At this point, I walked towards Wang Fangmin, who was carrying the coffin out of the hall, and when he saw me coming, he walked forward with the coffin and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

I glanced at the coffin, reached out and touched it, and asked him, "Is the coffin heavy?" ”

He shook his head, walked forward, and said, "It's not heavy. ”

I let out an 'oh' sound, followed his footsteps, and asked him, "Is this coffin particularly light compared to the usual coffin?" ”

I was afraid that he would misunderstand me, so I added, "I mean the usual empty coffin." ”

He was silent for a while, put one hand on the dragon frame, and said, "It seems to be lighter than the usual empty coffin, only a hundred catties, is there something wrong?" ”

I thought about it for a while, and then I said, "When we pass by the river, tell the person who carries the coffin not to think wildly, but to put all his mind on the coffin, and the white cloth on your arm, and not to fall off." ”

I say this because I have some worries in my heart. Before the funeral, I had already seen this coffin, it was no different from an ordinary coffin, 182cmX78cmX62cm, it was pitch black, and there was nothing special about it. (Note: 182 is the length of the coffin, 28 is the width, and 62 is the height, which is the smallest size coffin.) ）

Now that I heard him say this, he weighed only a hundred pounds, which was lighter than the usual empty coffin, which was a little abnormal. I was afraid that something strange would happen when I passed by the river, so I made them pay attention to the white cloth on the arm, which is the symbol of our eight immortals, just like the word police on the arm when the police are on duty, which has the same effect.

After greeting Wang Fangmin, I carried the gong, banged all the way, and walked towards the funeral route.

This journey has been smooth, just like ordinary funerals, Qing Xuanzi led the way, and the deceased's relatives surrounded the coffin while patting and wailing. Because there were so many funerals, I was numb to this kind of wailing, and to my ears, the wailing sounded like a normal speech.

Walking, walking, before I knew it, I was at the river, and I was worried that something would happen, so I took a flashlight from the villager who was in charge of lighting and shone it towards the river.

The river is unusually quiet, and the surface of the water flows slowly as usual, with the occasional 'ho-ho' sound, which is the sound of waves crashing on the shore.

After staring at the river for a while, I didn't find anything, and I couldn't help but say secretly in my heart, is my worry too redundant?

Since I watched by the river for a while, the funeral procession had already gone some distance, so I strode up and looked at the coffin in front of me, the coffin carrying the coffin, the yellow paper scattering the yellow paper, the wailing and wailing, everything was so natural, which made my tense nerves relax a lot.

We walked by the river for about ten minutes, and came to a place where the deceased had fallen into the river, and my heart was very heavy, so I asked them not to go near the river.

Those who carried the coffin were also very taboo about this, and their feet involuntarily deviated to the right, so that they kept a certain distance from the river.

In retrospect, there are some things, even if they have to be avoided, they cannot avoid the will of heaven, because God has long been doomed, and manpower cannot resist it at all.

Our funeral group walked forward cautiously, only Wang Chengcai's family of four, I don't know whether it was to touch the scene and hurt, or too much to miss the deceased, the four of them stopped and patted the coffin, knelt by the river, looked up to the sky and howled, "I drop a mother, my son has not had time to fulfill his filial piety, he has been separated from you by yin and yang, and his son is not filial!" ”

As soon as this voice came out, I was really startled, and immediately ran to them and said, "Don't cry here, it's bad luck, hurry back to the funeral procession." ”

They ignored me, just knelt there and wept, which made me a little embarrassed, and I was ready to use brute force to pull them back to the team.

Coincidentally, when I was about to pull Wang Chengcai, I saw something abnormal on the surface of the river, only to see, in the dark, under the illumination of the afterglow of the flashlight, flickering brightly and darkly, a thumb-sized white thing floated out, at first I didn't care, I was ready to turn around, where do I know, the white thing floated more and more, just a few seconds, the white area is getting bigger and bigger, about three inches long.

I was a little curious about something, so I took the flashlight and shone it in that direction, and when I looked at it, the white thing, with round ends, looked like the bones of a human foot.

Immediately afterwards, one by one, the white bones, like bamboo after a rain, all floated out, floating densely on the surface of the water, looking chilling and creepy.

I thought that I was the only one who saw this scene, and looked up at Wang Chengcai's family, and found that they were a family of four, their eyes widened, and they looked at the river with a frightened face, obviously they also found out.

Suddenly, a particularly harsh voice came, the sound was so strange, like the sound of water waves hitting the river, and a bit like the sound of human speech, which was difficult to distinguish.

I was suspicious, and I listened, and the place where the voice came from was close to me, was it nearby?

Suppressing the fear in my heart, I took a flashlight and looked around, and found that the bones on the surface of the river were intertwined with each other under the impact of the current, weaving into a strange sound.

Listening, listening, I felt that the voice had changed a little, and I couldn't tell if it was auditory hallucinations or what's going on, and I vaguely felt a bit like the voice of a middle-aged man.

This discovery made me stunned, my back was cold, cold sweat broke out, goosebumps on my arms came out, what's going on? Middle-aged man shouting grievances? If that voice happens to be similar to the word 'injustice', I don't believe it, how can there be so many coincidences in the world.

"Brother Jiu, what's going on?" The king stopped wailing and walked up to me, his voice trembling violently.

I stretched out my hand and pointed to the white bones on the surface of the river and said, "It looks like human bones." ”

"It can't be grandma's bones, right?" He asked in a trembling voice.

I shook my head and said, "The deceased has only been dead for a few days, and the corpse cannot decompose so quickly, and besides, these bones have already surfaced, which means that this bone is extremely light, and the substances in it will be drained by water, presumably, the corpse has been in the river for at least twenty years, or even more." ”

"For so long? Who could that be? Ever since I was governor, I remember that no one had drowned in this river, which is strange. He muttered under his breath.

I didn't pay attention to him, my eyes looked straight at the bones, my mind was full of doubts, and the bones floated out as I passed by here carrying the coffin, is it a coincidence? Or what's going on?

For a while, I couldn't figure out what was going on, so I thought about scooping up those bones, after all, when we eight immortals encounter these ownerless bones, we will have some good thoughts in our hearts, which can be regarded as accumulating yin virtue for ourselves.
