Chapter 862: Opening the Coffin
I thought that after saying this, I would have to scare the old man enough. Who knew that the old man shook his head and said, "I went to see it when I was buried with a poor stomach." Could that be wrong? Indeed, he died. ”
Then he looked at me earnestly and said, "Young man, you have little experience in society. Someone else wants to lie to you. There are a thousand ways to do it, and you can't even think of it. ”
I feel a little funny, this old man has never been out of the village much in his life, and he actually said that I have little experience in society.
I crossed my arms and asked, "Old man." Then tell me, how do others want to deceive me? ”
The old man said, "Like this time." You've fallen for a big deal. You've just known about poor stomachs, haven't you? ”
I nodded and said, "yes, I've only known each other for three or five days." ”
The old man clapped his hands: "Isn't that right?" You've never seen a poor stomach, how do you know he's real? Maybe the woman found a young and handsome offspring to deceive you. ”
I scratched my head and thought to myself, "Isn't a person like Wang Fatzi a young and handsome offspring?" ”
As I was thinking of this, the old man said, "Since this woman is ruthless, don't blame us for being unjust." Young people, you must tell this woman what she has done. When she arrives in the underworld, let her be taught a good lesson. ”
I've been a little messed up by the old man. I thought for a moment before I said, "Do you have any pictures of poor stomachs?" Let's see. "Mixed with blood.
The old man nodded, then walked over to a large table next to him. I saw a stack of books on the table, which seemed to be the genealogy of the Wang family.
The old man flipped through it for a while. He took out a copy of it and said, "Here's the picture." ”
I saw that the book was almost a photo album with names and birthdays underneath.
The old man introduced: "Now the technology is developed. In the past, the family tree was at most written with a name. Now you can take a photo and post it here. Let the descendants of future generations see what their ancestors look like. ”
He pointed to the person in the photo. said: "This is the stomach poor, take a closer look, is this the person you have seen?" ”
The person in the photo is very young and has not yet developed his figure. But the eyebrows and eyes are very clear, who is not Wang Fatzi?
However, instead of answering him directly, I asked, "Is the king poor buried in your ancestral grave?" ”
The old man said with some pride: "You found out that you have been deceived, right?" Then he pointed to the outside of the ancestral hall and said, "From here to the south, after leaving the village, is our ancestral tomb." The stomach is poor and our people, of course, they have to be buried in the ancestral grave. ”
Then, he asked strangely, "How?" Are you going to go to the grave and worship him? ”
I nodded and said, "Why did you come here too?" I'm going to go to the grave and burn two pieces of paper. ”
The old man nodded and said, "It's better for you to go and have a look." This woman is no longer loyal to our royal family, so there is no need to mention the matter of the joint burial, and you two friends who tell the woman do not need to bring her bones back. Hey, now that you are here, tell her of her sins as they are, and then go to the ancestral grave. ”
Speaking of this, the old man sighed: "I'm already old. Unlike you young people, who don't sleep for days and nights, I'm a little overwhelmed now. ”
Xue Qian and I smiled and said, "Old man, you go back and rest first." The rest, we know how to do it. ”
The old man gave two more instructions and left.
Xue Qian whispered: "This old man is really relieved." Aren't you afraid that the two of us will wreak havoc here? ”
I pointed to a bed in the corner and said, "Don't you see?" There's a lot of sleep here. I'm sure if you knock over a candle, a bunch of people will rush in and grab you. ”
The two of us had no intention of telling the life of Wang Fatzi's wife at all. The most important thing now is to figure out the life and death of Wang Fatzi.
The two of us quietly walked out of the ancestral hall. Then he took advantage of the darkness to hide in a corner.
Xue Qian said: "Lao Zhao, you said that the king we saw two days ago is poor, is it a living person or a dead person?" If you want to say that he is alive, the old man keeps saying that he is dead. He was a dead man, but he walked around in broad daylight and gave birth to a child......"
I pointed to a nearby house. said: "This family turned off the lights early. Either they're asleep or there's no one in the house. We went in and stole two shovels and came out. ”
I cooperated with Xue Qian, I don't know how many bad things I did, as soon as I said this, he immediately understood, and said with great interest: "Let's go dig a grave?" ”
I nodded and said, "Dig up the grave and see, there is no fat man in it, it is clear at a glance." If his body was lying in the coffin, then the one in Huaicheng would naturally be fake. ”
Xue Qian nodded, and then the two of us quietly climbed over the wall.
The walls in the village were not very high, and the two of us quietly jumped into it without much effort. When we got our hands on the shovel, we simply pulled the door open from the inside and slipped out.
We followed the direction pointed out by the old man, and cautiously arrived at the ancestral tomb along the way.
One of us held a candle and bent down to carefully identify the words on the ancestral tomb, trying to find the name of "Wang Wei Poor".
The tombstone has not only the name on it, but also the life of the owner of the tomb. I felt like I wasn't looking for someone, but reading the life of a dead man.
Under the moonlight, I saw that Xue Qian was looking energetic, and even nodded her head and commented: "This person's epitaph is good." The writing is brilliant. ”
I said, "Old Xue, don't you feel terrible when you read the epitaph with a candle in the middle of the night?" ”
Xue Qian said: "It's a little crazy, but there's no way, the two of us are just dealing with the little ghost." ”
I stretched my waist and saw one after the other, I don't know how many. I said, "Old Xue, just skip it when you look at the name." Why read their epitaphs? If you read it, forget it, and you have to comment on two sentences, aren't you afraid that they will be angry? ”
Xue Qian smiled: "Lao Zhao, you are wrong about this. They don't get angry. You think, the epitaphs record their exploits during their lifetimes. Isn't it just that you want others to read these achievements when they are engraved on the tombstones? I have fulfilled their wishes, and it is too late for them to be happy. ”
I sighed, and he had to go.
After a while, Xue Qian said, "Lao Zhao, I found a pattern. These graves, from one end to the other, are arranged in chronological order. Since Wang Fatzi died a year ago, he should be over there. ”
I followed Xue Qian and walked forward two steps quickly, and sure enough, I found Wang Fatzi's grave over there.
Xue Qian circled around the grave and said, "Let's start digging?" ”
I nodded: "Dig." ”
Subsequently, the candles were blown out and the shovels were fired.
If you leave the candle on, it can give us light, and of course it is convenient to dig. But that would not be enough to conceal it, and if the people in the village found out that we were digging people's graves with open fire, then the two of us would probably have to be beaten to death here.
Half an hour later, the grave had turned into a big pit. We dug up the coffin.
The two of us jumped into the grave, I reached out and touched the coffin lid, and said, "Old Xue, this matter is really interesting, the nail on the coffin lid is missing." What does this mean? It has been opened before. ”
Xue Qian said: "You mean, Wang Fatzi came back from the dead? ”
I shook my head: "Then I don't know, but there's a good chance it's empty." ”
The two of us stood on the wall of the pit and kicked out a small platform with our feet. And then one man stood there one by one. Leaned down and grabbed the lid of the coffin.
I said to Xue Qian: "Old Xue, I'll count one, two, three, let's lift the coffin together, how about it?" ”
Xue Qian said: "Lao Zhao, isn't it a bit reckless for us to do this?" In case it's a ghost or a zombie inside. As soon as we open the lid, he will give us a look. The two of us will be buried in this grave. ”
I said, "Forget it, it's not sure if there's a body in there." ”
At this point, I shouted, "One, two, three, up." ”
With a muffled sound, the coffin lid was lifted
