board was slowly pried up by the strong man with a crowbar, and a pungent smell came out immediately, and several people close to the coffin couldn't help but cover their noses.

First, I heard an exclamation of "Mom", I subconsciously looked into the coffin, and was so frightened that I took several steps back.

There were two people kneeling in the coffin, no! Two dried corpses, to be exact.

The two corpses knelt in the coffin in a very strange posture, with their hands on the bottom of the coffin, and the most terrifying thing was that the mouths of the two were opened to a degree that it was difficult for normal people to open.

It can be clearly seen that this is an old and a young female corpse, the hair has not fallen out, the appearance is vaguely recognizable, and the clothes on the body are rotten, but it can be seen that it is the kind of gown that rural women often wear more than ten years ago.

"Fools?"

"How could it be them?"

The crowd first caused a commotion, followed by exclamations.

Silly babes? Suddenly I thought of what I heard at the door of the small supermarket last night, could it be the mother and daughter who were kindly taken in by Shendan more than 20 years ago? In the words I overheard last night, the two of them, I don't know if they left or threw themselves into the river, and in short, they never appeared in the village again.

Who knew that the two of them died here, it was unbelievable.

Seeing the dried corpses of the two people, Zhou Laohan and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and only one person in the crowd did not change his face, and even had a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was extremely discordant with the atmosphere on the spot.

If something happens, you can only call the police.

After several policemen from the local small police station came, they saw that the matter was so big, and hurriedly reported to their superiors, and finally Hao Minyuan led the team to rush over.

"Where your kid is, something will happen to you!"

Hao Minyuan and I were also familiar with me, pulled me together, asked about the scene, and slapped me hard.

"Captain Hao, don't say that, the actual situation is that wherever something happens, I will appear there, this is the work of Superman America and Batman!"

Liu Xili and Xiao He quickly completed the autopsy.

"The deceased were all women, and the preliminary judgment was that one was between 30 and 35 years old, and the other was between 7 and 10 years old."

"Depending on the degree of ossification, the time of death is more than fifteen years."

"Cause of Death ........."

Speaking of this, Liu Xili stopped.

"Section Chief Liu, what do you have to say!"

Liu Xili nodded: "It is preliminarily judged that the deceased was nailed to the coffin alive, and then the coffin lid was covered, and finally suffocated to death." ”

I heard that my scalp was numb, who was so vicious, could it be that the god egg did it?

Wrong! Meng Lao said before that this is an ancient coffin, at least thousands of years of history, to be precise, it is called a coffin, not a coffin, the two mothers and daughters came to the village twenty years ago, how could they be sealed into the ancient coffin!

Liu Xili continued: "The deceased's hands and feet were nailed to the coffin with an inch-long iron nail, and a small bronze mirror and a long iron nail were also found on the side.

At the sight of these two things, my scalp exploded, almost exactly the same as what was next to my dad's body.

What does it all have to do with it?
