C5 (2/2)
”Girl? Girl? ”What's wrong with you? Are you going to move or not?”
At this moment, the people I brought with me to help with the corpse interrupted my train of thoughts. I then realized that I had lost my mind and almost cried out in shock.
”Move... Move... Let's do it, thank you brothers. ”
I bowed to the men.
These people often carried coffins and had some strength. After all, they had to be careful when carrying coffins. From the beginning to the end, they couldn't land.
However, at this moment, the expressions of the few of them are also a little ugly. When we first found them, I told them that the deceased died miserably, and I even specially gave them more money.
But even so, when these people saw their adoptive father's corpse, they were all startled. They looked somewhat unwilling, but … Since he had already agreed, it would be inappropriate for him to go back on his words.
The few of them used a rope to tie up their foster father's corpse. This was the usual way of carrying a corpse. The corpse would leave the ground and directly enter the coffin.
At the start, everything went smoothly. The few of them lifted up the corpse and I stood in front while the others followed behind me while carrying the corpse.
However, just as we reached the entrance, a few people suddenly stopped in their tracks. Seeing the two people in the lead, I unexpectedly frowned.
Although the corpses were heavy, it was reasonable to say that there shouldn't be any problems when carrying a total of four people.
”What's wrong?”
I asked tentatively.
”Nothing, nothing …” Come on, let's go! ”
The man in the lead shouted, then gave a horn, as if he was trying hard to take that step, but at that moment, I heard a snap, then a bang, and the rope snapped, and the body fell to the ground.
The leader kneeled on the ground due to the powerful impact. He panted heavily. After recovering for a long while, he stood up. The men carrying the corpses had even more ugly expressions on their faces.
Of course, my face wasn't good either. I had brought this rope with me, and after careful examination, I found that the rope was very strong. Not to mention a corpse, even if there was one more, it would definitely be able to withstand it.
However, the rope was broken, and the foster father's body returned to its original position of licking the ground.
”Yes …” Is the body too heavy? ”
I was scared, but I didn't want to mix this kind of thing with the so-called supernatural. That would only make me more scared.
The corpse bearer's surname was Liu, he had helped people carry coffins from the age of twenty until now, and he was already in his forties. Although I called him big brother, he was actually around the same age as my foster father.
Because he had carried the coffin for too long, everyone in the village called him Liu Songxian, but in reality, they were expressing their longing for the dead.
”Little girl, you are just wasting your breath. You should understand this matter …” ”Your father seems unwilling to leave this room …”
Liu Songxian frowned, his voice was unnatural and trembling slightly.
Hearing Liu Songxian's words, my heart also started to feel apprehensive. From last night to now, strange things happened one after another, and as a profession, I naturally believed in the words of the gods and spirits. It's just that I'm not willing to admit it … He might have really seen a ghost …
”Maybe it's just that the rope has been placed for too long. It's so weathered, where did all these ghosts come from?”
To comfort myself, to comfort these people.
But at this time, Liu Songxian suddenly picked up the rope on the ground and said:
”Little girl, look at this rope. It's as if it was cut off. It doesn't look like it was snapped at all. There are some things that you have to believe in.”
Just as Half-Immortal Liu was speaking, I suddenly heard a crisp sound from another room, as if something was shattered …
