Chapter 14: The Coffin
I believe that the human eye will never lie. But after I observed for a long time, I didn't see anything unusual in Heiwa's eyes.
I saw him sigh and say, "That's right, that's the tomb of Xiao Ling." At the beginning, no one could have imagined that Xiao Ling would just go to high school in the city, and he would ......"
He didn't say anything more here, and the meaning was already obvious. But when I heard this, I was stunned on the spot!
What I originally thought was that through Heiwa and a few young people around me, I asked about Xiaoling by knocking on the side, so as to determine that Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu's family were all lying to me!
Can ...... now
I felt like my thoughts were messing up again, and there was even a hint of panic in my heart!
Xiaoyu didn't lie to me, and Xiaoyu's family didn't lie to me. Xiao Ling died a long time ago, as early as her freshman year of high school. But what about me? Who is the little spirit I met? Who is the little spirit that has been with me for two whole years?
Could it be a ghost?
I shook my head and took a deep breath, trying to calm my mind, but no matter how much I inhaled, I couldn't calm down!
"Lin Hao, what's wrong with you?"
Heiwa's voice sounded, I woke up, shook my head and said, "It's okay! ”
"Oh." Heiwa answered, snuffed out the cigarette butt, and got up to work.
I was completely distracted, and I didn't even have the heart to dig a grave, so I just sat where I was, smoking cigarette after cigarette.
I suddenly had a thought, will Xiaoling's death have something to do with the entire Chen Jiagou?
And then, they collectively weave a lie in order to cope with the inquiries of others?
Thinking of this possibility, I snuffed out the cigarette butt and smiled bitterly. I don't want to accept the reality, otherwise how could such a ridiculous idea come up?
Just as my mind was cluttering, suddenly, the whole graveyard was in turmoil!
I was startled and quickly got up. I saw that the sky instantly turned black, and when I looked up, the black clouds pressed straight overhead!
"It's already late autumn, why is there a sudden rainstorm?" I was stunned and hurriedly ran towards Heiwa.
I saw that Heiwa and the young men had all climbed up from the pit, and their faces were ugly.
"Damn! Is this special God deliberately looking for trouble? A sturdy young man stared at his eyes and scolded loudly, obviously angered by the sudden bad weather!
"Heiwazi, what should I do now? This rain, let's dig a fart! One of them looked at Heiwa and said.
Heiwa frowned tightly, and she didn't pay attention for a while. But God won't wait for anyone, and in the blink of an eye, the raindrops the size of beans have already fallen!
"Pack up the guys and find a place to shelter from the rain first. When the rain stops, let's keep digging! Heiwa said loudly.
All of a sudden, we were all looking for a place to shelter from the rain. It's just that by the time I found a col, I was already soaking wet!
"Oh my God!"
The sturdy young man scolded again, and the rest of the people also said indignantly.
After all, after such a delay, the grave pit that could have been dug a long time ago does not know when it will be completed. And with such a heavy rain, even if the weather is clear, it is not good to continue digging again.
Heiwa scattered a cigarette for everyone, and the atmosphere eased somewhat. It's all down, and they can't do anything to God. I just hope that the rain will stop sooner, and I will finish my work sooner.
But God seems to be deliberately against us, and the sky that was originally overpowered by dark clouds has become even darker at this time!
Even the rain, which was already very urgent, became more urgent, and there was no end to just listening to the "whoosh".
Heiwa's brows furrowed tightly, but at this time, there was nothing he could do!
For a while, the short-tempered people all scolded, scolding God for being nervous.
Suddenly, the furrowed black baby stepped out as if she had made up her mind.
Everyone was stunned, not understanding what he was doing, and his whole body was soaked in the rain.
"Heiwa, what are you doing, come back quickly!" A young man said urgently. Heiwa ignored it completely, only to see him raise his hands above his head and assume a strange pose.
Then he stomped on the ground with his right foot, and his hands raised above his head also danced rapidly, and at the same time, he still had words in his mouth!
For a moment, everyone was stunned, not understanding what he was trying to do? I was also stunned in place, looking at the black baby in the heavy rain, and "waving!" ”
Just as all of us were looking at Heiwa, suddenly, the black sky seemed to have been provoked by some kind of provocation, and a thunderclap suddenly sounded.
"Boom!" This thunder made my eardrums buzz!
At the moment when the thunder sounded, I saw Heiwa spurt out a mouthful of blood, and then the whole person was stunned!
For a while, everyone was shocked! It's no wonder when the rainstorm will stop, the tall and strong man directly picks up the black baby and rushes down the mountain!
I was also stunned on the spot, I didn't understand what was happening at this moment, and I certainly didn't have time to think about it!
Facing the heavy rain, we took turns to carry the black baby along the way, and when Chenjiagou was clear, there was a red sunset on the horizon!
After recounting the whole story to Ma Lao, he sighed and said, "This kid is really dead!" ”
Standing next to me, I looked puzzled, I didn't understand what he meant, and the same went for everyone else.
Ma Lao explained with a smile: "Heiwa followed an old Tao when she was a child, you all know this. ”
Everyone nodded, but there were still doubts in their eyes, and they didn't understand what this had to do with Heiwa's lifeless actions.
Ma Lao continued: "That old man is undoubtedly a person with real skills, but Heiwa is a little stupid. After learning a little fur, I thought about turning over the clouds and rain. ”
"What's that?" Ma Lao said and pointed to the top of his head, "It's the sky." If it's going to rain, do you dare to care? ”
"Not to mention Heiwa's Taoism that can't even enter the door, even those masters who have been famous for a long time, no one dares to say that they disobey the mandate of heaven!"
After Ma Lao said this, I suddenly understood that Heiwa, this kid, wanted to stop the rain.
I do admire his courage, but I have to say that he is really stupid. There is a saying, "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs!" ”
Although the true meaning of this sentence is not as simple as the literal meaning, it can be seen from this alone how terrible it is for heaven and earth to be angry!
Ma Lao said and shook his head again, "Fortunately, he doesn't have any Taoism, and he can't even get started, otherwise this time he will have to take his life directly!" ”
"Master Ma, what's the name of those things that Heiwa made? How does it feel like a god's stick? Da Gao asked suddenly.
Ma Lao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I don't know if the magic stick is not a magic stick, but I know that it is called magic, and it belongs to the Taoist magic lineage!" ”
"Oh, I know. Is it just a spell used by those who specialize in catching ghosts? When Da Gao heard this, he immediately became emotional.
"Sort of!" Ma Lao smiled bitterly and nodded.
…………
As soon as the heavy rain delayed the digging of the grave, it naturally fell. As a result, Grandpa Xiaoyu will not be buried at all tomorrow.
In the end, Ma Lao could only decide to be buried tomorrow. But when deciding on this time, Ma Lao's brows furrowed tightly, as if he was very worried about something, and I even faintly heard him whispering, hoping that nothing would happen!
Early the next morning, Heiwa and I came to the ancestral tomb of the Chen family again.
Today, like yesterday, is a sunny day. A few people couldn't help but scold, saying that they hoped that God would not make any more nerves!
It's just that God didn't commit a nerve, but the grave we dug did—"Nerves!" ”
The rain is not easy to dig, but after digging 20 centimeters, it is easier to dig a lot.
One meter, two meters. As we got closer to two meters, we stopped, because we had enough depth, and we were ready to call it a day!
But just as we were shoveling the excess soil in the grave, the shovel suddenly "clanged", as if it had hit something!
At first we thought it was stone, but then we shoveled it down and found a piece of wood that was almost rotting!
Now we were stunned, how could there be wood in the ground of these two meters?
Everyone looked at each other and decided to take two more looks. But with this shovel, all of us suddenly gasped.
And under our feet, ...... It turned out to be a coffin!
In an instant, everyone panicked! Two of the cowardly, even screaming in fright, climbed straight up!
