Chapter 16: The Midnight Funeral (Part II)
When the other companion heard this, he also felt strange: "It is indeed much lighter than before, as if it ...... Carried an empty coffin? ”
He was taken aback by his own thoughts, and the others trembled when they heard it, and they couldn't help but look up at the coffin, which didn't matter, only to see a dark shadow on the coffin, sitting there looking at them.
"Ghost~" I don't know who shouted, and the few people who carried the coffin couldn't take care of the coffin at this time, so they threw the lifting bar and ran down the mountain.
The coffin fell directly to the ground and rolled down the mountain, and the funeral crowd behind heard the scream, and saw the coffin rolling down, and ran to the side with a scream, Sun Yang was also infected by the scream, and his heart beat faster.
"Father!" Sun Chengye shouted, didn't care about being afraid, and hurriedly chased after him.
The person in charge was very calm, and yelled: "Don't scream, hurry up and take a look." After speaking, the person in charge took the lead and ran down the mountain with a flashlight, and everyone else looked at each other and hesitated.
Sun Yang was a little speechless, although he was also very scared, but after all, he felt a little guilty in his heart, and he was also his uncle and grandfather, so he didn't like to hide on the side, so he asked for a flashlight from the crowd next to him and chased him. Seeing that Sun Yang, a young man, had passed, several men couldn't hold back on their faces, and hurriedly followed with flashlights.
The road was very dark, the light pillar of the flashlight couldn't see too far away, Sun Yang was a little drumming in his heart, he heard hurried footsteps behind him, and turned around to see someone coming, these figures looked familiar, they had seen a few times in the past two days, Sun Yang suddenly had more confidence.
After they came, several people searched for the bottom of the mountain together, several pillars of light crisscrossed and crisscrossed, and their sight became a little farther away.
Sun Yang and the others vaguely saw a dark shadow under the mountain, and when they walked in, they saw that it was a coffin that had rolled down, and at this moment the coffin was turning on its side, but the coffin lid was lying flat on the ground not far away, obviously the coffin was opened, and everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.
"That Xiao Yang, the coffin is so nailed, how can it be opened? Let's not go over for now, let's go and call more people over. A strong man said to Sun Yang with a weak heart, his voice a little trembling.
"Where's my uncle?" Sun Yang shook his flashlight everywhere and kept beating the drum in his heart, "Where did the shopkeeper and my uncle go?" ”
Several people became even more frightened when they heard this, and while paying attention to the movement of the coffin, they looked around cautiously. The two big men, still holding a flashlight, how could they suddenly disappear, the coffin is here, it is said that they should also be here, and their line is only a short time, they should not run away.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the open coffin again, the coffin mouth was facing down the mountain, everyone could only see the open lid, but they couldn't see the other side, several people glanced at each other, and then turned their eyes to Sun Yang, let him make an idea.
Sun Yang was very worried in his heart, he was very scared, but he could only stubbornly say to a big man next to him: "Big brother, find someone to go back and call someone, let's go over and have a look?" ”
Although Sun Yang pretended to be very calm, he didn't have much confidence in his words, as if wherever he appeared, strange things would happen, and I don't know if it was really because of himself that he brought bad luck to the people around him.
As soon as Sun Yang finished speaking, a frightened man with weak legs had already taken the lead in running back, shouting "I'll go back and call someone" as he ran.
Sun Yang was very contemptuous in his heart, pushed the eldest brother beside him, and motioned for him to walk in front, and everyone went over to have a look.
A few people carefully walked around the coffin and slowly shone their flashlights inside, except for a few mattresses and quilts from the coffin and some beans spilled out, there was nothing in the coffin.
The corpse is gone!
Sun Chengye and the person in charge are gone!
Everyone hurriedly took a few steps back, the flashlight swayed back and forth, and they kept looking back and around, and their hearts were furious.
"What should I do?" Sun Yang asked the big man next to him.
"Why don't we go back first?" The big man asked Sun Yang weakly, but he didn't let his guard down, and his eyes looked everywhere.
Wu Xiaobo and Li Feng were waiting anxiously at the cemetery with the helpers at the moment, and Li Feng said to Wu Xiaobo: "Seeing that the time is about to come, why haven't they come here yet, why don't we go back along the road to have a look?" ”
Wu Xiaobo glanced at the dark night, and said with some reluctance: "Big brother, we are not familiar with the place, so don't run around, otherwise they will have to look for us later." ”
Li Feng didn't answer, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
On the other side, Sun Yang, who was nervous, was about to make up his mind to go back with the big men first, when he suddenly heard a whining sound coming from the woods on the side of the road, like someone was covering his mouth and shouting. Sun Yang looked at the big man, obviously they also heard it, and several people tacitly understood it, and slowly groped towards the place where the sound came from.
Everyone is scared, but since they hear the voice, they are a little bolder.
The sound of shoes stepping on the dry grass made a rustling sound, which added a little tension to the night, and several people didn't dare to breathe, and carefully groped forward.
While Sun Yang searched, he pricked up his ears to carefully identify the direction from which the sound came from, and the whining sound became smaller and smaller, and it was about to disappear. Several people were anxious in their hearts and hurriedly sped up.
"That's not right!" A big man suddenly spoke, "The voice is not getting quieter, but going away, should we chase after it?" ”
Sun Yang thought for a moment and said resolutely: "Chase, human life is at stake, we must catch up." But someone has to stay, or the people behind will not be able to find us. ”
"Xiao Yang, you stay, you are the youngest, wait for them to come, and then you will take them to chase us." A big man said to Sun Yang.
Sun Yang was a little moved, he didn't know what they were called, but they thought about themselves, but Sun Yang glanced back at the empty coffin, thinking that it was better to stay here alone with the eldest brother, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, that's my uncle, I'll go with you." ”
Dahan didn't say anything, just left someone down, took Sun Yang with him, and chased a group of five people to the mountain.
They followed the direction of the sound, very careful. The only way up the mountain was the one for the funeral, but they couldn't go around the way up the mountain, one was in a different direction, and the other was too late. Dahan asked the others to turn off the flashlight and only turn on one of his own, so that they could keep up with him and not fall behind.
After walking for more than half an hour, the whining sound gradually became clear, and it should have been in the mountains at this time. There are no too tall trees along the way, most of them are bushes, and occasionally there is a small tree with a thick bowl mouth, Sun Yang originally wanted to make a mark, but Dahan stopped him, saying that he was very familiar with this place, which would only waste time.
