Chapter 29: The Shadow of the Lonely Grave (3)
Sure enough, it is 80% similar to Lin Kang's imagination, as the older generation still has feudal superstitious thoughts, grandma does have a different view on this matter, especially when Lin Kang mentioned that when he saw the grave, grandma stood up suddenly despite her old body, and the loose skin on her wrinkled face could not hide the overflowing fear.
"Kangkang, did you really see the tomb?" Grandma's body was already trembling a little because of her age, and even her voice trembled uncontrollably when she heard the news.
"Grandma, I didn't lie to you, just tell me, what the hell is going on?" Lin Kang asked eagerly.
Grandma shook her head slightly, and then explained the reason.
It turned out that when Lin Kang was still in elementary school, there was a tragedy that shocked ten miles and eight villages. A group of school-going children found an unrecognizable body in a ditch beside the road, not only with severe scratches on the face, but also with a completely hollowed out stomach. However, the advantages of living in the countryside were also manifested, and someone quickly recognized the person's identity and quickly informed his family.
Later, people learned that the dead man was called Zhao Chunyang, and that day was the day when he returned home after working in the city, and when he arrived in the town, Zhao Chunyang also called his wife and said that the foreman invited them to dinner, and went home after eating. But this phone call turned out to be their last call before parting, that day until the night Zhao Chunyang was completely uncontactable, his wife did not sleep all night with a concern, but the next day was notified that someone found Zhao Chunyang's body.
People called the police, but the police couldn't find any clues, especially in the countryside without a single surveillance, it was really difficult to find the murderer, so the case became an unsolved case. Zhao Chunyang's wife and children couldn't wait for the news, and finally his wife committed suicide by cutting her wrists at home, and when she was discovered, she had already died of blood loss, but her miserable white face had a hideous and weird smile, and her eyes were surprisingly wide, and she couldn't close her eyes after wiping her several times. The old people said that this was too unjust to die!
"And what about her child?" Lin Kang asked.
Grandma sighed, stood up and walked tremblingly to the door of the house, looked at the clear sky outside with cloudy eyes, and said, "I don't know, the child is gone, he has never appeared again, he should have already gone, after all, he is still too young." When the woman died, she left a note on the table saying that if one day a lonely grave appeared in people's sight, it would be that she had returned, and she would take all those who were sorry for her with her. ”
Lin Kang had lunch at his grandmother's house and returned to his house, after listening to what his grandmother said, Lin Kang's mood was extremely heavy, he didn't know what he thought about this matter, sympathized with Zhao Chunyang's experience and worried about others at the same time, maybe this is the psychology of children, in their eyes, they always hope to find a way to get the best of both worlds, even if they don't, they also hope to find a middle point between the two things, but how can this world be so fair.
In the afternoon, Lin Kang received a call from Mr. Tang, saying that there were some important things for him to go to school, and Tang Yingying also said on the phone that not only called him, but everyone who went to see Liu Cui yesterday called over. Since it was a matter notified by the school, Lin Kang naturally didn't dare to slack off, and after saying hello to Wenwen, he walked in the direction of the school.
Along the way, there has been irritability lingering in Lin Kang's heart, and there is no way, Lin Kang simply ran, wanting to forget these troubles through exercise. Lin Kang has been weak since he was a child, although he did not have the situation when he was a child again, but in this season, Wenwen still urged him to wear more clothes. So in the autumn and winter, Lin Kang generally wears more than others, and when he runs like this, sweat slowly oozes from his back. However, Lin Kang's purpose was really achieved, and through this method, he really forgot about those complicated things for a while.
When he was still two hundred meters away from the school, Lin Kang slowed down his running speed and slowly changed back to walking, he didn't want to stand in the middle of his classmates with the smell of sweat. He had just walked a few steps, Lin Kang suddenly felt a sense of discomfort in being stared at, he raised his head and looked around at the ground, and then was surprised to find a lonely grave in the field fifty meters away from the left hand side that was exactly the same as what he saw yesterday. Of course, graves without tombstones actually look exactly the same in appearance.
But there was nothing but this lonely tomb, Lin Kang didn't find the eyes staring at him, but all his attention was focused on the lonely tomb. After watching from a distance for two minutes, Lin Kang's feet walked in the direction of the lonely tomb without being dominated by his consciousness, or it can be said that Lin Kang was no longer conscious at this time, and the only thought that existed in his mind was only one, and the lonely tomb had a very strange attraction, which made him have to go and find out.
When he reached about a third of the way, Lin Kang faintly saw a black shadow move from behind the grave and then quickly stopped, merging with the triangular shadow of the lonely grave. Lin Kang's heart moved, and his conscious consciousness returned to his body in an instant, isn't that black shadow staring at him? Thinking of this, Lin Kang had stopped and strode away, faster than before, and he was eager to know what was going on.
Lin Kang walked faster and faster, and he saw that he was about to reach the grave, when suddenly a hand was put on Lin Kang's shoulder from behind, Lin Kang trembled with fright, and his heartbeat involuntarily increased and accelerated. He turned around abruptly and waved away the hand that was grabbing his shoulder, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Tang Yingying.
"Ouch, Mr. Tang, you're scared me to death......" Lin Kang complained quietly.
"You're scared me to death, I just passed by here, and I saw you walking all the way to this clearing with a blank face, you didn't listen to how I called you, and you wouldn't even turn back, and you walked faster and faster, I was afraid that something would happen to you." Tang Yingying explained.
Lin Kang found that Tang Yingying's high heels and trouser cuffs were full of dust, and there were some slight scratches with dirt on the upper of the high heels.
"Thank you, Mr. Tang." Seeing Tang Yingying's appearance, a warm current surged through Lin Kang's body, and he no longer bothered about Tang Yingying's scaring him, after all, Tang Yingying was really good for him.
"It's okay...... But what happened to you just now? Tang Yingying said as she squatted down to rub her ankles, it is already a lucky thing to run in high heels in this kind of field without breaking the heel, and it is inevitable that the ankle will be injured or worn by the shoe.
"It's not because it's ......" Lin Kang turned around and stretched out his finger to point to the location of the lonely grave that attracted him just now, but when his eyes looked over, there was no shadow of the grave there, and some were just clumps of dirt that were the same as elsewhere.
Lin Kang didn't see it, and Tang Yingying had a secretive smile on his face when he turned around to look for the lonely grave......
