Huang Yixian naturally didn't believe it either. He walked forward quickly, looked down at the coffin, and immediately understood what was going on. He raised his head and said to everyone: "Don't be afraid, everyone! It's just because of him.
The corpse has not yet rotted, but it has shrunk rapidly after the Yang Qi entered it, which is a very normal phenomenon."
However, when everyone heard what Huang Yixian said, instead of eliminating the fear in their hearts, they became even more frightened. You must know that Li Fangtian had been dead for more than 20 years, and when he died, he was placed in a simple coffin that was not very tightly sealed.
, and was buried only a few dozen meters away from the river bank. What's more, the coffin is still covered with maggots, so how could the body not rot yet?
Li Changshui said tremblingly: "Master Huang, you...don't scare us. His body has not rotted for so many years, will it..." Before he could finish his words, Huang Yixian waved his hand and interrupted him: "
Don’t make blind guesses! The reason why his corpse does not rot all year round is because the aroma emitted by the feces of corpse maggots has an antiseptic effect.”
Li Changshui was slightly startled: "But didn't you just say that corpse maggots feed on rotting corpses?"
"That's right! But we will never feed on his corpse!"
"Why is that?"
Huang Yixian raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said: "Let's not talk so much now. It's important to get the coffin out quickly. Otherwise, we will be in trouble after the hour."
However, no one dared to step forward to lift the coffin anymore. No matter what Li Changshui said, it had no effect. He added another hundred yuan in wages, but no one was willing to do it.
Seeing that no one came forward for a long time, Huang Yixian looked a little unhappy and said: "If no one does it, then I will leave. If anything evil happens in your village then, don't come to me again!"
Li Changshui hurriedly advised: "Master Huang, don't be angry! These young people have never experienced this kind of thing, so it is inevitable that everyone will have some scruples. How about you put a few talismans on them to embolden them."
Huang Yixian glared at him: "The talisman I made is not for emboldening my courage. How can I stick it on randomly! Besides, the sun is shining brightly, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Li Changshui felt helpless. He suddenly took out several hundred-yuan bills from his wallet, raised them high and shouted loudly: "Those who come here to help lift the coffin will be paid two hundred yuan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty Niu squeezed out of the crowd again, "Are you serious?"
When Li Changshui saw it was Fatty Niu, he was slightly startled: "Why is it you again?"
"If I help lift the coffin, will you really give me two hundred?" Niu Fatty asked.
"Can you do this?"
"Yes!" Fatty Niu stared at the banknotes in Li Changshui's hand and nodded desperately.
"Okay! Then I count you alone!" Li Changshui handed the two hundred-dollar bills to Fatty Niu's hand, then raised his head and shouted: "Is there anyone else?"
Two young men were also eager to give it a try, but before they could take a step forward, they were immediately pulled back by their family members. Licun is considered a rich village, with several village-run enterprises, and the people in the village are not short of money, so there is no need to
Like a fat man, he would do anything for two hundred dollars, let alone such a very unlucky thing.
Li Changshui shouted for a long time, but no one came forward. Fatty Niu couldn't wait any longer, and whispered from the side: "Uncle, if you want... or else, I can do this job by myself."
"How can you do this alone?" Li Changshui was a little surprised.
Fatty Niu smiled naively and said, "Haha, it can be done!" After saying that, he picked up a hoe on the ground and stepped forward to dig.
Huang Yixian was worried that he would destroy the body by digging indiscriminately, so he hurriedly stepped forward to give instructions and told him that he had to dig out all the blood and soil around the entire coffin first, so that the coffin and the body could be lifted out together.
In fact, if several people work together, it can be done very quickly, because this coffin is too small. It is called a coffin, but it is actually a long wooden box made of wooden boards. It occupies not much area.
It's not that big, not to mention that the few young men before have dug out a section. However, now that Fatty Niu is the only one doing it, I'm afraid it will take some time to complete it.
Fatty Niu just buried his head in digging in the soil and didn't seem to care about what was lying in the coffin. I don't know if he ever glanced into the coffin, let alone if he felt scared. In short, I was completely shocked by him.
Is this guy still the fat guy I knew before? Just now, when I told him about being a lowly man and being possessed by evil spirits, he was scared to death, but now he actually dares to dig this evil grave alone.
As someone once said, being poor is not terrible. The terrible thing is to remain poor! Presumably, as long as there is something that can help Fatty Niu escape from poverty, even if it is only temporary, he will do it without hesitation, because for him,
Perhaps nothing frightened him more than continued poverty.
Although he always behaves cowardly, he is actually not as cowardly as he appears on the surface. At least he can overcome the fear in his heart, which is enough to show that his inner strength exceeds that of most people, including me.
, because now, because I am afraid of Huang Yixian, when my brother needs help the most, he cowardly hides behind the crowd.
Fatty Niu swung the hoe vigorously. Under the scorching sun at noon, within a moment, he was already covered in sweat and was still breathing heavily. His physical fitness was not very good to begin with. At this rate,
If I kept on working, I would probably run out of strength sooner or later. I finally couldn't bear it anymore and I didn't know where I got the courage. I shouted, "Fat man! I'm here to help you."
I pulled off the clothes that had been covering my face and jumped into the pit. In fact, not many people were still covering their faces with towels or clothes, because the smell had almost dissipated, not to mention
The weather was still so hot, so I kept covering my head with clothes. It was so hot that I couldn't breathe smoothly, and my head was still covered with sweat. It was because I was afraid of being discovered by Huang Yixian that I kept covering my head with clothes.
Now that I finally took off my clothes, I felt refreshed. However, the moment my eyes met Huang Yixian's shocked and angry eyes, I immediately regretted it.
At this point, I had no choice but to walk up to Huang Yixian and timidly shouted: "Uncle Master!"
"You brat, why are you here?"
Huang Yixian's eyes were so bright that I didn't dare to raise my head to take another look at him.
"I...I'm here to find my classmate, that's him! Who would have thought that I would meet him here..." I pointed at Fatty Niu while burying my head in nonsense.
Huang Yixian's face was livid, but with so many people around, it was hard for him to get angry. After all, I was helping to do good things. You can't say that because I am his nephew, I am not allowed to do this work. In this case, I'm afraid it's just
It will cause greater panic.
He didn't speak for a long time. Li Changshui, who was standing aside, obviously didn't notice that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He handed over a hoe and said: "Great, I was thinking that this kid can't finish the job by himself. Finally, someone is willing to help.
Got it." He said, taking out two more hundred-dollar bills, "Here, here are the wages for working."
I quietly raised my head and glanced at Huang Yixian, not daring to reach out to take it. I was thinking about how Huang Yixian would reject Li Changshui on my behalf. Unexpectedly, Huang Yixian took the two hundred-dollar bills from Li Changshui and turned around to face him coldly.
I said: "I will collect the money for you, go to work!"
I was stunned for a moment and couldn't believe it. Huang Yixian actually agreed. Is this true?
Seeing that I didn't respond, Huang Yixian shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Work quickly! Don't waste time!"
Only then did I react, quickly took the hoe from Li Changshui, and helped Fatty Niu dig together.
My "righteous action" surprised Fatty Niu, and he said gratefully: "Boss, thank you for coming, otherwise I don't know if I would have been able to finish the job!"
I cursed angrily: "You are so fucking crazy, how dare you do this job!"
"I can earn two hundred yuan! That's enough for my dad and I to pay for food for a month. I just dig some dirt and it's all for nothing!" When he mentioned money, Fatty Niu immediately showed a look of joy on his face.
.
I was a little helpless and sighed: "You really cherish your money as your life! Hey! Anyway, I was hurt by you. If I go back tonight, my buttocks will probably bloom again."
"Why?" Fatty Niu didn't know what was going on.
I glared at him: "Stop asking so many questions and get to work quickly!"
While digging the earth, I secretly glanced into the coffin. Although I was prepared, I was still shocked. Sure enough, as Huang Yixian said, the body was not rotten at all, although the skin on the face had shrunk.
The body has shriveled up, but the face is still clear-cut, and a pair of eyes are actually open, with a pair of black and shiny eyeballs protruding. No matter which angle you look at, it feels like you are being stared at by him.
, it was really scary. No wonder those guys were so scared.
However, Fatty Niu seemed to have no feeling at all. There was no look of fear on his face. I couldn't help but admire him even more, and secretly sighed: "This guy's heart is too strong!"
The timid and fearful look you usually have is just an act!"
The two of us dug for more than half an hour, and finally dug out the entire coffin from the blood and soil.
Li Changshui asked people to find a cart. Fatty Niu and I were about to lift the coffin onto the cart, but Huang Yixian stopped us. He motioned us to stand aside first, then walked to the coffin and looked inside carefully.
After a while, he actually put a hand into the coffin. I watched with horror, and a terrifying scene immediately appeared in my mind: Huang Yixian's body was suddenly dragged into the coffin by a mysterious and powerful force.
