Chapter 8: Out of the Coffin
After rushing out of the house, I found that the moon was cold and sparse outside, and there was a layer of fog, the fog shrouded the entire small mountain village, only a faint moonlight shone through the fog, the whole village can be said to be pitch black, and it is difficult to see the five fingers when you stretch out your hand.
And, apart from a few gunshots and a few barking dogs, the whole village was silent, as if it were a dead village, without the slightest bit of life, especially as I walked through the streets.
There is no entertainment in the countryside, so everyone basically rests early after dinner, but after all, there is such a big thing in our village, it stands to reason that it should not be so stopped, the most important thing is that even if everyone is resting, but chickens, ducks, geese, dogs and the like, should also make some noise.
At this moment, however, the whole village was dead silent, and walking through the dark and foggy streets was as if you had traveled to another world, which was very strange.
The more I walked, the more panicked I became, and in this extreme quiet, people were very prone to auditory hallucinations, and in the dark, I always felt that someone was following me, and I was so far away that I could seem to hear his heavy breathing in a trance.
But when I looked back, I saw that there was nothing behind me but the boundless darkness.
I took a deep breath and calmed down, and then quickened my pace and hurried to the east end of the village.
After arriving at the east end of the village, I found that Zhao Laofu really built a spirit shed, the spirit shed is not big, and it is very simple, there is not even a door, there is a lamp hanging outside, the lamp is still on at the moment, and it emits a dim light in the thick fog.
There was a wind blowing, and the lamp head shook for a while, making a 'squeak' sound.
Hearing the sound of 'fluttering', my heart tightened, and I looked up in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a crow squatting on the altar, and when I saw it, it fluttered its wings and flew away, and in an instant it melted into the darkness, leaving only a strange cry of 'quack' in the silent night sky.
The quiet village, the dead silence of the mourning hall, the dim lights swaying from side to side in the night wind, the crows squatting on the mourning shed......
It's weird, the atmosphere at the moment is very weird.
However, in this strange atmosphere, the two blood-red coffins were parked quietly in the mourning shed, and the ever-bright lights in front of the coffins swayed left and right with the night wind, and seemed to be extinguished at any time.
I couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth when I saw this, and said to myself, why is there no one here, and what's going on with the gunfire just now?
I frowned and looked at the two coffins, and after some hesitation, I tiptoed into the mourning hall and came to the middle of the two coffins.
When I was in the fire before, I just took a casual look, and I didn't fully confirm that these two corpses were not my third uncle, and there was no one here at the moment, so I just happened to confirm who these two corpses were.
If it were usual, I would definitely not dare to be alone in the mourning hall, especially the mourning hall of this kind of person who died in vain, because there is a saying in our countryside that a person who died in vain will come back to ask for his life after death. But it was a matter of life and death for my third uncle, and I couldn't care so much, although I was afraid, I still stretched out my trembling hand and began to push the lid of the coffin.
The cold touch was transmitted down my fingertips back into my body, and I couldn't help but shudder, I hesitated, and finally turned my heart sideways, gritted my teeth and pushed hard.
I heard a 'squeak', and the coffin was directly pushed open by me, and I wanted to push it again, but I suddenly stiffened, because I heard the heavy breathing sound again!
And now I can be sure that it was definitely not my auditory hallucination!
My God, at that moment, I was like a lightning strike, the whole person froze in place and didn't even dare to move, and the cold sweat was like a rain slurry, flowing down my forehead.
The breathing was so real, and it was definitely not far from me, and as I froze in place, the breathing became soft, as if I was hiding myself, afraid of being discovered.
It's just strange that I froze in place for almost a minute, and although I could still hear the breathing, the owner of the breath did not make any other moves.
I knew that such a stalemate was not the way to go, so I gritted my teeth and turned around sharply.
But when I turned around, I found that there was nothing behind me, except for a large blood-red coffin.
I frowned, then turned my head to look around.
This mourning shed was improvised and very simple, with broken wooden planks nailed around it, and there were many gaps between the wooden planks, which could be said to leak everywhere, and the dim light outside also shone in along the gaps.
And when I looked into a gap, I saw that there was a bloodshot eye, staring at the boss, who was staring at me with a strange look!
"I'm grass!" I screamed in fright, staggered back two steps, and crashed directly into the big coffin.
It was terrifying, especially in this situation, and it just kept staring at me without blinking.
Seeing that I found it, the eye also left the gap, and immediately I heard a series of footsteps coming from outside the spirit shed.
"Who, don't run!" After a brief moment of fright, I quickly came to my senses and hurried out of the shed, chasing in the direction of the sound.
As soon as I rushed out of the shed, I saw a black shadow flash away, and instantly disappeared into the darkness, I wanted to chase it, but I hesitated at the thought of those evil eyes.
This man must have been following me before, but I wondered why I hadn't noticed him, and I looked back a few times on the way here, but each time there was nothing behind me.
But then it occurred to me that if this person was close enough to me, close enough to almost stick to my back, then when I turned around, he moved with me, and I couldn't see anything.
As soon as I thought of this, cold sweat flowed down again, if that was the case, it would be too terrifying, and if it was close, if the owner of the breathing sound had a bad thought, it could be said that I had no room to resist at all.
Still, who is this person and why is he following me?
Could it be that the black shadow who stole blood in my house?
He didn't leave directly after knocking me down, but hid it, and when I left the house, he quietly followed me?
But it doesn't make sense, the black shadow should have come to my house with a very strong purpose, otherwise, he would not be uninterested in those valuable antiques, but with a clear purpose, only the wooden box containing the blood container.
It stands to reason that he has already succeeded, so he should leave quickly, so why is he hiding in the shadows and following me?
Could it be that he really wants something in my house, or in me?
It's too chaotic, too many things happened in our village for two days in a row, and everything is directly related to my family, these things can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and they can be connected together, but why these things happened and what triggered this series of events, I can't figure out in any case.
I shook my head and stopped thinking about it, turned my head to look around, and saw that it was quiet, so I turned around again and walked towards the altar.
It's just that when I just walked into the mourning tent, I suddenly heard a muffled sound of 'bang', and when I heard this sound, I was shocked, and I turned my head suddenly, and found that the sound actually came from inside the coffin.
There were two coffins in the shed, one of which I pushed open a gap, and the other lid was tightly closed, and at this moment, the sound came from this coffin.
My eyes widened, my face full of horror, and I subconsciously took two steps back, trying to escape from this horrible place.
But before I could get out of the shed, I heard a 'hammer', but the lid of the coffin jumped up and down, and it felt as if something in the coffin was kicking the coffin board.
It's just that I'm grass, in the coffin, what can kick the coffin board?
Coffin, but dead!
"Gollum!"
I couldn't help but swallow and foam, and at this time, the contents of the coffin seemed to be angry, and the coffin board 'hammer hammer' kept ringing, and finally 'bang' was directly overturned to the ground.
And when the coffin board was overturned, a figure instantly sat up from inside the coffin.
I screamed in fright, but the next second my screaming stopped abruptly, my eyes widened and I stared at the figure inside the coffin in disbelief.
"How are you?" I exclaimed, in disbelief.
