this is not a joke

Chapter 509 Confirming the identity of the deceased

At the same time as he heard this weird song, Wei An's brush trembled slightly, but fortunately, his handwriting was ugly, so it didn't matter if it was crooked.

On the contrary, Wei An felt that the crooked movement made the word have a charm that he couldn't appreciate in the past.

He glanced at it smugly, then reached out and closed the door of the residence.

It is said in the "Notes" that when you hear a strange singing, don't sing along, so you must not go to find out.

It's best to keep the singing out of the way.

Wei An continued to write, but after closing the door, only a little light from the lantern outside entered the door of the room, and the light was very dim, so he had to move closer to the workbook to prevent his writing from skipping.

But the singing outside can still be heard in the ear.

It sounded like someone was singing an opera, because the singing had the charm of an opera, and it was a female voice.

Of course, Wei An is not sure whether the singer is a man or a woman, because in many operas, the pitch is high and sharp, and it is impossible to tell the gender of the other party.

The voice appeared in front of the lobby at first, swaying slowly, unhurriedly, and after singing for a few minutes, it slowly passed through the front yard and came to the passage leading to the back yard.

The singing continued, because it was closer to Wei'an's residence, so Wei'an could hear it more clearly, and closing the door didn't work at all.

Time passed by, and the singing sound passed through the dark passage. Wei An looked up through the closed door and glanced outside. The singing sound was still in the dark passage, but he couldn't see anything.

Then Wei An lowered his head, ignored it, and continued to write the workbook.

At this moment, it wasn't that he encountered the singing while patrolling, so he didn't think about turning around three times in the same place, because the current situation is different from the situation described in the "Notes".

The singing was getting closer and closer, and it could not be restrained to drill into the ears, making people feel ups and downs. Wei An quickly put down the brush, and then moved the wooden table behind the door to block the door.

At this time, not only could he hear the singing, but he could also hear a faint sound of footsteps approaching.

Not long after, the voice passed by the door of his residence and walked towards the direction of the hut.

The singing echoed ethereally, and after another two or three minutes, it disappeared directly from the hut, and then it did not reappear.

"This opera singer also wants to go to the latrine?"

Wei An had already finished writing the workbook at this time, muttering to himself, he tidied up the finished workbook and put it aside.

He didn't dare to go out again, worried that he would bump into something unclean again, so he just lay down on the hard plank bed, closed his eyes and squinted for a while.

It was estimated that it would be almost an hour, so he sneakily opened the door and took a look outside. After finding nothing abnormal, he ran to the corner outside the hut and replaced the burning incense with a new one.

So soon dawn came.

After the sky brightened, Wei An went to the hut for convenience, and saw nothing unusual during the period, and went to the room on the other side of the hut to have a look. There was a small kitchen there.

He was a little speechless about the layout of these buildings. A large hut was placed in the middle, with bedrooms and kitchens on both sides. It seemed that this hut was the main building.

But last night the singing disappeared in the hut, although there was nothing unusual during the day, Wei An had to be on guard.

At five o'clock, Wei An went to patrol again, but nothing unusual happened this time.

When it was full daylight, he found a large number of tools in the kitchen, and also found a crock full of kerosene.

Take the kerosene and go to the lobby, add some oil to the still burning kerosene lamp, and then put the door repair tools found by the lobby door.

Soon some broken coffin boards were found from the innermost corner of the lobby. Although these coffin boards gave off a strange smell, they could still be used as temporary doors.

Although he hadn't done any carpentry work before, after careful research, Wei An was sure that he could install a simple door to get out. Don't worry about whether the coffin board can be symmetrical up and down. As long as it can block the draft, don't blow out the kerosene lamp That's fine.

During this period, he found that the coffins in the lobby were different.

He had manually closed the lid of the second coffin containing the corpse before, but at this moment he found that the lid had opened by itself, and the opening gap was exactly the same as yesterday.

Last night, when he passed by here during the night patrol, he heard movement in the lobby, which may be the sound caused by the opening of the coffin lid.

It seems that the lid of the coffin does not need to be closed, otherwise the people lying inside may be unhappy.

Wei An didn't pay any attention to it anymore, because of unfamiliar reasons, it took him half a day to barely install two coffin boards on the door of the lobby. During this period, he finally felt hungry and went to the kitchen to light a fire to cook. Cooked rice, pour some lard and soy sauce, and eat bibimbap directly.

In the second half of the day, Wei An returned to the lobby. This time, he wanted to confirm the identities of the three corpses so as not to make a mistake.

Judging from the time when I entered the ghost talk, if the rules of the ghost talk want to ensure the continuity of time, the next participant will not be allowed to enter after the previous participant has left or failed for a few days.

Otherwise, the entire strange story cannot be continued, so the time I came in must be the time when the last participant left or failed.

This period will not be too long apart.

The female corpse named Liu Hongmei entered the village for one day, so today is the second day, the male corpse Wang Yuanwai also entered the village for the first day, this is the second day, the male corpse Old Man Xia entered the village for the second day, today is the third day.

In other words, someone should come over to pick up Old Man Xia's male corpse today and bury it.

If no one came to pick him up after today, then he had to bury him in the mass grave behind Yizhuang within the specified time.

He first came to the first tightly closed coffin, the lid of which was completely closed.

Standing at the position of the deceased's head, Wei An pushed the coffin lid with both hands, there was an ear-piercing rubbing sound, and a puff of foul air rushed out from the coffin, Wei An was already prepared and was in a state of holding his breath.

So although the turbidity was unbearable, he was not affected too much. Looking at the light from outside the house and the light of the oil lamp, he found that an old man was lying in the coffin, his face was full of wrinkles, and his clothes Simple, short in stature, with an abnormal yellow skin, as if he had suffered from extremely serious liver disease during his lifetime.

The old man's age before his death should be around seventy. According to the workbook, he died of illness.

Glancing at the sky outside, Wei An didn't know if anyone would come to pick up the dead for burial.

But no matter what, I must be fully prepared, and if no one comes to pick me up, I have to get this old man surnamed Xia to be buried in the back in time.

Then he walked to the second coffin that had been opened again. This coffin was very strange. Last night, he opened the closed coffin lid again. Since only the old man Xia died of illness, the remaining two coffins were naturally The corpses inside are murderous.

The corpse in the second coffin was a bit weird, so Wei An didn't intend to open the coffin lid completely, but took the kerosene lamp, moved it to the three-finger-wide gap that opened by itself, and looked inside .

Under the oil lamp, a purple woman's face appeared in front of her eyes. This person should be Liu Hongmei, with an ordinary appearance. Her skin below the neck was pale and her flesh was slightly shrunken, but her cheeks were purple red, as if her whole head was covered with blood. , and the left side of the lip is slightly split, revealing the upper and lower four white teeth, which looks a little scary.

Wei An glanced at it, confirmed that it was Liu Hongmei, and immediately put the oil lamp back on the table, not disturbing the corpse anymore.

Then he came to the third tightly closed coffin, stretched out his hands and pushed the coffin lid at the position of the deceased's head, found that he was indifferent, and pushed with all his strength, but it still remained motionless.

Wei An was surprised, and after a closer look, he found that the lid of the coffin had been nailed with black coffin nails!

You must know that the deceased has not been buried now, and this coffin is also the property of Yizhuang. If someone comes to pick up the deceased, another coffin will be prepared, so the coffin here should not be nailed to the coffin, unless...

Wei An's heartbeat began to speed up, but now he knew without checking that the person in this coffin was Wang Yuanwai, who also died violently.

His eyes quickly focused on the black coffin nails, and he felt as if he had seen this thing before. He briefly recalled that when Binbin's father threatened his mother with Binbin in the mission "Lock the Door", the Spikes seem to be the thing!
"Binbin's father is holding coffin nails?!" Wei An was extremely surprised.

He immediately walked from the head of the coffin to the tail, counted the coffin nails driven into it, and found that there were fifteen of them, and there should have been sixteen in total, because there was a place where there should have been a coffin nail. is empty.
