A lonely small grave, pestled in a farmland full of cracks, looks particularly lonely and helpless. In front of the grave, there was no tombstone, not even a wooden sign with a name on it.

Xing Ruyi stepped forward and took a closer look, this tomb was indeed very consistent with what the fox said before. First of all, there is no grass on the portion. Of course, this may also be related to the current drought, not to mention this grave, even other graves are afraid that there is no grass on them. Secondly, there is the seepage of water from the grave. The farmland next to the grave is obviously dry and cracked, but the head of this deserted grave seeps water from time to time. It's just that the amount of seepage is not large, and it is easy to be overlooked. As for whether the body in the coffin was decomposed, we can only know after the coffin is opened.

"Is the village chief joking with us? If this is the grave of the village chief, why is there not even a tombstone, is it because you have forgotten it, or the tombstone has been swallowed up by the cracks in the ground. ”

"It's all this time, village chief, don't joke with the distinguished guests anymore. Your family's ancestral grave is obviously over there, and it is the best piece of land in our village. Right now, isn't this part of Ritchie's family? Reich, you say, don't you? ”

Hearing the shouts of one of the young men, Xing Ruyi noticed the young man named Ritchie. His hair was very long, covering most of his face, he was of medium stature, neither fat nor thin, his clothes were not clean, but he did not have the dirty appearance of a scoundrel in his impression, and he was very inconspicuous when he stood in the crowd.

"It's the land left by my father, and I wonder why the village chief's father is buried in my family's land? Also, what about my father's grave? Ritchie yawned as he spoke, and brushed his hand through the messy hair in front of him, revealing a thick eyebrow and a pair of large eyes. If I'm not mistaken, my father and mother were buried in this grave, right? ”

The village chief looked embarrassed, admitting it or denying it, but just stood there in embarrassment.

Ritchie waved his hand impatiently: "My own field, my own father's and mother's grave, no matter who is buried in it, put it aside first." I don't believe it, what kind of drought is it, it doesn't grow in other lands, but it is born in my field, is this bullying me Ritchie, bullying no one in my family? ”

Ritchie said, snatching the shovel from the young man's hand next to him and digging it up. Seeing this, the young man next to him also forgot about the village chief's obstruction just now, and followed Reich to dig up.

They were all young and vigorous young men, and although they were short of food rations because of the drought, and they were usually hungry and full, the work of digging up a grave was nothing to the young people who worked with the land all year round. The techniques are familiar, the body is neat, and it didn't take long to dig up the grave.

"Oh, big guy, look, this is obviously my coffin. Village chief, you have taken a closer look, this coffin has been more than ten years, could it be that your father dug a pit from there and ran to sleep in my coffin? ”

Ritchie laughed first, and the young man next to him laughed too.

What was exposed to the ground was indeed an old coffin, coated with a layer of inferior black lacquer, which was a little mottled because of time. The coffin is also somewhat corroded, and the excavated soil is mixed with a lot of wood chips.

"Ruyi girl, what kind of drought are you talking about, is it really in this coffin?" Sun Xiaomei asked cautiously, but the person deliberately stood behind the fox. "Isn't it Ritchie's father buried in this coffin? Could it be that this Reich's father and mother have become drought! ”

"Your father and your mother have just become drought, and your whole family is drought!" When Lai Qi heard Sun Xiaomei's words, he glared at her fiercely, and then turned his gaze to Xing Ruyi's side: "Whether you are a master or not, I Lai Qi doesn't know." In my Whitch's eyes, you are a yellow-haired girl, or the kind of yellow-haired girl who lives in the city, wears silk and satin, eats delicacies from the mountains and seas, has never seen much of the world, and only listens to stories. Do you know why I, Reich, agreed to come? I, Laiqi, didn't come to give the village chief any face, nor did I want to help the village catch some drought, I just wanted to see what the hell this drought!

Did you just say that this drought is in my father's grave? I, Ritchie, will open this coffin now and let you open your eyes and take a closer look, and see if there is a drought in my father's coffin. If not, I won't finish digging the grave for you today! ”

"Ritchy!" The village chief sank his face: This girl is a distinguished guest, a distinguished guest specially invited by Sun Xiaomei from her mother's house, you speak to me to pay attention. Why are other girls coming to our village? Just to dig your father's grave? People are here to help us cure this drought, so it's hard that you want to starve to death. If you want me to say, this grave has been dug up, and if there were droughts, it would have jumped out a long time ago, right? Since there is none, let's fill it in. Wait a while, I'll personally apologize to your father, okay? ”

The village chief was obviously helping the torture Ruyi to speak, but secretly he was urging Reich to fill in the grave, and even from his wandering eyes, it could be clearly seen that he was evading, and he was even afraid that Reich would open the coffin!

This village chief definitely has a ghost in his heart, and this ghost is very likely to be hidden in the coffin in front of him. Could it be that the drought was made by the village chief?

Xing Ruyi was thinking in his heart, but the person stood in front of the coffin and said to Lai Qi: "I'm very sure that Xing Ruyi is hiding in the coffin, as for whether it is your father and mother, I have no way to be sure, after all, I am not familiar with your father and mother." If you don't believe me, just open it and verify it. If I say something wrong, I will not only apologize, but also help your father and mother build another grave, and if the coffin is opened today, it will be regarded as moving the grave for their two elders, how about it? ”

"Humph!" Ritch snorted coldly, told all the young men standing around him to get out of the way, pulled up his sleeves, and stood in front of the coffin.

The fox's eyes sank, and then he walked to Xing Ruyi's side, took care of her in his arms, and then said to Reich: "That drought is in this coffin, open the coffin!" Be careful......"

"With your appearance and guts, you dare to say that you are a master." Ritch scoffed, and moved the lid with his hands. With a creak, the coffin was removed a bit, revealing a gap.

At this time, Sun Xiaomei suddenly screamed and pointed to the coffin. Everyone looked down and saw two bright red dots peeking out of the black coffin. After careful identification, it turned out to be a pair of red eyes, staring coldly at everyone at this time.

"What is this? I got into my father's coffin! As he spoke, Ritch was about to move the coffin, but the fox took a step faster and dragged him over.

"Don't move!" The fox said, and also took a step back, "It's a drought!" ”

As soon as the fox finished speaking, everyone saw that the crack in the coffin was getting bigger and bigger. Then, everyone also saw the contents of the coffin clearly. Let's say he's a man, with gray-white fur all over his body. A pair of hands, clinging tightly to the edge of the coffin, the front half of the hand looks like a human, but the back half looks like a monkey. A pair of eyes, red and scary, as if they had pink eye, their mouths were wide open, their teeth were bared, and they looked like they wanted to jump out and bite people.

"This ...... What is this? ”

"Didn't you hear what the boy just said? It's a drought! ”

"The drought fish looks like this, people don't look like people, strange don't look like monsters, ghosts don't look like ghosts, to be honest, they look ugly!"

"Shhhh Quiet, didn't you see him staring at us? Be careful and wait for him to pounce out and bite your neck like the dirt dog that killed Sun Xiaomei's family! ”

"You...... Don't scare me! The young man picked up the shovel and faced the monster in the coffin, covered his neck with his hands, and then slowly, slowly moved towards Xing Ruyi: "Girl, what is this drought, how can I see that he is wearing a shroud?" ”

"The dartfish is a kind of evil creature in legends, but some people also call zombies droughts. The one in front of you is a zombie. In layman's terms, it is a monster that a person becomes after death. Xing Ruyi said, motioning to the people with tools around him to step back. Then he plucked the hairpin from his head, and let the fox cast some spells on it, and drew a circle on the ground, so that all the people stood in the circle.

"Girl, what does this mean by drawing a circle on the ground?"

"This is an enchantment, as long as you stand in the circle, the drought will not be able to harm you."

"This is the enchantment?" The young man who had just come to Xing Ruyi's side squatted down, "I've been in the city, and I've heard the gentlemen in the city tell stories that when the gods want to deal with a person, they will lay down an enchantment. But why does the girl draw a circle on the ground casually in this enchantment? Could it be that the hairpin on the top of the girl's head is also a magic weapon? ”

"Well, you're right, my hairpin is a magic weapon!" Xing Ruyi said, pointing to the circle he had just drawn: "If you don't want to become like Sun Xiaomei's dog, just stand in the circle for me obediently, otherwise this girl will not guarantee that you will be able to go home alive." ”

The young man who originally wanted to ask a few more words hurriedly closed his mouth after hearing Xing Ruyi's words, and his face became ugly. Although they knew that they were going to catch the marls before they came, the village chief did not tell them that catching them might cost them their own lives.

As he spoke, the thing had poked its head out of the coffin, and the image exposed to the sun was even more terrifying than what he could see in the coffin, and even Xing Ruyi had heard the sound of some people's legs and stomachs trembling, followed by the sound of grinding teeth out of fear.

Xing Ruyi pursed his lips and said to the fox: "You never told me that the drought fish would grow like this, to be honest, it was a little disgusting. I think I won't have to eat dinner after I take it. ”

The fox raised his eyebrows, "Didn't I tell you earlier that you should be mentally prepared?" ”

Xing Ruyi dodged, walked behind the fox, and pointed at the drought: "This thing looks so disgusting, I really can't stand it, otherwise, you will accept it, right?" Don't worry, I won't take credit from you. ”

"Do you really not accept it? This thing is not seen in a hundred years! The fox stood still with his hands around his chest.

"No! No! Just don't accept it! Xing Ruyi shook his head again and again: "It's so disgusting, I didn't expect the village chief's father to become like this." To be honest, it's shocking! ”

When he saw the drought, the village chief didn't react, but when he heard Xing Ruyi's words at this moment, his eyes immediately widened.

"Girl, what are you talking about? How could this thing be my dad! ”

"Yes or no, can't the village chief see it himself? Could it be that you don't even know your own father anymore? Xing Ruyi poked out half of his head from behind the fox and pointed to the thing on the monster's waist: "That jade is half, and it is exactly the same pair as the one hanging from your waist, don't you tell me that the half of the jade on your body was taken from Lai Qi's father." ”

"Of course not, this jade is my family's ancestral!" The village chief hurriedly distinguished, and glanced at the drought. At this glance, he almost collapsed to the ground.

The monster in front of him, who else could it be if it wasn't his dead father? Although this appearance has changed, it is his own father, and at a glance, he can find some familiar parts. Not to mention the half piece of jade hanging around his waist, as well as the longevity clothes that his mother-in-law put on his father with her own hands.

The village chief thumped his chest, looked at the drought and only hummed: "My God, how did my father become such a monster!" ”

"Gou Da Sheng!" Lai Qi grabbed the village chief's clothes and took him out of the enchantment circle: "Explain to Lao Tzu why your dead ghost father actually appeared in my father's coffin!" Could it be that he crawled from under the ground! ”
