Chapter 35 Another Empty Coffin

A Lang led me slowly to Doctor Wang's grave. The tombstone on the grave was very new.

But I suddenly grabbed his hand: "Ah Lang..."

She clasped his fingers tightly, trembling slightly.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

The expression on his face was still calm and calm.

I saw A Lang walk slowly to the earthen mound behind the tomb, with his legs slightly apart, and he closed his eyes heavily.

Immediately afterwards, he opened his eyes suddenly, and the originally black pupils were instantly coated with a layer of yellowish brown, shining like an opal.

He raised his hand slowly, and sharp nails grew out of his fingertips like steel knives. That strong arm became twice as big as usual, almost tearing through his clothes.

He waved his hand vigorously in the air, as if someone had pressed the password to open it, and after a "bang", a long hole was split in the middle.

After a few seconds of planting, the cracked hole gradually widened, as if it couldn't stand the high temperature baking, there were more and more holes, and the whole soil bag quickly cracked.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed through the gaping opening, and the strong light burned my eyes.

But before I had time to see all this clearly, the tomb suddenly parted from the middle, and Dr. Wang's coffin had already appeared in front of my eyes.

There was almost no soil on the coffin, and it was as new as if it had just been buried.

I tightly pulled the corner of A Lang's clothes, suppressing my beating heart, fearing that something terrible would happen.

However, when the grave was separated, I could clearly smell the moisture of the soil blowing towards my face.

The fear in my heart made me inexplicably nervous. On the one hand, I hoped to see Dr. Wang's body, so that it could show that Dr. Wang's death might be different from Aunt Li's.

But, on the other hand, I was afraid of seeing Dr. Wang's body, because those bloody images in the morning were still in my mind, and I couldn't get them out of my mind.

"Ah Lang, are you going to open the coffin?"

I asked a little timidly, the voice was so soft that I couldn't even hear myself clearly.

"My lady, you hide behind me."

Alang pulled me and hid me firmly behind him.

I pressed against his back tightly, as if only such a cold body could calm down the boiling fear in my body.

After a while, I saw a strong arm slowly raised and swung down quickly from the air. There was a sharp sound in my ear, like the sound of a sharp blade sawing wood.

After the sharp sound, there was a sudden "bang", followed by a dull sound.

My body couldn't help trembling slightly, and I slowly poked my head out from behind Ah Lang.

Unexpectedly, I saw that Dr. Wang's coffin had been split in two, and the cut part in the middle was very neat.

Under the full moonlight, I saw that there was nothing in that coffin...

My head exploded with a bang, looking at the empty coffin, my fear was like a soft and cold snake, spitting out a letter, and crawling up my trousers.

"It's not what I expected."

After a long time, Ah Lang said indifferently, and slowly pulled me into his arms.

Leaning in his cold arms, my nervousness slowly eased.

"It seems that Doctor Wang's body was also ghosted like Aunt Li..."

Before I finished speaking, A Lang shook his head in disapproval.

"How do you know it was done by the mirror ghost? I think it's man-made."

After Ah Lang finished speaking, his cold eyes slowly locked onto my face, and my heart suddenly tightened.

A cold wind rushed straight into my neck, making me shiver with cold.

"Man-made?" Panicked for a moment, I stared blankly at A Lang's face.

He thought for a while, then looked around, and after looking around, he said to me: "Look around, there is no trace of incense, let alone a piece of Ming coin, don't you find it strange?"

At that moment, the hairs on my body stood on end in an instant, and a gust of cold air spread from the soles of my feet, penetrating into my internal organs and limbs without any effort.

I finally understand why I feel that this tomb is inappropriate...

The intense panic made my heart mess like broken glass, my body temperature dropped suddenly, and a layer of icy frost seemed to condense on my skin in an instant.

"You mean to say that those villagers didn't bury Dr. Wang's body at all, but buried an empty coffin?"

I felt like I was in a huge ice cellar, and when I spoke, my upper and lower teeth chattered.

The cold air penetrated deeply into my lungs like eyes.

Between exhalation and inhalation, I felt that I was about to lack oxygen.

"That's right, do you still remember Aunt Li's grave? At that time, they buried the coffin and left without offering a stick of incense or burning a coin, because at that time, Aunt Li's grave and Dr. Wang's It’s like a tomb, there is no body buried in it.”

After Ah Lang finished speaking, he bent down slowly and moved his fingers lightly. The shroud in the coffin moved, but he still couldn't see anything.

I nodded, no wonder at that time, Susu and I were kneeling in front of the grave, we always felt strange, but we also told what was so strange.

It wasn't until this moment that I discovered that it was not a simple burial at all, but a deliberate cover-up.

However, why did Su Su go to dig a grave?

A thought suddenly flashed in my mind, and then I quickly raised my hand to hold down my beating heart, "Could it be that the mirror ghost controlled Susu to dig the grave because he knew that there was no corpse in the coffin?"

"That's not necessarily the case, but it's also possible."

After Ah Lang finished speaking, he waved his hands, and the grave was miraculously closed again.

I was still in shock, and the beating heart seemed to be about to jump out of my throat.

A deep fear makes my scalp tingle, but I must remain calm.

"Ah Lang, what should we do next?"

I still asked him timidly, hoping he would forgive me for having lost my mind at all.

A Lang thought for a while, but didn't answer me directly.

A gust of wind blew, and his waist-length hair fluttered in the wind.

I took a step forward and held his sleeve tightly. At this moment, maybe only by following him can I feel a sense of security in my heart.

"The best way is to stand still."

With his back to me, he stood with his hands behind his back, and the moon white robe was gently swaying.

……

Several days passed in silence, and the people in the village still kept silent about the matter of the bronze mirror.

And I haven't told anyone about the empty coffin, but even so, I can still feel that this deliberate effort seems to represent something...

After a few days of buffering, Susu gradually walked out of the shadow of losing her mother.

After teaching the children every day, I always quietly observe Susu for a while.

Although she pretended to be okay, once she was alone, she seemed inexplicably sad.

Therefore, I never mentioned Aunt Li in front of Susu.

In the evening, Susu went to prepare dinner alone, and I offered to help her.

Susu waved her hand and said to me: "Yiyi, I'm almost ready, I just need to cook it, you'd better wait patiently."

Susu didn't let me do it, but I was a little embarrassed.

"I know I'm clumsy, but Susu, don't dislike me!"

I smiled embarrassingly, jokingly.

Susu took a deep look at me, thought for a while, and said: "There is really nothing that needs help here, but I ran out of water in the water tank just now when washing rice and vegetables. Bring some water."

"it is good."

I didn't even think about it, I nodded and agreed, and then walked to the back of the dormitory with the bucket in hand.

Speaking of which, I have lived here for so long, but I have never come here to fetch water.

Because almost every morning, Susu would prepare water and put it in the water tank for later use.

Two large water tanks are enough for our daily water consumption.

I walked to the back of the dormitory, and the surrounding area was very empty, and a well suddenly appeared in the middle.

The mouth of the well was glowing faintly, and I walked slowly towards the well.

I don't know why, but I always feel that this well looks a little different.

Before I had time to think about it, I gradually walked to the well.

Only then did I suddenly realize that the well was full and the mouth of the well was very low, as if it was within reach.

I slowly loosened the well rope, tied it to the barrel, and threw the barrel down.

I heard the sound of a barrel falling into the water, and I knew it was time to start fetching water.

But when I shook the handle vigorously, the well rope lightened, causing me to almost use too much force and fall into a somersault.

How is this going?

Didn't the well rope be tied tight just now, so the barrel fell?
I poked my head out in doubt and took a look into the well, but the strange thing was that the wooden barrel disappeared miraculously...

I suddenly took a breath, and an inexplicable fear hit my heart.

When I was about to ask Susu to help me, I suddenly heard a voice coming from the well: "Why did you take my soul away...I died so badly..."

At that moment, I doubted my ears, why is that voice so familiar...

When I looked into the well, the faint well water was glowing, and there was a face in the well water, and that face was Aunt Li!
She was staring at me with resentful eyes, and the mole on the corner of her mouth was particularly obvious. It was her... definitely her!
But why do I always feel that something is not right?

However, I couldn't think anymore, my legs were trembling with tension.

The hairs all over my body stood on end in an instant, and I felt the temperature around me suddenly drop, and a chill slowly penetrated from the skin, hitting my heart.

I never dreamed that Aunt Li's ghost would suddenly find me.

Suddenly, I found that Aunt Li's eyes were full of hatred, and she was looking straight at me, as if she was looking at an enemy she hated deeply.

I took a step back trembling, but she opened her bloody mouth at me, as if she wanted to swallow me whole.

The strong fear made me dare not look at the well again. I turned around quickly and ran to the kitchen with all my strength.

But even though I keep running hard, my body stays in place forever.

The cold sweat on my body fell like rain, and the pores all over my body were open, as if I was about to explode at any moment.

"Aunt Li, I didn't take your soul away..."

I explained loudly, but I found that the more I ran forward, the more my body was pulled back by an inexplicable force.

No, I looked back and found that my feet had already stepped on the edge of the wellhead, and I was about to be pulled into the well!
"Help me..."

I yelled, but just as the end of my voice was still stuck in my throat, that inexplicable force pulled me straight into the well...
