Chapter 32
The two treasure hunters looked at Li Ying's starry eyes. One of them, a man in his thirties with darker skin, said dryly: "We are studying what kind of wood the coffin is made of, not the size of the coffin. Big and small, so you don’t have to lie in a coffin.”
Li Ying stared at the dark-skinned man with big watery eyes and asked curiously: "Have you researched it? What kind of wood is the red coffin made of?"
Another man with glasses and a gentle appearance, about 25 or [-] years old, said: "This red coffin is made of nanmu. The red color of the coffin is not painted, but painted with cinnabar."
"Is nanmu valuable?" Li Ying asked again.
The man wearing glasses said truthfully: "Ordinary nanmu is more expensive than ordinary wood, and golden nanmu is even more rare."
"This red coffin is not ordinary nanmu, but made of golden nanmu." Li Xueer said.
The voice was filled with contentment that could not be concealed.
The two treasure hunters looked at Li Xue'er with a hint of surprise. They didn't expect a country girl to know about golden nanmu. It seemed that Gold and Silver Village was not as simple as it seemed.
Li Ying's eyes brightened even more when she heard this, and she asked happily: "Do you want to buy this coffin? Can our village sell it to you?"
The village chief and village party secretary were immediately happy after hearing what Li Ying said! If this coffin can be sold, it can add a lot of income to the village and get rid of the trouble.
"This red coffin can be sold to you, but the corpse inside the coffin is very evil and must be burned to avoid future troubles," the village party secretary said.
The man wearing glasses looked carefully at the mummy inside the coffin and found nothing surprising, with a trace of confusion on his face.
"Uncle, if you reach out and touch the mummy, you may have unexpected effects." Li Xueer said.
The man wearing glasses just put his hand into the coffin and found that the inside of the coffin was surprisingly cold. There was a trace of surprise and confusion on his face. Logically speaking, shouldn't the temperature inside the coffin be so low?
Something's wrong, so wrong? When he touched the mummy with his hand, the mummy's eyes suddenly opened and looked at him blankly? A person in a red dress seemed to appear in front of him and smiled brightly at her. The smile was soft and charming, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
The corner of Li Xueer's mouth curled up into a gloating smile.
Li Ying was surprised when she saw a man wearing glasses smiling at the mummy. His smile was like a dog looking at bones.
Lin Qingxuan and the village chief got goosebumps when they saw the man wearing glasses smiling obsessively at a mummy, as if the mummy was a peerless beauty.
The dark-skinned man saw that his companion had a strange look on his face and couldn't help but push him, "Yun Qing, what's wrong with you?"
The beauty in front of Yun Qing suddenly disappeared, and the eyes of the mummy did not open. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion.
He quickly took two steps back, staying away from the red coffin, and looked at the mummy with fear in his eyes.
"Yun Qing, what happened to you just now? You looked weird." The dark-skinned man asked in confusion.
Yun Qing rubbed his temples and said sadly, "Song Song, I'm fine."
Song Song felt that Yun Qing was lying and obviously not telling the truth, but in front of so many people, it was difficult to ask questions, so he had to give up! "Uncle, when you looked at the dead body in the coffin just now, you were like a hungry dog seeing shit. You wanted to pounce on it and take a bite." Li Ying said.
As soon as Li Ying finished speaking, the cave instantly became quiet, and everyone turned to Yunqing in unison.
Lin Lu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
My mother!Ying'er's description is so original! Yun Qing's face turned red, and he wished he could dig a hole and bury him. Is he really that horny? The village chief suppressed a smile and said to Yun Qing: "Children's talk is unbridled. Children are ignorant and talk nonsense. Don't take it to heart."
The corners of Yun Qing's mouth lifted up, revealing a smile that was uglier than Ying curled her lips. She was talking nonsense. She was a good child and every word she said was sincere.
Song Song looked at Yun Qing sympathetically. Although the little girl's words didn't sound good, they were rough and unreasonable. The way Yun Qing looked at the mummy just now was indeed squinting.
"Do you still want this coffin?" the village party secretary looked at Song Song and Yun Qing and asked.
Just as Song Song was about to speak, Yun Qing said before him: "No."
Although the coffin made of golden nanmu was good, and the mummy was worthy of study, it also had to be alive. The hallucination he had just had made him feel scared.
There was a hint of disappointment on the village chief's face. He thought he could make a fortune.
"Go find some firewood and hay, preferably some peach branches, and let's burn the body in the coffin on the spot." The village chief ordered Lin Lu and Lin Qingxuan.
Lin Lu, Lin Qingxuan and Li Meng went out of the cave to find firewood. Li Ying hugged the jade pillow and felt that staying in the cave was too boring, so she called Shitou and they also left the cave.
Li Xueer watched Lin Qing and the others holding firewood and piling them around the coffin. Worried about what might happen, she turned and left the cave.
"Village Chief, we are lucky to find a dry peach tree." Lin Xuan said, lighting a match and throwing it away to light the hay. The firewood was ignited. The village chief and the others retreated to the entrance of the cave and watched the firewood burn bigger and bigger. .
Li Ying and others sat under the cliff, saw smoke coming from the cave, and knew that the village chief and others were mummifying the corpse in a burning coffin.
Lin Lu and Li Meng sat under the cliff and looked at the cliff together. Li Meng said to Lin Lu: "I have never seen a dark red coffin, and it is in a stone cave. It is really evil."
"Customs vary from place to place. Some places like to use red coffins for burial, which represents joy and mourning," Li Meng said.
Li Xueer held the talisman tightly, looked at the thick smoke floating out of the cave, and smiled with relief.
Although she didn't get the treasure after escaping from death this time, she devoured part of the female ghost's memory and learned a lot, which was enough for her to benefit from.
Li Xueer looked at Li Ying with contempt. Li Ying's two brothers were facing her and would be her helpers in the future. Li Ying's future husband would also be hers.
When Li Xueer thought of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Li Xueer's smile made Li Ying panic. She hugged the jade pillow and stayed away from Li Xueer. She couldn't afford to offend this lunatic, so she could still do it by staying far away.
Li Meng looked at Li Xue'er's weird smile and was worried about what Li Xue'er would do to Li Ying. He picked up Li Ying and held her in his arms, and whispered: "Stay away from Li Xue'er."
Li Ying nodded and said: "I know she doesn't like me, so I will definitely stay away from her."
Li Meng touched Li Ying's head with pity. The little girl had such a bad-minded cousin like Li Xue'er. She was really unlucky for eight lifetimes.
Suddenly, dark clouds blocked the sun, and the sky suddenly became dark. A strong wind blew up, and the branches were blown by the wind.
"It's going to rain, let's go home quickly." Li Ying exclaimed.
Li Meng put his straw hat on Li Ying and said, "We will go home when the village chief and others come down."
Li Ying looked at the cliff, hoping that the village chief and others would come down quickly, otherwise it would rain and they would get wet.
In the cave, a vague wailing echoed in the cave. The village chief and the village party secretary looked at each other with a trace of suspicion on their faces. Then they thought it was caused by the wind blowing into the cave and didn't take it to heart. .
