Chapter 15 Agreements
"Black ...... Heiwa, what now? There was a hint of panic in the big tall man's eyes, but he still stood still.
Heiwa's eyes were solemn, looking at the red coffin board that had been exposed under her feet. Obviously, I didn't expect that if I dug a grave well, how could I dig up a coffin!
This is the ancestral tomb of the Chen family, and the people buried in the cemetery are all famous and mastered. And with this coffin at his feet, no one knows which ancestor of the Chen family is buried.
"Heiwa, you're making a noise." The sturdy young man didn't have much fear on his face, thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let's go back first and invite Ma Lao to come and see." ”
Heiwa nodded, and several people immediately crawled out of the grave. Naturally, I didn't have much to say, and although I was a little surprised that a coffin was suddenly dug up, I chose to keep my mouth shut.
It's just that I didn't feel anything when I was in the grave just now, but as soon as I climbed up, I suddenly felt a warm feeling all over my body!
I was stunned, was it so cold just now?
I shook my head, lit a cigarette and didn't think much of it. At this time, let's go back to Chenjiagou first and ask what is going on with this coffin.
This is the ancestral tomb of the Chen family, and the Chen family must know who the owner of this coffin is. You can't bury people from other villages in their ancestral graves, right?
Under the fiery sun, we rushed all the way back to Chenjiagou. But after we told the matter again, no one knew which ancestor of the Chen family was the coffin that appeared in the ancestral grave of the Chen family!
As for Ma Lao, his expression changed suddenly, and he didn't allow everyone to discuss it at all, so he took the lead and rushed straight to the ancestral tomb of the Chen family.
At this time, Xiaoyu's father, several brothers from his own family, as well as several respected old people in the village, instantly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly followed Ma Lao to the ancestral grave.
When I returned to the ancestral grave of the Chen family and looked at the grave where the inexplicable coffin was dug, I suddenly gasped.
I saw that in the grave we dug, a group of snakes were crawling slowly!
That's right, a bunch of snakes. And not in a small group, but in a large group, the whole grave is full of them, and they are too many to count!
Almost all the people who saw this scene took a deep breath and held back their shock. Some of the young people who came to join in the fun were even so frightened that they took a few steps back!
And Ma Lao looked at this group of snakes with an extremely embarrassed face. For a moment, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
I can't figure it out, how can there be so many snakes in this good way?
Could it be that when we were digging, we accidentally smashed the snake's nest? But this can't be done, if you smash the snake's nest, wouldn't these snakes have crawled out long ago? Will you wait until now?
At this moment, Ma Lao suddenly looked at Xiaoyu's father who was standing aside and said, "Sanshui, who have you offended?" ”
Ma Lao frowned, and his tone was slightly impatient, as if he was warning him, hurry up and explain honestly!
When Xiaoyu's father heard this, he was instantly anxious, and said with a sad face: "Ma Lao, how dare I lie to you, I really didn't offend anyone!" ”
"Didn't offend anyone? If you don't offend anyone, people will give your family a pair of scissors for no reason? When Ma Lao said this, his face was almost crooked.
Seeing that Ma Lao was really angry, Xiaoyu's father didn't know how to continue to reply for a while, so he could only be anxious, and then looked at Ma Lao with blank eyes!
The older uncle in Xiaoyu's family was a little overwhelmed, and couldn't help but say: "Old Ma, we all know Sanshui's personality, and we usually say a few words, if you want to offend someone, it's really nothing." ”
Ma Lao seemed to be only angry for a while, and after reprimanding his father, his anger dissipated a lot. sighed and said, "Think about it again, whose family buried this coffin here." ”
"This is the ancestral tomb of your Chen family, don't say that the ancestral tomb is buried in a coffin, you don't know!"
As soon as I heard this, everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were stunned in place.
Seeing everyone's appearance, Ma Lao couldn't help but shake his head and continued, "Have you Chen Jiagou had any dead people in recent years, the color of this coffin board is still there, and depending on the degree of decay, it will be buried within a few years at most!" ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately talked about it word by word, especially a few elderly people, who thought about it for a long time and said loudly: "Brother Ma, when you say this, there are really a lot of people who have died in our village in the past few years. But the place where they are buried is not here! ”
As he spoke, the white-haired old man also pointed to the graveyard, pointing to the grave bags, and inscribed their names one by one, without any mistakes.
At this time, even Ma Lao was puzzled. Since it is not the coffin of the Chen family, where did this coffin come from?
Suddenly, Xiaoyu's father seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said, "Ma Lao, I remember that my father told me before, saying that our family seems to have had an agreement with one person!" ”
"The promise of the Land of One Scene?" As soon as he heard this, Ma Lao's brows suddenly furrowed, "Let's talk about it!" ”
Xiaoyu's father pondered for a moment and continued: "I can't remember exactly what it is, but I remember it roughly. ”
"At that time, my father said that this was the agreement that my grandfather made with others when he was young. At that time, a man came to my grandfather and asked me to borrow a cemetery, and my grandfather thought that he would not borrow a cemetery, so he said, 'You have a crush on my family's land, even if it is buried?' ’”
"I didn't think that the person said that it was the ancestral tomb of the Chen family, and my grandfather was immediately embarrassed when he heard it. You also know that it is unreasonable to bury an outsider in the grave of your ancestor. ”
Xiaoyu's father glanced at Ma Lao as he spoke, and Ma Lao nodded. Before Xiaoyu's father could continue, his expression suddenly changed and said, "Does your grandfather disagree?" Then the man said, "I'll borrow it for a few decades, and I'll pay you back when the time comes." And he also gave a reward for these decades, that is, on the day of returning the cemetery, he will show your family a good yin hole to ensure the glory of the third generation of the Chen family! ”
After Ma Lao finished speaking, he looked at Xiaoyu's father coldly. Xiaoyu's father was shocked, "Ma...... Ma Lao, how do you know? ”
Ma Lao ignored him, but continued in a cold tone: "You said, the person who showed Brother Chen Feng Shui was you met by chance. I think it's the descendant of the man who made the agreement with your grandfather in the first place! ”
After hearing this, Xiaoyu's father couldn't help but shudder, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly said, "Ma...... Ma Lao, I ...... I didn't mean to lie to you! ”
"I ...... I, my dad said I couldn't tell anyone about it. ”
Looking at the trembling Xiaoyu father, Ma Lao snorted coldly, "Then what do you tell me now?" ”
"I ...... I ......"
"Okay, you can do this matter yourself, I can't take care of it!" Ma Lao threw away such a sentence with a cold expression, and then brushed his hands and left!
Xiaoyu's father was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly chased after him, and even those uncles of the family also changed their expressions greatly, and hurriedly caught up to say good things for Xiaoyu's father.
After hearing this, I was stunned on the spot. I really didn't expect that there was such a thing in this.
Grandpa Xiaoyu's time is really old enough. I don't know why the person who traded with Grandpa Xiaoyu had to borrow the cemetery of the Chen family's ancestral grave.
Isn't there anyone buried anywhere else besides here?
Just as I was thinking about this, Ma Lao seemed to be angered by Xiaoyu's father, and suddenly shouted, "Didn't you all hear his words? How many years have passed since the old man, nearly a hundred years, a hundred years, understand? ”
As he spoke, Ma Lao turned around and walked back, pointed to the grave we had dug, and said with anger: "See? Coffin! It's been a hundred years, and the coffin hasn't rotted yet! What do you tell me to do? ”
Such a big sun, Ma Lao's words, actually made my back feel a little chilly!
Nearly a hundred years ago, the coffin buried in the ground did not rot? What is this concept? The coffin is not rotten, isn't the person lying inside......
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and didn't dare to think further. Only then did he realize that Ma Lao didn't want to take care of it, but that this matter might be completely beyond his ability!
For a moment, everyone froze. What I can understand, they can understand.
Seeing that everyone was staying where they were, Ma Lao couldn't help but sigh without saying a word, "Dig up the coffin!" ”
