"You've figured it out?"

"Well, as long as you prove that one of the second uncle or Lao Dao is lying, you can know the truth. Although I don't know if the second uncle wants to harm me, he has a sentence that is true-I have never seen Zhou Xiaoyu's corpse, how do I know if she is really dead, or if she colluded with Lao Dao to deceive the ancient jade in my hand? ”

The fat man patted his head, "I understand, you mean to open Zhou Xiaoyu's coffin!" See if there are any corpses inside, and you will prove everything! ”

I gave a thumbs up, "Haha, smart." ”

The fat man said excitedly: "Then let's go now?" ”

I yawned, "I didn't sleep all night yesterday, I couldn't even break my eyelids, so let's sleep and wait for the evening." Besides, digging people's coffins in broad daylight is inconvenient. ”

After sleeping during the day and having dinner, we set off from the fat man's house and took a taxi to Hujiagou.

Zhou Xiaoyu's home, I walked once before, and I can't talk about it, but I still remember the way.

Hujiagou is also like most of the empty nest villages, all the way in, there are not many lights on, and a large number of houses stand at the foot of the mountain like a cardboard box.

The driver refused to stay and wait for us to leave, so we had to let him go first and call a car when it was dawn. With the route of memory, the fat man and I walked to Zhou Xiaoyu's house, and there were dogs barking behind us from time to time.

I didn't expect the fat cow to be a tall man who was afraid of dogs, and he hid behind me like a little girl.

As soon as I stopped, his massive body slammed into my back, nearly knocking me out.

"What's wrong?" The fat man wondered.

I pointed to the gate of Zhou Xiaoyu's house, a large iron gate with a copper lock, which was tightly closed, and there were broken paper money and firecracker confetti on the ground.

The fat man scratched his head, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" ”

I shook my head, "How can you be wrong about this kind of thing, do you see paper money and firecrackers on the ground?" When I came, Zhou Xiaoyu was doing the 'Qiqi' ritual, and I couldn't go wrong. It's just that the rest of her family doesn't seem to be there......"

The fat man muttered, "Does this mean that the old Taoist priest is lying...... The matter of female ghosts is nothing to do with it. ”

I shook my head again, "Not yet...... Maybe they're out on the go? In short, if you live to see people, you have to see corpses when you die, let's go and see Zhou Xiaoyu's grave, everything is clear. ”

The marginal mountain villages, and the big clans, generally have their own cemeteries, where their descendants are buried.

Hujiagou is no exception.

The fat man and I went to the cemetery in the back mountain with a shovel and hoe in the dark, and found that there were hundreds of graves of all sizes. Some are overgrown with green vines and weeds, some are newly covered, and so on.

Zhou Xiaoyu died not long ago, and her cemetery was not old. Theoretically, it shouldn't be difficult to find, but I walked around with the fat man, but I didn't find her grave.

The fat man was tired and sweating profusely, "This is very revealing, that woman is not dead at all, to put it bluntly, it is a game set up by the old way." ”

I'm still a little worried, but I'm here anyway, so let's see all the tombs.

The fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "I know you, I really poured mold for eight lifetimes." Anyway, I'll give up my life to accompany the gentleman! After that, he turned on the lamp and looked at the tombstones, and everywhere he went, he recited respectfully: there is no strangeness.

I also went to inspect separately, and suddenly heard the fat man shouting with joy: I found it!

I was overjoyed, so I went over to look, only to see the mottled tombstone written 'Zhou Xiaoyu's tomb', because of the age, the handwriting has peeled off, can only be said to be barely legible, there are small characters in the lower right corner: 'The Republic of China was established in the twenty-fifth year'.

The fat man frowned, "No, it is said that Zhou Xiaoyu died a few months ago, but this tomb looks like it has been decades old." ”

I took a few steps back and smiled wryly, "yes, almost a hundred years." ”

The fat man was surprised: "How do you know? ”

I pointed to the kid below, "Look at the kid below, the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China, that is, 1936 before liberation...... No wonder I was at Zhou Xiaoyu's funeral, it turned out that she had been dead for many years, so naturally there was no posthumous photo. ”

The fat man's mouth opened wide, "This is impossible, could it be a duplicate name?" ”

"It's possible...... "I bit my lip," I said, "just open the coffin and see if it's open." ”

The fat man was in a cold sweat, "Brother, you're not joking, are you?" "Although I knew that I had to open the coffin, when I really wanted to open it, I still had to be psychologically afraid.

I didn't speak, I took the shovel from his hand, spat into the palm of my hand, and dug it up neatly. The fat man had no choice but to come over to help.

A short time later, a coffin appeared on the ground. Because of its age, there is not much paint left on it, and the coffin is brittle and old, as if it will turn into powder when touched.

"Lu Ming, do you really want to open it?" The fat man swallowed his saliva and said weakly.

Cold sweat broke out in my palms, and I wouldn't be much better off if I was scared. But I want to know the truth more, and now that it's almost a kick in the door, it's impossible to give up.

"I'll do it."

"Wait." The fat man shouted, raised the shovel and stood next to me, wiped his nose and said: "It's been more than a hundred years, who knows if there will be zombies or something, don't worry, it will dare to harm you, my fat man will raise his hand and give it a shovel." ”

I couldn't laugh or cry, I really didn't know if he was stupid or grateful.

I jumped into the pit, clasped my hands on the gap under the coffin, and lifted it with all my might, and a gust of rotten dust came to my nose. I immediately covered my nose and walked away a few steps, and when the stench of dust cleared, the fat man and I approached with each 'dick'.

In the moonlight, I could hear each other's heartbeats.

At this time, I hoped that Zhou Xiaoyu's body was in the coffin, but also hoped that she was not in it, and my heart was extremely contradictory.

The ugly woman must see her husband at last, come.

In the next second, the fat man and I put down the 'weapon' in our hands, and each looked at each other, both reading the doubts in each other's eyes.

"Am I dazzled?"

"I don't know if you're dazzled or not, but I know I'm not."

"But there's really nothing in the coffin!"

I took a flashlight and shone it inside and out, and the coffin was indeed empty, there was nothing.

I sat on the ground, looking at the starry sky, and gasped, although the coffin was empty, it contained more information than I had imagined......

It is said that Zhou Xiaoyu died a hundred years ago, which means that she is indeed a ghost, and my doll relationship with her is nothing at all, which also proves that this matter is an old-fashioned trap. is different from what I imagined, Zhou Xiaoyu is really a ghost......

I didn't come to my senses for a while, and then I heard the fat man shout, and said a little impatiently, "What's your name?" ”

"Look."

The fat man shone a flashlight on the reverse side of the coffin board, only to see the dense nail claw prints on it, three points into the wood, with blackened bloodstains, which made people look numb in the scalp.

"What's going on?" The fat man looked at me strangely.

I rolled my eyes, "You really think of me as Sherlock Holmes, I just saw it, how can I know ......"

At this time, there was a sudden chill behind me, I couldn't help but shrink my shoulders, and a soft female voice came from behind me, "Little wrongdoer, are you here to find me......"
