Chapter 25 A coffin with blood and water
There is no situation on the top of the coffin. It is normal. Tong Tong's body is lying quietly inside the coffin, but his face is blue and looks a little scary.
In this way, the problem should be in the lower layer of the coffin.
When we carefully uncovered the lower layer of the coffin, a strong smell of blood rushed straight to the door.
We quickly covered our noses and took several steps back, almost spitting out all the food we had eaten before.
The scene at the bottom of the coffin made us dumbfounded, and even our scalp was numb. The body of Tong Dad, who was originally placed on the bottom of the coffin, had some blood melted into a pool of blood, and some minced meat was soaked in the blood, and you could see an eyeball floating on the surface of the blood.
Wow!
Some people can't help but bend down and vomit.
Old Huang's face turned pale and he looked at the blood in the coffin and said nothing.
I finally understood where the blood at the bottom of the coffin came from, and why Lei Zi felt that the coffin had become lighter before, because the body was gone, and the weight of the coffin was naturally reduced.
However, the key to the problem now is that the corpse was originally lying at the bottom of the coffin, but at this moment... how could it turn into a pool of rotten flesh and blood?
I can't understand this question, and Lao Huang and the others can't understand it even more.
I stared at the scene in my coffin in disbelief: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
"Jiujizi, this...this..." Leizi looked at me, with a complicated expression mixed on his face.
I shook my head and pondered, "I don't know why it turned out like this. I remember that the corpse was still good and very stiff when introduced into the coffin. Besides, I have only heard of corpses rotting, and I have never heard of corpses turning into blood. Even if they rot, it is impossible to rot like this in just a few hours, right?"
"Can it be... it was Tong Tong's fault?" Lei Zi looked at Tong Tong with fear in his eyes.
I was silent and didn't know how to answer. This matter has exceeded my cognition. Could it be that Tong Tong did it?
"It must be Tong Tong's wronged soul! It must be Tong Tong's wronged soul!" Xu Wangxin was already shouting from the side, with a horror in his voice. It could be seen that he was very scared.
Old Huang said in a deep voice: "What are you yelling? Do you want others to hear it?"
Then Lao Huang turned his head and asked me: "Master Jiu, what should I do now?"
What to do? What can I do?
I thought about it and said to Lao Huang: "No matter what, I'll just bury the coffin first!"
Lao Huang nodded: "Yes, there is no other way now! Brothers, come and carry the coffin!"
"No! I won't go!" Xu Wangxin was the first to refuse.
"Where are you?" Old Huang's eyes swept across the faces of others.
Others bowed their heads, but didn't say anything. Some stood still, and some took a step back silently. It was obvious that everyone's emotions were affected. This coffin was an evil thing and no one wanted to touch it.
"What are you doing?" Old Huang was a little angry: "The coffin holder will encounter any situation. Do you all want to be cowards? Just this little thing scares you out of your courage?"
Xu Wangxin sighed: "Old Huang, we are not cowards, but we can't just joke about our lives. Whoever here has no wives and children? What if something goes wrong? It's obvious that Tong Tong is a life-threatening evil creature. He will kill his parents before he dies, and will not let his father go after he dies. It's so terrible. Whoever touches Tong Tong will die! Making money is important, but we don't want to die!"
Xu Wangxin's words were reasonable, and other coffin carryrs agreed. It seemed that no one was willing to continue carrying the coffin anymore.
Old Huang looked at me with a frown: "Master Jiu, what should I do?"
I looked at the sky and delayed it. The coffin could not be delivered to the burial site at the prescribed time. But now everyone is full of fear of Tong Tong, and no one is willing to carry the coffin. The current situation is a bit beyond my expectations.
"Okay! You don't want to carry the coffin, so tell me, how should you deal with this coffin?" Old Huang asked everyone.
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally Xu Wangxin stood up and suggested: "So that, since everyone is unwilling to continue carrying the coffin, we cannot throw the coffin in broad daylight. Everyone does good deeds and accumulates virtue, so they just bury the coffin on the spot. This is an explanation to the deceased. What do you think?"
At present, burying it on the spot may be the only way, because no one is willing to carry the coffin, and it is impossible to throw the coffin here and leave it alone.
Lao Huang asked me for advice. Although I didn't agree very much, I couldn't say much because of the situation.
Lao Huang directed everyone to dig a hole on the spot, digging it deeper, after all, it was buried in other people's fields.
Eight people took turns working, and soon dug a deep pit. Everyone put the coffin into the pit and sealed the soil with all their hands and feet.
"There should be no problem!" Xu Wangxin said.
Old Huang patted the yellow mud on his hand and lowered his voice: "No one present can tell you about this matter today. If the village chief knows that we did not carry the coffin to the back hillside, no one can bear the responsibility after blaming him! Also, if the villagers know that we opened the coffin halfway, everyone will not think about doing this business in the future. So I advise you that this matter must be completely confidential today!"
Everyone present understood the interests of this matter, and everyone patted their chests on the spot to promise that they would definitely do a good job of confidentiality.
We stayed in the cornfield for a while, calculated the time before we set out for Niujia Village.
Along the way, everyone didn't talk much. Today, this matter was indeed not very glorious, but we can't say that there is something wrong with our people. After all, something strange happened on the way, and no one could make a joke about their lives. Personal safety is the most important thing.
When we returned to the village, we reported the situation to the village chief and said that the Tong family and son were buried in the back hillside by us. Please rest assured.
The village chief was very satisfied and sent us a red envelope, then asked someone to arrange a dinner table and accompany us to drink with us in person.
When the coffin is brought back, the owner wants to invite the coffin carryr to have a "thank you banquet". This is the rule.
The dinner was set up in the backyard of the village committee, and the dishes were very rich. The village chief also took out two bottles of treasured wine to express his condolences to us "heroes".
In the village chief's opinion, we did a great thing for the village. What he was most worried about was that if the bodies of the Tong family father and son were not handled properly, it would be troublesome if the unjust souls of the Tong family father and son did not disperse.
Since we told him that the matter had been resolved, the village chief put down the stone hanging in his heart, and seemed very happy and repeatedly advised us to have a drink.
They drank until midnight was approaching, and then everyone dispersed in a drunken state. The village chief drank high and was carried back by Lao Huang and the others.
Lei Zi stood up shakingly: "Let's go, we should go home too!"
I pondered: "I don't want to go home!"
Lei Zi burped: "Don't you go home? Where do you want to go? Do you still want to drink?"
I shook my head and stood up on the table: "I want to go back to the cornfield and take a look!"
