Chapter 41 [The Second Coffin, Strong Rat Smell]
When things go wrong, there must be oddities.
A doll lost during the night, found in a heavy coffin.
And when she saw her mother, the little face timidly said that she was afraid.
Who are you afraid of?
Certainly not the mother.
Otherwise, the little girl will not stretch out her little hand and make a gesture to ask her mother to hug.
This thing is very abnormal.
A small child should not disappear in the middle of the night and hide in a coffin.
But the woman didn't doubt it, she only thought that the child was naughty and hid in the coffin to play, she wiped her eyes and tears, and reached out to hug Niuniu, saying: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my mother won't scold you, hurry up and let my mother hug, don't dare to be so naughty in the future......"
Unexpectedly, the little girl's body shrank, and she subconsciously retracted her little hand, hid in the corner of the coffin, her little face turned white timidly, and said, "I don't want to go out, I'm hiding inside." ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Niuniu, what's wrong with you?" Why do you even hide from your mother? ”
Zhang Jingxu watched coldly from the sidelines, and saw that this little baby was not hiding from her mother at all, but because of something scared, which made her think that it was safest to hide in the coffin.
It's definitely not because I'm naughty, hiding in a coffin and playing.
But what is she hiding?
Looks like we need to be tested!
……
Zhang Jingxu finally spoke, and said with a gentle face: "Little Niuniu, don't be afraid, listen to your mother obediently and let her take you out." ”
As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, and the fairy mountain grass in his hand waved silently, and there was a faint warm current, shrouded in the coffin.
I don't know if it's because of the warm current of the grass, or because Zhang Jingxu's tone is gentle enough, I saw that the Niu Niu in the coffin seemed to be danced, and the timidity on her little face was rapidly receding.
Finally, the little doll stretched out its little hand again.
"Hug!"
She finally looked like a normal child, praying for an adult to hug her.
But what puzzled everyone present was that Niuniu did not reach out to her mother to hug her, but instead stretched out her little hand to Zhang Jingxu, with obvious longing on her face.
"Let me hug?"
Zhang Jing's heart moved.
Although he felt a little confused, he did not hesitate, quickly stretched out and bent down, and gently carried the child out of the coffin.
After hugging it out, Xiao Niuniu suddenly smiled sweetly, and the last trace of timidity on her face seemed to disappear in an instant.
Zhang Jingxu could clearly feel that this child thought she was safe at this moment.
The woman found the child, obviously breathed a sigh of relief, felt quite embarrassed on the side, and said in a restrained tone: "I'm really sorry, it turns out that Niuniu didn't lose it, this child is so naughty that he actually hid in the coffin to play." ”
Zhang Jingxu laughed and deliberately agreed: "It's okay, just get it back, children are naughty by nature, don't scold her." ”
The woman nodded hurriedly and said, "If you don't scold, don't scold, the women will definitely not scold." ”
Zhang Jingxu laughed again, but his eyes were imperceptible and looked at the coffin again.
……
This coffin is so heavy, the coffin lid alone costs hundreds of catties, when it was opened just now, the officials were panting, and the powerful men still wanted three or four people to join forces, how did Xiao Niuniu lift the coffin lid and go in alone?
But although he was vigilant in his heart, his face was not abnormal.
Instead, he deliberately reprimanded Sun San, pretending to be angry and said, "You stinky boy just said that there is a strange human smell in the coffin. This is a strange human taste, and it is clearly a cute little baby. ”
While speaking, he handed Niuniu to the woman, but this time Niuniu didn't dodge anymore, and obediently let her mother take it and hold it.
After the woman picked up the child, she ran out of the house happily and said, "Lord Catcher, Brother Servant, you have worked hard today, and the women will go and make some tea for you to drink." ”
Zhang Jingxu laughed again and said, "I feel thirsty and want to moisten my throat." But tea is free, just boil some boiled water. ”
Turning his head to look at Li San, he lowered his voice and said, "Can you be sure that Xiao Niuniu has a human smell." ”
Li San hesitated for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said, "It's human, it's not wrong, it's just that it's very strange......"
The kid hesitated again as he spoke, scratched his head and said, "This strange smell is like damp water vapor, I have a sensitive nose since I was a child, and I can smell any smell." ”
"But Uncle Zhang, the smell on this kid doesn't seem to be threatening. Not only is it not threatening, but it is very peaceful. ”
"And she gave me a feeling that I wanted to be close to her. It seems that because of that special moisture, my body can be very comfortable. ”
Zhang Jingxu nodded slowly and said in a low voice: "When I held her just now, my body also felt very comfortable, and my mind was calm, and there was an inexplicable peace. ”
At this time, Li San slapped his head and said, "I remembered, I remembered, it was Yun Niang, it was the smell of Yun Niang." The smell of water vapor on this girl's body gives me exactly the same feeling as Yun Niang......"
"But Uncle Zhang, this can't be!"
"Yun Niang is a spirit demon, Xiao Niu Niu is obviously a human, why do the two of them have the same spirit demon smell on their bodies?"
Li San was obviously confused.
Zhang Jingxu's eyes burned, he exhaled lightly in his mouth, and said slowly: "There are too many strange things in this world, we can't know everything, but now one thing is certain, Xiao Niuniu should not be weird or something." ”
He paused slightly, looked at Li San meaningfully, and said slowly: "It's just that this matter can't be over." ”
"In addition to the coffin where the little girl is hiding, another coffin also makes you smell people, and you also say that the smell is also strange......"
Li San hurriedly said: "Yes, Uncle Zhang, the other coffin also has a human smell." ”
Zhang Jingxu's face couldn't see anything abnormal, but a faint gleam flashed in his eyes.
"The two coffins have a human smell, and after one mouth is opened, the lost Niu Niu is found. And what about the other coffin? I'd love to know who's inside......"
"The main thing is, what is the smell of strange people you smell."
Zhang Jingxu exhaled slowly, and once again held the grass and stones of the fairy mountain in his hands.
Whether it's good or bad, open it up and take a look!
Li San next to him observed his words and immediately understood what Zhang Jingxu meant.
The kid turned his head to look at the officials, and said in a low voice, "Brothers, the matter is not over yet. A few other coffins, I'm afraid I have to open them to see ......"
At this time, the officials also noticed the abnormality, and nodded one after another: "Yes, yes, you should see, the situation of this family is really strange." ”
……
At that moment, everyone left the main house and went straight to the side room, where they were still the powerful officials just now, and they once again worked together to lift the coffin lid.
"Give me ......"
With the sound of breaking and drinking, the green tendons on the foreheads of the officials burst out, but this time there was a strange situation, and seven or eight men couldn't lift the coffin lid.
"Could it be crucified?"
One of the officials gasped and looked down to check.
The other officials were also out of breath and said, "It must be nailed, otherwise why can't you lift it?" This coffin is not ash, so it can't be heavier than the one just now......"
The coffin in the main house just now was a full of ash, and a coffin lid alone weighed hundreds of catties, but these men could still open the lid of the coffin with their hands.
Now this coffin is obviously not made of good materials, and the weight is definitely not as good as the one just now, but the same seven or eight men did it, but the coffin lid did not move at all.
If it weren't for the nails, how could it be so immovable.
However, when the officials were fine, everyone's faces faintly turned pale, almost subconsciously, and everyone felt hairy in their hearts.
One of the officials swallowed and spat out of panic, looked at Zhang Jingxu, and his tone was obviously trembling: "Zhang... Zhang Zhutou, there is... It's weird, this... The lid of this coffin, it was not nailed at all. ”
It was not nailed, but it could not be opened.
The expression of almost every official was pale and trembling.
Only Li San broke off and shouted, and suddenly this kid jumped to the coffin and said sharply: "With Uncle Zhang protecting everyone, are we afraid of it?" Brothers, use their strength again, and I have to open this coffin today......"
Zhang Jingxu slowly spoke on the side, and said meaningfully: "If you can't open it, then smash it." Ben has a bad temper, and I'm angry now. ”
This seems like an inexplicable threat, and it seems that the temper of the official is really bad.
Strange to say, however, things really went wrong.
When Zhang Jing faintly threatened, the officials moved to lift the coffin lid again, and this time everyone's faces changed again, and they lifted it easily.
The coffin lid that didn't move just now.
This time it suddenly became lighter......
……
And when the coffin was opened, the officials subconsciously retreated, although they retreated one after another, but their eyes looked into the coffin.
The next moment, there was a 'huh' from everyone's mouth.
I saw that in the coffin, there was no danger, but an old man, lying very quietly inside.
It's just that although the old man was lying quietly, his face was full of pain, and everyone looked at his thighs and calves, and found that they were covered with blood and a hole full of bites.
Li San twitched his nose suddenly, then hurriedly approached Zhang Jingxu's side, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Zhang, I can smell it, in this coffin, there is a very strong smell of rats. ”
