Chapter 5 The coffin in the courtyard

After more than two hours of trekking, Li Zeyan and his entourage finally passed through the dense forest and saw the village in the middle of the island.

The island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, with forests on the east, south, and west, and a barren mountain on the north. And this village is surrounded by dense forests in the middle of the island, located at the foot of the mountain.

However, to the surprise of the four, upon observation, they found that this one did not seem to be inhabited at all. Not to mention that I didn't see any lights after waiting for a long time, and I couldn't even see half a figure.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, the four of them had to come out of the jungle and decided to enter the village to find out.

At first glance, the village looks like an ordinary village, with bricks and concrete walls, but the village has been abandoned for a long time. When he came to the door of a house, Wang Hai casually pushed open the door in front of him, and then choked on the falling dust and coughed.

He flapped his sleeves and waved them for a long time, and then he could barely see the scene inside the house. It was an ordinary living room, and when he noticed that the floor was full of dust, he turned to Betsy and said, "It's dirty here, you can wait for our news in the yard." ”

However, Betsy was not as squeamish as he imagined, the girl shook her head stubbornly, and said, "It's okay, I have to live here tonight anyway, it doesn't matter if it's dirty or not." ”

"Alright then, be careful." When Wang Hai spoke, Li Zeyan and Zhang Jingrui had already entered the house one after the other.

The living room is small in size, and the strangest thing is that there are two bowls of blackened rice and a few dishes on the table. Although there are traces of human life, the extent of the ash indicates that it has been abandoned for at least several years.

Wang Hai was very puzzled: "The meal on the table is only half eaten, and the people left in a hurry, what happened here?" ”

"Let's go take a look." Li Zeyan said. Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen, and after a few people searched hard in the dark, they found matches from the kitchen stove, and then Zhang Jingrui found a few candles. After lighting the candle, the vision in front of me became much clearer. The kitchen was as dusty as the living room, and the walls were yellowed and peeled off a lot. There is still some leftover rice in the big pot on the stove, but after more than ten years, these rice have long since spoiled and blackened and cannot be eaten.

"Hey, look at the backyard." Through the kitchen window, Betsy saw what seemed to be something in the yard behind the kitchen.

Everyone held candles and pushed open the back door, and Li Zeyan took the lead and was the first to enter the backyard. After seeing what was in front of him clearly, he frowned slightly. Zhang Jingrui, who arrived the second time, reacted similarly to him, and the two stood side by side at the narrow kitchen entrance, neither of them moving a step forward.

"Brother Liu, what's behind that?" Wang Hai and Betsy were blocked by their bodies, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Coffin." Li Zeyan turned sideways slightly, making room for the two.

I saw that in the moonlight, there were two black coffins, quietly placed side by side in the backyard.

"This ......" Wang Hai held a candle and looked at the scene in front of him blankly. A cold wind blew, and the candles in everyone's hands were suddenly extinguished.

"it!! Ahhh Wang Hai screamed in fright, and Zhang Jingrui on the side was startled by his high decibels, and covered his ears impatiently: "I'm annoyed, can you be quiet?" Don't be so surprised. ”

"I'm sorry, I just thought it was a ...... What's that. "As the saying goes, don't talk about people during the day, and don't talk about ghosts at night. Thinking of this, Wang Hai stopped the car in time.

"Is there anyone in the coffin?" Becky's voice trembled. Although she was afraid, she behaved very well, always resisting her fear without screaming once, and never dragging the team back from the beginning to the present. This made Li Zeyan a little impressed by her.

Li Zeyan did not respond immediately, but re-lit the candle in his hand and walked to the front of the two coffins. He didn't fear too much, and directly reached out and touched the coffin lid. Looking at the thick layer of ash on the abdomen of his fingers, Li Zeyan thought thoughtfully.

What's in the coffin......

With doubts in his heart, Li Zeyan held the coffin lid with both hands, and with a slight effort, he forcibly opened the coffin.

"Empty?" Wang Hai had the courage to step forward to take a look, but the result was a little unexpected. The two worked together to open another coffin, only to find that it was also an empty coffin.

"Hey, it scared the hell out of me. It's okay, it's okay...... It must be a custom in this village. In the countryside, burials are popular. I guess every family will have a coffin in the yard. It's just too unlucky......" Wang Hai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go to another house." Zhang Jingrui found a paper lantern in the house, and with it, he didn't have to worry about the candle being blown out suddenly, let alone being frightened by Wang Hai.

"Brother Liu, you said that there won't really be no one in this village......" Wang Hai touched his cooing belly, and said with a sad face: "It's okay to say anything else, if that's the case, what should we do about our eating and drinking problems." Nearly four hours have passed since he woke up, and Wang Hai estimates that it should be seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and it is time for dinner. Running all the way until now, not only him, but the physical strength of others has almost been exhausted.

"I knew I could see if there were any wild fruits on the way here, or catch a hare! That's it for today's dinner. Wang Hai muttered.

After Zhang Jingrui heard his words, he shook his head, and didn't seem to agree with him: "Didn't you notice it on the way here?" ”

"Huh? What the? Wang Hai scratched his head a little puzzled, looking dazed.

Betsy, who was on the side, patiently explained: "Think about it, did we meet the poisonous snake and poisonous ant that Liu Jun said on the way here?" ”

"Nope." Wang Hai shook his head, the road was quite easy, except for the occasional weeds and branches, they were very lucky, they had not even seen the shadow of a snake.

"Did you hear the birds in the woods?" Becky's words finally reminded him, and Wang Hai suddenly remembered that it seemed that all the way through, there was always silence in the forest, not to mention the birds, and he had never seen a single insect in the trees.

"I'm afraid there are no other living creatures on this island except for a few of us." Zhang Jingrui's words made his scalp tingle, and a cold wind blew, frightening him into a cold sweat behind him.

"And the two coffins in the yard just now, the ash on them is too heavy." Li Zeyan expressed his analysis.

He groped around the lid of the coffin and found that the coffin was not too meticulously workmanlike, but it was very stocky. The thick layer of ash accumulated on the surface made Li Zeyan care the most.

The ash is about the same thickness as in the house, but that's where the blame lies.

Unlike the furniture in the house, the coffin is placed in the open backyard. Although it has been abandoned for more than ten years, this island is located on the sea, so there is always a lot of windy and rainy weather, right? Why is the ash on the coffin still so thick, and there is no trace of rain washing it away?

Could it be that there hasn't been a single rain on the island in the past ten years? So how can the trees and plants on this island still grow so luxuriantly? There is also the strange phenomenon that there are no creatures in the forest......

"This is not the real world." Li Zeyan spoke loudly. If this is what I think, then all this weirdness seems to be explained.

This time, Wang Hai was not surprised. After listening to Zhang Jingrui's words, he was already scared stupid. And Li Zeyan's words poured him like a basin of cold water. At this time, Wang Hai was chilled, and he always felt that there was something terrifying hidden in this mysterious village.

At this moment, there was only the footsteps of a few of them in the dark village, and the lantern in Li Zeyan's hand emitted a faint yellow light, and the candlelight shone on the muddy road, everything looked particularly weird. Wang Hai swallowed his saliva, he had even begun to make up his brain, and suddenly a pair of small feet wearing embroidered shoes appeared in front of him......

However, the terrifying scene he imagined did not happen, and the group followed Li Zeyan to the door of another dilapidated house.

At the same time, in the backyard where several people had just left, a large amount of thick and blackened blood suddenly oozed from the coffin that had been opened.

The blood in the coffin seemed to be boiling, and boiling blood bubbles bubbled. It didn't take long for a black hair to emerge from beneath the blood......

Thanks for the tip! Love you~
