Zhu Fengling stood in front of the moved tombstone for a long time, and he didn't come up with any clues, so he didn't think about it anymore. It's just that that night, she always felt a little unsteady, and fell asleep much slower than usual, but after all, she still fell asleep in tossing and turning.
She had a dream in which she woke up in the middle of the night, stood by the window and looked at the cemetery outside, only to see something she had never seen before.
It was a creature very similar to a monkey, except that it was hairless and larger than the average monkey. Its two eyes were surprisingly large, and the teeth in its mouth were long and pointed.
The moment she saw that thing, Zhu Fengling was stunned. Not because she hadn't seen a monkey, or because the monkey had no hair, but because it was digging through the ground under a tombstone with its two front paws, and quickly gouged out the coffin, and then it lifted the lid of the coffin and jumped onto the corpse.
After that, she didn't remember what the hairless monkey had done, maybe it was the dream that stopped here, so she had no memory of what happened after that.
The next morning, Zhu Fengling woke up and suddenly had a strange feeling, she felt as if she had seen the previous grave keeper, Lao Li, last night. She felt that her feeling was ridiculous, because Lao Li had already died tragically, and even if it was in the cemetery, it was absolutely impossible to see him again.
She went to the cemetery as usual. When she walked over to a tombstone, she noticed that it seemed to have been moved again. She stood in front of the tombstone and looked closely, trying to see whose grave it was, and whether it was related to the one last time.
Suddenly, she was stunned, stood up straight, and turned her head to look back, and at the end of her gaze was the hut where she had rested at night.
A picture cracked like lightning, and she suddenly took a breath because she realized that the hairless monkey was not what she had seen in her dreams at all, but had really been here.
She took two steps back, her eyes a little apprehensive.
That night, she couldn't sleep. Time seemed to pass very slowly, and midnight was late.
Zhu Fengling didn't close her eyes, she wanted to know what that monkey-like thing had done. Her heart was torn and uneasy, hoping that it would appear again, but she was afraid that it would appear.
In the end, Zhu Fengling didn't wait for anything.
She thought she was probably too sensitive, maybe she had never had a hairless monkey, everything was just a dream. As for the two tombstones, maybe they hadn't been moved at all, and she was mistaken.
For a long time, everything was normal, with no more tombstones being moved, and no dreams of the hairless monkey appearing.
It wasn't until ten years later, when Zhu Fengling was forty years old, that she dreamed of that thing again.
No, it wasn't a dream. The memory of ten years ago recovered, and the uneasiness in Zhu Fengling's heart broke out like a sprouted seed again.
There were traces of another tombstone being moved, but this time, Zhu Fengling couldn't tell himself that it was just an illusion.
The tombstone was completely toppled down, and the ground below was turned into a mess. The moment she saw all this, Zhu Fengling felt her heart tighten.
Here it is again. That thing, here it is again.
Zhu Fengling's inner uneasiness gradually intensified, and she felt a little cold on the skin all over her body.
Coming to her senses, she looked around in a panic, then returned to the hut, took out a shovel, and did her best to restore the tomb and tombstone to their original state. However, her uneasiness did not abate. When she returned home, she took out a piece of cloth, made a curtain, and put it on the window of the cottage.
Night fell. She closed the door tightly, pressed the table against the door, and then closed the window shut. Even though it was hot, she couldn't take care of that much.
She didn't turn on the light because she was afraid that the light would attract the object's attention. She sat on the bed and waited quietly for midnight to come, as if she knew the hairless monkey would come.
Zhu Fengling just sat on the edge of the bed. The moonlight outside the window was bright, but it was blocked by the curtains, and the room was pitch black, and even a little moonlight penetrated through the cracks in the curtains, but it still could not break through the darkness.
Zhu Fengling didn't even move. She was listening, and she knew that as soon as that thing started to gouge the ground, it was bound to make a noise.
Her nerves were tense all the time, which made her feel very tired, but she didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
Finally, at midnight, a strange noise came from the cemetery. The voice was not loud, but to Zhu Fengling's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky.
She stood up and walked slowly to the window, peering out through the gap in the curtain.
The moonlight was cold and bright. The moonlit cemetery looks eerie and solemn, it is the land of the dead, the silent world.
Except, underneath a certain tombstone, a hairless monkey was rapidly digging in the earth, and soon, the tombstone fell to the side. The monkey did not stop, and continued to dig downward, digging out the coffin. It lifted the lid of the coffin and jumped onto the corpse.
Zhu Fengling looked at all this, and her heart beat fast.
And what the hairless monkey did next made her eyes widen.
The monkey let out a strange cry, stretched out its sharp paws, gouged out one of the corpse's eyes, put it in its mouth and ate it. When Zhu Fengling saw this scene, she only felt a surge in her stomach. She held back and didn't make any moves.
After the monkey had eaten the first eye, he stretched out his claws, gouged out the remaining eye, and put it in his mouth again.
The monkey's action didn't end there. With another strange scream, it began to tear the flesh of the corpse's chest and abdomen, cut open the abdominal cavity, and began to eat the internal organs.
Zhu Fengling couldn't hold back any longer. She covered her mouth with her hands and closed her eyes, but the image still replayed itself in her mind over and over again. She didn't dare make any noise, she was afraid of attracting the attention of the thing.
She didn't know how she survived the middle of the night, and she couldn't remember when the monkey had left. It was only after dawn that she finally mustered up the courage to walk to the grave that had been dug up last night to look at it.
The coffin was buried again, the ground was uneven, and the tombstone was lying aside.
It was a relatively new tomb, and the owner of the tomb was an old man who had died of illness.
Standing here, Zhu Fengling couldn't help but think that the old man's body was not far from her feet at the moment, and it was already unrecognizable and miserable. The old man was an honest peasant in the village, and he had never provoked anyone, but he did not expect to suffer such a catastrophe after his death.
Zhu Fengling felt both frightened and sad.
She scanned the entire cemetery, and suddenly thought that this was the place where everyone in Dark Crow Ridge Village returned, and she didn't know when, she would also die here.
She shuddered, scolding herself for being cranky. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
