Chapter 20: The Female Ghost
Once upon a time, there was a family that had been in the coffin business for generations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAlthough the price of their coffin is very high, the expensive thing is that the quality is good, so the business is still very good. After all, the dead are the greatest, and no one would be reluctant to buy a better coffin for their loved ones, even if the price is more expensive.
One night, a very strange guest came to the coffin clothes shop. It was a woman about twenty years old dressed in red. In the past, people had a lot of inexplicable feelings about red. Red is often used for festive occasions, such as marriage. However, it is also said that people who die in red clothes with resentment will turn into ghosts. Red is a color that makes people happy and taboo.
But in either case, people don't usually wear red clothes, let alone women.
The shopkeeper was surprised that it was usually the men who came to the coffin shop to buy coffins or make coffins to order. In the traditional concept, women should not be exposed to these things, even if the family is thin with men, they will ask relatives and friends, and few women will come, let alone such young women.
But strange is strange, business can't be left undone. So the shopkeeper still received the woman politely, I don't know if it was because the clothes she was wearing were too brightly colored, and the shopkeeper always felt that the woman's face was frighteningly pale, like the dead man he had seen before who was about to be buried. It could be seen that the woman was a taciturn person, and when asked what the coffin would look like, the shopkeeper asked a question, and she replied, and said nothing more.
Slowly, the owner's heart began to feel uneasy. When asked about the exact size of the coffin, the woman said, "Just make it according to my size." The owner then measured her height and size, which is why the coffin shop is doing well. When ordering the coffin, the owner will try to understand the user's body shape in detail, so as to facilitate the design of the specific details of the coffin, so that the coffin is as suitable for the user as possible, it will definitely not be small, but it will not be too big, so there are more processes to do.
The woman paid the deposit and left. And the shopkeeper puts the money in a cabinet, and he will separate the deposit and the total amount of each customer in one place so that it is easy to distinguish. The next day, the shopkeeper began to prepare the coffin that the woman wanted. The woman's strange appearance was quickly left behind by him, thinking that he was too worried.
The coffin was quickly ready, but seeing that the days were passing and the woman was delayed, the shopkeeper went to the address left by the woman to inquire in person. But surprisingly, the shopkeeper not only did not find the woman, but was also scolded by the woman's family. According to the woman's family, the woman had already been buried half a month ago, how could she go to the coffin shop to order a coffin. The shopkeeper was horrified, so he told them what had happened that night, and gave them a detailed description of what the woman looked like. The woman's family was also shocked when they heard the shopkeeper's description, because according to the shopkeeper's description, it was clearly what the woman was wearing before she died! Frightened, the woman's family kicked the shopkeeper out of the house without saying a word.
The suspicious shopkeeper hurriedly returned to the coffin shop to take out the deposit given by the woman, and when he opened the cabinet, the shopkeeper, who had seen the scene inside, couldn't help but feel cold, like entering an ice cellar. There is no deposit there, it is clearly a pile of paper!
The owner called all the family members to discuss the matter, and then decided to burn the coffin. The mood of everyone's anxiety began to relax as the coffin was gradually devoured by the firewood set up underneath. Listening to the clicking sound of the firewood bursting, everyone felt that the big stone in their hearts seemed to be able to fall to the ground.
"Click...... Click......"
The faces of everyone present suddenly turned pale, where is the sound of wood burning, it is clearly the sound of someone rubbing the coffin with their fingernails in the coffin! There could be no one in the coffin, they had already confirmed it! It's not people, it's going to be ......
"Ah......h
As if to confirm the thoughts in everyone's hearts, a scream so sharp that it seemed to puncture the eardrum suddenly came out of the coffin.
The terrible cry seemed to come from the gloomy Nine Hells, and listening to it couldn't help but make people feel chills all over their ears. As the flames burned, the sound coming from the coffin faded until it fell silent, as if it had never been there. Everyone froze in place, drenched in cold sweat.
"It's over...... Right? ā
Everyone was muttering in their hearts, and they didn't know if it was for self-comfort or simply expressing their wishes.
However, the world is not good enough to make people's wishes come true. The nightmare has just begun, and it has continued to this day.
Gu Yu ran forward desperately, kept running, kept running, how long had he been running? Gu Yu didn't know, she only knew that she had to run forward. All that came into view was a fiery red, and on both sides of the road were mountains of coffins, which were burning violently.
Familiar scenes, Gu Yu no longer remembered how many times this road appeared in front of her, but no matter how many times she saw it, no matter how familiar the scene in front of her was, she couldn't make her feel a little relieved. Even if there are burning coffins on both sides, even if she has been running for so long, she can't add even a touch of warmth to her body.
Gu Yu knew where the chill that enveloped her came from, and she also knew that the woman in red who appeared behind her when she had this inexplicable dream for the first time must be following her, following her like a shadow. Gu Yu knew that this was a dream, but he also knew that it was not just a dream, once he was caught up by that woman, he would die. So she could only run, run as hard as she could, even if she couldn't escape in the end, even if it was just a dying struggle, she had to run.
Suddenly, Gu Yu stepped into the air, and his body suddenly lost its balance and fell heavily to the ground. At that moment, Gu Yu only felt that his body was unprecedentedly cold, as if his spirit was frozen. Gu Yu gritted his teeth and turned around with all his might.
A face that had been burned beyond recognition was close at hand, and two eyes with white pupils were staring at Gu Yu deadly.
"Ah......h
Gu Yu couldn't help but let out a scream and woke up from his dream. Coming back to his senses and looking at the familiar furnishings in his room, Gu Yu felt a little relieved, and then he was afraid. In the alone room, Gu Yu hugged his arms helplessly and sobbed softly.
Obviously I'm just an ordinary girl, and I've never done anything bad, why, why did I encounter this kind of thing.
"Whoever is good, who will ...... Whoever will help me, who can help me......"
Gu Yu tightened the quilt and tried to get a little warmth, even if it was only a little.
The next morning, at the dinner table.
"Xiaoyu, did you have that nightmare again?"
The mother, who noticed the dark circles on Gu Yu's face, asked worriedly.
"Hmmm......"
Gu Yu nodded hesitantly, and it could be seen that she didn't want her mother to worry too much.
"Isn't it okay with the master this time? What to do, time is running out, you have to ask others to see if you know any masters. ā
When Gu Yu's mother said this, she hurriedly got up and prepared to go out.
"Mom......"
Gu Yu wanted to speak and stopped, she wanted her parents not to look for any more masters more than once, these people are all liars, and they don't know anything except asking for money. Why don't Gu Yu's parents understand? But they are such a daughter, as long as there is a little hope, how can they give up, as long as they can save their daughter, even if they have to sell their hearts and lungs, they will not have the slightest hesitation, let alone money?
Gu Yu's mother naturally knew what Gu Yu wanted to say, and after comforting Gu Yu, she still hurried out.
As a member of modern society, Gu Yu once felt that this constantly repeated dream was only caused by psychological pressure. She also went to the hospital for an examination, and the doctor's explanation was similar, saying that she was nervous or stressed, and Gu Yu always thought that this was the case, until the day she saw her cousin's corpse.
The cousin, who was only nineteen years old, died in her bedroom. All the skin on his body was burned to carbon, his mouth was wide open, his gums were loose from the heat, and only a few dry teeth hung on it. Her eyes rolled and her eyes opened forcefully, as if she were looking at something that terrified her.
The fact that no starting point of the fire was found in her proves that the fire was not ignited from the outside. The strange thing is that the cousin is obviously lying on the bed, but everything on the bed has no signs of being burned. And the autopsy results showed that the carbonization of the internal organs of the deceased was more serious than that of the skin, that is, the whole person was burned from the inside out.
From that day on, Gu Yu believed that there were really things in the world that modern science could not explain, believed that the curse of the Gu family was true, and believed that the nightmares he had been having since childhood were not because of some excessive pressure. Why did the Gu family, who used to be quite famous in the coffin industry, suddenly change careers, and why did the girl of the Gu family never live past the age of nineteen. Because since that day, the Gu family has been cursed by the female ghost in red clothes.
