Wang Wen looked around and cried out, "Where's the grassland? Where are we?"

The woman said, "It was like this when I got here. What's wrong?"

Wang Wen scratched his head. "Did I hit my head hard enough to mess something up? It was still grassland when I went to sleep last night." After saying that, he suddenly looked at the woman. "Who are you?"

The woman smiled. "I got lost. Can I travel with you?"

"No," Wang Wen replied without hesitation.

The woman looked puzzled. "Why not?"

"I'm tired."

"Didn't you just sleep?"

"I overslept, so I'm even more tired."

The woman was speechless. "Then I'll wait for you. I'm lost, I don't know where we are, and I don't dare go alone."

Wang Wen looked at the woman for a while, hesitated, then said shyly, "How about... the coffin's pretty big. Want to squeeze in?"

The woman was delighted. "Really? I'm actually pretty scared, too."

"Then forget it. I won't force you," Wang Wen replied at once.

The woman grew anxious. "I mean I'm scared out here, not scared of being inside the coffin."

"You should've said so. I thought you were afraid I was a bad person."

"Of course you're not. I can tell you're a good person just by looking at you."

"But you look like a bad person to me."

The woman was bewildered.

Wang Wen met her gaze and burst into laughter. "I'm joking! Why are you so serious? Hahahaha!"

The woman gave a stiff laugh. "So, can I get in?"

"Of course. Come on in," Wang Wen invited her.

The woman was pleased, a murderous glint deep in her eyes. After all that blather, once I'm inside, I'll kill you.

"How do I open it?"

"You open it yourself."

"I don't know how."
