408: Chapter 408 Coffin

Meanwhile.

Inside a dilapidated house.

A person entirely wrapped in filthy clothes stumbled inside.

After entering, he immediately hid himself away.

Hoo... Huhu...

Scared to death!

He finally found a coffin and immediately rolled inside, not caring if there was anything else in there.

At the same time, he turned his head to look outside.

Seeing that no one had arrived, he finally let out a slow breath of relief.

This place...

was his home.

This broken-down place once housed a family of three.

However, due to an accident, a coffin was added here, and the person lying inside was his father.

As for the mother of this filthy person, she naturally ran off with another man during that difficult era.

As for where she went, he didn't know.

"Dad, whether I can survive this calamity this time depends on you!"

Soon, the man took a deep breath, and from beneath his mask, a pair of fierce eyes were revealed.

Looking at the already somewhat decaying body inside the coffin, the man felt no disgust; instead, he felt a bit smug.

It seemed no one had come here for several years, so he could escape this disaster.

Although their village looked unremarkable, it was rumored that their ancestors had a Dragon Vein, and when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, this was the very first place for imperial sacrifices in the capital!

Bearing Heaven and Earth!

Its significance was immense!

Many people had returned from outside, many of whom had succeeded in business and become wealthy!

There were even quite a few who had gotten rich stealthily!

Normally, they kept a low profile, but when it mattered, they were quite capable!

This just happened to create an opportunity for him!

Soon, the man recalled obtaining three hundred million in funds from the state, but he was struggling to liquidate it.

Thus, he could only try this method.

If he could truly escape this calamity, then the rest of his life would be filled with endless money! Glory and wealth!

He had even heard when entering the village that a lavish spender had appeared here...

Just the money given to the Village Entrance Aunties was one million per person!

Good heavens!

If he hadn't guessed wrong, that person's financial standing was exactly at his own level.

As such, he could use this point to pull a switcheroo!

When those people focused their attention on that innocent young man, that would be his time to slip away!

With his skill and ability, laundering three hundred million would only take one night!

Of course, it would be even better if that innocent young man went to prison in his place!

That's right!

It was this man who made the report to the police back then!

Soon, the man began fantasizing about taking the money and indulging in debauchery and carefree living.

Partying in bars every day, being the bride every night!

How could it not be delightful!

Just thinking about the stimulating scene, a gleam of light burst from the man's eyes.

Even his father, who was decaying beside him, seemed appealing to him.

"Hehehe... Dad, bless me. When I get out, I will definitely burn two beautiful women for you! I know you old man usually likes to stare at those big-assed, big-chested foreign babes. I'll burn two real ones for you later!"

"..."

Licking his dry lips, the color in the man's eyes became even more frenzied!

And just at this moment!

Klang!

The sound of the main door crashing to the ground was heard.

The man's heart tightened, and he immediately became nervous.

He suppressed his breathing, focused all his attention, and subtly moved his ears, clearly hearing the movement outside.

"This is the last house left, right?"

"Maybe... perhaps we shouldn't? This broken house hasn't seen anyone return for years, it'll probably collapse in another two years."

"Exactly! Our Village Entrance Aunties watch the returning villagers more carefully than anyone, but they never saw Little Six return."

"I heard that guy was tricked into Northern Myanmar long ago and died outside."

"That guy was idle and shiftless since he was little, not much different from that drunkard. Same mold!"

"Being tricked into Northern Myanmar is just a natural consequence."

"How about we just leave? Inside there's only Little Six's father's corpse, which no one has buried, and it's already rotten... It's terrifying. I heard this place is often haunted at night."

"..."

The crowd murmured amongst themselves.

Upon mentioning Little Six's father, everyone's expression immediately changed.

Not long ago, no one knew who posted a picture of Little Six's father's rotten face in their village group chat, scaring many people into sleepless nights.

Some were unable to recover for over a month.

But the person who posted the picture was later identified by the crowd, only to find no such person existed.

Some even said that perhaps Little Six's father did it intentionally, just wanting to scare them.

The crowd took it as a ghost coming out to give them a fright.

And they were even more wary of this place.

No one dared to step forward.

Rural people are most superstitious about these things.

Fearing that carrying Little Six's father's coffin would bring some unclean things upon themselves, this coffin had remained there, and no one dared to move it.

"Forget it?"

At this moment, Zhou Ze licked his dry lips.

He glanced ahead; there was no trace of a living person.

As for the remote corner of the main hall, a large coffin lay there, emitting a nauseating odor...

If there were any living people, they wouldn't be in such a place...

"How about we just drop it?"

This dark-faced man couldn't let Zhou Ze be the one to speak, so Xu Mu finally voiced these words.

He slowly spoke up to suggest.

"Mmm... I also think disturbing someone's rest is not a good thing."

"Besides, we've investigated everyone in the village and haven't found anything... Perhaps this is just a diversion; the other party just wants to shift our attention."

"The more it is like this, the more we should focus on defense and must not let him slip through the cracks!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they were quickly approved by the others.

They all nodded heavily.

"That's true!"

"I think we should hurry back..."

"..."

Meanwhile, the man lying in the coffin chuckled.

Too good!

These fools!

They really don't know I'm here.

It'll be fine once they leave!

Then I can live freely!

"Wait a moment!"

Just at this moment, a different voice spoke up.

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads in unison.

The person who spoke was none other than Lin Heng.
