Chapter 212: Coffin Board
I immediately stopped the crowd. The group looked at the footprints with suspicious expressions.
"Is this still a kindergarten?" Basket Island Road.
"What kindergarten, a child's footprints can look like this? Could this mark have been left by the person who came in before? Huang Congci said.
"It's possible, but only if the people who come in front of you are skinny and don't wear shoes." Ye Yunnan said half-jokingly, and was stunned after speaking.
It was a joke, but it made people feel an inexplicable chill, even if it was really a group of scrawny old poisonous ghosts in front of them, and they had to wear shoes when they came to this place, unless they were all mentally abnormal, otherwise there was no reason to walk around the mountain stream barefoot.
"Maybe something left in the woods." Jiang Ruxi's words expressed the doubts in everyone's hearts.
"But this place doesn't smell like the woods." Basket Island Road.
"Maybe these footprints were left before, and those things didn't come in again, and the smell was blown away by the wind." Huang Congci said.
I hope so. However, I still can't be reassured, the footprints are really dense, and if they don't come and go often, it means that there are more than the two in the woods last night.
"Let's hurry up and get out of this place as soon as possible." I said.
The group did not hesitate any longer and continued to march into the valley.
More and more footprints were found along the way, but wherever there was thin mud, there were such long, shallow footprints. It's not that the other party picks the place where the mud goes, but only the mud can step on the footprints.
Everyone's nerves gradually tensed, and their brows furrowed. No one squeaked anymore, staring at the hanging coffins on the two rock walls.
Creak......
A strange voice suddenly sounded, very abrupt in the silent valley.
Everyone suddenly stopped, held their breath, and looked around.
Crunch! A loud sound came, followed by a loud thud, and something fell from above and smashed into the back.
I immediately turned my head to look, only to see a rotten wooden plank falling, broken into several pieces.
The group walked forward, it was a coffin board, I don't know how many years, it was very rotten, no wonder it was so completely broken.
Ye Yunnan patted her chest: "I'm scared to death, I thought it was something!" ”
Looking up, I quickly locked on to the source of the coffin board, a coffin nailed to the middle of the cliff, neither tall nor too short. This coffin is not tilted, and there is no wind in this place, why did the coffin board fall off? Even if it has been weathered and decayed, it shouldn't be the coffin board that falls first.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, everyone was relieved. Away from the coffin board, Ye Yunnan said: "If you continue to look for it like this, the spirit corpse was not found, but it was crushed to death by the coffin board first, sister has to change the method, a few of them will do their own." ”
She took out a small charm from her backpack, pinched it in her hand, made a handprint, and slowly walked forward.
Basket Zizhou and Huang Congci were not to be outdone, Basket Zizhou pinched the Buddha beads in his hand, silently recited the scriptures, and walked forward. Huang Congci took out a small black incense burner, put a handful of ancestor incense ashes into it, and then didn't know what he lit, and walked all the way with the incense burner.
Jiang Ruxi looked at the actions of the three of them, revealing a shallow sneer, and did not make any moves, still looking at the hanging coffins on both sides and moving forward.
I didn't have time to prepare anything for this trip, and the hanging coffin above was too high for me to detect. I looked at Tu Yi and asked him if there was anything he could do.
He shook his head: "I tried, but I couldn't find it." ”
Tried it? When? Why didn't I find out?
"When did you try?" I asked.
"Just as you enter the valley." He replied honestly.
Yes, he didn't come over when we went over to look at the student ID, and he probed it at the time. If it weren't for knowing him, I would almost have thought he was "pretending to be crazy and stupid".
I asked him what the results were, if he couldn't find a specific target, or if there was nothing unusual at all.
He thought for a moment, as if he were organizing language: "I can't feel anything." ”
"You mean there's no way you can detect it here?" I said.
He nodded.
If even he can't feel it, then Ye Yunnan and them are just in vain. Jiang Yixi's expression was obviously known from the beginning. It's not that simple.
I looked up at the hanging coffins on both sides, and walked towards the deep valley, but I couldn't detect it, so I could only find it slowly with the naked eye, and Wen Zai's life was all here.
After walking in the valley for a day, I didn't find anything, and I didn't see anyone who came in front of me. As it got late, we found a more spacious cave and set up camp.
Spending the night in a valley full of hanging coffins is terrifying, especially since there are two rotten coffins next to the cave, as if they will suddenly fall apart at any time. was stunned, but no one proposed to go out of the valley. After last night's stubble, the woods aren't necessarily safer than here.
After dinner, the fire was lit, and it was discussed that Huang Congci and Huang Zizhou would guard the first shift, and Tu and I would guard the second shift.
After a day and a night of tossing, everyone was tired enough, and everyone went to sleep in their tents.
My tent and sleeping bag are gone, so I have to sleep with Huang Congci, anyway, they keep watch in the first half of the night, and we watch the second half of the night, and the time is staggered.
I set an alarm clock with my phone, lay down in my sleeping bag, and quickly fell asleep in a daze.
I was woken up by the alarm clock in the middle of the night, and it was time for me and Tu to keep vigil. Because of lack of sleep, I was still very sleepy, and my muscles seemed to be protesting, and I was so sore that I couldn't do it. Crawling out of my sleeping bag, the cool air around me woke me up a lot.
When I walked out of the tent with a flashlight, I saw that it was pitch black outside, and the fire had been extinguished, and it had been trampled on. Basket Island and Huang Congci were also nowhere to be seen.
I was so agitated that I came to my senses and shone my flashlight around, but there was really no trace of them. Could it be that they secretly went to find the spirit corpse themselves!
I was about to wake Tu E when I caught a glimpse of a fat figure leaning against the mouth of the cave and waving to me. It's Basket Island, they didn't go.
He put one hand to his mouth to signal me to silence, and gestured to me to turn off the flashlight with the other.
I turned off my flashlight and walked over lightly in the dark. When I came to the mouth of the cave, before I could ask what was going on, I heard a slight sound of footsteps. I held my breath and crouched down against the rock wall, paying attention to the direction of the sound.
In the dark valley, a figure could be faintly seen walking in front of it. I can't see the specific appearance, I can only know that the other party is very thin.
I immediately thought of the footprints on the side of the mountain stream, which seemed to have been left by this guy.
