I was born in a remote mountain village called Fenghuang Village in the southwest, where there are often something unusual in the middle of the mountains and rivers.

My name is Fang Nan, and when I was five years old, during the Qingming Festival, my father and grandfather and I came to Phoenix Mountain behind the village to grave our ancestors.

We have a very lively Qingming Festival here, on the tomb mountain, there are quite a lot of people, many idle children, just frolicking and playing on the side of the mountain, occasionally called by their parents to kowtow.

Six of the tombs of my ancestors are here, but they are somewhat scattered. After following my grandfather and father to worship the two ancestors in a row, I was a little bored, and I happened to meet the fat man Du Ziteng, whose grandfather's grave was not far from one of my ancestral graves, and after saying hello to my father, I played with him on the side.

Du Ziteng is only five years old this year, one month younger than me, his father is doing construction outside, and his family is quite wealthy in the village, his mother has always spoiled him, and he eats Haisai every day, and he is almost sixty pounds at the age of five.

His father named him Ziteng, hoping that his son could soar like a dragon, but he didn't die, and his family happened to be surnamed Du, so he had a stomachache. From childhood to adulthood, this product has been the object of ridicule.

Although the Qingming drizzle continued, but we didn't care, the two picked up two branches and pretended to be a hero to brush the strokes, gradually, attracted more and more children, Du Ziteng was ridiculed again, he pulled me away angrily, I didn't pay attention to the direction he walked in order to comfort him, and when I came back to my senses, there were towering trees all around, and there was no grave, I don't know where I went.

"Fang Nan, I'm a little scared." Du Ziteng's face turned pale and looked at the gloomy fog around him, and he couldn't tell the direction at all.

"Go back!" I settled down, and dragged Du Ziteng, who was holding my arm tightly, to walk cautiously in the direction I came. But for some reason, the further we walked back, the higher and higher the mountain became, that is, we were getting farther and farther away from the grave mountain, and as a young man, I sensed that something was wrong, and finally stopped and began to discern the direction.

"Fang Nan, we seem to have gone wrong, this is the way down the mountain." Du Ziteng stretched out a chubby hand from my side and pointed in the direction of our right-hand side.

I took a closer look at the terrain, and it did look downhill, and finally I was settled, and I didn't care to think about why the direction gap was so big, and dragged Du Ziteng away.

Half an hour later, I stumbled on my feet, tripped over a rock, got up and rubbed my knee with a curse, and found that my knee was bleeding, and the pain made me cry.

Fang ...... Fang Nan ......" Du Ziteng's voice was a little wrong, he stretched out a hand tremblingly, pointed to the front in a daze, and said, "We...... We...... It seems like...... It's still uphill, yes, it's all uphill, it's all uphill. ”

Du Ziteng was already so frightened that he was incoherent, I glanced at him impatiently, and then looked at his fingers.

Damn! When I saw what was happening in front of me, my little heart was pounding.

"What's going on? We chose the direction of the downhill slope, huh? My voice was also a little trembling, and I subconsciously leaned towards Du Ziteng. I was running for my life before, and I didn't even notice whether the bottom was uphill or downhill, no wonder I said why I was so tired of running.

Thinking of this, my face also changed. We started uphill, then turned back and found that it was also uphill, and then the side was still uphill. Moreover, the sky in this forest was getting darker and darker, as if all the dark clouds were gathering in the sky, and it was somewhat overcast, and the air was filled with a kind of rotting mildew and dust, and there was no fragrance of grass and trees in ordinary woods.

I gritted my teeth, although I was only five years old, the stubbornness in my bones drove me to pull Du Ziteng to run in the opposite direction again.

Helpless or uphill!

I didn't believe in evil, and then I turned to run wildly, but still uphill, and after tossing and turning like this, I finally became exhausted and collapsed.

Du Ziteng was so frightened that he peed his pants, but the smell and smell made the smell of mildew in the air a little less. The smell of urine and the smell of blood on my knees, mixed with the smell of musty dust in the air, was disgusting.

We were tired and hungry now, but the rain was falling heavily, and the sky was darker, and under the shadow of the trees, it looked as dark as it was at dusk, and the cold wind was chilling.

"Run, I don't want to die here!" Du Ziteng, the dead fat man, was shocked, and suddenly pulled me and began to run wildly, like crazy, completely ignoring the direction.

I was taken aback by Du Ziteng, and I was pulled away by him in a daze. The rain was getting heavier and the mountain roads were getting more and more slippery, and the vision was starting to blur. When I passed a slope, my feet slipped, and my whole body rolled down the slope, Du Ziteng didn't hold me, and stood on the slope crying and howling.

As I fell, my consciousness began to blur, and in a trance I found myself falling into a dark and extremely cold hole. I tried to open my eyes, but all I saw was darkness. My whole body became more and more stiff in the cold to the bone, and I seemed to see some black shadows, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see clearly, and finally I fainted and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly my knee hurt, as if the dry wound had been torn open, and then my body began to become stiff and cold like a zombie, but a warm current appeared in the center of my eyebrows, and my body gradually became relaxed.

Then I staggered to my feet, and as if in a dream, the cave became bright, and I was so shaken that I couldn't open my eyes.

After settling down, I found that there was an incomparably bright corridor in front of me, and every meter on the two walls of the corridor, there was a skull hanging on the wall, emitting a faint green fire.

"Come on...... Come...... Come ......"

In a trance, in the depths of the corridor, an old man in a gray-brown robe, with his hair unkempt, shriveled and terrifying, grinned at me, and I fainted in fright.

When I woke up, I found myself lying on the small wooden bed at home, and my grandfather and parents were looking at me worriedly.

There were seven peach branches beside me, and in the middle of every two peach branches, there was a yellow piece of paper, and I learned that those yellow papers were called rune paper.

Later, Du Ziteng and I both fell seriously ill, but he was fine in two days, while I lay down for half a month. For half a month, I would have the same dream every night.

"She's your daughter-in-law, go dig her out......"

In the dream, the horrible old man stood next to a crystal coffin, pointed to the sleeping zombie in the coffin next to him, and told me that it was my daughter-in-law, and asked me to dig up my daughter-in-law and marry her......

I didn't care about it once or twice, I was only five years old, and I didn't know what my daughter-in-law was, but the dreams like this appeared every day and finally aroused my curiosity.

Young and ignorant, I pestered my grandfather to dig up my thousand-year-old zombie daughter-in-law. When my grandfather heard this, his face changed dramatically and he severely stopped me from talking nonsense.

That dream still haunts me every day, afraid of my grandfather's majesty, I don't dare to mention that thing again, but the dream every night still haunts me, and even the picture is getting clearer and clearer. I have seen clearly that my 'daughter-in-law' is wearing a plain white dress and a pair of beautiful pink brocade shoes......

Gradually, I started to giggle during the day, which made my parents and grandfather anxious, and it seemed that my father and grandfather had a big fight.

Grandpa personally did a simple ritual for me, but he still couldn't suppress the dream, grandpa's face changed completely, although he didn't say anything, but I was only five years old and I could clearly feel grandpa's fear.

"Dog, this is the ancestral longevity lock of our Fang family, you must not lose it, you must wear it on your body at any time, even if you take a bath, don't take it off."

Grandpa was very dignified and then gave me a very simple pure gold longevity lock, so that I could not leave an inch.

The longevity lock is not large, only the size of a thumb, but it is very delicate, perhaps because it is so old, and the golden luster is a little dull.

Since then, I no longer dream of my daughter-in-law, for some reason, I was actually a little lost, quietly found Du Ziteng, and asked him to accompany me to dig my daughter-in-law, but the goods were scared and fainted, and lay down for two days.

There are many people in the small village, and somehow, the story of my thousand-year-old zombie daughter-in-law has spread all over the small village and even several villages in a radius, and my grandfather is so angry that his face is pale, but he is not willing to beat me after all.

Since then, my grandfather has been doing it at home every day for 7749 days.

I don't know if it's the effect of the method, or if the child forgets it, gradually, I forgot about it, but the villagers didn't forget, every time they saw me, they had to ask me, 'Nanwa, where is your thousand-year-old zombie daughter-in-law?' Did you dig it up? ’。

But I can't remember that dream clearly, every time I hear someone ask about it, I feel inexplicable, after a long time, there are a lot fewer people who joke about me, only Du Ziteng, the kid likes to babble the most: "Xiao Nan, let's dig up your daughter-in-law." However, all he answered was a violent beating.
