The quilt on my body could no longer protect me from the fear that hit me like a tide.
Along with a slight sound of footsteps, I could clearly feel that someone came to my bedside, but I didn't dare to stick my head out from the quilt, even to take a look, who came in?
"Eleven, it's time!"
My grandfather's voice came from outside the quilt. It sounded cold and almost emotionless.
If it weren't for the fact that I had just seen my grandfather during the day, I would have thought that he was dead. Now he came to me in the middle of the night, fearing that he wanted to take me away!
"Grandpa, when is the time?"
I stuck my head out from under the covers.
There were no lights on in the room, and when I looked over, my grandfather was just a black shadow, which was quite scary.
I quickly stretched out my hand to touch the light cord, but my grandfather grabbed my arm. His palm was extremely rough and it felt like there was dead skin on the palm of my hand.
"Don't turn on the light and come with me."
My grandfather still said coldly.
I was a little scared, but I got out of bed and put on my shoes.
"where to?"
"You'll know when we get there!"
My grandfather couldn't help but pulled me out of the house.
It was already late at night, and everything in the village was pitch black, with only a few scattered candles swaying in the night wind, beating like will-o'-the-wisps.
It was lit by the villagers at night when they were burning cold clothes, and it has not yet been burned out.
The paper dust was blown up by the wind, flying everywhere, and it always felt eerie when looking at it.
Those nasty owls have been hovering in the surrounding trees, as if they were chasing me, and their hoots sounded particularly intrusive.
My grandfather took me all the way to the ancestral hall in the village. The old and mottled wooden door, which was usually locked, was open at this time. A pair of red candles were lit at the door, and a severely weathered piece of wood hung above the door. There is a plaque with three big characters "Li Family Ancestral Hall" written on it. The fonts are already a bit blurry!
Looking at the gloomy place in front of me, I finally had the intention to retreat. I really didn’t want to go in.
"Grandpa, what are we doing here?"
I frowned and looked at my grandfather in confusion.
"Don't worry, if I wanted to harm you, you wouldn't survive today."
After my grandfather finished speaking, he pulled me in.
In fact, I wanted to struggle, but his words gave me a lot of security. I thought that no matter what, he would not harm me. After all, I was his grandson.
After entering the ancestral hall, I discovered that there were actually several villagers inside, including my seventh uncle Li Quande, my ninth uncle Li Baoguo, and two others whose names I don’t know, but they were all uncles.
I quickly said hello, but these people felt a little dull, their eyes had no color at all, and there was a dead air about them. In short, they looked very strange.
The incense table made of earthen bricks was even weirder. There was actually a pair of red candles, and they were inserted into two steamed buns.
This scene looks very similar to our wedding customs here.
Behind the incense table are rows of ancestral tablets, which have not changed much.
As for the black coffin, it was placed next to the incense table. It was previously enshrined behind the memorial tablet. It was obviously carried down by someone!
When I saw this posture, I felt a little scared. I quickly turned around and asked my grandpa, "Grandpa, what are you doing?"
"Don't ask, just lie down in the coffin. As long as you get through tonight, you will live."
My grandfather said coldly.
I immediately realized something was wrong, and quickly stepped back, planning to run away.
Are you kidding me? If you let me lie down in the coffin, can I survive tonight?
But as soon as I stepped back, my seventh uncle Li Quande grabbed my arm. His hand was so strong that it made my arm hurt, and it felt like my bones were about to break.
"What are you doing?"
I yelled and struggled hard.
Li Quande and the others couldn't help but grabbed me, stuffed me into the coffin, and then sealed the lid.
I was so scared that I kept banging on the coffin to ask them to let me out, but there was no response at all from the outside.
At that moment I suddenly understood, what was my grandfather’s so-called choice? Is he going to bury me alive? But why did he do this?
After I yelled for a while, my head started to feel dizzy. I thought it must be caused by suffocation.
Before I fainted completely, I was still a little unbelievable. My grandfather actually found someone to bury me alive? The last point he said about giving me acupoints turned out to be exactly what he meant.
My mind went completely blank, and I felt as if my whole body had fallen into an endless black hole, constantly falling.
I don’t know how long this state lasted. Finally, I regained consciousness, or maybe I was dreaming!
At this time, I appeared in a red room, which looked like a wedding room. There was a pair of red candles lit in the room, which were also inserted into two steamed buns.
On a big red bed in front of me, there was a woman wearing bridal makeup and a red hijab sitting there.
But I can't remember how I ended up here?
And at this time, I have no memory or consciousness of being sealed in the coffin before. It's like, I should be here, and today is my wedding day.
I stepped forward and uncovered the bride's red hijab, and that beautiful face immediately caught my eye.
It totally shocked me. This woman is so beautiful. Her skin is as white as jade, and her facial features are exquisite, especially her small cherry mouth. It is so sexy that you can't help but want to kiss her just by looking at her. Fan.
And I did!
That dream simply gave me a taste of the forbidden fruit. Although it was a dream, the real feeling was definitely no less than my personal experience. So much so that when I woke up, I felt like I was in another world. Everything I experienced just now is real, but now, I am in a dream.
It was dark all around and I couldn't see anything. When I reached out and touched it, I found that I was in a very small space, surrounded by wooden boards.
Only then did I suddenly remember that I had been sealed in a coffin before, and I was still alive.
"Dig it out, hurry up."
Suddenly there was such a faint sound outside, and then I felt like someone outside was starting to pry the coffin board!
"Help me, I'm in there."
I immediately slapped the coffin and shouted.
Although I don’t know where I am now or how long I have been sealed in the coffin, it is obvious that someone is here to save me!
Sure enough, after a while, the coffin lid was pried up, and a bright light shone in, which made me close my eyes and put my hand to cover my face.
I thought I must have been stuck in the dark for so long that I couldn't adjust to the light outside.
At this time, someone pulled me out of the coffin. I slowly adapted to it, opened my eyes, and found that I was on the mountain behind the village.
There were many people standing around, all of them villagers from the village. I could basically call them by name at a glance, but at this time I didn’t even bother to say hello to them, because my mind was full of question marks and I just wanted to Any idea what exactly happened?
"Dad, why am I here?"
Seeing that my father was also there, I asked him quickly.
"Don't ask now, we'll talk about it when we get back."
My father's face turned yellow and black, and he looked very haggard, as if he had suffered a huge blow.
I looked back at the grave pit on the ground. The coffin was still lying in the pit, but the lid of the coffin had been lifted and thrown aside.
"wrong."
I took a quick look and my brows furrowed involuntarily.
The Feng Shui of this cave is very good. The dragon is coming, the veins are natural, the blue dragon on the left is offering auspiciousness, the white tiger on the right is raising its head, and the sand and water in the Mingtang are also impeccable. However, after the mountain range on the left extends out, there are signs of turning back. This phenomenon is called Huilong Watch. The deceased is buried in this acupoint, taking advantage of the energy of life, and the corpse is immortal. Sooner or later, problems will occur, so anyone who knows how to do it will definitely not point the acupoint in this position.
But living people are exceptions. I was buried here last night and survived the whole night. I think a large part of the reason is the function of this tomb. Huilong watches and lives toward death.
It seems that my grandfather did not want to harm me.
"Dad, where is my grandpa?"
Thinking of this, I quickly turned around and asked my father.
He still didn't answer me. He just took a deep breath and shook his head slightly, as if he didn't want to mention it.
I had no choice but to suppress the doubts in my heart for the time being.
When I returned to the village, I happened to encounter a family holding a funeral. White lanterns were hung at the door, and many people were busy in the yard.
I stopped immediately because I recognized it, this was Li Quande's house.
"Dad, has anyone died in Uncle Qi's family?"
I frowned and asked my father.
It's not that I care about who died in Li Quande's family. The main thing is that one of the people who buried me alive last night was him.
"It's your seventh uncle, there was none last night."
My father said with a solemn expression.
"Uncle Seven is dead?"
When I heard this, my eyes widened.
"It's not just your seventh uncle. Last night, four people died in a row in the village."
My father's face became more serious.
