Yue Yao opened her eyes in the dark.

She was lying in a small place at this time. This small place can probably only accommodate her alone, and she can't see five fingers around her, even if she opens her eyes wide, she still can't see anything. Underneath him were hard planks, and on both sides were the same.

She tried to reach out and push away the darkness directly above her, only to find that she didn't have any strength to lift her hand. She tried to cry out for help again, but she couldn't make a sound. can only open his mouth in vain, like a fish out of water.

There was a faint sound of people talking outside, and there seemed to be three or four people, and what they said couldn't really be heard.

After they had spoken a few words, they stopped talking. Then there was the sound of something falling down.

Yue Yao lay in that small space, listening carefully to the sounds outside, recalling all the things she had encountered before.

Suddenly, her eyes widened as if she had thought of something.

She knew where she was now.

It's a coffin.

After thinking about this matter, Yue Yao was surprised for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief. As if he had given up the struggle, he relaxed his body, lay down on the hard wooden plank, and smiled bitterly.

The sound of rustling outside became smaller and quieter, and finally disappeared. It seemed that someone had said a few words in a distant place, and then the sound of a car starting was heard.

Yue Yao was lying in the coffin, listening to the sound of the car gradually moving away, and then she couldn't hear any sound at all.

After such a period of time, she regained some consciousness, although she still couldn't make a sound, at least she could control her actions to a certain extent.

She wrapped her hands around her shoulders, feeling the wet and cold breath around her, and her cold body shivered.

She was wearing only a thin pajamas, and she couldn't keep out the cold at all.

Two lines of tears slid down the corners of her eyes and dripped onto the plank beneath her.

How did I get to where I am now?

Yue Yao questioned herself repeatedly in her mind, but she never got an answer.

She just graduated from university a few months ago, majoring in finance. After graduating, she did not look for a job, but stayed at home. Half a month ago, he just fell out with his family, and now he is lying in a coffin waiting to die.

And a little earlier, she was the best person in the class, and even got a place in the insurance research institute, although she took the initiative to refuse. And she is also one of the few people in the school who received several good job offers from large companies before she graduated, and of course she turned down this job offer.

The classmates have already found jobs and are busy with their own things; or have not yet found a job and temporarily stay at home and submit resumes; Or when you are preparing to take the graduate school entrance examination for the civil service examination, you are immersed in hard study. Alone, she took a hard-seat train for more than 20 hours, ate several meals of instant noodles, crossed most of China, and came to a small mountain village where she had not even heard the name, just to find her "boyfriend".

Before graduating, the man had a fight with his roommate for unknown reasons. Not to mention that he was sent to the hospital, he was demerit because of this, and he couldn't get his graduation certificate and degree certificate. After he was discharged from the hospital, he unilaterally announced the breakup with only one sentence to Yue Yao, "I don't think we are suitable", and then disappeared without a trace.

When Yue Yao went to his bedroom to look for him, all he saw was an empty bed and the strange eyes of his roommate. Then she went everywhere she could think of, contacted all the people they knew in common, but never found him.

Yue Yao was depressed for a long time because of this incident, and even almost missed the graduation defense. It wasn't until she got her diploma that she immediately took the home address she had asked for from the Academic Affairs Office and wanted to go to her "boyfriend's" hometown to find someone.

Naturally, this decision was opposed by her family. At that time, she said that she was trapped by love, or her brain was in water, that is, she wanted to find the missing "boyfriend" and marry him. even committed suicide several times for this incident, forcing her parents to lock her in the house for two months.

And then......

Thinking of this, she lowered her head to "look" at her still flat lower abdomen, sniffed, and raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face.

Later, she finally fell out with her family, and came to her "boyfriend's" hometown with a few hundred dollars, just to ask why.

It was a small, isolated mountain village that looked remote, with low-rise bungalows. It had just rained lightly on the day she arrived, and a few barefoot children were chasing and playing on the muddy dirt road, throwing mud at each other, and chickens and ducks were everywhere on the side of the road looking for food in the grass.

Yue Yao took a photo of her "boyfriend" He Ming and inquired from house to house in this village - the people here speak with a strong accent, and she can basically communicate with them by even speaking and gesturing. In the end, I found the person I was looking for in the mountain near the village.

When he found the man, he was standing in a small courtyard, in front of a drying rack made of two bamboo poles and a plastic rope, and he lowered his head to arrange the flower sheets on the drying rack.

No more than three paces behind him, a young woman with a big belly was sitting by a well, washing a large basin of clothes.

The courtyard of He Ming's house was a small courtyard surrounded by a low fence made of bamboo chips, with three low tiled houses in the yard, and a thin greyhound wandering around with his head down.

The dog was unleashed, and immediately ran towards her while barking loudly after seeing Yue Yao, directly frightening her.

He Ming looked up and saw her when he heard the dog barking, and he didn't know why he nervously glanced back at the pregnant woman behind him, and then enthusiastically welcomed Yue Yao into the courtyard of his house.

What happened afterwards was quite simple. Yue Yao's arrival was warmly welcomed by He Ming's family, and even strongly asked her to stay here for a few more days.

He Ming's family only has three small tiled houses, but there are five people living in them. In addition to his parents, there is his grandmother, who is paralyzed in bed, and his sister-in-law, who is eight months pregnant.

His elder brother goes out to work all year round, and can only live at home for half a month all year round.

Now Yue Yao has been added.

Yue Yao stayed in He Ming's house like this. Every day, I help He Ming's sister-in-law and mother do some housework, and when I have nothing to do, I wander around to see the rural scenery that I have never seen before.

For some reason, the neighbors in He Ming's hometown were not enthusiastic about Yue Yao, and often pointed behind her and whispered something. When I went back to ask He Ming, the answer I got was just "the countrymen don't know and are a little curious about her."

After staying for a few days, Yue Yao more or less discovered something that was not quite right.

For example, the people in the village are not enthusiastic about He Ming's family, and they can even be called indifferent. Their attitude towards He Ming's family was not as good as treating Yue Yao, a stranger from outside, and some people would even spit in the courtyard when they passed by the door of He Ming's house. And his people, even if they don't spit, have to say bad luck.

Than He Ming's father took He Ming out in the middle of the night one day, and he didn't know what to do. It wasn't until the next morning that the two went home exhausted, and fell directly into bed until the evening.

Bi He Ming's sister-in-law hardly spoke, just doing farm work in silence every day, and often rolled her eyes at Yue Yao.

Some people also tentatively asked her if she really wanted to marry He Ming and when she was going to go back to her home when Yue Yao was wandering around.

At that time, these things were not taken to Yue Yao's heart, she had been immersed in the joy of reuniting with He Ming after a long absence, and even the poor living conditions in He Ming's family could be endured, not to mention the strange eyes of others.

Because she has always felt that everything she does is her own freedom, not to mention the people she has only known for a few days, even her parents can't control her.

Until tonight, He Ming's parents specially made a large table of good dishes, saying that they would let He Ming follow Yue Yao to her house tomorrow to propose marriage. Therefore, today I will officially entertain Yue Yao, both as a welcome and as a practice.

Of course, Yue Yao was very happy to hear this, and after eating the meal, her stomach was propped up.

As soon as she finished eating, she felt a little sleepy, so she said hello to He Ming's family and went to bed and lay down.

At that time, He Ming's sister-in-law also covered Yue Yao with a quilt for the first time.

Yue Yao happily thought in her heart that her sister-in-law had finally accepted me, and slowly fell asleep.

She slept deeply, and in her deep sleep she felt like she had been moved, placed in something, and covered with a lid. However, she slept so deeply that she thought she was dreaming and never woke up.

She lay in it and dangled for a while, then was put down again.

Then she woke up.

Yue Yao lay in the coffin and briefly went through the experience of this time, but still didn't understand why the current situation happened.

She broke down and cried for a while. After venting his emotions, the expression on his face became firm again. She looked down at her stomach again, and began to raise her hand to smash the coffin lid above her.

I can't just die here. I'm going to go out, and then I must marry He Ming.

Thinking so, she slammed the lid of the coffin harder and harder, making a muffled "bang" sound.

After smashing for a while, she gradually felt physically exhausted, and it was a little difficult to breathe.

Maybe it's a lack of oxygen.

Yue Yao took a deep breath and found that her lungs did not feel soothing at all, and she was a little discouraged.

The air in the coffin became thinner and thinner, and Yue Yao had no strength to struggle, so she could only hold her stomach in despair, waiting for death to come.

The strong will to survive just now only stayed on her for a while, and it came and went quickly. She was even more desperate now than she had been when she first found herself in a coffin.

Her breathing became more and more difficult, and her consciousness gradually blurred, although it was always dark in front of her, and she could not see anything. But she knew that her eyelids were sinking a little.

I'm not going to die here.

In a half-daze, such a thought flashed through her mind, and then she unconsciously spit out two words: "Help......"

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to hear someone chuckle.

Yue Yaoqiang's eyes widened with spirit, looking for the person who made the laugh.

It was still pitch black.

"Anyone?" Yue Yao turned her head left and right, patted the coffin lid above vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone, help!" ”

"Nobody's." Suddenly, someone answered.

"No one, so who are you?" Yue Yao subconsciously asked, but as soon as the words came out, she felt a burst of terrifying fear.

The coffin was small enough to hold her, and the voice of the man who had just spoken seemed to be ringing in her ears.

Who's talking?

Yue Yao looked at the darkness in front of her and swallowed nervously.

There seems to be a strange smell in the coffin.

"I'm your father-in-law." After the man finished speaking, he chuckled lightly and asked Yue Yao, "Lady, what's your name?" ”

"What...... Messire? Yue Yao's teeth chattered a little when she spoke, and her voice was indistinct, "I don't ...... at all I don't know you...... Who are you? ”

"I'm your father-in-law, it doesn't matter if you don't know each other now, you'll know each other soon."

After the man said this, Yue Yao felt a dry hand grasp her chin, and her fingers were still rubbing back and forth on her chin.

At the same time, she smelled a very peculiar stench.

The smell was very choking, unpleasant and indescribable, Yue Yao felt a tumbling stomach at the same time as she smelled the smell.

She retched twice and didn't throw up anything.

"Oh, lady, you look so good." The man spoke again.

As he spoke, the stench around him seemed to grow stronger, as if it were coming from his mouth.

"I'm not ......" Yue Yao wanted to defend herself, but suddenly stopped when she was talking about it.

What not? Who is this man? What is the situation now?

She had a terrible idea in mind.

The man didn't care, and picked up Yue Yao's words when she stopped in the middle of her words: "You are not yet, but you will be soon." ”

He spoke in a hoarse voice, sounding like a man of forty or fifty, with a strange tailnote.

In short, there is no normal place.

Yue Yao raised her hand and wanted to knock off the hand that was grabbing her chin, but she waved it empty.

But the touch on the chin is also real.

"It turns out that lady, you are in such a hurry to have a room with me." The man seemed to stretch out another hand, pressed Yue Yao's neck, and then said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine soon, when you die, we will be able to cave the room." ”

As he spoke, he began to exert force on his hand, choking Yue Yao's neck, as if he was about to strangle her to death.

"Don't worry. Let the husband help you. ”

Yue Yao was pressed into the coffin by the man and choked her neck hard. While feeling difficult to breathe, it was as if I heard some bad sounds coming from my cervical spine.

Yue Yao struggled desperately a few times. But whether she kicked her legs or waved her hands, she couldn't touch anything except the coffin boards around her.

She experienced the feeling of being on the verge of death, her fingernails scratching against the coffin board beside her, making a screeching sound.

The man pinched her hand harder and harder.

A few minutes later, Yue Yao's dying movements gradually weakened. She lay there limply. With his eyes wide open and his mouth open, it looked like he would be completely dead in a few minutes.

At this moment, something came from above the coffin.

The hand holding Yue Yao's neck immediately let go, and after the man let out a terrible "scream", he didn't know where to go.

Even the stench that had been in the air all the time disappeared.

The sound above the coffin was getting louder and louder, and it sounded as if someone was smashing the lid of the coffin with something hard.

Yue Yao relieved herself, covered her neck with her hands, and shouted with all her might: "Help!" ”

Even though she tried her best, the sound she made was still not loud, and it sounded like a coquettish cat.

The "bang" sound on the lid of the coffin shook the whole coffin with it.

The sound grew louder and louder, until after a crisp sound of wood breaking, Yue Yao suddenly breathed fresh air again.

There was also a faint glow above the coffin.

Yue Yao stretched out his hand and was about to push open the coffin lid in front of him, but the lid was completely lifted by the person above.

Under the moonlight, a "person" knelt next to the coffin containing Yue Yao, looking down at Yue Yao expressionlessly.

Yue Yao's eyes widened in surprise.

The clothes on the "person" looked like silk, embroidered with complicated patterns, and looked very luxurious, but they were not the style worn by ordinary modern people. Her face was pale and a little weird, her eyes were actually red, her long hair was tied up in strands, hanging down on her chest, and the tips of her hair fell on the side of Yue Yao's face, scratching her side of her face back and forth, a little itchy.

However, Yue Yao was not surprised by this, but by the person's appearance.

She has a very good-looking face, big eyes and a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and a tear mole under the corner of her eye.

It's just that this face Yue Yao is extremely familiar.

It was her own face.
