The black smoke spread in the dilapidated brick kiln, choking people couldn't open their eyes, coughed repeatedly, I accidentally inhaled two puffs of black smoke, only to feel the mark on my left arm began to faintly hot, there was a stinging feeling.

My heart sank suddenly, and I ran out of the brick kiln with my nose covered, and the godmother told me that the flower mark on my left arm can absorb souls, and if I absorb too many souls, even if she recovers her strength, there is no way.

I ran out of the brick kiln, the air outside was really much better, the burning stinging sensation on my arm slowly disappeared, and my father and they also ran out, and the police officer was still asking, "Is it burned in there?" How can there be such smoke? ”

But no one answered his question.

I remembered what my godmother told me, no matter what happened, I couldn't open the coffin, just bury her for seven days, and now the coffin has a hole, does this count as having opened the coffin?

If the hole in the coffin is mended and the coffin is buried again, can the godmother recover her strength after seven days?

What I'm worried about now is that if the coffin is broken, will it cause something to happen to the godmother, but the godmother has specially told me, what can I do?

I stood in the open space outside the brick kiln, shining a flashlight on the still smoky brick kiln, and my mind was numb.

My dad also leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Xiaozang, what's going on?" Why so much black smoke? ”

"I don't know, the godmother just told me to seal her in a coffin and bury her in the ground for seven days, but she didn't tell me what would happen if the coffin broke?"

"What can I do?" Dad's brow furrowed.

I turned my attention to my uncle, who has been close to my godmother over the years, and it is said that he has learned a lot of skills, so it must be right to listen to my uncle at this time.

"Don't worry, let's see."

After more than ten minutes, the black smoke in the cave completely dissipated, and we re-entered the brick kiln, came to the coffin of the godmother, and took a flashlight to shine into the coffin, and everyone was stunned.

I thought about several possibilities, such as the godmother waking up in the coffin, or still asleep, even if she turned into a zombie with long nails, I can accept it, after all, these are all clues, but I never thought that there was a charred corpse in the coffin.

That's right, it's the same charred corpse as Sasha after it was burned, no wonder there was so much black smoke coming out after the coffin broke a hole just now, which must have been left when the corpse turned into a charred corpse.

This time, it was still the same as before, it was extremely weird, although the godmother turned into a charred corpse, but there was not even a trace of fire on the inner wall of the coffin, and even the cover below was not ignited.

Could it be that this is the hands and feet of the female corpse? Did she burn the godmother to a charred corpse? It should be.

But the problem is that she couldn't beat the godmother at all in the fighting method, and even half of her head was smashed by the godmother, and she turned into a mountain monkey and ran away.

"Xiaozang? Are you sure you didn't misplace your godmother? What's going on with this charred corpse? "Dad was a little anxious.

"No mistake, I don't know how this happened." My whole mind was messed up.

"Don't blame Xiao Zang, this thing is strange, it must be extraordinary. Let's think about what to do next. ”

A few villagers who came with him heard that the godmother had become a charred corpse, so they suggested that they should simply go to the cremation with Uncle Lin tomorrow, and the policeman also said that this was the best way to deal with it.

I instinctively felt that something was not right, since the godmother said that she would be able to recover by sealing her in a coffin and burying her in the soil for seven days, and she also said that she should not open the coffin no matter what, it means that she may have changed in the coffin, since this is the case, how can she be sent directly to the crematorium for cremation without trying?

Besides, I saw with my own eyes that the abscesses on the godmother's face can disappear like movie special effects, who dares to guarantee that the godmother who has become a charred corpse at this moment will definitely die? If it is really sent to be cremated, it will be a harm to the godmother.

And, most importantly, I was counting on my godmother to recover and help me get rid of the mark on my arm, which is related to my life, how can I do it if I don't try?

I said what I thought, and my uncle and father also nodded in agreement after hearing it, and it was not easy for several villagers and police to interfere, after all, they are outsiders, even if the godmother is just a godfather of our family, it is also a relative, and the rule in the countryside is not to get involved in other people's housework.

After deliberation, we decided to dig a grave pit in the brick kiln and bury the godmother's coffin as instructed by the godmother.

The only problem was that the coffin lid was hollowed out by the mountain monkey, and it was definitely not suitable to bury it in this way, so the coffin lid on the left hand side was replaced, and the nail was re-nailed and sealed.

The godmother's request is that the grave pit should be dug in the brick kiln, the space of the brick kiln is not very large, and the ground has been burned with red bricks for many years, which is extremely hard, and it must be very laborious to dig the grave pit in it.

Several villagers suggested changing places, but after thinking about it, my father and uncle decided to dig in the brick kiln.

This is a special explanation from the godmother, and it must have a deep meaning, and at this time, you must do it meticulously.

After a few other villagers helped dig for a while, they said that they were worried about whether there was an accident over there, and they had to go back to see, and their uncle and father couldn't stop them, so they let them go back.

In this way, there were only three of us left to dig the grave, but fortunately the hardest layer of ground had been dug up, and although it was hard underneath, it was not as difficult as digging stones.

The three of us tossed until dawn, and finally dug the grave, even with gloves on, there were still several blood blisters on my hands, and my heart hurt.

Then, the three of us wasted all our efforts to get the coffin into the grave, but fortunately, the coffin had been put for a long time and had been completely dried, plus the godmother was very light, otherwise there was really no way to get it in.

After doing this, my uncle said that he still had to go to the branch secretary to discuss the matter of finding the mountain monkeys, and let us stay here to pile up the soil, this work does not take much effort, just fill in the excavated soil, and my father and I are not hypocritical.

After another busy work, there is an extra grave bag in the middle of the brick kiln, how to look at it and feel weird, it feels like a grave is piled up in the middle of the hall at home, but this is the godmother's explanation, even if it is weird, you have to listen.

My dad and I were a little tired, so we sat on the pony and smoked together, my eyes swept over the small cabinet on the wall, my brain was hot, and I couldn't help asking: "Dad, my name was Ji Zeming before I changed my name, right?" ”

"Well, yes, why did you ask about this all of a sudden?" Dad looked a little stunned.

"That ......" I sorted out my language and asked tentatively, "Did the godmother tell you that after my illness is cured, do you want to get the spirit card?" ”

"Spirit cards? What spirit card? Dad was even more stunned.

"It's a spirit card used for worship when a person dies!" I explained.

"What?" Dad still hasn't figured it out.

I was in a hurry, got up directly, came to the small cabinet, opened the cabinet door, took out the spirit card inside, and handed it to my father: "Look at it, is this my name on it?" ”

Dad took the spirit card, stunned for a long time, his hands suddenly began to tremble, he looked up at me, his eyes began to become extremely complicated, that feeling, as if he was looking at a stranger.

My heart was flustered, and I vaguely felt as if I had broken a big trouble, and reluctantly said: "Dad, don't think about it, when the godmother wakes up, let's ask her again." ”

Dad stood up without saying a word, put the spirit card on the table, walked out of the brick kiln with a nail rake, turned around the threshing floor in front of the door, finally confirmed the position, and began to dig desperately.

I was in a mess and wanted to come forward to help, but my father's glaring eyes made me feel extremely terrible, so I could only stand silently and watch him dig like crazy.

Soon, a deep pit appeared in the ground, and the nail rake dug into the wood, making a dull noise, it was a rotten coffin.

After seeing the coffin, my father became even more crazy, he brought a hoe and a shovel, and quickly cleaned the whole coffin board.

Dad blushed, and pried open the coffin board with a nail rake, and in the coffin, the corpse of a child was lying quietly inside, which had completely turned into white bones, and there was a puddle of fishy black mud in the coffin, even if it was so far away, it could still smell the stench.

Seeing the child's corpse, Dad hugged his head and laughed wildly. I panicked and was about to jump out of my chest: "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare me. ”

"Don't call me Dad! You're not my son! My son died eighteen years ago! ”
