Chapter 40: Opening the Coffin
I thought that handing over the diary to a middle-aged man would be able to fulfill the last wish of the youth, and this matter would be completely over.
But the inadvertent negligence made the matter even more difficult, so that in the end, several lives were taken.
But that's a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
After leaving the community where the young father's residence lived, Li Hai and I did not delay, and took a taxi directly to the hat brim alley.
Rao is now in the blue sky and white day, but standing in front of the alley, I can still feel a chill hit my whole body.
After looking at it for a while, I turned my head and glanced at Li Hai, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Li, this alley is very evil, don't go in with me this time, anyway, Qin Wenhua's half-room residence is only a few dozen meters away from the mouth of the alley, I can go alone, you wait at the mouth of the alley, and when I finish my errands, I will come out to find you, and then let's go home and pack our luggage and go to my hometown." ”
Although he was frightened the night before yesterday and claimed that he would never come to the hat brim alley again, but now that he saw that I was going to enter Longtan alone, he became angry.
I saw that Li Hai's face sank, and he said categorically: "No, the surname Qin is difficult to distinguish between people and ghosts now, who knows if he has the idea of beating the shroud, didn't you say that the shroud is your life now, what if the shroud is robbed by him, I will still go to the insurance point with you." ”
Li Hai's words are not unreasonable, I went to Qin Wenhua this time to bring the shroud, Chen Xiangming had said that Qin Wenhua's purpose was to get this shroud, with his skills, if he really wanted to snatch me, I couldn't keep it at all, if Li Hai was on the side to help, the chances of winning would be greater.
After pondering for a while, I finally nodded and agreed, and told Li Hai to be careful, after all, Qin Wenhua is very evil, and he must not fall into his trap.
After making up our minds, Li Hai and I had the courage to enter the hat brim alley, and walked for a short time to the front of the half-house.
When I came the night before, it was dark, and I couldn't see the top of the courtyard gate very clearly, but I took the opportunity to observe it again when the light was bright today, and it was indeed like a black coffin on the eaves of the top of the half-room, and there were some ghostly things drawn on it with a red pen.
"Chen Mo, did you say that the surname Qin is at home, could he go out to drive at this time?" Li Hai asked while standing in front of the courtyard gate and looking around.
The taxi industry is generally divided into day shift and night shift, if Qin Wenhua is on the night shift today, it is okay, and he must rest at home during the day, but if he wants to work day shift, it will be troublesome, is it possible that we have to wait until the evening to come again?
I can afford to wait, but my parents who are far away in my hometown can't afford to wait, and now they have been targeted by the old woman in red, what if that old woman suddenly makes a move, I will regret it too late.
Thinking of this, I looked at Li Hai and said in a deep voice: "Let's go first and see the situation, he didn't close the door when he came the night before yesterday, maybe it won't be closed this time, if you go in for a while, look for Qin Wenhua first, if you're not there, come out and ask the neighbors nearby, see if anyone knows his contact information, no matter what, I have to go back to my hometown today." ”
After speaking, I walked to the gate of the courtyard and stretched out my hand to push towards the wooden door, only to hear the creak of the wooden door opening, but I didn't expect Qin Wenhua to really lock the door.
Delighted, I looked towards the courtyard, which was silent, except for the rustle of leaves in the wind, and there was no sound in the hall, and there was not a single figure in sight.
"Is Uncle Qin at home! I came to see you the night before! "When I entered the courtyard, I stood in front of the main house and shouted through the doors and windows.
The voice shouted like a stone sinking into the sea, and the room was silent, and there was no response, and I shouted again when I saw this, but still no one answered.
Seeing that there was no one in the house, I just wanted to withdraw from the courtyard and go to a nearby neighbor's house to ask Qin Wenhua's contact information, but before I could take a step, Li Hai suddenly stopped me.
He glanced in the direction of Qin Wenhua's bedroom, and said in a low voice, "Last time, we didn't open that coffin, so you don't want to see what is inside?" Didn't Chen Xiangming say that Qin Wenhua is a ghost, take this opportunity to open the coffin and find out, maybe we can know whether Qin Wenhua is a human or a ghost! ”
Although Li Hai's proposal is very dangerous, it is necessary.
It is impossible for a good living person to live in a coffin, if we can figure out what is inside the coffin, maybe we will be able to know Qin Wenhua's true identity.
At that time, I don't have to be suspicious anymore, if he is okay, I can rest assured that he can help, if he really has a problem, I can also withdraw in time, so as not to be fooled into the trap by him.
After making up my mind, I looked at Li Hai and said with a smile: "Okay, Lao Li, now this is getting bolder and bigger, and he dares to pry other people's coffins, so you are not afraid of what ...... is in this coffin."
Before I finished speaking, Li Haihai stepped forward and directly covered my mouth, and said angrily: "Don't talk too much, I finally made up my mind to open the coffin to find out, if you scare me again, maybe I will change my mind!" ”
At this time, Li Hai's face was pale, and his expression was a little flustered, probably frightened by my words.
Seeing that he began to sway, I hurriedly smiled and said: "I was wrong, when I didn't say this, now while Qin Wenhua hasn't come back, let's quickly open the coffin and take a look, the action must be fast!" ”
After turning around and closing the courtyard door, Li Hai and I walked quickly to the door of the house, the door was unlocked, and the door opened with a light push.
The living room was dimly lit, with curtains drawn on the doors and windows all around.
Li Hai stood in the middle of the room and glanced around, and muttered: "Chen Mo, it is said in the movie that ghosts can't see the light, do you think this surnamed Qin is really a ghost, otherwise what would he do with the curtains in broad daylight?" ”
The speaker has no intention of listening, although Li Hai is just an unintentional sentence, but after listening to it, I was shocked.
I met Qin Wenhua three times, and two other than the night before were in his taxi in the middle of the night.
These three times were all at night, all when there was no sun, could it be that Qin Wenhua was really a ghost, so I could only see him at night!
Just when I was a little nervous in my heart, a gurgling sound came from the direction of the bedroom, and we had heard this sound when we came the day before yesterday, and the sound came from the black coffin in the bedroom!
Although Qin Wenhua is not at home at the moment, he may be back soon, and we must race against time to open the black coffin to find out, thinking of this, I immediately walked quickly towards the bedroom, and Li Hai followed.
Lifting the curtain, we went to the bedroom, where the black coffin was still on the side of the wooden bed, the lid of the coffin was pressed against the coffin, and there was no other vision in the room except for the sound of grunts.
"Lao Li, I don't know what is inside this coffin yet, you must be cautious, if you find something wrong, run away!" I looked at Li Hai and whispered.
After seeing Li Hai nodding in agreement, we each walked to the side of the black coffin, and then placed our hands on the lid of the coffin.
With the countdown sound in my mouth, Li Hai and I pushed forward together, although the lid of the black coffin was extremely heavy, Li Hai and I were two young and strong guys after all, and it only took more than ten seconds to push the lid of the black coffin halfway open.
Before the lid of the coffin could be opened, a blue-gray smoke rose from it, followed by a strong fishy smell.
The smell was unusually pungent, like the smell of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, which made people feel a little upset after smelling it, and their eyes couldn't stop crying.
"What the is in this coffin, why does it stink so badly, it smells worse than the smell of a public toilet!"
Li Hai said as he stretched out his hand to disperse the blue-gray mist in front of him, and after seeing that my vision was clear, I looked into the coffin, and suddenly my heart was shocked, it was filled with blue-black liquid!
These liquids are similar to the color of sewers that are not cleaned for many years, and the color is not only disgusting, but also pungent and pungent.
At this time, the liquid in the coffin bubbled like boiling water, and when the bubbles broke, the smell became even stronger, and I even felt a churn in my stomach, and even vomited out the overnight things.
"What kind of reputation is this surnamed Qin, he dares to get into such stinky water, and besides, it's all dirty water, if he lives in this coffin, he won't be drowned in water." Li Hai covered his nose and asked.
"Don't say it, anyway, we now know what is in the coffin, and there is no need to continue to delay time, in case Qin Wenhua finds out, it will be troublesome, have you forgotten the way he looked at us last time?" I looked at Li Hai and reminded.
The day before yesterday, when we opened the coffin, we happened to meet Li Hai coming back, and I still remember his cruel and vicious eyes at that time.
He was so angry before we opened the coffin, and if he had known that we had opened the coffin secretly, he wouldn't have killed us both.
I was about to close the coffin and withdraw from the house, when Li Hai glanced outside the courtyard and said in a low voice: "I see that the surname Qin can't come back for a while, now that the coffin has been opened, simply probe to the end to see what is in this dirty water, if there is only dirty water, what is going on with this bubble, it is impossible for nothing to come out, right?" ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but admire Li Hai's courage, he was scared to death before, but now he wants to reach out to fish for the things in the dirty water, this is really a heifer riding a rocket, and he is going to the sky!
"Lao Li, this is not a joke, what if there is something unclean in this dirty water, won't we be in trouble then!" I looked at Li Hai and said.
"Don't you want to find out whether Qin Wenhua is a human or a ghost, if there are really unclean things in this dirty water, then you can conclude that Qin Wenhua is a ghost, and then we won't have any more dealings with him, in case we are together, it will be troublesome, and don't you have your yellow paper triangle in your hand, if there are really unclean things that can resist for a while, what do you say?" Li Hai said earnestly.
Although Li Hai said some truth, I think it's better not to take risks, if something really goes wrong, it may not only be trouble, maybe the lives of both of us will be broken here.
Just as I was about to continue persuading Li Hai, his hand had already reached for the dirty water in the coffin, and it was too late for me to stop it.
Just when Li Hai's hand was about to touch the dirty water, suddenly a palm stretched out from the coffin without warning and grabbed Li Hai's wrist directly!
