Chapter 18: Death to Atone
The night is like paint, the villagers of the horseshoe ditch take the torch and the torch without the torch, and rush to the Niujiao Mountain, and in an instant, the Niujiao Mountain is like a fire snake going up, which is quite spectacular.
At this time, I didn't care about the prejudice against the Ma family, and Jiang Dahe hurriedly dressed and followed Sister Qin to Niujiao Mountain, the most feared points of the dead man's burial, one is that the living person is disrespectful, the second is the dead knocking on the coffin, and the third is that the dead man is disrespectful, the living person is disrespectful and can be compensated, and the dead person knocking on the coffin can be sealed, and this corpse change can only be beaten.
This Ma Yong not only did not know what he was thinking when he died, but also disrespected the living after death, I am afraid that it is not as simple as a corpse. But I don't understand one thing, if it is really Ma Yong's corpse, it is unlikely that he will run out of this coffin, didn't the village chief say that the coffin was sealed with locust nails? How did you break through this seal so quickly?
I have dozens of guesses in my heart, but I don't know why, on the way, I also met a few people from the Ma family, they didn't speak, their expressions were solemn, I am afraid that they would never have imagined that Ma Yong's grave was dug up, and the body was gone.
When I arrived at the Niujiaoshan cemetery, it was already crowded with people, Ma Yong's tomb was relatively partial, and it was already surrounded by water, I and Jiang Dahe went in to take a look, Ma Yong's tomb broke a big hole, and the coffin board inside was overturned aside, and there were a few sharp scratches on the inside of the coffin board, it was obvious that the coffin board was lifted from the inside, and there were a few crawling marks around the tomb, there was no doubt that this Ma Yong must have run out of the corpse.
Liu Maoxue, the village chief, stared at the empty grave with a sluggish expression, the villagers on the side said anything, the village history of Mahoegou for more than 300 years had never heard of such a strange thing, let alone seen it with their own eyes, some people suspected that it was man-made, and they were afraid that they had some deep hatred with this Ma Yong so they dug his grave.
Jiang Dahe and I didn't speak, because we had already made it clear in our hearts that this matter was definitely a corpse change, and it couldn't be anything else, everyone talked about it, and it didn't take two sentences to Liu Maoxue.
"Village chief, what are you going to do about this? Did Ma Yong really become a ghost? ”
Boss Ma also asked loudly on the side: "Old man Liu! What the hell is going on with my brother's grave? You found the land, and you buried the people, but now that the grave has been dug up and the corpse is gone, you can't have no explanation! ”
Liu Maoxue couldn't say a word, he shook his head in a daze, I glanced at Jiang Dahe, Jiang Dahe sighed, and said: "I originally wanted to concentrate on our business, but God doesn't want people, I'm afraid that this kind of thing is also caused by chance, if I still be a bystander, you and I won't be able to bear it in the future." ”
After speaking, I nodded, this is also what the master has explained, I can't stand by anymore, thinking about this, Jiang Dahe and I went to the front.
Seeing me and Jiang Dahe take action, everyone looked at us, and I saw that there were Shan Xuening and Shi Jie inside, and they probably had no clue about such a thing, and silently watched me go down to Ma Yong's grave.
Ma Yong's grave is very ordinary, if I were Liu Maoxue, I would have to add some seals to ensure that Ma Yong would not run out of the grave, but this locust nail is not so easy to break, thinking of this, I picked up a locust wood nail next to me to check, and I immediately found the problem.
I came out of the grave, pointed to the locust wooden nail and asked Liu Maoxue, "Where did you get this locust wooden nail?" ”
Liu Maoxue no longer had the attitude towards me before, and when he saw that I asked him about the nail, his body shook slightly, and he hurriedly said, "You mean there is a problem with this nail?" ”
I snorted and replied, "There's more to this nail than that!" It's not a fucking locust spike! It's just ordinary wooden nails! It's just that it looks like it, I've been listening to you for some years, so I can't even tell the difference! Use this to seal the coffin? Nothing can be sealed! ”
I am most familiar with the locust wood nails, and I can't help but think of the incident of Shenxian Street twenty years ago, how could I not know it.
Liu Maoxue stared at me with dead eyes after hearing this, a pair of scorched yellow hands trembled and took the fake locust wood nail, he kept looking at it, and after a while, his body was in a trance and he couldn't stand still, I hurriedly went to support him when I saw this.
Unexpectedly, Liu Maoxue suddenly burst into laughter, and after breaking free from me, he staggered to the side of the cliff.
"Heaven and earth are not as good as people, I Liu Maoxue asked myself if I had done anything unfortunate, but I didn't expect to end up in such a field! I, Liu Maoxue, am sorry for my daughter, and I'm sorry for the many people in my horseshoe ditch! ”
After speaking, Liu Maoxue knelt down, kowtowed three times to the horseshoe ditch under the mountain, and then raised his head, his forehead was already bleeding, these three rings Liu Maoxue was knocking to death!
"This account is on me Liu Maoxue, all the mistakes are my fault, don't affect the villagers, I, Liu Maoxue, beg you here!"
After saying that, the village chief Liu Maoxue suddenly stood up, and jumped down against the cliff on the side, and only after we reacted did the crowd scream, Liu Maoxue committed suicide, just in front of more than 100 of us.
We were dumbfounded, what did I say to irritate the village chief? Is it because Ma Yong's coffin was not sealed? Even if this horse brave corpse escaped, I didn't say that things didn't turn around.
The sudden change made everyone even more dumbfounded, but Shan Xuening and Shi Jie reacted the fastest, and immediately organized a few people to go to the cliff to find Liu Maoxue, the dense forest under the cliff is thick, and it is possible to survive if you don't have to die.
As for the incident of Ma Yong's corpse, some people believe it, and some people still think that it is caused by man, and Jiang Dahe and I can only persuade the villagers to go back to their respective homes and close the doors and windows.
In the past two days, there have been too many things in Horseshoe Valley, and the villagers have been talking about it, and there are many hearsay people who have falsely spread the word, saying that I killed Liu Maoxue, because in the end, the last person Liu Maoxue contacted was me, some people listened to me and Jiang Dahe's persuasion, and some people became hostile to us, after all, we are the strangest people in this village, and Shan Xuening They are from the official family, and their credibility is much stronger than ours.
The mountains and forests have become extremely dangerous now, the murderer, the corpse of Ma Yong, and the evil thing that I don't know what it is, we have been here for almost three days, and we have never seen any of them, which invisibly makes us even more anxious.
With the help of Shan Xuening, the villagers listened to the arrangement and returned home, and when they dispersed, Shan Xuening asked me: "Are you a gentleman?" ”
There's nothing to hide at this point, so I nodded yes.
Shan Xuening asked me again: "Then what are you doing in this place?" ”
I said that you might laugh at me if I said it, Jiang Dahe and I came to find something, this thing should not exist in the world, it is an evil thing, and it also bit Sister Qin's cow to death.
Shan Xue Ning thought for a while and said, "Is this Ma Yong's corpse really running out by himself?" ”
I nodded.
Did she say that Ma Yong had become a ghost?
I shook my head and said I didn't know, I didn't know what had become of him until I saw him, but whatever it was, it was dangerous.
"Will that hurt the villagers?"
I replied, "Possibly, many evil creatures are bloodthirsty, especially this kind of evil thing that has been transformed into a dead corpse, and I think this thing will soon come to the village to find living creatures to drink blood." ”
Shan Xue Ning thought for a moment and said: "If I find something unusual, I will tell you, if you find out, you must notify me in time, this matter is not trivial, we will deal with the murderer, you are an expert in other ghost things, you will deal with it, it is best not to involve the villagers again." ”
I nodded yes, where the morality lies, I will naturally understand this matter as soon as possible, I thought about it for a while, and asked her if Liu Maoxue found it, Shan Xuening shook her head and said: "Shi Jie is still organizing a search, the terrain below is more complicated than imagined, and it will not be found in a short time." ”
I said I can't help with this, so I'm bothering you.
After returning to Sister Qin's house, we didn't feel the slightest sleep, Jiang Dahe dragged his chin on the stool in a daze, and after I sat down, Jiang Dahe said, "Where did you say this locust wooden nail came from?" Why did Liu Maoxue collapse when you asked about nails? ”
I don't know about it, I want to ask, but I'm more concerned about another thing.
Jiang Dahe hurriedly asked me what it was.
I said that Liu Maoxue kowtowed to who he was kowtowing to at the end? And who is the one he asks? What happened to Liu Maoxue, who could only apologize with death?
