Chapter 35: The Black Coffin That Moves
Although I didn't see many people in the village, most of them were kind and simple villagers.
Except for the old lady and the coffin shop owner who seem to be bad people, I really can't see anything else, who will it be?
I whispered to Lao Liu Zheng that the old lady carefully put the freshly dug up paper coffin into the sack.
I don't know why.
Suddenly, the old lady turned her head sharply and looked at the position of me and Lao Liu.
This cold look scared me and almost screamed, but fortunately, when the old lady found out that there was someone, she did not come to entangle, but carried the sack and went down the path.
I was just about to get up and keep up, Lao Liu waved his hand and said:
"Don't follow, she just doesn't keep digging"
I asked Lao Liu in surprise:
"You just said that there is someone else who delivered the coffin, do you know who it is?"
Lao Liu let out a sneer and said:
"Ahem, I don't know, but these tomb paper coffins are extremely heavy, I estimate that they have been buried for more than ten years, one buries the coffin, one digs the coffin, and one sends the coffin, this village is really not simple"
Lao Liu's words made me even more confused.
The paper coffin was buried ten years ago, so this person must be quite old now.
Chief? Coffin shop owner? And that mysterious white-haired old man?
Who could it be?
Lao Liu looked at me and said in a low voice:
"There's no need to guess now, I still have something to do during the day, just keep an eye on the coffin shop owner"
I said yes and went down the mountain with Lao Liu.
After dawn, people went to the village chief's house one after another to look for Lao Liu.
In one night, seven or eight more paper coffins were found in the village.
I was instructed by Lao Liu to go to the coffin shop and stare at the shopkeeper.
The door of his store was open, and the owner was nowhere to be seen in the yard and hall, and I was puzzled.
The shopkeeper came out of the bedroom, saw him come to the goods hall, and first cleaned up the items in the storeroom.
Then he bowed respectfully to the corner.
I couldn't help but be shocked!
Although I hid outside the courtyard and couldn't see the corner of the house, the last time I came with Lao Liu, I can clearly remember that there was a strange black coffin standing in the corner of the freight hall.
That's right, the owner of this shop must be bowing to this black coffin!
The coffin is nothing more than a few wooden boards, why does the shopkeeper worship it?
By the way, the last time I was leaving, I seemed to see this black coffin and moved!
There's something in there!!
I gasped, the coffin was hiding a living thing, and it was scary enough to think about it.
After worshipping the black coffin, the shopkeeper locked the door of the shop, and rode away on a big motorcycle.
When I saw the boss walking away, I quickly dodged out, ready to climb over the wall and enter the compound.
I was concentrating on choosing a location to climb over the wall, when someone suddenly shouted from behind me, and my hairs stood on end.
"Hey, what are you hanging around in front of the coffin shop in broad daylight?"
I looked back and saw that it was actually Aunt Li's front household, the fat woman of the Guan family with glazed tiles.
The last time I went to Guan Jun, this woman's attitude was very bad, and now seeing her again at this juncture adds a little annoyance.
"It's nothing, just come here, eldest sister, what are you doing with a sack?"
The fat woman looked at me and said angrily:
"I'll go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, don't wander around if you have nothing to do from outside the village, follow a thief."
Her inexplicable sentence really made me angry!
Like a thief?
Have you ever seen a thief stealing a coffin shop?
I scolded in my heart, and I was about to open my mouth to scold her.
The fat woman walked past me and deliberately bumped me, pushing me out of the way.
Turning around and twisting his ass, he gave me a blank look and left.
This morning, I was angry for no reason.
Bai Fan is right, there are really some people in their village who reject outsiders!
But thinking that this would not be the time to be angry with her, I saw the fat woman walking away, I didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly jumped over the wall into the compound.
After Uncle Zhang died, there were still three coffins left in the courtyard of this coffin shop.
In just a few days, two coffins were sold, and the shopkeeper who earned the money probably couldn't smile from ear to ear.
The door to the freight hall was locked, and I had to force it open if I wanted to enter, and when I glanced to the side, I saw that the bedroom window was the best entrance.
Although the wooden window was closed tightly and pinned with iron sheets, it was still very easy to destroy, and I pushed it open with a little push and jumped in.
The owner's bedroom was very neat, with a single bed, a square table, and a pair of scissors on the table and a cut paper figure next to it.
I thought of the scene of the last time Erliu Doufa, which was to use the paper man's changing back and forth attacks, and simply put it in my pocket.
Walking out of the bedroom is the goods hall, which is full of wreaths and shrouds, paper money soul flags, although it is broad daylight, I can't help but feel gloomy, and the back of my neck is chilled.
The black coffin that the shopkeeper bowed and worshipped stood peacefully in the corner.
Obviously, this big coffin is different from the courtyard, it must not be for sale.
The coffins that are not sold in the coffin shop aroused my curiosity even more.
What's inside??
The coffin is placed upright, and the lid is well opened.
I gritted my teeth and slowly approached it, wanting to open it up and take a look.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he suddenly heard a "rumbling" motorcycle sound in the distance.
I was shocked that the shopkeeper was back!
Thinking of this, I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I quickly jumped out of the room through the window, turned over and ran away from the side wall.
On the way back, I kept wondering in my heart, how could the owner of this shop come back so quickly after only seven or eight minutes of going out?
At the entrance of the village, I saw a few villagers running forward in a panic, and I stopped a man and asked:
"Big brother, what's the matter, why are you so panicked?"
The eldest brother looked very anxious, sighed and said:
"Oops, dead again"
After saying that, he followed the crowd and ran east.
I was stunned when I heard this, and hurried to follow the group.
I am more familiar with the family that had the accident, and it is the one I came to visit, the second Guan family!
The person who died unexpectedly also happened to be a man who was carrying a pesticide pot to work in the field at that time.
There were many villagers in the courtyard of the house, and everyone was talking about it.
Similarly, a paper coffin was found in the firewood pile of his house!
I saw that Lao Liu was also present, so I leaned over and asked him:
"Lao Liu, what's going on, why are you dead again?"
Lao Liu sighed.
"This paper coffin has been hidden behind the stack of wood for a long time, and it was only discovered when it died"
The village chief came to the courtyard and clapped his hands and called the villagers to gather.
"Don't surround here if it's okay, everyone hurry home, go through whatever is hidden, and look for this paper coffin"
When everyone heard this, they quickly scattered home and turned over the paper coffin.
I remembered that Bai Fan's parents lived in Tangwa Village, so I quickly sent him a text message and asked his parents to look for him, and Bai Fan replied to me that his parents were visiting relatives in other places and were not in the village.
When I went out of the yard with Lao Liu, I told him everything about sneaking into the coffin shop.
Lao Liu didn't seem to have much fluctuation, but he was interested when he heard the black coffin.
"Are you sure you saw the coffin move?"
Lao Liu asked so seriously, I was a little confused.
"It's moved, it looks like it's moved."
Lao Liu turned his face and said in a cold voice:
"Don't look like it, this black coffin itself is nothing special, but it makes a big difference whether it moves or not"
I didn't take pictures or videos, but I just thought about it, and the more I thought about it, the more blurry it became.
suddenly remembered the paper figure that was taken away on the coffin shop owner's table, and quickly took it out to show Lao Liu.
Lao Liu took the paper figure and looked at it for a long time, and his expression finally changed.
"I see, it seems that you are right, the coffin did move"
I didn't know why Lao Liu was so sure.
Lao Liu sold it again.
"You keep staring at him"
As soon as Lao Liu said it with such certainty, my curiosity became even stronger, and I decided that there was something in the coffin, what was it?
It seemed that it would be delayed for a few more days, so after thinking about it, I was quite reluctant to call Lao Wu to ask for leave.
I told Lao Wu that I was going to be the best man and ask for leave, but Lao Wu didn't say a word, and hung up the phone after laughing three times.
In fact, I don't care if he believes it or not, I have the secret of Guan Jun in my hands, and I can go back and give him a fatal blow at any time!
The next day, I went to the coffin shop owner's house to keep guard.
The strange thing is that this guy seems to have a very regular life, it is still yesterday's time, and after cleaning the goods hall, he bowed to the black coffin.
Then get on your motorcycle and drive away.
This time, I kept an eye on it, and didn't go over immediately, and when I saw that there was really no one around, I quickly climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.
Someone died yesterday, and there was no difference in the yard except for one less coffin, but I just felt that something was not right.
I was just about to jump in through the window again, when I suddenly heard a loud shout outside the courtyard:
"Why are you thief stealing again!"
I looked back, and I actually met the fat woman of the glazed tile family yesterday, this person is a big deal for me!
The house was no longer in, so I turned and walked towards the gate of the courtyard, and I tripped over a brick without paying attention.
"Bang", I fell the side of the coffin.
I was holding the coffin and trying to stand up, but suddenly I found that there were two small paper figures on the heads of the two remaining coffins!!
What shocked me even more was that there were two names written on these two paper figures:
Li Yao, Liu celebrated.
