Tao Xiaoxi was awakened by the pungent smell of tung oil and the harsh metallic sound of hammers hitting nails.
Black, pure and intense. A cacophony of sounds, mingled with heart-wrenching wails, filled the air. But the sound seemed muffled by thick walls, clear yet distant. She was vaguely aware of the cramped space she lay in. Just then, a voice called out, "Enough tung oil, bring the rooster." Tung oil? Rooster? Wailing? Nails? So, what she was lying in was... a coffin...? !
Tao Xiaoxi's entire body from scalp to toes was numb.
Calm down, calm down, calm down! Tao Xiaoxi forced herself over and over in her heart, you are the cutest person in the world, you are loved by everyone, flowers bloom when you see them, and tires burst when cars see you. You are sincere, generous and polite to others, you are rich and live a good life, there is no reason for you to be framed, so what went wrong? No, no, the most urgent thing now is to escape!
She tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't see anything. Instinctively, she reached out to break through the darkness, but found that she couldn't move. Her hands and feet were tied! She immediately opened her throat to scream for help, but after a few hysterical screams, she gave up. Her mouth was also blocked. Someone was deliberately trying to kill her!
Trapped in this cramped box, dying becomes easy, but living becomes difficult.
But I am unwilling to accept it!
She twisted her body with all her might, banging her head against the coffin, trying to attract the attention of the people outside. But before she could reach the wooden board, she bumped into a soft object. The object groaned, and Tao Xiaoxi instinctively bounced back, away from it. But the next moment, she was ecstatic. This was—a person?
She mustered up all her strength and courage and bumped into him again. The man grunted again, even louder than before. He was alive! Alive!
Next, Tao Xiaoxi rolled towards the man with all her strength, using her chin, head, buttocks and everything else she could to hit him, kick him and wake him up.
Finally, the man responded.
A heavy groan, as if coming from hell, passed through eighteen levels and reached her ears. It was decayed, rotten, and yet full of new power. To Tao Xiaoxi, this sound was like the sun in the darkness giving her hope, and like the rain after a long drought giving her comfort.
She continued to hit him, kick him, and butt him.
Suddenly, she felt something pressing against her waist, and this sensitive and special position forced her to stop.
The other party seemed very satisfied with her reaction. He loosened his grip on her hand and said, "Don't move." The voice was weak, but it sounded like a plea.
Although Tao Xiaoxi sympathized with the other person, she didn't want to be buried alive, so she continued to twist.
At this moment, a pair of large hands came around and held her tightly. "I told you not to move!" His voice was trembling, as if he had used up all his strength.
"Mmmm..." Tao Xiaoxi shook her head repeatedly. Her purpose was very clear - get out!
"Don't move, I'll take you out." The man spoke again with difficulty, as if he had seen through her thoughts.
Tao Xiaoxi really didn't move. The man's voice was very pleasant and inexplicably bewitching. The fact was that she had no strength left. Her clothes were sticking to her body. She could already feel the breath of death and she could hardly breathe.
She felt herself getting lighter and lighter, more and more ethereal, and about to fly...
Li Nanshan felt that the person in his arms had fainted. Although her body was still very weak, after the "torture" just now by the girl, he obviously had some strength to recover. He raised his hand and smashed it hard on the top of the head, punch after punch.
The Li family was just about to tie up a fat rooster and place it on the head of the coffin when they heard a thud from inside. The Li family head and the Taoist priest looked at each other, thinking it was an illusion. Just as they were about to continue, a sudden burst of thuds came again. This time everyone heard it, and some people immediately fled in panic, still shouting "The corpse is resurrecting!"
For a moment, the scene was in chaos, with children crying, women running, and people stumbling around, scared out of their wits.
Old man Li was about to go look for the Taoist priest, but he was nowhere to be found; he had already run away.
"Hurry, hurry, fix the coffin!" Old man Li immediately thought of what Sun Wangcai reminded him when he handed the body to him. He made a prompt decision and the veins on his neck bulged out, not knowing whether it was because of anxiety or fear.
"Old Li, this... this, inside, there is..." Li Kuangfu, one of the Eight Immortals, advised tremblingly.
"Open the coffin, open the coffin, my son is not dead, he is reluctant to leave!" The old woman of the Li family threw herself on the coffin and burst into tears.
"Get out of the way, you silly woman. Your son died, you saw it with your own eyes!" Old man Li picked up his wife and ordered the eight people to fix the coffin again.
But as the dull thumping sounds continued, no one dared to move.
"Carry the coffin, carry the coffin, everyone, carry the coffin!" Old man Li made up his mind and decided to bury the body early.
At this moment, a dull call was heard, "Dad..." This voice shook the world and made ghosts cry. Although it was weak, it was captivating.
Old man Li stumbled and fell to the ground. Before he could react, Mrs. Li pounced on him like crazy...
Tao Xiaoxi had already flown quite far. Seeing the bright, beautiful scenery ahead, the lush green grass and the colorful falling petals, she felt a sense of peace and wanted to stop, but suddenly a bright light from behind pulled her back. Suddenly, a splitting headache came over her, and her head was buzzing. She fell back into the bottomless abyss. She waved her arms desperately forward, but she couldn't grab anything. She let an indistinguishable air current hit her in a daze: Tao Xiaoxi, Sun Wangcai, Sun Beibei, Li Nanshan, Li Nanqiu, and Yao Youhua jumped into the river and were buried together...
