"Can't you see it yet? Take a closer look!" Uncle Li was a little anxious.
"Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush like this." Xu Qian was a little confused for a moment, not because Xu Qian didn't know enough, but because what Uncle Li said was too mysterious, and she couldn't understand his intention.
"Coffin! This building looks like a coffin!" Uncle Li said in a loud voice.
Xu Qian looked up again at this time, "Coffin? It really looks like it. No wonder it looked so familiar to me at the time. It looked like something unusual. No wonder I dreamed of myself lying in a coffin last night."
Xu Qian's scalp was tingling, her ears were numb, and there was a buzzing in her head.
"Oh, don't believe me. The three unit buildings in this ghost building all look long and rectangular. They are not concave, convex, curved or curved on the whole. The ratio of length to width is just right. It is exactly the proportion of a coffin. Just the units
In terms of the overall height and width of the building, if it is taller, it will look longer, and if it is shorter, it will look shorter. The color tone is almost the same as that of a stone coffin in a mass grave." Uncle Li said it as if it was true.
Is there anyone in the world who knows more about coffins than Xu Qian? I'm afraid there are very few. Because the soil in the south is moist, many mountainous areas use stone coffins for funerals. For example, the incorruptible ancient corpse found in Nanchong, Sichuan slept in a thick layer of coffins.
in the sarcophagus.
"If you don't look at the balcony and just look at the length-to-width ratio and color tone of the building, it's just a big coffin standing upside down between heaven and earth." Xu Qian secretly thought in her mind, "Unit apartments are common all over the country, but this one is the only one.
The building is different, the length-to-width ratio is like looking at a coffin model being built."
"Could it be that someone deliberately created a Feng Shui situation using Feng Shui techniques? This place is not caused by evil spirits, but by people with ulterior motives behind it?"
"But who could it be? Obviously it can't be Jin Xi. She was not born when this building was built." Xu Qian became confused.
A row of balconies facing the southwest are all three-beam and three-sided. The so-called three-beam and three-sided balcony is supported by three cement stone beams, which are covered with stone slabs as the balcony floor, and then solid stone railings half a person's height are built on the three sides. The entire balcony is composed of
Supported by three stone beams, it looks like a coffin hanging on the cliff from the bottom up.
An eternal mystery: Bo people's hanging coffins are very common in the mountainous areas along the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. They are a special burial method of ancient ethnic minorities. Holes are dug in the smooth and straight cliffs, wooden beams are set up, and the coffins are held up on the beams.
There is a vertical line of coffins hanging on the mountain wall, just like the layout of the balcony of this building. From the second floor to the ninth floor, a total of eight "sarcophagi" are arranged in a vertical line.
"Girl, you can't live here. This is not a place for people to live. This is a coffin. There are coffin evil spirits, nine layers of Yin evil spirits. There are eight "Bo people hanging coffins" on the coffin that rises to the sky. Even gods live in it.
Something is going to happen!"
Back in the room, Sister Meng was sitting in the living room wrapped in a quilt. Her face was pale, her lips were gray, and she was trembling all over.
"Sister Meng, you don't look good, what's wrong?"
"It's freezing in this room. I didn't notice it when I first moved in last night. Tonight, the weather suddenly turned cold."
"Then wear more clothes." Xu Qian brought a piece of clothing and wrapped it around her body.
"No, I'm going to bed." Sister Meng became taciturn tonight. She just felt bored and went back to her room to sleep early.
Xu Qian repeatedly recalled Uncle Li's words, "The individual units in this building are independent buildings, and there is no interconnection between floors. To go from one unit to another, you have to go downstairs and walk out of the entire building before entering another unit."
"
"However, the old man in 'Bed 103' said that the whole building is haunted. Every night he hears the sound of laughter and slapstick, which can be heard by the residents in the three units. There are thick cement walls between the units. How can the sounds be heard at the same time?
Echoing in the three units?" Xu Qian couldn't help but have deep doubts in her heart.
Boom, boom, boom... there were footsteps in the corridor.
Look at the time, it's 10 o'clock at night.
Xu Qian went out and saw an indifferent young man carrying a bald old lady on his back, walking heavily upstairs.
Xu Qian muttered in her heart: "It's the two of them again."
The young man lowered his head and remained silent. The old lady turned her head and smiled strangely at Xu Qian from time to time. The night reflected the cold blue light on the cataract mucosa of her eyes.
Strange buildings, strange dreams, and strange people confused Xu Qian.
The whole building is dark, and the windows are like black holes, sucking people's souls. It always makes people feel that there are many silent people in the darkness behind the windows, staring coldly at strangers through the windows. A row of balconies on the southwest
It protrudes in the darkness with sharp edges and corners, like a coffin hanging in the sky in the forest night.
"No, I didn't turn off the lights when I went downstairs just now. Why can't I see the lights in my room here? Is there a power outage?" Xu Qian rushed upstairs and pushed open the door. She saw that the lights in the room were still the same, although they were dim and dim.
You can definitely see it from outside the building through the balcony windows and doors.
"It's weird, there are two rooms upstairs that have light."
One is her room, the other is upstairs.
"The lights are on upstairs. It seems that the young man and the bald old lady are living upstairs." Xu Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
When Xu Qian went downstairs, she just turned around and met Uncle Li.
"Girl, that building is uninhabitable. Didn't you realize there isn't even a mouse in that building?"
"Yeah, I'm also wondering why I can't even hear the movement of mice in this building."
"Girl, animals are more intelligent than people." Uncle Li pulled Xu Qian aside and said, "Many years ago, there was an old cemetery in our countryside. I don't know since when, not even an old bird can be seen in that cemetery.
Can't you? Then something happened. One night that year, I happened to encounter the "Eight Yin" (the eight celestial stems and earthly branches of the year, month, day and hour are all Yin). That night, four men and four women disappeared in the village.
I couldn't find them for days. This is really weird. They were sleeping, but they all got up and went to the hut at that cloudy hour, but they just left and never came back. It sounds weird to hear these numbers. In the words of my hometown, they are 'four men and four women'
Death was rampant. Later, the village found the lame immortal, who was my master. He asked people to dig up all the century-old graves in the old cemetery and pry open the coffins. Only then did the villagers discover that the four missing men and four
The women are all lying in coffins. The most bizarre thing is that all the old corpses in the eight tombs are missing."
Xu Qian didn't like this handsome man, Uncle Li, and didn't say much to him. She left after saying a few perfunctory words. Uncle Li shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Girl, if you can still come to me, just
Come to the guard room. I work the night shift every day."
Walking all the way back to No. 33, as soon as she entered the unit door, she heard a deep "pop" sound behind her. Xu Qian quickly drew her knife and turned around, only to see two groups of black things squirming on the ground, one pressing on the other. Xu Qian
He didn't rush over to take a look. He took a closer look and saw that there were two objects on his back, with black liquid spilling out from the side.
"What?" Xu Qian was shocked.
It's the young man and the old lady!
They jumped off the building!
Xu Qian
He was so frightened that he couldn't even take a few steps.
There was no expression on the young man's face. The bald old lady's neck had been broken, and her gray cataract eyes were looking at the night sky, with a cold light.
Xu Qian immediately took out her mobile phone and dialed 110. However, there was no dial tone on the mobile phone, only the sound of slow footsteps "Dong, dong, dong..."
She rushed to the canteen, grabbed the phone and called the police.
Five minutes later, the patrol police and ambulance roared in. The residential area was crowded with people, but no one dared to go to Building 33. Seeing the police coming, they plucked up the courage to see what was going on.
The four police officers immediately divided their duties, two of them evacuated the crowd of onlookers, while the other two and Xu Qian went to inspect the scene, and several doctors followed closely behind with stretchers.
Upon arriving at the scene, Xu Qian was dumbfounded.
The two bodies were missing. There were only two bamboo paper figures lying on the ground.
One paper figurine has a bamboo pole and a yellow paper body. It is dressed in a black paper shroud with a pale face and a cold expression. It is carrying another paper figurine, which looks like an old woman. It wears an old woman's cloth felt hat, has no feet, and has a gray face.
He was black and his eyes were covered with fish membranes.
"what happened?"
At this time, Uncle Li came over with two bottles of Erguotou and sighed: "Girl, let me tell you, there are only two families living in this building, one is you and the other is a college student."
"It's impossible. I clearly saw that man carrying the old woman upstairs."
"Drink some wine to calm down."
"Uncle Li's origins are unknown. Everything about him is spread by word of mouth among residents in the community. Who will confirm it?"
Xu Qian kept her expression calm and said with a smile: "Uncle, you must have moved the two corpses just now."
Uncle Li sighed: "You still don't believe it? Come with me!"
He led Xu Qian to inspect all the doors in the unit. Except for the house where Xu Qian and the college student lived, the keyholes of all the doors were rusty and rotten, and even the key could not be inserted.
The young man and the old lady's house was even more exaggerated. The wooden door was dusty and had a faded seal on it, making it impossible for anyone to get in.
"Uncle Li, that's not right. There are clearly their footprints on the dust on the ground."
"Where are the footprints? Although there is dust in this building, it is not thick enough to leave footprints. The owner of the dumpling shop is afraid that the house cannot be rented out, so he comes to clean the corridor every day at noon."
Xu Qian was stunned. She bent down and looked carefully at the stairs and the ground, but she couldn't see a single footprint. She just felt dizzy and said, "The footprints I saw last night were... what happened?"
…
Xu Qian sat on the bed, feeling anxious in her heart.
"Whoever is pulling the strings is really good at making things up, and the trick of pretending to be mysterious is really unprecedented."
"It seems I underestimated them." Unknowingly, I started to feel sleepy.
At this time, there were footsteps in the corridor again.
Xu Qian and Sister Meng got up and looked at the door, only to see the college student who lived across the door.
"What's your name?" Xu Qian blocked the stairs and asked in an interrogative tone.
When the student saw Xu Qian's posture, he trembled all over and stammered: "Huang, Huang Wei..."
"You...who are you?" Huang Wei said tremblingly.
"What are you doing here?" Sister Meng asked.
"I gave you money to rent a house..."
