Chapter 454 [Train] Rosary
Unlike Zhao Hong and the other two.
In the fields, Chen Ji, Du Tingfeng, Han Bing... everyone witnessed first the head carriage, then the second carriage, the third carriage... a Type 22 green train appeared out of thin air and slowly drove towards their location!
Liu Yan is lying!
The thought flashed through Chen Ji's mind subconsciously.
But what benefit does she get from doing this?
If Liu Yan wanted to harm them, she wouldn't have needed to warn him that Zhang Qiang was a ghost, nor would she have needed to tell them that the railway only had one small section!
"The car is slowing down!"
On the other side, Han Bing had already distinguished the sound of one long and three short horns.
This is an alarm signal.
Depending on the speed, the car will come to a complete stop in a minute or two.
Chen Ji stared at the approaching green train, his heart churning. The train wouldn't stop for no reason; it was very likely coming for them.
Zhangzhai was like a temporary stop.
Is this a signal for us to get on the bus?
But there are still a lot of things to be done in Zhangzhai!
Liu Yan's husband, trapped in the coffin, is about to escape; Zhang Qiang will also be freed from the dice in a few minutes.
And where did Uncle and Wusu go?
If they were still in the village, they should have heard the train, right?
Amidst the clanging of wheels on the tracks, no one noticed the dice in Du Tingfeng's pocket...
The color is gradually fading.
A faint knocking sound came from inside...
......
not long ago.
Are you sure there's one left?
In front of the grove of trees behind the village, Chen Yuetan squatted on the ground, his gaze shifting away from the several messy footprints.
"Ok!"
Wusu nodded.
Chen Yuetan remained silent, gazing into the depths of the woods, where all was quiet.
He had identified from the footprints that three people had been here.
There were two pairs of men's size sneaker prints, and he recognized one of them immediately as Chen Ji's print.
He bought those sneakers.
But the other pair was a bit strange...it was very deep, the shoe size was small, and the flat sole had no anti-slip grooves, like cloth shoes.
"There was a woman with them," Chen Yuetan muttered to himself silently. "Liu Yan?"
"However, three people went in, but only Chen Ji and Xiao Du left..."
This at least proves that my nephew left safely.
I just don't know why Liu Yan brought them here.
Chen Yuetan straightened up and led Wusu deeper into the woods.
It was pitch black here, but I could vaguely see a light in the distance, so Liu Yan must be there.
Is that her home?
clang!
Suddenly, a strange sound rang out from the direction of the only light in the quiet forest.
It sounded like a metal object falling to the ground.
Chen Yuetan immediately held his breath and focused his mind.
A few seconds later, he heard an old man sobbing.
It was coming from an old woman; her cries sounded filled with helplessness and despair.
"Ugh......"
"It's been too long..."
"I can't carry you anymore..."
Why is God treating us like this? Couldn't it have been a little later, or even later?
After muttering those words in a daze, only faint sobs echoed in the forest.
The sound of crying made Chen Yuetan's stomach churn. It was clear that Liu Yan had grown old and had been guarding this village all along. He just didn't know what her condition was now.
He walked cautiously forward, and gradually, through the gaps between the trees, he saw a hunched figure standing alone in front of a dilapidated shed.
The crying was coming from her.
After a while, the old woman choked up and slowly stretched out a hand, as if touching something in front of her.
The skin on that hand was bright red and covered in rotting sores.
Chen Yuetan leaned forward again before he could see clearly that she was actually touching a coffin!
A coffin stood upright, its lid open, revealing a male corpse inside. His face was ashen, and his head was bowed, as if he were looking down at Liu Yan.
...Was Liu Yan's husband not buried?
Chen Yuetan's eyes flickered slightly, but just as he was pondering Liu Yan's words, a crisp metallic sound suddenly rang out again.
clang!
A nail fell off the male corpse.
It was the one nailed to the male corpse's left arm.
Chen Yuetan froze for half a second, then he saw the male corpse open his mouth and say without a trace of emotion:
"No."
It was answering Liu Yan's previous question.
Can we do it later?
No.
Then its left arm, which was no longer pinned down, suddenly stretched out, grabbed Liu Yan's gray hair, and pulled her upwards.
stab-
Liu Yan remained standing in the same spot.
His neck was completely bare.
Her head was suddenly yanked off, and like a decapitated chicken, her hunched body swayed from side to side a couple of times before falling still.
Chen Yuetan's breathing became erratic for a second. He silently covered Wusu's eyes and slowly retreated into the shadows.
With a slight flick of his hand, the corpse in the coffin tossed Liu Yan's head aside. Through the leaves, Chen Yuetan could clearly see the numb expression on that wrinkled face.
Her two cloudy eyes had already dimmed, and the tears that hadn't dried up before slowly flowed out.
Just then, Chen Yuetan suddenly developed goosebumps on his arm for no apparent reason!
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the male corpse, but to his surprise, the sudden chill was not because the male corpse had discovered him!
Even male corpses...
Just like him, he held his head high, his eyes almost popping out, and turned his head blankly, as if searching for something!
Before Chen Yuetan could react, the coffin crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
The male corpse, now freed from all restraints, walked stiffly out of the forest.
In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared.
Chen Yuetan's unease grew stronger. His sixth sense told him that something had definitely happened just now, but he just didn't know it!
Just then, Wusu suddenly pulled Chen Yuetan's hand away from his eyes, turned his head abruptly, and stared in a certain direction.
A rare look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
Immediately, a drop of scarlet blood slid out of Wusu's eye.
"stop looking!"
Chen Yuetan's heart tightened.
“…” Wusu was silent for two seconds, then obediently nodded and closed his eyes.
"It's very noisy."
He said suddenly.
"Waaah, like the sound Thomas makes."
Chen Yuetan's eyes narrowed instantly.
Wusu was referring to the train!
In an instant, he understood that the ghost of Liu Yan's husband was following the train; and Liu Yan's question, "Could it be later?" also referred to the train!
The ghost's goal was to board the train!
Without saying a word, he grabbed Wusu and rushed out, heading straight for the coffin lid!
Liu Yan's skin condition confirmed to him that she was also cursed, so the second bead must be here as well.
The most likely place is her husband's coffin!
He quickly rummaged through the coffin and, sure enough, found a bead embedded in the wooden board at the bottom, which he immediately pulled out.
Without further hesitation, he took out the "marble" he had picked up from Zhang Qiang's house from his pocket.
The two look exactly the same.
Woody, smooth.
It looked as if it had been taken from a string of prayer beads.
"Any more?"
Chen Yuetan spoke very quickly.
“That’s all,” Wusu said. “There are only these two left in the village.”
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yuetan scooped him up and carried him straight to the fields!
