Chapter 4 Scarlet Letters

What's going on here? How could anyone put a coffin in the middle of a house and not bury it? What the fuck is this custom?

Not only was I stunned, but even the second brother muttered to himself: "His mother knew it was so tricky, I might as well bring a few more good hands." Seeing that I was staying where I was, the second brother patted me and said, "What are you afraid of?" Isn't it just a coffin, go. ”

Seriously, I'm really scared, today's encounter with these things has simply subverted my previous cognition, and I don't know what we have to face next, human fear comes from the unknown, this is true, the second brother also shows others feng shui fortune telling on weekdays, and now in this case, although the second brother is also afraid, but there is no intention of retreating.

Lifting his already weak legs and stepping into the house, the second brother turned around and closed the door after coming in, it seemed to prevent the poisonous gas from outside from penetrating in, although it was not very useful, but it was better than opening the door, if that gas was inhaled more, I really didn't know what terrible things I would see.

I looked at the coffin in front of me and said silently: I don't mean to disturb, don't blame. No intention to bother, don't blame.

The second brother didn't pray like me, he took out a cigarette and lit it, and then scanned the layout of the house with a flashlight, there was nothing in the house except the coffin in the center, there was a door on both sides of the coffin, and there was a door on both sides of the coffin, and the precipitation for many years made the air in the house with a musty smell, and there were a lot of weeds growing in the cracks of the floor tiles on the ground, I looked at the closed doors around me, it seems that this ancient building is far more than just looking small from the outside, there must be other rooms in the back, the ancient building is located in the middle of the village, with such a scale, Presumably, this must have been a large family at the time.

"Yo, look, someone has been here" The beam of the second brother's flashlight moved to the ground, and he found that the weeds in the cracks of the floor tiles seemed to be trampled on the floor tiles, and it was the team in front of us? Why? It seems that what happened to us is exactly the same, how can there be such a coincidence?

The second brother pondered for a long time and said, "Let's go, take a look first, this ancient building must have a way to the outside!" ”

I hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't be! Shall we wait until dawn before we can go out? If something really happens to that team, then aren't we really following in the footsteps? ”

The second brother smiled and said: "It's not likely, since they can find this ancient building, it means that they also have a good player in their team, if they are really all dead, then our brothers can also go to see our master." ”

This guy can really say anything, I shook my head speechlessly, but my eyes kept staring at the coffin in front of me, for fear that the "person" in the coffin would push open the coffin lid and pounce on us.

Although the second brother was talking and laughing, he didn't dare to be careless when he acted, I saw him squatting on the ground and taking out his grandfather's book, looking for something with a solemn expression.

I greeted the beam of the flashlight and slowly looked at the coffin in front of me, and I don't know when it was placed here, the wood used in the coffin, if I am not mistaken, should be golden silk nanmu, this kind of wood is resistant to corrosion and insects, and it is not something that ordinary people can use, it seems that the identity of the owner of the coffin still has some weight, but I really can't figure out why not put it in the ground and put it in the center of the hall for peace? What is this statement? Just when I wanted to continue to look at the coffin, I suddenly felt that the coffin in front of me seemed to be wrong, the coffin lid seemed to be asymmetrical with the coffin, as if it was not covered when it was covered, I hurriedly told the second brother what I found, the second brother put away the book and looked at it, hurriedly got up and nervously shone the coffin with a flashlight: "Damn, stay away from the coffin, I can't tell you the way here, don't be a master who can walk." However, it seems that the lid has not been lifted in recent years, but it is better to be careful. ”

As soon as the words fell, I only listened to "Boom! Boom! Boom! "There was a sound of footsteps above our heads, and the dust that had fallen was all over our heads.

We were both startled, how could there be footsteps upstairs? We looked at each other, and there was anyone else in this building? Could it be that the previous team? The second brother picked up the guy and pulled out the knife on his body: "Go!" Let's see. ”

I took a deep breath and said in my heart that it was not the Lord in the coffin that it was better.

Walking slowly to the corner of the room, there was indeed a staircase, I shone my flashlight on the steps of the stairs, this kind of house was full of dust, and the steps were certainly no exception, and sure enough, there was indeed a man's footprint on the steps of the stairs that led to the second floor.

Both of us are holding the mountain knife in our hands, and we have confidence in our hearts, the second brother walks in front, I follow behind, this kind of wooden staircase is estimated to be a long time, every foot on it makes a "click" sound, I am really worried that the next foot will break directly.

On the second floor, the ground has been covered with dust, the traces of this footprint are very obvious, in addition, there are no other traces on the ground, the second brother shines a flashlight, and finds that this footprint goes straight into a room, and the door of the room is indeed hidden.

People's curiosity is very heavy, but I am no exception, I saw him gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, it's okay to be a living person, if it's a dirty thing, see if I don't split it alive"

I thought to myself, if it's really dirty, can we use this thing in our hands? Although I thought so, I still wanted to find out.

The second brother was holding a flashlight in one hand and a knife in the other, ready to deal with emergencies, and when he came to the door, I took a breath and gently pushed open the door of the room.

The scene in front of us made our scalp tingle! I was so frightened that I took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground, there was indeed a person in the room, but this person had already been disemboweled, and his internal organs were missing, but there was no trace of blood on the ground, this person was sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, his head was slightly sideways, his face was blue, and he didn't blink to death, it seemed that it was not too late to be killed, his backpack items were scattered on the side, and he seemed to have encountered some kind of predicament before he died.

The second brother can be regarded as a person who has experienced wind and waves, and he smacked his tongue: "Damn, there is only this footprint of him on the ground, and this is not killed by someone at all!" There was not a drop of blood on the ground! ”

I removed the beam of the flashlight and shone it away, the death of the corpse in front of me was not only weird but also tragic, I really couldn't stand it, after removing the beam, I suddenly saw a line of words not far from the corpse, I patted the second brother and hurriedly walked over.

The second brother also came over curiously, and the words seemed to be written in blood with a bitten finger: We see it, we will all die!

After reading it, I walked to the corpse and looked at the fingers of the corpse, yes, it was indeed written by the deceased, I quickly took out my mobile phone and asked the second brother to shine on it, and took a picture of this line.

What the hell is this? Don't? Is it the figure in the eucalyptus forest? My second brother and I both saw it, since the deceased wrote "we", why is he the only one who died here? This person opened his backpack in the room as if he was in a hurry to find something, but he was still brutally killed, what did this person encounter before he died?

I leaned down and began to find something in the scattered items, in addition to some camping equipment, as well as food and water, it didn't take long, I found an ID card and a mobile phone, the phone was out of battery, the ID card was compared, it was indeed the deceased, named Li Xiao, a native of Henan.

The second brother walked over and said, "You can't stay here longer, let's go down first." ”

I nodded and put away my phone and ID card, and said that if I could go out, I would help him report the case, and I would do my best.

After returning to the first floor the same way, the second brother stayed where he was again, and I quickly looked around to see that there was nothing abnormal.

He held up his flashlight and said blankly, "Fuck! What about the door? ”

I looked around, the door was still there, and the second brother looked at me and scolded, "The gate I said!" We're coming in at the door! ”

That's when I realized that the door we had come in had somehow turned into a wooden wall.

"Grass!" I couldn't help but scold! This really wants to put us to death, the ancient building is lifeless, except for the sound of our breathing, I can no longer hear any other movement, I hurriedly walked to the wall, stretched out my hand and touched it, knocked, really, could it be a mechanism? It's impossible when I think about it, even if it's an agency, there must be movement when it's operating.

This family seems to be a big family at the time, but there is absolutely no need to do anything, is it possible, we are really like the line of blood just now, we will die when we see that figure?

"Don't look at it, it's really a wall." The second brother walked up behind me and patted me, then turned around and took out two sticks of incense from the canvas bag and walked to the coffin, I asked him what he was doing.

"If you want to say that ghosts can kill people, I absolutely don't believe it, but now it looks like this senior is doing tricks" I didn't speak, I could only stand aside, flashlights shining around from time to time, such strange things have happened today, and I can accept anything else.

The second brother walked to the front of the coffin, lit two sticks of incense, and then inserted them in the gap in the floor, then knelt on his knees and kowtowed four heads in succession, and then chanted with both hands: "Junior Yu Shunhai, today with a foolish brother has no intention of disturbing, and I ask my seniors to raise their noble hands and let us brothers go." ”

I stared at the coffin and didn't dare to say more, but I was afraid of hearing any movement, can this method work? Kowtow a few heads and fart a few and we can get out? If that's the case, if I say that I deliberately bothered and didn't accept it, would we be cold immediately?

The second brother still didn't get up after chattering, the coffin in front of him was lying quietly in place, and the second brother saw the situation and chanted again: "Junior. . . ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom... Before the second brother finished speaking, there was another sound of footsteps above our heads, I hurriedly shone it with a flashlight, and there were bursts of dust falling everywhere the footsteps passed, and the second brother also hurriedly got up, only to see the footsteps not abating, and the dust fell and fell, until it stopped directly above a door behind a coffin.

The two of us looked at each other, and it was the footsteps upstairs that led us to the room on the second floor where we found the body, even though there was no trace of the deceased's footprints upstairs.

"Could it be that the predecessors have appeared?" I said to my second brother happily, could it be that the two of us are really pitiful and can't bear to kill us, so they pointed us to a clear way?

"It's better than having no clue, whether it's dead or alive can only try." The second brother said with a frown.

I learned from the second brother to walk to the coffin and made two gestures: "Thank you seniors for your guidance, the juniors will burn some paper money for you when they go out, if you think it's not enough, go to my second brother Yu Shunhai, he has more tribute." ”

After hearing this, the second brother kicked over, "You fucking blind, Lao Tzu is usually so good to you." ”

Packing up our backpacks, we came to this door directly behind the coffin, every door on the first floor was almost identical, antique, I reached out and gently pushed this door open, if I guessed correctly, this door must lead to the back hall.

But when we pushed the door open, we were surprised to see an extremely empty room, with nothing around us, no end in sight, and the beam of light shining by the flashlight disappeared into the darkness, as if the room would never see the head.

"Damn, I've been messing around for so many years, and I really don't see that there is such a big project in this building." The second brother muttered.

I began to wonder why I hadn't noticed it on the mountain when I came. With such a large room built behind the ancient building, what is this family used for?

"Don't be stupid, go inside and see if there are any other doors."

I nodded and followed with my flashlight.
