Unexpectedly, Bai Tian and the others walked all the way here, but they never saw Bai Banxia and Zhang Tonglin.
"Are these two children addicted to running and ran back to their grandma's house in one breath?" Zhang Lingzhi muttered.
"I have to talk to them when I get back. They know that they are having fun and they don't help. It's all left to Qi Zhen." In Bai Tian's eyes, his daughter is still a little girl who goes around having fun.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the Zhang family in Maple Tree Village, they learned that the two of them had not come back at all. The family couldn't help but become anxious, fearing that something would happen on the road.
Something did happen on the road, but no one expected it.
Bai Banxia and her third cousin ran almost half the way, and finally lost to him by only two meters.
"I can't run, I can't run. Third cousin, you're so slow." She gasped and said.
"What scuds? Even if you run fast, the hair on your legs won't fly." Zhang Tonglin also gasped for air, "My legs are called whirlwind legs."
"Yes, yes, the invincible little whirlwind." Bai Banxia said with a smile.
At this moment, the two heard crying not far away. When they looked over, they saw that it was a family carrying a coffin for burial.
There is a fork in their road, one side leads to Maple Tree Village, and the other side leads to the mountain. Looking at the other side, they should be heading up the mountain.
"You should be unable to enter the ancestral graves if you die unexpectedly. Let's leave quickly. It's too unlucky." Zhang Tonglin frowned and said.
Bai Banxia secretly thought that her third cousin was quite superstitious and was about to leave when she suddenly saw water dripping from under the coffin. There seemed to be some noise?
She narrowed her eyes, no, that was not water, it was amniotic fluid stained with blood!
"Wait a minute, I'm afraid the person in the coffin is not dead." She said and walked towards the team carrying the coffin. Zhang Tonglin wanted to stop him but it was too late.
The people carrying the coffin saw a fat, lucky girl blocking the road with sweating profusely. They were surprised. Others felt unlucky when they saw the coffin and couldn't even hide. How come there were still people blocking the coffin?
of?
"Who is in the coffin? But she is pregnant? I am a doctor. I suspect the person can still be saved. Can the family open the coffin?" Bai Banxia said loudly.
The coffins were carried by four strong men from the nearby Shitou Village, followed by the Zheng family's mother-in-law and their second son Zheng Yin. They were crying so hard that they could hardly walk. When they heard this, they were stunned and turned towards Bai Banxia.
Look.
"What kind of medical skills does the little girl know? This kind of thing is not a joke. Go home quickly." A man carrying the coffin advised.
His tone was kind, but he didn't mean to look down on Bai Banxia. In fact, Bai Banxia was too young.
"I can tell that the person in the coffin is pregnant and still breathing. Don't you still believe it? Any further delay will be harmful." Bai Banxia looked at Zheng Yin behind her, and she guessed that the person in the coffin was this man's wife.
"Are you really alive?" Zheng Yin's eyes brightened. "My wife was pregnant for more than nine months. She was about to give birth when the water suddenly ran out of the house and she died like this."
Water leakage refers to fire. According to statistics, more than 80% of people who die in fires die from smoke suffocation. Some of them temporarily hold their breath and wake up on their own after a while.
"How long did it take for him to die and enter the coffin?" she asked hurriedly.
Zheng Yin's expression flashed slightly, as if he had something to hide.
"Okay, the death of Zheng's second daughter-in-law is unlucky. We all see that she has expired. Let's go to the burial as soon as possible. We can't delay any longer." A man carrying the coffin said.
"Yes, if there is no burial at noon, no one will be able to bear the burden if something happens." Someone else said.
The four of them walked around Bai Banxia and continued walking. The light in Zheng Yin's eyes dimmed again and she started crying again, "I have run out of energy for a long time, my poor wife and child."
Zhang Tonglin grabbed Bai Banxia and whispered: "This man looks very sad. He will not harm his wife and children. Since he said that he has died, there is no lie. Let's leave quickly."
"The death of breath may be temporary. Even if I didn't happen to see it, there are two lives. I can't turn a blind eye." Bai Banxia looked at Zhang Tonglin, "Third cousin, go find my parents first. I'm done here.
Just go back to grandma’s house.”
"How can that be done? I have to watch you. It's very dangerous for a girl like you." Zhang Tonglin disagreed.
Bai Banxia didn't have time to explain. Once her third cousin saw her fighting, he wouldn't say such things.
She caught up with Zheng Yin and Mrs. Zheng and said, "Your wife probably choked on the smoke and lost her breath. However, in this case, a small number of people temporarily lose their breath and can wake up after a while."
She pointed to the water mark under the coffin, "I just saw that the coffin was dripping. It's because the mother's amniotic fluid broke. Maybe the baby can be saved."
Unexpectedly, Zheng Yin and Mrs. Zheng looked in the direction she pointed. Their faces instantly turned pale, and Mrs. Zheng was so frightened that her legs gave way and she fell to the ground.
The coffin bearers noticed something strange, looked under the coffin, and screamed strangely.
"The coffin is leaking water, it's a fake corpse!" A coffin bearer threw down the coffin and ran away screaming.
One person was missing and the coffin fell to the ground unsteadily. At this time, there was a superstitious saying that the coffin should not fall to the ground on the way to the burial. The other three people dropped the coffin and ran away as soon as they saw it.
Mrs. Zheng was so frightened that she trembled and murmured as if she was suffering from hysteria, "It's over, it's over, the Zheng family is over."
"It's true, I know you are unwilling to die, and I can't let you go, but people can't be resurrected, so please just go away." Zheng Yin cried and said.
Bai Banxia was speechless. Superstition can kill people.
"I told you that the mother's amniotic fluid broke. What are you thinking?" She said and wanted to open the coffin, but the lid of the coffin was nailed with long nails and many nails, making it impossible to open it.
"No, you don't know!" Zheng Yin shouted, with a confused expression, but he still said it.
"My wife was pregnant with a child and died twice. It was very unlucky to begin with. The village chief said she could only bury the body for three days, but a cat jumped on her!"
Zhang Tonglin was so frightened that he screamed, "Oh my God, the cat was shocked!"
There are also such legends in modern folk. Bai Banxia has heard of them, but there is not much scientific basis. She prefers to believe that Zheng Yin's wife is still alive, and even the fetus has hope of survival.
"If you really care about your wife and children, just help me open the coffin. Even if you can't save her, you have to give it a try. If she is still alive, if you bury her alive, won't you worry about your conscience in the future?" Bai Banxia has already changed from
I found a stone nearby to knock on.
Mrs. Zheng didn't know what she was thinking, she screamed and fainted.
"Mom, mother, are you okay?" Zheng Yin hurriedly went to see his mother again, feeling confused.
"Third cousin, please find a way to help me break open the coffin." Bai Banxia patted the coffin board. It was quite strong, and he couldn't smash it hard, for fear of hurting the people inside.
Zhang Tonglin's face turned pale with fright, "Cousin, what should I do if I open her to pretend to be a dead body?"
"What are you afraid of in broad daylight?" Bai Banxia rolled her eyes angrily.
He gritted his teeth, stamped his feet and said, "Okay, I'll help you smash it. I'll take care of anything you have to do!"
Unexpectedly, Bai Banxia's face suddenly changed and he spoke quickly: "Third cousin, please go quickly and go to the county government office to find an official named Li Jinniu..."
