Chapter 69 Under the Night
"Of course I have to carry this coffin back. Niu Laosan bought this coffin for three taels of silver, three taels of silver. Who is willing to buy such an expensive coffin? This much silver can almost buy a pig."
"That's right, only Niu Laosan is so generous. Anyone would never buy such a good coffin. Even if the old man in the family dies, he can only buy a coffin for about one tael of silver at most.
It is absolutely impossible to buy a coffin made of such fine wood."
Qiangzi was the youngest and had experienced relatively few things. After hearing what everyone said, he felt that since the coffin was so valuable, and it was now confirmed that Niu Laosan's wife was not dead, then the coffin would naturally not be used.
, so Qiangzi thought that I was Niu Laosan and sold this coffin, wouldn’t the money come back?
"Third brother, you are really lucky. If your wife is fine, then this coffin can be sold." Qiangzi said to Niu Laosan with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Ushisaburo's face turned gloomy for a while and he did not answer.
On the other hand, the person next to Qiangzi reached out and slapped Qiangzi hard on the head.
"I asked you, are you out of your mind? Can you talk nonsense like this? Since Niu Laosan bought this coffin for his wife, even though his wife is resurrected now, this coffin also belongs to his wife. Why?
Can it be sold? Besides, coming back from the dead is a happy event, so this coffin represents wealth and should be kept at home."
"Qiangzi, don't dare to talk nonsense in the future. Let's forget it this time. You are young and ignorant. Try to speak as little as possible in the future. Didn't you see that none of us spoke?"
Niu Laosan also smiled bitterly at this time and said to everyone: "It's okay. Qiangzi didn't mean to say that. I don't blame him. It's already dark. Let's carry the coffin back to the village."
So everyone carried the coffin and walked towards the village. But as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they heard bursts of crying coming from the village, and even some dogs in the village also let out "woo woo" at this time.
of crying.
"what happened?"
"Why is the village so chaotic?"
"I don't know, it was very quiet when we came back to get things just now."
So everyone quickened their pace, and after placing the coffin in front of Niu Laosan's house, everyone hurried back to their homes.
Let’s talk about Niu Laosan.
Although I still felt a little scared, I still returned home.
Yuan Niang was sitting in the main room. Her face seemed to have regained a trace of rosiness at this moment, but her expression was still dull. However, her eyes no longer looked so distracted, nor did they look like the ones only seen by dead people at the beginning.
Those eyes, now he looks like a real person.
The child seemed not to be at home. Niu Sanlang thought that it must have been taken away by the sixth aunt. Maybe the sixth aunt felt that Yuan Niang's current condition was not suitable for raising a child, so she took the child home to take care of her.
"Something happened in the village." Yuan Niang suddenly spoke.
This startled Niu Laosan, but he soon lost his fear. After all, his wife spoke much better now than before, at least she no longer spoke word by word like before, and now when she spoke, he
The wife could also turn her head and look at him with some expression.
"Don't be afraid, I won't harm you." Yuan Niang noticed that Niu Laosan seemed to be very afraid of her, so she explained: "I don't know why, I should have been dead, but I was actually in the coffin.
When I woke up, our child had been born. I didn’t know where the strength came from at that time, so I just pushed open the coffin lid and crawled out. You should have gone to the tomb with the people in our village just now.
, you should have discovered the hole I dug."
Yuan Niang's tone was very calm, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
Niu Laosan nodded. He didn't know why. He wanted to speak now, but found that no sound could come out of his throat.
Seeing Niu Laosan nodding, Yuan Niang continued: "When I climbed out, I was worried that someone would take away the contents of the coffin, so I crawled back and put the lid back on the coffin, and also knocked back the rivets."
"I can't explain why, but my strength suddenly became much stronger."
Yuanniang seemed to be explaining how she pushed out the coffin lid and crawled out of it. She was also afraid that Niu Sanlang wouldn't believe her, so she spoke to Niu Laosan again: "I know you may not believe it, but you see
, I’m really strong.”
As Yuan Niang spoke, she bent down, lightly grabbed her feet a few times, and dug a hole directly into the ground. Niu Laosan was stunned. The ground was very thick, and the house was built inside the house.
At that time, the ground was specially treated and pressed thickly. Even with a shovel, it was impossible to dig out the soil so easily, but Yuan Niang dug out a large piece of it with her hands so easily.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I am your wife, I can still hurt you."
Yuan Niang stood up and poured a glass of water for Niu Laosan, and asked Niu Laosan to drink a glass of water to calm down his shock.
Niu Lao San was not polite. Anyway, it was his wife who poured him water. There was nothing he could not drink. Moreover, his wife had just made it clear that she could not harm him. This also made Niu Lao San let go of the last trace of his heart.
alert.
He also wanted to understand that Yuan Niang was his wife, and it was a good thing to come back to life. Even if Yuan Niang really turned into a ghost, she would not be able to harm him. How could his wife harm him? She loved
It's too late for me.
After drinking a few sips of tea, the tension had subsided. Niu Laosan was finally able to speak normally. At this time, he also slowly asked: "Mother Yuan, you just said something happened in the village. What happened?"
What's going on?"
Yuan Niang said calmly: "I don't know why, but in our village, all the people who died in the past have crawled out of their graves, and many of them have only a pile of skeletons left. Moreover, after they returned home, they were also in a state of chaos at home.
After a sudden beating, everyone who saw a living person rushed up to bite them, and now more than a dozen people have been bitten."
While Yuanniang was talking, the two of them heard some movement in their yard.
Niu Laosan was about to get up to check, but Yuan Niang stopped him: "Don't go, it should be our father and mother who are back."
As soon as he heard what Yuanniang said, Niu Laosan immediately turned pale with fright.
Niu Laosan's parents died three years ago, how could they possibly come back?
When Niu Laosan thought about what Yuan Niang had just said, the people in the village who had been dead for many years had come back, and only a bunch of skeletons were left. After they came back, they also beat up the house and pounced on the living people when they saw them.
When he went up to bite it, his face turned even paler with fright, and his body began to tremble violently.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Didn't you carry my coffin back? Later, let us go to the coffin and stay well. I will carry them back to the cemetery and bury them again."
That’s it.”
After Yuan Niang finished speaking, she stood up and walked outside. Ushisaburo heard the sound of fighting outside, but at this moment his legs were weak and he collapsed on the ground. He could only stay at home, but he could not do anything.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Niu Laosan heard the sound of the coffin lid being opened, and then heard two more bangs, and then the sound of the coffin lid being closed, and finally heard Yuan Niang say: "Dad,
Mom, you are already dead, so you have to be buried in peace. This coffin was originally mine, but now that you are back, I will give it to you."
"You guys stay in there well today, and I will send you back tomorrow."
After saying that, Yuan Niang fixed the rivets on the coffin lid, and even took some ropes to tie the coffin tightly.
After doing all this, Yuan Niang returned to the house, but there was still some movement in the yard, which was the sound of banging on wooden boards.
Yuan Niang heard the sound coming from outside, and looked at Niu Laosan, whose legs were weak from fear and collapsed on the ground. There was a flash of worry and anger in her eyes. What she was worried about was that she was afraid that this
This thing will frighten Niu Laosan. What makes him angry is that he has already made a good agreement with Niu Laosan's parents to let them stay in the coffin and send them back tomorrow, but Niu Laosan's
My parents were still banging on the coffin, trying to crawl out from inside.
"Sanlang, it's okay. Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, I will definitely protect you. Those things outside can't hurt you. Oh, by the way, our child is sleeping in the house. You go and take a look first.
Take care of the kids, I'm keeping watch here in the main room, there might be something coming outside tonight."
But Niu Sanlang was so frightened that his legs were weak and he could not stand up easily. Yuan Niang had no choice but to come to Niu Sanlang and hug him up.
The moment Yuan Niang's hand touched Ushi Saburo's body, Ushi Saburo felt a chill that penetrated his heart.
As if she noticed something strange about Niu Sanlang, Yuan Niang smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, Sanlang. I just came back from the dead and my body has not recovered yet. It is normal for my hands to be cold. I will be fine tomorrow."
After saying that, without giving Ushisaburo a chance to speak, he directly carried him into the back room.
Sure enough, the child was on the bed, sleeping soundly and breathing evenly.
"Sanlang, you stay here and stay with the child. If the child cries later, I will bring the goat milk over and you can feed the child."
After saying that, Yuan Niang left the back room and returned to the main room again. It happened that at this time, there was some movement in the yard, and it seemed that something else had come in.
Yuan Niang was sitting in the main room and began to twist her body, twisting and circling in a strange way.
After some activities, Yuan Niang got up and walked out. After a while, she came back again, but Yuan Niang was holding an arm in her hand, which was obviously just torn off a living person.
“What delicious food, tsk tsk...”
Yuan Niang showed a sinister smile.
After eating this arm, Yuan Niang's face became rosier again, and her complexion also recovered a lot.
On the table in front of Yuan Niang, there was a night of bright red blood, still steaming.
...
The same thing happened in various villages in Hu County.
Every village was in chaos.
The scholar had no way to take care of these things that happened in the village. He had already walked into the thick white fog again.
The scholar knew that in order to completely solve these strange things, he had to figure out where the magical power in this thick fog came from.
It's just that the scholar doesn't know that the Night Walk of One Hundred Ghosts has actually officially begun.
