I didn't dare dig any further, in case it was really a coffin that had been buried for years. I cleaved the outermost plank, and a dead man's hand came at me through the hollow.

I don't dare to think about it anymore.

All I have to do now is to survive, climb up quickly, and escape by breaking through the dirt that weighs on my head. I quickly grabbed a handful of dirt from the side and stuffed it into the hollow that had just been dug out, blocking the hand of the corpse that I had imagined in my mind.

Just as I was sweating all over my body and was about to dig a new hollow next to me, suddenly two different voices came from this pitch-black space.

"Brother Bai, it's been two hundred years, and we're finally going to see the light of day again."

"Yes, Brother Kim. Finally someone dug us out, hahaha, we're going to see the light of day again......"

At the bottom of this small pit, the voices of two old men suddenly echoed.

Two hundred years, see the light of day again?

My mother, could it be that what I dug up just now was really a coffin, and there were two old people's bodies lying in it?

Are they going to jump out of their coffins and wander through the underworld?

I'm going to cry, why am I so unlucky.

The first ghost I encountered when I first came to the underworld was a long-haired water ghost, and although it didn't do anything to me, the long hair scared me enough.

Immediately after that, I rowed here, and was robbed of all my belongings by a shot demon and thrown into this deep pit to die. And even more unlucky, I wanted to dig a few hollow holes in the wall and step on it to escape, but I didn't think that I had dug up a coffin with my hands, and the corpses of two old men might lie inside.

All of a sudden, I felt like my bladder was swollen, and if I didn't go out to drain the water, I would definitely have to pee my pants.

My feet were in two empty slots, my back against the sturdy muck behind me. I stretched out my hands and pushed the branches above my head together.

The soil on the thick branches and leaves was not trampled by the demons. I felt that if I pushed it up, it wouldn't take much effort to push through all the dirt and climb out of the pit.

I pushed it up a few times. Just as the dirt above my head was loosening a little, a low voice slowly came from my ears.

"Little brother, don't be afraid, we are not dead people or ghosts. We are a large family two hundred years ago, and we brought the funeral goods of the dead lady to the underworld. ”

"That day, we had just crossed the Ghost River by boat from the other side, and as soon as we got here, the river suddenly swelled. The ghost of my young lady and the paper man, paper horse, and paper girl who burned with her were instantly washed away by the vast river. ”

"Brother Bai and I are paper palanquins, carrying gold and silver treasures in wooden boxes. The ghost of the sedan chair and the lady sitting in it were swept away by the river in a blink of an eye. The wooden box that Brother Bai and I packed together was washed here along the current. ”

"Over the past two hundred years, the river has risen and fallen countless times, crushing our wooden boxes little by little under a few meters. Hey, it's been 200 years, and finally a hand has touched us again. Brother, dig us out. ”

"For 200 years, countless ghosts have walked on us. Under their influence, we slowly gained energy. I am a hundred taels of gold, and Brother Bai is a hundred taels of silver, and if you dig us out, we will be yours. ”

"You mean, you are gold and silver ingots in wooden boxes?" I believed the words that came from the void in my ears, and spoke to the voice in the darkness of the space.

"That's right, you can dig it with confidence. Our box is not far in front of you. The voice in my ear said slowly.

"But there's a ghost up there trying to harm me."

"Don't be afraid, it's gone." The old man's voice said to me.

"He's gone, can you be sure?" I'm a little unconvinced.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you." The old man's voice said, "That ghost only ran into this forest a year ago to dig a pit to frame new ghosts passing by. We've been here for 200 years, and we've seen it countless times a year. But the devil's conduct was so bad that even if it dug the pit close to us, we did not come out and tell it that it had a chest of two hundred taels of gold and silver. ”

"Little brother, don't worry about digging it, it's really gone."

Listening to a kind voice assured me that the demon was gone. But my heart was full of mixed feelings.

The ghost is gone, I can just dig out of the pit and continue on the road to find my cousin. But again, it took everything I had.

There was less and less oxygen in the pit, and I had to hurry up and climb up. I used all the strength to feed. In just two or three minutes, I pushed all the dirt off my head.

Clasped his hands on the edge of the pit and stepped on the dirt behind him with both feet. I jumped out of the dirt pit and breathed fresh air again.

I looked around, and the ghost who had stolen my things was long gone. It was useless to complain, and it was even more useless to sigh, so he quickly dug out the gold and silver ingots buried in the ground, and asked them which direction the ghost had gone.

I walked in the direction of the woods, and found a few stout branches from the ground that had fallen.

Standing on the edge of the one-meter-square pit, I poked my head with the broad branches of a thick tree against the wall of the pit. In just ten minutes, I dug out the wooden box containing a hundred taels of gold and silver that was talking to me from the soil.

This is really a wooden box that is only 100 years old, and after countless river soaks in the river water over the past 200 years, this box with a mottled and tattered surface was lightly touched by my fingers, and the place where it touched instantly collapsed.

"Excuse me, are you two still there?" I said to the tattered box.

After waiting for half a minute, the two people who claimed to be Old Man Jin and Old Man Bai didn't answer me. I continued to call them, but as before, I broke a corner of the chest and the gold and silver ingots that had been exposed, and answered my call no more.

Forget it, don't talk if you don't speak. It is likely that they will see the light of day after 200 years, and they have been blown away by the wind.

The place where I escaped from the pit was outside the woods, and it was too harsh to stand here and open a box of gold and silver ingots. The dense woods were nearby, and I picked up my box and ran into it.

I found a large leeward tree and slowly opened the box. Oh my God, I was completely shocked by the scene in front of me.

The gold ingots of ten taels and the silver ingots of ten taels are neatly arranged in two rows in the wooden box. That's ten pounds of gold and ten pounds of silver!

I've grown up and seen the most gold and silver jewelry in the city center. But even the gold and silver jewelry in the store is not as shocking as the gold and silver ingots in front of me.

I was robbed of my backpack and its contents by a ghost. But I didn't get a box of gold and silver ingots, and my heart was pounding.

I know that if this gold and silver were to be exchanged for money in the market, it would definitely be a lot of money. But the problem in front of me is that after two hundred years of soaking, the wooden box shatters at the slightest touch of the skin. I couldn't carry it and the gold and silver ingots inside to find Liu Xin.

And the underworld is so big, I can't even tell the difference between the east and the west. I hid them in one place, and there's a good chance I won't find them in the blink of an eye.

What can I do, the huge wealth I just got can't be thrown away easily.

I wanted to hide them in this wood, but the problem still came, I couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south of the underworld, and I probably wouldn't be able to find it back if I walked a little further. Moreover, just now the old man of the gold ingots said that they often see evil ghosts and new ghosts here, and this is almost where the old nest of evil ghosts is. I'll put it here, so I might as well give it to the demon.

How is this good!

Wait, what's that?

Suddenly, under a tree not far away, a small blue schoolbag was swaying in the wind and hanging under a branch. It was a child's school bag, abandoned there for some reason.

Phew, it must have been a good thing done by the condemned prisoner. It lies in ambush in the depths of the woods, waiting for a certain dead child to come to the underworld, carrying the delicious sacrifices burned by his parents on his back, jumping out and snatching the children's things, and then ......

I remembered what had happened to me and suddenly I didn't dare to think about it.

The blue bag was hanging from under a branch, and it was probably the work of the evil spirit.

In other words, not far from here, will there be a child's ghost that is also cruelly buried in some pit by it?
