Chapter 8: Graveyard Fraud
The weather was very cold on this day, Chu Ye, who was wearing a leather jacket, couldn't help but tremble, his hands were numb by the cold wind, and the cousin next to him began to complain when he was less than a third of the way, and the more he got to the back, the heavier the complaint. The gloomy sky was covered with dark clouds, as miserable as this funeral procession.
When they approached the cemetery, snowflakes fell in the sky, causing a wave of surprise in the crowd. Even in this southern village with four distinct seasons, snow in November is extremely rare. The first snow staggered and fell on his face, causing a coldness.
It was almost afternoon when he arrived at the place where the second uncle was buried, and Chu Ye had already raised the wreath and his shoulders were sore. The bare rocks of the collapsed mountain that had not grown a single vegetation formed a strong contrast with the lush woods behind, and the cemetery of the second uncle was on the edge of a cornfield at the corner behind it, where someone had already dug a square earth pit more than a meter deep and stones from the masonry factory.
Chu Ye didn't like this place very much, especially the mountain bag formed by the collapsed mountain rocks looked very uncomfortable. The burial in the countryside is very particular about feng shui, and Chu Ye does not feel that the feng shui of this place has any benefits, but this place was chosen by Luo Cripple, and there may be other different places, anyway, the relatives have no opinion on Luo Cripple's choice of place, and Chu Ye is a white man to feng shui, and he can't say why.
When carrying the coffin to the side of the cemetery, the snowflakes in the sky also fell more intensively, and Chu Ye was so cold that his teeth chattered, and at this time, the uncle was directing the coffin to put the coffin of the second uncle into the grave.
"1, 2, 3, up-down, slow, slow."
Accidents also happened at this time.
One of the coffinmen carrying the head of the coffin suddenly slipped when he got out of the coffin, and the heavy coffin fell into the grave with a sharp tilt, and the other three people also slid into the tomb by inertia. Seeing this, Chu Ye threw away the wreath and hurriedly squeezed to the front.
"What's going on?" The uncle who commanded the coffin was stunned and then asked angrily.
The coffin man who slipped at the beginning turned pale like a ghost, and climbed up from the grave in a panic with a "wow" hand and foot, and then hid in the crowd, and the uncle pulled him out in a rage.
"What are you hiding from a turtle grandson, you still do this kind of thing after adding so much money."
The coffin man did not answer the uncle's question, but pointed to the other three coffin men who had just climbed up from the grave, "I said don't carry the coffin today, it's so evil in the morning, you will pull me together as soon as you hear about the money." ”
The coffin man reminded him of the morning's incident, coupled with the accident just now, so that the atmosphere suddenly fell into weirdness and fear, and when the uncle heard this, the blue tendons on his forehead jumped, and he pointed at the man's face and scolded, "What are you talking about, your mother is evil." ”
Saying that he was about to do it, his parents and some relatives hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, Chu Ye was also on fire at the moment, and so many things had happened to the second uncle, and he didn't know what to say by those who chewed the root of his tongue.
In an instant, a bunch of people made a mess next to the coffin of the second uncle, no one noticed the situation on Chu Ye's side, Chu Ye, who was crowded on the edge of the tomb, only felt that he was being pushed, and the whole person fell into the grave, just falling in the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin, and with the inertia sliding to the side, the taut yellow table paper finally couldn't bear the gravity and was torn along the gap. At the same time as the coffin lid was opened, the body of the second uncle also rolled out of it and covered Chu Ye's body impartially.
It was also at this time that Chu Ye finally saw the face of the second uncle after his death.
The remains of modern rural burials do not have funeral parlors to pay attention to burial makeup, and the face of the second uncle when he died is still intact, and the dry skin is covered with corpse spots
It seems that the whole face is twisted into a ball in extreme pain, and the large mouth can clearly see the blackened teeth of the smoke, which matches the expression on the face, as if it will immediately pounce on the body and bite you hard.
Chu Ye was so frightened that he pushed the body of the second uncle away and crawled frantically towards the grave. The people around were also stunned for a while, but no one reached out to pull Chu Ye.
Chu Ye wanted to climb out, but he didn't expect the threads that came out of his clothes to be mixed with the buttons on the second uncle's old clothes, and when he got up suddenly, he suddenly pulled the second uncle to sit up, almost sticking to Chu Ye.
Cuckoo.
The second uncle's throat suddenly made a sound like water boiling. Chu Ye immediately froze and did not move, and with the sound of his throat, the second uncle's closed eyes opened.
Chu Ye, who was next to the second uncle, looked at his face reflected in his pupils, which was different from the eyes of a living person, these eyes had no color, they were dark and bottomless, and a layer of gray white puffs was slowly surging on the eyeballs.
The movement of the second uncle's corpse was also clear to others, and after less than two seconds of silence, someone finally took the lead in tearing out his throat and screaming heartbreakingly.
"Corpse, corpse."
Chu Ye also came to his senses in the screams, turned around and climbed up frantically. This time, the second uncle didn't move at all, and there was a long thread torn off by Chu Ye on the button.
The people around him had already scattered and fled like frightened birds, and when they reached the top of the tomb, Chu Ye seemed to have exhausted all his strength just now, and his legs were so weak that it became difficult to even stand. Fortunately, at this time, his parents came over, and one of them helped Chu Ye to pull him up, and their expressions were shocked and frightened, as if they didn't believe what was happening in front of them at all.
At this moment, the second uncle's sitting body stood up straight like a marionette, and with his movements, a tooth-aching joint friction sound sounded one after another. And his knees did not bend in the slightest, but as if stepping on a spring, he jumped on the top of the grave in an instant, and seeing his movements, the word 'zombie' immediately popped up in Chu Ye's mind.
As soon as he arrived above, the second uncle in front of him turned his head stiffly, and his lifeless eyes looked straight at Chu Ye.
Without waiting for Chu Ye's reaction, he jumped to Chu Ye's side at once, and when Grandma saw the second uncle coming to his side, she was stunned, and suddenly knelt in front of the second uncle, grabbed his clothes and cried, "Second brother, what are you doing?" ”
The second uncle didn't care about it, and his body leaned straight in the direction of Chu Ye.
Chu Ye, who was almost suffocated by fear, instinctively rolled backwards, dodging the second uncle who was getting closer and closer. Then he got up and ran forward in a panic.
As soon as he took a step, the second uncle followed closely, unlike just now, the second uncle at this moment seemed to be jumping and walking, looking stiff, but he was not far behind in speed.
Chu Ye is not familiar with the place where the second uncle is buried, and he has only been here once or twice when he was a child, so the situation at this time is even more unclear. He didn't dare to look back and see if the second uncle had caught up.
The snow was also falling heavier at this time, and it was swept in the face by the wind. At this moment, Chu Ye ran like a fly without a head, and when he finally lost the strength to lean against a plane tree and gasped for breath, he found that there was no one around him, and he didn't know which forest he was running in, only the whirring of the wind and snow and the sound of the branches shaking.
Chu Ye was paralyzed under the tree and waited for his breath before he looked around. When he saw the weedy and mossy tomb in the upper left, he finally knew where he was. Unknowingly, I ran to the grave of my grandmother.
When the grandmother died, because the family offended the governor of the Kuomintang in the middle road district at that time, the house was raided, and the children and grandchildren did not even erect a tombstone, so they hastily buried the grandmother here.
Thinking of the terrifying scene just now, he suddenly saw Chu Ye's face in the cemetery turn white, and he looked around in fright, and let out a long sigh when he saw that the second uncle had not caught up. But soon Chu Ye was nervous again, at that time, his parents were beside the second uncle who deceived the corpse, and he didn't know how they were now? If the second uncle hadn't caught up with Chu Ye and reflexively dealt with his parents, it would have been a disaster.
Thinking of this, Chu Ye couldn't stay for a moment, and hurriedly turned around and walked back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, a body exuding the breath of death was standing stiffly in front of Chu Ye, Chu Ye's scalp was at a glance, and it stopped abruptly as soon as he made a sound, the second uncle's straight arm wrapped around Chu Ye's neck, and his cold fingers were like twisted wires wrapped around Chu Ye's throat, and he couldn't breathe for half of his breath.
