The coffin board was nailed again, in fact, it doesn't matter whether it is nailed or not, it is rotten to that appearance, and it is impossible to change the corpse anymore.

The grave was re-erected, just as it had been dug up, and all the moods were different. Lin Qiao'er was even more sad, the Lin family was even more frightened, and all I felt was a cold chill.

At this moment, except for the Taoist priest, I am afraid that no one can experience the coolness in my heart, Uncle Lin is like this, and Lin Qiaoer is the same, it's not that they can't understand it, but they don't dare to think about it subconsciously.

I once read a story about an old man's sudden death, and the old man's children put him in a coffin, but the old man did not really die, and the sudden death at that time was just a sudden fake death. During the wake, the old man came back to life from suspended animation and found himself in a coffin, so he slapped the coffin and was heard by his six-year-old granddaughter, who was guarding the coffin.

The granddaughter asked the grandfather if he was really dead, and the grandfather was silent, in fact, when he woke up and found himself in a situation, he had already given birth to the idea of dying like this, because he was too old to walk, and he didn't want to live to continue to burden his children, so he told his granddaughter that he was dead. The old man was reluctant to give up his granddaughter, so after deciding to die, he wanted to talk to his granddaughter more.

So the grandfather and grandson talked for a long time, until the old man's children found out that the little girl was talking to the coffin, and the old man's children asked the little girl what she was doing. The little girl was simple-minded, so she said that she was talking to her grandfather, and the old man's children's faces changed suddenly, and then she suddenly hit the little girl fiercely, saying that she was lying, and the little girl cried, but she still stubbornly said that she was talking to her grandfather.

The little girl was beaten over and over again, but she didn't change her words, the old man in the coffin was full of tears, and patted the coffin wordlessly, and the old man's children finally stopped and drove the little girl home. The old man was finally buried, if the old man's children didn't know that the old man was still alive at first, but when the old man slapped the coffin, they already knew that their old father was still alive, but, in order to have one less burden, they would rather believe that the old man had cheated the corpse than believe that their father was still alive.

The old man's silence at the beginning was out of concern for his children and future generations, and then the old man still chose to remain silent because he was disappointed, his heart was dead, and he did not want to face the beasts he raised single-handedly.

In fact, the funeral customs that have been passed down for thousands of years in our country are not all dross, and almost every place has the traditional custom that people must hold up their bodies for a few days when they die. From a truly scientific point of view, this custom is actually to avoid the tragedy caused by the misburial of people who have fallen into suspended animation, because medicine was not developed in ancient times, and sometimes people do not really die after losing their vital signs, but enter a special state of suspended animation.

After a period of time, as little as a few hours, or as long as three or five days, this state of suspended animation will be lifted, and the person who suspended his death will be 'resurrected'. However, it was not possible to determine whether the death was suspended from time to time, so there was a custom of suspending the spirit for different periods of time, in order to give the 'dead person' enough time to release the suspended animation.

Stopping the spirit was originally a good vision, but it turned into a chilling human tragedy in the old man, the ugliness of human nature, and sometimes it was really embarrassing.

Mother Lin's death, perhaps, is a kind of fake death, this is my speculation and that of the Taoist priest, and maybe it is the truth of the matter, but I really hope that this guess is wrong, Mother Lin is indeed dead.

After the tomb returned to its original state, the Taoist priest opened the altar, I think he did a decent job, and I don't know if it was bluffing, but judging from the relationship between him and Lin Qiaoer, it shouldn't be, he is also a person who values feelings.

After the death of the soul, we returned to the village with an extremely heavy heart, the relatives were scattered, and Lin Qiaoer was even more sad because she witnessed the tragic appearance of her biological mother after her death during the day, and rested early.

On the roof of Lin Qiao'er's house, the Taoist priest and I looked up at the deep night overhead, the stars and the moon were gone, and it was obvious that the climate would change greatly tomorrow, and there might be heavy rain or dense fog.

I couldn't help but ask: "You knew early on that Mother Lin was not dead, but was buried alive?" ”

The Taoist priest didn't look at me and sighed, and from his sigh, I had already got the answer I didn't want to see. There was a buzz in my head, and I grieved for Lin Qiao'er.

"How do you know this?" At this point, it doesn't matter what the answer is, because people are indeed dead now, but I still wonder how the Taoist priest knows this? If you judge from the sound of knocking in the coffin and the sound of scratching the lid of the coffin that the person inside is not dead, this is too arbitrary, after all, there is also the possibility of defrauding the corpse.

The Taoist priest lit a cigarette and smoked it himself, I was reluctant to smoke, but now this depressing atmosphere made me very uncomfortable, so I simply asked him for one and smoked it. Just because I don't smoke doesn't mean I can't smoke, and the irritating smell reverberates in my chest and nostrils, which suddenly alleviates the gloom in my heart a lot.

The Taoist priest pulled off half of it in one go, and then said, "Do you remember, Sister Lin said that she saw a hand stretched out in the coffin?" ”

I nodded, and he continued: "According to Sister Lin's description, someone must have come out of the coffin, but the coffin is nailed, and if you want to lift the coffin board, it is definitely not something that people can do. But if it was a corpse, how could Sister Lin be safe and sound after that, and Dao Ye didn't feel the corpse qi around the grave, which was a bit strange. ”

I frowned, took his words and said, "Sister Qiao'er also said that the coffin board was still nailed tightly afterwards, and there was no sign of opening!" ”

The Taoist priest nodded, "That's why Dao Ye specifically asked her if she could really see a hand stretched out in the coffin!" As he spoke, the Taoist priest took out the cigarette in one go, extinguished the cigarette butt, and then analyzed: "Sister Lin's answer was very positive, so Dao Ye felt that the situation was not quite right, in fact, before the coffin was opened, Dao Ye was not sure whether Mother Lin was buried alive, I thought of another possibility." ”

"Another possibility? What is it? ”

The Taoist priest smiled mysteriously: "If you think about it, the coffin board was opened, and it was closed intact afterwards, this will definitely not be done by the corpse inside after defrauding the corpse, the corpse may lift the coffin board, but it will never nail the coffin board again." The only possibility is that someone has already pried open the coffin nails! ”
