Chapter 10: The Corpse Has Been Tricked
Although the lid of the bronze coffin was removed by everyone, the atmosphere on the field at this time was even more dull than before.
This huge bronze coffin was at least two meters deep, and it was impossible to stand on top of the coffin and take out the bronze box under the corpse's skull, and the only way was for one person to go down.
But who will go down?
The six of us stood on the coffin, you look at me, I look at you, but none of us dared to volunteer to go into the coffin to take the bronze box.
Of course, it's no wonder that we are timid, after all, there is a female corpse lying in the coffin that has not been decomposed for many years, and no one can help but feel furious and timid.
Whether it is out of fear of the dead or fear of the dead, it is understandable.
"Well, I'll go down and take the box out, and you'll remember to pull me up on it later." Seeing that no one was reacting, I had to volunteer and say it hard.
At the same time, I mentally calculated the time at this time, it should be almost half past four.
Due to the long days and broken nights in summer, if I hesitate any longer, I am afraid that it will be dawn. In case the villagers of Yaojia Village find out that we are staying in the ancestral hall, I am afraid that we will not be able to explain it even if we have ten mouths.
"Be careful, if something is wrong, call us and we'll pull you up right away."
Li Huiyan looked away from the grimace pattern on the lid of the coffin and said to me.
The others also nodded, and said a word of advice, patting their chests to promise that they would ensure my safety.
I nodded, and with their help, I made my way to the bronze coffin.
Because this bronze coffin is huge, the space inside the coffin also appears to be very spacious, and it does not make people feel cramped and crowded.
Entering the coffin and seeing the female corpse close at hand, I became a little nervous, probably because I watched too many zombie movies when I was a child.
I held the flashlight that Mr. Feng threw at me earlier, and when I went down to the coffin, I didn't immediately reach for the bronze box, but turned around and shone the flashlight inside the coffin.
Soon, I saw that something was wrong, and for a while, the hairs on my body stood on end, and I didn't even dare to breathe too hard.
"Zhang Sansan, what's wrong?"
Several people standing on the coffin saw that I had gone down to the coffin and did not move for a long time, so they couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing." I shook my head, trying to suppress the uneasiness in my heart.
However, my eyes still fell on the sides of the bronze coffin, where there were no less than dozens of messy scratches that seemed to have been made with sharp objects, or more appropriately, scratches that had been made by someone with a fingernail.
I was a little shocked in my heart, the bronze coffin was so hard, and I couldn't imagine how sharp it must be to make so many such messy scratches on it with my fingernails alone.
It can't be her, right? My eyes fell on the female corpse in the coffin, and a terrible thought arose in my heart.
If the scratches on the bronze coffin were made by this female corpse, wouldn't that mean that the female corpse was still alive? But how can a dead man still be alive?
I shook my head and dismissed all the thoughts in my head. At the same time, he comforted himself in his heart that this was just a corpse, even if she could not decay for a thousand years, it was impossible for her to really come back to life.
I turned around again, and my eyes fell once more on the bronze box that rested under the woman's head.
If Teacher Feng is willing to stay in this poor country for four or five years, this bronze box must contain something unimaginably good.
At this point, I didn't hesitate at all, and bent down and stretched out my hand, ready to take the box out from under the female corpse's head.
However, after I grabbed the bronze box and pulled it a few times, I found that the whole box was not moving.
Seeing this, I was a little dumbfounded in my heart, and secretly said that this box should not be directly fixed in the coffin, if this is the case, even if there are ten cows, it is impossible to take this box out of the coffin.
I took a flashlight and looked at it, and found that there was a very narrow gap at the bottom of the bronze box where it was connected to the coffin. Although the gap was only a millimeter or two wide, I was already convinced that the bronze box was not fixed to the bottom of the coffin.
Since the bronze box wasn't fixed to the bottom of the coffin, why couldn't I get it out of the woman's head?
I looked at the female corpse with some surprise, could it be that she was doing something wrong?
Putting all my thoughts behind me, I reached out again in the direction of the bronze box, but this time the target was not the bronze box, but the head of the female corpse.
Although I knew that it would be disrespectful to the deceased, I had no choice but to do it in order to get the box out as soon as possible.
After taking a deep breath, I placed my hands on either side of the female corpse's head, one left and one right.
With a little effort, the female corpse did not move, and then I increased the strength of my hand again, and the female corpse only moved slightly.
"How...... How can it be heavy? I muttered to myself, but the movements of my hands did not pause at all, but this time I used even the strength I used to breastfeed as a child.
Finally, I lifted the female corpse's head more than two inches high, and I freed my left hand to quickly grasp the bronze box under the female corpse's skull.
Thankfully, there were no more incidents, and the bronze box was easily in my hands.
"Catch!" I said to the people above me as I tossed the bronze box in my hand.
After throwing out the bronze box, I was a little secretly frightened, how could this female corpse be so heavy, where is this corpse, it is clearly a lump of iron.
As soon as my right hand was released, the head of the female corpse fell heavily.
However, I didn't notice that my right hand was actually entwined by the messy hair of the female corpse at this time, and the moment the female corpse's head fell, my whole body was also unstable, and my feet slipped forward and pounced.
Clang! The head of the female corpse collided with the bottom of the coffin, and there was a muffled sound as if gold and iron intersected.
My situation was not much better, because of the sudden fall, and my forehead also hit the head of the female corpse. At the moment when my forehead hit the head of the female corpse, I only felt that the world was spinning, my head was dazed, and the Venus in front of me was scurrying, and I had the illusion of hitting the iron plate, as if my whole head was about to be broken.
At this time, my head was still very close to the head of the female corpse, and the distance between the two was only a dozen centimeters. A foul smell of corpses crept into my nose and made me want to gause
It's really unlucky, I couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, what the hell is this, how can my head be harder than an iron plate.
Although this process is long, in fact, from the time I lifted the head of the female corpse and took out the bronze box, to the time I accidentally fell my head and collided with the female corpse, it only took half a minute before and after.
"Zhang Sansan, what's wrong with you?"
"Zhang Sansan, are you okay?"
Seeing that I suddenly fell, everyone quickly cared.
"It's fine." I shook my aching head and propped my hands on the bottom of the coffin, ready to stand up.
But the next moment, I was like falling into an ice cave, my whole body was cold, and my whole body froze in place and didn't dare to move.
The female corpse, whose eyes were originally closed, suddenly opened her eyes, and at this time, because she fell in the coffin, I and the female corpse were only a dozen centimeters together. As soon as she opened her eyes, her eyes met mine.
Even though the female corpse could not see the pupils in her eyes, only a cloudy white, it still made me feel chills all over my body, as if she could see me.
"Hurry up, pull me up!"
Seeing the female corpse suddenly open her eyes, I didn't have time to think about it at all, and shouted loudly to the five people standing on the coffin.
The next moment, with both hands, I almost jumped up from the bottom of the coffin.
The others obviously noticed my shocked appearance as well, and after hearing my voice, Xu Hao and Qin Dong immediately stretched out their hands and pulled me out of the coffin.
As soon as I was pulled out of the coffin, there was a shrill cry from inside, accompanied by the screeching of fingernails scratching inside the coffin.
"What sound?" The sudden sound from the coffin attracted everyone's attention, and Li Huiyan asked.
"Don't look back, don't ask anything, get out of here right away."
I didn't have time to explain anything to everyone, and when they saw that everyone still wanted to look into the coffin, I hurriedly said.
As soon as I thought of the female corpse in the coffin that suddenly opened her eyes, I felt a chill in my heart, and if I didn't get out of here quickly, I didn't know what would happen next.
"Huh? Where did that guy go? Xu Hao said.
Just as we descended from the coffin to the ground and were about to leave the ancestral hall, we found that Mr. Feng, who had been knocked unconscious on the ground, was missing.
"Leave him alone and get out of here." It's important to run for your life now, where can you take care of the others, I urged everyone again.
However, it was too late.
As soon as I finished speaking, the door of the ancestral hall suddenly became windless, as if it was pushed by a pair of invisible hands, and it slammed shut.
Seeing this, I hurriedly ran over, but after pulling hard, the gate of the ancestral hall did not move at all.
"Hurry up and help, and find a way to open the door of the ancestral hall." I quickly turned to the crowd and said.
Hearing this, everyone ran over and pulled the door of the ancestral hall with me. However, no matter how hard we tried, the door of the ancestral hall remained motionless, and there was no way to open it for half a minute.
"Zhang Sansan, what's wrong with you, your face suddenly became so scary. Isn't there a female corpse in the coffin, you are a big man, you don't need to be scared like this, right? Xu Hao said with a disapproving expression on his face.
"yes, you've got to tell us what's going on!" Xiao Yue also interjected on the side.
I pulled the door of the ancestral hall twice harder, but I still didn't move.
"The female corpse in the coffin has come back to life." Seeing that there was no way to escape at this time, I had to let go of the hand holding the door of the ancestral hall and said to everyone.
"What? The corpse came back to life? ”
"How is that possible, isn't that a corpse?"
"Zhang Sansan, what's going on? How could the corpse come back to life, is it possible that it was because he was too nervous just now, so he was dazzled? ”
Xiao Yue, Xu Hao, and Li Huiyan asked one after another.
Although Qin Dong and Lu Cheng didn't say anything, it could be seen from their expressions that they were also skeptical of what I said.
This can't blame Li Huiyan and the others for making a fuss, after all, such an unbelievable thing as the resurrection of a female corpse, no matter who you say to it, you may be a psychopath.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed it.
In desperation, I had to roughly describe what happened in the coffin before.
After listening to what I said, all five of them stood on the spot, and the atmosphere in the arena suddenly became extremely quiet. Obviously, everyone couldn't accept it for a while, after all, it was too unbelievable.
Creak...... At this moment, there was another sound in the bronze coffin.
The six of us turned our heads to look, and a withered palm with a fingernail at least two inches long suddenly stretched out, clutching at the edge of the bronze coffin.
