"What's wrong?" Wu Jiayi saw that I was behaving strangely and asked in confusion.
I quickly raised my body and gestured to her: "There is a sound down there!"
Wu Jiayi's eyes widened and she hurriedly lay on the ground to listen: "Huh? No..."
"No, it's impossible, I -" I tried my best to lower my voice. Before I could finish speaking, I saw Wu Jiayi waving her hand to me. After a while, she stood up and said with a pale face: "I heard you."
The mountains and forests at night are exceptionally quiet. The strange sounds of insects in summer, the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind, and the whirling bamboo shadows under the setting sun all make me feel goosebumps at this moment. Growing up, I
We both grew up in a prosperous metropolis, so we have never experienced such a scene. The two of us just looked at each other for a while, and finally I asked in a panic: "What, what should I do?"
Wu Jiayi glanced at the slightly gloomy tomb at the moment, took a deep breath and said: "What age are we in now, and we are still suspicious! It must be a rat or something. Have you finished kowtowing?"
"Yeah." I'm still a little worried. I always feel that it's not safe under this grave. Moreover, I no longer have that sense of closeness.
Wu Jiayi said no more, found a gap, and stepped on the shovel. The moment the shovel turned over the stones, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a gust of cold wind suddenly blew up, freezing the two of them.
Shiver!
"Don't hesitate. The more strange it is, the more likely it will be useful to us." Wu Jiayi seemed to have noticed what was on my mind and hurriedly urged: "Oh -, you really don't look like a man!"
That’s it, you can’t run away anyway, so just dig! I spit in the palm of my hand, picked up the hammer and banged it violently. Wu Jiayi was right, the graveyard on this mountain was indeed not very deep.
And because these stones had been broken into pieces during burial, it is still very easy to dig them out now.
The two of them dug non-stop for nearly three hours before removing the thick layer of gravel. According to Wu Jiayi, if they dig down about half a meter, they should be able to reach the coffin.
But my grandfather passed away in a hurry, and I didn’t know if there was a coffin. If I accidentally damaged my grandfather’s body, he would be a heinous, treasonous and unforgivable beast!
Therefore, I hurriedly reminded Wu Jiayi: "Be careful. When my grandfather leaves, he may not even have a coffin ready."
Wu Jiayi nodded: "Yes, I know."
The two of them took a short rest, then took the shovel in Wu Jiayi's hand and started digging. As soon as the shovel went down, I felt something was wrong! Ordinarily, so many years have passed, and the slope here is very steep, so there is no way there will be water. Why?
When the shovel is shoveled down, it feels like it is stuck in the clay!
I used all my strength to dig out the first shovel of earth. But before I could see what was going on, I heard Wu Jiayi scream "Ah--" "Look, look."
!”
When she called her like that, I was so scared that I almost turned around and ran away. Fortunately, I was caught by her in time. Using the bright flashlight, I hurriedly looked towards the pile of soil that I had just dug out. This sight was not too serious, and I couldn't help but be frightened.
A chill ran down my back. The excavated soil turned out to be blood red! It seemed like blood would drip out when stepped on. The clay-like feeling was more likely caused by the viscosity of the blood itself!
"Could this be the blood-red soil around Yanling back then?" Wu Jiayi's voice was trembling as he spoke, and his face became paler.
I took the head of the shovel and smelled it, but there was no fishy smell at all. It seemed that it was not real blood. However, the color always made the two of them a little frightened.
Wu Jiayi glanced at me, pointed down and said, "Isn't your grandfather buried in here?"
I also feel a little weird, but the more scared I am, the more I want to dig it up and take a look. It’s no wonder, the family’s fortune has been so miserable these years, and the ancestral graves are fucking soaked in blood. Can it be cured? It seems like today is the day
Wu Jiayi no longer insists on continuing. I have to move my grandfather’s coffin out, otherwise the family will continue to decline like this!
"Miss Wu, just stand next to me and hold the flashlight." I told Wu Jiayi, then picked up the shovel and started digging. About an hour later, when I shoveled again, there was a sudden sound from the ground.
Muffled sound.
"It's a coffin!" Wu Jiayi said excitedly: "Now you don't have to worry about hurting your grandfather, and the things inside can be preserved."
Knowing that there was a coffin underneath to protect me, I speeded up a lot. After a while, the entire coffin lid was exposed. It was smaller than the coffins usually buried in the plains. The width was about less than one meter and the length was nearly two meters.
Because it has been in such a humid place for many years, the coffin board has become rotten and has lost its appearance and strength. If this was someone else's grave, I would have dug it in with a hammer, but it is different now.
It’s my grandpa!
But looking at the rotten coffin lid, I always felt that something was wrong. Those in our profession have special sensitivity to antiquities. Although ancient tombs are not antiques, it seems that the feeling of antiquities has also been affected.
