It was already completely dark, and it would be about eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, my grandfather heard Xinyangzi say that the iron drill was cut on the root of the tree, so he turned his head to look at the courtyard, it is true that there are trees in the yard, but it is too far from the root of the west wall, and the roots of the tree cannot escape here, so he squatted down and looked at the pit again, although the pit is only two feet deep, but because of the sky, it is dark and cannot see anything clearly.

My grandfather told Xinyangzi not to dig first, and he turned around and walked towards the door. When my grandmother saw him from afar, she asked him, "Brother, are you looking for anything?" ”

My grandfather replied to my grandmother, "I don't know what I'm digging for, go to the house and find a lantern candle or something that can light up my children." ”

My grandmother listened and said, "Then don't move, I'll go find it." With that, my grandmother walked a few steps into the house.

The room was darker than the outside, and my grandmother held a fire and took a photo, and there were no lanterns or candles or anything, only a small porcelain bowl was placed in the corner of the square table in the middle hall, and according to my grandmother's feeling at this time, it should be an oil bowl.

Walked over to take a look, sure enough, it was an oil bowl, which contained half a bowl of vegetable oil, and the oil was soaked in a twist made of cotton sleeve, one end of the twist was coiled at the bottom of the bowl, and one end was poked on the edge of the bowl, which should be the oil lamp used by Chen Bald and his son to illuminate at night.

Lighting the twist, my grandmother picked up the oil bowl from the table and took a picture of the room. The furnishings in the house are simple, but they are neatly organized. There was a wooden bed against the west wall, with not much bedding on it, which seemed to be the place where Chen Hui rested; On the east side is a room, with a green cloth curtain, which is probably the place where Chen Bald rests. The whole house, except for the inexplicable eerie atmosphere, is nothing strange.

After a few glances, my grandmother returned to the courtyard with the oil bowl, and after the oil bowl was handed to my grandfather, she stood far away.

Besides, my grandfather took the oil bowl from my grandmother's hand, held the cane in one hand, held the oil bowl in the other, bent down and shone into the pit. By the faint light of the oil lamp, my grandfather glanced at the iron drill head in the pit, and at this glance, he suddenly took a sharp breath, his hands trembled, and he almost didn't throw the oil bowl directly into the pit.

I saw that the sharp iron drill head was half stuck in the soil and half exposed, and the soil around the iron drill head was all wet red, as if it were red with blood.

At this time, Xinyangzi was still standing in the pit, dazed, my grandfather suppressed his heartbeat and said to him: "Dao Chief, I see that you are also tired, come up and rest for a while." ”

Xin Yangzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Poor Dao is not tired, can Brother Liu tell Poor Dao what the iron drill has scooped up?" At this time, although there was a bright light, Xin Yangzi's eyes still seemed to be unable to see.

My grandfather said, "I don't know what I got in the shovel, you loosen the iron drill and come up first." ”

When Xin Yangzi heard this, he directly let go of the iron drill, and the iron drill actually stood where it did not fall, it seems that the iron drill head is really tied to something.

My grandfather took Xinyangzi by one arm, and Xinyangzi groped his way up from the pit, and then my grandfather asked him to stand next to the pit and stuffed the oil bowl to him.

After freeing his hands, my grandfather stood on the edge of the pit and stretched out one arm to grab the iron drill handle, and raised his hand to pull the iron drill out. When pulling out the first time, the strength is small, it feels very powerful, it seems to be quite deep, when the second time I pulled it out, I pulled the iron drill out of the soil, and I took the iron drill oil lamp with one hand, and saw that the lower half of the iron drill head was covered with red mud brought up, wet, and there was a slight fishy smell on it.

Xinyangzi also smelled this fishy smell, so he asked my grandfather what he had dug up. My grandfather didn't speak, he stuffed the crutches in his hand to him again, and went down to the pit with his iron chisel, his back against the earthen wall, and he kicked the mud in the pit with one leg, and turned the iron chisel with both hands, and scraped up the piece of blood and soil that the iron chisel had just plunged into it.

As the blood and soil were scraped apart little by little, the speed of my grandfather's heartbeat gradually increased, and from the feeling coming from the iron chisel, it should be buried underneath a fleshy thing, because the iron chisel was still elastic when scraped up.

After the whole piece was scraped open, my grandfather and Xinyangzi asked for the oil bowl, and when they took a light on the flames, their hearts suddenly tightened.

I saw that under the bloody soil, a half-pulled human head was exposed, this head was sideways, the right half was scraped out by my grandfather, and the left half was still buried in the soil, and the face was mud and blood. My grandfather was scared at this time, he just felt disgusting.

In this half of the right face, there is a transverse incision, which just cuts this half of the face into two parts, and the bridge of the nose half buried in the soil is also cut in half, and the flesh and blood are accompanied by yellow mud, turning outward, this disgusting and terrifying scene can only be truly experienced by those who have seen it with their own eyes.

My grandfather looked at it a few times, estimated that he had reached his own psychological capacity, couldn't stand it anymore, raised his hand and handed the oil bowl to Xin Yangzi, and threw the iron drill out of the pit. At this time, Xin Yangzi, who took the oil bowl, asked my grandfather again, what was in the pit, whether it was a tree root.

My grandfather had already choked enough for the diaphragm, and the place where he was standing at this time should be the position of the man's waist and eyes in the soil, but it hadn't been dug out yet. Standing on a dead man and saying that he was buried in the soil under his feet was a dead man, I don't know if others can say it, anyway, my grandfather's heart is not so big, he can't open this mouth, and he wants to say that he will at least climb out of the pit.

My grandfather didn't rush back to Xinyangzi's words, and rubbed to the edge of the pit, because his legs and feet were not good, he couldn't lift his feet to the ground like a normal person, so he could only lean on the pit, hold the ground with his hands and kneel and climb up.

My grandfather first knelt the bad leg on the ground, leaned up with his whole body, followed by the other good leg from the pit and went up, but before he could put the good leg up from the pit, he suddenly felt a tightness in his feet and neck, and the whole person suddenly became excited, and hurriedly looked back and saw a white Sensen hand grabbing his foot and neck.

My grandfather suddenly screamed "ah", shook off the good leg in the pit and kicked it all the way, but fortunately the hand was not firmly grasped, and after a few kicks, my grandfather was thrown off his foot and neck, and he rolled and climbed up from the pit for the first time.

These things all happened in an instant, and by the time my grandmother and Xinyangzi reacted from my grandfather's exclamation, my grandfather was already sitting on the edge of the pit wiping the cold sweat on his face, panting heavily.

At this time, my grandmother didn't say that she was afraid of seeing the dead, so she ran to my grandfather's side as fast as she could, took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and asked him what was wrong.

My grandfather gasped and swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit, "When I climbed up from the pit, I was grabbed by a hand on my foot and neck, and it scared me to death......"

Hearing my grandfather say this, my grandmother wanted to turn her head to look into the pit, but my grandfather hurriedly pulled her, "Don't look at it, otherwise you won't be able to eat for a few days." ”

Hearing my grandfather say this, my grandmother immediately took her eyes back.

Xin Yangzi said at this time: "Brother Liu, what is buried under this? Why don't you tell you how many times I ask you? ”

My grandfather glanced at Xin Yangzi, perhaps because his eyes couldn't see, Xin Yangzi stood there motionless with an oil bowl, my grandfather said: "I haven't had time to tell you, there is a person buried in this soil, and I don't know if it's dead or alive. ”

Xin Yangzi's face changed when he heard this, and my grandmother was afraid that Xin Yangzi would blame herself in her heart, so she hurriedly said: "It must be a dead person, it is impossible to be alive." ”

"Can a dead man's face be bloody? How can he still grab my feet and neck? My grandfather asked, puzzled.

"When the ghost of a dead person turns into a ghost, the corpse will not rot, and if a sharp weapon is cut on the corpse, it will bleed, I don't think this corpse has been buried for a long time, if it is a little longer, the corpse will become a zombie, but I have never heard of grabbing people's feet and necks......" My grandmother said, helping my grandfather to stand up from the ground.

I asked for a cane from Xinyangzi and handed it to my grandfather, and my grandmother continued: "Look inside again to see if you can see the hand that grabbed you just now." ”

My grandfather dared to walk to the edge of the pit, looked inside, and said in confusion: "Why is it gone......"

Then, the pit was no longer dug, and the three of them stood on the edge of the pit to discuss what to do at this time.

Xin Yangzi's meaning, backfill the pit, and wait for tomorrow daytime, he will find their village chief as the owner of the Huanghua Guanguan, and come back openly, at this time, in the middle of the night, the three people broke into the house without saying, and they also killed people in the courtyard, if this is found by others, how to explain it?

As soon as my grandmother heard Xinyangzi's words, what she said was really this reason, what are the three of them doing at this time? Trespassing into private houses, still digging pits in people's yards? If you can give the person buried under the wall, the death must not be normal, it is likely that it was buried after being killed, and if you see the three of them digging out at this time......

My grandmother suddenly realized the seriousness of the discovery, and hurriedly said to my grandfather, "Brother, hurry up and fill in the hole, let's go, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Later, my grandfather carried the oil lamp, and my grandmother found a hoe in the yard to help.

At this time, Xinyangzi had already covered the face that was shoveled in two, and my grandmother only saw the loess in the pit, not the dead people, and she didn't feel afraid.

The light twist on the oil bowl was blown out, and the oil bowl was not sent back to the house in time, so it was placed at the gate of the courtyard, and the three of them left in a hurry. Fortunately, from the time they walked out of the courtyard gate of Chen Bald's house until they walked out of the village, they didn't meet anyone along the way.

When the three of them came home anxiously, my grandfather was waiting for them under the oil lamp, and on the stove, he gave them warm food.

Knowing that Xinyangzi's eyes were not good, as soon as my grandmother and the others came back, my grandfather immediately lit up all the objects that could be illuminated in the house, such as oil lamps, candles, horse lanterns, lanterns, etc.

The three of them entered the house in shock, washed their hands and faces, and they were all hungry, so they served food and ate around the table.

My grandfather looked at them with a cigarette, and when he saw that they had almost eaten, he asked them, why did they come back so late, and what happened to them from noon to now?

Xin Yangzi listened to my grandfather ask them, immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and stood up respectfully, my grandfather hurriedly motioned for him to continue eating, just talk while eating.

It is estimated that Xin Yangzi understands the truth of "food is silent and sleeping", and he didn't pick up the dishes and chopsticks when he put them on the table, unlike the elders in our family, who like to talk about things when eating.

Subsequently, Xin Yangzi explained the matter to my grandfather in detail.

After listening to this, my grandfather took a few puffs of cigarette and said lightly: "It seems that the three of you have met a real 'weir ghost' tonight......"

My grandmother and my grandfather were still eating at this time, and when my grandfather said this, my grandmother raised her head and asked, "Dad said that the man under the wall was buried alive?" ”

My grandfather nodded
