Chapter 21: Two Coffins Missing
Xue Liangui and I hurriedly got out of the house and saw a few people supporting the old ninth master, standing trembling at the door.
Xue Liangui's face turned a little pale, "What's wrong?" ”
The old ninth master said: "Those coffins that were carried away yesterday, I don't know why, are back in the ancestral hall again!" ”
"What?" Xue Liangui's face changed suddenly.
I was also shocked, why did the coffin that I just carried away yesterday come back? Is this ancestral hall so evil?
Xue Liangui and I hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, took a group of people, hurried to the ancestral hall, and saw that in the big pit of the ancestral hall, dozens of coffins were neatly arranged, and those coffins that were carried away yesterday really appeared in the ancestral hall and were placed in the center of the big pit.
Above these coffins was the corpse of the woman. The female corpse was erected by three pieces of peach wood, covered with a white cloth, and under her was the purple gold compass.
Xue Liangui's face was gloomy, as if he was going crazy.
This thing is really weird, the coffin that was obviously carried away yesterday actually came back today, and the female corpse did not move at all, it was still the same as when she left yesterday.
"Mr. Xue, what's going on?" The old ninth master looked at Xue Liangui almost pleadingly.
Xue Liangui gritted his teeth, turned over and went down into the pit alone, and walked around the female corpse three times, with almost no expression on his face.
Lao Jiu Ye and I stood outside the big pit, staring at Xue Liangui's movements, and seeing him below, occasionally touching those coffins, occasionally stepping on the soil on the edge of the big pit, I felt a little inexplicable.
After Xue Liangui climbed up, the old ninth master hurriedly stepped up, "Mr. Xue, what the hell is going on?" ”
Xue Liangui said in a deep voice: "Tell everyone not to panic, this is artificial, someone deliberately carried the coffin that was carried away yesterday and carried it back again!" ”
"Who is it? Who can do such a thing? The old ninth master patted his thigh, "This is a loss of conscience!" ”
I felt a little palpitating in my heart for no reason, and a figure flashed in my mind, as if I had guessed some outcome.
Xue Liangui said: "But the coffin in this is two less than yesterday!" ”
"Two mouthfuls less?" The old ninth master was stunned for a moment.
Xue Liangui nodded and said, "That's right, there are indeed two mouthfuls missing, you go and ask the people in the village, come over and confirm, whose coffin has been carried over, and whose family is missing......"
Old Ninth Master sighed, "What's the matter......"
After saying this, the old ninth master had already left with someone, and this was to start confirming who the two coffins were missing.
Xue Liangui's eyes looked at me and said, "Yang Sheng, who do you think did this?" ”
I panicked and said, "I don't know!" ”
Xue Liangui sneered and said, "Don't pretend to be confused with Dao Ye, you already have the answer in your heart, but you don't dare to confirm it!" ”
I didn't know what to say, I just kept my head down and didn't dare to speak.
Xue Liangui sneered and said: "Yang Sheng, this matter is getting more and more evil, and it is no longer something that I can solve with Dao Ye, but Dao Ye I am not reconciled, I was broken by this Wang Chuanhe's four spirit true bodies, and the stone platform in the river was placed again, and now this ancestral hall is also making trouble......
"Mr. Xue, you really can't help it?" I asked in horror, if even Xue Liangui can't solve it, then who should solve it?
Xue Liangui stared at me for a long time and said, "You don't have to be afraid, I said yesterday, if this coffin is carried away, I can't guarantee that something will happen." Now it seems that someone didn't want these coffins to be carried away, and they carried the coffins back at night, and this person who shot it knows some secrets, and maybe there is a way to solve the matter in your village! ”
I had my mouth open, and I had mixed feelings.
Mr. Xue was silent for a moment and said, "If you carry these coffins away today, do you say that the person who made the shot will still carry the coffins back?" ”
My heart was shocked, and I stared at Xue Liangui for a long time.
At this time, the old ninth master came back with a group of people, the people in the village followed, and the big guy stood on the edge of the big pit outside the ancestral hall, pointing to the coffin in the pit.
More and more coffins were identified by everyone, but only two coffins were not found in the big pit.
One is the coffin of the second leper and his father Old Man Xie, and the other is the coffin of Shen Mo's first husband, the eldest brother Chen who died in the cave room on a candle night.
The second leper was proud to bow his hand to the surroundings, saying that his father was a blessed person, so he was not dug up, and at this time he should go to burn some paper and pay tribute to the old man.
Xue Liangui pulled me and said, "Let's go, go to the cemetery and take a look, since that person has carried all the coffins back, he won't leave two mouthfuls, there must be something strange in this." ”
I also agreed with Xue Liangui's statement in my heart, and hurriedly took him and rushed towards the cemetery.
After arriving at the cemetery, I was really moved, the cemetery of Sanwangzhai was dug up in a mess, and after those coffins were dug up, only the devastated grave pit was left.
Xue Liangui just glanced at the grave pit, then turned around and walked in the direction of the second leper.
I thought that since the coffin of the second leper and his father was not in the ancestral hall, it must have escaped a catastrophe, but who knew that on the grave, a pit the size of a stove pit was still exposed, and only a dilapidated coffin was left inside, and the remains of the old man Xie were gone.
The second leper couldn't help it, and scolded: "Who did it?" If Lao Tzu is caught, he has to be skinned alive, let him know that no one can mess with my two lepers! ”
When the people around looked around, they all muttered a few words one after another, but they didn't dare to say anything.
"Yang Sheng, you say, did you do it? When your father came back to take revenge, he went to find Zhang's second family, why did he dig my family's grave? "The second leper had no place to vent his anger, so he sprinkled it on me.
I looked at him with a cold face, "Who did this, it's still unclear, how do you know that I did it?" ”
"Who else but you? Your father has come back to take revenge, and your family is not going to make the village feel better! "The two lepers are spilled.
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, although I was angry in my heart, but I also knew that at this time, I couldn't care, because I seemed to be able to guess who was behind this.
Xue Liangui stared at the grave pit, squatted down and looked at it, his face was like dead ashes.
"Yang Sheng, take me to the grave of the little widow's house to have a look......" Xue Liangui sighed.
I hurriedly took him and rushed towards the Chen family cemetery, and when I arrived at the cemetery, I saw Shen Mozhi standing in front of the grave, covering his cheeks with both hands, his body was like duckweed, tears flowed out from between his fingers, and his appearance was poignant.
People say that if you want to be filial piety, this is talking about wearing white clothes and looking poignant, although the current Shen Moying is not wearing white clothes, but his appearance is absolutely poignant.
I felt distressed for no reason, but I didn't care about comforting her, because I saw that in front of Shen Moying, a hole the size of a stove was still exposed, and the coffin inside was broken, and Brother Chen's body was missing.
Xue Liangui hurriedly walked over, touching the broken tomb with one hand, and his face became even more gloomy.
I originally wanted to comfort Shen Mocheng, but I was pulled aside by Xue Liangui, "Yang Sheng, something happened......
"What's wrong?" I was terrified.
Xue Liangui said in a deep voice: "These two coffins were not dug up, but broken by themselves!" ”
"What do you mean?" I was stunned for a moment, and I felt a chill rushing to my head.
Xue Liangui said: "The coffins that were carried into the ancestral hall were all dug up and deliberately carried over. I am very sure of this, but the coffins of the remaining two are still in the grave, and the lid of the coffin has been broken. Look at the broken marks, this should have been scratched open from the inside, and it was torn open by hand! In other words, the people inside these two coffins have deceived the corpses......"
"Tricked corpses?" I was stunned all of a sudden, the female corpse has not been solved yet, why is there someone deceiving the corpse again?
Xue Liangui pulled me aside, glanced at Shen Moying, who was still crying, and said, "The death of these two people must be strange, and they were even killed. It's fine if they are buried in the ground, but someone dug them up and sent them to the ancestral hall after they died, so it led to resentment and corpse mutiny......"
I listened to Xue Liangui's words, and my face changed a little. If Brother Chen's death is said to be due to a catastrophe, but when Old Man Xie died, there was nothing special?
My impression of Old Man Xie is only about six or seven years old, although the old man is a little short-tempered, but he is much better than the two lepers and three brothers, at least he seems to be kind. When he died, I was not very old, so I didn't have much of an impression, but I knew that this old man Xie was the first person to see my father's body on the Wang Chuan River.
At this time, the old ninth master also rushed over, and with the support of people, his body was swinging.
These days, the old ninth master has really worked hard, if it goes on like this, no one knows if he can hold it.
"Mr. Xue, what do you say? The corpse is in the ancestral hall, so you can't just leave it there, right? The old ninth master asked pleadingly.
Xue Liangui was silent for a moment and said, "Then let people pull the coffin out, bury it back to the cemetery first, and leave the rest to me!" ”
The old ninth master could only nod and leave with a group of people, Xue Liangui was afraid that they would move the female corpse, so he followed the group of people and returned to the ancestral hall for the time being.
I stood outside the Chen family cemetery, looking at Shen Moying who was sad and crying, and I was a little distressed. But I also know that it might be better to let her cry at this time.
After a long time, Shen Mozhi stopped crying, turned his head and walked towards the outside of the cemetery, looking a little aware.
I didn't know how to comfort me, so I could only say, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely ask Mr. Xue to help you find the body." ”
Shen Mozhi just nodded slightly, and his eyes were red again.
I sent Shen Mozhi back, I rushed to the ancestral hall alone, and the big guy carried out all the coffins in the ancestral hall, and then Xue Liangui calmed the female corpse again, and then climbed out of the big pit.
Around the ancestral hall, Xue Liangui was under martial law, and anyone could enter.
Xue Liangui sat outside the ancestral hall with a disgraced face, and said with a deep gaze: "Yang Sheng, do you know why I still want people to carry the coffin away?" ”
"Why?" I asked, and although I had a vague guess in my heart, I didn't dare to show it.
Xue Liangui said faintly: "Actually, you should know, who is the person who made the shot, tonight, maybe it's time for us to have a showdown with him......"
