【Short Story】Seven Coffins (I)

There are many unexplained things in the world, some people are afraid of them, and some people explore them. But only those who are in the middle of it will understand that this is nothing more than the past killing the future.

(Chapter 1: Three Coffins)

The night was as deep as ever, hiding everything in darkness.

In a small village outside the ancient city, the lights of a house were still on, and whimpering cries could be heard from time to time in the house. It turned out that the family was holding a funeral, and I don't know who died, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

And the strange thing is that there are three coffins in the house, and what is placed in the coffin is not a human corpse, but the clothes worn by children, and three sets of children's clothes in three coffins. "Woooo

(Chapter 2: Banhua Disappears)

In Shushan High School, in a class in the third year of high school, a teenager has no nervousness in the third year of high school, and his face is relaxed and casual, as if he is in elementary school.

"Ding Zhen, it's not good, something is wrong!" a chubby student rushed into the classroom in a panic and shouted at Ding Zhen.

Ding Zhen looked surprised, and asked him, "What's the matter? Didn't you help you settle it the day before yesterday?"

Ding Zhen thought he was talking about being surrounded and blackmailing him a few days ago. But then the fat returnee's words really startled him, "It's not this, Banban Hua Sili next door is missing!"

"Huh?" Ding Zhen was surprised, "Missing?"

Si Li is a very hard-working student in her class and never misses class, but Ding Zhen learned from the fat returnee that she has not appeared at school for two days today.

Ding Zhen was very worried, because he had pursued Si Li, but she rejected it under the pretext of studying, but in Ding Zhen's heart, she was still the object she liked. Now, there is a problem with her safety, so how can Ding Zhen not worry.

(Chapter 3 Her Parents)

The returnee's next words made Ding Zhen even more puzzled, the returnee said that Si Li's homeroom teacher made several calls to inform her parents to come and visit, but her parents actually said no, and they didn't feel strange about her disappearance at all, as if they had known it for a long time, which made her homeroom teacher confused, and wondered if her parents forced her to drop out of school, deliberately took her away, and locked her up.

(Chapter 4: Zuo Qiong)

"Is there such a thing?" Ding Zhen then asked, "Then does Zuo Qiong know?"

The returnee's face was full of disdain: "Why are you always interested in that tigress?"

Ding Zhen was a little unhappy, but he didn't have a seizure, after all, the returnee was just an ordinary person, and he and Zuo Qiong were that kind of freaks.

Ding Zhen continued to ask, "Does she know?"

The returnee replied impatiently: "Who doesn't know about this except for you, a weirdo?"

"Then where is she?" Ding Zhen asked regardless of his feelings.

"--Zuo Qiong is a good friend of Si Li, where do you think she will be?" After the returnee said this, he pretended to read the book and ignored Ding Zhen. When he looked up at Ding Zhen again, he found that Ding Zhen, who was still asking questions just now, had long since disappeared.

"I really don't know if it's a human or a ghost, and it disappears so suddenly every time. The returnee muttered and complained.

(Chapter 5: The Mysterious Girl)

A few hours later, Ding Zhen got off the bus and came to the deserted village outside the ancient city, which was Si Li's hometown.

Ding Zhen rarely comes here, it is too backward, but the more backward the area, the more ancient legends there are.

He didn't go straight to Sili's house, but first went to a large chimney, which was found in many places, but was basically demolished, and this one was preserved.

Ding Zhen raised his hand on the dusty wooden door and knocked a few times, but the door did not move. It was as if there was a dead silence inside. Ding Zhen had no choice but to see that there were no outsiders around, so he recited an ancient spell that seemed to come from a distant Manggu to the door, "Bang!" As soon as the spell was finished, the door opened violently as if it had been knocked open by an ancient beast.

"Who?"

There was a creepy laugh from the darkness of the room, like a few demons drinking blood.

"It's me, long time no see, no flowers. Ding Zhen was not afraid at all, as if he was very familiar, and said.

"Oh, it's you, what's the matter?" The creature hidden in the darkness finally came out, hunched around her waist, like an old woman of seventy or eighty years old, but the moment she raised her face, anyone would be surprised - it was a young and peugeot girl.

"Has something strange happened here recently?" Ding Zhen asked straight to the point, and disappeared without a trace as he had been a fool in the school.

"Are you here for this? I advise you to leave it alone. ”

(Chapter 6: The Coffin of the Descendants)

Hua Wu made a hoarse voice and introduced to Ding Zhen: "Four days ago, the descendants of the Si family began to disappear, one every day, and on the second day of each person's disappearance, there will be an extra coffin in the family, and that coffin contains the clothes of the missing person!" Hua Wu said gloomily.

"How many coffins have appeared?" Ding Zhen finally asked.

"Four. Hua Wuyin continued, "The fourth coffin appeared this morning. As soon as she finished speaking, she was gone.

(Chapter 7: The Bone Coffin)

Ding Zhen then came to the door of Si Li's house. One of the few families in the deserted village. Before he could enter the door, he heard a cry from the inner hall.

"Ding Zhen, you're here too. A familiar voice sounded from behind him.

"Zuo Qiong. Ding Zhen turned his head sharply and looked at Zuo Qiong, who was looking sad. "What did you find?" Ding Zhen hurriedly asked.

"There are ghosts!" Zuo Qiong left a sentence and left.

Inside the house, there are four coffins. The most bizarre thing is that the coffin turned out to be a bleak white, like polished bones. When Ding Zhen was stunned, everyone in the room looked at him.

The only old man here got up from the wooden chair and walked over to Ding Zhen, glared at him very unfriendly, barely suppressed his anger, and asked, "Who are you?"

Ding Zhen hurriedly introduced his identity and intention.

The old man immediately relaxed his vigilance, sighed and said, "You'd better not meddle in this matter, otherwise I won't be responsible for an accident." The old man's tone was cold, without the slightest emotion, which embarrassed Ding Zhen. I was kind enough to help and care about Si Li, but I was poured cold water and didn't even say thank you.

He had no choice but to leave in a huff, and when he was leaving, he glanced at the white coffin, and then glanced at Zuo Qiong on the side.

(Chapter 8: Reincarnation of the Dead)

After waiting for a long time in the grove not far from Si Li's house, Ding Zhen finally saw Zuo Qiong come out, and he hurriedly beckoned to her.

Zuo Qiong came over, her eyes were red, and tears were faintly visible in the corners of her eyes.

"What's wrong?" As soon as she came up, Zuo Qiong asked very dissatisfied.

"You should have found out that the coffin was made of white bones, right?" Ding Zhen asked tentatively.

"That's right, it's indeed made of bones, but it's human bones!" Zuo Qiong's later sentence made Ding Zhen really surprised.

"Human bones?" Ding Zhen's eyes couldn't help but widen, and then he fell into deep thought. After a long time, he spoke: "Then it's not as simple as asking for your life."

Without waiting for Zuo Qiong to react, Ding Zhen added: "It is very likely that the evil ghost is seeking reincarnation. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Qiong was slightly stunned at first, and then as if she had thought of something, she said, "No wonder Si Li's body can't be found?"

Thinking of this, Zuo Qiong suddenly felt that her good friend was not dead, and she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart. Just as he was about to ask Ding Zhen what to do, an exclamation came from Si Li's house behind him: "Ah Qing!" --- Si Li's cousin also disappeared.

(Chapter 9: The Only Old Man)

The two hurried towards Si Li's house, but it was still too late. The people have long since disappeared completely, and they can only watch, at a loss.

The house was already in chaos, some of Si Li's family began to cry, and some knelt on the ground, kneeling frantically in front of the coffins, praying that such a disaster would not happen, only one person remained calm all the time, and this person quickly attracted the attention of Zuo Qiong and Ding Zhen.

"Who is he?" Ding Zhen didn't know much about the Si Li family, and asked Zuo Qiong in a low voice.

"Si Li's uncle, Si Hao. Zuo Qiong replied softly, her mouth moving very little, as if she sensed that Si Hao was also observing them.

"What about the old man who drove me out just now?" Ding Zhen also noticed Si Hao's gaze that seemed to be able to penetrate everything at this time, and asked in a very small voice.

"Si Li's grandfather, Si Sen. Zuo Qiong's words surprised Ding Zhen.

"Her grandfather, he is the only old man here, what about the other elders?" Although Ding Zhen was forced to calm down, he still couldn't hide his surprise in his tone.

"I know what you're thinking--- her grandparents' generation never showed up!"

(Chapter 10: Evaporation)

"Amin!" a middle-aged woman shouted, at the little boy in front of her. Immediately they all looked to it.

The little boy called Ah Ming's eyes were dim, dull, and hollow, and he was motionless, as if he had been frozen by some force, and his body gradually became transparent, and began to emit a steady stream of white smoke, which surged to the roof, and then suddenly disappeared, while the little boy below became more and more transparent with the white smoke, until it was as transparent as a layer of plastic wrap, and then disappeared.

(Chapter 11: Increase)

Looking at this jaw-dropping scene, everyone in the room seemed to be familiar with it. Only the middle-aged woman, who had lost two children in a row, cried even louder.

"What is this?" Ding Zhen felt that all this was too unbelievable, the evaporation just now out of thin air was not so strange to him, but there were other things in the house
