As soon as he came out, Shen Sang realized something was wrong.

People who are clearly aware that their vitality is slipping away and that they only have two or three days to live are usually afraid or have other complex psychological problems. Also, because they have not much time left, they will have a special facial expression, that is, the appearance of a dead person.

People with this kind of appearance have dull eyes, but this person is different. Even though his complexion is very ugly, his eyes are bright, with a kind of yearning, as if he is yearning for his future destiny.

No one would yearn for this kind of death.

Unless death brings him anything.

Shen Sang didn't say anything for the time being.

When the old village chief saw him coming out, he immediately said, "Ni Kangba, there was a village meeting just now, why didn't you go over?"

Ni Kangba coughed for a long time before he said slowly in a hoarse voice, "I feel unwell."

He didn't even want to say anything extra.

The old village chief was a little helpless. "Well, have you seen Teacher Xue recently? You should know that Teacher Xue is missing, right? Teacher Xue was very nice to you before. Have you seen Teacher Xue?"

Ni Kangba's eyes darkened a little, and after a long while, he uttered two words, "No."

The old village chief also found it difficult to talk to him, and felt that it was impossible for him to know the whereabouts of Teacher Xue.

Glanced at Shen Sang.

Shen Sang did not look at the old village chief, but just said to Ni Kangba, "Can we go in and take a look?"

Ni Kangba stared at Shen Sang for a while with his strangely radiant yet lifeless eyes before saying, "No."

After saying that, he walked towards the house with a hunched back, not wanting to pay any attention to outsiders.

Shen Sang kicked the gate open without saying a word.

Ni Kangba turned around when he heard the noise and glared at Shen Sang, "What do you want to do!"

After saying that, he started coughing violently again. He fell to his knees and trembled all over. In the late stage of this disease, there is not only coughing up blood, but also pain, severe pain that is simply worse than death.

Shen Sang said, "I'll go in and take a look."

The old village chief didn't expect Shen Sang to kick open the gate. He was startled and followed him in. When he saw Ni Kangba's appearance, he felt a little bit sorry.

Ni Kangba didn't say anything else. He slowly stood up and stared at Shen Sang gloomily. He knew he couldn't stop these people from coming in.

"Okay, you can watch it if you want."

Seeing Ni Kangba like this, the old village chief would no longer doubt him.

Shen Sang said no more and looked around the yard first.

In addition to all kinds of junk in the yard, there is also a casually built shed. Under the shed is the stove, which is where people cook.

There was nothing unusual in the yard or the shed.

Then Shen Sang entered the house on the left. There was a smell of medicine in the room, as well as a very unpleasant smell, and even various moldy smells mixed with the smell of death.

A dying person will exude a strong smell.

This is the taste of death.

This room was obviously where Ni Kangba lived. When Shen Sang came in, he knew there was nothing unusual because there was no sound of a second breath inside.

As long as Teacher Xue is still alive, he will be breathing, and she can hear it.

Shen Sang walked out of this room and went to the next room, which was the living room, but it was also messy. There was a coffin on the two stools in the middle, which looked a bit creepy.

When he saw the coffin, Shen Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

found it.

There was the sound of someone breathing in the coffin.

Without saying a word, Shen Sang stepped forward and tried to open the coffin lid.

When Ni Kangba saw her reaching out to push the coffin lid, his eyes widened and he asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want to do!"

He crawled into the house eagerly.

Shen Sang glanced at him.

The old village chief was also startled and stepped forward to stop Shen Sang, "Miss Shen, you must not do that. According to the rules of our Qiang ancient tribe, the coffin lid of a dying person must not be opened at will. Only after the death of the deceased, the relatives can place the deceased in it and then the undertaker can take him to the burial place.

If an outsider touches the coffin at will, he will be reborn as an animal in the next life, which will create a great hatred! Even if there are no relatives, they have to wait until the person dies and let the undertaker place the deceased in the coffin."

Shen Sang suddenly asked, "Ni Kangba will die in a few days. He has no relatives to help him bury him. So has he told the village's funeral procession how to arrange it?"

The old village chief was stunned, not knowing why Shen Sang asked this, but he still answered honestly.

"Ni Kangba has hired his own undertaker and has paid him. However, he requested that the undertaker carry the coffin to the grave dug on the mountain tomorrow afternoon. The day after tomorrow afternoon, he will lie in the coffin himself. The undertaker will then come and nail the coffin shut and bury it directly. The lid of the coffin cannot be opened."

Shen Sang asked, "Don't you think his request is a little strange? Even if he has no relatives and is buried by the undertakers after his death, shouldn't the undertakers open the coffin and put his body in it after he dies, and then carry it up the mountain for burial?"

Isn't what he is saying now unnecessary? He has to carry the body up the mountain first, and then he can lie in the coffin. Aren't you afraid that if he is still alive, they will nail the coffin shut and bury him alive?"

The old village chief touched his head and felt that Ni Kangba’s request was indeed a bit strange.

At this moment, Ni Kangba was staring at Shen Sang.

This woman must have known my secret. No, I must not let her open the coffin.

Shen Sang said: "Teacher Xue is inside."

After these words were spoken, the old village chief was stunned, and Yina and the Xue family were all stunned.

Ni Kangba roared even more angrily, "There is no Teacher Xue in here at all. You just want to open my coffin lid and make me reincarnate as an animal in my next life. You want to ruin my path to rebirth. You are so vicious. I will kill you, I will kill you!"

As he spoke, he rushed towards Shen Sang.

What strength does a dying person have? It's just a waste of his last bit of strength.

Shen Sang took a slight step and Ni Kangba bumped his head against the table next to him, then fell to the ground exhausted.

The old village chief looked at Ni Kangba, who was lying on the ground coughing and trembling, and then looked at Shen Sang.

In the end, he still believed Shen Sang, not for any other reason, but because Shen Sang had once saved his daughter-in-law, and Miss Shen was not the kind of person who spoke or acted recklessly.

"I'll open the coffin!" shouted the old village chief.

If the coffin of the Qianggu people is opened at will, that person will be cursed.

He didn't want Miss Shen to bear all this.

But Shen Sang was standing close, so she had already opened the coffin lid and saw Xue Ningning with her eyes closed inside.

Everyone walked towards the coffin, wanting to see inside.

Ni Kangba, lying on the ground, made desperate breaths in his throat. He had not expected that, with only two days left, he would be able to be buried with the person he loved, but it was ruined by the person in front of him. What right did she have to ruin his path to the afterlife? Why did she want to separate him from Teacher Xue? Teacher Xue was so good to him, and Teacher Xue also loved him. Teacher Xue must want to go to the next life with him!

Everyone walked up to the coffin and saw what was inside at a glance.

When the old couple of the Xue family saw the situation inside the coffin clearly, their legs and feet went weak and they collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, they were supported by Teacher Xue’s fiancé and Yina who were behind them.

Xue Ningning closed her eyes and lay peacefully in the coffin.

She was still wearing a red wedding dress.

The red wedding dress was very old, as if it had been left behind by someone.

She also wore a somewhat rusty phoenix crown on her head.

"Ningning!" The fiancé burst into tears.

The Xue old couple also couldn't stop crying.

The village chief took a deep breath and glared at Ni Kangba fiercely, "Ni Kangba! What are you doing! Why did you tie Teacher Xue here? And, you let Teacher Xue wear her wedding dress and lie in your coffin!"

The village chief suddenly thought of what Miss Shen said when she first came to Bei Village.

Speaking of Teacher Xue's misfortune, if he is not found in the next two or three days, he will die. Ni Kangba also told the funeral procession not to open the coffin, and then he would lie in it himself, and even asked the funeral procession to nail the coffin lid shut...

So Ni Kangba wanted Teacher Xue to be buried with him?

Ni Kangba stared at Shen Sang, "Why did you ruin my path to the afterlife? You will not die well."

Shen Sang said calmly, "You are the one who has to die a miserable death, yet you still want to live with Teacher Xue. Teacher Xue shouldn't have pitied you in the first place. You should have lived like a stray dog. Who the hell do you think you are? Are you worthy of sharing a coffin with Teacher Xue?"

The two elders of the Xue family were crying so hard that they couldn't stop.

Shen Sang didn't bother to scold Ni Kangba. She reached out and pressed one of Xue Ningning's acupuncture points.

Xue Ningning slowly opened her eyes.

She thought she would be in darkness again when she opened her eyes.

That day, she was in the school dormitory and saw that miserable man from the village, hunched over and picking up garbage outside.

I thought about how the villagers said he seemed to have a terminal illness and might not live for many days.

She felt sorry for him and asked him if he wanted some vegetables.

Then he nodded, and she was about to go out to pick vegetables for him, but he suddenly rushed in and covered her mouth and nose with his hands. She struggled hard and kicked over the water bottle under the corner of the table, but her body became weaker and weaker, and then she completely fainted.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying in a very narrow place, still wearing her wedding dress.

This Nikangba appeared before her.

He actually said, "Teacher Xue, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, we are lovers and will eventually get married. My health is not very good in this life, but we will go through life together. In the next life, we will definitely be able to enjoy the good times and beautiful scenery and love each other till we grow old together."

She was so scared that she kept crying, "Did you recognize the wrong person? I am Teacher Xue, a teacher who came to your village to teach. I have a fiancé and I am going to get married to him. It has nothing to do with you."

Hearing her say this, he said gently, "I didn't recognize the wrong person. I know you are Teacher Xue. In the whole village, you are the only one who treats me the best. I know you want to be with me. Although I have a terminal illness and we can't be reconciled in this life, let's go to the afterlife together and be together in the next life."

Xue Ningning was terrified. No matter how she explained, the man wouldn't listen.

It's not that they are in love with each other.

She was shocked to realize that it was her kindness that brought her into such trouble.

She started yelling, trying to attract others.

But when he saw her screaming, the man's expression immediately changed. He covered her mouth and nose, and drugged her to make her unconscious again.

Every time she woke up, he spoke to her gently and fed her. If she didn't eat, he would feed her slowly. He also said it didn't matter if she didn't eat, and that she would be buried with him in a few days. They were so in love that they wanted to be buried in the same coffin.

Xue Ningning was really scared. Only then did she realize that the place where she was lying was his coffin.

She really thought she would end up buried alive in a coffin with him.

But now when she opened her eyes, what did she see?

I saw my parents, my fiancé, Shen Sang whom I had only seen on TV, as well as the old village chief and Yina and the others.

Before Xue Ningning fell into a trance, she thought it was a fantasy before her death.

It was not until she heard her mother's "Ning Ning" that her tears fell and she murmured "Mom".

Xue’s parents finally burst into tears.

Ni Kangba was unwilling to give up. He rushed forward and clung to the edge of the coffin, staring at everyone with hatred and viciousness. "Why did you want to destroy the burial of Teacher Xue and me? Teacher Xue and I love each other. Teacher Xue treats me very well. We want to be together in the next life. You all deserve to die. Go to hell..."

Hearing this nightmarish voice, Xue Ningning finally broke down and cried. Fortunately, she soon realized that she was not dreaming.

Because her fiancé lifted her out of the coffin.

Xue Ningning finally saw the situation clearly, saw who was coming, and saw the environment in the house clearly. She hugged her fiancé and burst into tears, "Agu, am I dreaming?"

A Gu said in a trembling voice, "Ning Ning, don't be afraid, it's okay, we are here to save you."

Xue Ningning broke down and burst into tears.

The old village chief was also extremely angry, pointing at Ni Kangba and cursing: "You are worse than an animal. Teacher Xue is so nice, and he has no interest in you at all. Teacher Xue is nice to everyone, but you want Teacher Xue to be buried with you. You are really not a human being!"

When Ni Kangba heard the village chief say this, he immediately became furious, "You are talking nonsense, Teacher Xue loves me, Teacher Xue and I are in love with each other, Teacher Xue cooks for me every day, Teacher Xue is willing to be buried with me! We will go to the afterlife together, and we can continue to be together in the next life."

Hearing this, Xue Ningning's whole body trembled and she cried even more violently.

She didn't cook for him every day, she just gave him food and vegetables a few times.

Shen Sang could see that this man had become mentally ill.

She said, "Let's take Teacher Xue out first, and then ask the police to come and deal with the rest."

It is definitely impossible to sentence this person. He will not survive the night.

Originally he had two or three days left to live, but after what happened, he was so emotionally agitated that he wouldn't make it to tomorrow morning.

A Gu carried Xue Ningning and left here, and everyone followed him out. Ni Kangba was still behind, excitedly calling Teacher Xue, saying that he wanted to pass away with her.

Xue Ningning tightly grasped her fiancé's arm and cried bitterly. She didn't know if she had done something wrong. Is being soft-hearted also a mistake?

The old village chief stayed here to clean up the mess, while the others left the Ni family.

On the way, Shen Sang felt Xue Ningning's pulse first, "Teacher Xue is fine, just a little frightened, plus he probably hasn't eaten or drunk much in the past few days, so he's a little weak. I'll write you a prescription later, just boil two doses of the medicine and drink it."

Only then did Xue Ningning notice Shen Sang.

Yina stepped forward and told Teacher Xue the whole story.

Xue Ningning was very grateful when she learned that it was Shen Sang who saved her. "Ms. Shen, thank you."
