Chapter 242: The Stone Coffin
"It just so happens that the grain harvest at that time was not good, even if it was a good year, it was a good field and could not harvest much grain, how can you say this person can grow meat? At that time, our Liu family was quite good, although most people couldn't eat enough, but they didn't starve to death, or fall to the cruel point of cannibalism. ”
My pupils dilated, and there seemed to be one hungry and skinny person after another in front of me.
"There was a story about a family with a father who lived with a little boy and an older girl. Don't ask where your mother went, because they're starving. One day, when there was still no food to eat, and my father was so hungry that his eyes were glowing green, he suddenly called the little girl into the house, pressed her to the ground, and choked her neck. ”
"The little girl cried and shouted, "Daddy don't hit me, Daddy don't hit me! The crying was so miserable that the man let go of his hand and said to his daughter, "Daddy is playing with you, you go and collect firewood." The daughter went out to look for most of the day, pulled out a little root from the ground, and when she returned home, she saw that the kitchen was steaming, and the father did not know where to get a pot of meat, and his mouth was full of oil. ”
The father took a bone, but there was no meat, and handed it to his daughter, saying, "Eat a little, and you will not die if you eat it." The girl asked, what kind of meat is this? And the father said, This is mutton, and two-legged lamb. The girl returned to the house after eating, but she couldn't see her brother anymore, and she didn't understand. Dad said, someone just came over, take my brother and go to the city to enjoy the blessings, don't be afraid of the mutton left behind when you leave, wait for the next time that person comes again, I will also send you to the city to enjoy the blessings. ”
When the girl heard this, she cried and blamed her father for his partiality, and after a few days the meat in the pot was gone. One night, before going to bed, my father said, "It won't be long before the city man will take you to enjoy it." The girl was so happy that in the middle of the night, she heard her father say to her from the bedside, "Niuniu, get up, I'm going to take you to the city for dinner." The daughter smiled happily, muttered good in her mouth, slept in a daze, and before she could open her eyes, she felt an iron rope slammed into her neck. ”
The story of the four masters came to an abrupt end here, and I really felt a chill in my back.
"And then, and then? That girl, isn't ......?"
The fourth master immediately said with a smile: "The girl was taken to the city to enjoy happiness, with pants and gowns to wear, and endless rice. ”
I swallowed, and I knew that the story would certainly not end like this.
"Okay, don't digress, this corpse is finished, let's change another one."
There was a bewildering smile on the face of the fourth master, I really wanted to pester him and ask, what is a two-legged sheep?
After the fourth master finished telling this story, Liu Ruxiang glanced at him: "Fourth uncle, let's talk less about this kind of story, ask if the mountain is still small." ”
The fourth master smiled, stroked his beard and continued to walk towards the depths of the cave.
The coffins around us are quite wonderful, all of them are exactly the same style, and they all look like the same coffins.
The fourth master twisted his head and commented: "The coffins here were all made by the Chen family when they made a fortune more than a hundred years ago, and they were made into the same coffins. ”
"After all, coffins are not cheap, no matter what materials are used, they are worth a lot of money in peacetime, and it is also a big expense to put them in troubled times and poor places."
As we walked forward, our flashlight gradually reflected a bright light in the distance.
When we walked in, we saw a waterhole in front of us.
Suddenly, the four masters stopped.
He stopped suddenly, and we all stopped.
Liu Ruxiang seemed to have a heart, and muttered softly: "Don't speak." ”
Then she slowly crouched down and pressed her ear to the ground.
Master's eyes became deep, as if he was thinking about something.
"Four uncles, there seems to be a sound of water here."
The fourth master nodded, closed his eyes, and felt it carefully for a while, then calmly pointed to the dark cave in front of him, and said, "The sound of water came from the front, right there, the sound of rattling." ”
Liu Ruxiang nodded, and echoed: "Let's go over and take a look, as long as it's not an underground river, it's very likely that there will be an exit!" ”
When I heard Master say this, my eyes lit up with joy.
I was in the school library before, and I came across a book on psychology, which said that there is a symptom called claustrophobia, if you stay in a dimly lit place and narrow space for a long time, people will feel very depressed, and in the long run, they will be depressed, and their body and mind will not be able to relax.
I feel that it is very suitable for my current mental state, in this small, dark and cold cave, I can even encounter some horrible dirty things, and my heart is frightened, it is simply torture.
"Let's get out of this water." The four masters waded through the water and walked into the depths with a bang.
Liu Ruxiang and I followed closely behind, almost clinging to the master and leaving.
Just now in the ground water in front of me, my foot was buckled by the hand of the living dead, and I still feel that my heart hurts, and I feel that my foot is going to be useless. I limped along, and if I encountered any more danger and injured my other foot, I would not even have the courage to go out now.
Fortunately, the four masters should be strong and strong, and the body is full of majestic tendon meat, and the words of old age and essence are not covered, and Liu Ruxiang and I are much safer in the front.
The three of us walked cautiously in the water, and after a while we were out a few dozen meters away, and the water under our feet had completely submerged my knees, and the sound of the water in the distance was getting louder and louder.
I wondered, what if we got to the end and the water just drowned us?
That's when I remembered that I couldn't swim!
I said the worry in my heart, and the fourth master replied to me with a smile: "Shame, I thought you were the young master from the city, and you didn't know how to return to the water, you are really a landlubber." ”
After the fourth master said this, he suddenly stopped.
From the time I followed Liu Ruxiang to Longming Mountain, I understood a truth, as soon as the person leading the way in front stopped, something was about to happen, so at this time, I should hurry back and run as far as I could.
Sure enough, the fourth master encountered a new situation, his face froze, and he turned his head and said to us: "I seem to have stepped on something." ”
"What?" Seeing that the situation had not yet become out of control, I immediately asked curiously.
The fourth master was silent for a while, and his legs and waist moved, as if his face had become gloomy.
"There's something down there."
After the fourth master said this, he straightened up, and then slammed the whole person into the water, sinking so that he did not show his head.
I was stunned, and pointed my flashlight at the water, and when I landed, I saw the mud and sand gushing in the water, as if something was exerting its strength.
"Bang! Bang! There was a dull sound under the water, as if something was pounding violently.
I know that this must be a movement made by the fourth master, but since he didn't warn us, there shouldn't be any danger.
Soon after, the four masters came out of the water.
The water splashed down his hair and face, he wiped his face, gasped and said, "There are coffins under this water, and there are many coffins." ”
Hearing that there was a coffin in the water, my memory was suddenly pulled back to Mojia Village, when Liu Ruxiang shone a strange coffin from the wild persimmon pond. The coffin was particularly heavy, with small holes, and Liu Ruxiang said that there were large stones inside, which was a means to sink the coffin into the water and fill it with people drowning alive.
Now that there is a coffin under the water, is it ......
If I don't understand, I asked, I told the story in a hurry, and then I saw that the fourth master shook his head.
"No, it's not a wooden coffin underneath, it's a serious stone coffin." The fourth master gasped.
"What is a coffin? Unlike the coffins we use in ordinary people, coffins can be made of wood or stone. Different from the coffin, the coffin is finished on one layer, and the coffin is one layer after another, and the large coffin is set over the small coffin, which is called the coffin. can protect the remains of the director inside. But because the requirements for construction are very high, there are requirements for materials and craftsmen, so in ancient times, those who could afford to use stone coffins were all large families. ”
"What do you mean, we're coming across the grave of a big man here?"
The fourth master shook his head: "Naturally not, this person...... This person is still from the Chen family in Shuanghu Town. ”
As soon as the fourth master said this, I was relieved.
In my subconscious, I felt that the Chen family of Shuanghu Town has been inherited to this day, and it is just an ordinary family who knows how to use spells, and it is not even a big family, and it is completely decayed, what big moves can it make?
The fourth master took a few breaths at this time, almost rested, and plunged into the water again.
The back of the fourth master appeared in front of him, and he quickly helped him up, but at the same time, I actually saw that he actually held one end of a stone coffin with both hands and slowly stood up from the water with all his might.
The four masters clenched their teeth, and the muscles on their faces were twisted, but at the same time, the stone coffin that had been lifted out of the water slowly floated up.
Seeing this, Liu Ruxiang immediately rushed up with me and helped him carry the stone coffin.
Fortunately, the stone also has a certain buoyancy in the water, and with the efforts of the three of us, we slowly lifted the stone coffin to the slightly shallow place in front of the water.
"Ahh
The edges of the coffin were even so sharp that they cut my hands.
"Okay, let's open this coffin now."
