Chapter 4 Buried
The family of the female corpse was not found!
Old Ninth Master's face was sad, "I have already asked someone to make a coffin, and I will bury her tonight." ”
Although I was a little resistant in my heart, I also knew that this was the best way. If it's buried, if someone else makes this prank, it really can't be said.
"Yang Sheng, you are the only college student in the village, don't worry, Grandpa Nine will never let you have an accident." The old ninth master said a word, his face seemed to recall something, and he said to me with satisfaction: "Since our village came out of you, the old ninth master usually goes to the town, and the waist pole is straighter than others. ”
I grinned, and it did feel heartwarming.
"If you don't mind, just follow along, and after you're done, you burn two pieces of paper for that woman's corpse, and maybe it'll be fine!" The old ninth master stared at me, for fear that I would not be happy.
I said, "Cheng, don't say it's burning paper, just fill her with soil!" ”
"That's not possible, you're a college student, what is your identity? Can you fill a dead man? The old ninth master taught me a lesson, grinned again, and said, "Go, go with the ninth grandfather to bury her." ”
I said yes, and walked out of the house under my mother's worried gaze.
The old ninth master is in the village, it is definitely a word, he said that he buried people, and immediately found four or five old men, all of whom were relatives of the old ninth master.
I followed behind the old ninth master, but I saw a red lacquered coffin, which was carried out of the ancestral hall by these people, and walked all the way to the outside of the village.
There were no words or communication throughout the whole process, anyway, it was just burying a dead man. However, the people in the stockade, after seeing this scene, stretched out their heads and whispered in a whisper, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
I didn't bother to care about those gossips, I just stared at the coffin, and I was still a little panicked in my heart, after all, this is the first time for me to do this kind of thing. Burying people is unlucky in the eyes of outsiders, so people who are not married in the village are generally not allowed to participate.
When he arrived outside the village, Lao Jiu Ye pointed to a vacant land, even if the place where the bones were buried.
A few people picked up the big shovels, and dug out the hollow groove after dividing it by two. The old ninth master commanded, dropped the coffin into it, and then everyone began to fill in the soil, and in front of the tomb, piled up a few stones.
After burying the last spade of soil, the old ninth master stepped forward, opened the big backpack behind him, took out a few stacks of yellow paper from it, and lit it with a match.
"Girl, since you are in the village, it is also our fate. But people and ghosts have different paths, since you are dead, don't come back, live a good life underneath. If you lack anything and what is missing, you will give me a dream of this old bone, and I will burn it for you at a time. There is such a good young man in the village, you can just let him go, it's a big deal to burn more paper for you on the fifteenth day of the new year......" The old ninth master squatted on the grave and muttered a lot. When he was done, he gave me a look.
I hurried over, took the yellow paper, and said a few words, nothing more than to go all the way, everyone is good to get together and disperse. Although I still don't believe in any ghosts and gods in my heart, I also feel that no matter whether it is useful or not, I will say a few words first.
After everything was done, the old ninth master breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and pulled me towards the village. While walking, he also chatted with me, so that I could get ahead in the future.
When I got home, my mom hadn't slept yet, and when she saw me come in, she finally had a smile on her face. In her heart, as long as I am safe, it is more important than anything else.
After comforting my mother, I went out of the house, found a shovel in the yard, dug up a shovel from under the stove, and scattered it outside the courtyard gate.
Mrs. Zhang's method, whether it is useful or not, since it was bought for a hundred yuan, it should not be wasted.
After scattering the ashes, I closed the courtyard door and locked it inside. I also checked it out to make sure it was locked before I went back to the house.
When I got back to the house, I didn't have any confidence in my heart, so I lay in bed, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep. Although the woman's body is buried, I'm really not sure if I'll come tonight.
As I approached midnight, I felt my heart beat faster. This point in time is the time of the first two accidents, and I don't know if there is still the female corpse kneeling in the yard.
After lying in bed for a long time, I still mustered up the courage and opened the door of my room with a flashlight. I wanted to go out and see if the yard was empty. It's just that I can't raise the guts, so I keep standing there and hesitating.
At this time, I heard the sound of turning over in my mother's room, and my heart was somewhat calmer. It seems that my mother didn't sleep either, and she was also worried about it.
I suddenly had the courage to push open the door of the house, and when I used a flashlight to shine a light on the yard, my scalp exploded.
In the courtyard, the corpse of the woman still knelt, with snow-white skin, as if it would glow in the night. The pitch-black hair fluttered behind him, swaying one after another, and two ghostly fires were floating above his head. These two ghostly fires, like dark green eyes, flickered constantly. Her strange posture really made a confessional appearance like a fetus still in the mother's womb. Above her head, several crows chirped incessantly, as if they could swoop down at any moment.
When the yin wind blew, the hair gently swayed, and the two ghost fires were also floating up and down, indescribably eerie.
I couldn't help but be frightened, I really didn't want to disturb my mother, I couldn't throw this female corpse out myself, and I didn't want to frighten her. However, at this time, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the old ninth master with some self-reproach sounded, "Yang Sheng, that female corpse...... The female corpse broke open the coffin and ran out on its own! ”
I clenched my fists and saw that the lights were already on in my mother's room, and I knew that I couldn't hide it anymore, so I simply had the courage to open the door for the old ninth master. However, when I reached the door, I was horrified to see that the door was locked, almost exactly the same as when I locked it in the dark.
This made my cold hair explode, and my face changed for a while. The door lock didn't move, so how did this female corpse get in?
Could it be that this thing is really the daughter of the river god? Able to jump in on your own?
At this time, I didn't care about it, and after opening the courtyard door, I let the old ninth master and his party in.
Lao Jiu Ye saw the female corpse kneeling in the courtyard, his face turned a little pale with fright, patted his thighs and cried: "It's all buried for you, what else do you want?" What kind of ability, come to my old bones, don't touch the baby in our village! ”
I was moved in my heart, took the hand of the old ninth master, and said, "Ninth grandfather, don't be excited, this ......"
"It's killing me!" Grandpa Nine said angrily to the people behind him, "Why don't you pull her out?" ”
Several people behind him were also frightened at this time and didn't dare to step forward. Because tonight, they just buried this woman, and then they ran over again, which is simply too wicked.
Zhang Mo also ran over, and behind him, I saw Second Uncle Zhang. Second Uncle Zhang has been living under the pressure of public opinion for so many years, and he is only in his forties, looking like an old man in his sixties, with no flesh on his cheeks. He stood there as if he were a skeleton in a skin.
From my point of view, I could only see this elder, cowered in the corner, staring at the female corpse, his eyes obscure, and his hands trembling.
"What are you waiting for? Don't let me move out yet? The old ninth master pointed at them and scolded.
The faces of these people were a little cloudy, not that they didn't want to be obedient, but that this thing was really weird.
"Ninth Grandpa, if it doesn't work, this female corpse will be placed here first, if it doesn't work, let's call the police tomorrow!" I said it tentatively, but I was actually scared in my heart.
The old ninth master nodded, and agreed, turned around and scolded the people behind him: "You useless things, when it comes to the critical time, one by one, don't do anything, look at Yang Sheng, and you can still remember to call the police!" ”
I'm a little ashamed, after reading books for so many years, I know that when I encounter a major event, calling the police must be the first choice. Besides, the origin of this female corpse is unknown, maybe after calling the police, the police can find the family of the deceased in the first place?
As for the statement of the river god's daughter, I have never been willing to believe it.
"Don't go back today, it's all in the yard, wait with me, the old bones, and wait until the police comrades arrive." The old ninth master gave the order to die.
I was really moved in my heart, knowing that Lao Jiu Ye was taking care of my emotions and my reputation. As long as he is here, no one in this village can say anything.
The people outside the courtyard didn't leave, but they came in little by little and found a place with lights in the courtyard.
I hurried into the house, moved a few chairs, and asked my mother to boil some hot water and make two pots of tea for these people. These people were able to stay, although they were all ordered by the old ninth master, but after all, they were giving me courage. I deserve to make some indications. The conditions of our family are not very good, and two pots of tea are already the limit of what I can do.
Zhang Mo came up at this time, and he didn't dare to look at the female corpse, "Yang Sheng, I'm here to ask you something......
"What's the matter?" I saw that Zhang Mo was so solemn, and I suddenly became nervous.
