Chapter 247 Ancient Coffin at the Construction Site

At that time, at a construction site on a barren mountain hundreds of kilometers away from Qingyang City, excavators and cement tankers were rumbling, and hundreds of workers were coming and going, with shouts and yells heard incessantly.

Before I knew it, I had been working from sunrise to late at night.

"Oh my god, I sweat almost eight liters every day, and I work until late at night. I really can't take it in a few years."

"This project is quite urgent. I heard that the boss wants to transform this barren mountain land into a holiday villa area. It's a really big project."

"Fuck, what kind of vacation villa complex is this? It's built in such a barren place. I think it's probably just for those rich people to do shady things."

"Well, who cares about that? They can do whatever they want. As long as their wages are paid, we don't care about anything else. Okay, let's get back to work. It's almost time."

A group of workers jumped into the deep pit with the help of an excavator to deal with the excess rock fragments, laughing and chatting while working.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a worker dug down with a hoe, and a muffled sound was heard.

"Oh shit, what's that thing so hard? My hand is numb from the shaking!"

Wang Jianmin let out a strange cry.

"What's going on? Did you dig something up? A rock or something?"

Seeing this, everyone gathered around immediately.

"Dig down and see what the hell it is! It's shaking my jaws so much they almost broke!"

Wang Jianmin covered his hands and cursed.

"Come on, guys, let's dig and see, maybe we'll find some gold, haha!"

The skinny Li Guofu chuckled, picked up a small shovel and started digging. Seeing this, the other workers around him also started to move.

......

"What...is this?"

Several people moved together, and soon a dark red corner of the thing underneath was revealed.

"What the hell is this? It seems pretty big, but why is only a corner of it showing?"

Li Guofu knocked and a dull sound came out.

"Hey hey hey! Holy shit, this can't be a coffin, why does it look a bit like one to me?"

"...No way, brother, look at where we are now. We are 20 meters underground. Can you bury your coffin that deep? That's crazy."

"Yes, and the color doesn't look like it. Aren't coffins usually black? This dark red looks too unlucky. It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be."

The others came forward and touched it. Although they said so, they were actually worried.

"Hey, what are you guys dawdling about for? Do you have some gold you want to share?"

At the top of the pit, Wang Jianmin shouted down.

"No matter what it is, dig it out first, otherwise we won't be able to continue the work. Hurry and get started."

--------------------

--------------------

After a while, the things buried underground were finally dug out, but at this time the faces of everyone present were as ugly as they could be.

Because, what was dug out was really a coffin, a huge dark red coffin...

The coffin was about four meters long and one meter wide, and was a creepy dark red all over.

The strangest thing was that the entire coffin was tied up with layers of extremely thick iron chains, and was covered with densely packed yellow paper talismans with completely incomprehensible words written on them, like a picture.

The coffin stood quietly in place, and an ancient, vicissitudes of life with a hint of blood came to the face.

......

"This... this is definitely not an ordinary coffin... This posture doesn't look right, guys..."

Li Guofu swallowed his saliva and pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying.

The other people looked at each other in bewilderment. Needless to say, with the iron chains and the yellow talismans, even a fool would know that there was something seriously wrong with this coffin!

Several people have worked at various construction sites for at least seven or eight years. They have seen all kinds of things dug out from the ground, including antiques, bombs left over from the war, and even coffins. However, this is the first time they have seen such a strange coffin like the one they found today.

"What should we do?"

"Let's just be quiet and don't move. I'll go find the manager."

After saying this, Wang Jianmin turned around and jogged away.

"Isn't there a zombie in this room wearing official uniform? That's how it seems in the movies..."

"Don't talk nonsense! You already said it was a movie. It's a different era now, and you still believe in these ghosts and gods. Buried so deep underground, even if it was a zombie, it would have suffocated or starved to death!"

"Well, if you don't believe it, then open the coffin and take a look. Anyway, you are not afraid and don't believe in ghosts."

"I...I'm not going! I don't believe it, and I don't want to touch the coffin either. It's bad luck! Will you ever win at cards like this again?"

......

Li Guofu and others were chatting while waiting for the manager.

A few minutes later, hurried footsteps were heard, and a man in his forties with a side-parted slicked-back hair and wearing a striped suit came over, led by Wang Jianmin.

"Manager Jiang!"

"Manager Jiang is here!"

Seeing the newcomer, everyone immediately greeted him.

"Is this the coffin?"

Jiang Wangsheng frowned and stared at the coffin and asked.

"Yes, we dug it out just now. Manager Jiang, you can see that the coffin is obviously not normal, so we didn't dare to move..."

Wang Jianmin wiped the sweat off his forehead and said.

"It's just a broken coffin, but it seems a bit bigger than an ordinary coffin. What's wrong with it? Are you scared by this iron chain and a pile of waste paper?"

Jiang Wangsheng shook his head and sneered.

"But why is there all this stuff on this coffin? It's so creepy..."

"Maybe it's just a prank, or maybe this coffin is very old and people at that time were superstitious and ignorant so they made this thing."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Just open the coffin and you'll know what's inside. Stop dithering."

Jiang Wangsheng waved his hand and urged.

“This…this…”

When everyone heard Jiang Wangsheng's request, their faces suddenly changed. They looked at each other and no one dared to take a step towards the coffin.

"Huh? What are you doing? Are you a bunch of grown men trying to play the old woman's game with me?"

"What the hell is this day and age? You still believe in these superstitious things. I think you've seen too many zombie movies. Hurry and open the coffin! It's almost midnight. I don't have time to waste time with you. If you keep dawdling, you'll all be fired tomorrow and you won't get your wages!"

Jiang Wangsheng obviously lost his patience and shouted with a wave of his hand.

When Wang Jianmin, Li Guofu and others heard that they were going to be fired and their wages were deducted, they became anxious. They valued the hard-earned money more than their own lives.

"Okay, guys, let's lift the coffin lid and take a look!"

A few people made up their minds and walked straight towards the ancient coffin!
