Cao Ming and Cao Li, both reeking of alcohol, arrived at the construction site, turned off their flashlights, and walked towards the excavator.

At the construction site, Hu Sangou was trembling with fear. When he saw Cao Ming and Cao Li coming, he felt much more at ease and shouted to them, "Brother Cao, you're here!" Then he quickly ran to Cao Ming and Cao Li's side!

"Look how scared you are!"

Seeing how terrified Hu Sangou was, Cao Ming burst into laughter, his breath reeking of a strong, unpleasant mixture of garlic and alcohol.

"Where is the coffin you mentioned?"

Hu Sangou laughed awkwardly and pointed towards the slope behind him.

"Come on, take us there to have a look."

Cao Li said, also reeking of alcohol.

For some unknown reason, the two large lights around the construction site started crackling and flickering as soon as the coffin was dug up.

Hu Sangou led Cao Ming and Cao Li to the edge of the slope and said, "They're right there!"

Cao Ming and Cao Li looked towards the slope and saw several rolled-down stone slabs. In the middle of the slope, there was indeed a section of a large black coffin.

The two brothers were quite bold; they climbed up and examined the exposed section of the coffin.

"It really is a huge coffin!"

Cao Li said, slapping one hand on the coffin wall, completely unconcerned.

Cao Ming touched his bulbous nose: "How could there be such a big coffin?"

"It looks like an ancient tomb!"

"An ancient tomb?"

Cao Li's eyes lit up: "Could there be antiques inside?!"

"antique?"

Cao Ming recalled the porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, swords and the like that featured on treasure appraisal shows.

Tongcheng has a long history, and news reports from time to time often mention workers unearthing ancient tombs and antiques in remote corners or construction sites. Such incidents are not uncommon.

So the two brothers became excited.

"If it really is an ancient tomb, there might actually be antiques inside!"

"That would be a huge profit."

Cao Ming and Cao Li exchanged a knowing smile, then Cao Ming shouted to Hu Sangou, "Use the excavator to dig this coffin out!"

The night wind whistled, and Hu Sangou felt afraid.

I felt that finding a coffin tonight was unlucky and unfortunate, so I didn't want to continue digging and just wanted to go home and sleep.

He said to the two brothers on the slope, "Brother Cao, it's so late, why don't we wait until tomorrow?"

Standing on the slope, Cao Ming saw Hu Sangou's timid and hesitant appearance and said irritably, "It's just a coffin."

"You scared me!"

"Hurry up, dig this coffin out!"

Cao Li urged.

He doesn't want to wait until tomorrow!

If there are so many construction workers at the site tomorrow morning, and there really is a valuable antique in the coffin, everyone will know, and the antique will not be able to be obtained. So we have to dig it up tonight when no one is around!

Seeing that Hu Sangou was still hesitating and not making a move, Cao Ming said, "Hu Sangou, what are you doing? Hurry up and dig out this coffin, then you can go back first!"

Under pressure from the foreman, Hu Sangou had no choice but to start the excavator again to dig out the coffin buried in the soil on the slope.

About ten minutes later, a large coffin, about three meters long, two meters wide, and two meters high, was dug out and slid to the ground.

The coffin was pitch black, and because it had been buried in the ground for a long time, the paint was mottled and looked very old.

Under the black background, you can see that the coffin is very well preserved, and there are some strange patterns faintly visible on it!

The entire coffin exuded a chilling and eerie atmosphere in the night.

Cao Ming and Cao Li were overjoyed, and the two brothers circled the coffin once.

"This coffin is so big, it seems to be very old, and it's very well preserved. The owner must have been a person of high status!"

Cao Li said, increasingly convinced that there must be something good inside.

Cao Ming nodded, agreeing with his brother's statement, and was also eager to open the coffin lid to take a look.

"I heard that Li Ermao from the village also dug up a coffin at a construction site last year, and found a 300-year-old porcelain piece inside, which sold for more than ten million yuan!!"

He instantly became a tycoon!

The two brothers were extremely envious, but unfortunately they didn't have Li Ermao's luck.

"Great! We've dug up a coffin too. Maybe we'll become rich overnight like Li Ermao!"

Ha ha."

After sending Hu Sangou away, the two brothers began to pry open the coffin lid.

"one two three!"

"Push harder!"

Three minutes later, Cao Ming and Cao Li leaned against the coffin wall, panting heavily. They had used all their strength, but they just couldn't open the coffin lid.

The coffin lid looked as if something was pressing it down.

After resting for a while, Cao Ming and Cao Li prepared to try again.

"I refuse to believe we can't open it!"

Cao Mingdao.

Cao Li said, "If I had known it would be this difficult to open, I would have had Hu San Gou use an excavator to open the coffin before letting him leave!"

The two tried again, but it still didn't work.

As Cao Li exerted his strength, he noticed the wrench lying on the construction site. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he exclaimed, "I've got an idea!"

He walked over to the excavator, where there was a pile of wrenches, hammers, buckets, and other tools left behind by the workers during the day.

Cao Li picked up a wrench, a sledgehammer, and a saw from inside and returned to the coffin.

"Brother, use this!"

"You're really smart, kid!"

Under the moonlight, a fat man and a thin man were hammering and sawing at the coffin lid in the dead of night, creating a bizarre scene.

Cao Ming struck the coffin lid with his hammer, scratching the lacquer and the strange patterns on it. A thin red light emanated from the coffin and disappeared into the night. At the same time, the entire coffin trembled slightly.

Cao Li suddenly paused, stopping the crowbar in his hand.

"Brother Cao, did you feel the coffin move just now?"

Cao Ming was a carefree guy. He stopped what he was doing, wiping the sweat from his brow, and said, "Don't scare me. How could a coffin move!"

"Hurry up and get to work, it'll be dawn soon, it won't be good if people find out!"

"Um!"

Cao Li also felt that he might be being too sensitive, so he inserted the iron pry bar into the gap in the coffin and continued to pry it open with force.

Whether it was the effect of their previous efforts or something else, the coffin lid suddenly seemed lighter. This time, Cao Ming and Cao Li successfully pried open an opening and pushed a crack through the coffin lid.

"Great, it's finally open!"

"Quickly, see what's inside!"

Cao Ming and Cao Li, one on each side, eagerly lay down on the coffin.

A gentle night breeze blew, and the construction site lights suddenly flickered twice, making a chilling crackling sound.

If someone were outside at that moment, they would surely have seen a strange red light emanating from the coffin.

The inside of the coffin was dark and had a foul stench. Cao Li pushed the coffin lid open wider and then shone his flashlight inside.

Then, Cao Ming and Cao Li seemed to see something and let out a bloodcurdling scream!

...

Screams echoed through the construction site at midnight.

The construction site lights flickered on and off a few times before returning to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Cao Ming and Cao Li lay dead beside the coffin, their eyes wide open as if they had seen something extremely terrifying before they died!

The coffin lid was opened one-third of the way, and the inside of the coffin was pitch black. Suddenly, a pair of red eyes flashed quickly.

...

The next morning.

When Hu Sangou arrived at the construction site, he found that a long cordon had been set up at the site the night before. Two police cars were parked outside the cordon, and several uniformed security guards were busy at the cordon.

"How did Cao Ming and Cao Li die?!"

I was drinking with the foreman yesterday!

how so!"

...

At the construction site, the workers were talking animatedly.

Hu Sangou walked to the edge of the cordon and saw Cao Li and Cao Ming's bodies lying next to the coffin. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, a uniformed police officer walked over and asked, "Are you Hu San Gou?"

With the help of his colleagues, Hu Sangou stood up and said shakily, "It's me."

"I'm from the Tongcheng Police Station. Come with me here to make a statement..."
