Chapter 22: The coffin board is broken

The sound was all too familiar to me, because not long ago, I had seen my godmother's nails grow longer and scratch at the coffin board. That situation is very similar to the situation of corpse transformation in Hong Kong zombie movies, could it be that Uncle Lin's corpse has also undergone corpse transformation?

The scratching sound was very harsh, and the people who heard it nearby were stunned, and the crowd in the yard that was still noisy and shouting quickly quieted down, and even the old yellow dog in the yard closed its mouth and didn't dare to bark anymore.

For a moment there was silence in the courtyard, except for the sound of scratching at the wood getting louder and faster, and then the coffin board made a muffled thumping sound, as if something was striking the coffin board above.

Uncle was the first to react, and his face changed greatly: "This is a corpse, hurry up and take something and nail the coffin to death." ”

Now no one made any more noise, a few strong laborers stepped forward to help press the coffin board, and someone brought a long coffin nail, and nailed the coffin to death, because of fear of accidents, the coffin nails were nailed in double, and someone found a tray of thick hemp rope from the house, and tied it to the coffin in circles.

I saw that the hemp rope looked very old, and I was worried that it would not be strong enough, so I couldn't help but interject: "Nylon rope is stronger, right?" Why not use a new nylon rope? ”

Dad pulled me aside: "I don't know if don't interject, hemp rope is to prevent corpses, and hemp rope must be used to tie the coffin." ”

Only then did I know that this is also exquisite, and almost all the older generation in the countryside understand it, that is, young people like me, who have been going to school since childhood, do not know.

After a hurry, the coffin in the courtyard was tightly tied, although there were still scratching and crashing sounds inside, but the amplitude was obviously much smaller, and it seemed that the hemp rope still had an effect.

Uncle Lin's daughter-in-law is very fat, I have always called her fat, after Uncle Lin's accident, she has been crying, and now there is a corpse change, she is even more at a loss, and came over to ask her uncle: "His second brother, Lao Lin's ...... What should I do? ”

"After tonight, let's send it to cremation, I don't dare to do it according to the old rules, if it really stiffens, everyone in the village will be buried with it."

"That'...... Okay. After the fat concubine finished speaking, she went to the side to wipe her tears again.

There are many funeral rules in rural areas, after a person dies, the body must be placed in the yard for three days before it can be put into the ground, not to mention that there was no cremation before, even if cremation is required for the past two years, no one will pull the body to the crematorium the next day.

But now that things are in a hurry, Fat Yan is not the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation, so naturally she will not object.

When the crowd was whispering, there was a sudden banging sound outside the door, which startled everyone - after the corpse mutiny incident just now, everyone's hearts were now hanging, and suddenly they heard the sound, and they were all a little frightened.

No one spoke, and the knocking on the door outside became heavier, and the uncle couldn't help but reply: "Who?!" ”

"From the police station, open the door."

It turned out that two policemen from the police station arrived, their faces were not very good-looking, they came on motorcycles, and when they were about to arrive at the village just now, there was a black shadow behind them that followed them, and the two were obviously frightened.

"Let's all stay in the yard, if the mountain monkey comes over tonight, it would be good to fight it off, and then we will deal with it tomorrow during the day." As long as it doesn't suck human blood and eat human flesh tonight, it won't be a big deal. Uncle explained.

When the two policemen heard this, they also breathed a sigh of relief, and asked casually: "Then all the people in your village are here?" ”

The village party secretary hurried over and was busy handing cigarettes to the two policemen: "All here, the whole village is here, fifty-eight households, and there are many of them." ”

After a few people nodded, the uncle was suddenly stunned: "Fifty-eight households? Where's my godmother? ”

The village party secretary shuddered, and almost nodded his eyebrows: "I forgot, I forgot to notify." ”

The godmother does not live in the village, and the household registration is not in the village, so the village party secretary subconsciously ignored it. I finally understood why I felt something wrong just now, because the godmother was still left in the brick kiln.

Everyone knows that the godmother is seriously ill, if the mountain monkey goes to the brick kiln, it will be a big incident, not only will the godmother die, but the mountain monkey will be even more difficult to deal with after recovery, if it becomes the climate, the villages in the area will suffer.

As soon as I saw that the situation was wrong, I quickly told the mountain monkey that the mountain monkey was injured by the godmother, and now the godmother is lying in the coffin, waiting to dig a pit and bury it.

After listening to this, my father slapped a big ear scraper on my head: "Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?!" Do you want to kill your godmother? ”

"I ...... So many things happened when I came back, how could I have time to tell you? "I feel very aggrieved.

"What's the use of hitting a child now?!" My uncle stopped my dad and asked me, "Xiaozang, did your godmother really tell you to seal her in a coffin and bury her in the ground for seven days?" ”

"Well, I'm too slow to dig a hole alone, so I want to come back and ask my dad to come over with you to help, who knows that when I come back, I will encounter a mountain monkey......"

After frowning and thinking for a moment, the uncle said, "No, I have to go over and carry my godmother's coffin over, the longer the time drags on, the more troublesome it will be." ”

After a brief discussion, the uncle decided to take a few brave and strong laborers, with a flat pole and a rope, to go to the brick kiln of the godmother, leaving a policeman to guard the place, and a policeman with a gun to follow him, and if he encountered a mountain monkey on the road, he could shoot it back.

Uncle and Dad must be going over, and I have to go with it, and Dad is an ear scraper: "This is a terrible thing, what are you making a fuss about?!" ”

"You don't know what the godmother explained, how can I do it if I don't go over?" Actually, I'm also scared, but I'm even more afraid that I won't be able to complete the task assigned by my godmother, so that the female corpse can regain its strength.

"Xiaozang has grown up, since he wants to go, let him follow." Uncle opened his mouth and said.

A group of people set off with flashlights, shining flashlights on the front and back, left and right, because the last two people were walking backwards, so everyone walked very slowly.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong along the way, and when I came to the brick kiln, before I could go in, I heard a sound in the brick kiln, and it felt like something was scratching the wood.

I was shocked: Could it be that the godmother's corpse has changed and is scratching the coffin? No, when she closed the coffin, she stopped.

Uncle and father glanced at each other, beckoned the policeman to come forward together, and came to the door of the brick kiln, where the policeman took the pistol in his hand before he came out, opened the safety and loaded it, and at this moment he was holding a pistol, ready to shoot at any time.

Two flashlight beams shone into the cave, only to see a green-haired, monkey-like monster lying on a coffin, desperately scratching the coffin board, its claws are extremely sharp, every time it scratches, it can bring up a pile of sawdust, and it is about to hollow out the coffin board.

Seeing the beam of light shining with a flashlight, the monster turned its head and glared at it with a fierce look.

Seeing the monster's face, everyone present couldn't help but gasp, it had a woman's face, beautiful but hideous features, and two finger-long fangs sticking out from the corners of its mouth, just like a vampire in a movie.

What's even more terrifying is that the position of its forehead has been shattered, and a large piece of it has collapsed, and the brain and blood are still hanging on it, if a person had been injured like this, he would have died a long time ago, but it was not affected in the slightest.

Before the uncle could greet him, the policeman had already pulled the trigger, and the sound of firecrackers came, and blood splattered from the monkey's body, and a bullet even hit it in the face. The monster was clearly badly wounded, screaming and wailing, but it had no power to escape.

When the policeman ran out of bullets in the magazine in one go, and was busy changing the magazine, the monster roared at the policeman, jumped out of the window of the broken brick kiln, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

When he came to the window, his uncle checked the stinky black blood dripping from the ground and breathed a sigh of relief: "This thing is seriously injured this time, I shouldn't dare to come again tonight, and it will be much easier to go up the mountain tomorrow." ”

Several people came to the coffin where the godmother was, took a closer look, and found that most of the coffin board had been removed, and the middle one was almost all opened, leaving only a thin layer.

"What should I do? Do you want to change the coffin? It's so thin that it can't withstand the pressure when buried in the soil. Dad asked with a frown.

When the policeman heard this, he couldn't help but reach out and press the thinnest piece of the coffin board, only to hear a click, and the coffin board was broken by him.

There was a faint sigh from the coffin, and then a cloud of black smoke rose from the breach, and the black smoke choked everyone with a pungent scorch, so that everyone could not open their eyes.
