For example, this old house is the home of Lao Tian, the only coffin maker in the village. He is also the only coffin maker in the area within a dozen or so miles.
There are other funeral homes in the town, but this one is too far away from the town, so people from the surrounding villages have to look for him when someone dies.
Old Tian's business became bigger and bigger, and finally he bought the house of the richest family in the village and married a female college student.
The source of this information is his wife’s former best friend.
One day about five years ago, Lao Tian’s wife was chatting with her best friend and said that something strange happened at home and she didn’t know what to do.
At that time, she had been married for several years and had a son and a daughter with Lao Tian.
She said that one night in the early morning, someone suddenly knocked on the door and asked Lao Tian to help make a coffin. She was half asleep and only heard the other party say a few words to Lao Tian. He actually agreed, picked up his tools and went out.
She quickly got up and tried to remind him that it was already midnight, but when she chased out, there was no one outside.
Old Tian didn't come until dawn the next day.
Old Tian’s wife was worried all night, and the strange thing was that after Old Tian came, the big rooster in the house started crowing non-stop.
Lao Tian said he wanted to drink chicken soup.
Lao Tian’s wife killed the chicken and made soup.
That is from this day on.
Lao Tian’s wife began to notice strange things happening in the house. Sometimes the hens would crow in the middle of the night, and sometimes she would wake up at night and Lao Tian was not around. There was a constant “ding ding dong dong” sound coming from the coffin room next door.
My family hasn’t received any orders recently.
Old Tian seemed to be busy making coffins every night.
What's even more terrifying is.
A few days later, someone died in the village and the body could not be found. That night, Lao Tian's wife clearly saw Lao Tian nailing the coffin lid shut.
The coffin is sealed only on the day of burial.
Once the coffin is sealed, it also means that there will be no "guest" in the coffin.
Lao Tian’s wife was very scared and asked her best friend what to do. Her best friend suggested that she first find out who had asked Lao Tian to make a coffin that night.
So Old Tian’s wife ran out and asked every household.
Hard work pays off, and she really found a clue. That night, a lazy man in the east of the village was drinking with someone. She came late and happened to see Lao Tian following a woman to the back mountain.
The other party also said that he didn't know if he was drunk. He clearly saw that the woman's face was covered in blood, but Lao Tian seemed to be unaware of it and was still talking and laughing with the other party.
Lao Tian’s wife was frightened at the time and did not dare to investigate further.
Her husband was suspected of murder, but she didn't dare report it to the police station, so she pretended to know nothing and just hoped that nothing else would happen.
As a result, a few days passed.
Something even more horrifying happened. That day she went to town to see a doctor for her little daughter, but when she came back she couldn't find her 7-year-old son.
The husband is also missing.
No one came until evening.
Old Tian’s wife was scared and helpless. Finally, she gritted her teeth, picked up an axe and ran to the back mountain. She wanted to see what kind of fox or ghost had taken away her husband and son.
Finally she found a coffin in a cemetery.
It's very rough and unpainted. It must be a semi-finished product made by cutting down a nearby tree.
But this coffin is sealed!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and she chopped open the coffin lid bit by bit.
The next scene almost scared Lao Tian's wife crazy. Inside was Lao Tian's body, his head and limbs were separated from his body, his skin was pale, and some parts had begun to grow maggots and rot.
It looks like that.
It is very likely that Lao Tian died here after going down the mountain that night.
What was it that I returned home with at dawn that day and lived with for more than ten days?
