Chapter 8: The Hole in the Coffin
Remember [Flag] in a second, popular free reading!
I curiously reached over and touched it, only to be surprised to find that the end of the cave was actually a wooden board, combined with the experience of the last time I came and the color on the board, I judged that this should not be an ordinary wooden board, but a coffin board!
And what shocked me even more was that on this coffin board, there was a hole the size of a bowl that led straight to the inside of the coffin!
Seeing the scene in front of me, my scalp immediately felt a little numb, and I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. I thought to myself, could the second uncle re-find the location of this coffin through the thief hole, and then make a hole in the coffin board, but why did he make a hole in it? Could it be that he put his hand in?? Looking at the dark hole in the coffin board in front of me, I couldn't help but feel terrified!
Coming back here, the discovery of Zhuo Chengyang's tablet here also haunted my heart again. Although I really want to know the secret of the tablet and this coffin, I dare not let me reach in and explore the situation inside! Like my grandfather's one-armed kung fu of exploring yin and yang, I don't dare to try it rashly at my current half-baked level.
But a strong curiosity welled up in my heart. After struggling for a while, I made up my mind, although I didn't dare to do it, but I had already arrived here, and if I didn't even dare to look at it, it would be a bit too much to say. So, I held up my flashlight and shone it into the black hole on the coffin.
When I arrived, I would remember what my grandfather had told me, and the time when my grandfather saw a pair of eyes through the cracks in the coffin, and this incident left a shadow on me. Every time I peek into the darkness through a small space, I feel a strong fear.
This time, I had the courage to look through the hole in the coffin. Under the light of the flashlight, I saw that the coffin was empty. I didn't see anything in it but wood chips and dust. Not only are there no corpses, but there are also no longevity pillows and deceased quilts. This makes me very strange! Could it be that there is an empty coffin here!
I came in a little closer, almost pressing my face against the hole in the coffin, and I looked inside the coffin again, and was relieved a little when I was sure I didn't see anything. Just as I was about to turn my head back, I suddenly saw a flashlight flashing inside the coffin.
I was immediately startled and quickly moved my face out of the coffin. I froze and thought back to what had just happened, but because the speed of the white light was so fast, I couldn't see what it was. However, judging from the direction of its flow, the white light should have reached the position below the hole.
This situation made me very uneasy, this was the blind spot of my vision, and if the white light was really something, it was hiding between it and my coffin board, but I couldn't see it unless I poked my head through the hole.
But this is impossible, not to mention that the hole is very small, my head can't get in at all, and even if my head can get in, I will never dare to do it! But I'm really unwilling to go out like this. After thinking about it for a while, I came up with an idea, I carefully turned the phone out of the photo mode, carefully poked the camera through the hole, and after aiming at the lower position, I pressed the shutter! My hand holding the shutter was shaking a little from nervousness.
As the flash flashed, I quickly withdrew my phone. Pick up your phone and open a photo you just took. But I only glanced at it, and the cold sweat on my forehead instantly flowed. I saw that the white thing in the photo was very close to the lens, and due to the severe hand trembling and the problem of light, the photo was very blurry. But some of the lines on the white thing still outlined some shapes, which seemed to be eyes and nose.
I felt my scalp start to tingle for a while, and the white thing in this photo looks like a human face!!
In such a confined and small environment, I encountered such a thing, and I wanted to scream for a while, but my mouth grew so big that it was as if something was blocking my throat, and I couldn't make a sound.
I felt that all the hairs on my body exploded, and the walls of the thieves around me began to squeeze towards me, especially the black hole of the coffin in front of me, which made me suddenly have a feeling of suffocation, I began to go crazy, my emotions became extremely unstable, and I was on the verge of collapse if I was not careful. I started to go crazy and started to retreat, because the hole was so narrow that I couldn't turn around at all, and I had to walk backwards with difficulty.
During this time, my mind went blank, and I just kept pushing the ground backwards with my hands. I don't know how long it took for me to feel the entrance of the cave begin to rise, and after a while, I felt my legs loosen and crawl backwards out of the cave.
Sitting on the floor of the cellar, I gasped for air. I hammered my chest as I watched with trepidation at the entrance to the black hole. Thinking of the scene just now, I am still very puzzled, why did the second uncle make a hole in the coffin?
Gradually, I calmed down. When I pulled out my phone again and looked at the unclear photo, there was no longer the initial shock, and I began to calmly observe the white mass. It does look like a human face, but the image is blurry and I'm not entirely sure.
I secretly complained that I was too flustered, because I was afraid of the darkness in the hole, and I had a psychological suggestion, and when I saw the scene in the photo, I couldn't help but feel a little out of control. Actually, I had time to take a little more photos and find out. I couldn't help but sigh, compared to my second uncle, my psychological quality is still too poor!
I looked at the dark entrance to the cave and wondered if I should go down again, but after a struggle of thoughts, I gave up on the idea.
I exited the cellar, opened the flap in the utility room on the ground, and walked out. At this time, the sun has set to the west, and the workers who are working on the ancestral house have begun to pack up their things and prepare for work.
Fortunately, no one noticed where I went, but the construction team leader saw that I was covered in mud and a little strange, so I casually responded, "I accidentally fell just now." He left the ancestral house in a hurry.
A few steps out of the gate of the ancestral house, my mobile phone suddenly rang, and I saw that it was a call from the Lantern Festival. As soon as I picked it up, Lantern Xiao's loud voice came out of the phone, "Damn! Why did you go to Lantern Festival!! Why can't I get through on the phone! I thought something had happened to you!! ”
"Alright, alright! Rest assured! I'm fine! I said, "I was underground, and I had no cell phone signal!" ”
"Underground?" Lantern Xiao asked strangely, "Where have you been?" ”
I looked around and replied softly, "It's the secret burial chamber under our ancestral home!" ”
"The catacombs?" Lantern Xiao asked in surprise, "Hasn't the tomb under your ancestral house been buried?" ”
"Excavated again!" I replied.
"By whom?"
"It should be my second uncle!"
"Your second uncle?" Lantern Xiao said in surprise: "Didn't your second uncle lose contact again?" Is he back? Are you sure? ”
"Yes, I'm sure, my second uncle has quietly returned."
Lantern Xiao "tsk" and said, "Your second uncle is amazing!" I'm telling you, there must be something good in there, otherwise your second uncle can't ......."
I knew that Lantern Festival was starting to pull on the side of the underworld again, and I was very bored now, so I hung up the phone.
Within a few seconds, Lantern Xiao called the phone back again, "Oops, why did you hang up the phone!" I haven't gotten down to business yet! ”
I said angrily, "Then you can quickly say, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense now!" ”
Lantern Xiao said: "I asked for Yuan An's phone number from my grandfather, but now that you know the whereabouts of your second uncle, is this phone number useless?" ”
I just wanted to nod yes, but my mind suddenly turned, and I said to Lantern Xiao: "It's not useless, so that Lantern Festival will call Yuan An in a while, and tell him about the Tan family and Mr. Hong that we found out here." The Yuan family's network over there was extremely large, and it was close to the Tan family, so he definitely knew what to do. ”
Lantern Xiao answered, and then asked, "What do you want to do next?" ”
I sighed, "I don't know why the second uncle avoided me and returned to the ancestral house, what kind of secret is hidden here, I really want to find out." ”
Lantern Xiao was silent for a moment and asked, "Then how do you want to figure it out?" ”
I gritted my teeth and said, "I want to go to the dungeon under the ancestral tomb of the Zhuo family again!" ”
Lantern Xiao was obviously stunned on the phone, "How can you do it yourself!" You forgot, we almost couldn't get out last time we both went in! ”
I was also a little hesitant when Lantern Xiao said this, but after thinking about it for a while, I said: "I don't think it's a big problem, I've been in it once before, and this time I'm familiar with the road." And I won't go deep into the dangerous area, my initial plan is just to make sure that my second uncle is not there! ”
Lantern Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Zhuo Ran, I still don't think it's appropriate, you wait for me to come and find you!" The two of them still have a care. ”
I wanted to agree, but remembering what Sisi had said to me, I said to Lantern Xiao: "It's okay, I can handle it myself, I don't know why this kind of rotten thing, I can't choose it clean!" I can't keep you dragging you down! Leave it alone this time, I'll call you if you need to! ”
"Fart!" Lantern Xiao scolded, "Who TM used you to drag you down, I didn't go to you just to help you, I mainly think that dungeon is a bit interesting, maybe there is something good." ”
