My father is very impatient. After digging through five coffins in a row, he lost interest in the last coffin. With the strength of him and me, we can pull up only one coffin at most, and don't expect anything else.
I'm quite curious. Among the six coffins, one is empty, one coffin contains Liu Banxian, and there are three more coffins with people I don't recognize. So, could the last coffin contain someone I know?
I felt it was impossible, but I still gently pried open the lid of the coffin. It was dark inside, and there was no peculiar smell. But when my flashlight shined into the coffin, I was completely stunned.
Already.
The person in the sixth coffin turned out to be dad!
I covered my mouth fiercely and tried to calm myself down, but I still couldn't hold back the tears and flowed down.
My father is dead and his body is here. What I did was an unintentional move, but it made me fall into the abyss.
"Xiaofan, what are you doing over there? Come here and help me pretend. What do you mean by dilly-dallying?"
Normally, I would definitely have said that I was dawdling like a girl, but now it felt like there was something stuck in my throat, and I couldn't say a single word.
I walked over to my father and shone the light of the flashlight on his back. He had a shadow, but he was dead, and there was no point in lying to myself.
"Dad, you have..." I said the first half of the sentence in a state of despair, but I couldn't say the word "death" at the end. I could only watch my dad pretending to be the gold on the ground, and he was so busy.
"What's going on?" My father looked up at me and continued to move his hands.
"No...nothing."
By the time my dad filled the whole bag with gold, it was already an hour later. My dad was very happy, with a twinkle in his eye, and said to me: "How about it, is it worth the trip?"
I didn't speak, and I didn't know what to say. I recalled what my father said, "Once you go down, you can never come up again." Indeed, my father and Liu Banxian went down and came up, but both of them were already dead.
, but they haven’t realized it yet.
"Let's get that empty coffin out. It can still be used when I die!"
"Get it out? Dad, do you really want to use this coffin after you die?" I asked Dad, already panicking.
"Of course." My dad stared at me and said, "You're still too young to die. I won't be able to help you if you come down and move yourself."
I sighed. This was my father's last wish. I should be satisfied. Maybe after the coffin is taken out, it will contain my father's body. At that time, I will have to come down and carry my father's real body up.
"Stop dawdling, come over and help!" My father said, reaching out and starting to push the coffin.
"Yes." I responded and went over to help my father push it. My father threw the flashlight on the ground aside and shouted slogans. We tried our best together, but we couldn't push the heavy coffin at all.
"No, we can't push it!" I said urgently.
"You have to push even if you can't push!" The veins on Dad's forehead had popped out, and he was holding on to the side of the coffin, leaning so hard that he was almost lying on the ground.
"rub……."
Finally, with our efforts, the coffin finally moved a little bit, but according to this progress, I guess the coffin still can't be moved up, even if we can tie it up and drag it up.
But the difficulty is so great that it is definitely not something that my father and I can do.
"call…."
I sat down on the ground, my hands relaxed, and my whole body went limp. This ghost coffin was indeed too heavy, no wonder there were several coffin bearers.
"Xiao Fan, let's put the things in the coffin. You can keep watch down there while I go up and call someone, okay?" My dad patted the bag of gold and silver, threw it into the coffin, and then closed it.
Lift the coffin lid.
I felt horrified in my heart. It would be fatal if I was asked to guard down there alone!
"It's better if I go up and call someone, and you can guard." I said hurriedly.
My dad nodded and said, "That's okay. Go and come back quickly. By the way, do you know who to call for help?"
"Uncle Li, Uncle Zhou, and Brother Wang, right?"
Dad smiled: "Yes, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
I looked at the sixth coffin rather tabooly, for fear that after I left, my father would find his own body. When he knew he was dead, he would probably not even be happy during the last journey. Then I would be really unfilial.
Already.
"Dad, please stay down there and don't move around. I may call you at any time."
After my father nodded in agreement, I followed the rope and prepared to climb up to the ground. It was easy to get down, but it was difficult to get up. I struggled for a long time and didn't get very far. Instead, I was too tired to move and had to die.
He grabbed the rope in his hand and stopped in mid-air.
I didn't dare to look up at all, so I could only lower my head and continue to climb up along the rope. I didn't feel it when I came down, but I knew it was difficult when I went up. Climbing up was like climbing to the sky.
When I reached the ground, my whole body was soaked with sweat, my back was sore, and my hands were scratched. I sat down on the edge of the old well and gasped for air. Fortunately, it was me who came up. If it had been my father,
, I guess I was too tired to walk.
I was sitting and resting when I suddenly heard the rustling of footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw that it was Liu Banxian walking towards me. I was shocked. I already saw Liu Banxian’s body below. He was dead.
Yes, that's for sure. Now that he's here again, is it possible that he wants to push me down?
In my mind, ghosts can harm people. Now there are only two of us here. If he takes action, I will definitely suffer. This old boy is very strong. I know this. I subconsciously stay away from him.
Keep it in mind to prevent him from suddenly making an attack!
"Why are you here alone?" Liu Banxian asked.
I turned away from the well and asked, "Why did you come here?"
"I've been here a long time ago. I don't know what's going on down there, so I don't dare to go down!"
I cursed in my heart, this old boy is dead himself, but he is still a coward, he dare not go down there and he can say such things.
"What's going on below?"
"There are six coffins down there, and there is some gold. My father insists on carrying a coffin out. Why don't you ask me to come out and find someone to help."
"Carrying the coffin? Your father is not dead yet?" Liu Banxian asked doubtfully.
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "I found my father's body down there. I know he is dead..."
"Look! I said your father is dead. I saw it with my own eyes. I, Liu Banxian, never talk nonsense." Liu Banxian clapped his hands fiercely, feeling a little excited.
"It's just that I also saw..." I added.
"What else did you see?" Liu Banxian asked.
"No...nothing." I finally figured it out. These two people might be dead. The most important thing is that neither of them knew they were dead, which would be fatal. Neither of them really wanted to harm me.
Because there are so many opportunities, it is impossible for them to wait until now, not to mention that one of them is my father!
I looked at Liu Banxian, and I couldn't express the feeling in my heart. It's not good to say it, and it's not good not to say it. Maybe he is the kind of sinister person Liu Banxian said. He is obviously dead, but he doesn't know it. It's a pity for Liu Banxian.
, knew these things, but didn’t know that he was also dead. He should understand it when he goes down into the well and sees his own body.
Just when I was about to ask Liu Banxian to go down with me, I hesitated, and the reason was very simple. My father was already dead, and it was useless for me to be sad. I could only endure it and couldn't tell him, otherwise he would know that he was dead.
, is a ghost, and he will definitely not be willing to stay with me anymore. I will really lose him. For now, I can only hide it and mediate in the middle to mediate the relationship.
"Let's go, go down, Yang Fan, what are you doing standing there stupidly?" Liu Banxian stood at the edge of the well and looked down, urging me.
