Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Unspeakable Secret II

Just when I was feeling a little nervous about this idea, Xiaorui took me to the other side of the coffin and said, "Here are the words."

I knew what words she was talking about. Following her finger, I saw the words "Dreams Come True" engraved on it. After thinking about it, I said, "How about we open the coffin?"

When I said this sentence, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. I don’t know if I have written too many ghost stories. Now when I see anything, I can’t help but associate it with some plot that scares me. Chu Jiangshan

He died mysteriously a long time ago. Because he has no family members alive, the body has been cremated by the relevant departments. Naturally, I don’t have to worry about his body lying in the coffin, but will there be something else lying in it, such as someone?

An individual corpse of something?

The tractor master's words rang in my ears again. He said that this place is often haunted. I didn't really believe this at first, but I just heard the cry of an old woman on the road, and vaguely heard the words "Jiangshan".

Could this word refer to Chu Jiangshan?

I was very scared, but I had to make such a suggestion because Xiaorui was next to me and she had been here once before. I would never allow myself to be timid in front of the girl I loved.

Xiaorui shook her head and said, "It can't be opened."

I was surprised and pushed hard on the coffin lid. My hand was cold and heavy, and it seemed to be made of iron. Xiaorui said: "I have already seen it. The coffin lid is not connected and welded to the coffin body. It should be OK."

To open it, you just need a key.”

Key? Chu Jiangshan has died a long time ago. I don’t know who put this coffin here. Where can I find the key? Although I have the most basic lock-picking techniques Erliang taught me, I don’t think I can

I would definitely be able to open this coffin, but I couldn’t say anything discouraging in front of Xiaorui, so I asked, “Where is the keyhole? Let me see.”

Xiaorui had obviously been studying this coffin for a long time. She immediately knelt down, pulled me and crawled to the ground of the coffin, and said, "I've seen it, and the only place that could be the keyhole is here."

I used my flashlight to shine on the place Xiaorui mentioned. It was different from the common keyhole I imagined. It looked more like a concave rectangle with a pattern concave in the middle of the rectangle. I am very familiar with these patterns.

, exactly the same as those jade pendants.

After hesitating for a while, I took out those jade pendants from my body. Although these jade pendants seemed to me to be the same, if I wanted to use them as keys and I didn't know if I could just take out one piece at random, it would be a big deal if I took the wrong one and didn't open it.

, in case there is a volley of arrows fired by some agency, it would be too unfair. After thinking about it, I still chose the piece that Yi Niang gave me, and then said to Xiaorui: "You go out first."

Xiaorui saw me take out these jade pendants from my body. She didn't know what I wanted to do at first, but she had also seen the rectangle at the bottom of the coffin countless times. When she looked at the jade pendants in my hand, she thought about it after a moment.

When he understood, his face was full of surprise: "Where did you get this thing from?"

I said: "You go out for a while and I will tell you later."

Xiaorui responded, handed me the flashlight, and got out from the bottom of the coffin. I held my breath and carefully put the jade pendant up. With a soft "click", the jade pendant just fit into the rectangle.

, but there was no change in the coffin. I gritted my teeth, held the jade pendant with my fingers, and gently turned it left and right to test the direction. Then I turned to the right with a strong force, and only heard a "cluck" coming from above.

The sound was followed by a cheer from Xiaorui: "Arui, come out quickly, come out quickly, it's open!"

I hurriedly got out from the bottom of the coffin, and then I realized that I was covered in cold sweat, but I had no time to take care of it. I hurriedly shined the flashlight on the coffin, and sure enough, the coffin lid had slid open from top to bottom, revealing the dark

There was a hint of chill inside the coffin.

This coffin is much higher than ordinary coffins, so we can't see the bottom at a glance from our position, so we don't know what's inside. Xiaorui and I looked at each other, and we both saw fear in each other's eyes.

At this moment, Xiaorui took a step forward. I quickly grabbed her and said, "You are here, I will come."

Xiaorui glanced at me gratefully and said, "Let's go together." I nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go."

The two of us took a step forward, arrived in front of the coffin, and looked at each other again. Xiaorui nodded. I shined the flashlight into the coffin, and then the two of us moved forward. This time, we finally looked at each other.

Arriving at the contents of the coffin.

There was not a corpse lying in the coffin as I originally imagined, nor was there even anything scary. There were only four small coffins, the same black color, and the same mysterious patterns carved on them.

We looked at each other and didn't know what it meant to put some small coffins in this big coffin. Xiaorui said: "Don't worry about so many for now, just bring them up and take a look."

I leaned down and struggled to pick up the small coffins one by one. The small coffins were only compared to the big coffins. They were actually nearly twenty centimeters long. They were probably made of iron and were very heavy to hold.

I finally brought all four small coffins up, and I was exhausted. I leaned on the edge of the coffin and panted. Xiaorui was playing with the small coffins. After a while, I raised my head and said, "Arui, I need you."

Come."

I knelt down and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiaorui turned over a small coffin with great effort and said, "Look, you have to do it." I followed her hand and looked over, and found that there was also a rectangular recess in the ground of the coffin.

It was also carved into the shape of a peony. I took out the jade pendant from my body. This time I deliberately replaced it with an ancestral piece from my family. I put it on and turned it gently. After a few rattling sounds, the cover of the coffin slowly slid.

When I finally opened it, based on my experience last time, I wasn’t worried about anything scary inside. What I was most afraid of was that I found another small coffin inside, so before the cover completely slid open, my eyes immediately cooperated.

Dian glanced inside.

There was no coffin inside, but there seemed to be some papers. I reached in and saw a line of words on the top one: "Welcome to the Dream Club."

I was startled, raised my head, and found that Xiao Rui also had a surprised look on her face. Both of us had been in contact with the Dream Club, but what I didn't expect was that we also found the welcome message of the Dream Club in this coffin.

But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. After all, this place that is said to contain the secret of Chu Jiangshan was originally told to Xiaorui by the Dream Club, and so many mysterious letters were signed by Chu Jiangshan. If Chu Jiangshan has nothing to do with this Dream Club,

The relationship is rather strange.

I turned over the first piece of paper, and there were slightly more words written on the second piece of paper. It was a sentence that I thought I had seen before. The handwriting on it was also very familiar to me. I once found it at Lao Chu's house.

I passed a notebook, and the words written on it were exactly the same as what I see now: their secrets.

My heart beat violently. The last time I saw such a notebook at Lao Chu's house, it contained the secrets of Wang Qiang and Erliang, but unfortunately it was torn up. I wonder if it will be found here.

It also recorded the secrets of these two people. Thinking that the questions that had puzzled me for a long time might be revealed at this moment, my hands began to shake uncontrollably.

I turned another page, and I was surprised by the words on it. I hurriedly folded the papers and put them in my pocket, pretending to be nonchalant, and said to Xiaorui: "Open those papers and take a look inside."

If there is anything, we can rush back overnight to study it."

Xiaorui couldn't see the words written on the paper clearly from the angle she was standing at just now, and she didn't notice anything unusual about me. She nodded and said, "Okay, open these too."

I took the second small coffin, but this time there were two concave rectangles on the back. I thought about it and took out two jade pendants and pressed them down at the same time. Sure enough, the coffin lid slid open, and there were some papers inside.

Afraid that I would see some words that Xiaorui should not see again, I put it in my pocket before I could check it. Then I checked the third small coffin. There were indeed three rectangles underneath. I opened it in the same way, but there was something inside.

I didn't see any paper, so I touched it with my hand and took out a small photo.

Xiaorui hurriedly shined the flashlight up. Before I could see clearly, I heard a pop and everything went black. The flashlight fell to the ground. I was surprised. I picked up the flashlight on the ground with one hand and hurriedly picked it up with the other hand.

He grabbed Xiaorui and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiaorui covered her mouth with her hands. I saw her eyes were full of tears. She took the photo from my hand and said, "Do you know who this person is?"

This time I finally saw the person in the photo clearly. Of course I knew who this person was, because she looked almost exactly the same as Xiao Rui. She was Xiao Rui’s mother. Of course, she was the same as the old well in the backyard of the old house.

The woman in the painting is exactly the same, except her teeth are not red.

Xiaorui looked at this photo blankly, tears streaming down her face. I gently patted her shoulder to express comfort. After a while, Xiaorui stopped crying and said to me

: “Remember when you asked me what my dream was?”

Of course I remember that Xiaorui told me that her dream was to meet a woman. I suddenly understood, pointed at the photo, and said: "This..." Xiaorui didn't wait for me to finish, nodded and said

: "She is my mother, she has been dead for almost twenty years."

Xiaorui's dream is to see her mother who has been dead for nearly twenty years. This is simply impossible. At this time, I finally understood why Xiaorui said that her dream was in the eyes of others.

It's ridiculous. No one would believe that they could see someone who has been dead for many years, unless they think about it day by day and dream about it at night. But I couldn't say anything to Xiaorui on this issue, so I had to change the subject.

, said: "Let's see what's in the next coffin."

There were a total of four sunken rectangles under the fourth coffin, but I only had three jade pendants in my hand. It seemed that there was no way to open it. I looked at Xiaorui and said, "How about taking it away."

Xiaorui nodded and said: "Then put these empty ones back. It's too tiring to carry them on the road. Anyway, all the things inside are taken out."

I thought about the same truth, so I asked Xiaorui to hold the flashlight, while I struggled to pick up the small coffins and put them one by one into the big coffin. Because the big coffin was taller, I couldn't just throw it away casually.

So I had to lean down very low when I put it down. Xiaorui was standing behind me with a flashlight. Just when I put the first coffin down, I thought of Xiaorui standing behind me, and suddenly my heart

I felt hairy and couldn't help but think of the words I saw on the paper in the first coffin.

Written on it is a person's name and a sentence:

"Xiaorui
