The First Part Chapter 3 The Mystery of One's Birth (4)

  I took a glance at my daughter's room, they were sleeping peacefully by the bed. I gently lifted the curtains, and in front of me was a pitch-black scene, with only a faint red glow emanating from the foot of the distant mountain.

  The flames gradually approached, and I thought to myself, "Could it be that strange person and monster again?" At this moment, my daughter suddenly began tossing about in bed, muttering incoherently in her sleep. As the flames drew closer, she tossed about even more violently. When I lit the kerosene lamp, I saw that my daughter's forehead was covered with large beads of sweat.

  Tang Jun woke up at this time, and loudly shouted a few times in his daughter's ear, but his daughter didn't react at all. Her eyes were tightly closed, and the unclear voice from her mouth grew louder and louder, like an incantation. I picked up the shotgun, pushed open the door and rushed out to see what was going on.

  "Who would have thought that as soon as I opened the big door outside, I found a coffin placed at the entrance. It was a coffin painted blood red, and on the south corner of the coffin, there was a deep knife scar." Old Jin said with a sigh.

  "Is it the red coffin in that deserted tomb?" I couldn't help but ask.

  Old Jin nodded and continued: "That's right, I was also very surprised at the time. When did that red coffin appear in my courtyard? I had no idea at all. I bit my fingers hard to make sure I wasn't dreaming, and then gently stroked the coffin.

  The few coffin nails on the top had already fallen off, I gently pushed open a corner of the coffin, and suddenly a black shadow jumped out from inside. I was prepared and dodged it, but this time I also saw its appearance clearly - a monster with a human body and a cat face! After the black shadow jumped out, I used a bit more force, and the coffin lid was pushed open by me.

  Under the coffin was a yellow satin cushion, on which lay a small bundle. I gently opened it and found to my astonishment that it was my missing grandson, Jin Douzi! He was quietly sleeping inside, completely unaware of his surroundings in the coffin. I hastily carried Jin Douzi into the house, no longer caring about the coffin or the strange creature's whereabouts.

  Hongying was no longer talking nonsense, lying quietly and peacefully, Tang Jun was wiping the sweat from her forehead. He took a look at the child, finally relieved that after all they had been through, his wife and son were safe and sound, without losing their lives. He leaned against the wall alone, thinking about what had happened recently.

  The next day, I hid the red coffin in the warehouse. In the afternoon, Hongying suddenly shouted loudly. I rushed into the house and saw her face turning pale, curled up on the bed, and the shoulder that was scratched by the monster that day had bled a lot of blood. Jin Douzi also cried loudly as if she was possessed, which made me and Tang Jun surprised but helpless.

  "I hastily asked her what was wrong. Possibly due to the pain, Hongying's lips had been bitten hard by her and were bleeding. I poured a cup of brown sugar water for her to drink, and it wasn't until a while later that she slightly calmed down. After she fell asleep, I crossed over the mountain to Daqi, preparing to find a doctor to diagnose and treat her."

  "When I arrived at Daqi, the sky was already getting late. I went to several clinics in a row, but as soon as the doctor heard that I wanted to go to Nangua Village so late, they all refused sternly. When I left Daqi, it was already after 9 pm. Rural people generally go to bed early, and at that time, resources were scarce, even kerosene was in short supply, so the whole Daqi was pitch black."

  "I hadn't walked out a few steps when I felt like there was someone following me from behind. I didn't dare to turn my head, after experiencing so many strange and bizarre things, my heart always had some lingering fear. So I slowed down my pace, and the person behind me also slowed down their pace."

  "Not far from the big flag, I increasingly felt that there was indeed something behind me. I suddenly shouted: 'Determined to win, not afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, strive for victory.' After my shout, I clearly felt that person hesitate. Taking advantage of this moment, I suddenly accelerated and entered the mountain valley, then plunged into the grass thicket, holding my breath, waiting to see what would happen."
