Who knew that as soon as he put his hand into the incense ash, a stinging pain came from his palm, Chu Ye was excited, and when he opened his right hand, the whole person froze in place with a pale face.

A wound of about 10 centimeters in the palm of the palm was impressive, almost spreading from the tiger's mouth to the wrist, and the dark red blood scab could still be clearly seen where it was not covered by the soot, and for a while, Chu Ye's mind fell into confusion. The grandmother, who was wiping the lid of the coffin, noticed that something was wrong with Chu Ye, and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Yezi, what's wrong?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay, I was scalded, and there is still incense in it that hasn't been extinguished. Chu Ye lied almost reflexively, but his mind was chaotic.

Fortunately, the others didn't notice his condition, only Luo Cripple kept staring at him, his eyes were unpredictable, and Chu Ye didn't know if he saw the wound on his hand.

Grandma couldn't help but worry and said, "Didn't you sleep well?" Or you go to bed first, and I'll find them to sprinkle it." ”

Without waiting for Chu Ye to speak, Luo Cripple first said: "This is not good, third sister, this must be sprinkled by filial piety, and after the Ruihua brothers are not left, it must be a male baby, only the eldest nephew will get it." Grandma was speechless.

This morning's incident is strange and inexplicable, and it is very taboo, grandma and other relatives have long since lost their opinions, and now Luo lame almost said what is what.

Chu Ye followed Luo Cripple's order and began to sprinkle incense ash around the coffin one by one, he didn't know what Luo Cripple wanted to do with him? But now Chu Ye was not interested in this at all, and his mind had been filled with wounds on his hands.

The width of the drawing line on the coffin lid was about the same length as the opening on Chu Ye's palm, and Chu Ye was almost certain that it was drawn with blood.

Before I fell asleep last night, there was absolutely no wound on my hand, and besides, such a long cut suddenly appeared on my hand, and I must have found it on the spot. The more I thought about Chu Ye, the more creepy I felt.

Is it sleepwalking? Impossible, since I was a child, I haven't heard people around me say that I have sleepwalking, and the strange thing is that the people who played cards last night actually said that they fell asleep, as long as they played cards, they were people who could not blink for a few days and nights, how could they sleep all night? It's a good time to play cards, and those people don't sleep at this moment.

It's such a coincidence, it's so weird. Thinking of this, a cool breath rushed from the soles of Chu Ye's feet to the Heavenly Spirit Cover.

Why did you draw such a pattern on the coffin of the second uncle? What does it represent? Seeing the solemn and frightened expressions of the people around him, Chu Ye couldn't help but think of some strange rural tales he had heard from others.

Chu Ye circled around the coffin and sprinkled incense ashes, and when Luo Cripple stopped, a thick layer of incense ash had been spread on the ground, and there was not much left in the incense burner.

During this period, no one in the entire mourning hall made the slightest sound, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the coffin of the second uncle and the few people who were doing things, including Chu Ye.

At this time, the parents and uncle also cleaned the pattern on the coffin lid, and the strange thing is that no matter how they wash, the pattern on it will leave shallow traces, as if it has been integrated with the coffin.

This made everyone else a little worried, and Grandma looked at Luo Cripple like a pleading. I saw that Luo Cripple waved his hand and said, "That's it, you don't have to worry about it if you can't wash it off, nothing will happen." ”

"Then Master Luo, what do you think is the situation?" Uncle couldn't help but ask.

Luo lame froze, and suddenly sneered twice and said, "What else can I do?" It must be Brother Ruihua or someone in your house who has offended someone, and he knows how to do something to rectify you, as for what is the matter, and who it is, I don't know, I have to think about it yourself. ”

These words made the parents and uncle look at each other, and at the same time looked at the other people in the spirit room suspiciously, the atmosphere in the spirit hall suddenly became very stiff and embarrassing, and the people next to them retreated in fear, for fear of doubting him.

Chu Ye still didn't say anything about the wound on his hand, if the picture on the coffin lid was really drawn by himself, it would be an oolong, and it would definitely make other people and even his parents think more. And Chu Ye always felt that this matter was not so simple.

"Are you okay now? Can the second brother be buried? Mom asked cautiously.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's time to be buried." Luo lame said indifferently.

Grandma breathed a sigh of relief and began to call for help, and it was only now that she seemed to have finally returned to a normal white thing.

Just as he was getting busy, the door in the back room was slammed open, and a man rushed straight out of it.

"You slutty hen, old **, you're here to harm my baby again." A hoarse voice rang out harshly.

Chu Ye fixed his eyes and saw that it was his grandmother.

At this moment, the grandmother looked like crazy, her headband hung diagonally on her ears, the silver threads on her head were as unkempt as weeds, her eyes were full of indescribable hatred, her face was even more hideous, and all kinds of unbearable foul words popped out of her mouth, which was extremely terrifying.

She raised the smooth elm cane in her hand, pointed at Chu Ye who was standing next to the coffin, and stumbled to the front of her, and before Chu Ye came back to her senses, the cane came down and hit him on the shoulder.

Chu Ye's teeth were so painful that his body went down, and as Chu Ye was beaten, another scream sounded, and Grandma rushed over like crazy and pushed Grandma to the ground.

"You ghost old woman, it's not good to beat me, beat Lao Tzu's baby."

Grandma didn't stop, banging over, Chu Ye had already dodged to the side, and the stick hit the second uncle's coffin non-stop. Only then did the others react and stepped forward to pull away the grandmother and grandma who were scuffling together.

It has been noisy for a long time, and Abba and a few people got Grandma into the back room, and Grandma kept scolding the "dead old woman".

I didn't expect that there would be so many accidents before the second uncle was buried, the expressions of my parents, uncle and some relatives were not very good, and Chu Ye couldn't figure out why his grandmother suddenly went crazy and beat him? Who is the person she is scolding?

After all the trouble in the morning, now that it was already bright, Grandma and Uncle hurriedly beckoned someone to carry the coffin and bury it. Despite the assurances of the lame man, the people who came to help in the village still retreated, and the grandmother added money and talked badly to get a few coffin men to agree to carry the coffin.

The funeral procession also staggered on the road.

Chu Ye and the two cousins each held a wreath and followed behind their parents, and the two cousins kept muttering something on the way, glancing at Chu Ye for a while, with a gloating look on their faces.

Chu Ye knew that they must be talking about grandma beating him in the morning. Since he was a child, his grandmother, who had never even said anything heavy to Chu Ye, beat him at such a time, which was undoubtedly very happy for the two unloved cousins.

The place where the second uncle is buried is also next to the Broken Dragon River, almost 7 miles away from home, and the mountain over there was blown up in the past, which just cut off the river, which is also the origin of the name Broken Dragon River, which is also related to Chu Ye's family. That was still when Grandpa Chu Ye was there.

Chu Ye's great-grandfather Chu Fang was the big landlord of Qiantang Village at that time, and he formed a militia team during the Republic of China to protect the entire village.

In the 15th year of the Republic of China, zombies suddenly broke out in the village, injuring several people in a row, and the whole village was panicked, and even the Kuomintang troops stationed at the village checkpoint were withdrawn.

Chu Fangzheng invited several ghost hunting masters, and even invited Maoshan Taoist priests from the provincial capital to no avail, and people died. Just as he was frowning, a self-proclaimed Taiping Daoist Mr. Bazi suddenly came and told Chu Fangzheng that the reason for the zombie infestation was in the river.

At that time, this river was not called the Broken Dragon River, but was called the Taiping River, which originated from the Taiping Mountain not far from Qiantang Village, and the Taiping Taoist people also called it because they practiced in the mountain.

He said: "The Taiping River is transformed by a dark dragon, and it has become a cemetery that the climate will inevitably infect the surrounding area, and now it can only be cut off." ”

Subsequently, under the command of the Taiping Daoist, the water flow was cut off at the dragon's head, and the mountain was blown up at the waist and abdomen, and then the remaining part of the bridge was repaired in a row, and the whole river was cut into four sections, and the people in the village also changed the Taiping River to the Broken Dragon River, and the Daoist dealt with the zombies in the village, and since then the village has not had zombies again.

Of course, these things are also what Chu Ye heard from the people in the village, no one can tell whether it is true or false, the only thing that can be sure is that the two bridges and the embankment blocking the water in the upper reaches of the Broken Dragon River were indeed built by Grandpa Tai.

It's just that after this morning's incident, these country gossips have become incredibly real.
