Chapter XXVII
At that time, Fang Zhongshao was careless, how could he have thought that at this moment, under the puddle, there was a corpse that had been dead for many years, and that rag was the clothes on the deceased's body, probably buried in the ground all year round, in a vacuum, so the clothes were still intact. After being dug out by them, water soon came out, and the clothes did not come into contact with the air, and they would not volatilize for a while, but when Fang Zhong showed the rag to the others, the cloth suddenly turned into a ball of powder.
When had they ever encountered such a strange thing, they were all curious to see what was under this puddle! So everyone worked together to dig, and finally, after some tossing, the pit was dug deeper and deeper, and the surrounding soil had been dug up, leaving only the hard object in the middle that could not be dug up. The men bent down and lifted the hard object up, and when they saw it, it was rectangular and covered with a thick layer of dirt, and some rags peeked out of the dirt, and after a short time the rags were powdered again.
The men set up the rectangular object in the pit, shoveled the dirt off the surface, and finally saw what was beneath the dirt. After several people saw it clearly, they were all shocked, couldn't help but gasp, hurriedly climbed out, and ran home lifelessly.
Due to Fang Zhong's short stature, he couldn't climb out of the pit for a while, he was frightened, and his thin body was trembling against the pit.
It turned out that what they dug up was a corpse that had been buried in the ground for an unknown number of years, and after the corpse was dug up, the clothes on his body quickly turned into powder, and only then did they see his original appearance clearly. It was a five-black corpse, the flesh of the body was tightly clinging to the bones, as if wearing a tight coat, and strangely, the corpse had obviously been buried in the ground for many years, but it was not decomposing, it only looked a little dehydrated. Fang Zhong even saw his eye sockets clearly, there seemed to be eyeballs in the black hole hole sockets, a row of yellowed teeth exposed to the air, and it looked like people's hairs stood on end in broad daylight!
Fang Zhong struggled to escape from this pit, but after a long time, he found that he couldn't climb out at all! He was frightened and twisted his head to the side, not daring to look at the corpse. Soaking in the cold groundwater was no fun thing, and soon Fang Zhong felt some cramps in his legs, so he had to squat down and put his head out of the water to breathe. At this moment, the groundwater was still gushing outward, Fang Zhong and the corpse were only three meters away, the corpse was driven by the water flow from time to time, leaning on Fang Zhong, his legs were weak in fright, and he couldn't scream if he wanted to scream.
After a long time like this, Fang Zhong gradually calmed down, he was not so scared, thinking to himself wasn't it just a corpse that had been dead for a long time, how normal it was for dead people to die in that era! When he was very young, he saw the corpse of a dead child in a ravine, which was even more terrifying than the corpse in front of him, when most people were poor and did not have enough food to feed their children, and some people had too many children to feed them, so there were newborns, either give them away, or throw them into the ravine, and set them on fire.
After about two hours, the groundwater became more and more, and soon Fang Zhong's body was already floating with the water. He could barely grasp the dirt at the edge of the pit, and when he was sure he could crawl out, he dug five fingers into the dirt at the edge of the hole, pushed up with all his might, and grabbed a handful of weeds. At this moment, this life-saving straw made Fang Zhong feel a little relieved, he was about to turn over, but suddenly he felt his calves tighten, his body sank, and half of his body that climbed out almost slipped into the pit again.
He looked down and saw that the corpse that had been floating on the water was gone, and judging by the sensation coming from his calf, he seemed to be being dragged down by something at the moment. Suddenly, a chill swept through his body, Fang Zhong shivered, and crawled out of the puddle with all his strength.
As soon as he got out of the puddle, Fang Zhong ran in the direction of the village, he looked back from time to time to make sure there was nothing abnormal, and then slowed down. When he was about to run back to the entrance of the village, he saw several people coming from a distance with ropes and shovels in their hands, and they stopped Fang Zhong and asked him to lead the way to fish out the corpse. It turned out that a few middle-aged men who had just run back had informed the other villagers, but several of them were frightened and did not dare to come.
Fang Zhong hesitated for a while, and finally reluctantly took everyone back again. When they came to the waterhole to salvage it, they didn't find the corpse, and at this moment, not only those villagers were surprised, but even Fang Zhong felt an inexplicable panic. He always felt that his heart was very blocked, as if something bad was about to happen!
After going back, Fang Zhong received a steamed bun in the production team and returned to his simple nest. Curled up in the grass, the more Fang Zhong thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was really incredible, why was the corpse gone, could it be that he ran away by himself?
Thinking of this, Fang Zhong couldn't help but shudder, he remembered the sensation in his legs when he climbed out of the puddle, so he hurriedly picked up his trousers and checked them. Through the dim moonlight, Fang Zhong clearly saw that his left leg was black in a circle, and he felt particularly painful when he pressed it lightly with his hand.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "You mean, your leg was grabbed by the corpse that was dug up?" He wants to drag you down to be buried with him? That pit you dug is a corpse farm, and that corpse was dug up and caught? ”
Master didn't interrupt my questioning, Fang Zhong's wife Wu Xinyi didn't seem to have heard Fang Zhong talk about this, and was listening attentively, when I suddenly interrupted, she sat up straight and added a cup of hot tea to Master and me.
Fang Zhong paused for a moment and said, "That's right, I guess he might just want to drag me into the water, but fortunately, my life is big, but I just got sick." The people who were digging the pit with me died violently at home a few days after they returned, and they all died strangely, as if the water in their bodies had been drained, and only a layer of skin remained! ”
Master looked at Fang Zhong and didn't speak, I guessed that Master probably wanted to hear him finish before making a speech, so I didn't ask any more questions, I smiled politely and let Fang Zhong continue.
Fang Zhong drank the tea in the cup in one go, cleared his throat and continued to speak.
Everyone stirred up the puddle with shovels for a long time, but no body was found. Later, a few more people went down, and they felt under the water for a long time, but they said nothing, so everyone had to go home with their tools.
The next day, the big men who were digging the pit with Fang Zhong did not go to the production brigade to report, so the villagers went to their houses to call people, and soon news came that several of them died in the house.
