When asked about this, Uncle Nine stood up and walked around the house a few times, he stopped and said: Tomorrow the sun will come out, you take Zhou Xiaolong to your first wife's grave to have a look, you now, prepare something for Zhou Xiaolong......

There were many empty rooms in the farmhouse, and Zhou Xiaolong and Uncle Nine found a place to rest.

Before the sky was completely bright, the courtyard became noisy, which woke Zhou Xiaolong up.

Zhou Xiaolong went out to see that Uncle Nine was already standing in the courtyard to direct the action.

In the courtyard, there were five or six people standing, all of whom were bold men from the same village that Liu Ming had found, and each of them had a strip of red cloth tied to their wrists, and Uncle Nine himself tied one.

Uncle Nine turned around and saw Zhou Xiaolong come out, and tied one to Zhou Xiaolong's wrist, Zhou Xiaolong guessed that the red cloth strip was used to ward off evil spirits, and he didn't ask Uncle Jiu, but Zhou Xiaolong's courtyard people looked very much like the peasant army that was going to revolt, and Liu Tiezhu was also among them.

Everyone prepared breakfast together, and instead of fritters and gruel, there was wine and meat on the table, which was specially prepared by Liu Ming.

A few strong men were not polite, rolled up their sleeves and put the meat in the bowl with bamboo chopsticks and put it in their mouths, and then drank a lot of wine, as if they looked at death as home.

Zhou Xiaolong was suddenly infected by the atmosphere, his blood boiled, and he picked up the flatbread and rolled the beef, because he was hungry, and his appetite was great.

After eating this sturdy breakfast, Uncle Nine took out six brand-new hoes, and the hoes were also tied with red cloth strips, which were the same as those on their wrists, and distributed them to the six strong men.

Zhou Xiaolong asked Uncle Nine in a low voice: Uncle Nine, what are you doing with so many hoes? Didn't you say that you don't dig graves for people?

Uncle Nine didn't have time to answer Zhou Xiaolong's question, he had already begun to skillfully fold a piece of yellow sheet paper, then tore it into pieces, and began to write some twisted and crooked symbols with a brush glued with cinnabar, like calligraphy like a spring.

Zhou Xiaolong couldn't understand it, Uncle Nine wrote more than a dozen in one go, and then everyone sent one, saying: Put a talisman in everyone's pocket, so that they will not be attacked by yin qi and protect the yang energy of each of Zhou Xiaolong's people.

Then, Uncle Nine said, "If any of you have been sick recently, or have handled funerals at home, don't go with them."

One of the men asked Uncle Nine: My second uncle passed away a few days ago, does it have any impact?

Uncle Nine said: You'd better not follow, give the hoe in your hand to someone else.

Liu Tiezhu took the hoe and said: Ninth uncle, is Zhou Xiaolong okay?

Liu Tiezhu looked strong, Uncle Nine nodded, bounced the leftover wine with his hand and flicked it on everyone's body, and then said: It's all ready, let's go together!

In this way, Zhou Xiaolong and Uncle Jiu, Liu Ming and Liu Tiezhu, as well as five strong men, and nine people walked towards the mountain together.

Why go up the mountain? Because Liu Ming's first wife was buried in the mountain.

Zhou Xiaolong's group of people walked out of the narrow passage between the houses in the village, walked along the river for a while, and crossed a few fields, Zhou Xiaolong looked back and saw that the village was far behind him.

Liu Ming pointed to a small mound in front of him and said: This piece of land belongs to Zhou Xiaolong's family, and a lot of walnut trees are planted, because the guests of the farmhouse like to come here to pick walnuts, and the grave of Zhou Xiaolong's ex-wife is buried there, but the body has been cremated, only the ashes remain, and only a small grave has been erected.

Uncle Nine pinched his fingers and said: Your choice of this place is not very good, the yin qi is relatively heavy, in the middle of the woods, how can you bury the immortals?

Zhou Xiaolong saw that in the middle of several walnut trees, a small dirt bag was raised, if Liu Ming didn't remind him, Zhou Xiaolong wouldn't think that it was a tomb at all.

Uncle Nine said to everyone: The person holding the hoe, take the cemetery as the center, a radius of five meters, dig a shallow soil ditch, not particularly deep, one foot wide, half a foot deep is enough, now everyone starts to work!

These strong men are all good at doing farm work, and after a while, the circle with a diameter of nearly ten meters was completed, and Uncle Nine had been observing something in front of and behind the cemetery, Zhou Xiaolong walked up to Uncle Nine and said to him: Uncle Nine, the circle on Liu Tiezhu's side has been dug up, and then how to do it?

Uncle Nine's expression was very relaxed, and Zhou Xiaolong felt that Uncle Nine had already figured it out in his heart.

Zhou Xiaolong asked Uncle Nine curiously: Hey, Uncle Nine, have you already cracked this ghost matter?

Uncle Nine said: I'm not sure yet, and it's not time yet.

Zhou Xiaolong asked anxiously: When will it be time!!

Uncle Nine glanced at Zhou Xiaolong and said: It's not your daughter-in-law, why are you in a hurry?!

Zhou Xiaolong was very depressed, okay, okay, if you don't say it, you won't say it, why are you complaining so much.

Zhou Xiaolong followed Uncle Jiu, Uncle Jiu took a bag of rice from Liu Ming's hand, opened the rice bag, Zhou Xiaolong smelled a bad smell, Zhou Xiaolong asked Uncle Jiu: What kind of rice is this, Uncle Jiu, is it moldy?

Uncle Nine told Zhou Xiaolong: Rice is ordinary rice, but Zhou Xiaolong has mixed in some realgar, yin and poisonous things, and is most afraid of realgar, snakes, insects, rats and ants are also the most afraid of realgar......

Zhou Xiaolong asked: Are weasels afraid?

Uncle Nine said: Weasels also belong to the category of rats, do you say you are afraid?

Uncle Nine walked around the shallow ditch that had just been dug, while sprinkling realgar rice in the shallow ditch, and then asked the people who followed to fill the shallow ditch with soil, the whole work took more than two hours, and Uncle Nine said to everyone: Today's work is complete, let's disperse.

Zhou Xiaolong just wanted to ask Uncle Jiu, but Liu Ming hurriedly asked: This is the end, will Zhou Xiaolong's daughter-in-law still get sick?

Uncle Nine said: Just now Zhou Xiaolong set up a firewall around your ex-wife's grave, ghosts can only come out at night, if it is really your ex-wife's ghost who is haunting, then the ghost will not escape from the firewall tonight, your second wife should not be sick, Zhou Xiaolong wait until it gets dark to take a look, if not, think of other ways.

Zhou Xiaolong and Uncle Jiu returned to Liu Ming's farmhouse courtyard, Liu Ming set up a large table of banquets, and the people who helped just now also sat together, everyone ate and drank, and they had been eating for most of the day.

Then Zhou Xiaolong and Uncle Nine returned to their rooms, and Zhou Xiaolong took a break and waited until it was dark.

Maybe it was because he was too full to eat, and Zhou Xiaolong couldn't sleep, so Zhou Xiaolong asked Uncle Jiu: Uncle Jiu, what's going on with the firewall you dug this morning?

Uncle Nine said: If the ghost does not want to return to the ghost and wander in the world, it also needs a carrier, the best carrier is, of course, in his own grave, the rooster crows during the day, no matter how powerful the ghost is, he has to quickly hide, that is, retreat into his own grave, and then come out to wander at night, Zhou Xiaolong in the morning, Liu Ming's wife's grave was drawn, and sprinkled with very yang Huang Huang, if there is really a ghost, the ghost rests in the grave during the day, and after coming out at night, The ghost can't jump out of the firewall set up by Zhou Xiaolong, since it can't even pass through the firewall, of course it can't come here to scare Liu Ming's little wife.
