Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Grave of the Sixth
The village party secretary was startled when he said this, Zhang Nifeng hurriedly asked him what was going on, how he was so good that he was suddenly going to be a corpse, and the sixth child was not dead when he demolished the archway last year, it stands to reason that he should have been buried a long time ago, why did he find out now that he was going to be a corpse.
The village party secretary put the cigarette butt in his mouth in the ashtray and extinguished it, saying that although cremation is now being carried out in the city, there are still many people in their rural areas who are willing to be fined by the upper authorities and let their families be buried in the ground, leaving a whole corpse.
Because this is a matter of custom, if it is too strict, it will inevitably have conflicts with the bottom, so the village will turn a blind eye to this.
That's not all, the rules of the village, for those who were not married at the time of death, the family members also tried their best to find the corpses of other peers to marry them.
The old six years and the young, died so strangely, and then there were so many strange things, the family wanted him to enjoy the happiness after going to the ground, so they spent tens of thousands of yuan to get the body of a little girl from Shanxi, if this thing was done secretly, it would be over, and no one would know that it would not be investigated, so the sixth and his father wanted to take advantage of the dark wind in the middle of the night to bury the female corpse and the old sixth.
But when the sixth child and his father took great pains to dig up the grave and open the coffin, he almost scared him so much that his soul flew out of the heavenly spirit cover.
It is said that the sixth child has been dead for almost a year, and the corpse should have rotted and deteriorated a long time ago, but the sixth child lying in the open coffin still looks like when he first entered the ground, but his hair and nails have grown a lot, and it looks like he has never stopped growing.
The sixth father had never seen such a horrible scene, throwing the female corpse into the coffin, where could he care about anything else, and filled the grave back with a lot of urine.
After returning from the cemetery, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong, although he was afraid that the matter of marrying the sixth child would be involved, but thinking of the scary appearance of the sixth child, he still ran to the brigade and told the village party secretary.
Although the village party secretary preaches science on the surface, in fact, the feudal thinking in the countryside has long been ingrained in his bones, so he found the famous elder brother Gao in Shili Eight Villages, hoping that he will help solve it.
"I'm learning fortune telling, let me cure zombies, I'm fucking good at it! This is also one of the reasons why I brought you here today, Brother Zhang, this matter still depends on you. "Big Brother Gao said to us embarrassedly.
Zhang Nifeng didn't care, but said that the Demon Guardian Dao was originally a matter for cultivators.
The village party secretary pointed at the two of us and said incredulously: "These two will catch zombies in their later lives?" ”
"Not only catching zombies, but even your daughter-in-law can find out who you have slept with!" Brother Gao threw the leftover cigarette butt at the village party secretary and said.
Really, if it weren't for me and Zhang Nifeng to stop me, these two living treasures would have to fight on the spot.
I hurriedly asked the village party secretary not to be angry with the eldest brother, and asked him to take us to the grave of the sixth brother first.
After saying this, I was startled at first, if I had put it in the past, I am afraid that the mere hearing of the word "cemetery" would have scared my legs into chaff, and now I even took the initiative to ask to go.
The village party secretary said that there was no problem in taking us there, but according to the customs of the village, women were not allowed to enter the cemetery, and the yin qi on the women's bodies was too heavy, and it was easy to get dirty.
Zhang Nifeng sneered and laughed, saying that my body is not only heavy with yin qi, but also not bad for such a dirty thing, I saw that he was making fun of the evil star in my body again, and he was angry, and said angrily that I had to go today.
Out of the village from the archway at the west end of the village in Zhuankou Village, you can see a cornfield in more than ten minutes after walking for more than ten minutes, and the ancestral tomb of Zhuankou Village is next to this cornfield.
I looked at the corn for people to eat next to a mound, thinking that the plump and sweet corn was grown by absorbing the nutrients on the corpse, I couldn't help but feel a wave of overturning in my stomach, but fortunately I didn't eat much in the past two days, I only retched a few times, and didn't vomit out.
Brother Gao told us that the countryside on their side is like this, and it would be good if the state could leave a piece of money for the ancestral grave to be picked up, anyway, these things are sold to the people in the city to eat, so it doesn't matter.
I retched again.
By the time I had almost slowed down on the edge of the graveyard, Zhang Nifeng and the others had already walked into the graveyard for a long time, and I looked up at the surrounding environment, which was about the size of an abandoned factory, and it was densely packed with earth graves.
These graves are not arranged in an orderly manner, some of them still have unburned paper money pressed in front of them, some of them have a stack of yellow paper pressed with stones on the tips of their graves, and some of them do not even have tombstones, but just stand alone.
I mustered up the courage to step between the two graves in front of me, I don't know if it was my delusion, the moment I stepped over, I felt a pair of eyes staring at me on the left and right, and the hairs on my back stood on end.
I didn't dare to stay longer, I crossed four or five pairs of graves in a row, and finally arrived at Zhang Nifeng and the three of them, which was a little relieved, but the feeling of being stared at always lingered.
Zhang Nifeng saw me coming over, pulled me and asked me if I was afraid, I gritted my teeth and said that I was not afraid, but my hands trembled uncontrollably, although he felt it, he didn't say it.
I heard that the eldest brother Gao was discussing the matter of the sixth brother with the village party secretary, so I asked Zhang Nifeng how the situation was.
He shook his head and said that he couldn't see the reason through the grave, and he had to open the grave and raise the coffin to know what was going on.
Standing in front of the grave of the sixth child, thinking of the corpse lying in it that had not yet decomposed, I always felt very panicked in my heart, so I asked Zhang Nifeng how long it would take to see it.
He signaled me not to worry, and he circled around the grave of the sixth child, I saw that the steps under his feet were swaying left and right very strangely, it didn't seem like he was walking around at will, and the elder brother and the village party secretary were also confused next to him.
After he went around several times, he told us that there was nothing peculiar about the tomb of the sixth child, it was just an ordinary grave bun, and it was said that there would never be a corpse transformation.
With the recommendation of the elder brother, the village party secretary was already convinced of Zhang Nifeng's words at the moment, and immediately scolded the sixth brother and his father for being dizzy, he must have thought that his son's brain was broken, and he said that he had to go to this old gang to settle the account.
As soon as Zhang Nifeng heard it, he simply took us to the sixth child's house to ask his father about it, anyway, if he really needed to open the grave for an autopsy, he also needed the consent of his family.
The sixth child is the only seedling in the family, there are no other brothers and sisters in the house, children are generally born early in the countryside, and his father and mother are only in their forties this year.
When I saw the sixth child and his father, I still felt very uncomfortable, two people in their forties, but their hair was already half white, and I don't know if it was because the death of their only son hit them too hard.
The sixth father's father heard that we were here for the sixth child's corpse, and at first he wondered if we were swaggering and deceiving, but under the double guarantee of the village party secretary and the elder brother, he still recounted the incident to us again.
Zhang Nifeng asked the sixth child what the sixth child in his father's coffin looked like, he frowned and said that the doll was the same in the coffin as when he was alive, and he had heard the elders talk about zombies before, knowing that this was a sign that the corpse was going to be transformed, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to really spread out in his own home.
The more Zhang Nifeng listened, the more strange he felt, and whispered to me that his judgment should not be wrong, the place where the sixth child was buried was too ordinary in terms of yin and yang feng shui or layout settings, and if such a place could have a corpse change, then the previous emperors would have to trouble finding some dragon veins.
He told us very firmly that there must be no problem with the grave of the sixth child, if it is really like what his father said, the sixth child is buried for a year and his body is still not decomposed, then the problem must be the sixth child himself.
So we asked the sixth child if his father could open the coffin for an autopsy, and his father was obviously mentally prepared, nodding with difficulty and saying that the doll's life was too bitter, and it would be restless to die.
