C11 Reluctance to Rest in Peace
After seeing this situation, the expressions of my uncle and I both changed.
Usually, it was impossible for anything to enter this place! So, what was up with these dead rats?
Thinking about this, I turned my head to look at my uncle. After all, I had yet to learn how to measure the things in the coffin. Therefore, there were some things that I was not very clear about.
At this moment, my uncle's face was deathly pale! However, he didn't say anything. He just said that he would wait for my dad to come.
After seeing my uncle like this, I knew that this matter would definitely not be simple! It might even be a big problem!
Finally, when the sky in the east began to turn red, my dad finally showed up with the Wang family's burial team!
In our village, the dead could only be placed in the house for a day! Unless there was a special situation, once the time was up, the soul of the dead would most likely stay in the house and refuse to leave! At that time, it would be very troublesome to find a way to expel them.
When my dad came, my uncle didn't let them immediately put the coffin down. Instead, he called my dad to the side and told him about what happened last night!
After hearing Uncle's story and seeing the dead rats in the Yin Manor, my dad's expression instantly changed!
Seeing that even my father's face had turned into this, I couldn't help but ask him, "Dad, what is going on? Is something going to happen?"
My dad was silent for a long time before he said to me, "Actually, it isn't a big problem for a few rats to appear in the Yin Manor. It's just that these rats died very strangely, and more importantly, the number of rats!"
At this point, my dad paused for a moment.
I was stunned! The number of rats? What did the number of rats mean?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn my head and look at the Yin Manor again. There were no more and no less rats here, and there were exactly seven dead rats! But what did this mean?
At this time, my father asked me again, "How many people do you have with Wang Sicheng?"
"Including me and my master, there are seven people in total! How..."
Before I could finish speaking, I couldn't help but freeze on the spot! Then, I turned my head and stared at my dad with a face full of fear.
I thought that even an idiot could understand what this meant at this time.
Then, I still didn't believe it and asked my father, "You mean to say that these seven dead rats represent the seven Mountain Moving Craftsmen?"
This time, my dad didn't pay attention to me anymore. Instead, he turned his head and said to Wang Sicheng, "Mr. Wang, this matter isn't simple! If we don't get these seven rats out, I'm afraid your wife won't be able to enter the Yin Manor today. Moreover, the sky is about to brighten up. The coffin of a dead person is against light! So, this matter isn't easy to handle!"
Hearing my dad's words, Wang Sicheng immediately panicked! Then, he could not help but ask my dad, "What should I do?"
My dad was silent for a while, then said to Wang Sicheng, "How about this, you go and find seven big cats. The bigger, the fiercer, the better! But remember, you can't have white fur on these seven cats! Not even a single strand of white fur! In this situation, White Hair is mourning! Once the cats have white fur, it means that they are mourning for the mice! The cats mourning for the mice is illogical! It will definitely appear something that is unexplainable by common sense!"
Hearing his father's words, Wang Sicheng hurriedly agreed. He arranged for his family to go back to the village to help look for a cat!
The only thing we can do now is wait! However, the sky was about to light up. Moreover, before dawn, we must put Wang Sicheng's wife's coffin into the Yin Tomb. So, everyone was very anxious!
About ten minutes later, the people who went to look for cats came back!
Each of them was holding a big cat in their hands. Those big cats probably had never enjoyed the feeling of being hugged before. All of them closed their eyes comfortably and were about to fall asleep.
I took a rough glance and found that these cats were all black or gray. They didn't have white fur on their bodies!
My dad wanted to check it out, but before he could get close to the cats, they were all frightened and jumped off the people’s arms and onto the ground. They started to scream in front of them! Their fur stood up and they looked scary! It was as if there was something invisible in front of them!
My dad didn’t say anything. He just looked at the scene quietly.
He was the only one who understood what was going on. Since he kept silent, the others didn’t dare to say anything.
About two minutes later, the seven big cats finally relaxed. They jumped into the graves one by one and started to leave after they picked up the dead rats.
The few cats that came earlier were fine, but the last cat was about to jump up when it suddenly screamed and fell into the pit. It was struggling in the pit like it was fighting something. It kept screaming and struggling in the pit! It was hard to tell what was going on.
After a while, blood started to flow out from the cat’s body! It looked like it was bitten by something!
However, there was nothing else in the pit.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw!
The cats that had jumped out of the pit seemed to have been frightened. They dropped the dead mouse in their mouths and ran away!
Soon, the cat in the pit was on its last breath! It lay there motionlessly, blood flowing out of its body!
Seeing this, my dad quickly picked up a torch from the fire and lit it on the pit.
As soon as he lit it, we saw a strand of white fur on the cat's tail!
When he saw the white fur on the cat, my dad was about to get angry! However, he sighed and turned to Wang Sicheng helplessly. "There is no limit to human strength! I have done my best! This is all the will of heaven!"
Wang Sicheng was really scared when he heard my dad say that. He quickly asked my dad, "Second Master, please don't scare me! What is going on? What is happening now?"
My dad sighed again and said, "I told you before that you can't have white fur on a cat! Look at the cat's tail. There is a strand of white fur on it. Now that the cat and mouse are buried together, it is like a ghost and a human! Your sister-in-law probably won't be able to leave today! Even if she buries the coffin now, something will happen sooner or later! The cat and mouse will definitely cause trouble! If you don't bury the coffin now, the sun will rise. If the sun shines on the coffin, things will be even more troublesome! So, you should make your own choice!"
Wang Sicheng was really a little flustered when he heard his father say that. The Mountain Moving Craftsman was meant to come into contact with these things, so he understood a few things, and he also understood the severity of the matter!
After a moment of silence, he seemed to have made up his mind and said to my father, "Since it is going to be a problem no matter what, then bury her first! If it really doesn't work, then we can choose a auspicious day in the future to move her grave!"
Hearing Wang Sicheng say that, I saw my father hesitate to say something. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but after looking at the sky, he could not help but swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth! Then, he started to arrange for people to start digging the coffin!
Very quickly, everyone put the coffin into the pit, and then pressed it against the cat and mouse's corpses.
As soon as the coffin landed on the ground, everyone suddenly heard a woman's sinister laugh! Although the voice was small, everyone heard it very clearly!
In an instant, everyone felt their hair stand on end! Because, they all heard it clearly, the voice came from Wang Sicheng's wife's coffin! It was as if Wang Sicheng's wife was gritting her teeth in the coffin and squeezed out a laugh from between her teeth!
Hearing this laughter, my father hurriedly called for people to fill the pit with soil!
By the time the big pit in front of us was filled up, the sky was already bright!
When they saw the sky light up, the gloominess in everyone's heart also disappeared!
Thus, under my father's arrangement, everyone returned to the village.
However, I discovered that my father's expression was getting uglier and uglier!
I wanted to ask him what had happened, but I held back! Because I knew that even if I asked, my father wouldn't tell me.
Just like that, under my muddle-headed state, a day passed by in a hurry.
Until the next morning, I ran to Wang Sicheng's house to see if anything had happened. However, as soon as I arrived at their house, I couldn't help but be shocked by the situation in front of me!
Because I saw Wang Sicheng sitting quietly on the bed in Wang Sicheng's house. His head was lowered, and I didn't know what was going on!
However, the feeling he gave me was exceptionally eerie!
I carefully called out, "Master!"
However, Wang Sicheng did not make any sound!
When I suddenly saw this situation, my heart couldn't help but thump! I thought to myself, 'Is Wang Sicheng already dead?'
