Chapter Thirteen: The Seductive Female Corpse Lies in the Coffin!

  I don't know how long I was unconscious, but in a daze, I only heard the sound of gurgling water coming from my ears. I groggily let out a hum and then opened my blurry eyes.

  My head hurts a lot. I rubbed it and found that my forehead was all bloody, but it had already been blown dry by the wind and stuck to my face, feeling very uncomfortable.

  I sat up with a struggle, feeling as if my whole body was going to fall apart, hurting all over. I opened my clothes and saw that there were bruises all over my body, and the scratches were too numerous to count. It could be said that I was covered in scars. Fortunately, I hadn't hurt any bones, and I could still manage to stand up with difficulty.

  I shook my head and immediately looked up, starting to size up my surroundings.

  In front of me, there is a small stream flowing slowly. The water in the stream is clear and transparent to the bottom, which should be a branch of the Gurgling River.

  After seeing the stream, I rushed over and plunged my head into it.

  Invigorated by the icy creek water, I immediately felt a lot more awake. I took a deep breath and then looked around to get my bearings before heading towards the village.

  I don't know how long I was unconscious, but judging from the hunger in my stomach, it definitely wasn't short.

  It's been so long, I don't know if Xia Yu Xin and the others have returned or not.

  As I thought this in my heart, I quickened my pace.

  About an hour later, I finally walked out of Mantou Mountain.

  I fell from the mountain earlier and didn't return by the original route, but instead went around Mantou Mountain and came out from the shaded slope.

  As soon as I entered the village, I felt something was off.

  Although the village was shrouded in thick fog, it should be afternoon now, but the village was unusually quiet, and the streets were empty, without even a single figure.

  I thought it strange, usually at this time, the villagers should be out working, even if they're not working, every household should have some smoke rising from their chimneys, but now, there's not a single sound or movement from any of the households?

  At this time I happened to be passing by Dog Egg's house, I thought for a moment and decided to go in and see Dog Egg's old mother.

  The doors and windows of Dog Danjia's house were wide open. As soon as I entered the room, I shouted loudly: "Auntie, Yifan has come to see you!"

  After finishing speaking, I entered the house, but there was no one in the room.

  How strange! Dog Egg's mother is blind in both eyes and rarely goes out. How can she not be at home?

  I thought it strange and immediately pushed open the door of the inner room.

  The house belongs to Dog Egg and his wife, as soon as you enter the house, you immediately see Dog Egg's wedding photo hanging on the wall, but strangely, the house is still empty!

  I frowned and thought to myself, "Could it be that Cuihua has taken Dog Egg's mother out for a visit?"

  As I thought so in my heart, I went out of the house, but at this time my right hand suddenly hurt, and when I looked down, I saw that my right hand had swollen again.

  I knew that Dog Egg's family had an old rooster, our two families got along extremely well, and without hesitation, I headed straight for the chicken coop.

  But when I walked into the chicken coop and saw the scene inside, I was suddenly stunned.

  The chicken coop was in a mess, with feathers scattered all over the floor. The hens inside were all dead, except for one large rooster that was cowering in the corner, shaking all over.

  I picked up a dead chicken and took a look, only to see that there were two small holes on the chicken's neck, as if they had been bitten out by something.

  What's going on here? Have you hired a foreigner?

  My right hand started hurting again, so I stopped thinking about it and grabbed the big rooster that was shivering with fear. I went inside, picked up a kitchen knife, and chopped off the chicken's head with one swift cut.

  Scalding chicken blood splashed onto my right hand, and to my surprise, the pain sensation was alleviated in an instant. Moreover, my originally swollen right hand was visibly deflating at a visible speed. The bruise was also slowly fading away.

  I let out a sigh of relief and left Dog Egg's house, heading home.

  Inside the village, it was a piece of silence and stillness. Even the sound of chickens clucking and dogs barking could not be heard. The rolling thick fog even enveloped the entire village, making people feel an eerie atmosphere while walking through it.

  It's strange, too strange. Inside the village, how can there be no noise at all? Moreover, I walked to several houses in a row, although every household had their doors and windows wide open, but inside the house, there wasn't even a single shadow of a person.

  Where have all the villagers gone?

  Why is there no one in every household?

  What's wrong?

  My heart skipped a beat and I quickened my pace, hurrying home as fast as I could.

  "Dad!" I shouted as soon as I got home, but there was no response. I suddenly felt uneasy and rushed into the house.

  Everything in the house is still there, and it's no different from when I left. I even saw steamed buns in the pot, but my dad is nowhere to be seen.

  How could this be? The people in the village, how come they're all gone?

  An indescribable premonition grew thicker, and my heart began to thump wildly.

  I barely had time to think much before rushing out of the house and sprinting towards the construction site.

  Now I have only one idea, are all the people in the village on a construction site?

  Thinking of this, I ran even faster and arrived at the construction site in a few minutes. But when I saw the scene in front of me clearly, my body suddenly stiffened, and I was stunned on the spot.

  I stared wide-eyed, with a terrified expression, and beads of sweat as big as beans instantly flowed down from my forehead.

  "How could this be, how could this be? What on earth is going on? Where did all these coffins come from?" I muttered to myself in shock and disbelief, my face pale with astonishment.

  The construction site is no longer what it was like when I left.

  A row of coffins, neatly arranged within the construction site, stretching as far as the eye can see.

  Dozens of large coffins lay silently on the construction site, shrouded in thick fog, with the red glow-emitting coffin bodies appearing and disappearing, making the scene very eerie.

  So many coffins, gave me a strong visual impact, and my heart was also violently twisted.

  How come there are so many big coffins? Where did these big coffins come from and who put them here?

  I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and at this moment, a strong gust of wind suddenly surged up, blowing the thick fog rolling, and in the midst of the fog, countless large coffins finally all came into view.

  It was only then that I realized these coffins were arranged with great care, countless coffins laid out together, vaguely forming the shape of a Bagua.

  And in the very center, there was a largest coffin, which was surrounded by many coffins, just like the stars surrounding the moon.

  But when the fog rolled over, after I saw that big coffin in the center clearly, I couldn't help but exclaim, and my scalp felt numb all at once.

  On top of that large coffin, a person was lying on their side, a woman!

  She wore a blood-colored phoenix crown on her head, draped in a blood-colored cloud cloak, and walked with blood-colored footsteps...

  Everything was blood-colored, but that delicate blood color made her slender arm outside even whiter.

  She lay on her side in the coffin, her back to me, her left hand propping up her head and her right hand naturally placed on her leg. The gentle breeze blew through, lifting her thick hair into a fluttering dance, while her crimson cloak also flew about in the wind. Her white thighs were immediately exposed before my eyes.

  Red and white alternating, most dazzling, also most tempting!

  In an instant, I was drawn in by this blood-colored figure, and I don't know how long it took before a gust of cold wind shocked me back to my senses.

  I swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "You... who are you?"

  She lay quietly on her side in the coffin, as if she were asleep, and I didn't even have the heart to disturb her.

  She didn't say a word, nor did she move. I plucked up the courage and raised my voice to ask: "Who are you? Why are you here? What are you doing lying in a coffin?"

  Still no response!

  A gust of wind blew by, her hair and scarf still fluttering about, I furrowed my brow, then stealthily approached her.

  I'd like to see who's lying here pretending to be a ghost.

  I walked past from the side, but when I got past, I was stunned in an instant.

  Because she was still facing away from me, quietly lying on her side in the coffin.

  I thought it was strange and immediately circled around again.

  But strangely, she still had her back to me!

  I felt something was off at that time. I didn't see her move at all, so why couldn't I see her full face no matter how I turned around?

  As I thought of this, I suddenly felt a shiver in my heart, and immediately, my eyes widened.

  Does she even have a straight face?

  What the hell is this thing, isn't it human?

  In an instant, I felt a chill run down my spine and both legs started shaking.

  At this moment, I was astonished to find that the woman's hand seemed to have moved, and then, under my stunned gaze, she stretched out a lazy waist, as if waking up from a big dream. Immediately, a pleasant voice came out.

  "Time is quiet and good, with you speaking; fine water flows year by year, with you together; prosperity falls off, with you old!" She slowly sat up, then muttered: "Time is leisurely, old people do not recover. Alas!..."

  A sigh of sorrow, as if it contained endless desolation. At this time, she slowly turned her head and looked at me with a pleasant voice: "Excuse me, sir, what year is tonight?"
