Chapter 9: The Death of the Grave

My father was shocked by the presence of human bones on the dirt slope in the west of the village. At that time, he was young and vigorous, and he was bold, and after asking the location, his father was the first to rush to the dirt slope in the west of the village.

No one expected that under the corner of the soil slope overgrown with weeds, a hole would collapse.

When the teachers and students of the primary school and the villagers heard the news, they all gathered around, and my father squatted at the entrance of the cave, watching with wide eyes. The villagers shouted loudly, and some people asked to call the police immediately.

Father stood up, and after everyone quieted down, my father excitedly told everyone that there may be an ancient tomb in this cave, and the bone that the dog took out is naturally not from today, so don't call the police for the time being, it's better for everyone to dig it up and take a look.

The villagers looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything. After being silent for a while, the village chief of Guimei Village proposed that it would be best for my grandfather to come and see it, but I didn't expect this sentence to provoke my father.

My father was an old high school student at the time, which was a standard village champion in the era when college students were rare. He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he has always been dissatisfied with his grandfather's funeral meal.

My father became emboldened and ordered his students to go to the house to get hoes and shovels, and prepare to dig them up with their own hands. The principal of Guimei Elementary School and several other teachers also persuaded my father, but my father laughed at them for being intellectuals, but they also believed in superstition, and those teachers had to keep silent.

After several children found the tools, although they were eager to try, none of them dared to actually dig the grave.

The father looked at the crowd with disdain, and with a sense of pride, he personally stepped forward and waved the big iron hoe.

After the hole was opened, several more white bones were found, and what was even more surprising was that there was a sarcophagus next to the white bones. Everyone was very curious, and my father, who was young and strong, did not ask for help, and pried open the sarcophagus lid with only simple farm tools.

The father suddenly screamed 'ah', which frightened everyone at the scene, and some of the timid students turned around and ran to the village.

After a deathly silence, the headmaster and the village chief almost unanimously asked their father what he had seen. The father happily told them that there was a female corpse in ancient costume in the sarcophagus, and she actually looked as if she had just been buried.

The people were skeptical, and cautiously stepped forward to investigate. Sure enough, there was a young female corpse lying in the sarcophagus, the female corpse was richly dressed and her face was like life, which amazed everyone.

The old village chief sighed and said, "I don't know whose ancestor this is, let's not disturb the deceased, still cover the coffin, and fill in the grave again!" ”

The old village chief's words won a lot of approval. Everyone is worried that angering the undead will cause disaster.

But his father disagreed, saying that since the ancient tomb had been discovered, and there was a well-preserved female corpse, it was a cultural relic and should be reported to the government.

Everyone shook their heads to stop it, but the father insisted on refusing to close the coffin, and even made a surprising move. He raised a hand and told the crowd aloud that superstition could not be trusted.

In order to reassure everyone, the father slowly put his hand into the coffin. When his fingers were about to touch the face of the female corpse, he suddenly felt a pain in his fingers, and his father screamed all of a sudden.

A shocking scene happened, and the appearance of the female corpse that was still lifelike just now quickly changed dramatically. The clothes on the woman's body had lost their luster and clinged to her like paper ashes.

What's even more terrifying is that the muscles on the female corpse's face collapsed and turned into a terrible rotting corpse. The father's fingers touched the mouth of the female corpse, and the muscles on the mouth slid like rotting scum at the bottom of the coffin, and the two rows of white Sensen's teeth seemed to devour the father.

All the people were terrified, and they quickly pulled away the father, closed the lid of the coffin, and together they filled the grave with earth.

A kind old lady went to the river to scoop a bowl of water, and then went to the house to take out soap and asked my father to scrub his injured hand several times.

The frightened father, seeing that there was only a little red spot on his finger, slowly settled down in his heart.

The villagers have dispersed, and the principal has returned to Guimei Primary School with teachers and students. It was almost noon, and when the students arrived at the school, the principal announced that they would no longer attend classes and that everyone would go home for dinner.

Guimei Elementary School did not have a cafeteria, but because his father was stubborn and refused to take over his grandfather's mantle, after becoming a substitute teacher at Guimei Elementary School, he almost never went home, so he became the only person living in the school.

The principal and his father were discussing this morning's events and whether to call the police when suddenly a middle-aged woman hurriedly broke into the office.

The middle-aged woman was the mother of the child who began to find the human bones, and when she saw that the other children had gone home for dinner, but her own baby had been missing, she rushed to the school to look for it.

The principal asked his father to go to dinner first, and he chatted with the parents of the students to understand the situation. My father came out in response, and when he arrived at the simple cafeteria that the school had set up for him, he couldn't help but scream in fright.

The child who found the bones was now hanging at the door of the simple canteen with a hideous face. And after my father came into contact with the police investigation, he also changed from a cheerful and lively sunny young man to suddenly became melancholy.

Within a few days, my father died, less than three months after he and my mother were married, and I became the so-called widow.

It is said that my father died a terrible death, and the muscles of his whole body decayed little by little. As for the specific situation, none of the people in the know at the time were willing to go into detail with me, and perhaps none of them wanted to recall that terrible experience.

"Is that really the case?" After listening to my narration, the girl's eyes flashed with excitement, and she closed the notebook that she couldn't stop recording.

Seeing that she had already eaten, I did not want to talk to her about my father's accidental death, but simply told her that the meal was free of charge, because I had already sold the farmhouse from tomorrow, and she was my last customer.

The girl smiled embarrassedly and told me frankly that she had been out for some days and that she was running out of money, and thanked me for her hospitality.

She tore off a piece of paper from her notebook, quickly wrote a few words on it, handed it to me, and said softly: "Handsome guy, my name is Shi Mengya, and I will be in your area for a few days." If you think of something else mysterious, there's my phone number on it, can you tell me? ”

"Shi Mengya?" I stared at her pretty face and muttered, "What a nice name!" Miss Shi, my name is Ling Sen, and a few things I have encountered recently are indeed a bit strange, and I will tell you when I take the time to hand over this store to others. ”

Shi Mengya showed an excited look on her face and couldn't stop expressing her gratitude. When I reached for the note in her hand, my fingers inadvertently touched hers.

At that moment, I was amazed. With a big smile on her face, I wondered if I was dazzled by the faint black aura on her face.
