Chapter 19: "Incense" Safety
The knocking in the coffin continued, and I stood aside, sweating profusely from my forehead.
In the brown-red coffin, the loud noise, again and again, almost shook the wooden coffin, and this movement did not seem to be something that a living person could make at all.
I took a few steps back and stood a meter away from the coffin.
As I stared at the coffin, my eyes filled with fear.
The contents of the coffin were still pounding on the lid of the coffin, which was deafening.
My aunt's voice was soft with crying, and she kept begging me: "Tang Xiaofan, quickly open the coffin for me, I'm about to suffocate to death, no......"
It sounded miserable, but I felt goosebumps all over my body.
Seeing that I was always unmoved, she in the coffin finally became angry.
Changing the soft voice before, the aunt's voice suddenly became rough, sounding like a piece of coals in her throat: "Tang Xiaofan, get me out!" Fast! Pull the lid open for me! Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you when I go out! ”
The temperature in the mourning hall, at this moment, seemed to have dropped to freezing.
The woman in the photo is still smiling.
In the dancing candle flame, her eyes faintly revealed a sense of weirdness. The mole in the dimple at the corner of the mouth appears from time to time, and the curved eyebrows and eyes are raised, but it looks a little more ruthless than before!
The people in the coffin continued to shout: "Tang Xiaofan! Get me out of here! Otherwise, I don't have to wait until your gambling contract with Chen San expires, I can kill you now! ”
I tried to run away, but my feet froze.
I was cold, my arms were folded, but my body was still shivering.
The cold air that soaked up from the ground made me almost freeze.
I wanted to cry, and my throat was frozen, but I made a little sound hoarse, so small that it was not as good as the sound of a mosquito.
My brain was probably frozen a little bit as well, and it was getting less and less awake.
A lot of images came to my mind:
In a trance, I saw the old Tang chicken noodle shop, and my dad was sweating in front of the stove; I went back to the building, and I saw my mother carrying her luggage and not going back; Grandma Hu is making pickled pepper phoenix feet, the salt water is clear and fragrant; I also saw a lot of fortune-tellers lining up at the door of the blind king, and everyone had their own agenda......
I heard that when a person is about to die, the previous scene will come to mind.
Am I dying?
Just as my consciousness was becoming blurred, someone behind me suddenly tapped me on the shoulder!
At that moment, it suddenly dawned!
The old scenes in front of my eyes are all gone.
Tang Muzhou stood in front of me, and he shook his mobile phone at me: "Tang Xiaofan, what's wrong with you?" ”
I was relieved to see that my cousin had finally returned.
I looked at the coffin, and the violent impact was gone. I saw it sitting quietly in the center of the mourning hall, as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, the cold that came up inexplicably from the ground was gone.
I moved, but I still crossed my arms.
I was already sweating profusely.
Looking at the Lingtai again, the portrait of her aunt was no different from before, her smile was faint and tired, her eyebrows were kind, and she became that elegant and delicate woman again.
Seeing that I looked lost and depressed, Tang Muzhou asked me again: "Tang Xiaofan, what happened just now, I just went to get a charger, why are you ......?"
When he said this, I also asked him:
"yes, you went to get the charger, why did it take so long?"
Tang Muzhou didn't quite understand: "So long? ”
"That's right!"
"It won't be long, I'll go back to the bedroom and come out again, I didn't delay any time, at most it's ......" he said, he pressed his phone and glanced at it: "Well, it's only five minutes, that's not a lot of time, right?" ”
I was stunned: "Five minutes? Impossible, right? ”
"That's right, five minutes, indeed." Tang Muzhou said, shaking the phone in front of me; "I remember very clearly, when I finished the last game just now, it was 10:38, in my game's guild, the time I assigned the task was 10:40, I assigned the task, and then went to the bedroom to get the charger."
As he spoke, he made me glance at his phone screen: "Look, it's just ten o'clock!" ”
Looking at the numbers on his phone, indeed, Tang Muzhou had only been away for five minutes.
But I have the impression that so many things have just happened, and it is absolutely impossible to pass this point.
What the hell is going on?
Seeing that my expression was not quite right, Tang Muzhou continued to ask me: "Tang Xiaofan, after I left, did something happen?" ”
I nodded, and after calming down slightly, I told Tang Muzhou what had just happened.
After listening to me, Tang Muzhou's eyes rolled:
"It's possible that the cave bat flew here from the water tower, after all, it's not far away." At this, he paused; "But if you want to say that your aunt is alive in the coffin, that's too ......"
I raised my eyebrows: "You don't believe me? ”
"It's not that I don't believe you Tang Xiaofan, it's what you said, you can't believe it at all!"
"But I'm telling the truth!"
Tang Muzhou smiled bitterly: "You said, your aunt is alive, and she still talks to you, and wants you to release her from the coffin?" This doesn't sound exciting to me at all, and ghost stories don't write like that, right? Also, even if my aunt really wants to come out, I'm here, why doesn't she call me, I have more strength than you. Moreover, in terms of relationship, you are her niece and granddaughter, I am her nephew, it's not far off, she won't be so favoritive, right? ”
I defended myself again: "But, my aunt really called me ...... just now."
"Tang Xiaofan, okay, you heard it wrong."
With that, Tang Muzhou stopped arguing with me, and he walked around the hall a few times before finally finding an electrical outlet next to the cabinet.
There were no lower stools around, so Tang Muzhou simply sat down on the spot, plugged in the power supply, and continued to play his mobile game.
Because I was apprehensive about what happened just now, I didn't care if I stayed there alone, and I also sat down next to Tang Muzhou.
In the huge mourning hall, in the brown-red coffin in the middle, there was no movement at all.
I looked at Tang Muzhou's mobile phone, and the killing inside was still fierce.
Tang Muzhou's face was very excited.
On the side of the mourning platform, the candle flame under the portrait of my aunt and grandmother shook slightly, and the "incense" of Anjia was very safe.
My phone was still quiet, and Liang Yuan didn't reply to any messages.
Although I was worried about Meimei, I didn't think about it, so I could only resign myself to fate.
That's when my eyelids started fighting.
Tang Muzhou saw that I was a little sleepy, and he said that you should squint for a while.
I nodded yes, and just as I was about to close my eyes, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure passing by in front of my aunt's coffin......
