Chapter 170: Burial at the bottom

The coffin was drifting with the current, and the noise of the villagers outside could no longer be heard, and it was estimated that they had all left.

Or maybe the coffin has been washed away by the current of water to a deserted place.

In the cramped coffin, apart from hearing the sound of water lapping outside, only the sound of his own heavy breathing, and even the sound of his own heartbeat.

There are several reasons why a person can hear his own heartbeat: first, in an absolutely quiet environment, the heartbeat is infinitely amplified; the second is that his heartbeat is abnormal; The third is to fall into a magical state of thought.

And my heartbeat right now is definitely abnormal, and I'm afraid it would be for any other person.

Just imagine, if you suddenly find a female corpse under the bridge, and everyone doesn't listen to your explanation, and throws you into a coffin to bury the female corpse, can your heart calm down?

What's more, the lid of the coffin has been closed, and the air is not circulating, so if this continues, I am afraid that I will be suffocated to death before the coffin sinks into the water.

During this time, even though I was used to seeing life and death, there was a cold female corpse pressing on my body at this time, which still made me feel uncomfortable.

I know very well in my heart that the more this happens, the more I can't be in a hurry.

Taking a long breath and trying to calm down, the sharp pain in the back of my head was relieved a little.

I tried to move, and I felt the weight of the female corpse on my body, and some strands of hair fell into my mouth.

It may have been a short time after he died, the body had not yet decomposed and stinked, and up close, I could even smell the slightest scent emanating from his hair.

I still had rope tied to my body, but strangely, when I struggled, I found that the rope had been untied.

Thinking about it carefully, when I was carried into the coffin just now, it seemed that a person approached and cut the rope for me when others were not paying attention.

I don't know anyone else in this village, it should be the second master who cut the rope for me, and he should be the one who said he was going to save me just now.

The inside of the coffin was narrow, and one person and one corpse had already filled the space inside, and I couldn't turn over, so I could only let the female corpse press on my body, and leaned out a hand to push the coffin lid.

The lid of the coffin had been nailed shut, and after a few pushes, it did not move, but it made the coffin sway.

At this time, I realized that my back had been soaked by the icy water, and the water had not reached my ears, and if this continued, the coffin would not be long before it would sink.

I thought to myself, I wonder if this coffin was bought from Old Lady Yan's coffin shop? If it is true, the next time I meet Yan Xiaoying, I will definitely complain to her.

The quality of the workmanship of her coffin is really poor, and it has only been a long time, and so much water has entered, and the gap must be very large......

Of course, now is not the time to talk about this, you have to find a way to leave.

The guy from the second master said that he was going to save me, but he hadn't heard any movement yet, so he couldn't rely on him at all......

I moved my body, put the female corpse pressed on my body, and kicked the lid of the coffin with one hand and one foot.

After more than a dozen kicks, the coffin lid finally loosened a little, and at this time the water had already reached my ears, so I didn't dare to delay and continued to kick the coffin lid.

The coffin is narrow and can't be used, but my physical fitness has improved greatly during this time, if I change to my previous self, I am afraid that it will be difficult to wake up with the back of the head of the camel alone.

After all, he is a strong man, and his stick is not something that anyone can withstand.

After a dozen more kicks, my breathing was already extremely difficult, which reminded me of the scene when I was trapped in that wooden box when I was in Changqingguan.

It was a terrible feeling.

As soon as I thought about this, my heart began to panic, and the water under my body and bottom was getting deeper and deeper, almost reaching my nose.

I couldn't stay calm anymore and kicked the lid of the coffin like crazy.

I don't know how many kicks I made, my legs were sore, I lost consciousness, and the coffin lid finally clicked open a big crack, and a faint light was projected through the gap, and more wind poured in.

I propped myself up with the female corpse, took a deep breath, shouted, and with my hand, the lid of the coffin opened, and it fell into the water on the side, making a loud noise.

The lid of the coffin fell into the water, and there was a big splash.

I sat up from the coffin with the female corpse and found that the moon was round tonight.

The moon shines like water, sprinkling down, shining brightly around as day.

Of course, this may be due to the illusion that I have been in a cramped and dark coffin for a long time.

The river breeze brought the fragrance of flowers on both sides of the river, and I took a deep breath, only to feel extremely comfortable, and finally escaped death and picked up a life.

Sideways put the female corpse into the coffin again, he sat on her stomach, reached out and touched the back of her head, and grinned for a while.

"That old camel is really heavy, and that stick didn't almost make my head bloom."

But it's understandable when you think about it, the other party only has one daughter, and she treats it like a baby. No parent can remain calm when they see their children dead, and the murderer is nearby.

I should be glad he was holding a stick instead of a kitchen knife in his hand at the time, otherwise......

The camel's actions and reactions were normal, but what struck me as abnormal was how he suddenly appeared on the stone bridge so early in the morning.

And by chance, he showed up when I found his daughter's body......

This is a bit of a coincidence.

The most important thing is that the camel stood on the stone bridge and looked at me with a terrible and strange look, hideous, resentful, vicious......

As a parent, it should be said that it is normal to see the murderer of his daughter who behaves like this.

But there was one thing missing from the way he looked at me, and that was "surprise." ”

At that time, anyone who saw it at the first time should have a surprised expression, but when the camel saw the corpses of me and her daughter, there was no surprise on her face.

Moreover, how could he be completely sure that his daughter was dead at that time, just looking down from the stone bridge? How can I be so sure that I am the murderer?

His first reaction when he saw me at that time was not to rush down to make sure his daughter was dead, but to shout at the village to catch "me, the murderer".

This should not be a father's reaction when he sees his daughter killed.

Unless...... He already knew that his daughter was dead under the bridge.

The rope tied to the woman's body was the rope used by the camel to carry the coffin, and the bottom of the bridge was where he placed his tools, and he was the only one who usually went there.

Could it be ...... The real murderer who killed the female corpse was a camel?

Shaking his head, this ridiculous speculation made me feel a chill down my spine, and I looked down at the female corpse, and gasped even more.

I saw that the female corpse was lying on her back at the bottom at this time, and the water had not reached her head, but the water was very clear, and you could clearly see a black strangulation mark on her snow-white neck.

And at this time, her eyes were also open, staring straight at me.

I felt a little numb in my scalp, and I didn't dare to sit on her anymore, but when I looked around, I saw that the coffin was not far from the shore, and I jumped into the water and swam towards the shore.

On the shore is a barren meadow with a few plantain trees growing here and there, which looks very desolate.

The water was very cold, there were a lot of aquatic plants underneath, and I stepped on a lot of hard things like small rocks.

I didn't dare to delay, but I was not afraid of the corpse in the coffin, but I was afraid of the snake in the water.

In our local area, there is a water snake that specializes in moving in the river or on both banks, and it is highly venomous, comparable to the mountain peak. Because the snake's body is like a rope, the color is knotted and clothed, and its body hardness is comparable to a solid stone, it is also called a knotted snake.

This venomous snake is amphibious, sometimes hiding at the bottom of the water, sometimes basking in the sun on rocks, and lovers who often go down to the river to fish and catch shrimp should be familiar with this snake.

Although my body is very resistant to poison, I am still afraid of this snake.

It's a psychological shadow, like a fear of heights.

When I climbed ashore and was rubbed by the wild grass on the shore, I found that I was naked and undressed.

Before, I was tied to a wooden frame by the villagers, stripped naked and beaten so badly that I was covered in scars.

Fortunately, there is a certain part of the fight resistance, and there are no too serious injuries, and except for the camel, the rest of the villagers are quite measured, otherwise I don't know how to explain to her when I meet Jingmei in the future......

Thinking of Jingmei, I feel a pain in my heart again, I wonder if she has been taken under the yin division now?

patted his head, and endless anger rose in his heart, saying that the poor mountains and bad waters came out of the people, and I really understood it now.

Originally, I was also a child who grew up in the countryside, and I have a deep affection for the hard-working villagers, but after this incident, my perception of some people has completely changed.

In the end, the level of literacy is too low, and if you are in a big city, this will never happen.

Of course, the villagers can't be blamed entirely for this, mainly because the camel indiscriminately put the murderer's hat on my head.

The villagers are simple, see evil like hatred, and lose their minds under the fire fanned by camels.

Wave after wave, it's really unlucky, and even drink cold water to stuff your teeth. I just wanted to spend one night at the second master, and asked him about some things by the way, but I didn't expect such a ridiculous thing to happen.

In this case, I'm afraid I won't be able to show the villagers anymore, and if I let them know that I'm still alive, I'm afraid I'll have to do something.

I'm okay with myself, but I'm afraid of implicating my family.

Now to clear your suspicions, you must ask the official to come forward, and then find out the real murderer. ‘

Thinking of this, I was about to call Li Guodong, but when I touched my body, I realized that I didn't have a mobile phone at all.

At that moment, I heard footsteps not far away, and faint voices of talking.

Two people came from the upper reaches with flashlights and pulling wild grass.

I looked carefully and found that the person who came was the second master, and the other person had a bald head, but he was wearing women's clothes, wasn't it Yan Xiaoying?

When they approached, they both stared at me in dismay.

The second master is old and old, and he quickly came back to his senses, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Yan, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in our village, thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's hard but it's not hard, but I feel a little wronged......"

At this time, I took a handful of bitterness and tears, pulled the second master aside, and looked at Yan Xiaoying who rushed over, and I was very moved.

Her breathing was a little rapid, and her cheeks were slightly flushed in the moonlight, apparently caused by rushing over after hearing that something had happened to me.

This woman, every time I have an accident, she will be the first to appear, I feel in my heart, open my arms to give her a warm hug, to show my gratitude to her.

Unexpectedly, Yan Xiaoying saw that I was going to hug her, but she took two steps back, turned her head to the side, and whispered: "Hooligans!" ”

"Hooligans?"

I was stunned for a moment, and before I came back to my senses, the second master next to me handed over a ball of clothes, and said with a smile: "That Xiao Yan, although the second master admits that your kid's capital is not small, but you can't always show it in front of other girls, hurry up and put the clothes on." ”

I touched my nose, glared at the second master, took the clothes from his hand and put them on.

The clothes were the same clothes I was wearing, and there were blood stains on them, which were stained when the camel broke its head.

After putting on the clothes, I glared at the second master and scolded: "You old boy is also boring and kind, that woman has been dead for a long time, you should be able to see it at a glance with your ability, why don't you help me explain it to the villagers?" ”

I gritted my teeth and said, "The most infuriating thing is that not only did you not explain, but you also fucking threw Lao Tzu into the coffin with the group of villagers and put the female corpse at the bottom." Grandpa's uncle...... If you don't give Lao Tzu an explanation today, Lao Tzu is not finished with you! ”

I'm really angry, at this time, what respect for the old and love for the young has long been abandoned by me, if it weren't for the second master's ability, I really want to beat him up.
