"Brother Chen." He fumbled to his feet and said, "You've come to see me." ”

I held my suitcase, found it a little difficult to speak, paused, and said, "I brought you some food." ”

Lu Su said: "Refrigerator, I ate." "I could see this, because he couldn't see, so the floor was full of leftover bags, and the room was very different from when I first left, half of the sheets and bedding were on the bed, half on the ground, and the whole child couldn't take care of himself.

I handed him Chen Tiande's antidote, motioned him to eat it first, and waited for about ten minutes, the effect of the medicine was onset, Lu Su gradually looked at things, looked at the mess he made, and was embarrassed, and then stared at the suitcase next to me curiously, and said, "Eat?" ”

I nodded, and his nose twitched, as if he had found something, and with a look of suspicion on his face, he froze in place.

Although the smell of this zongzi is light, it is not completely absent, and the smell of stinky salted fish can be faintly smelled in the air. Lu Su was obviously no stranger to this smell, he took a step back, a look of fear appeared on his face, and stammered: "Chen, Brother Chen, what is inside?" ”

I said, "Can't you smell it?" I know you don't want to eat these, but it's been five days since you last ate, and if you don't eat again, you'll die. ”

Lu Su was not ignorant of the world as I imagined, he immediately asked, "Where did you get this stuff?" ”

At this time, of course, you can't tell the truth: "Dig it, I'll find a way to restore you to normal." But before that, you have to live. It wasn't easy for me to get this thing, and I almost died in the fight, I hope you don't let my kindness go to waste. Such a coaxing, a person who is seventeen or eighteen years old and has been locked up for more than ten years, where can he hear it, and his face suddenly showed a tangled look.

After a moment, he shook his head, took a few steps back, and said as if talking to himself, "When a person dies, he should put it in a coffin and then bury it in the soil, what is the point of us living like this." Our family makes coffins, and my father said that in this life, people come with stripes, and no matter how many things they have before they are born, everything is empty after death, and only that coffin is the final destination. I should have been in a coffin, not ...... like I am now"

I was very surprised, the ants are still stealing life, even people like Xiao Jing are trying their best to survive, why does he have no will to survive at all, and even his biggest dream is to be put in a coffin? It's definitely the weirdest thing I've ever heard in my life.

Thinking so, I asked.

Lu Su said: "Do you know what it feels like to be better off than dead? I couldn't even kill myself if I wanted to. Locked underground, surrounded by corpses, I ate them bite by bite. ”

When I heard this, I secretly said in my heart, if this was an ordinary person, eighty percent would have gone crazy a long time ago, and it was not easy for him to speak clearly now. But I can't really let him starve to death like this, otherwise I won't be able to make a deal with Lu Su. But his words moved my heart, so I asked, "Do you remember why he did this to you?" "To be exact, what did Lu Sufei want to get from him by raising him so hard?

What kind of cave or other words did he unconsciously say before, could it be related to this?

Lu Su immediately nodded and said, "There is a cave. ”

I said, "What cave?" ”

While reminiscing, Lu Su began to talk about the events of more than ten years ago.

The coffin shop of the Lu family is a business, and behind the town is the deep mountains, with dense trees in the mountains, and even rare tree species such as agarwood. There weren't any big cities around the mountain, so it wasn't remarkable, and at that time, there was very little poaching and poaching.

The raw materials of the Lu family's coffin shop are locally sourced.

However, this is illegal after all, so when materials are needed, a family of three usually goes into the mountains at night to cut down trees.

More than ten years ago, there was an old man in the city, his family was very wealthy, his ancestral home was in Sanxi Town, he had cancer, and he wanted to return to his roots before he died, so he cultivated in Sanxi Town, and found the coffin of the Lu family to lay the coffin.

Their requirements are relatively high, they want to make a two-layer coffin inside and outside, and they heard that there is agarwood in the mountain, so they want to use agarwood to make an inner sleeve.

In these years, it was a black lacquer coffin, made of ordinary green oka wood or cypress wood, buried in the soil, and in the rainy season, it would rot in two or three months. It's rare to see someone like that. It turns out that this old man has a psychological shadow, so he attaches great importance to what is behind him.

When he was a child, a man in the same village died, and two months after he was buried, because there was no rain in the local area, Mr. Feng Shui said that there was a drought and he had to fight. Going around and around, and finally dug up the man's grave, the coffin material was not good, and it was summer, when it was dug out, the coffin was completely rotten, and the strange thing was that the corpse inside was rotting very slowly, and the body was full of yellow old maggots crawling, not to mention how disgusting.

The old man thought that after he died, he couldn't sleep in peace when he was covered with corpses in and out of his nose, mouth and ears, so he had to make a coffin and use agarwood.

People are rich, children and grandchildren are also filial, the price is naturally very high, after this transaction, not only can the home be renovated, but the rest can be saved, and Lu Su will ask for a wife in the future. And this is a business, agarwood, just go into the mountains to find it.

The job was immediately taken.

Lu Su's father recalled that he had seen an agarwood tree in the mountains, the location was a little remote, back and forth, estimated that it would take a whole day, so he asked Lu Su's mother to watch the shop at home, took Lu Su with him, packed up some dry food, and went into the mountain.

At that time, legends about wild men had been circulating in the mountains, and Lu Su was a little timid. At that time, he was supposed to go to school, but because Lu Su had a serious illness halfway through and missed some classes, he couldn't get into the university, so he started to help in the coffin shop early.

The father and son shuttled through the mountains, and when it was getting dark, they found the agarwood tree, and when they took out the saw and axe and were about to start, Lu Su suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him behind him. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a figure by the faint light of a flashlight.

He could hardly be called a man, his hair was unkempt, long hanging down to his calves, naked, except for a black rag around his waist, and he was looking at them with a beast-like gaze. Lu Su shouted in fright: "Savage! Almost as soon as he spoke, the wild man swooped down on them at a rapid pace.

The savage was like an ape, nimbly shuttling through the trees, and the path was so strange that even if the two of them had weapons such as axes and saws, you would not be able to parry. In an instant, Lu Su was pressed to the ground by him, and the man's nails had obviously not been cut for a long time, long and hard, like the claws of a beast, and they dug directly into Lu Su's face, and they were about to be inserted into his eyes.

Father Lu reacted quickly enough, and at the last moment, he violently hit the wild man with his body, and then grabbed Lu Su, and the two ran for their lives. But how can they outrun the wild people who have been active in the mountains all year round, and they are about to be caught up, so this time, Lu Su suddenly found a cave.

The entrance to the cave was quite small, and the entrance of the cave was overgrown with weeds and other things, Lu Su reminded them, and the two of them immediately went into the cave. The cave was narrow, and the savage relied on his nimble body and surprise attack. If he goes to a small place where he can't dodge and hide, it's not so scary.

After the two of them got into the cave, the wild man also chased in, and the specific situation in the cave did not have time to see clearly, the three of them fought in one place, and they all suffered some injuries, but in the end, the wild man was difficult to beat, after all, his advantage was suppressed, and he had no weapons on his body, not even a piece of clothing, it was completely a meat knife, and it was strange not to suffer.

The wild man quickly retreated, but strangely enough, instead of running outside the cave, he ran inside.

Father Lu and Lu Su were stained with blood, and the two gasped for breath and looked at each other, feeling strange.

Lu Su speculated: "Could this cave be its nest?" ”

Father Lu used a flashlight to observe the four walls around the cave, he was a craftsman, and he saw at a glance that the cave was artificially polished, and he turned the light in, and at the junction of light and darkness, a stone man suddenly appeared.

Lu Su was taken aback and said, "Dad, what is that?" How do you have a stone figure? ”

Father Lu is old and knows more, so he thought about it and thought, could it be a place like an ancient tomb? Father Lu has seen the news, many ancient tombs in the mountains, with geological changes, some will be exposed to the ground, or directly collapsed.

Could this be a grave crossing?

They make coffins, they deal with dead people, so that they don't feel afraid, and Father Lu even thinks about reporting to the Cultural Relics Bureau, maybe he can get a bonus. They don't know much, so they naturally don't think about robbing tombs, they just think that getting a government bonus is already very good.

Just as the two of them decided to leave, something suddenly flashed behind the stone man from the light.

PS: Happy New Year's Day, New Year's Day, everyone should be great.
