Changsheng coffin shop

Xie Mian stood at the gate of the empty stadium and was stunned for 5 minutes before grabbing a girl's arm: "Hi, may I ask..."

The girl took off her earphones and looked at the boy in front of her. She had black and long eyelashes, her fair face was slightly reddened by the scorching sun, fine beads of sweat hung on the tip of her nose, and her panting lips made one want to bite Take a sip.

The girl blushed and said, "What's the matter, little brother?"

Xie Mian pointed to the gymnasium and asked, "Excuse me, where did this community go? Tiansheng Garden."

The girl gave him a strange look, and took a few steps back defensively: "Why are you looking for Tiansheng Garden?"

Xie Mian let out a sigh, and said with some uncertainty, "...I used to live here."

The girl turned pale with fright, and said with a trembling voice as if she had seen a ghost: "There is no community here, it used to be a mass grave, and the gymnasium was built when there was no land for development in the past few years, you... Did you get the wrong place? "

The home where I lived for 19 years turned into a mass grave overnight, just kidding!

Xie Mian smiled at the girl with difficulty: "Thank you, then I may have misunderstood the place."

He looked up at the familiar sky and the extremely dense smog in Nancheng, and raised his hand to stop a taxi. The driver looked at him and opened the trunk.

Xie Mian put the suitcase away with great effort, opened the back door and sat in. The air-conditioning in the car slightly dispelled the heat outside and calmed down his mind a bit.

"You just graduated." The driver approached him very talkatively: "Just your two suitcases, I don't need to ask you to know that you are a graduate this year. Which company should we report to?"

Xie Mian rubbed her head: "The police station."

"Ah?" The driver was obviously stunned. Xie Mian was a little irritable when he stared at him, and scratched his head in a mess. His family was gone, and his parents who loved him were gone. It's turned upside down.

"Master, I would like to ask you, is there a place called Tiansheng Garden here?" Xie Mian suppressed the irritability in his heart and asked softly. The bluestone stream is very comfortable to the ears.

"Tiansheng Garden..." The driver didn't speak, but looked at him for a long time, hesitant to speak, and asked cautiously, "Where are you from?"

Xie Mian resisted the urge to roll his eyes, just now he swore that he was a fresh graduate, so he wondered where he came from?

"I..." As soon as Xie Mian opened his mouth, the driver interrupted him and lowered his voice mysteriously. It sounded eerie on this hot day, which made Xie Mian feel very uncomfortable.

"In the past, there was a cemetery called Tiansheng. Later, the higher-ups said that burials should be completely eradicated, and they built a rest hall for the compulsory relocation of graves. Now there is a coffin shop on top of it. What is it called..." He thought for a while, then slapped his forehead: " Oh, Changsheng Coffin Shop, it’s weird that there’s no one around, there’s a funeral-themed hotel at the back, and there’s a sign on it, saying that if you stay for seven days, you’ll get a one-day trip to the underworld. Who would dare to live here? Tired of living."

The more Xie Mian listened, the more confused he became. What is it all about? It's a cemetery and a coffin shop. He didn't read the almanac when he went out today, so it's a bad idea?

"Here we are." The driver stepped on the brakes and stopped smoothly on the side of the road. Xie Mian glanced at the stop line, it was like a textbook.

He took out the money and paid, and walked nervously into the gate of the police station with his two big suitcases in hand. The guard at the gate saw him walking in and hurriedly stopped him: "Hey kid, what are you doing! Headless fly It seems that you can break into this place!"

Xie Mian looked up at him, bowed obediently, and when she raised her eyes, her eyes were flushed red, and her voice trembled with grievance, "Uncle, my parents are gone."

Hearing this, the guard hurriedly walked out of the sentry box, took his suitcase with kindness and carried it in, asked some rough questions, and then led him to the report office, knocked on the door and said, "Fang team, this The child came to report that his parents were missing."

**

After Xie Mian came out of the police station, he walked down the streets of Nancheng in a daze. The surroundings were empty, and the cold-colored street lamps shone palely on the ground, casting two shadows on him one in front of the other.

He inadvertently lowered his head and was startled, remembering that it was because of the streetlights, how could a person have two shadows, rubbed the space between his tired brows, heaved a sigh of relief and continued walking along the street.

The stars in the night sky were sparse, and he couldn't help but miss his parents even more. Looking at the dark night, he suddenly became dazed, feeling lost and lonely that there was no place for him.

——Your name is quite special, there is no one with the same name as you in Nancheng.But Xie Hailou has three, one is 82 years old, one is female, and the other is seven years old this year.Little friend, you are not here to make trouble, are you?

He rubbed the center of his brows tiredly, his mind was full of what the household registration police officer at the police station said, he stroked it over and over again carefully from beginning to end, but still felt dazed.

What is the power that can make living people and entire buildings disappear without a trace overnight?Even erase the traces of their existence?

Xie Mian firmly believed that his memory was correct, because he remembered what was on that road, and even remembered that he buried a small iron box under a certain tree. Although the contents were gone, the box was still there, proving his memory At least part of it is true.

What went wrong, he didn't know.

He walked for a long time, but he didn't see a taxi. He took out his mobile phone and called a taxi. Let's go back to school first.

From now on, he can only rely on himself, he must find out what is going on with all these changes, and find his parents!

But on his own, where can he find it?

He sighed, he didn't pay attention for a while, and suddenly bumped into a black figure head-on, and then he was thrown out with a huge force, his elbows and palms were scratched with a layer of oily skin.

There are faintly huge footprints on the clean and tidy ground, as if they just came out of the mud, stepping on the road little by little, leaving puddles of muddy water.

"Hiss..." Xie Mian seemed to have been stabbed on the back of his hand, and it was extremely painful.

nobody.

The entire streets of Nancheng were empty and quiet, but the stench around him was getting stronger and stronger. He could even feel a soft, sticky, saliva-stained tongue on the back of his neck, about to swallow him in one gulp. !

Could it be that, before he found out the reason for his parents' disappearance, he was going to...

The street lights went dark in an instant, Xie Mian couldn't see anything, and a layer of cold sweat burst out from behind, Xie Mian held his breath, and stepped back step by step, suppressing the overwhelming feeling in his stomach.

This invisible danger is the most terrifying.

He always felt that something was sticking to his ear, flying past his body, and there was a faint tick-tock sound, sticky.

There must be something, panting low not far away, waiting for the opportunity to tear him apart!

"Heh, where did the lonely ghost come from?"

A very soft male voice seemed to pierce the night sky out of thin air, with the coldness of frost and snow, and a little carelessness.

At the same time, the thick stench turned into a sharp scream, which turned into a low howl before it stopped abruptly, as if it was crushed by a big hand out of thin air.

Be quiet.

The lights turned on one by one, Xie Mian looked at the pale light, the ground was clean and tidy without even a drop of water, let alone mud or mucus.

If it wasn't for the wound on his palm, he would almost think that everything just now was his hallucination.

Xie Mian pressed his chest and panted violently, Xie Mian propped his hands on the ground limply, panted like the rest of his life after a catastrophe, and looked at the still silent night sky.

I don't know who the person who just saved him is.

**

It was almost 09:30 when we returned to the dormitory, Xie Mian endured the pain and found the key to open the dormitory door, Zhao Bin had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and was wandering around the dormitory wearing a pair of shorts, when he heard a voice turning around: "Hey, why are you back again? "

"Stay for a few more days." Xie Mian put the two big boxes back under the bed one by one, lying on the bed as if tired and paralyzed, not wanting to talk, no one could understand what happened to him today, so he simply stopped talking.

"Have you eaten yet?" Zhao Bin found out a box of instant noodles and asked him, "May I make one for you?"

Xie Mian hummed weakly: "Thank you, I want tomato beef."

Zhao Bin gave him a blank look, and said in his heart that you are still picky about the taste, and some are good to eat. While boiling water, he tore up various seasoning packets of instant noodles and poured them in one by one. Xie Mian had a bland taste, so he only put Half of the seasoning, braised on a fork.

Xie Mian is the smallest in their dormitory. Although she is not short, she just looks small, probably because she is white and has a baby face, and her voice is a bit milky. When she smiles, her eyes are crooked, and her right cheek is faintly visible. Li Wo, because he has no family, so they always take care of him involuntarily.

He is also likable, has a good temper and never gets angry, and always helps patiently if there are any problems.

"Xie Mian, what's on your back?" Zhao Bin leaned over and patted his back lightly. There seemed to be some dirt on his white shirt, and it lay on his back faintly like a human face. frightening.

He looked at his fingers, and it seemed that a little bit was on his hand, but he rubbed it, but didn't wipe it off.

Xie Mian let out a sound and turned her head to look at it. She couldn't see it, turned over and sat up, took her pajamas and went to the bathroom: "I'm going to take a shower."

Zhao Bin looked at the face behind him that moved with his movements, and his heart was frightened, where did he get it.

Xie Mian turned her back to the mirror and looked sideways. There seemed to be some gray stains on the shirt, which was vague and didn't feel like a human face. It probably rubbed against it somewhere.

He turned on the faucet, put his hands on the side of the sink to suppress the soreness in his eyes.

——How old are you, and you are still so frizzy, if there are no parents in the future, it depends on what you will do!

——Mom can't be with you for a few days. You have to take good care of yourself in the future.

Xie Mian thought at the time that his parents were only in their early forties this year, at least they could live together for another 40 to [-] years, and he didn't take it to heart.

Young people don't know what it's like to be sad, and old people don't know how to feel it.

However, he didn't go home for a month, and his parents suddenly disappeared from this world, leaving no trace of their existence.

It wasn't until now that the circles of his eyes were really red. He wiped his face hard to force back the tears, took a deep breath and turned on the faucet, but he didn't find an extremely long hair in the mirror of the bathroom, hanging quietly like a hanging rope. with.

After Xie Mian took a shower, she came out in her pajamas, sat at the desk on one side and watched Zhao Bin reading a book while taking off the cover of the instant noodles. Tears suddenly fell, dripping into the noodles.

Zhao Bin was taken aback, and hurriedly picked up the noodles to take a look. It wasn't expired, and it smelled normal, and his instant noodles skills were among the best in the dormitory. Why is it so unpalatable and crying?

Xie Mian blinked and smiled a little: "It's a bit spicy."

Zhao Bin looked at the packaging box of instant noodles. The bright red and pink flavor of tomato and beef, the sweet and sour soup, are so spicy.

"Did someone bully you when you went out today?" Zhao Bin looked at his expression tentatively and asked him uncertainly.

Xie Mian has always been very obedient, and his grades have always been among the best. Although he has a bad background, he can easily get scholarships every year. I haven't seen him fall in love in the four years of college.

What happened to him when he went out today? Zhao Bin was a little panicked. He had never seen Xie Mian cry. He even struggled to coax a girl, let alone a boy. do not Cry.

"If you don't like it, then I'll exchange it with you. I haven't eaten that yet." Zhao Bin changed the instant noodles: "I'll eat yours."

"No need." Xie Mian raised his head, his nose was a little blocked because he wanted to cry, and he looked at Zhao Bin with red eye circles, and when he saw him pointing behind him, his face turned pale instantly, and he screamed: "Fuck, shit, shit!" There is a ghost!"

Xie Mian looked back.

An invisible passage appeared out of nowhere outside the window. The two men with no faces in front were slender, holding two dark green lanterns like hemp sticks, and swayed forward like a sedan chair.

In July, even the glass was covered with a layer of frost, Xie Mian couldn't help shivering, feeling his hairs stand on end.

They stopped in front of the window, Xie Mian tightly squeezed her trembling lips, watched them turn sideways respectfully, and let a way out, and then a man in white walked out.

"Boss, you've had enough fun and you should go home. If Ba Ye finds out, you should be punished again."
