It was only a little cleaned for a while, and we were already covered in dust. The woven bag that was originally intended to be used to hold the prey was torn open and pasted on the window to block the cold.

When we lit the candles we had prepared in advance, the room immediately lit up, and we saw that the mouth of the clay kang was still there, and we built a fire under the clay kang. Fortunately, the chimney was still clear, and after a while, the whole earthen kang became hot, and the chill on the body sitting on the earthen kang immediately disappeared, and the feeling of warmth was very comfortable at this time. As soon as the body warmed up and the bumps of the day, Huzi and Li Zhen fell asleep after a while, of course I can't fall asleep so easily if I have something in my heart.

I don't know when a heavy rain has come down outside the window, but fortunately, there is no leak in this room. The tiles were ticking from the rain, but these sounds did not affect Huzi and Li Zhen's sleep in the slightest.

Then the candlelight looked at Shang Yang, and although his eyes were closed at this time, he could still see that his eyes were constantly moving. He wasn't asleep at this point, he was definitely thinking about something.

"Pei! Slept? I bumped his arm lightly and whispered.

Pei immediately opened his eyes, "No! If you are tired, you go to sleep first, and I will keep vigil tonight. ”

"That's right! What do you see in the room across from you? "Actually, I knew from the beginning that Pei was lying to us. He must have seen something in the opposite room, so he deliberately said that the house over there was very dirty, and it was all abandoned houses, how could it be clean, and the reason he said couldn't scare me at all.

Pei thought for a long time before he spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, this place we are staying in is probably a Yizhuang. ”

Pei's words made my hairs stand on end, this place in Yizhuang was originally a unique place to store some coffins of unburied corpses, how could there be such a place in this deep mountain and old forest?

I looked incredulous and asked, "Aren't you mistaken?" ”

"Nope! In the house opposite, there are coffins all there, if you don't believe it, you can go and see it. Pei said with a serious face, and it could be seen that he didn't mean to joke with me at all.

Suddenly, there was a "goo~goo~meow~!" from outside the window! Coo~meow", adding a stroke of panic to the whole atmosphere.

In the dark night, Yizhuang in the barren mountains, the owls on the branches made oozing sounds, the black fog in the sky was confused, and the whole night gave people a ghostly feeling.

Approaching the east wing, I didn't dare to go in, but looked through the window, which had no window paper. Five black coffins were neatly placed horizontally in the room, and the coffin lid was tightly closed, and I didn't know if there were any corpses inside.

"Shall we go in and have a look?" Pei whispered to me.

"The dead are the greatest, we can be regarded as borrowing someone's place, I mean we should not disturb others."

After that, the two of us retreated lightly to the wing room where we lived to the west, and Huzi and Li Zhen were still asleep. These two people must know that this is a Yizhuang, and it is estimated that it is impossible to sleep so soundly at all.

Leaning next to the tiger I squinted and closed my eyes to recuperate, it was already three o'clock in the night, and the rain outside the window should gradually have the meaning of stopping.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the courtyard, and the sound must have come from the east wing. I suddenly sobered up, knowing that all the coffins in the east wing room could be placed.

"Pei, did you hear that?" I asked in a whisper to Shang Yang. Battle

At this time, Pei, like me, had some worries in his heart and never slept, and when he heard the strange noise, he picked up the shotgun leaning against the wall and wanted to walk out the door, and I also picked up the guy and followed closely behind.

The rain outside the door had largely stopped, and the strange sound was still coming out. Listen to the sound to discern that our analysis is correct, it is indeed the wing room on the east side.

Closer to the east wing, the sound grew clearer and clearer, sounding like the sound of a fingernail tapping a plank. The flashlight shines into the house, the room is pitch black, and the coffin is still quietly placed in the room, and there is nothing unusual other than that.

"Squeak~~!" The wooden door was pushed open by us, and a sound full of history sounded.

After entering the wing room tremblingly, the room was already full of cobwebs, and it seemed that no one had entered for a long time. The sound sounded like it was ringing in my ears, getting closer and clearer. After some searching, they finally targeted one of the wooden coffins.

"Isn't it a mouse?" I asked in a curious whisper to Pei.

Pei listened to it for a while, and said in a low voice, "No, such a big movement should definitely not be something that a little mouse can make." ”

"Smack!" I slapped the lid of the coffin with my hand, and the coffin suddenly became quiet, and the strange noise suddenly stopped.

After we stood in front of the coffin for a while, the coffin began to make that frizzy scratching sound again, and I slapped the lid again, and the coffin was quiet again.

"Lifting the coffin?" At this point, I don't know if the decision I made was wrong or right! But curiosity kept pushing me to lift the coffin.

The crowbar was stuffed into the gap between the lid and the coffin, and with the exertion of our hands, the lid was easily pried up. After opening the lid of the coffin, Pei and I were dumbfounded, at first we were judging what the coffin was making noise, but after the coffin was opened, we found that it was actually an empty coffin.

There was nothing in the coffin, what was the sound just now, such a strange scene suddenly frightened my face pale, I had heard my grandfather say something like this, 'The empty coffin screams, and death comes.'" ”

Many people in remote rural areas, due to transportation and economic problems, many rural people are making longevity trees for themselves at the age of approaching the threshold. Seventy-three years old has always been considered a threshold, and many elderly people who are not in good health have difficulty surviving this year, so most of the elderly repair their coffins before the threshold.

There has always been a saying in the countryside that if this coffin will make a sound on its own one day, then the owner of this coffin will inevitably die within a day. It's a very smart thing, and sometimes you have to believe it.

At this point, the coffin will make a noise on its own, and what does that mean, we are just passing by here. Of course, this coffin will not be ours, so the sound it makes will mean that the owner who built this coffin will not die soon.

But after some inquiry, I dismissed this idea, but looking at the condition of this coffin, I can tell that it has been here for at least fifty years or so. Although the coffin is made of fine wood, it is somewhat decayed. This coffin is generally repaired before the threshold year. Then seventy-two plus fifty or so at least means that the person is more than one hundred and twenty years old, which is somewhat impossible.

When the lid of the coffin was opened, nothing was found, and Shang Yang and I opened the other coffins, which were still empty. The owls on the trees outside the courtyard were still chirping, and Pei and I were a little frizzy in our hearts, so we simply exited the room with five empty coffins first.

When he returned to the west wing, Huzi had already fallen asleep, and when he saw the two of us holding shotguns, he immediately woke up.

"What's wrong? Got a wolf coming? As he spoke, Huzi jumped off the kang and reached for the shotgun leaning against the wall.
