Chapter 11: Digging a Grave
Jing Siqi never came, I was a little worried, I don't know if this old thing will be captured by black and white impermanence, but the corpse of my grandmother in front of me is gone, which makes me even more worried.
I was picked up by my grandmother as an abandoned baby, from childhood to adulthood, my grandmother worked hard to pull me into adulthood, I thought I was happily married, my job was stable, and I could finally take my grandmother to my side to let my grandmother enjoy happiness, but I didn't expect to meet someone unladylike, not only lost my life but also affected my grandmother.
Now my grandmother's soul is gone, even the grave has been dug up, and the body is gone......
The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and I drifted all the way back to my grandmother's house, wandering around the house, at a loss.
Night soon fell, and the small village was shrouded in darkness, and the atmosphere became more and more oppressive.
I couldn't figure out who could be so vicious, even the dead.
Still at a loss, he suddenly heard a commotion from the village, and then a woman's cry resounded through the village.
I drifted in the direction from which the sound came from, until I walked to Li Ermazi's house in the east of the village, and saw that most of the people in the village gathered outside the wall of his house, talking to each other and not knowing what they were discussing.
And Li Ermazi's wife was kneeling in the courtyard and crying bitterly, the lights were on in the yard, but there were couplets hanging on the beams, and they were all white.
I floated over and stopped at the head of the wall to hear a middle-aged man standing next to me smoking a cigarette and biting his ears with the person next to him.
"Do you think this Li Er Mazi has done evil? Otherwise, it wouldn't have been dug up just after the dead, and even the body would be gone? ”
"Yes, I happened to be working on the mountain in the afternoon, and when I heard this, I went over to see it, oh, that's a miserable, don't you see, the grave is dug up and rotten, it's really a sin."
I was shocked, and I felt that I was inexplicably sweating all over my body, and this Li Ermazi's grave was also dug up? Could it be that this matter has something to do with grandma?
Li Ermazi's wife in the courtyard was still crying, sad and sad, and I also felt the same way when I listened.
I don't believe that there will be any retribution in this world, otherwise, if you are like Liu Hao, a beast who doesn't recognize her six relatives is alive and well, how can grandma accumulate virtue and do good deeds all her life and end up with a soul scattered?
Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid there is something else wrong with this grave digging thing.
The people in the mountain village are not highly educated, and after Li Ermazi's grave was dug up, they all said that Li Ermazi did not accumulate virtue during his lifetime and received retribution.
A group of people watched the excitement outside the courtyard of Li Ermazi's house, and they scattered birds and beasts.
The Li family returned to peace, and Li Ermazi's wife sat in the courtyard alone in despair and looked even more pitiful.
I felt a little pity for her, and I wanted to see if there were any clues, so I stayed at Li Ermazi's house.
All night, Li Ermazi's wife just sat in the courtyard and kept burning paper money in the copper basin, crying silently.
I deeply understood her mood now, so I squatted next to the brazier.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that Li Ermazi's wife got up and went back to the house.
I followed behind me and tried to enter the house, but just as I was about to float into the house, a somewhat hoarse voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Who are you!"
One sentence, only three words, but the words are extremely rusty, intermittent, I was uncomfortable listening to it for a while, and subconsciously turned my head to look, only to see a middle-aged man in a mortuary robe floating behind me with a pale face.
Although I'm not an old ghost like Jing Siqi, I've been a ghost for a while after all, and I knew that he was also a ghost when I saw the floating feet of the middle-aged man behind me.
I didn't say anything, staring at him.
The middle-aged man looked at me with some taboo, the threat in his eyes was self-evident, and finally floated into the house without saying a word.
I followed him, and I saw him follow behind Li Ermazi's wife after entering the house, his eyes were full of affection.
He stood quietly and looked at the woman, from the initial reluctance, attachment, to later guilt, despair, all emotions were in my eyes.
"Are you Li Er Mazi?"
I floated over to him and asked softly, and the middle-aged man looked at me vigilantly and suspiciously, and then stiffened for a while.
I was overjoyed, and hurriedly floated in front of him: "Since you are Li Er Mazi, do you know who dug your grave?" Why dig your grave? ”
Hearing my inquiry, Li Ermazi's face suddenly turned even paler, he looked at me, his eyes were glazed, as if he was trying to recall something, and after a long time, he shook his head with some uncertainty.
"I don't know."
"Don't know? Your graves have been dug up, and you don't know who it is? ”
I was a little anxious, and my voice was a little loud, so I saw Li Ermazi lower his head and avoided my sight.
I was more and more sure he must know something.
Thinking of my grandmother's tragic death, I was still alive after death, my heart was full of guilt and injustice, I took a deep breath and looked at Li Ermazi's wife.
"You know, I'm also a ghost, I have 10,000 ways to make your wife's life worse than death, if you don't tell me what the hell is going on, then I'll attach myself to your wife and jump off the building! Let the two of you make a pair of ghost mandarin ducks! ”
I try to speak each word as slowly as possible, and try to make my words sound imposing.
Sure enough, Li Ermazi listened to my words and raised his head to look at me suddenly, his eyes were full of anger.
"You, you dare!"
He gasped, and the whole ghost leaned forward towards me, as if he wanted to fight with me in the next second, but I couldn't care so much, and yelled at him by the neck.
"I'm dead now anyway, what's not to dare? It's you, do you really want your daughter-in-law to come down to accompany you!? ”
Li Ermazi and I looked at each other, he glared at me viciously, and then turned his head to look at his wife who was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his posthumous photo and crying silently, and suddenly sighed softly.
"I'll tell you, you can let her go......"
I am also relieved, after all, I will not hurt innocent people, so I just want to bet on how important his wife is in Li Ermazi's heart, fortunately, I bet right.
"You come with me to a place."
Li Er Mazi stammered, looked at his wife affectionately, and then floated away from the door.
I followed it all the way to the corner of the hill behind the village.
Li Er Mazi frowned at me slightly, and his lips opened and closed several times before he spoke.
"My body was dug up and brought here, and the person who asked for my body said that it would not harm my family, and I agreed."
Li Ermazi's words were very jerky, and it took me a long time to understand that the feeling of his corpse was still given by him "voluntarily".
I turned my head to look at the mountain, and found that at the foot of the mountain there was a very hidden door, and the cave was quiet, and it was so dark that I could not see my fingers.
"Why does that person want your corpse?"
"I don't know, I've been at home since I died, and last night, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and I went to the cemetery, and found that a man was digging my grave, and I wanted to stop it, but he said that if I didn't give him the body, he would kill my mother-in-law and my daughter, and I ...... I'm dead anyway, so give it to him......"
Li Ermazi said a lot of words in one breath, although it was still intermittent, but this time I understood it.
There was a man in our village who was collecting corpses, which meant that it was possible that Grandma's body had been dug up by that person.
But what did he want the corpse to do?
I looked at the cave and couldn't figure it out.
I heard Li Ermazi pause and look at me: "That person, you can see ghosts, and when you are around him, I will feel very uncomfortable, I advise you to forget it."
"No, I have to bring my grandmother's body back for burial!"
Li Ermazi shook his head when he saw that he persuaded me, and then turned around and left.
I wandered around the cave a few times, and finally decided to go inside.
The entrance to the cave is very small, the narrow road can only pass through one person, and the rocks on the cave wall are full of edges and corners.
After drifting for a while, I finally came to a hole that was about 100 square meters.
There is no light source in the cave, but since I became a ghost, I can see at night, so it doesn't matter.
I looked around and gasped because I noticed that the whole cave was full of corpses.
Men, women, and children were neatly arranged on the ground, and there were as many as forty or fifty bodies.
My heart tightened, and I hurriedly drifted to look for my grandmother's body, and sure enough, I found my grandmother's body in the northwest corner near the cave wall.
Grandma's eyes were closed, as if she was asleep, and my heart ached.
But when I looked at it, I suddenly felt that something was wrong......
My grandmother, who has been dead for seven days, does not have a corpse on her face, but is as smooth as jade, what is going on?
