Volume 2 Tuoshi Ridge _ Chapter 5 Empty Coffin

After the cold man made a decision, he pulled his feet and followed in the direction where the figure was walking, and the trendy man and I did not slack off, and immediately followed him closely. Wu Dahan hesitated for a moment, and then followed us towards the cemetery.

The figure was still much faster than us, and by the time we got to the graveyard, he was gone!

After arriving at the cemetery, Wu Dahan was not as scared as he was just now, he ran to his father's grave with an arrow, only glanced at it and exclaimed, pointed to the grave and stammered, "This, what's going on?" How did someone dig up my father's grave? ”

We hurriedly walked up to take a look, but no, the grave that had been buried in the middle of the night did not know when it had been dug up. The people who dig the grave seem to be in a hurry, digging everywhere is dirt, the whole grave pile is in chaos, what surprises us is that Wu Dahan's father's coffin is not in the tomb, and it has not been carried out, but erected, the coffin lid is half open and half hidden, and we can't see whether there are people inside!

Ever since I was possessed by a lewd ghost, I have a psychological shadow of this half-open and half-closed coffin, especially when I see this coffin still standing in an extremely strange posture in the tomb, I feel even more worried, and I dare not step forward to see what is going on.

The trendy man jumped into the tomb first, pushed the coffin lid open with a little force, and after pushing it away, his face became solemn when he looked at it, and then looked up at us and said in a low voice, "The coffin is empty!" ”

Is the coffin empty?

After the trendy man said that the coffin was empty, he asked for the kerosene lamp again, and after shining it in the coffin, he gasped and said to me and the cold man, "Senior brother, Fengzi, you come to see the inside of this coffin." ”

Although the skills and skills of the trendy man are not as good as the cold man, he is also well-informed, and he can make him gasp, which is obviously not an ordinary thing, so I immediately hugged the yo and came over with the cold man. When Wu Dahan saw us coming over, he was also curious to come over and see what was going on in the coffin.

Although the sky was still very dark, the trendy man put the kerosene lamp directly into the coffin, and then showed us with his fingers, "Look at these scratches, Uncle Wu must have struggled hard at that time......

After seeing it clearly, I also gasped!

On both sides of the coffin and on the coffin lid, there are deep or shallow scratches everywhere, and there are even blood stains in some places, it is supposed that the nails were broken when the coffin was grabbed with your hands, and then the blood was stained!

Looking at the dense scratches on the coffin, we were silent together, and the appearance of Old Man Wu struggling and beating in the coffin came to mind, how desperate and scared he should have been at that time to scratch so many scratches on the coffin with his hands!

After Wu Dahan saw the scratches and blood stains on the coffin, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and he didn't dare to cry loudly, so he could only choke in a low voice and suppress and say, "Dad, my dear father, you have suffered......

The three of us looked at Wu Dahan who was choking in a low voice silently, and no one stepped forward to support him, let alone reprimanded him for believing in such a strange custom, and personally buried his father alive!

Sometimes, reason and family affection may be played with by ignorant customs and habits, but those who are deeply involved in it do not know it.

We were silent for a moment, and soon began to explore how Wu Dahan's father could not be in the coffin, and at that time I thought of two possibilities:

First, it was Wu Dahan and his father who crawled out of the coffin by himself.

Because the mourners knew that Wu Dahan would come to dig the grave in the middle of the night, so when they buried it, they only symbolically buried a layer of floating soil, and did not bury too porcelain, but even so, a person was packed in a coffin, and a layer of soil was buried on the coffin, and the probability that he could push open the heavy coffin lid and then crawl out of the soil was very small.

What's more, the person who was buried alive was an old man who was already seventy-three years old!

So, it's very unlikely.

Second, someone or something got him out of the coffin.

Thinking of this, I quickly looked at the graveyard that had been dug up, but after searching for a long time, I found no human or animal footprints, but instead found a mark that resembled something crawling, and this trace stretched all the way up the mountain......

Neither of these inferences seemed likely, and I was completely confused:

"Strange, logically speaking, it is impossible for Angkor and his father to climb out of the coffin alone. But there are no footprints in this cemetery, only a trace, which means that no one saved him. Could it really be that Uncle Wu pushed open the lid of the coffin, then crawled out of the mound, and then crawled away? Looking at the trail that stretched up the mountain, I speculated with a puzzled face, "But why didn't he climb in the direction of home, but up the mountain?" ”

The trendy man quickly retorted to me, "Even if Uncle Wu is strong enough and has a strong will to survive to really crawl out of the grave, what is the matter with this erected coffin?" Could it be that Uncle Wu was idle and bored after crawling out of the coffin, so he erected the coffin to play by the way? Also, the figure we saw when we came, Angkor was sure to be his father, where did that figure go, what is he? What about footprints? How come there are no footprints? ”

In a hurry, he used something to describe that figure, Wu Dahan was nervous, and he didn't care, he just stared at a messy cemetery, and didn't say anything, because we thought of everything he could think of, and he didn't know what was going on for a while.

I frowned again, I originally felt that my inference was not very valid, but now it was refuted by the trendy man in a few words, and I couldn't see what was going on, who dug the grave, why was the coffin erected, and where did Wu Dahan's father go?

As we deduced, the cold man looked around the graveyard for a long time, then came back and whispered to us, "There's something near this graveyard, let's be careful!" ”

Something near the graveyard?

Our spirits tensed up again, I put the paper figure in my hand on the ground, one hand touched the ink ruler in my arms, I looked around in my arms, and then pointed in a direction with my chubby little finger, and my little face was tense.

I followed her little hand, and she was pointing in the right direction where the trail seemed to crawl out. I took a few steps forward and stood on tiptoe to see that the weeds on the mountain were fierce, and when I climbed over, they would overwhelm a large patch of grass, so the marks would be obvious. Standing in my direction, following the trace, it was easy to see that the trail had crossed one col and then extended to another.

I turned my head to look at the cold man, who nodded at me, and said to Wu Dahan: "Uncle Wu didn't climb out by himself, something dragged him away." ”

Wu Dahan raised his head suddenly, wiped a handful of tears with the back of his hand, and stammered and asked, "Little, little brother, how did you know that my father was dragged away?" Ah, being dragged away, where was my father dragged to? ”

Wu Dahan was completely stunned by what was happening in front of him, and he spoke incoherently, looking at the cold man's eyes with surprise.

The cold man didn't answer him immediately, but asked him a question, "There were old people in your village who were buried alive before, have you ever encountered this situation before?" ”

Wu Dahan thought about it seriously for a while, and shook his head again, "For such a thing as sending gods, the people in the village will help you send it, but no one will help you come back in the middle of the night to see it." There are still old people alive in the village, and there are some who have not survived, but whether they are alive or dead, no one in their family will mention a word or a half to outsiders, so I don't know if this kind of thing has happened before. ”

I looked disappointed, obviously asking Wu Dahan this question in vain.

The cold man didn't say much, just showed us, and saw him turn around and pretend to drag a person to the mountain, and after walking a few steps, he said to us: "Actually, it's not that there are no footprints, but the footprints have been swept away by the people who dragged them!" He's covered up everything else, don't you see something unusual about this graveyard? ”

After the cold man demonstrated, I suddenly realized, patted my leg and said excitedly: "That's right, why didn't I think of this!" This person got Uncle Wu out of the cemetery, and then covered up his footprints, but no matter how he tried to cover up, he would always leave a row of footprints. Therefore, he thought of a trick and simply dragged Uncle Wu to the mountain, so as to sweep away his own footprints. When we get to the mountains, we don't have to hide it, and we won't see his footprints anyway. As for why the coffin was erected, it was because this person's strength alone was limited, and he probably didn't have any tools in his hand, so he simply touched the coffin, tied it with a rope, and then turned the coffin over. This buried kidney, after the coffin turned over, he was exposed, and he was able to get Uncle Wu out, think about it, isn't that the case? ”

After I explained in such detail, Wu Dahan also understood, he looked at the mountain in a panic, and after taking a look, he unconsciously took a few steps back, as if he was very scared.

"Angkor, you are familiar with the environment of the village, do you know what direction the traces followed? Let's follow up now, maybe we can rescue Uncle Wu!" The trendy man patted Wu Dahan's shoulder, pointed to the direction where the trace extended, and asked him.

Wu Dahan was slapped by him coldly, and he was so frightened that he suddenly trembled, and his whole person shook like chaff, and it took a long time to squeeze out three words from between his teeth, "Abandoned corpse rock." ”
