Chapter 7: The Woman in the Graveyard

Although I knew in my heart that Zhang Zhenren was deliberately tossing me here in order to train me, I still couldn't help cursing him in my heart. In a popular phrase these days, damn it, this is going to kill my rhythm!

Coming to such a place full of dead people, do you think I can sleep in peace? I couldn't even ask me to crouch down and stay still. I was always afraid that something was staring at me where I wasn't observing, and in short, I was creepy. Since I couldn't stay where I was, I looked around in the moonlight, and kept cheering myself up.

I wandered around the mound like this, and most of the graves here were overgrown with weeds, and there were not even tombstones, just a low mound. Of course, there are also some who have tombstones, judging from the photos on the tombstones, these deceased are old and young, which really fulfills the old saying, don't look at you are younger than me, but not necessarily who left early.

After walking around the mass graves, I even found a very beautiful woman on the photo of the tombstone, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she smiled charmingly. I think if he was still alive, there would be a lot of crushes, right?

Fortunately, after walking around like this, except for startling a night bird to scare me, there was nothing unusual happening, which somewhat made me feel more at ease, after all, dead people are dead after all, and it is impossible for them to get up from the ground!

I thought like this in my heart @ one @ Ben @ read - novel xstxt, and then I was not so scared in my heart, or maybe I stayed in the cemetery for a while, and I felt a little adapted.

The night was getting thicker and thicker, and I was getting more and more tired because I had been wandering around the graves for so long after a day's long hiatus. So I found an open space and lay down, ready to squint for a while.

But as soon as my eyes narrowed, I regretted dying. I regret that I shouldn't have looked at the pictures on the tombstones, but now when I squint, all I have in my mind are the pictures on the tombstones. They kept flashing through my mind like a marquee, especially the smile of the beautiful woman.

This made me miserable, so I dared to close my eyes, so I had to sit up and look at the stars again. But there are no stars, no moon, no clouds, no wind, no people, no sounds, is there anything I fear the most?

I couldn't sleep, so I had to stand up again. But as soon as I stood up this time, I noticed the abnormality! Not far in front of me was a field of stumps, and in the midst of that field I found a young woman working in the field with her back to me!

This scared me so badly that I almost fell to the ground without standing firmly. I wanted to turn my head and run to Zhang Zhenren's house, but I thought about it but gave up this idea, after all, I must be here to practice my guts, if I ran back in shock, I would have to be scolded.

But when I saw this scene, I really felt very strange, in the middle of the night, she didn't sleep at home, but dared to come to this kind of mass grave and do farm work in the field?

Who is she? So, with questions and curiosity, I walked quickly towards the young woman, "Miss, are you a human or a ghost?" Why do you still come out to work in the fields in the middle of the night? "I was hundreds of meters away from the woman, and when I got closer to a hundred meters away from her, I started shouting at her. Because to be honest, I really didn't dare to run to her right away.

But even when she called her several times, the young woman did not respond at all, as if she could not hear at all, and continued to do the farm work with her head bowed.

Is it deaf? It became more and more strange in my heart, it stands to reason that she was so close, and when I called her like this, she couldn't hear it for no reason, and it was in such a big night, and the surroundings were dead and silent.

Now that I'm closer, I can almost see her clearly. Although it is just a back, it can still be seen that this woman is very young, wearing a red dress and long hair, especially her figure, which also has a waist and a buttocks. I didn't expect such a beautiful back in the mountains, maybe she was as beautiful as the woman on the tombstone!

Seeing that she did not want me, I went on my way, and at last came behind her, and I said, "Miss, why do you come to do farm work so late?" ”

However, as soon as I finished living, the young woman turned her face to me and smiled darkly, and suddenly I screamed "oops" and fainted to the ground

Because when the light woman turned her face to face me, I saw a face as pale as paper with no facial features, and the most terrible thing was that although there were no facial features, the mold was very similar to the woman on the tombstone before, and my intuition told me that the woman in front of me was the woman on the tombstone!

I don't know how long I was unconscious, but I was woken up by a villager who came out in the morning to work in the fields. When I woke up, my first reaction was that I was dead or not, and when I checked my whole body, I found that there were no missing arms or legs, and I was relieved. However, what made me strange was that when I was about to take out the spirit rune that had been on my chest, I was surprised to find that the spirit rune was actually burned to ashes!

The old villager asked me where I was from and how I came to sleep in the wilderness. I told him that I was Zhang Zhenren's apprentice, and then told him what happened last night. As a result, the old man did not have the slightest suspicion, and told me that the woman had appeared more than once, and that several villagers had met her.

The old man told me: "There are many villagers who have encountered such strange things in this cemetery, and in short, the villagers are rumored that it must be that young woman who does not care about the silence of the underground, so she often comes out to make trouble, especially at night." So you must not come alone to this cemetery in the west of the village again, otherwise you will meet this young female ghost with no facial features next time. ”

Hearing the old man's words, I shivered fiercely, and a sense of fear came over me.

I forgot to take a look at the cemetery, how dare I stay, hurriedly thanked the old man, and immediately ran to Zhang Zhenren's thatched house

As soon as I saw Zhang Zhenren, I was anxious to tell him what happened last night, trying to make him understand that it was dangerous for me to sleep alone in a mass grave. But before I could open my mouth, Zhang Zhenren saw my embarrassed look and said: "Needless to say, even ghosts are afraid, don't say that I am my apprentice when I see outsiders in the future, I can't afford to lose that person, old man!" ”

I felt a few black lines hanging from my head, and a crow flew overhead

That night, Zhang Zhenren still asked me to go to the mass grave to sleep. But this time, he specifically told me not to bother with anyone or anything I saw there, just sleep on my own. Of course, he gave me a spirit rune again, which can be regarded as for my safety.

In this way, two nights in a row were spent in the mass grave, and the young woman was seen in both nights. But the next night I didn't come up to deal with her again, and she didn't mean to harass me, so it was a peaceful night.

On the night of the third day, I was still going to go to the mass grave for the night, but as soon as I went out, Zhang Zhenren called out to me and told me to stay at home tonight, saying that I had something to explain to me at night. I thought to myself, could it be that his old man saw that I was not doing well on the first night, so he wanted to chase me away?

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Zhenren called me into his bedroom. As soon as I entered the bedroom, I was so startled that I almost thought I was dazzled

I saw Zhang Zhenren lying on the bed, but he was wearing a long black robe, and a big golden word "Shou" on the chest of the black robe was very eye-catching.

Although I don't know much, no matter how it is, it's a child from the countryside, and I recognize it when I see the clothes Zhang Zhenren is wearing, isn't this a shroud?

Shroud, commonly known as "old clothes". To put it bluntly, it is the clothes for the dead. Under normal circumstances, when the elderly are full of flowers, the day after tomorrow will be made for the old people to wear clothes after death, which is called longevity, which means health and longevity. Although this kind of clothing will be made before the old man is alive, no one will ever wear a shroud while he is alive.

In Chinese tradition, when a person dies, his or her children wear a shroud for him, and if the deceased is a man, his son and daughter usually take care of him, and if the deceased is a woman, his daughter and daughter-in-law take care of him. In southern Fujian, when wearing shrouds for the dead, the relatives of the elderly should first try them on. After trying it on, use a scale without a weighing hammer to weigh it and say in front of people, "This is what the descendants bought with money." It shows the filial piety of the children and grandchildren.

Shroud generally does not use fur and satin to make, for fear of becoming a beast and cutting off children and grandchildren in the next life, it is mostly made of silk cotton, taking the meaning of "attachment" and "remembrance". The number of pieces of clothes and pants should not be double-happy. Men's shrouds are usually odd in number, with a difference of two between the top and bottom, such as seven on the top and five or nine on the bottom seven, at most eleven and nine, that is, wearing eleven tops and nine pairs of pants (women's skirts can be used instead of pants). Those who die young, that is, those who die before the age of 50, are generally only allowed to wear three pieces. The older the deceased, the more he can wear it, indicating that he or she is blessed and long-lived.
