Chapter 3: Trembling
At a glance, Liang Zi was not looking at me at all, but stood motionless next to the coffin with his back to me in a daze.
I stared at his back and whispered to him, but he still didn't respond.
At this time, my heart tightened, and I thought of the previous saying that I was possessed by a hooked soul, and I thought that this kid was not evil, right?
I stood up cautiously, and a cold wind blew in my face, and I trembled and gently kicked the beam with my foot a few times.
At this point, Liang Zi slowly turned his head, and then looked at me with a miserable white face, muttering something that I couldn't hear clearly because he was wearing a mask.
I saw him so horrified, and it was in this environment that my legs went limp, and I stumbled and fell to the ground.
At this time, Liang Zi, who had a miserable white face, began to approach me.
I was about to get up and run away in terror, but Liang Zi suddenly pounced on me, and because it was too sudden, he crushed me to the ground.
This kid has fallen into evil!
My brain quickly confirmed my earlier suspicions, and then I got the strength from under him out of nowhere, braced his neck with my left hand, and punched him in the cheek with my right hand.
Liang Zi himself was thin, and he was planted on the ground next to him with this punch.
When I saw such a good time to escape, I quickly got up, but the beam that was crawling on the ground grabbed my trouser leg again.
I was about to kick it down, but Liang Zi raised his head and said to me in a struggling tone, "Are you crazy? ”
After hearing this, I thought to myself, could this kid have been sobered up by my punch?
Liang Zi is my best buddy after all, seeing that he is awake, I still retracted the foot that stopped in mid-air and was about to kick down, quickly helped him up from the ground, and then told him what happened just now, saying that it was to help him remember.
After listening to what I said, Liang Zi covered his face with his hands, opened his mouth with a painful expression and tried his chin before saying, "I remember your sister, do you think I have fallen into evil?" I was very sober about what happened just now, I looked back and saw that you suddenly fell, and then tried to help you, but I was tripped by the crowbar you threw on the ground, and then I fell on you, and then you kicked and beat like a madman, I didn't understand what was going on, and as soon as I wanted to open my mouth to speak, you grabbed my neck with your hand, and finally punched me, almost killing me. ”
After listening to Liang Zi's words, I realized that it was all my own cowardice that was doing the trick, and I was about to apologize after a false alarm.
Liang Zi seemed to remember something, his face changed to the color of the white color just now, and then interrupted me with a gesture and pointed to the coffin.
Only then did I know that Liang Zi must have seen the old man's white bones when he was standing motionless next to the coffin, which caused his face to change drastically and he was in a daze.
I just wanted to laugh at him for being timid, but then I thought of my own troubles just now, and felt that now was not the time to make fun of him, so I held back.
I looked down at my watch, and it was already 2 a.m., thinking that time would not be enough to keep going on like this.
Then in order to win back the face I had just lost, I ignored Liang Zi, walked to the coffin while wearing gloves, and took two deep breaths in order to adjust my mentality, of course, in order to strengthen my courage.
I looked into the coffin, and my mind went blank.
The old ancestor lying in the coffin was not a pile of white bones at all, I saw that the upper body of the old man was covered with a red cloth, and his face had been uncovered by the beams, revealing a kind face, as lifelike as if he had just been buried, no, to be exact, it was like falling asleep, walking peacefully in the coffin.
"How...... Yes...... Such? I stared at the old ancestor in the coffin and muttered to myself.
Then my legs went limpy again, but fortunately Liang Zi was on the side and held me in time, otherwise I would have fallen to the ground again this time.
"I almost died of fright when I opened the covering, and that's probably why you said my face was pale." Liang Zi said as he pointed to the lower part of the ancestor's body, "But what's even weirder is here!" ”
My eyes followed the direction of Liang Zi's finger, and I couldn't help but gasp.
I saw that Grandpa's longevity pants and shoes had almost completely decayed and fallen off, revealing the bones of his feet that had turned into white bones.
At this time, Liang Zi's hand reached for the coffin.
I knew what he was going to do, and my eyes moved with his hand.
Liang Zi slowly and completely uncovered the red cloth covering the corpse of the old ancestor, and the whole person of the old ancestor was completely exposed in front of our eyes, only to see that the head and upper body of the old ancestor were well preserved, but the parts outside the red cloth had all turned into white bones.
Seeing this scene in front of me, I, who had wanted to quickly clean up the bones, once again got stuck in my head and froze in front of the coffin.
If it is said that the ancestor is an unossified corpse, I can generally accept it, because the news that the thousand-year-old corpse is not rotten is often reported on TV and newspapers, but when I see such a half-human and half-bone ancestor, it is still unacceptable in my heart.
Liang Zi saw that I didn't move for a long time, so he patted me on the shoulder, as if to comfort me, and then took out a cigarette, lit it, handed it to me, and then he lit one himself.
I took it and smoked violently, until I choked on the cigarette and coughed violently, and I felt that my mood had stabilized a little.
Seeing this, Liang Zi said to me: "No matter what happens to our ancestor, he is your grandfather after all, it's not too early, hurry up and pack up the bones and change the coffin." ”
After hearing this, I was very relieved, and my originally complicated thoughts were straightened out a lot, as if I had a backbone.
At this time, my heart was grateful, if he hadn't been there today, the tomb would definitely not have been moved.
After a cigarette, the two of us began to clean up the bones, the ancestors except for the upper body of other parts have been completely ossified, so to pick up the scattered bones one by one and put them in the new shroud, at first I was still cringe, but then seeing that Liang Zi was so calm, I also let go of my hands and feet.
It didn't take much effort, and the bones of the ancestor had been almost cleaned up.
Inadvertently, I turned my head to look at Liang Zi, only to find that he was holding the red cloth covering the old ancestor and touching and looking.
I was about to open my mouth to ask him what he was doing, but I had roughly understood Liang Zi's consciousness.
At that time, when I was cleaning up the bones, I also felt that this red cloth was a little strange, but it was not as sensitive as Liang Zi.
Because it has been nearly a hundred years since the ancestor was buried, the clothes on his body have long been rotten and almost torn when touched, but this cloth is unusually strong and smooth.
"Horn-click-"
A voice rang out from the other end of the cloth I was tugging at.
