hearse drift

Holding the old photo, Fang Li first found a big cross on the back of the photo with red paint or something else, and then found a line of small characters on the top of the photo.

"On September 2009, 9, it was taken at Qiujing Coal Mine."

At first glance, there was nothing unusual about the photo. Fang Li looked at the photo for a long time. Suddenly, the faces of the people standing in the first row distorted for a moment.

"..." He restrained himself from screaming, and handed the photo to Xie Baiyuan.

Xie Baiyuan asked: "Did you see anything?"

Fang Li hesitated, "Hmm... a ghost photo?"

"Not this," Xie Baiyuan shook his head, "Look again."

So Fang Li bravely looked at the old photo again.After the photo was in Xie Baiyuan's hands, it returned to normal. He was thinking that he knew how to bully even a single photo, but he suddenly discovered a problem.

——"All the people who went down the well were men?"

In fact, the special working environment of coal mines determines that most of the required personnel are men. Women usually do administrative work in coal mines, and rarely go to the mine.

Because of this, if the four male miners who died underground and were not rescued were four male miners, it was a female ghost who kept appearing beside them.

Xie Baiyuan nodded and said, "A worker died in the coal mine. If you want to suppress the news, the first thing to do is to appease whom?"

Fang Li immediately blessed his heart: "Family!"

Gu Feng frowned on the sidelines and said, "But how to appease? With money? Money isn't everything, right? What if someone doesn't accept it?"

There was a smile on Xie Baiyuan's face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and even the words he said sent chills down the spine: "There are many ways to shut up a person, and the simplest and most effective one is to kill him. When a person dies and is buried underground, no one can hear those words.”

Fang Li was quite shocked, but it really made sense if he thought about it this way.

As early as when Ge Qiuping died, he heard Xie Baiyuan say "Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door".

The female ghost may be a family member of one of the four miners who died. The comfort work was not done well, or the two sides did not reach an agreement. The coal mine boss was afraid that she would leak the news, so he simply killed her secretly.

It's just that the sky is watching. Over the past five years, the female ghost has carried out her revenge plan step by step. Her revenge list even includes those who did not report the truth and buried the truth back then.

Of course, these are Fang Li's bold conjectures, and he can't say for sure. He can only wait until noon to find clues in the forest.

Xie Baiyuan put the old photo into his pocket, and said: "Forget about it, go wash up, have breakfast and go down to work in the well. Meet at the east at noon."

He looked at Gu Feng: "You take your daughter..."

Gu Feng didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately stated: "I don't care, I will carry Xinxin on my back when the time comes, and I won't hold everyone back."

Xie Baiyuan seemed to appreciate his attitude, nodded and said nothing.

So the two went back to the bathroom on the second floor to wash up, and after breakfast, everyone followed the miner Lao Li to work in the well as usual.

Before going down the mine, they also heard the news that the coal mine they were in charge of was almost finished mining, and it would take about two days to complete.

In other words, there are two days left before the mission completion deadline.

Because several of them died, there was not enough manpower, so there were four more young miners in the team that went down this time.

One of them, Fang Li, looked familiar, but upon closer inspection, he found out that it was the man who had been chatting with miner Lao Li about the water seepage accident five years ago during the thunderstorm the day before yesterday.

Lao Li is quite silent today, looking preoccupied.

During the break, the young miner sat on the ground for a while, feeling really bored, so he came up to talk to Lao Li.

Ordinarily, Lao Li was the oldest among them, and everyone had to respect him after he went down the well.

The young miner seemed to be quite used to it, so he came up and grabbed Lao Li's shoulders, and said to him, "Old Li, I heard that you submitted your resignation letter yesterday. Are you planning to retire and return home?"

Lao Li glanced at him, and his attitude was a little cold: "In our line of work, every time I can come up from the well with everyone, it is already God's favor, and I have escaped from death. I am old and can't do it anymore."

Someone interjected: "Didn't you say last month that you plan to work for another three years before retiring? You said you don't have a wife and children to keep you warm, who will take care of you in the future?"

Fang Li paid close attention to the situation on this side. He found that when Lao Li was talking, he always looked at a certain place in front of the right, and kept rubbing and moving the little finger of his right hand with his left hand, as if something was holding it there.

He suddenly remembered that he did not know which book he had read before, and the little finger represented promise and integrity.

Just like the female ghost under the bed humming, many people have done the action of pulling the hook with their little fingers when making an appointment with others.

A liar swallows a thousand silver needles...

Fang Li moved his little finger twice. He dared not say such an oath easily.

When eating at noon, the atmosphere was still dry.

After Xie Baiyuan expressed his position, it seems that no one dared to come up to talk easily.

They didn't dare to look at Xie Baiyuan, so they cast all their hopeful eyes on Fang Li.

Fang Li was stared at by several scorching eyes, and he was a little uncomfortable even opening his mouth to eat. He asked Xie Baiyuan in a low voice: "I'm going to the woods later, do you want to call them?"

Xie Baiyuan stopped and glanced around. Those people immediately looked away, staring at their noses, noses and hearts, and ate the food on the plate as if nothing had happened.

"You don't need to call them specially, it's up to them to go or not." Xie Baiyuan said lightly.

Fang Li responded, and showed a friendly smile to Zhao Xue who looked at him cautiously again.

Zhao Xue also smiled back at him, seemingly relieved.

After eating, Xie Baiyuan found two shovels, called Guo Xiangming and Ke Ling, and the four came to the woods.

Fang Li didn't expect so many people to be there—Wu Hongkang, Zhao Xue, and even the two girls who have been crying for the past few days. The ten people who have been confirmed to be alive are all here, and they all took their hands. tool.

This situation is much better than he expected, after all, no one wants to have a group of teammates who are delicious and waiting to die.

After everyone gathered, Wu Hongkang asked: "So, shall we go in later to cut down trees or dig graves?"

Obviously, everyone has heard about the long-haired woman from Zhao Xue, but they still don't know what they want to do here.

The answer given by Xie Baiyuan was simple and rude: "Find a place, cut down trees if there are trees, and dig graves when there are graves."

Wu Hongkang smacked his lips: "All right." That's the only way to go.

After confirming the task, everyone entered the forest together.

The trees in this forest are tall and tall, with dense branches and leaves, almost completely blocking the sun in the sky.

As soon as they entered, everyone felt a sense of gloom, as if somewhere in the woods, there was a pair of eyes watching them all the time.

Fang Li is not used to the feeling of being stared at by people, especially if the other party is probably not a human being.

He rubbed his arms, Xie Baiyuan noticed, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Fang Li: "I feel like a pair of eyes are looking at me."

Xie Baiyuan: "Are you afraid?"

Fang Li pursed his lips: "A little bit."

The corner of Xie Baiyuan's mouth curved, "Do you know what to do at this time?"

Fang Li thought for a while, remembering the time when Lao Li glared at him at the dinner table the day before yesterday, and decided to apply what he had learned, so he hesitated and said, "I... stare back?"

Xie Baiyuan: "..." He held Fang Li's hand with his free hand, and his tone seemed helpless because of the incomprehensible amorous feelings in the other party: "What do you stare at, if you are afraid, just stand behind me."

Fang Li rubbed his nose, and said to himself, who knew you would flirt at this moment.

Guo Xiangming followed closely behind: Hey, the morals of the world have really changed. Even Xie Baiyuan, a black-hearted profiteer, has begun to emit the sour smell of love.

The tree Zhao Xue mentioned is actually very difficult to find, because every tree in the forest grows similarly. If you don’t rely on some distinctive landmarks to remember, it is impossible to find a tree among thousands of trees. It is different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, Zhao Xue recalled that there was a half-person-high boulder beside the tree, which more or less provided everyone with a little purpose.

After 15 minutes, everyone finally found the place Zhao Xue had mentioned.

There was indeed a boulder there, and behind the boulder, there was a small mound.

Wu Hongkang took down the iron shovel on his shoulders, turned his head and asked, "Zhao Xue, is this the place? Should we dig it out and..."

He spoke halfway, but the second half got stuck in his throat.

Zhao Xue stood on the spot with her head lowered, and her short hair, which was originally at the same level as her ears, suddenly grew back in an instant.

This change surprised everyone.

"Zhao Xue? Zhao Xue? You, what's wrong with you?" Wu Hongkang subconsciously stepped back while talking.

Zhao Xue didn't answer, and in just a moment, her hair grew to waist length.Her long hair covered her face, making her look terrifying.

Her skin shrank like dried orange peel, and her nails began to grow, turning an abnormal bluish white.

Fang Li was hidden behind Xie Baiyuan, and noticed with sharp eyes that "Zhao Xue" in front of him was missing half of his right arm.

The answer is already obvious, this is not Zhao Xue at all, or the real Zhao Xue is dead.

No wonder Zhao Xue said that she saw a long-haired woman in the woods, but the long-haired woman did not hurt her.Because since then, Zhao Xue has already been overwhelmed by the female ghost who attacked Fang Li last night.

Everyone stepped aside, looking warily at this female ghost disguised as a companion.

After all, no one expected that this ghost would pretend to be a living person and lurk beside them, eating and drinking with them.

Unexpectedly, Xie Baiyuan's expression was still very calm, or indifferent.He stepped on the shovel and asked straight to the point: "What do you want?"

Obviously, he still hasn't forgotten about the female ghost hiding under their bed last night, trying to drag Fang Li away.

The female ghost's reaction to him was almost the same as when Zhao Xue faced Xie Baiyuan, both with a little fear.It stretched out its left hand and pointed to the small grave under the tree, with a mournful and desolate voice: "Dig..."

Xie Baiyuan glanced at it and immediately understood it.

He greeted the trembling people behind him: "Come and dig the grave, the clue should be in the grave."

Fang Li suspected that if this female ghost had nothing to do with the completion of the task, Xie Baiyuan would definitely raise the shovel and hit it a few times without mercy.
