Chapter Forty-Nine: No Body

The villagers also mentioned this matter, and I didn't pay much attention to it, but when I think of all the cases, like the case in Shangnan Village, there are no clues, is there really a ghost?

In the case of Shangnan Village, everything was man-made, and only in the final decisive battle with Fang Shenpo appeared, a white python appeared.

I said, "Sister-in-law Osmanthus, we don't want to disturb the peace of the deceased, we know it's not right to do this, but ...... In order to investigate the murderer and find out the truth, we must do it. ”

Zheng Jinghong also said, "Sister-in-law, think about your man, think about the men who died in the village and those poor women, we want to find the murderer, avenge these people, and punish the murderer." ”

We tried our best to persuade Osmanthus, at the beginning, Osmanthus didn't agree to anything, and finally, thinking of the tragic death of his man, remembering the situation at home over the years, finally agreed to us.

Osmanthus for us to prepare at home? heads, shovels, etc., every household in the countryside has these farm tools.

This matter cannot be known to Uncle Zhou and his wife, and no one else in the village can be known.

Osmanthus assured us that absolutely no one went to the cemetery at night, especially after it was rumored that there were ghosts in the cemetery, and no one dared to go at night, so it was very safe to move at night.

However, Osmanthus told us that the villagers buried people, buried very deeply, and used an excavator to dig the ground, which was more than two meters deep, and made a hole underneath and put the coffin inside, and a few of us dug it, I am afraid it would take seven or eight hours.

No matter how long it takes, we have to dig up.

After eleven o'clock in the evening, Uncle Zhou and the second old man fell asleep, and the osmanthus took us up the mountain, and we walked along the path, and in more than half an hour, we had arrived at the cemetery.

The cemetery is in a vacant lot on the slope of the mountain, and the whole village will be buried here after death, surrounded by cornfields, there are hundreds of graves of all sizes, and rows of pines and cypresses are planted around the cemetery, which encloses the whole cemetery in the middle.

The mountain breeze is a little cool, we try not to turn on the flashlight, for fear of being discovered, the moonlight is very bright, and we can see the environment in front of us.

The entrance of the cemetery is an ancestral hall more than three meters high, which enshrines a statue of a god, this statue is like a tomb keeper, guarding the entire cemetery.

When we walked to the door of the ancestral hall, Osmanthus said, "Worship God first, then dig a grave, and anyone who comes to the cemetery must worship God." ”

Zheng Jinghong said, "Worship God? Where there are any gods and ghosts in the world, you go and worship, but I don't worship. ”

I didn't believe it before, but the case in Shangnan Village and the matter of Lingling made me have to believe it.

Osmanthus said, "Don't talk nonsense here, be careful of what happens, since you are here, this is etiquette and customs, go and worship." ”

I pulled Zheng Jinghong, "Bow together." ”

It doesn't hurt to worship God for peace or not.

The ancestral hall is a little dilapidated, and there are traces of repair in many places, which may be too old, and even if it is repaired, there is no way to make it look new.

We turned on the flashlight, and the statue turned out to be a woman, and the statue was a little worn, and even the paint in many places had fallen off, but looking at her face and dress, it was an ancient beauty, and her whole body was carved, which was the same as the statue in the temple, giving people a solemn feeling.

But coming here at night, there's always an eerie feeling.

"What is it?" The flashlight in Lingling's hand shone in a direction behind the idol, and it was nine white things, like snakes, hovering behind the idol, and when they looked closer, each one was engraved with dense lines.

Zheng Jinghong said, "That seems to be ...... Tail, the tail of a fox. ”

Osmanthus covered Zheng Jinghong's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, shut up for me." ”

Osmanthus is a little angry, under normal circumstances, you can't talk nonsense when you enter the temple and Taoist temple.

Osmanthus took out the incense candles from her bag, as well as the fruits, placed them on the altar in front of the idol, lit the incense candles, and began to prostrate and pray.

Osmanthus knelt on the ground, the three of us knelt beside her, and Osmanthus began to pray, "Fox Fairy Niangniang, we disturbed you, we came to the cemetery this time to investigate the affairs of the village, to dig up the grave and examine the body, we know that doing so will disturb you and will be disrespectful to the deceased, but everything is to find out the murderer." ”

"Please forgive us and tolerate us."

"I've been here nineteen times, and today is the twentieth time, I hope the fox fairy will bless our village with safety and no more accidents."

Fox fairy?

After the prayer, we began to kowtow, and after kowtowing three times, we were about to get up and leave, when suddenly there was a strange sound from the side of the idol, as if something was cracking.

We were all taken aback.

Osmanthus trembled with fright, and hurriedly said: "Fox Fairy Niangniang, please bear with us, we have no intention of offending you......"

Suddenly, I felt that something was wrong with the spirit on my right, and her eyes turned blood-red!

The blood-red color flashed and then disappeared the next, and the spirit was to my right, right next to me, staring ahead, only I could see.

"Lingling......" I took Lingling's hand and stood up, "Are you alright?" ”

"It's fine." Lingling said, "I just ...... It was as if I heard a woman's voice. ”

A woman's voice? What woman's voice?

"Maybe I misheard." Lingling smiled at me, "Let's go." ”

Just now I clearly saw Lingling's eyes turn red, flashing, could it be that there is a demon here?

Zheng Jinghong helped the osmanthus up, the osmanthus was pale, and her mouth was still chattering.

I took a flashlight and shone it at the idol, and suddenly I realized...... In the middle of the idol's head, a crack opened, a gap as wide as a finger!

I heard something crack just now, and it turned out to be a god idol.

When Osmanthus saw it, she was frightened and kowtowed and begged for mercy and prayed.

Zheng Jinghong said, "This ancestral hall has been around for some years, it has been subjected to wind and rain all year round, and the recent high temperature, the statue is also made of mud and materials, and it is normal for it to crack, you look at the walls around it, there are small cracks in many places." ”

"Osmanthus, don't be careful."

After a few more kowtows, we left.

Walking out of the ancestral hall, Osmanthus said, "Let you not talk nonsense, you just don't listen, the fox fairy Niangniang is very spiritual, this ancestral hall has a history of more than 100 years." ”

I was puzzled and asked: "This is the cemetery, I understand that there is an ancestral hall in the cemetery, and I understand that there are statues, they are all some Zhong Kui gods or some other gods, why do you worship fox fairies?" ”

Osmanthus said, "This mountain, called Hu Mountain, before the reform and opening up, called Fox Mountain, it is rumored that there are fox fairies in the depths of the mountain, since ancient times, it is the fox fairy to bless the village under our mountain." ”

I understand that these are traditions, just like the pagoda in Shangnan Village, which is found in every village, and the villagers will worship it.

The new graves were all inside, and we walked along the path, and after a few minutes, we finally found three graves.

We knelt down in front of the grave, begged for forgiveness from the owner, and then began digging the grave.

Zheng Jinghong and I were in charge of digging, and Osmanthus and Lingling were in charge of shoveling the soil we had dug aside.

Tired, drink saliva, rest for a while, and continue digging, Zheng Jinghong's body is thin, his physical strength is not very good, and he is not as strong as Lingling and Osmanthus.

We dug until noon the next day, when we finally dug up the grave, and I used my tools to pull out the seven sealing nails.

The four of us were almost exhausted and paralyzed, we went down to the pit, Lingling and Osmanthus covered their noses, and the corpse was in the coffin for two months, and it must have stinked and moldy.

I checked the coffin, lifted the lid of the coffin, and there was no body inside!

We were stunned.

The coffin contained money for the funeral, books that he liked to read during his lifetime, a mobile phone, and some odds and ends.

Zheng Jinghong's face was full of doubts, "How can there be no corpse?" Why are there no corpses? ”

We all looked at Osmanthus, and Osmanthus looked shocked, "There are people buried in the village, and every family in each team has to go to one person to help, everyone has seen Zhang Yuan's burial with their own eyes, how can there be no corpse?" ”

Ling Ling said, "Could it be that the body was not in the coffin at all?" Was it an empty coffin when buried? ”

Zheng Jinghong said, "This is unlikely, how can a family member not put a coffin when he dies?" Moreover, rural people are carrying coffins on the road, and a person's body is about 100 catties, and if there is no one inside, it will be felt. ”

Ling Ling objected to Zheng Jinghong's words, saying, "This is not necessarily, the coffin is also made of a lot of wood, different sizes, different weights, coffins are generally carried by eight people, and the strength is separated, who can be sure that there is no body inside?" ”

I frowned, "When I pulled out the coffin nails just now, no one moved, the coffin nails were all formed at one time, nailed up, if someone pulls out the nails and nails them again, the nails will bend, the head will not be nailed, and there will be some traces of secondary nails left on the edge of the coffin, but there are no traces on the surface." ”

"In other words, this coffin has not been opened since it was sealed, and I opened it just now."

"There is only one possibility, when it was buried, there were no bodies in it."

Zheng Jinghong checked the nails I threw aside in the pit, and then checked the places on the coffin that were nailed by the nails to confirm my words.

Osmanthus Hua's face was terrible, "When a person dies, he has to keep a watch, and there are people next to the corpse twenty-four hours a day, who will steal the corpse from Zhang Yuan's house?" ”

This is going to investigate the family of Zhang Yuan's family.

"Three people died two months ago, and we went to dig other graves. ”

"Yes." I nodded heavily, "That's right, we see that the bodies in the other graves are not there." ”

"Still digging?" Osmanthus said, "Even if we dig again, we should go back, I want to say hello to my parents, just say something, and we haven't seen anyone for a long time, my parents are not so easy to deceive, besides, what if we meet the villagers?" We didn't rest all night, so let's go back and rest and come back tomorrow night to dig. ”

Osmanthus has a point, but now I can't wait to know the answer.

I said, "Osmanthus, tell me where the grave is, the three of us dig it, you go back first, and you come over in the evening and bring us something to eat." ”

Zheng Jinghong said, "That's what I mean, fight quickly, no matter how tired I am, I will persevere." ”

Osmanthus could not persuade us, led us inside, found a new grave, and left first.

After more than two hours, we dug more than half a meter, and suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and more than a dozen figures rushed towards us.
