Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Twin Realms of Day and Night
Back in the dilapidated house, we looked at each other, but the atmosphere was deathly silent.
The wind outside the door kept blowing at the half-hidden door that was fastened in front of the fat man.
Zhang San and Li sat around the fire, clutching the talisman I gave them tightly.
Now I can't tell if they're confused or afraid.
At the same time, I don't feel the joy of the rest of my life after the catastrophe.
On the contrary, there is only the fear of the unknown, and the doubt about everything around us.
"Brother Li, did you say those people just now were human?" The fat man suddenly looked at me and asked.
We've had the answer to this question before.
But what happened later overturned our answer.
Huaiyi Village is full of weirdness, and every thing that happens is incomprehensible.
From the beginning to the present, I haven't even figured out what the connection is between what happened before and after.
And when there are hundreds of people in the village, why are they all missing during the day?
What happened to those coffins and corpses in Yizhuang?
Obviously, he had already judged that the villagers were ghosts.
And what happened to those villagers just now?
All the thoughts were intertwined and came into my mind, and my head ached.
Fighting through the migraine, I let out a long breath.
"Whew, maybe there's a secret in it that we don't know!"
"There are hundreds of people in Huaiyi Village, there is no reason why they are all gone during the day, even if they are hidden, there must be a place, right?"
Hearing my words, the fat man's face was very solemn.
It's like I have something I want to say, but I'm not sure what I think, so I didn't say it.
"Do you have anything to say?" I looked at the fat man and asked.
The fat man glanced around, and although he felt that his suspicions were outrageous, he still said solemnly.
"I just thought it was all weird, this place gave me two senses during the day and at night."
"As long as it is night, every place in this village will make me feel very strange!"
"I wonder if you feel that way?"
The fat man is right, not only him, but even I feel the same way.
At night, every place in Huaiyi Village is so unfamiliar, as if you have arrived in another place.
My eyes narrowed, and an idea was born in my mind.
"Could it be that Huaiyi Village is not a place at all, day and night?"
Hearing my bold guess, the expressions of the other three were clearly trying to refute.
The rebuttal words came to his lips, but he was held back.
After holding it for a long time, the fat man stood up.
"If Brother Li's guess is right, will we also choose the wrong time to dig the grave?"
When we heard this, our eyes lit up at the same time.
If Huaiyi Village is two places during the day and at night, then the cemetery should be the same.
As soon as this idea came out, the fat man immediately couldn't sit still.
"Inside that tomb during the day is a broken coffin, will it be covered with gold and silver treasures after night?"
As the fat man spoke, I vaguely saw that there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes.
Sure enough, as long as he has money, this kid is not afraid of anything.
Got off alive and fell into the eyes of money.
But it's not out of the question that he's talking about.
And the purpose of our coming to Huaiyi Village is not to hide in this dilapidated room.
They want a cemetery, I want answers to all my questions.
They looked at each other, and the fat man's eyes were fixed on me.
After seeing me move a little, the fat man rubbed and stood up.
"Brother Li, can you go and have a look?" The fat man said and walked to the door.
He walked to the door, and I had no excuse to refuse.
"If you want to unlock the answer to Huaiyi Village, you have to go and see it!" I whispered.
Before I could finish my words, the fat man pulled the door open.
The dark wind suddenly poured into the room.
Although they were still covered with goosebumps, the expressions of fear could no longer be seen on the faces of the fat people.
"Don't be too ostentatious, try not to let the villagers see us." I commanded.
The street was windy, and we quietly detoured to avoid contact with the villagers.
In a few moments, we arrived at the door of the village chief's house.
"Fatty, go knock on the door!" Before the fat man could stand firmly, he was pushed out by us.
With a helpless face, the fat man still tightened his shovel and walked to the gate with a curse in his mouth.
"Bang ......"
"Bang ......"
……
In the middle of the night, the rhythmic percussion sound is extremely eerie, and the scalp of the listener is hairy.
After two rounds of tapping, the fat man couldn't do it in his heart.
He quickly retreated to us and said, "No one, why don't you just go in and have a look?" ”
If you let him knock it down again, it is estimated that he will be able to scare himself enough.
No one is naturally the best, otherwise we wouldn't be able to explain what we were doing when the time came.
After making eye contact, we pushed open the door and slipped quietly into the courtyard.
Feeling the darkness, I came to the place where I was digging during the day.
There are still traces of the ground that we have excavated, but the smell in the air has changed.
It smells like metallic rust.
"Look, it's changed, it's changed!" The fat man whispered excitedly.
We hurriedly ran over and looked carefully in the direction of the fat man's fingers.
I could see what was below through the moonlight.
The coffin that we dug up before is no longer a sarcophagus now.
Rather, it is a bronze coffin carved with exquisite patterns.
In the pre-Qin period, this bronze coffin had to be at least a scholar to be used.
Could it be that there is really a drama?
"There seems to be a person lying in the coffin? Is it zongzi? The fat man said suddenly.
Having regained my senses, I took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a person lying in the coffin.
During the day, we had already pulled the coffin halfway out, and now we didn't want to jump into that pit anymore.
After looking at each other for a while, we pulled the remaining piece of the coffin out of the earth with the help of the rope of the day.
We hurried over.
When we saw the person in the coffin clearly, we were all dumbfounded.
"Isn't this the village chief?" The fat man asked suspiciously.
The person lying in the coffin was the village chief we had seen before.
At this time, the portrait held by the village chief has also become a gossip mirror.
"Why is the village chief's body here? Why are you still holding a gossip mirror in your hand? ”
The fat man was puzzled.
Looking at the weird gossip mirror, I was also full of doubts.
Now if you want to find the answer, you may have to look at what this gossip mirror is all about.
Thinking like this, I reached out and pulled the village chief's hand away, and then took out the gossip mirror.
But if you look closely at the front, you can't see anything, it's just an ordinary gossip mirror.
I flipped it over and took a look, and I saw three big characters written on the back.
