Chapter 8 Thousand Coffin Plank Road (5)

(It's only reputable to update on time, and it's over today.) Continued on Monday. ）

"You see?" I asked, "Didn't you say no one saw it that night?" ”

"My house is right next to yours. That night I came out to pee on the floor and happened to see it. ”

I thought back to the location of Ah Fa's house, and it was indeed not far from the old house. "So what was going on?"

Ah Fa thought about it for a moment and said, "Actually, it was your father who fainted that night. Ah Fa played with the flashlight and said, "Your grandfather did come again after the doctor from the next village left, and then your grandmother followed him out." ”

"And then? How's it going? I asked.

"And then I don't know." Ah Fa saw that I didn't believe it and added, "Please, I just got up to go to the bathroom." ”

I saw that Ah Fa had no choice but to nod and stop talking. Ah Fa saw that I didn't speak, and he lowered his head to play with the flashlight and didn't speak. The two of them were silent.

The resurrection of my grandfather was. In addition, if what Ah Fa said is true, then what did Uncle lie to me for?

While I was still pondering, Ah Fa jumped off the coffin and said, "Let's go." ”

I looked up and saw that Ah Fa was already carrying his backpack.

"Where's Ah Cai?" I asked.

"He's waiting for us down there." Ah Fa pointed in a direction below. I looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a twinkle of light. It should be Ah Choi who is signaling us. But the strange thing is, since we are so well equipped, why not buy a pair of walkie-talkies? Isn't that much more convenient?

followed Ah Fa down a few floors without stopping. During this period, I saw that Ah Choi kept walking in front of us and kept a distance of two floors of plank road. And the distance has never been reduced.

"Why don't you let Ah Cai wait for us? It's too dangerous to let him walk in front alone. I said.

"Neither I nor he have been here, so we have to be very careful."

I looked at the coffin embedded in the wall next to it, and I always had an eerie feeling in my heart. And as we went down, the coffins along the way got older and older. It reminds me of zombies in old Hong Kong movies.

"Hey," I whispered.

"What?"

"Could it be a corpse in this coffin?" I asked cautiously.

"You've watched too many movies, haven't you?" Ah Fa said, not even looking back when he spoke. But as soon as I finished speaking, I saw Ah Fa take out something from his backpack with his backhand and shake it with his back to me.

"What is this?" I asked. Then, in the afterglow of the flashlight, all I could see was a black thing in his hand.

"Black donkey hooves." Ah Fa said, and after saying that, he received it in his bag again. As if knowing my confusion, Ah Fa explained: "The hooves of the black donkey can prevent the corpse from rising. ”

"Didn't you just say there could be no zombies?" I asked.

"In some places, the corpses buried will be transformed for some special reasons. For example, the place where the burial is very angry, or there are a lot of corpses buried in that place -- oh, we call it a place of corpses. There are a number of other conditions. As long as these conditions are met, the corpse will produce some changes. ”

I was told by Ah Fa's face changed, pointed to a coffin next to me and stammered: "Then is this the place where corpses are accumulated?"

Ah Fa didn't answer me directly, but shrugged with his back to me.

Then there was nothing to say all the way. I'm tired of walking so much in one day. So he just walked with his head down, and he didn't bother to talk to Ah Fa again.

The two of them just went down a few more floors. I occasionally glanced up at Ah Cai, who was walking in front, and found that he was still two stories away from us.

As he was walking, Ah Fa suddenly stopped. I just walked with my head down, and I didn't pay attention to him, and I bumped into him all at once.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"There is a situation." Ah Fa looked in Ah Cai's direction and said.

I looked up. I found that we had begun to reach the edge of the fog at some point. And looking at Ah Fa's finger position, Ah Cai, who was walking in front of us, had already entered the dense fog. If it weren't for Ah Choi shining a flashlight at us, I really wouldn't have found Ah Choi's location. And even then, I just saw a slightly blurry point of light. The flashlight's beam couldn't penetrate the fog below.

"What's the situation?" I asked again.

"I don't know," Ah Fa frowned as he looked at Ah Cai's signal. "Go, go." Ignoring me, I didn't hear it, and directly quickened my pace and rushed over.

As soon as I saw Ah Fa in such a hurry, I thought to myself, could it be that Ah Cai below found the zombie. I felt a chill in my back. I just wanted to tell him not to go down, but I found that the person was already more than ten meters away. So I hurried up to keep up.

After chasing Ah Fa and walking down another level, the fog became heavier and heavier. By the time we arrived at Ah Cai's location, the fog was so thick that we couldn't see people's faces clearly from three meters away.

"What's wrong?" Ah Fa asked.

"There's someone down here." Ah Cai looked at the plank road on the lower floor and said.

"Anyone?" I was stunned. The heart says no, right? Who would come to this hellish place?

"Am you right?" Ah Fa asked. Compared to me, Ah Fa is much calmer.

"I don't know." Ah Cai said.

"Don't know? I don't know how do you say that there is someone down there? I asked, "It's so foggy here, could it be that you're mistaken?" ”

"No, it won't." Ah Cai looked at the plank road below, paused and said, "I wasn't sure just now, so I followed them down one floor." Otherwise, I'll meet you before I go into the fog. ”

"You mean them?" I asked, "Not alone?" "Damn, a circle of people come here to travel?

"It's two." Ah Cai said. After speaking, he turned his face to look at Ah Fa, frowned, and continued: "The fog is too thick for me to see clearly." I only saw two things walking one after the other, and they seemed to be carrying things. ”

I noticed that Ah Choi used the word "thing" instead of "person" when describing it. So he asked, "You said that the fog is too thick, could it be that you are mistaken?" Then he thought about it and said, "Could it be that someone in the village has died recently, and someone has carried it in for burial?" Didn't you say they were carrying things? ”

"That's not right." "There have been no deaths in the village lately. Moreover, Ah Fa and I are the latest batch of mourners. ”

"Could that be" I was about to say if it was some people who were secretly buried in the village, but Ah Choi suddenly covered my mouth and winked at me to signal me not to speak. At the same time, he tilted his head towards Ah Fa, signaling him to pay attention to our feet.

I saw Ah Fa nodding and carefully walked to the edge of the plank road and poked his head out to look down. And at this time, I heard a series of subtle "whoosh" sounds. Hold your breath and listen carefully, the sound is right at our feet. If you look closely, the sound is a bit like the sound of an iron chain rubbing against the floor.
