14: Grave digging in the middle of the night
Xu Buhuo's eyes were very cold.
Being watched by him made me feel as terrible as when I was a child doing something wrong and being stared at by my father.
It stands to reason that I am also an eighteen-year-old person, two heads taller than Xu Buhuo, I am not afraid, but my legs can't help but tremble, and I want to sit on the ground.
"Who has touched this jade?"
Xu Buhuo tore off the thread of the jade pendant and held it in his hand to watch.
I couldn't figure out how he did it, but at a glance, I knew that Yu Pei had been touched by someone else.
"No, no one has touched."
I forced myself to lie in a panic, telling myself that I must not let Xu Busheng know about Uncle Qin's existence, otherwise my mother and I might be in danger.
"Really?"
Xu Buhuo continued to stare at me with those terrible eyes. I shook my head vigorously and said, "No, isn't it just a piece of jade?" Who can do what? ”
Xu Buhuo stared at me for a few seconds, picked up the jade pendant and looked at the sun, just when I thought he was going to find something again, he patted me on the shoulder with an apologetic face and said, "Ziwu, I'm sorry, I read it wrong." ”
Did you really read it wrong?
Or do you really see that the jade has passed, but doesn't want to pierce it?
I didn't dare to stare at Xu Buhuo, he took the jade pendant and entered the old mansion. I stood alone outside the door, and even though the most frightening moment had passed, my whole body would still tremble subconsciously.
Xu Buhuo, I feel more and more powerful.
After taking a few deep breaths, I suppressed the tension in my heart, and just as I was about to enter the old mansion, I bumped into Xu Buhuo, who came out head-on, carrying a compass in his hand.
"I've changed the thread for you, wear it well."
Xu Buhuo handed me the jade pendant with a red thread, I reached out and took it, and before my fingers touched the jade pendant, I subconsciously pinched it.
Intuitively, I think that if I don't feel wrong, taking advantage of the time to change the line, Xu Buhuo has already broken the arrangement of Uncle Qin on the jade pendant. After Uncle Qin arranged it before, the jade pendant was very icy no matter how it was covered, but now, the jade pendant is no longer ice.
Obviously, Xu Buhuo had already discovered something, but he didn't poke it immediately, for fear of startling the snake, thinking about this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that Jiang was still old and spicy.
"Let's go, take me to your village's graveyard."
As soon as I entered the Houshan cemetery, Xu Buhuo asked me to go to Jiang Yan's grave.
When he arrived at Jiang Yan's grave, Xu Buhuo stepped directly on Jiang Yan's grave, kept turning around, staring at the pointer on the compass, walking around while watching, and finally, he walked to a place more than three meters away from the grave, tapped the ground with his toes, and said, "Find something to pry open this place." ”
After prying it down a little, I looked up at Xu Buhuo, and he let him continue prying with a serious face, as if he was sure that there was something buried underneath.
After a while, the stick pried into something hard, and when I opened the soil, I saw that it looked like a small earthen pot buried underneath, and it took a lot of effort to dig the earthen pot out of the soil.
The earthen pot is not very large, it looks like an urn, and there are many incantations written densely on the surface, which is similar to what is written on the yellow talisman.
I was about to ask which urn it was, Xu Buhuo took the stick in my hand and pried open the sealing mud at the mouth of the earthen jar, and the lid had just been opened, and a foul smell made me almost vomit.
The black, reddish, viscous juice flowed out of the poured earthen pot, and the smell was as thick as a rat in front of my nose, which made me sick for a while.
Xu Buhuo didn't seem to be able to smell the strong fishy stench, and continued to dig into the earthen pot with a stick.
A black mass was pulled out of the earthen pot, and I forced myself to resist my nausea and approached it, feeling like the corpse of some animal, but not feeling like it.
"What is this?"
I think Xu Buhuo should know the contents of the earthen pot.
"Infant corpse."
"What?"
My first reaction was that I had misheard.
"A baby corpse, to be precise, is not a baby corpse, it should be called a fetal corpse, the kind of fetus that is still in the womb."
Xu Buhuo's voice was calm, but I resisted my fear and retreated a few meters away.
In the cemetery, there was suddenly an indescribable silence.
Xu Buhuo didn't speak, squatting next to the earthen pot and staring at the fetal corpse on the ground, I didn't know that he had such a lot of courage from there, he could stare at a fetal corpse intently, and even poke it on the fetal corpse with a wooden stick.
Watching him poke around and make it harder for the already rotten fetal corpse, I couldn't help but say, "You're a little virtuous, isn't that fun?"
Xu Buhuo glanced back, rolled his eyes and said, "You know a ball." ”
I was about to go back, when I saw Xu Buhuo pick out something from the fetal corpse, and after spreading it out, it was a broken yellow talisman, although it was very dirty, but it could be seen that there were many weird spells on the yellow talisman.
When I saw the fetal corpse before, I still thought about how the family lacked morality, so instead of burying it, I made a jar to put it up. Now seeing the yellow talisman on the body of the fetal corpse, I can't help but think of the record of evil magic in the collection of books, some harmful evil arts, need to use the baby corpse to cast spells.
It's not over yet.
Xu Buhuo held the compass in his hand and continued to walk around Jiang Yan's grave, and after a while, he tapped the ground with his toes and asked me to pry it.
I knew that there should be another earthen pot underneath, and the earthen pot contained a fetal corpse.
In the end, around Jiang Yan's grave, four earthen pots were pried out, and each earthen pot had a fetal corpse, and the fetal corpse had a yellow talisman on it. Huang Fu seemed to be sewn directly into the stomach when the fetal corpse had not yet decomposed.
Looking at the four earthen jars full of incantations on the ground, and the four fetal corpses in front of the earthen jars that were almost rotten but could still be seen in shape, I only felt chills all over my body.
Obviously, someone deliberately buried it around Jiang Yan's grave. What is the purpose, I don't know. All I know is that it's evil and won't be a good thing.
Looking at the decay of the earthen pot, I think this thing should have been made after Jiang Yan was buried.
"Ziwu, this can't be your grandmother's doing, right?" Xu Buhuo suddenly turned his head to stare at me.
"Did you eat garlic today?"
"Nope."
"Then why does your mouth stink so much?"
I got a little angry and said that everything else is fine, but I can't slander my grandmother and think that she will never do such an evil thing.
Xu Busheng knew what I was talking about, smiled hehehe, and said, "Didn't I hear that when this woman was making trouble, your grandmother took action to suppress her?" Could it be that she did it? ”
words, suddenly made me lose the confidence to refute.
Could it really be that grandma did it?
I can't imagine that my usually kind grandmother can use a fetal corpse.
"Let's go, take me to see your family's ancestral grave."
As soon as I walked a few steps, it occurred to me that Xu Buhuo approached my house to get something. Now he wants to see the ancestral tomb, does he want to see if something is hidden in the ancestral tomb?
Suspicion makes me worry that Xu Buhuo knows the location of the ancestral tomb and secretly plays ghosts.
"Mr. Xu, my stomach hurts a little, or I will go again in the next day, and dinner will be coming soon." I pretended to be uncomfortable, Xu Buhuo nodded, and I left him and ran down the mountain.
When I was having dinner, I thought of the four earthen pots around Jiang Yan's grave, I asked my mother if I knew what Jiang Yan had made a fuss about at the beginning, and my mother shook her head and said that she didn't know, grandma did things without her consent, and outsiders were not allowed to watch from the side, only that she was busy working next to Jiang Yan's grave for a day.
Could it really be that grandma did it?
I can't imagine that my grandmother cut open the stomach of a young fetus and put it into the yellow talisman, and then stuffed it into an earthen pot and sealed it.
After eating, I was very sleepy, and my mother knew that I had lost my soul and had to stay up late, so she told me to go back to sleep first, and then come back to call me at almost twelve o'clock.
In a daze, I had a dream that I went to Jiang Yan's grave in the back mountain, and my hands were digging hard, wanting to dig up Jiang Yan's grave.
As I was planning, I suddenly heard my mother's crying voice, and I woke up with a cold silence, and the dazzling flashlight pierced me from opening my eyes.
My mother jumped up and hugged me tightly, and a cold wind blew, and I realized that I was not sleeping in my room, but in the cemetery in the back mountain, kneeling next to Jiang Yan's grave, and my nails were full of mud.
Xu Buhuo stood next to me, looking at me with a gloomy face.
After looking around carefully to make sure that it was not a dream, I asked my mother what was going on, wasn't I sleeping, why did I come to the cemetery in the back mountain.
My mother said that she was busy working in the old house before, and Aunt Li next door suddenly came to the door and asked me if I was sick, why I didn't pay attention to greetings, and walked on tiptoe, looking weird.
Knowing that I had gone to the graveyard in the back mountain, my mother hurriedly rushed to the back mountain, saw that I was digging Jiang Yan's grave, and called me a few times, but saw that I was completely unresponsive. She didn't dare to mess around, so she could only go and find Xu Buhuo.
When Xu Buhu came to see it, he said that I was possessed by a ghost, and then walked around me twice, recited a mantra, and I woke up.
When I went down the mountain, my whole body was weak for a while, and I always felt that my calves couldn't exert my strength.
"Mr. Xu, why am I like this?"
I know, Xu Buhuo must know why I was suddenly possessed by a ghost, this feeling is too terrifying, I don't know what I did in a daze.
"Your fourth and fifth spirits have been hooked away, the three souls and seven spirits have lost five spirits, and your soul is already unstable and easy to be possessed by ghosts."
Xu Buhuo turned his head to look at me, and his stunned eyes saw that I subconsciously lowered my head, feeling that he must have noticed something and wanted to know from my mouth.
It took me a while to come to my senses.
I really can't figure it out, I haven't met Mrs. Wang, so why did I lose two souls. I wanted to ask Xu Buhuo if the jade pendant could protect himself, but why was he taken away again.
But when the words came to my lips, I didn't dare to ask.
Xu Buhuo's actions during the day let me know that he must have noticed that the jade pendant was touched by Uncle Qin, and now if I ask how the jade pendant failed, he will inevitably ask me who moved the jade pendant.
This matter cannot be exposed yet.
Back at the old house, Xu Buhuo walked around his grandmother's coffin twice, as if checking whether he had been passive, and then sat back on the wooden chair and returned to his half-dead appearance.
Because of my weak heart, I didn't dare to sit next to him, but leaned on the back and took a nap.
It's past one o'clock in the morning.
The barking of the black dog chained to the well suddenly woke me up.
Directly opposite, the light of the soul suppressor lamp slowly emitted green light.
Here it comes.
