In the eyes of the villagers, Futuling seemed to have calmed down after the disappearance of the expedition.

However, only those of us who survived that night knew that the calm on the surface of Futu Ridge was actually turbulent.

The day after Chen Jixian's death, I called the county public security bureau and asked them to take Chen Jixian's body away, and he could directly contact the leaders of the provincial capital, and it was estimated that he was a big person, but the county immediately hung up the phone when he heard that I was from Futuling, even if I mentioned Chen Jixian's name, and then I couldn't get through.

I asked Huzi to call the Public Security Bureau as well, but before he could open his mouth, he was hung up.

"What do these policemen mean, no matter what happens in the mountains, Chen Jixian's body must be taken away, and you can't just let someone from a provincial city die and ignore it, right?" I said.

"Maybe I'm scared, in the eyes of outsiders, Guo Huaiyi is dead, and the people of the inspection group are all dead when they enter the forbidden land, who dares to come?" Huzi said.

"Then Chen Jixian's body can't be put here, if no one collects the body, I'll go to Chen's coffin to buy a coffin and bury the person first, it's still summer, and the body can't be put for too long." I said.

"But outsiders can't be buried in the ancestral grave of Futuling." Huzi said.

I said: "When are you still talking about these rules, I can see it, your grandfather and Liu Quan'er, the two old guys, are picking on each other, although Chen Jixian has not known us for a long time, but what to say is also a friend, we are all adults, this responsibility is still there." ”

"With so many people seeing it in broad daylight, what do you want to do?" Huzi asked.

I said, "I went to another village in the afternoon to hire a few villagers to dig a new grave in the wild jujube forest next to the ancestral grave woodland. Then I went to the town to find Chen Coffin and asked him to prepare a coffin, Chen Coffin and I also have a little friendship, give him a few packs of good cigarettes and ask him to help us pull the coffin directly to the wild jujube forest at night, and then we will smuggle Chen Jixian's body over and bury it. Others don't care about this matter, can't we care about it? ”

Huzi nodded and said, "That's okay." ”

Seeing that Huzi agreed, I immediately rode his motorcycle to the next village, quietly invited two people on the side of the road, and after I took them to the wild jujube forest, I first paid them a deposit of fifty yuan for them to dig, and then went to the town to find Chen's coffin.

When Chen Coffin saw that I wanted to buy a coffin, he asked what happened, and I told the truth about adulteration, saying that it was my friend outside who died in an accident. Chen Coffin took my cigarette and couldn't say anything, saying that since he was my friend, he would make a good coffin, and the price would still be according to the price of an ordinary coffin.

I thanked him and rode home, leaving each other's phone numbers and contacting him in the evening.

I called Huzi and told him that the matter was done, and that we would act according to the plan in the evening, and Huzi was a little hesitant on the phone, saying okay, and there was something to tell me at night.

I was so tired that I slept in bed for a while, during which time I heard my mother enter my room, as if she had watched me for a while and then went out.

When I woke up, it was already evening, and seeing that it was almost dark, I hurriedly rode Huzi's motorcycle to the wild jujube forest, and when I arrived, the two villagers who were digging graves were sitting under the shade of the tree, and when they saw me coming, they quickly got up and said, "Little brother, dig according to your requirements." ”

I took one look at the grave and thought it was okay, so I gave each of them another hundred dollars to let them go.

After the two villagers left, I took out my mobile phone and was about to call Huzi to ask him to go out, but I found that the mobile phone had no signal.

Our Mingyue Village is the center of Futuling, and there is a signal tower next to the production team, so the signal in Mingyue Village is better than the signal in the town.

I took out the Xiao Zhou Tian compass, the pointer on it was stable, and there was no magnetic field interference, indicating that there was no magnetic soil under this land.

Huzi's side is easy to handle, a few steps away, I will have to pick him up later, but Chen's coffin must be in a hurry. I only told him that as soon as it was dark, I would pull the coffin to the wild jujube forest in the east of Mingyue Village, but now that it was dark, I didn't contact him, did he pull it or not?

There are several roads to walk from the town to Mingyue Village, it takes more than an hour to come to a trip, and the night time will be longer, in case I ride over and can't meet him, then he will lose his temper, and the coffin will be thrown away, and Huzi and I may not be able to carry it.

I rode up to the two villagers who had just left and asked them to borrow their mobile phones, and one of them said, "We don't have a mobile phone signal either." ”

I said impatiently, "I'll pay." ”

Another villager said: "Look at what the boss said, our mobile phone is really out of signal, and his mobile phone may be out of charge, but mine has just reached 50 today, don't believe you to take a look." ”

As he spoke, the villager handed me his mobile phone, which indicated the same signal as mine.

"Whether there is a signal or not has nothing to do with the phone bill, it is estimated that it is repaired in the village, and the signal is choked."

"It hasn't rained for so many days, repair a hanging hair, the signal is fine in the morning, and it hasn't been repaired for four or five hours in the afternoon, and his father's face is repaired."

I suddenly became a little irritable, ignored the two villagers, and drove to the door of Huzi's house.

"Huzi, open the door!" I shouted at the door, but there was no sound from his house.

I leaned on the crack in the door and looked inside, and saw that there was no light in their hall at all.

It's night now, even if Li Fugui is not at home, Huzi's parents must be at home, I can't see Huzi's room from the crack in the door, it's not too dark, I don't know if there is a light in his room, so I knocked on the door a few times.

There was still no sound in the room.

I got in the car and drove directly to the town, and when I arrived at the coffin shop of Chen Coffin, I saw him sitting at the door smoking, Chen Coffin heard the movement and looked at me, and said with a straight face: "What time do you come, and you can't get through to the phone, so when the night road in the mountains is easy to go!" ”

I said: "Uncle Chen, you look at your phone, I don't know how there is no signal, I can't get through, I'm afraid that you will ride over when you are in a hurry, and I will prepare a bottle of good wine for you when I turn around. ”

Chen Coffin is a soft-eared person, his face softened when he heard me say this, and he pointed at me and said, "Even if you kid has a conscience, the coffin has been tied to the car, do you want to prepare some wreath paper money or something." ”

I said: "Don't pay attention to these, it's good to be able to enter the soil for safety, now people are still in the village production team, and I have to bother Uncle Chen to go over, I can't bring this motorcycle." ”

"Pull the dead!" Chen Coffin's eyes widened like cow eggs and yelled at me. "This is absolutely not good, the coffin is pulled by my own family, I will personally send it and carry the dead person to the car, do you want me to bury you?!"

I nodded and said, "If you're not tired, that's the case, or I'll be buried alone until the middle of the night." ”

"No, I won't do it even if I add five hundred!" Chen Coffin said angrily.

"Six hundred." I said, and directly counted the money and stuffed it into Chen's coffin.

Chen Coffin hesitated for a moment while holding the money, and said, "Okay, for the sake of the old lady, I will help you this time, you can't forget my bottle of wine." ”

"Hurry up and get in the car, you go first, I'll fill up the gas." I pushed the cart to town to fill up the motorcycle, and then caught up with Chen's car.

After arriving at the production team in Mingyue Village, Chen Coffin saw me pushing the door of the production team open, so he asked, "This production team belongs to your family, and you don't even lock the door at night?" ”

In the past, Liu Quan'er locked the door of the production team every night, because there were food and various things in several rooms of the production team, which together cost at least 10,000 yuan, but since last night, this gate has not been locked.

Maybe it's the reason why the investigation team died one after another, so Liu Quan got angry and didn't do it, after all, no one wants to get into trouble, Huzi and I have been coming to the production team for the past two days, and we have lived in it for a day during the period, and he may have left the door for us if he didn't lock the door.

The only strange thing is that I haven't seen Liu Quan appear at all in the past two days!
