Chapter 15: Digging a Grave
Wang Yichen was born in a big city since he was a child, and he has never been to the countryside, let alone going up the mountain in the middle of the night.
It turns out that the plot of going up the mountain easily on the big night that I watched in the TV series is too fake. The mountains were densely wooded, the dirt roads were rugged, and it was late at night, so it was pitch black except for the range of the flashlight, and there was nothing to see.
Along the way, not only him, but everyone walked extremely hard. Because they were not familiar with the terrain here, they stumbled along the way, which can be described as difficult. Wang Yichen pushed aside the branches in front of him, and he couldn't count how many times his face had been touched by these nasty branches.
"Scratched blood...... Hey, I'm going to have a scar. Fortunately, it will be repaired when I return to the space, otherwise my handsome face will be ruined......" He muttered to himself as he wiped the blood stains from his face.
Chu Shuguang was panting, and he was very tormented when he walked up the mountain road because of his fatter physique. He glanced at Wang Yichen beside him, and couldn't help but complain about the other party: "You said you are a big man, why are you so stinky and beautiful?" The little girl persisted until now, and she didn't complain a word. ”
"Because I'm handsome, this face is my life, of course you won't understand." Wang Yichen narcissistically flicked his bangs.
"How long will it take to walk this damn broken road......" Chu Shuguang's heart became even more irritable at the thought of doing something as physically exhausting as digging graves later. On the other hand, the other four performed much better than these two.
Because Dai Shikai and Xu Qing have maintained high-intensity exercise for a long time, climbing the mountain is not too physically demanding for them. As for Dominic, his physical fitness itself is much better than that of ordinary people, and after entering the space, he has formulated a series of fitness plans for himself. He believes that the premise of survival is to have a strong body, otherwise when encountering danger, the slowest runner must die the fastest.
And Aina, who looks the most squeamish, has always gritted her teeth and followed the team closely along the way, as Chu Shuguang said, not only did she not lag behind, but she didn't even say a word of complaint, which had to make people look at her differently.
Wang Yichen originally wanted to offer to rest, but seeing that the others didn't have any intention of staying, he had to grit his teeth and continue to follow. But fortunately, after walking for half an hour, Dominic at the front of the line finally stopped.
"Here we are."
Looking at the light source of the flashlight, everyone saw a scene that made the scalp tingle.
In a clearing behind the dense forest, a lonely grave stood alone. There are a lot of fruits and a plate of roast chicken in front of the grave, and there are yellow and white paper money scattered on the ground.
I heard Lao Zhang say that there are rules in the village, and people who die in vain are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave. At a young age, Huzi died in the farmland for no apparent reason, which is already very, very taboo in itself.
According to the township, his death was full of resentment, and entering the ancestral grave would not only affect the fortune of his family, but also hurt the lives of his family in serious cases. The Wang family was grief-stricken, but they had to find this rule to do. Therefore, they had to bury their children on the other side of the mountain, far from the ancestral grave.
"I'm sorry, kid." Dai Shikai took out a lighter from his pocket, touched three sticks of incense and lit them, and bowed respectfully in front of the grave in a decent manner: "Now my brothers and sisters have no choice but to disturb your rest." You've been killed by that demon too, so please do us a favor. But don't worry, if I can, I'll help you get revenge, and I promise I won't let it go! ”
The other people on the side looked at his sudden move, and suddenly felt extremely panicked in their hearts. There are countless people who have been killed by ghosts during the mission, but there is a possibility that they will become ghosts after death.
If this child dies and becomes a ghost, then now that they are here, will they not be killing themselves?
Thinking of this, they had already begun to take out the props from their arms and enter a state of alert.
"It's not as evil as you think." Dai Shikai put the incense in his hand on the ground, and after turning around and seeing the frightened expressions of the others, he couldn't help laughing: "There are so many people who have died in the mission, and there are few who have really turned into ghosts. ”
After saying that, he took out the folded armor shovel from the package behind him and stood in front of the grave. Dai Shikai took off his glasses from his face and took them into his arms. At this moment, his eyes, which always seemed lazy on weekdays, finally became serious: "Little friend, excuse me." ”
Seeing that Dai Shikai had already started, several other people also unloaded their equipment and joined the team of digging graves. Dominic sighed, as if thinking of something. He hesitated for a few seconds, but finally picked up the tool and stepped forward to get to work.
Aina is in charge of guarding the situation in the vicinity, and if something goes wrong, she must notify her teammates immediately. It's so late, and naturally no one on the mountain will come again. What they need to watch out for is not a person, but the resentful spirit that killed Wang Hu.
Because it was a new burial, the soil on the coffin was loose, and everyone dug it up quickly.
In just over ten minutes, they saw the dark corner of the coffin.
Soon, they dug up Wang Hu's grave.
"Someone to help!" Dai Shikai didn't say a word, and jumped directly into the dirt pit, and Xu Qing saw this situation and jumped down without hesitation.
Wang Yichen and Chu Shuguang were responsible for throwing tools down, and Dai Shikai and Xu Qing respectively held nail pickers and pried out the nails nailed around the coffin one by one.
When the last nail was pulled out, Dai Shikai and Xu Qing stood at both ends of the coffin, and together they lifted the coffin lid.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the moment the coffin lid was lifted, the leaves in the woods suddenly rattled, and for some reason, there was a gust of wind on the ground.
Wang Yichen was frightened and had goosebumps, he swallowed nervously and looked around.
At the same time, Aina, who was standing behind them to let out the wind, suddenly saw a black shadow, quickly slicing behind the trees.
Her pupils contracted suddenly, and she subconsciously raised her flashlight and shone it in that direction. But that direction was empty, and there was nothing.
Aina's heart skipped a beat, she didn't know if it was a hallucination caused by her nervousness, or if there was something hiding nearby...... She didn't dare to think about it and decided to tell the others about it.
"it!"
And at this time, Chu Shuguang's exclamation interrupted her train of thought.
Ayina leaned over curiously, not knowing what was going on on Dai Shikai's side. And just when she saw the scene in the pit, a face that had just turned a little pale from fright faded in an instant......
