Chapter 192: Ice Lake Illusion
The portrait shows a bright red dress, with satin gold patterns on top, wide cuffs, a narrow waist, and wide trousers underneath, but a pair of full little feet, on which are the "kun" shoes worn by women when they got married in ancient times, and their faces are covered with hippies.
At that time, when we were in the uncle's tomb, when we opened the coffin for the female corpse in the Nanmu coffin, we all saw this female corpse, and the portrait in front of us was clearly the female corpse lying in the coffin.
Like, it's so similar!
I was stunned, staring at the portrait blankly, my mind was in a trance, could it be that Widow He was the female corpse.
Thinking about it, this possibility is too small, what does Widow He look like, although I haven't seen it with him, but everyone in their village has seen it, whether they wake up or not, but it's always a living existence.
What does the female corpse in the Nanmu coffin look like, many people in our village have seen it in the tomb, this woman is indeed dead, and when the female corpse was in our village, Widow He did not come out of Sheung Shui Village, no matter what you think, these two cannot be one person.
Not only is it not a person, but it cannot be an age.
I stared at the portrait again, even if the figure was very similar, but people of different ages could still have the same clothes.
While I was stunned, a tornado blew up, like a wind and clouds, and rolled up the earth around the tomb.
The sand blinded my eyes, and I didn't dare to open my eyes, so I could only squat on the ground with my head in my hands, and the sand and soil particles scraped my body like a small sharp knife.
I don't know how long it took, but the wind stopped, and I finally opened my eyes, but I couldn't see the portrait anymore, and a small mound of earth had formed in front of me, like a new grave.
This was followed by an eerie cry, as if there were countless hooping foxes roaring around, and the sound was eerie and piercing.
No, I didn't let the portrait lie in the ground, and I don't know where I got the courage, so I dug up the mound with my hands.
Blood was oozing from the cracks of my fingernails, but it didn't stop, and slowly, the loess in front of me turned color, gradually becoming cold and transparent, spreading little by little, as if it had frozen the surface of the lake, clear to the bottom.
I continued to dig hard, but in vain, I looked towards the ice, and under the bottom of the lake, there was the coffin, and the woman, like a portrait, lay quietly in the coffin.
A person appeared in the picture, although the clothes were a little different, but I could see very clearly, that person was actually myself, I lay on top of the Nanmu coffin, pulled out a sharp knife, and stabbed myself in the chest.
This kind of scene is so weird, I actually saw me kill myself with my own hands, I quickly shook my head, thinking that I was wrong, but the blood in my chest kept flowing, soaking the surrounding ice, and the blood jade in my chest was in sharp pain, and I fell.

I don't know how long it took, but I sat up all at once, "Woman, that woman!" β
"What woman?" A familiar voice remembered, "Wake up, you've been in a coma for almost a day?" β
The person who spoke was the third grandmother, and after glancing around, I was not in the uncle's grave, but on the kang of the third grandmother.
I quickly grabbed the third grandmother's hand and said to her, "Woman, that woman, the woman inside the Nanmu coffin, in the uncle's tomb, around, surrounded by ice!" β
"Are you burned and confused, where is there any ice in your uncle's grave early in the morning?" The third grandmother was confused by my words.
"I really saw the woman, and the coffin, and the ice all around!" I was a little incoherent, and then lifted the quilt on my body, "No, I have to save her!" β
The third grandmother pressed me, "It's getting dark, what are you doing there?" Besides, where did we come back, where is the ice? β
"Really?" I asked the third grandmother.
"Not really!" The third grandmother said with certainty.
I sat on the kang with my buttocks, could it be that everything that happened just now was actually an illusion? But if it's a fantasy, it's too clear.
"Third grandmother, I saw it, that woman is really at the bottom of a frozen lake!"
The third grandmother saw that my expression was very serious, and knew that I was not lying, so she also analyzed, "Could it be that the woman is giving you a dream?" β
I shook my head, "I don't know, I don't know!" Suddenly remembered something, "Third grandmother, have you brought Grandpa Sun back from the uncle's tomb, how is he?" β
The third grandmother sighed, "Still hasn't woken up, no one dares to touch him, no, he's still lying in that coffin!" β
"I still haven't woken up!" I was disappointed, "But, why did you put him in your yard, you're a woman after all, and you're in a coffinβ"
"You don't know those old men in our village, relying on their short lifespan, it is taboo to carry the coffin to their own yard, I said then let me come here!"
"But, he's like this, how can I take him to see that old lady who touches his bones!" Grandpa Sun didn't wake up, and I really ran out of ideas.
"I'm thinking about finding a master to show him and see if I can wake him up! It's been pleased! The third grandmother said to me.
She has a point, if she opens the coffin for no reason, and then destroys Grandpa Sun's divine sense, it won't be worth the loss, but I don't have any illusions about the master, and who else can be as tall as Grandpa Sun.
"By the way, Third Grandma, how do you know that I am in my uncle's grave?" I asked the third grandmother.
"You went to Shangshui Village, and you didn't come back for three days, Sun Hou's three-day deadline is about to expire, so I will send someone to your tomb to pick up Sun Hou back, I don't know what happened in Shangshui Village, have you succeeded? I was still worried, so I sent someone to Sheung Shui Village in the morning to ask, and they said that you had come back, and we thought you would go home, so we asked people to go to your house to ask, but they didn't see you. β
"So, you went to my uncle's tomb to look for me?"
"Well, I just thought about where you can go if you are not at home, the old yard of the Yishui family has gone, and the old yard of your uncle's family has also gone, but I haven't seen you, so I wondered if since Sun Hou is in the tomb, will you go to find him, but you are really lying on the grave?"
"There's really no ice on the grave?" I still don't believe what I'm seeing is a hallucination.
"What ice? Really no, are you confused in your head, when we found you, your nails were full of blood, and there was a big hole in your head! βγ
Only then did I notice that there was a piece of gauze wrapped around my head, and I tore it off with all my might, and said to the third grandmother, "It's okay, you don't need to bring broken things, I'm blood jade, it'll be fine in a while!" β
According to the third grandmother's words, I did go to the tomb and did pick out the picture with my fingers, as for the ice, it was probably my hallucination.
However, what exactly does this illusion want to sue me, is it something that happened before, or something that will happen in the future, whether the woman in this Nanmu coffin is now at the bottom of a cold lake, I really don't know.
The third grandmother was stunned when she saw me, interrupted my thoughts, and said excitedly, "The spring is good, it's really good, a man, you have made a great contribution this time." β
When she said this, I remembered that I was patronizing the matter of thinking about the illusion, and I actually forgot to report to the third grandmother.
"Well, that's right!"
"I sent someone to Shangshui Village back to tell me that he went to the spring to see, the water flow is very strong, and now some powerful people in the village have gone to Shangshui Village to transport water, and the water tanks of every household have bottomed out, and you can be regarded as relieving everyone's urgent need."
The compliment of the third grandmother made me a little embarrassed, "These are all things I should do, after all, it is a big matter for the village to draft!" β
"It's a big deal, it seems that your room is really round, it is estimated that Yishui still can't get over that hurdle at that time! I've wronged you! β
I really don't feel aggrieved in my heart, to put it bluntly, there is still a trace of enjoyment, "Well, actually, I think the man born on July 15 that Widow He is looking for is not Yishui, it seems to be me!" β
The third grandmother glanced at me, "Really? Why? β
I don't know what to say all of a sudden, that familiar feeling, and the portrait, even if I come with the third grandmother, she may not be able to understand it.
When the third grandmother saw that I didn't squeak, she didn't ask anymore, but sighed, "Good girl, why did you jump into the river?" β
