Chapter 8 The Hole in the Coffin
Remember [Flag
I reached out and touched it with curiously, and then I was surprised to find that the end of the thief hole was actually a wooden board. Based on the experience I came here last time and the color on the board, I judged that this should not be an ordinary wooden board, but a coffin board!
What shocked me even more was that there was a hole the size of a bowl on this coffin board, which led directly to the inside of the coffin!
Seeing the scene in front of me, my scalp immediately became a little numb and I couldn't help but swallow. I wondered to myself, would the second uncle have found the location of the coffin again through the stolen hole and then made a hole in the coffin board, but why did he make a hole in it? Could it be that he reached in? Looking at the dark hole on the coffin board in front of me, I couldn't help but feel frightened!
Back here, the incident of discovering Zhuo Chengyang's tablet here lingered in my heart again. Although I really want to know the tablet and the secret of this coffin, I really dare not try it if I let me reach out to explore the situation inside! Like my grandfather's one-arm exploration of Yin and Yang, I dare not try it rashly with my current half-baked level.
But a strong curiosity surged in my heart. After a moment of entanglement, I made up my mind. Although I didn’t dare to do it, I was already here and couldn’t even see it. So I raised my flashlight and shone it in at the black hole in the coffin.
When this comes, I will remember what my grandfather once told me, and the experience of my grandfather seeing a pair of eyes through the gap in the coffin. This incident left a shadow on me. Whenever I peek into the darkness through a small space, I will feel a strong fear.
This time, I plucked up my courage and looked inside through the holes in the coffin. Under the flashlight, I saw that the coffin was empty. I didn’t see anything except wood chips and dust. Not only was there no corpse, but there was no life pillow and rebirth quilt. This made me very strange! Is it an empty coffin here?
I approached a little closer again, almost pressed my face against the hollow of the coffin. I looked inside the coffin again, and when I was sure that I hadn't seen anything, I breathed a sigh of relief. Just as I was about to turn my head and come back, I suddenly saw a flashlight flash, and white light flashed through the coffin.
I was immediately startled and quickly moved my face out of the hole in the coffin. I calmed down and recalled the scene just now. Because the white light was too fast, I didn't see clearly what it was above. However, from the direction of its flow, the white light should have reached the position below the hole.
This situation made me feel very uneasy. This happened to be the blind spot for my observation. If the white light was really something, it would hide away from me now, but it would not be able to see it unless I leaned my head into the hole.
But this is impossible. Not to mention that the void is very small, my head cannot enter at all. Even if my head can enter, I would never dare to do this! But I was really unwilling to go out like this. After thinking for a while, I thought of an idea. I carefully turned my phone out of the photo mode, carefully probed the camera through the hole, and aimed at the position below, and then pressed the shutter! Due to nervousness, my hands that pressed the shutter were trembling a little.
As the flash flashed, I quickly pulled my phone back. I picked up the phone and opened a photo I took just now. But I just took a look and the cold sweat on my forehead instantly flowed down. I saw that a ball of white things in the photo was very tight from the lens. Due to the heavy shaking of hands and the light problem, the photo was very blurry. However, some of the patterns on the ball of white things still outlined some shapes, which seemed to be eyes and nose.
I felt my scalp start to feel numb. The white thing on this photo seemed to be a human face!!
In such a closed and narrow environment, I encountered such a thing and wanted to scream for a moment, but my mouth grew very big, but my throat seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't make any sound.
I felt all my hair blowing up, and the walls of the holes around me began to squeeze towards me, especially the black hole in the coffin in front of me, which made me suddenly feel suffocated. I began to go crazy, my emotions became extremely unstable, and I was on the verge of collapse if I accidentally started to retreat. I began to retreat like crazy. Because the holes were very narrow and I couldn't turn around, I could only walk backwards.
During this period, my mind was blank, and I kept pushing the ground back with my hands. I don’t know how long it took, but I felt the hole start to rise. After a while, I felt as soon as I loosened my legs and crawled backwards from the thief hole.
Sitting on the ground of the cellar, I gasped. While hammering my chest, I looked at the black hole entrance with lingering fear. Thinking of the scene just now, I was still very puzzled, why did the second uncle make a hole in the coffin?
Gradually, I calmed down. When I took out my phone again and looked at the very unclear photo, there was no shock at the beginning. I began to observe the white thing calmly. Although it was indeed very similar to a human face, the blurry image made me dare not be completely sure.
I secretly complained that I was too panicked. At that time, due to my fear of darkness in the hole, I had a psychological hint. When I saw the scene in the photo, I couldn't help but lose control. In fact, I had time to take more photos and find out. I couldn't help but sigh. Compared with my second uncle and others, my psychological quality was still too poor!
I looked at the dark hole and thought about whether to go down again, but after a struggle of thought, I gave up this idea.
I exited from the vegetable cellar, opened the flip boards in the utility room on the ground and walked out. At this time, the workers who were working in the ancestral home also began to pack up and prepare to get off work.
Fortunately, no one noticed where I was going, but the construction team leader saw the mud covered with strangeness, so I responded casually, "I accidentally fell down just now." Then he hurriedly left the ancestral home.
A few steps after walking out of the gate of the ancestral home, my cell phone suddenly rang. I saw that it was a call from Lantern Festival. As soon as I answered it, Lantern Festival's loud voice came out of the phone, "Damn! What are you doing in Lantern Festival! Why can't the phone be connected? I thought something happened to you!!"
"Okay, okay! Don't worry! I'm fine!" I said, "I was underground just now, and the phone has no signal!"
"Underground?" Yuanxiao asked strangely, "Where have you been?"
I looked at the area around me and replied softly: "It's the secret tomb underground in our ancestral home!"
"Catatomic chamber?" Yuanxiao asked in surprise: "Isn't the tomb below your ancestral home buried?"
"It's dug up again!" I replied.
"Who is it?"
"It should be my second uncle!"
"Your second uncle?" Yuanxiao said in surprise: "Didn't your second uncle lose contact again? Is he back? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure my second uncle has come back quietly."
Yuanxiao said with a "tsk" and said, "Your second uncle is amazing! I tell you, there must be good things in it, otherwise your second uncle can't..."
I knew that Lantern Festival started to move towards the underworld again, and I was in a very upset now, so I hung up the phone.
In a few seconds, Yuanxiao called back again, "Hey, why did you hang up the phone? I haven't said anything serious yet!"
I said angrily, "Then you can say quickly, I don't have time to listen to you nonsense now!"
Yuanxiao said: "I asked Yuan An's phone number from my grandfather, but you already know your second uncle's whereabouts. Is this phone number not available?"
I was about to nod my head, but my mind suddenly changed and said to Yuanxiao: "It's useless. In this way, Yuanxiao, you call Yuan An and tell him about the matter between us and Mr. Hong. The Yuan family has an extremely large network of relationships there, and is close to the Tan family. He must know what to do."
Lantern Festival responded and asked, "What do you want to do next?"
I sighed, "I don't know why my second uncle avoided me and returned to my ancestral home. What kind of secret is hidden here. I really want to get it out."
Yuanxiao was silent for a moment and asked, "Then how do you want to figure it out?"
I gritted my teeth and said, "I want to go back to the dungeon under the Zhuo family's ancestral tomb!"
Yuanxiao was obviously stunned on the phone, "How can you do it yourself! You forgot that we almost couldn't get out last time we went in!"
After being said by Yuanxiao, I was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, I still said, "I don't think the problem is big. I have been in once before, and I am familiar with the road this time. And I will not go deep into dangerous areas. My preliminary plan is to confirm whether my second uncle is there first!"
Yuanxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Zhuoran, I still think it's inappropriate. Please wait for me to come to find you! There is still a way for both of them."
I wanted to agree, but when I remembered what Sisi said to me, I said to Lanxiao: "It's okay, I can handle it myself. I don't know why such a bad thing is, so I can't choose it completely! I can't always drag you down! Don't worry about it this time, I will call you if you need it!"
"Fuck!" Yuanxiao cursed, "Who is using you to drag you down? I'm not just for helping you. I mainly think that dungeon is interesting, maybe there is something good."
