Among the coffin bearers, there is Brother Li.

Sister Liu said that Brother Li had an accident, and further verified what her father said before he died, the people who carried her grandmother's coffin would die tragically one after another, and then they would go to the village.

The prophecy came true.

In an instant, I only felt like a basin of cold water poured down on the top of my head, and my whole body suddenly stiffened, numb, and trembled.

On the way back from the funeral, I was always uneasy and felt that something was going to happen. When I was running outside during the day, the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, and I even subconsciously thought in my head that my grandmother's death was not the end, but the beginning.

Now I know where the anxiety comes from. Truly unimaginable and incomprehensible horrors are about to begin.

Mother has kept this prophecy for more than ten years, and since she saw the death of the rooster last night, she knew that her father's prophecy was about to come true, and it was since last night that her whole person was in such a bad state, she was weak, and she often almost made mistakes in doing things.

It was also at this time that I understood why my mother hesitated to find someone to carry the coffin for my grandmother when discussing it, and offered not to pay for someone from another village to carry the coffin.

She always remembered the dream that her father said before he died, and she was worried that it would really come true, so she wanted to pay for someone from another village to carry the coffin, after all, even if her father's dream was true, it was better than looking for someone in the village who looked down and didn't look up. After all, if something happens to the villagers who came to carry the coffin, the villagers will easily know that they are responsible for carrying the coffin of their grandmother.

In the end, it was Uncle Li next door who urged him to carry the coffin, and he just found a few reliable people, so his mother went to find a few uncles who had a good time before his father's death.

It hasn't happened yet, and no one can be sure of the truth. My father died more than 10 years ago, and I was still confused at the time, and what I said would not be taken seriously by anyone.

I know that in my mother's mind, I always expected my father to talk nonsense. But the truth is not what you think in your heart, on the contrary, reality sometimes likes to work against ideas.

Grandma's coffin fell to the ground, and everything began to come true according to what my father said.

Sister Liu walked around the hall and found that my mother and I were in the kitchen, stumbling to the kitchen door, and crying out, crying while crying: "Meridian mother, Lao Li is dead, Lao Li is dead." ”

The death of the rooster in the whole village is nothing, and it is not scary, but when people start to die, things are terrifying.

In the kitchen, it was cold and quiet.

Sister Liu was lying at the door, I wanted to pull her up, but the lower half of my body was like nothing, and I couldn't take a step, and my mother was even more stunned when she heard that Brother Liu was dead.

Sister Liu was too excited, her eyes rolled and fainted after crying a few times, Xu Buhuo just came out, and hurriedly pinched Sister Liu's people, as Sister Liu woke up, he looked at me and my mother, with a look of surprise, as if he didn't understand how we could stand and ignore Sister Liu.

"Mr. Xu, hurry up and take a look, my Lao Li has an accident."

Sister Liu obviously came to my house to find Xu Buhuo, and when she opened her eyes and saw Xu Buhuo, she grabbed his arm with both hands, and she was very excited.

Taking a deep breath to suppress the panic, and finally feeling the presence of my feet, I walked to the door with difficulty and helped Xu Buhuo to help Sister Liu to the recliner in front of the door.

"What's wrong? The face is so bad? ”

Xu Buhuo looked at my mother who was gradually coming back to his senses, and he was puzzled.

I opened my mouth and couldn't help but say nothing, knowing that this matter could not be mentioned by Sister Liu's side, if the people in the village knew the prophecy of my father's death, they would probably eat me and my mother.

After asking my mother to take care of Sister Liu, Xu Buhuo and I hurriedly rushed to Brother Li's house, and the people in the village also knew that Brother Li had an accident and walked to his house one by one.

When I arrived at the door of Uncle Li's house, it was very noisy inside, and I was about to go in, when Xu Buhuo suddenly pulled me to the corner and said, "What happened?" You and your mother's faces aren't normal. ”

Before, Sister Liu was not easy to say, but now there is no one around, I whispered the prophecy of my father before his death, and before I finished speaking, Xu Buhuo said in a loud voice: "Impossible, it's just nonsense." ”

If this thing hadn't happened right in front of me, I would have thought it was ridiculous, but things came true one after another, and if I didn't believe it, I wouldn't have been able to do it anyway.

"No way, no one can predict the outside, let alone your dad's gibberish."

Xu Bu still doesn't believe it, I don't believe it, because people have already begun to die, otherwise I won't believe it until the whole village is dead?

"No way, I'm sure there will be such a thing." Xu Buhuo continued to chatter.

"You think it's impossible, then you use your experience to explain to me, why did my dad die more than ten years ago when he died, and he knew that when my grandmother was buried, the chickens in the coffin would scream and die with the roosters in the village, and you explained to me how he would know that there were a hundred dead roosters more than ten years ago?"

questioned, so that Xu Buhuo opened his mouth and didn't know how to reply to me.

From the way he looked, I knew that even if he didn't believe it, he couldn't explain it, because the facts were right in front of him.

Whether it was the sudden death of the chickens in the village with the chickens in the coffin last night, or the cleaning up of the dead chicken carcasses later, he was beside him, listening to me count ninety-nine, plus exactly one hundred on the mountain. Now, Brother Li, who participated in carrying the coffin, also had an accident.

Those things that I couldn't know in advance before, whether it was the violent death of Mrs. Wang, or the fact that Liu Lezi only had a skin left, but at least traces of someone could be found.

But now, knowing that something is going to happen but not knowing why and how to stop it, you can only watch it happen, which is the most terrifying part.

According to the prophecy, the next step was the death of five other coffin bearers, who kindly came to help with the funeral but got into trouble.

Even though I know that no one can escape death, I don't want them to cause trouble because of my family's affairs. I want to block it, but I don't know what to do.

Knowing that someone is going to die but not knowing what to do, it feels extremely tormenting.

"Anyway, I don't think anyone can predict this, there must be something wrong with this." Xu Buhuo is still unable to chatter.

If it's okay, it's not so scary, the truth is that you know there's a problem but don't know where the problem is, and that's where the most powerless thing is, and I can only say, "No matter what, this thing has to be stopped as soon as possible, and no more people can die." ”

This is what I want to solve most in my heart at the moment, what to lose the seven spirits, save the village chief, find out the third person who doesn't know the identity and so on, I don't want to pay attention to it, I just want to not be dead next.

"Let's take a look in the first room, I hope there will be some clues." Xu Buhuo walked to the courtyard gate, and I followed in.

The small courtyard of Uncle Li's house was already crowded with villagers who had heard the news, and when they saw Xu Buhuo, they all hurriedly retreated, their faces full of panic.

Walking through the crowd and looking at Brother Li in the center of the hall, my heart hurt fiercely, and my whole body went soft.

Uncle Li, who was kneeling in the middle of the hall, did commit suicide, but I believe that in the entire courtyard, it is estimated that no one will believe that this is a suicide.

Uncle Li knelt on the ground with his waist straight, facing the corner of the wall in the southeast, and the fruit knife he was holding in both hands was stabbed right in the heart.

His face was even more terrifying, because instead of glaring at the boss with a painful look in his eyes, he was smiling.

It feels like when Uncle Li commits suicide, he feels that suicide is a very happy thing, whether it is from the smile that has solidified at the corner of his mouth, or the expression on his face, there is no pain in sight.

I can't imagine how Brother Li managed to stab a knife into his heart and still smile.

I feel that this knife doesn't seem to be my own body, so I can laugh like this.

Someone in the village had already called the police, and the hall was the scene of the crime, Xu Buhuo didn't step forward to move the body to see what was abnormal, and walked around Brother Li with a frown.

I was not idle, I walked around, trying to see if there were any black handprints in the house, and after I didn't find it, I asked the uncle who came first if he had seen the black handprints when he came.

I was sure that I didn't see any black handprints around, so I wondered if the black handprints would be on Brother Li's body like Liu Lezi, and I didn't know until I peeled off my clothes. I really wanted to open Uncle Li's clothes to take a look, but I thought that the police hadn't come yet, and it would be very troublesome to move the body now, so I could only hold back my curiosity.

While waiting, I noticed a phenomenon that Uncle Li's gaze was not parallel to the southeast corner of the hall, but tilted his head slightly, as if looking at a high place.

As soon as a person dies, his consciousness will lose its restraint on the body, and the muscles of the body will relax.

The fact is that Brother Li's head is raised, as if an invisible force is supporting his head, so that he can continue to look at the heights even if he is dead.

What is needed most now is a clue, and only by finding a clue can we save the coffin bearer who may die later.

I leaned behind Uncle Li, raised my head at the same height as him, and followed his gaze, thinking that I could see something, but I found that the only place he looked at was the corner of the wall.

"You come out for a moment." Xu Buhuo suddenly shouted and I went outside.

"What did you just look at?"

"His head should be hanging when he died, but he still had his head up, and I wondered if he was looking at something, but there was nothing in the corner."

"Didn't you expect that he wasn't looking at the corner?"

Xu Buhuo's words let me know that he seemed to have discovered something, and asked eagerly, "What do you mean?" ”

The people in the village looked at us, muttering and muttering that they didn't know what to say, Xu Buhuo took me around to the corner of the wall outside the courtyard where Brother Li was facing in the hall, and said, "You kneel on the ground and look at his posture, what can you see?" ”

Kneeling down, straightening up and looking up, I was numb all over.

The line of sight extends indefinitely, and the location is exactly the locust tree next to my ancestral grave. But I know that Brother Li is not looking at the locust tree, but at the grave of his grandmother buried under the locust tree.

Brother Li only carried the coffin of his grandmother last night, and now he is looking at his grandmother's grave and committing suicide with a smile, I don't know why, I only know that his death is related to his grandmother.

"Now, I know why it was so quiet on the funeral road last night." Xu Buhuo looked up at the location of the ancestral tomb and muttered.

My whole body was shaking, and I couldn't help the kind of fighting.

I know that if nothing else, the next person to die will face the direction of my grandmother's grave.
