Chapter 303: The Woman in the Stone Mask
"King Lao, your two grandsons were beaten to death half a month ago!"
When the young man finished saying this, he fell into a dead silence in the darkness.
Suddenly, without warning!
Suddenly there was a strong wind in the belly of the mountain.
"I'll give you one last chance, if you say half a fake word, I'll break your neck. ”
An old, dull voice sounded in the gloomy wind, coming from one of the intact coffins on the pile of corpses. It seemed that with suppressed anger, he said word by word.
"In front of King Lao, I don't dare to have half a lie, your two grandsons were indeed beaten to death half a month ago!"
......
It's still at the seventy-two ghost gates.
In the dark,
Time passes minute by minute,
Except for the piles of corpses and the icy phosphorus fire on both sides of the waterway, all that remained was the sound of the waves washing over the banks from time to time.
Sand, sand, there was the sound of footsteps on the gravel floor, the sound of walking on the soft gravel ground, and after a while, I saw the mysterious young man return again.
Nothing unusual was seen in him.
It seems to be a safe return.
Whoa... The water was ankle-high, and after the young man had waded some distance, he saw the boat again, and the man on board who was wearing a shroud that only the dead would wear.
It seems that the boatman had been waiting for the young man to return.
It was still the old rule, after the young man got on the boat, he blindfolded himself with a strip of cloth again, and then as the boat swayed left and right, and the sound of waves crashing against the hull, the boat in the cave waterway seemed to have returned the same way.
In the waterway back the way you came, you can still hear those movements, and there is something crawling on the rock walls on both sides.
Something under the surface of the water swam swiftly past, rolling up the sound of huge waves,
There was also a strange movement overhead.
The young man was silent, silently calculating the time in his heart, referring to the time of his first visit, he calculated that there was still a third of the remaining waterway to go, boom!
The hull of the ship floated suddenly, as it had done before, as if something had come onto the ship again, and there was the sound of footsteps and breathing on the hull.
But this time it was different, this time the footsteps did not leave as they had done the first time, but approached the young man at the bow of the boat......
When I don't know how much time has passed,
A small boat sailed out of a sea of thick fog on the river.
Boom... The hull of the ship collided lightly with the river bank, and the hull of the ship stopped.
"It's landed. From the stern of the boat came the voice of the boatman.
However, no one disembarked for a long time.
At this moment, a gust of river wind blew, and the thick fog was blown away, and the young man who was originally standing on the bow of the boat was still stained with only the lower half of his body below the waist! The upper body part had been eaten, and the flesh at the wound seemed to have been bitten by some fierce beast, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and a large amount of blood was gurgling out.
......
A day later,
Sunset at dusk.
This is a small mountain village located in a remote area, but before the season of melon and fruit purchase, it is rare for a small truck with a foreign license plate to drive into the village today.
The small truck with a foreign license plate finally stopped at the door of a family at the west entrance of the village.
Then two big men came down from the cab and actually began to carry an ice coffin from the cargo car.
Some nearby villagers saw this scene and were about to gather around to watch the excitement, but at this moment, the door of the villager's house opened, and an old man and a young man came out.
After about ten minutes, the two big men did not stop after placing the ice coffin, and drove directly out of the village.
Wang Chengcai has just entered high school this year, his parents died early, and he has been dependent on his grandfather since he was a child. The nearby towns respect his grandfather very much, but whenever there is a dead person and a funeral, he must ask his grandfather to preside over the funeral, especially the old people, especially respect his grandfather.
Even before he died, he specified that after his death, he asked his grandfather to preside over the funeral.
The reason why the old people in the neighborhood respected his grandfather was because his grandfather used to be a corpse bearer. However, with the reform and opening up, after the smooth cement roads and cars in every village, the ancient industry of corpse bearers has been slowly lost.
But the old people believe in this the most, and they all think that his grandfather is a person with great ability, so even now, they all come to his grandfather to preside over the funeral before they can be buried in peace.
However, today's grandfather has a very strange face and is also very serious.
It's all because of an ice coffin that was transported today.
Wang Chengcai, who happened to be at home after school, watched his grandfather go to send the two truck drivers out, out of curiosity, he subconsciously came to the ice coffin, and secretly glanced at the people in the ice coffin through the transparent manhole cover.
Lying in the ice coffin was a woman, looking at her fair skin, it seemed that she was still a very young woman.
It is estimated that he is in his twenties.
Dying at such a young age, it is really jealous, Wang Chengcai regretted a word, he wanted to see the facial features of the woman in the ice coffin, but he was stunned, and the woman's face was wearing a Wong Tai Sin stone mask.
However, this Wong Tai Sin face is a little strange, there is a place that looks like a splicing, and then inlaid on it, which is slightly different from the surrounding color, accounting for about one-third of the area.
Just when Wang Chengcai looked at the stone surface on the woman's face, the grandfather who came back after sending the driver back, as soon as he saw Wang Chengcai lying next to the ice coffin, he immediately scolded nervously: "You little rabbit cub don't want to die! Hurry up and leave that ice coffin, haven't you seen a woman in eight lifetimes, can you see the person in the ice coffin!"
Wang Chengcai, a hairy boy with fluffy lips that hadn't grown yet, pouted unconvinced: "Isn't it just a corpse, what's the big deal." ”
"When I was a child, grandpa, you presided over the funeral for other people's families, and it was a night away, and I followed you grandpa, and I didn't see these corpses. ”
Who knows, grandpa was so frightened that the old skin on his face trembled: "My little ancestor, alas, you don't toss my old bones once, is it so difficult." ”
"The people in this ice coffin are different from the dead people before, if you don't say a word, maybe our grandfather and grandson will be alive tonight. ”
Wang Chengcai looked at the expression on his grandfather's face, which didn't look like a fake, and then looked at the woman wearing a strange stone mask in the ice coffin next to him, and became even more curious: "Grandpa, why did someone suddenly send a woman's corpse to our house for no reason?"
silent
Grandpa sighed: "It's still here when it's time to come, and I haven't been able to hide after hiding all my life." ”
Then he looked at Wang Chengcai with a very serious face, and solemnly told him as if he had confessed his last words: "Ah Cheng, grandpa is going to re-practice his old craft tonight, and he has to carry the corpse for the woman in the ice coffin." Grandpa has a few words to tell you, you must remember it, don't miss one. ”
