Today I was forced to resurrect again

As soon as the words "coffin board" came out, not to mention the two boys picking up firewood, even Teacher Su and Teacher Yang were frightened.

The two boys trembled and wanted to throw away the firewood in their hands, but then they thought that throwing away like this was disrespectful to the owner, then stopped, and said tremblingly: "Sister Hongyu, don't scare us... What does the coffin board look like?" We still know."

Of the logs they picked up, half of them kept the bark, and the other half had a smoother vertical section, like a wooden pile split in the middle, and the two boys also thought it was a nearby villager. The firewood left over from the picnic was just picked up, and no matter how you look at it, these logs have nothing to do with the processed and painted coffin. How could Su Hongyou say that this is a coffin board?

However, Su Hongyan told them: "This is indeed not a coffin board for adults, but for children."

The few people who heard her tell the origin of the Huanshan Field Tomb outside the Shuiguan Temple understood immediately. The two boys were not there at the time, so they still didn't understand what Su Hongja said.Su Hongyou could only use it and then explained to them: After the death of a child in Huanshan, the body must be sealed with wooden boards on the same day, and buried immediately the next day. Only children are like this, but adult women do not need it. What is it specifically? No one can explain the statement clearly.

The question is how can a normal person keep a small coffin at home at all times?

Few people want their children to die early, so they don't prepare coffins in advance. This leads to the fact that if something unexpected happens, it's okay during the day, but at night, the family doesn't have enough time to prepare a small coffin. of.

Therefore, they could only use split wooden stakes to "manufacture" a simple coffin in the fastest time to seal the child's body.

"Then is it possible that this is the leftover firewood after others split it?" The two boys were pale, but they still wanted to struggle, "We didn't see any tombstones or graves where we found the wood. "

"That's right, I'll take a closer look." Su Hongzi pondered for a few seconds after hearing the words, then nodded, "Maybe I was wrong."

She stepped forward and picked up a piece of firewood from their arms, gently stroked the smooth vertical section of the firewood with her fingertips, and finally stopped at the end of the firewood and said, "There seems to be traces of nails going through here."

Teacher Su came to her side to observe with her, nodded after 2 minutes and said: "Yes, there is also the rust red after iron rusts."

Those rusty reds have already soaked into the wood grain, even if the firewood is covered with mud, this layer of rusty red is difficult to be suppressed, obviously it is not a trace that can appear in a day or two, so this small coffin should have some The years have passed, and they have been buried in the ground over time. The nails that sealed the coffin were gradually rusted by the rain and damp bubbles. The two boys found these logs in the back hill. Compared with the front hill full of earth-covered graves , that one is relatively normal, there are no tombstones and wild graves in a radius of about [-] meters as far as the eye can see.

The place where the wood is located is under a small cliff half a meter high. Probably a heavy rain in the mountain one day washed away the mountain where the small coffins were buried. Find the boy with firewood.

Afraid that the two boys would not believe it, Su Hongyang was still looking for other evidence: "There may be nails nailed to it in other wood, let's look for it, and if we find it, it will be a coffin..."

"You don't need to look for it..." the two boys said weakly, how could there be iron nails on ordinary wood, "let's return the wooden... no, the small coffin to its original place."

"It's time to go back. Do you remember the way?" Su Hongjae asked them, "Do you want me to accompany you? Huanshan Mountain is very big, and it will be troublesome if you get lost."

Listening to what she said, Gu Rong felt that the biggest trouble might not be getting lost, but that there are too many wild tombs here, and the psychological pressure on people is also great.

Teacher Yang stood up and said, "Forget it, Miss Su, you'd better have a good rest, I'll just go with them."

Teacher Su also persuaded Su Hongyan to stay. After all, Teacher Yang is a boy, and he is not afraid of ghosts. He is stronger than ordinary girls in terms of physical strength and courage. It is better to let him accompany the two boys.

In fact, Gu Rong is also very courageous, as she readily accepted to stay in 714 for cleaning in the middle of the night.This kind of courage and determination is probably only Shen Qiuji who can compete with her among the people present.

However, Teacher Yang is the teacher of the two boys, and he is the one who should accompany the two boys to return the coffin slab, so Su Hongzi opened her lips, but in the end she suppressed her self-recommendation I just stared blankly at my fingertips stroking the vertical section of the coffin board, and there was an indescribable sadness and pity in my eyes.

Teacher Yang accompanied the two boys to return the coffin boards, and the rest stayed to light the fire and eat normally.

Chen Jin, Xie Zihan Lu Xiaoyu, Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji ate together, and Shen Qiuji even secretly started a small stove, asking Gu Rong to watch over him, drawing some condiments out of thin air, not to mention, and even making a A bottle of 1L Fat House Happy Water.

Xie Zihan stared straight at him, saying that Shen Qiuji is really amazing, he was able to climb to the top of the mountain with such a big bottle of Coke on his back, no wonder he has such a good relationship with Gu Rong.

Originally, Gu Rong, who knew the truth, pursed his lips when he saw this, but just smiled and said nothing, but after hearing Xie Zihan's last sentence, he always felt that something was wrong, and he also thought that Xie Zihan was driving, but he had no proof.

And when Chen Jin heard that Xie Zihan was praising Shen Qiuji, he became unhappy, and asked Xie Zihan if he was not good?Xie Zihan yelled again, "My dear husband, you are the best", Chen Jin was coaxed, and the two laughed together, you feed me rice, I feed you chicken, both Shen Qiuji and Gu Rong looked greasy. Holding the rice and meat in place, Lu Xiaoyu had already gone elsewhere shouting "yue".

Gu Ronghe raised his head, and exchanged a glance with Shen Qiuji beside him.

Gu Rong was asking Shen Qiuji like this with his eyes: Why don't we also eat at another place?Leave them alone.

But Gu Rong didn't know, what Shen Qiuji read from his eyes was: Chen Jin has already fed Xie Zihan, what should you do without me reminding you?

Shen Qiuji, who thinks that his kung fu of observing words and expressions is so proficient that he is close to ascension, understood in seconds. The corners of his lips curled up, and he put on a smile that he thought was the most charming and doting, and then confidently pinched a piece of the most tender chicken thigh with his hands, and put it on Coming to Gu Rong's lips, as if coaxing a cub to eat: "Rongbao, come and eat chicken, ah—"

Shen Qiuji going mad?

Or was he also possessed by the mirror fairy?

Gu Rong: "yue..."

Gu Rong couldn't hold back and also made a sound of vomiting.

Shen Qiuji: "?"

Shen Qiuji was very aggrieved, but soon he felt that he had found the reason for the failure of feeding - Gu Rong was obsessed with cleanliness, and the rice balls he ate were wrapped in banana leaves and would never stick to his hands. Feed Gu Rong with the chicken leg in his hand, no wonder Gu Rong doesn't eat it and feels sick.

Therefore, Shen Qiuji took a break from feeding for a while, and began to search for gloves, planning to wait until the disposable gloves were put on before continuing to feed Gu Rong to enhance his relationship.

In the end, the gloves were not found, and Lu Xiaoyu, who was disgusted by Chen Jin and Xie Zihan, came back again, and said with a sad face: "Why do I feel that Sister Hongyu seems to be sad now, but she was fine before, what happened? Why is she suddenly sad?"

It turns out that Lu Xiaoyu just left to observe his sweetheart.

Everyone didn't expect that Lu Xiaoyu would suddenly fall in love with Su Hongyang to such an extent, they all followed his words and looked at Su Hongyang together.

Su Hongyan is still exactly as Lu Xiaoyu said, sitting alone in a corner at the moment, frowning tightly, holding rice balls in her hands, eating mouthfuls one by one, she doesn't know the taste, she casually eats two mouthfuls and then enters the water gate Temple, probably went to talk to the Taoist priest.

Shen Qiuji just glanced at it and said firmly: "It must be because I saw those coffin boards."

"Is it so sad to see the coffin board?" Lu Xiaoyu sighed, "Sister Hongyu is really kind."

But Gu Rong could hear Shen Qiuji's overtones, and asked him, "Is there something wrong with the coffin board?"

Sure enough, Gu Rong and him had a sympathetic heart, Shen Qiuji looked at Gu Rong, and said softly: "The vertical section of the coffin board is too smooth."

Although Gu Rong felt that Shen Qiuji seemed a bit strange today, his ability to think about problems was still at a level. Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji had experienced so many things together, and other people's brains turned quickly. Shen Qiuji reminded him After thinking for a few seconds, he completely understood what Shen Qiuji meant.

But the two of them agreed, but Chen Jin, Xie Zihan, and Lu Xiaoyu couldn't understand what charades they were playing, and asked curiously: "The coffin board is smooth if it is smooth, isn't it good?"

"Do you still remember what Su Hongyan said just now?" Gu Rong had no choice but to explain to them, "The children who died prematurely here must seal their bodies with wooden boards on the same day and bury them immediately the next day. To put it simply, Picture a word 'quick'."

But normal people don’t want their children to die early, so it is impossible to prepare small coffins for sealing the corpses of children who died early at home. All small coffins are temporarily made by splitting wood after the child dies. Crude and shoddy, just ask for the word "fast".

Anyone who has split wood knows that the vertical section of a wooden post split directly with an axe, no matter how sharp the axe is, the vertical section will not be very smooth, and there will be many fine burrs no matter what.

Of the few people present, probably only Shen Qiuji had split wood, so he could see at a glance that something was wrong with those coffin boards - the vertical section that Su Hongzi touched with her fingers was too smooth.

So the small coffin must have been polished twice and prepared in advance.

In other words, the person who prepared this coffin must have known that the child would "inevitably" die early, or in other words, be able to ensure that the child would die early.

Of course, it is not impossible. The parents of the child in this small coffin polished the coffin a second time because they loved the child deeply. They hoped that the coffin where the child slept on the road would be better. Impossible not even a tombstone.

"Su Hongyan is a local here, she knows this better than us, so she must be so sad when she saw the coffin board." After Gu Rong told Chen Jin, Xie Zihan and Lu Xiaoyu about his guess, But I felt that my mood seemed to be infected by Su Hongzi, heavy and sad, "Looking at Su Hongzi's expression, maybe this is not the first time she has seen such a thing."

And there is a high probability that the owner of that small coffin is a baby girl.

Lu Xiaoyu also stayed for a long time after listening to it, and when he came back to his senses, he said angrily: "What kind of fucking burial is this? This is murder! I'm going to call the police!"

"I guess there are quite a few cases of this kind at the Huanshan Police Station, but those five years ago should be difficult to solve." Shen Qiuji said, his deep eyes were dark and dull, like five years ago Before the dark night in Huanshan Village, "Su Hongya also said that Huanshan was not classified as a resort at that time, and there were even many places in the village without electricity. It is a custom in this village. Even if some villagers see it, will some villagers say it? You saw it on our way up the mountain. Compared with people like Su Hongja, more villagers think it is a thing It's a normal thing."

In other words, something that cannot be dug deep.

Because there are too many villagers doing this kind of thing, before the government came five years ago, this was the custom of Huanshan Village, and it was so common to the villagers that it required the government to ban it in order to put an end to most of the things.

They also don't know how long and how the owner of the small coffin passed away. Everyone can only try their best to think that she may have been weak after birth and died naturally-this is also very ironic. When a child under one year old His death, even if it is a natural death, has become the common hope of everyone at this moment.Because no one wants to think about how painful it would be if she didn't die naturally.

Lu Xiaoyu, Chen Jin, Xie Zihan and the others were really hard to swallow this time. They had no worries about food and clothing since they were young. Even if they came to Huanshan Hot Spring Resort, they thought the scenery here was good and the villagers were enthusiastic, but they didn’t expect it to be here. Such a past.

The few people were silent, and Lu Xiaoyu, who couldn't bear the atmosphere, looked around and found that they were almost finished eating, and the two boys who were going to deliver the coffin boards and Teacher Yang hadn't come back yet, so they couldn't help saying, "Why is Yang?" Teacher, they haven’t come back yet? Was the place where they collected firewood far from us?”

Teacher Su also had the same doubts. She asked strangely: "Mr. Yang and the others are really lost, right?"

As a result, after Teacher Su finished speaking, a girl said in fear: "Didn't we hear that male villager say on the way here that Shuiguan Temple was turned into evil spirits to suppress the women and children buried here? When Chen Gang and Huang Jiashen saw the coffin board, wouldn't the child in the coffin board be sealed..."

Chen Gang and Huang Jiashen are the names of the two boys who picked up the coffin board.

As soon as she finished speaking, she was reprimanded by Teacher Su: "Don't talk nonsense, Teacher Yang and the others may just get lost."

However, both Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji felt that this girl might not be talking nonsense.

Because Mr. Su wanted to call Mr. Yang, but when he dialed the phone, he got the response of "the user you dialed is not in the service area".

"I'll go find them." Shen Qiuji raised his hand and volunteered, "I've lived in the mountains since I was a child, and I'm very good at finding my way. Teacher Su, I'll just go find them."

But Teacher Su was worried that Shen Qiuji would go alone, she frowned and said, "Find some boys to go with you."

Teacher Su actually wanted to ask Su Hongzi, who just said she knew the way, to accompany Shen Qiuji, but she looked around, but she didn't see Su Hongzi.

Gu Rong was also about to say that he was going with Shen Qiuji, but Shen Qiuji shook his head and refused: "No, I can go alone. If I don't come back after 15 minutes, the teacher should call the police, because then Maybe I got lost too, too many people get lost and more people get lost."

Teacher Su was not persuaded by Shen Qiuji, and still disagreed.

Gu Rong also asked him: "I'll go with you, why don't you want me to go with you? We can't be separated, can we?"

The last sentence "We can't be separated" greatly pleased Shen Qiuji, if not for the crowds around, Shen Qiuji would have raised his arms to hug Gu Rong, and answered him "Yes, yes, we will never be separated".

It's just that today is special, and the place where they are is also very special.

So Shen Qiuji and Gu Rong said: "It's fine for me to go alone. After I'm not here, you can go to Shuiguan Temple and stay there. If you hate the red thread bell, I will leave it to you. Nothing will happen to you in the Taoist temple. After all, you My physique is a bit special, I'm afraid that if you follow me...the situation will be more difficult."

It was the last sentence that convinced Gu Rong.

Indeed, it is definitely not a problem for Shen Qiuji to defend himself alone, if he is added, Shen Qiuji will be distracted from protecting him, and if he goes together, it may make the situation worse.

So Gu Rong frowned, and told Shen Qiuji: "Then be careful."

"Okay." Shen Qiuji nodded, "No accident will happen to me."

But this is not something you can stop worrying about by saying "I won't have an accident". Gu Rong was upset and anxious, and finally said sullenly: "You should first think about how to persuade Teacher Su to agree to you to go to Teacher Yang and the others alone. .”

Shen Qiuji didn't dare to say that even if I bring other people to find someone, it might be better than taking you, so I just nodded as an agreement.

Just at this time, a Taoist priest came to the back mountain to collect firewood, Teacher Su hurried over to tell the Taoist priest what had happened, and asked the Taoist priest to accompany Shen Qiuji to find Chen Gang, Huang Jiashen and Teacher Yang.

After all, Shuiguan Temple is on the top of Mount Huan. The Taoist priest who lived here and practiced all the year round should know the way better, but the Taoist priest immediately agreed when he heard that someone was missing, and immediately set off with Shen Qiuji to find someone.

And in the mountains behind Huanshan, Teacher Yang, Chen Gang, and Huang Jiashen who went to return the coffin boards were indeed lost.

Mountains are generally shaded on one side and sunny on the other, as is the case with Mount Huan.

They climbed the mountain from the sunny side, and the back side is the shady side, so the back side of the mountain is colder and wetter than the front side. The more the three of them walked to the back side of the mountain, the more they felt this damp and cold atmosphere.

Like a layer of invisible water mist, it enveloped them layer by layer, and the thick moisture floated into the nose and inhaled into the lungs, and then the whole body became cool, a bit like... buried under the damp and cold soil , There is a suffocating feeling.

Chen Gang was so frightened by his brain that he shivered. Goosebumps on his arms covered his neck all the way. He wanted to rub his arms to smooth these downcast hairs, and he also wanted to tighten his body to retain some warmth. I moved, but remembered that I was still holding a few coffin boards in my hands, and I was even more scared to understand.

Huang Jiashen, who was walking side by side with him, was even more frightened than him, his teeth began to chatter up and down, and the sound of the impact made one's heart tremble.

Teacher Yang, who was walking behind them, asked, "Isn't it there yet? We've been gone for almost 15 minutes, right?"

"I remember it was near here." Chen Gang said with a sullen face, "Why haven't you come?"

Huang Jiashen took his words and said, "I feel like we've been going around in circles..."

"Maybe we are going in the wrong direction." Teacher Yang stretched his neck and glanced at the front. The road ahead is very flat, and he couldn't see what Chen Gang and Huang Jiashen said. They picked up the small cliff of the coffin board, so Teacher Yang suggested , "Why don't we go back first, we may get lost if we go forward, and return the coffin board after we go back and find someone who is familiar with the terrain here."

Chen Gang and Huang Jiashen couldn't wait for this proposal.

Hearing this, he immediately turned around and was about to go back, but the moment the two of them turned their heads together, they saw Teacher Yang facing them with a pair of chubby little hands covering his eyes, and there were four dimples on the backs of these little hands. , very cute, but the color of the small hands is bluish white, and there are a few corpse spots on them-obviously, these are not a pair of living hands.

"What's wrong?" Teacher Yang, whose eyes were covered by small hands, was still talking to them normally, with a calm tone as if he didn't know that his eyes were covered by a pair of ghost hands, "What are you looking at me for?"

Chen Gang and Huang Jiashen were still holding the coffin board in their hands. The two of them just froze in place when they saw this scene, and did not let out a horrific scream. It was already to the extent that Gu Rong wanted to call him a "warrior" when he saw this scene, which shows his psychological quality Pretty good.

The two looked at each other, and found that there was something wrong with each other's expressions. They guessed in their hearts that maybe the other party had seen the same scene as themselves. They wanted to rub their eyes hard and take a closer look to see if their eyes were wrong, but Now that they have something in their hands, they can only give up rubbing their eyes and blink vigorously instead. Before they open their eyes, they hear a lazy and wanton male voice: "Teacher Yang, so you are here."

Chen Gang and Huang Jiashen opened their eyes at the same time. They first took a look at Mr. Yang, and found that the little hand covering his eyes had disappeared. It was as clean as if the scene just now was their hallucination. Then they looked at the source of the sound in a daze. Direction - Shen Qiuji and a person dressed as a priest came over.

Shen Qiuji stepped forward with folded arms: "You haven't come back for a long time, Teacher Su thought you were lost, and asked me and the Taoist priest to come and look for you."

Chen Gang didn't know if it was his own illusion, he always felt that after Shen Qiuji and the Taoist priest appeared, the surrounding temperature became warmer and drier, not as cold and humid as before when the three of them were there.

Teacher Yang also explained to Shen Qiuji, and thanked the Taoist priest, "It's not lost if you get lost, but we didn't find out where the cliff is. It seems that there is no signal here and the phone can't be reached. I'm afraid you are worried, so you want to go back first and forget it. I am really sorry to let the Taoist priest come with you."

However, Shen Qiuji's expression was a bit complicated after hearing Teacher Yang's words: "You guys, didn't you see the little cliff?"

What Shen Qiuji said was "seeing", not "finding".

Although there is only one letter difference between these two words, their meanings are naturally different. Chen Gang and Huang Jiashen, who are highly nervous now, immediately recognized the peculiarity of Shen Qiuji's words.

Huang Jiashen asked him tremblingly, "Have you seen the little cliff?"

"Yes." Shen Qiuji nodded, pointed his chin to a place about seven or eight steps behind them and said, "Isn't the little cliff right there?"
