Chapter 5 Joint Burial Graves

In our mountain, there are three adjacent villages, which are called Shangtang, Zhongtang and Xiatang.

My grandfather and I live in Xiatang, and my uncle's house is in Zhongtang, no matter which village, the old people who have passed away or the young people who have died before they have died must be buried in the cemetery in the back mountain.

It is a sunny slope, which is said to be a treasure land of feng shui, but after so many years, there has not been a single rich and noble person in the three villages.

My cousin and Chen Ying were buried on the sunny slope of the back mountain, and I heard that they were buried together, so when they got down, their cousin was not considered a bachelor.

My illness healed very slowly, I still couldn't see the wind, my body was weak, and in the early hours of the morning, I would have a low-grade fever.

What makes me feel strange is that after so many days, my grandfather didn't come to me in a hurry, and I didn't know what the third uncle and grandfather asked him to say.

There was such a big incident in the uncle's family, and there was some gossip in the whole village, saying that the uncle's family had done something bad about their conscience on weekdays, so there would be such a disaster.

The eldest aunt scolded people in the village every day, and no one dared to persuade her, and she cried as soon as she was persuaded and couldn't stop it.

Originally, I thought that the matter between my cousin and Chen Ying would just pass, but who knew that on the night of Chen Ying's first seven, something happened again.

I haven't slept well these days, as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw the snow-white female corpse dangling in front of my eyes, and I tossed until midnight this night before I fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it took for me to hear a loud commotion outside.

I felt a sudden burst in my heart, and quickly put on my clothes and got out of bed, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.

The third uncle and grandfather were not at home, and I didn't know where he had gone in the middle of the night.

As soon as I arrived in the yard, the caretaker dog of my third uncle and grandfather's house, which had been raised for almost ten years, barked violently, and his voice was extremely poignant.

This is an old dog, docile on weekdays, and when he sees a living person, he will call it twice, as long as he doesn't take the things at home, he doesn't even look at people, what kind of madness is this tonight?

I saw the watchdog standing at the gate of the yard, the fur on his back exploded, and he barked at the gate, as if he was ready to fight hard.

I wanted to go to the door to see if anyone was coming outside, but the old dog turned around and rushed to me, biting my trouser leg and not letting me out.

What's going on?

I suddenly remembered that the old people in the village often said that the old dog was psychic and could see ghosts, and if there was a ghost who wanted to harm people, the old dog would protect the owner.

Tonight is Chen Ying's first seventh, isn't she ......

Before I could figure it out, the noise outside was louder, as if the whole village had gotten up, and it was lively in the middle of the night.

At this time, the watchdog suddenly quieted down, wagged his tail and rubbed it on my lap, and went back to the kennel by himself.

Before I could go out to see what was going on, my third uncle and grandfather came back from outside, his face sad, his brows furrowed and about to huddle together.

"Dongwa, you're up too, come with me!"

As he spoke, the third uncle and grandfather grabbed me without saying anything and walked quickly towards the eldest uncle's house.

Everyone in the village gathered outside the courtyard of my uncle's house, and before I could get to it, I smelled a strong smell of blood, and I squeezed into the crowd and saw a scene that I will never forget in my life.

I saw that the door of the uncle's house was wide open, and the lights were on, and the uncle and aunt were sitting upright on both sides of the square table facing the door, both of them had their stomachs cut open, and there was a deep strangulation mark on their necks......

They're dead!

The expressions on the faces of the two were hideous and painful, and they didn't know what terrifying sight they saw before they died.

The tragic situation of the uncle and aunt made many people vomit directly.

Who the hell killed them?

Their deaths are the same as their cousins, they definitely didn't hang themselves, they killed them!

People in the village said that this was the first seven souls of the daughter-in-law bought by the uncle's family, and the two of them were killed.

Standing in the crowd, I felt chills all over my body, and my body couldn't stop shaking.

"Dongwa, don't look at it, follow me, the matter is serious, I'm afraid that girl has really become a troublemaker!"

The third uncle and grandfather pulled me out of the crowd, and then whispered.

Although I don't have a deep relationship with my uncle's family, after all, I am the only relative besides my grandfather, and even if there is danger, I want to handle the aftermath for them.

I said what I thought in my heart, and the third uncle and grandfather clicked on the dry tobacco pouch, and forced a smile on his face: "Dongwa, I know that you are benevolent and righteous, but we have other things to do, and this matter must not be delayed, otherwise, the whole village will be difficult to survive!" ”

The experience of these days has long made me believe that there are ghosts in the world, and when I heard that the third uncle and grandfather said it was serious, I stopped making trouble.

For the funeral of my uncle's family, the relatives next to his house took care of it, and the third uncle and grandfather led me home to get a bag of things and hurriedly went up the back mountain.

At this time, it was already past six o'clock, and the sun came out early in the summer, and the sky was already bright.

There was only one way to go to the Houshan cemetery, and the more I followed my third uncle and grandfather, the more wrong it became, and somehow it was slowly foggy on the mountain.

It's dog days, even if it's early in the morning, the sun is very poisonous, and even if there is a lot of water vapor in the mountains, there shouldn't be fog?

The fog grew bigger and bigger, and before I reached the cemetery, I couldn't see the road clearly, and, if you looked closely, you could see that the fog was gloomy and a little black.

The woods, where insects and birds usually chirp, are exceptionally quiet today, and there is no sound at all, and I can even hear the echo when I open my mouth to speak.

Although the third uncle and grandfather were old, they were very tough, and led me up the mountain without even gasping for breath, but the more he walked, the more gloomy his face became, and in the end, he could almost drip water.

walked to Xiangyangpo and found the new grave of my cousin and Chen Ying, although they did not use a coffin, but they were buried together in two coffins, so the grave was extraordinarily large.

The third uncle and grandfather took a closer look around the graves of their cousin and Chen Ying, muttering that they didn't know what they were talking about, and finally took out incense candles and paper money from the cloth bag they brought with them and burned them in front of the grave.

I don't know if it's damp, after the incense is lit, it will be extinguished after a while, the paper money can't be burned clean, and even the two white candles are not vigorous, swaying and flashing green, as if they will be extinguished at any time.

The third uncle and grandfather's face was pale, and the flesh at the corners of his mouth was a little trembling.

The strange scene in front of me made my heart tremble, and Chen Ying, who was afraid of unjust death, jumped out of the grave and strangled me to death.

"Go down."

The third uncle and grandfather lit a few more incense sticks, and found that they would still be extinguished soon, so they wanted to take me back to the village.

But at some point, the fog was so thick and gray that it was almost impossible to see anything three or four meters away, and in this case, it was impossible to walk the mountain road.

At this time, the two white candles that the third uncle and grandfather planted in front of the grave were unexpectedly windless, and they were swaying around, burning half a foot high!

The green fire shone on the face of the third uncle and grandfather, cloudy and uncertain, I don't know if it was an illusion, I always felt that there was a black gas hovering on his forehead.

Not only me, but even the third uncle and grandfather were a little panicked when they saw this strange scene, he took out three sticks of incense and lit them, and asked me to take the incense around the huge new tomb.

At this time, I was already in a mess, so I could only follow the explanation of my third uncle and grandfather, and walk around the grave with the lit incense without saying a word.

Strange to say, when the incense is in my hand, it will no longer be extinguished, could it be that I happened to get the incense that was not damp?
