Eight young and strong young men, under normal circumstances, let alone carrying one coffin, even two coffins can be easily lifted.

But what's going on now?

Eight people can't carry a coffin?

"Stop for a moment."

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, everyone stopped, only to see Zhang Hao walking around the grave, his brows were tightly locked, and no one knew what he was thinking.

At this time, someone said aloud: "Brother Hao, it seems... It's a bit of an evil one. ”

Then someone immediately chimed in: "Yes, there is no way that so many of us can't lift a coffin." ”

"Or..."

"Shut up." Zhang Hao glared at everyone, he had already accepted the deposit, and even the coffin was dug out, so he was asked to give up at this time, he was unwilling and reluctant.

As long as the coffin was carried away and transported to the destination, the task was basically completed, and he could get the rest of the final payment, so he decided to let it go.

"Listen to me, what bullshit demons and monsters, that's all used to scare children, don't always fucking scare yourself, the reason why the coffin can't be lifted may be that there is something in the coffin, bring the shovel and hammer." After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he jumped into the grave, and his posture made it clear that he wanted to pry the coffin open.

Sure enough, when someone had brought him a shovel and a hammer, he began to pry the lid of the coffin, and then called a few more men down to help him.

I didn't say a word on the edge of the grave, the first time I did such a lack of virtue as digging a grave, to be honest, I felt very uncomfortable, and after affirming that Li Li was ghosted, I faintly felt that something unpredictable might happen tonight, after all, digging up the grave and opening the coffin is a great disrespect to the deceased.

Also, two events that happened in quick succession made me think that the ghosts of the dead might have been booked to us.

The first, the footprints on the lid of the coffin.

At that time, I looked at it carefully several times, and I found that the footprints were obviously slightly smaller, not like our man's footprints, and the people present, I am afraid that only Xiao Ran's feet were in line with the size, but Xiao Ran was not too close to the grave from beginning to end, so the footprints on the coffin lid could not be Xiao Ran's 100%.

So, whose footprints will they be?

The second, the coffin that could not be lifted.

Eight young and strong young men, not to mention the coffin, even a hundred pounds of cattle can be easily carried, let alone a coffin?

So, what causes the coffin to not move?

It's a mystery.

No one knows at this time.

I suspect that the ghosts of the deceased are behind these two strange events, but there is one thing I can't figure out.

If both of these things are related to the ghosts of the dead, then why don't the ghosts of the dead scare us away or kill us?

At this time, the coffin lid was pried open by Zhang Hao and several other people.

The moment the coffin lid was pried open, everyone was afraid and curious to surround it, and in an instant, seven or eight flashlights were aimed at the inside of the coffin, and when the inside of the coffin was illuminated by the flashlight, we saw that the inside of the coffin was the same as we imagined.

There was a person lying inside, I guessed at first that everyone couldn't lift the coffin, probably because there was a big fat man lying in the coffin, but now I see it, how can there be a big fat man?

It's just a woman in her twenties.

A coffin plus a woman in her twenties who has died, eight people can't lift it?

When I was wondering, Zhang Hao asked someone to hand him a flashlight, and he stood in the grave to carefully examine the inside of the coffin, but it looked like there was nothing special, there was only a dead woman lying inside.

Zhang Hao couldn't figure out why he couldn't lift it, and after a while, he suddenly reached out and touched the woman's corpse.

"Zhang Hao, do you still have a little humanity? People are already dead, and you still want to take advantage? I couldn't help but scold.

Zhang Hao shuddered, obviously frightened by me, he immediately turned his head and glared at me, and said, "Lao Tzu is not so hungry and thirsty, I just want to check why the coffin can't be lifted." ”

"Really?"

"Lao Tzu is not interested in corpses."

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he glared at me again, and then turned around and reached out to open the woman's body, but there was nothing under the woman.

"Strange."

Zhang Hao muttered, the coffin couldn't be lifted just now, he thought that there were other things in the coffin besides the corpse, but now the coffin lid has been opened, and the inside of the coffin has been checked, but in addition to the corpse, there are only a few funeral clothes and some jewelry that looks worthless, and these things add up to only a few catties, can this affect the overall weight of the coffin?

Fools know that they definitely can't.

But, why can't the coffin be lifted inexplicably?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Hao couldn't think of a reason, so he simply held the mentality of trying again, and said, "Prepare for it, and try it again." ”

Others were in place and ready to go.

"Up."

After Zhang Hao's voice fell, those who were about to carry the coffin exerted their strength at the same time, but the result was the same as before.

The coffin still couldn't be lifted.

I squinted.

Now even fools can see that something is wrong.

It's not something to be happy about provoking ghosts, although I have decided to become a soul painter, but now that I am not even a first-order soul painter, how can I have the ability to fight ghosts?

So, the best thing to do at the moment is to withdraw first.

So I opened my mouth to persuade Zhang Hao: "Since you can't lift it, then let's withdraw." ”

"Damn, it's come to this point, Lao Tzu is unwilling, since the coffin can't be lifted, Lao Tzu simply takes the person away, which is much easier than carrying the coffin." After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he looked open, and then saw him take the woman's body out of the coffin.

Zhang Hao's actions frightened many people.

"Two men will carry the body up."

Zhang Hao has always been the eldest brother of these people, and his prestige is quite high, even if he is afraid of the corpse, but there are still people who consciously go to the grave to pick up the woman's body, and after Zhang Hao crawls out of the grave, he first asks people to carry the corpse aside, and then orders those who are idle to cover the coffin, and then cover the soil back.

What Zhang Hao's purpose was, it was already clear at this time.

Stealing corpses.

In addition, I probably guessed what the person who paid Zhang Hao to steal the body was trying to do, if I guessed correctly, the purpose of digging the grave and stealing the body should be to 'get married'.

Over the years, I have traveled all over the country, although I have never seen a ghost with my own eyes, but I have heard a lot of strange things and rural customs.

In some families, if a man dies and is single and unmarried, he will find a woman of the same age to be buried together, and this custom is called 'marrying'.

I've even heard that if a wealthy family can't find a woman of the same age and who is dead, they will bury her with a living person.

At first I didn't believe these country customs.

But now, I'm eighty percent convinced.

Otherwise, what would Zhang Hao do when he mobilized the crowd to dig up the grave and steal the corpse?

Ten minutes later, all the soil was re-covered, and the previous grave bag reappeared, and because it was a newly buried grave, even if someone came tomorrow, it was estimated that the body in the coffin had been stolen.

"Let's go."

Zhang Hao waved his hand, we packed up our things and retreated, and when we returned to the parking place, Zhang Hao stuffed the woman's body into the trunk and drove away.

"Where are you going now?" I asked.

"You don't have to worry where you go, the matter is basically done anyway, just wait for the money to be collected tomorrow." Zhang Hao was in a good mood, and after answering, he hummed a song.

"That's the money to collect?" I was stunned, but I didn't say this, and I didn't ask if the woman's body was stolen to someone else's family to bury her.

We went back the way we came, and when we were almost at the point where we had come before, I was secretly refreshed.

Because I don't think it's easy to start the car and make a 'crunch' sound later.

About half a minute or so, the car suddenly jolted, and at the same time, I heard the tires crunch again.

"Strange, what's the sound?" Someone wondered.

I quickly looked at the man and asked, "Did you hear that too?" ”

"Hmm."

Everyone else said they had heard.

"Stop." I shouted.

"What for?" Zhang Hao just asked, but he didn't stop.

"I'll go down and see what's pressed." I said.

"The mountain road is like that, maybe some twigs and corn stalks or something, don't make a fuss." Zhang Hao replied.

Zhang Hao didn't stop, and I didn't have a choice, so I had to give up.

But for some reason, I had a vague feeling that the sound was not like a tree branch or a corn stalk at all, but rather like the sound of crushing bones.

It's a pity that Zhang Hao doesn't stop.

After that, nothing happened, and when we returned to Huazhi Village, Zhang Hao asked us to get out of the car, leaving Li Li alone, and after we got off, he drove Li Li away, as for where they were going, I had no way of knowing.

Then everyone dispersed, and I also took Xiao Ran back to the master's house, I originally thought that tonight might have a chance for me to become a soul painter, but I thought too much.

But there will be opportunities in the future, and I will not be discouraged, and when I return to the master's house, I will clean up my room a little and let Xiao Ran live, and I will go to live in the master's room by myself, anyway, the master has gone to wander the world, and the room is empty and no one lives.

But to be honest, it's just one day, and I'm already thinking about my master, after all, I've been with my master for so many years, and I've never been separated. Before going to bed, I made a phone call to the master, but it was still turned off, and I had no choice but to sleep.

I had no dreams all night, and when I opened my eyes and woke up, it was already dawn, and I was just about to get up and wash up when someone kept knocking on the front yard door.

"Sent me money so early?"

I secretly said that Zhang Hao really kept his promise, I hurriedly got up and got dressed, and then ran to open the door in the front yard, where was Zhang Hao? It was Zhang Hao's mother.

Early in the morning, why is Zhang Hao's mother looking for me in such a hurry?

Also, I saw that her eyes were red and swollen.

I was secretly shocked, could it be that something happened to Zhang Hao?

"Master Xiaotian, is your master here?" Zhang Hao's mother asked in a choked voice.

I shook my head and said, "Auntie, my master has something to go out and won't come back for a while, do you have anything to do with him?" ”

Under normal circumstances, no one wants to take the initiative to find my master, because once they find my master, it means...

"Xiao Hao... He... He's dead, and I'll come to your master to paint him... Paint a portrait. Zhang Hao's mother choked up and burst into tears after saying this.

I looked at her in shock, opened my eyes and asked, "What, Zhang Hao is dead?" ”
