Chapter 137: Myself
But when life and death are at stake, nature is mostly unreliable and blind.
Jiang Shoushou kicked and slammed around, trying to escape from the coffin, but his heart was nervous, coupled with the airtightness of the space, his body was depleted quickly, and finally he gave up the idea of breaking the coffin and escaping with his own meager strength, and could only wait quietly for rescue, sweat wet his whole body, and had to take off his clothes and pants one by one.
In the blur, he felt something strange, as if someone had opened a gap, and a cool breeze poured in, which was like charcoal in the snow, and his breathing became much smoother. But the good times did not last long, and the fresh air disappeared in less than a minute, and the sultry air surrounded him again, and at the same time, he unconsciously shrunk his body into a ball, and became alert, because he sensed that he was not the only one in the coffin.
The coffin is still too big for an adult, not to mention for a teenager, most of the space is not touched by Jiang Shoushou and cannot be seen. But just now, there was something more in that space that forced him to cheer up. He believed that he had sensed something, and that there must be something else in the coffin, dead or alive, that was disgusting. After thinking about it, he felt that he was too careful, because the coffin was so big, and he had groped for it, and there was nothing at all, could it be said that a small gap could get into a person, it was obviously unrealistic, even if it was a mouse, it should be a little still, why was there no sound at all.
Jiang Renshou began to exclude the possibilities one by one to explain the situations encountered, each of which was reasonable and unreasonable, in short, there was no conclusion. Just when he was thinking about it, a dim blue light suddenly appeared in front of him. He was really scared stupid this time, because it was accompanied by the flash of blue light. A child about his age was leaning across from him with his legs in his arms, naked. Buried his head, not knowing if it was a human or a ghost.
Jiang Shoushou finally collapsed, crying loudly, eager to knock a hole in the coffin, but unfortunately he didn't have any strength, although he was afraid, his eyes were still staring at the other party, for fear that the other party would make any moves to hurt himself. The other party was also calm and motionless. didn't make a strange sound, gradually, Jiang Shoushou began to test it, and threw the clothes and pants he took off one by one to the opposite side, if he was bold, I am afraid that he would have fainted in fear if he were someone else.
Yes, this "man" was not hostile, and Jiang Shoushou comforted himself in isolation. Only by thinking like this can you keep yourself from being scared to death.
Suddenly, the "person" on the opposite side moved, and the amplitude was extremely small, if there was no blue light. Jiang Shoushou would never have found out, he immediately became alert, and his body tightened a little.
It's a face. The face of this "man" was slowly rising, right away. Jiang Renshou was able to see who it was, but he was no longer timid for some reason. A sense of familiarity came to my face, how could this "person" be so similar to himself. Full of curiosity, he carefully observed the "person" in front of him, hair, arms, legs and toes, exactly the same, by the way, there is an innate birthmark on the sole of his right foot, if you match it, you can be sure that the other party is yourself.
Jiang Shoushou slowly lowered his head, and when he hadn't seen the soles of this "person's" feet, he happened to meet the other party's face, and at this moment, he was stunned.
"Why, why, how do you look the same as me?" Jiang Shoushou blurted out and asked, he no longer cared about the danger, maybe he didn't think he would harm himself.
The "Jiang Shoushou" also opened his mouth, his voice was the same as the real Jiang Shoushou, but he was much calmer, and said: "I am you, you are me, if you want to get out of here, ......there is only one way." ”
Jiang Shoushou couldn't wait to ask, "What's the way?" ”
"Play dead."
"Playing dead?"
Jiang Shoushou wanted to continue asking, but he pointed up at himself on the other side, and then a stronger cool breeze blew in his face, blowing so that he couldn't open his eyes, and the blue light disappeared at the same time, and in less than a second, he vaguely saw something engraved on the coffin lid.
"Ah" Jiang Shoushou shouted, and woke up suddenly, it turned out to be a dream, he wore a lot of clothes and pants, in addition to more transparent sweat, he still remembered the scene he saw in that dream, and it was extremely real.
He remembered what he said in his dream about "playing dead", and for some reason, he was very sure that this was the only way, but how to pretend to be dead, and when, if no one found out for a few days, it would be really dead, and this method of sitting back and waiting for death could really succeed. And the engraving on the lid of the coffin, whether he was wrong, he wondered if being locked in the coffin was also a nightmare that he wouldn't wake up from.
Jiang Shoushou's strong desire to survive put aside these rootless thoughts for the time being, and groped in the direction where the engraving appeared, and sure enough, he touched it, it was words, and it was a sense of familiarity, it was eight characters, and it was ...... own eight characters.
Why is his eight characters engraved here, is it said that this coffin is for him, or is it a coincidence, whether the eight characters that appear out of thin air indicate death or rebirth.
Jiang Shoushou judged the hint given by himself in the dream, and suddenly, he thought of a person-Xiao Mao, Xiao Mao and he were born at the same time in the same year, month, and day, and the eight characters were naturally the same, combined with Xiao Mao's sudden disappearance, a big conspiracy appeared in his mind, a big conspiracy that was enough to see through human nature.
Jiang Shoushou heard his mother inadvertently say that ten years ago, when he and Xiao Mao were about to be born, Xiao Mao's father was bedridden for no reason, and his mother was very tired with a big belly. Because he was uprooted from home, the family did not have any relatives, and his mother saw that she was a neighbor, and sometimes she went to take care of her.
Once, his mother asked Lang Zhong to put a safe pulse, and by the way, Lang Zhong gave Xiao Mao's mother one, Lang Zhong swore that the birth dates of the two children, Jiang Shoushou should be born on the 16th of July of the lunar calendar, and Xiao Mao will be on the 15th of July. Originally, Xiao Mao's mother's melancholy face was even more gloomy, and she cried for no reason.
It's strange that somehow the two children were born on the same day, or at the same time. For this reason, Lang Zhong was puzzled, and he who had never misjudged him was always worried about this matter.
A few days after the two were born, Xiao Mao's dying father was able to work in the field, which surprised the neighbors, saying that his illness was washed away by happy events, and he did not let the child be born on Halloween, so as to escape the bad spell. At the time, no one would have suspected that there was anything wrong with this statement. (To be continued......)
