I can still vaguely remember that Mrs. Liu passed away when I was five years old.

He was the oldest person in the village, and the Liu family was a big family, so the funeral was relatively grand at that time.

It would have been seven or eight years.

A man who had been dead for seven or eight years and now suddenly came out......

Li Lin and I were lying on the wall, and our breathing was short. Old lady Liu walked into the courtyard, and as soon as the fire shone brightly, Li Lin and I were trembling.

This old lady Liu was so old that her face drooped to her chin, and the wrinkles were like dry old bark, and her whole face was black and black. His hands were as thin as chicken paws, and his nails were sharp and long.

Seeing Mrs. Liu, Liu Guozhu hurriedly greeted him, stretched out a hand for Mrs. Liu to hold, and said respectfully: "Grandpa, it's all done." ”

"Your father and mother went up the mountain?"

Old lady Liu looked dry, but she was full of energy. Another person from the Liu family who was my father's generation hurriedly said: "Master, I went up overnight the night before and did it very clean!" ”

Mountain?

Liu Guozhu buried his parents in a mass grave?

Then what we saw last night was Uncle Liu and Grandma Liu, who really deceived the corpse!

There have always been rumors of haunting on mass graves, and in the early years, an old Taoist priest passed by and pointed to the mountain and said a word about the place of great evil.

Burial pays attention to feng shui, and no one will bury the deceased in the place of great evil.

What does this Liu family want to do!

Liu Guozhu helped Mrs. Liu to see the seven coffins, and the old lady took out a lamp from his body with satisfaction, which looked a little familiar, like the kind that the second uncle ordered in front of the tablet.

Seeing the lamp, Liu Guozhu seemed to see a baby, and he was so excited that he stretched out his hands. Old lady Liu didn't give it to him immediately, but told him: "Ding Yunshan is dead, but Ding Er's is back, you still have to be careful in what you do!" After finishing it, we will send the red coffin back, and we can't afford to mess with the contents inside. ”

Liu Guozhu couldn't wait to respond, and the old lady Liu let go of his hand.

Li Lin pulled my clothes at this time and whispered, "Brother Ding Ning, they will send the coffin back, let's go back." This Liu family is evil when they look at it, and if they are caught, it will be over. ”

Old lady Liu spoke in person, Liu Guozhu should do it, there is indeed no need to toss.

It's just curiosity, I can't take my eyes off it at all, I want to see what the Liu family is going to do. Li Lin saw that I didn't respond, so he didn't shout because he was curious.

After sending Mrs. Liu back to the hall, Liu Guozhu came out and lit the lamp in his hand, and the wick burned, and the flames were blood-red, which was different from the second uncle's.

He took the lamp and circled each of the seven coffins three times, and as soon as he took a few steps back when he was done, the corpses in the coffins stood upright.

The Liu family seemed to be used to seeing it, and the thirty-odd people were very calm, and Li Lin and I were so frightened that we almost fell off the wall.

Seeing the corpse get up, the people in the courtyard hurriedly extinguished the lights, and for a while, only the oil lamp in Liu Guozhu's hand was left, illuminating the surroundings blood-red. Liu Guozhu walked in front with a lamp, and after a few steps, the corpse standing in the coffin floated out of the coffin as if it had no weight, and followed Liu Guozhu in a line on tiptoe.

The Liu family hurriedly carried the red coffin and followed, and a group of thirty or forty people quietly went out and walked out of the village.

Li Lin and I waited for them to go far before jumping off the fence and preparing to follow. As a result, when I turned around, I saw Uncle Li standing behind us.

"You two little rabbits, don't go home to sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing climbing other people's walls?"

Uncle Li reprimanded as soon as he opened his mouth.

Li Lin hurriedly said: "Daddy, Old Lady Liu is not dead, he is still alive." More than 30 members of the Liu family just carried the old corpse dug up in the field and the coffin of Ding Ning's daughter-in-law out of the house, as if they were going up the mountain! ”

For fear that the Liu family would go away, Li Lin said in a hurry, and he was going to chase after him, and I also wanted to follow, but Uncle Li pressed his shoulder with one hand, and neither of them could move.

Uncle Li was not surprised at all when he heard that Old Lady Liu was still alive. Carrying me and Li Lin by the collars, he warned and said, "Don't get involved in the affairs of the Liu family, they will return the red coffin sooner or later." If I hadn't found out early today and let you follow you up the mountain, it would have killed you. ”

After speaking, Uncle Li directly carried me and Li Lin home.

I couldn't keep up to see what was going on, I was like a cat scratching, and when I arrived at Li Lin's house, I couldn't wait to ask Uncle Li if the body that Liu Guozhu dug up from the field was a fraud.

Uncle Li is not like the second uncle, which can be seen from the fact that Li Lin knows many things.

Sure enough, when I asked, Uncle Li said, "The corpse dug up from your field is called a corpse, and the corpse keeper seals the seven spirits into the corpse after the death of a person, and then buries them in the underworld, and if the corpse does not decay in a few years, the corpse will be formed." As long as the corpse is determined, Liu Guozhu can make them walk with a single shine of the soul-attracting lamp, which is not a fraudulent corpse! ”

What I saw tonight was similar to what Uncle Li said. First, Mr. Zhang said that the spirit had been decided, and Liu Guozhu used a lamp to erect the body.

I asked, "Are there corpse keepers in our village?" ”

"Nope!" Uncle Li's answer was succinct. Afraid that I would keep asking, he urged me and Li Lin to wash our feet.

I thought back to Uncle Li's words, but I still didn't understand in my heart, Liu Guozhu had a corpse and was carrying a red coffin, what did he want to do?

After washing my feet, Uncle Li didn't drive me home and acquiesced to me staying overnight. Seeing that he was still repairing and planing, he couldn't help but ask him again.

Uncle Li looked up at me and said, "Your daughter-in-law's coffin is not ordinary, it can suppress yin and evil, and add seven corpses to open the way." I estimate that the Liu family wants to enter the forbidden land behind the mass grave, as for what they do, only your second uncle knows, because only your Ding family and the Liu family can enter the forbidden land. ”

The forbidden place that Uncle Li said is the depths of the mass grave, where the light is a little darker than other places in broad daylight.

People in the village usually go into mass graves, but never into the back mountains.

Now it seems that the second uncle sold the field to Liu Guozhu at a price of 100,000 yuan, knowing in advance that there were corpses in the field.

Uncle Li put down the planer in his hand and said, "The Liu family's lamp is called the soul-attracting lamp, and your Ding family's is called the soul-extinguishing lamp." They are all inherited by the Yin Keepers, the difference is that there is a lead, a guard! ”

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect that the Liu family was also a yin keeper, the second uncle said that the yin keeper was the kind of thing that came out of the corpse of the grandfather, but listen to Uncle Li's meaning, the Liu family's lamp can control that thing?

After a little confusion, I wanted to tell Uncle Li about the changes that happened to my grandfather's corpse and ask him what that grimace was.

But before I could speak, Uncle Li stood up, as if avoiding my question, and hurried me and Li Lin back to the house to sleep.

Lying on the bed, all I thought about in my head was Uncle Li's words, and I also thought about my daughter-in-law for the first time......

Early the next morning, the second uncle came to me and saw that I was at Li Lin's house, but he didn't say anything. Standing at the door, he glanced at Uncle Li and left.

The second uncle left home early and didn't match the people in the village, which is not surprising, but it is a little rude to not come in and sit down at the door.

But I can't take care of the adults. After breakfast, Li Lin told his father that we were going to find Chen Xue to make up for the class, and pulled me out with me.

When we passed by the village, we met Liu Guozhu, Li Lin and I were a little scared, but Liu Guozhu saw me and shouted with a smile from afar: "Ding Ning, send the coffin back the day after tomorrow and let your second uncle wait at home." ”

Liu Guozhu's smile, no matter how you look at it, is not smiling.

I didn't care too much about being afraid, so I answered the call and pulled Li Lin and ran to the path.

It wasn't until he couldn't see Liu Guozhu that Li Lin stopped and said, "Look, I'll just say that the Liu family doesn't dare to ask for a red coffin, and my father said, your daughter-in-law is fierce." ”

I don't know why, I think Liu Guozhu said to send the red coffin back, but I don't believe it. But Li Lin's later sentence, I can empathize.

Anyway, I don't have a good impression of my daughter-in-law!

I'm not in a hurry for the coffin, but I always feel that as soon as my grandfather dies, the village will be shrouded in a layer of fog.

Under this fog, people become weird. Especially the second uncle, I always feel that he is borrowing the hands of the Liu family to accomplish something.

I originally wanted to go back and ask about the second uncle's corpse and the soul-destroying lamp, but Li Lin really wanted to go to elementary school and insisted on pulling me.

Chen Xue didn't seem to have classes today, and when we went to her dormitory, we saw her collecting things.

Li Lin thought that Chen Xue was leaving, his face changed, and he was nervous.

The two of us suddenly appeared, which startled Chen Xue, she thought that we were going to come to her to make up for the class, straightened up, and said with some embarrassment: "I can't make up for you today, there are a few students from Qingshui Village in our class, and they haven't come to school for two days, and I plan to do a home visit." ”

Li Lin heard that Chen Xue was not leaving, but just going to visit his home, and immediately said, "Teacher Chen, Qingshui Village is more than ten miles away from here!" You have to climb a few more mountains, it's not safe for you to go alone, why don't you go with me and Ding Ning?"

Chen Xue is from the city, she is not used to walking mountain roads, and she was frightened by Grandma Liu and Uncle Liu on the day she entered the village, and she was also a little weak-hearted. Seeing that Li Lin and I did not have the consciousness to go back to school, they also agreed that we should accompany her.

In front of Chen Xue, I couldn't refuse to say that I wanted to go back.

If you want to go to Qingshui Village, you need to prepare some water on the way. Strictly speaking, Qingshui Village is not really short of water, but it is close to the village, and all the mountain springs in seven or eight miles are very cold.

In the early years, a few strangers drank the water in the mountains by mistake, and when they were discovered, they were frozen purple, and they couldn't warm up with the fire, and they froze to death.

On the way, in order to get close to Chen Xue, Li Lin turned over all the old things and said them again. The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, but the scenery in the mountains is beautiful, and Chen Xue has a digital camera to shoot all the way.

When he climbed the last mountain, Li Lin's words suddenly became less, and he didn't know what to see, and when he was about to go down the mountain, he suddenly came to me and asked me in a low voice: "Brother Ding Ning, do you feel that there seems to be someone following behind us." ”

Along the way, I was thinking about last night, absent-minded. Li Lin's reminder made me pay attention.

After walking for a while, I heard two more footsteps behind me, but when I turned around, I couldn't see anything.

In broad daylight, Li Lin and I were so frightened that our brains broke out in a cold sweat. Chen Xue turned around and saw me standing with Li Lin, took a photo of me with a smile, and asked, "Little ghost, why don't you leave, are you tired?" ”

We didn't dare to say anything for fear of scaring her, and we were scared along the way.

It is estimated that the school called the brigade, and the village head, Zhang Si, was waiting under the old locust tree at the head of the village early in the morning. Just when he saw me, Zhang Si's face sank suddenly, and he asked me unwelcome what I was doing!

Chen Xue hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "The two of them sent me. Village Chief Zhang, there are four children in your village who haven't been to school for two days, do you know what the reason is? ”

Because of Chen Xue's face, Zhang Si can't say anything, otherwise I don't think I will let me enter the village if I look at his face.

Zhang Si heard Chen Xue ask about the students, and said with some embarrassment: "Teacher Chen, you see that it is too late today, and the homes of those students are relatively far away, so I will take you over early tomorrow morning." ”

When it comes to other people's land, Chen Xue can only listen to others' arrangements. However, Zhang Si's eyes flickered when he spoke, as if he was hiding something.

After a simple meal, Zhang Si arranged to live in the brigade. Li Lin and I are both children, and the bunks are connected together, not separated.

After a day of walking, I was a little tired, but Li Lin, this kid, circled around Chen Xue during the day, and when it came to the bed, he refused to sleep next to Chen Xue.

We were all little children in Chen Xue's eyes, and when she saw me and Li Lin arguing quietly about who slept next to her, she giggled a few times, and then looked through the photos in her digital camera.

Suddenly, Lin Xue screamed, threw away the camera, and looked at the camera on the ground with frightened eyes.

I didn't know what was going on, so I hurriedly picked up the camera, which showed a picture she had taken of me and Li Lin at the top of the mountain.

It's just that in the photo, not far from me and Li Lin, there are two pale faces.
