Chapter 31 Coffin Ditch

At the bottom of the coffin ditch, many dilapidated coffins and white skeletal remains of different ages are piled up, causing this ravine to always be filled with an eerie atmosphere.For many years, not only did the nearby villagers dare not go to Coffin Valley, but even the nearby poultry and animals seemed to be aware of the terror and would never go to this ravine to look for food.

Originally, as a native of the village, my aunt would not go to Coffin Valley.The strange thing is that that day, my aunt went up the mountain to cut firewood and met a little hare with an injured leg on the way. This guy was wandering crookedly in front of her, as if it was waiting for a hare that God had deliberately rewarded her with.

Looking at the rabbits that were within reach, my aunt remembered that her family had not eaten meat for a long time, so she had the urge to catch rabbits to improve the family's food.So she started to catch the rabbit. Unexpectedly, the rabbit was very cunning and escaped several times after almost succeeding.

This made my aunt even more unwilling, so after chasing her all the way, the injured rabbit actually took my aunt into the coffin ditch.When the aunt found herself in the coffin ditch, the rabbit had disappeared completely. Just when the aunt was surprised and frightened, she saw the dying Cat Lady and Heizi, so she stepped forward to save them without hesitation.

"The fact that you can see that rabbit means that you and I are destined. I told you that I can read fortunes. As the old saying goes, good fortune lies where misfortune lies, and good fortune lies where misfortune lies. Therefore, this coffin ditch is both a great evil and a great blessing. .Little girl, your helixes are withered and yellow, your ear vermilion is dull and black, and your ears are not polished. You should be a short-lived person. Yesterday, I did a fortune-telling for you. Today was the anniversary of your death, but now this coffin ditch can Save you, and I’ll give you your life!”

These words made my aunt very confused. Although she didn't understand the meaning of misfortune, blessing lies on it, and blessing, misfortune lies behind, she still understood the words that great misfortune means great blessing.

So, the aunt continued to ask: "Give me a life? Grandma Cat, stop joking. Your legs need to be checked at the hospital in the county. The snake venom has not been removed yet. If you don't go to the hospital, your legs will not be saved." , the cripple in the east of the village didn’t go to the hospital after being bitten by a snake, and that’s why he’s like this!”

"Hahaha, Xiao Nizi, I read it right, you have a good heart!"

From the moment my aunt saw her mother-in-law, she thought she was strange, and so did the black cat.It was completely black without any mottled color, and its eyes were always half-closed, and it rarely barked. It was not as alive as other cats in the village, and it looked like a dead thing.Therefore, when my aunt heard her mother-in-law tell her to call her Cat Grandma, she couldn't explain why for a while. After all, this person and the cat were very strange.

However, it is difficult to explain the fate between people clearly. Although they are very strange, my aunt has an indescribable sense of trust and familiarity with this mother-in-law and the black cat.When looking at them, my aunt always felt as if she was seeing relatives in her previous life. If it hadn't been for them, she would not have stolen things for them and was almost beaten to death by her brother-in-law.

But now her mother-in-law's words still made her confused. She still asked in confusion: "Mother-in-law, I don't understand what you said. This place is very evil. It doesn't give you life for anything. It's scary to hear it. I, I am now There’s nothing left to do, so let’s leave quickly.”

"Don't worry, little girl, nothing will happen to us. I can change your fate today! Did you see the big coffin wrapped in vines in front of you? It's the one under the big black tree in front. I calculated that you can take it. Once you get that thing, you can change your life against the odds and escape tonight's disaster!" The old lady said word by word.

"Changing fate against the will of heaven? What should I get??"

When she heard the words "change destiny against heaven", her aunt immediately understood what it meant. She had never read a book, but she had heard a lot of stories told by the old people in the village.Stories always mention treasures in the mountains that can change lives, including an old man who said that there are treasures in the village ancestral hall, and if you get them, you will be able to achieve prosperity and wealth.However, she knows that treasures are not so easy to get, otherwise wouldn’t everyone be able to enjoy the glory?
"The wooden box in the coffin is a rare treasure in the world. This place is extremely yin-qi. Only a person like you who is destined to die can pull those vines and open the coffin to get the treasure. I have tried to do it myself. I was almost killed by a venomous snake when I took it, which shows that the theory of destiny is trustworthy. With me here, you can go and get it without worry!" explained the cat grandma. "There are poisonous snakes there, I, I'm afraid, I don't dare to go!" My aunt timidly glanced at the big black tree, feeling more and more that the thing looked like the man-eating monster that the villagers said.

"Xiao Nizi, if you don't go, you will have to wait for death. Instead of being beaten to death or dying of poverty here, why not try to help yourself. Grandma swore on her own mother, you just go there to get things, I guarantee you will It’ll be okay!”

"Then, well, I believe you!" After saying that, the aunt gritted her teeth and walked towards the coffin.

Suddenly, Grandma Cat shouted: "Xiao Nizi, come back, wait for me to clear the way for you!"

After saying this, she saw Grandma Cat pick up her black cat and put her left finger into the black cat's mouth.I saw the always sick black cat, like a black snake with its tail stepped on, bite her finger with a "swipe".When the blood flowed out from the cat's mouth, Grandma Cat took out her fingers, put the black cat on the ground, and gestured at the big black tree in front of her.

In an instant, a bright moon appeared over the coffin ditch where the sun was hidden.At this time, I saw Grandma Cat wave her hands, and the black cat next to her with human blood on her mouth began to meow "Meow Meow Meow".Suddenly, the big black tree shook like an electric shock, and countless vines retreated like a tide, leaving a large, bare and broken coffin on the ground.

"Meow!" As the black cat let out a tragic cry, a strange red light emerged from the broken coffin.Then, many scorpions, centipedes, venomous snakes and other poisonous things kept popping out from the big broken coffin, which made my aunt almost wet her pants.

"It's okay now, go over and take out the things!" Seeing the red light in the coffin disappear, Grandma Cat said to her in a very weak voice.

Under the moonlight, my aunt saw Grandma Cat's face, as gray as a dead person.

My aunt felt a little distressed, so she didn't think too much and said, "Oh, okay!"

Then, dragging his trembling legs, he walked towards the broken coffin.She carefully opened the lid of the dilapidated coffin and saw that there was only a box wrapped in red cloth inside the coffin without bones.The box was about the size of a dustpan, and it felt light and weightless in my aunt's hand.

"Grandma Cat, I only saw this, what is it? Can I open it?" Auntie handed the box to Grandma Cat, but she refused to accept it.
