The Li family is a big surname in the neighborhood, and according to legend, this family has been multiplying here for hundreds of years, counting from the first generation of migrants, and the genealogy has been recorded in the seventeenth generation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 According to the village chronicles, when the ancestors first settled here, there were only a few families, and then gradually developed into the current scale of several hundred.

Later, the superiors felt that there were a lot of school-age children in the vicinity, and it was not a matter to travel more than ten miles to go to school in the village every day, so they simply built a primary school on the edge of the village. A few tiled houses were built, a piece of land was enclosed as a playground, and then there were flagpoles on the playground, and two private teachers were dispatched, and a school was ready to work.

The school is built at the foot of a dirt hill outside the village, where forty or fifty children within a radius of ten miles go to school, and the school has two teachers, each with a class, one teaching Chinese, mathematics, music, physical education, and painting, and the other also teaching Chinese, mathematics, music, physical education, and painting.

The school has a history of more than ten years from its establishment to the present, and it is said that it is very particular when the site was first selected, and the old master was invited to see the feng shui, and the last address was chosen, which is a mass grave, and I don't know which dynasty and which generation and which clan are the cemetery, and even the oldest village chief does not know what the origin of this mass grave is.

In the north, many schools are built on the cemetery, ancient China for thousands of years are popular burial, where there are human gatherings, after how many years of reproduction, life and death, gradually formed a large area of cemetery, these cemeteries occupy a lot of places, in recent years, often people in the digging soil, digging the ground can turn out some forest bones.

Although many cemeteries have long been deserted and abandoned, occupying a large area of land, they have been empty and untouched. Everyone is more taboo about this kind of place, which can neither be used as a cultivated land nor a homestead - only a school is just right.

It is also an ancient custom to build a school on the cemetery, and it is said that because the children in the school are teenagers, it is important to have a strong yang energy and easy to suppress evil spirits.

And there is a folk saying that the grave is a hole, the hole is a school, and the tomb is a text, so it is a good sign for the school to be built on the cemetery, and it is easy to produce talents.

There is also a saying related to Wenqu Xing. Some people say that the cemetery is so heavy that ordinary houses can't be suppressed, so they can only rely on Wenquxing Town -- according to this statement, if it is very resentful, then it has to be a military academy town.

The school's playground is on top of a mass grave, and I remember that when villagers used to dig here, they could often dig out some broken bones and remains.

The news that Commissioner Zhang was going to catch the "water ghost" spread far and wide, and before the group of people arrived at the playground, they had already seen the crowd standing around to watch the excitement. In such small places, the transfer of information between people is sometimes faster than modern communication technology.

At this moment, the stagnant water on the playground has almost dried up, leaving large and small puddles of water on the ground. In the center of the playground there was a pit that was a foot square, and according to the memories of several children, it was exactly the place where Ah Chong had fallen in.

The villagers did not dare to step forward and watched from afar. Commissioner Zhang was bold, leaned forward to observe, and saw that the pit was only a foot deep, and the bottom had been blocked by sludge, and there was still a lot of stagnant water in it. He nodded and turned to the old village chief and muttered a few words in his ear.

The old village chief coughed, "Dig!" ”。

A few young people took out the hoes, shovels and other tools they carried, shoveled and planed indiscriminately, and after a while, they dug a big pit around the pit that was more than 1 meter wide and more than 1 meter deep, and a bold descendant used a shovel to shovel the clumps of soil on the edge of the pit, and after a while, a dilapidated old coffin gradually showed its original shape in the mud.

This coffin was buried in some age, the wood outside has rotted like dirt, the coffin is very thick, the inner layer still maintains the structure of wood, there is a hole in the top of the coffin, I don't know if it was originally there, or it was recently stepped on, from the side, you can see a pool of green sewage inside, exuding a pungent fishy smell.

Commissioner Zhang wore a pair of water boots, a pair of rubber gloves, held an iron wedge and inserted it into the seam at the bottom of the coffin, and gently knocked it a few times with a claw hammer, and a stream of turbid and smelly green water flowed out of the coffin crack, which slowly seeped into the soil under the coffin.

Commissioner Zhang didn't seem to mind at all, took out a white handkerchief, covered his nose, took a thin iron chisel with a hook on his head more than one meter long from his entourage, and carefully examined the contents of the coffin, and the surrounding villagers craned their necks from several meters away to watch. Although nothing could be seen, there was a constant sigh of sighs from the crowd.

Seeing that the crowd was getting tighter and tighter, the old village chief ordered a few strong juniors to blast everyone else away. There are only a few middle-aged and elderly people with relatively high seniority and status in the village left by the pit.

Later, according to the rumors of the villagers who participated in the excavation, the coffin was buried for an unknown number of years, and although it was rotten on the outside, it was smooth as new on the inside, which showed that the coffin was made of fine wood. The most bizarre thing is that after draining the sewage in the coffin, there is a wet corpse inside, the head and face have long since decayed into rags, but the skin on the whole body is still connected. There was a large hole in the belly of the corpse, and the internal organs inside had long been rotten like mud.

The most terrifying thing is that there are deep scratches on the walls and inside of the coffin lid. The villagers all spread that there were living people buried in this coffin!

The villagers spread more and more evil, and some people kept adding fuel to the fire. Some people say that the coffin is buried in the lady of a large family, so a good coffin board is used, this eldest lady is usually indecent, unmarried and pregnant, bad morals, the landlord is afraid of ruining the reputation, so he buried the eldest lady who was pregnant with Liujia alive, and the eldest lady in the coffin struggled desperately, so that the coffin was a groove drawn by a fingernail.

Some people also say that the coffin is not buried in the eldest lady, it is a jealous little wife who competes with the original partner, the original partner has not given birth to a child for a long time, and the little wife is pregnant with Liujia, and the master has a successor, afraid that he will fall out of favor, so he will be born from the side of the gall, and ordered someone to bury the little wife alive.

What's even more evil is that the skin of the corpse is all good, except for a big hole in the stomach.

Some people deduce that after the eldest lady (little wife) was buried alive, the child in the womb broke out of the abdomen, and in the coffin that did not see the light of day, he collected the aura of heaven and earth, collected the essence of the sun and the moon, and I don't know how many years of cultivation, and finally became a powerful ghost...... Ah Chong's arm was grabbed by this ghost. The fool was also sucked by the ghost...... Hey, it's scary to think about, that ghost might be sucking people's souls everywhere......

Most of the villagers in the mountain village are idle and have nothing to do, and give full play to their imagination for all kinds of gossip, you and I say a word, under the creation of group wisdom, this story has been constantly enriched, and the plot has been gradually improved, and the "playground bizarre coffin" incident has been continuously processed and recreated in everyone's word of mouth. A wave of panic spread among the villagers, and no one mentioned Ah Chong's background.

These are all later words.

If the imagination and speculation of the villagers were removed, then the matter would be much simpler.

Commissioner Zhang motioned to his entourage to take a few photos of the inside and outside of the coffin, and then picked up a few pieces of things and put them in small bottles. Tell the old village chief to set up firewood and burn the remaining things, there may be some bacteria in these green waters, and people and animals will cause plague if they are infected.

The old village chief instructed people to do so, and at the same time pulled Commissioner Zhang's sleeve and said, You have to give us an explanation! Did that kid hit the devil? When will the relief money be distributed?

Commissioner Zhang said that it was not a big deal, it was an old coffin, there was an old corpse in it, the tomb collapsed in the rain, the child accidentally stepped on the coffin, and then his hand was stuck in the coffin, and it was estimated that the skin was broken and infected by the sewage in it.

The old village chief said that his stupid uncle was ...... Commissioner Zhang analyzed that it was estimated that he picked up something like a wild cat or a wild dog, and he was frightened and scratched the fool, and the fool may have some congenital disease, and he couldn't stand such a start, so he went all at once.

The old village chief was quite satisfied with Commissioner Zhang's explanation, and immediately found a few articulate villagers to convey Commissioner Zhang's meaning down to the next level. As for the extent to which the villagers can communicate, it is beyond human control.

Next, the old village chief is going to invite guests to dinner, to express the friendship of the landlord, Commissioner Zhang excused himself, the old gentleman does not have to be polite, it is my job to solve the doubts and doubts of the villagers, and now that the matter has been resolved, I should also go back.

After that, he didn't say anything to everyone, and hurriedly returned to the county seat, where it was said that someone from above was going to transfer him to the provincial capital.

When Commissioner Zhang was leaving, he said that Ah Chong's illness needed to be cured in the provincial capital, and he should be taken away.

Ah Chong has been in a mess these days, although his condition has not deteriorated, but it has not improved. After Uncle Fool died, he had no relatives in the village, and no one stopped him when someone took him away, only Ziyang's parents were a little reluctant. But thinking that Commissioner Zhang was also for Ah Chong's good, he had to pack a few sets of clothes for him and send them all the way to the entrance of the village.

Zi Yang was picking herbs for Ah Chong outside, and when he came back, he heard that Ah Chong was sent away, and he cried loudly, no one persuaded him, and chased him barefoot and cried and shouted for a long time, and finally Zi Yang's father drove him back by bicycle.

Later, the adults persuaded him that this was also for Ah Chong's good, and Commissioner Zhang said to treat him and let him go to a good school. It's better than our small mountain village, and many people don't have a chance to send their children out!

Despite saying that, Ziyang was still sullen for a summer, and when no one was around, he often squatted alone in a daze where he played with Ah Chong.
