Chapter 002: The arc-shaped coffin in the black soil tomb

I was startled by the white fox, shouted, pulled the car door and jumped out.

The fox was also excited, and chased after me as I jumped out of the car. fell to the ground, lying on the ground not far away, motionless, two small eyes dripping.

Brother Xu chased after him with a stick. When the white fox saw this, he jumped up and ran towards the woods, looking back as he ran.

"Hell there's a real life. Where did the fox come from, such a troublesome person, the dead are scared alive!" Brother Xu threw a stone at the fox, and it easily dodged it. Brother Xu scolded and wanted to chase after him, but seeing that the fox was running fast, he couldn't catch up, so he turned around.

Looking at the car, the front wheel was sunk into the roadside gutter. I tried it, but I couldn't lift it up. I thought about asking the people in the village for help, but when I thought about how they looked before, forget it, don't rub this bad head.

So, the two of us went to lift the car in a hurry, but from beginning to end, Brother Xu was contributing, and I was purely playing soy sauce. Inadvertently, I found that the fox had run back at some point, squatting not far away, looking at us.

I poked Brother Xu with my hand and said softly, "That fox ran back again." ”

When Brother Xu heard this, he was furious, picked up a stone from the ground, looked at the direction, and chased after the white fox. The fox also reacted quickly, and ran away with his legs. Brother Xu has been congested with its tricked brain, and this time he has been chasing it, and it seems that he will not give up if he doesn't pick up its skin.

After Brother Xu chased him out, I suddenly felt that the air around me was much colder, and when I looked around, although there was no human figure, it always gave me the feeling that there were eyes all around.

I shrunk my neck and hurriedly followed.

Passing through the poplar forest and crossing the cemetery, I watched Brother Xu standing motionless by a river from a distance.

When he was wondering, suddenly he saw a flash in front of him, and the poplar forest turned rapidly, and white plumes of smoke were rising from each grave. The wind gusted, accompanied by an eerie whistling, poured straight into the ears.

At the entrance of the village, gongs and drums sounded, and a group of people jumped and jumped past the edge of the cemetery, each with black and white on their faces, holding a bowl in their hands, banging and beating. The crowd was followed by several seven or eight-year-old children, in white shirts, black pants, waving white strips of cloth in their hands, giggling and walking with the crowd. As they walked past the cemetery, they apparently saw me as well, and they all looked at me, intentionally or unconsciously, but they did not stop, turned the corner one after another, and disappeared around the corner.

I looked at them in a daze, forgetting that I was afraid. When they all turned around and couldn't hear the sound, they realized that they were soaked in cold sweat. I raised my hand to wipe the sweat from the corners of my forehead and brushed the strands of hair stuck to my face behind my ears.

Before he came back to his senses, there was another burst of singing behind him, and his voice was very strange, as if he was singing while shivering. Looking for prestige, it turned out to be the white fox, who didn't know when he appeared on a grave and jumped and jumped, waving his front paws and mouth wide and open. I listened carefully, but I couldn't understand what it was singing.

It is said that foxes can understand human nature, which is probably the kind of fox that they are talking about. When the white fox saw me looking at it, he stopped throbbing, waved his front paws at me, bent over, jumped off the grave, got behind a tombstone, and disappeared. I hurried over to check on the tombstone, and it turned out that behind the tombstone was a swarthy hole, and I thought that the fox had burrowed into this hole.

Did I come across a fox den? My cat looked around the hole. The diameter of this cave is about half a meter, and it sticks horizontally into the inside of the mound, and you can't see the bottom, only the wet on the cave wall, and there are circles of claw marks, which should be left by the fox when he made a hole. I tried to poke my head in, but I couldn't get in, so I shrank back. Just as I was adjusting my posture and trying to get into the hole again, I suddenly felt someone slap me on the back. I turned my head to see that there was no one. But I could still feel the pain on my back, I thought Brother Xu was joking with me, so I circled around the tombstone again, but where was there any trace of Brother Xu?

As I turned to the hole, I looked inside again. At this time, his body was suddenly pushed hard, and he was unsteady on his feet, and he hit his head on the mound and gnawed on a mouthful of mud.

At this time, my eyes suddenly brightened, and a thin, tall boy stood in front of me, looking at me with a serious face, and it seemed that he was the one who pushed me just now. Behind him was Brother Xu, who looked nervous at this time, and wondered why he didn't protect me well. Next to Brother Xu stood this old Taoist priest, with a white beard with a full chin, who looked seventy or eighty years old. Further back stood four middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes, wearing sunglasses, very bluffing.

And I, at this time, was sitting next to a broken urn, rubbing my forehead that had been hit painfully. And around, there are some dark holes in the ground, where there are graves and tombstones.

I was spitting out the mud in my mouth, and I really couldn't help but want to scold. But I was afraid of the image of a lady, in front of so many people, I still endured it, and glared at the person in front of me with a grudge, if his eyes could kill, he would have died eight hundred times.

Seeing that I came back to my senses, the boy didn't care about my murderous eyes, turned to Brother Xu and said, "If you don't want to die, take her away quickly." ”

As he spoke, he walked away. When I saw that he was so blind, I hurriedly shouted, "Hey, who are you? I can come when I want, I can leave when I want, what's in your way?"

Brother Xu hurriedly greeted me and gave me a look. Let me not speak.

The boy was not angry, stopped and said, "I don't call hey, my name is Bian Zhiheng." ”

I choked. Bian Zhiheng, the young son of Bian Huang Group, is the sworn enemy of our family and the Xuan Group. This young man, whose whereabouts are secretive, rarely shows up, he has never heard his voice and disappeared from him, and he never thought of meeting him here. Our two groups are both real estate development and health care module development, and their businesses overlap, while Bianjia is the latecomer, and they are much stronger than us in terms of management philosophy and salary. So much so that in the past two years, our family has been suppressed by this Bianhuang Group, and there have even been incidents of collective job-hopping at the end of the group. At the same time, the scope of business has been shrinking year by year, especially since the beginning of this year, and the profit in the same period has shrunk by 10% compared with last year. For this reason, my father was anxious and was hospitalized for a while. We have all advised my father to introduce some new ideas and adapt them so that we can adapt to the development of the times. However, it takes time to change the mindset, and it takes even more time to reform the system. Compared with the rapid development of the Bianhuang Group, we do not have much time left for ourselves to reform.

There were many enemies, so I obediently shut up and stood beside Brother Xu.

I whispered, "What are they doing here, what just happened?"

Brother Xu also replied in a low voice: "What were you doing around that broken urn just now? Later, this Bian Zhiheng slapped you twice, and you came back to your senses. ”

"Just now I saw you standing still by the river, and I saw the fox jumping here, so I followed, and this is a hole in the ground, how did it become a broken urn. It's weird. ”

While speaking, there was movement on Bian Zhiheng's side. I saw that the six of them surrounded a grave, looked at it for a while, and then buried their heads in digging it. I think of when I first entered the village, the second uncle of the Cui family said that I had dug up the graves of people in the village, and I immediately became angry. It turned out that this Bian Zhiheng was digging people's graves!

"You all stop, you are going to be damned!" I rushed up to stop them, but as soon as I arrived, I was blocked by Bian Zhiheng.

Bian Zhiheng looked at me coldly and said, "Don't trouble me, get out of here quickly." ”

"You dig people's graves, don't let people say it!" you ......" Before I finished speaking, the old Taoist priest over there shouted, "Young Master Bian, I found it!"

Bian Zhiheng glanced at me and warned, "Don't get in the way of my work!" he said, turning his head and running to the Taoist priest and looking down at the sloped soil.

I followed in confusion. I saw that the mound had been dug twenty or thirty centimeters deep, and the surface was ordinary loess, but under the loess was pitch-black soil, which looked like cinders.

Bian Zhiheng said: "Dig it up in another place." ”

A man in sunglasses grabbed a shovel and went to the other side of the mound and dug it up with great force, and before long, he also dug up black dirt.

Bian Zhiheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "It doesn't take any effort to get here." Daoist Qiu, let's start now!"

The Taoist priest nodded. The four men in sunglasses were ordered to pick up shovels and dig graves with all their might.

The graves of people in the mountains are all dug a pit, put in a coffin, and then piled up with loess, and a mound one or two meters high is raised on the flat ground, which is a tomb. For those who are more particular, a stone platform will be built in front of the tomb with mountain stones, which will be used to put dishes and chopsticks during sacrifices. And the people who erected the monument are very unusual. These people are either rich or simply showy.

This tomb is obviously not a particular person. There is only an offering platform made of bluestone slabs around, and there is not even an incense burner. Now that they are being dug up by Bian Zhiheng, it is even more messy. But the chaos is chaotic, and what makes people strange is that the surface of this tomb is a layer of loess, and the inside is all black, spread out on the ground, which is very conspicuous.

Although I don't know what Bian Zhiheng is going to do, I encountered such a strange grave, and the strange experience just now, so I decided to take a look at it from the side. Brother Xu was going to pull me away, but I was stubborn, so I stood here with me. Bian Zhiheng glanced at us and saw that we had no intention of leaving, and there was no sign of stepping forward to stop us, so he didn't pay attention to us anymore.

Half an hour later, the mound was bulldozed. The coffin buried inside was revealed. This coffin is also different from the usual one. Normally, coffins are three long and two short, one large and one small, but this coffin is the same thickness at both ends, bent into an arc in the middle, and horizontal like a prawn.

The old Taoist priest instructed everyone to pull out the coffin and lay it flat on the ground. After that, he circled around the coffin twice, and suddenly laughed: "Young Master Bian, this is really the person from the coffin door!"
