Chapter 69: Strange Graves
It's really hard for me to know what terrible things will happen next, and what will happen without my grandfather if we repeat the bloody storm of 10 years ago?
Miao Xiaoyu didn't go out in the house all day, and she didn't eat lunch or dinner, the more I looked, the more worried I felt, and she didn't open the door when I knocked on it. I was worried that she might not be able to think about it herself, so every once in a while I would stand at her door and chat with her casually, and she would always reply with a match, and it was distressing to listen to her voice.
The villagers said that Miao Xiaoyu was a ghost, couldn't they think about it with their brains, if she was really a ghost, how could she go to school to teach the children in broad daylight?
Ghosts are all aggregates of yin energy, and the sun is yang to the strong, and no matter what yin things can resist, these things are known to rural people.
But the villagers would rather believe the rumors than believe in Miao Xiaoyu's innocence.
Sleepless all night, I was wondering if Miao Xiaoyu would leave our village early tomorrow morning, if she really left, I was really reluctant.
However, from her point of view, if I were her, I would definitely leave. Leaving Yangjiazhuang, at least you don't have to face the gossip of these villagers, under such pressure, a volunteer teaching job is actually very meager.
However, in the morning, Miao Xiaoyu got up and washed as usual, and she did not pack her luggage and leave. This is reassuring, but at the same time I am worried that the villagers' stories will only get more and more terrible.
Miao Xiaoyu was about to go to class, but I stopped her, and I said, "Teacher Miao, don't go to school for the time being, you take a break first, and wait for this time......" I don't want her to be hit by hearing that kind of gossip again.
"But what about the children?" Miao Xiaoyu frowned slightly and asked.
"No problem, leave all your classes to me!" I saw that her eyes were very red, and she must not have slept much last night, it really hurt her.
She just nodded silently, and then went back to her room.
When I went back in the evening, I talked to my father for a while, I mentioned Li Qing's matter, my father nodded slightly, he actually agreed with my guess, and he had long been suspicious of Li Qing. However, Li Qing does things well, just like Li Aiguo back then, he is a very good person in front of the villagers.
Wang Gen's gang is easy to deal with, because they are gangsters, and the villagers don't want to see them, but Li Qing is different, he has already laid a certain mass foundation for himself.
There was an interval of one day, and on the morning of the third day, Zhu Danian came again in a panic, and he knew that something must have happened again by looking at her expression.
"Mingyi, there's an accident over there in the bamboo forest again!" Zhu Danian said, sure enough.
"Something happened again, who is it this time?" My dad grabbed Zhu Danian and asked.
"It's still a member of the Wang family, and he's also a gangster, it's the one who always followed Wang Gen before, called Wang San, he is also dead, just like Wang Gen's death the day before, he is also on the bamboo forest, he is scary!" Zhu Danian's face was very ugly.
There have been accidents in the village one after another, and he, as the village chief, is also heartbroken. In fact, the Wang family is quite far away from the deserted grave, and in the past, it was because someone approached the deserted grave in the middle of the night, so they were entangled in the dirty things in the deserted grave and suffered. However, at such a distance, what did Wang Gen and Wang San do when they went to the deserted grave on the other side of the bamboo forest in the middle of the night?
I glanced at my father, he was deep in thought, I could guess that the old man was doubting Li Qing, could this be Li Qing's doing?
When I went to the bamboo forest, it was exactly the same, but this time, Wang San's situation seemed to be even more terrible, he didn't wear anything, he was lying on the grave of Mrs. Yang's grave, and the thing below was gone.
Dad is still the same as yesterday, he used to touch the soul vein, and after this time Dad touched it, Dad just sighed, and he said: "He, like Wang Gen, his soul is long gone!" ”
Wang Tianfa knelt down directly at my father, he was the head of the Wang family, and Wang San was also his own grandson, and he knelt down to my father with gray hair, which looked really sad.
"Ah...... No, Yang Shenxian, Yang Shenxian, please save my grandson! Wang Tianfa burst into tears, Wang San's father died ten years ago.
"It's really not that I don't want to save, you and I have grievances, but those grievances are not for the sake of life and death, Uncle Tianfa, you get up, it's still the same sentence, the soul is gone, even if my father is still alive, I can't save it, I'm really sorry......" My dad looked apologetic, he was right, grandpa said in the past, a simple loss of soul, broken soul can be saved, but there is no soul can not be saved at all.
The Wang family went to find a mat and clothes to roll up Wang San, and their family had to hold two funerals for three consecutive days, and their faces were very ugly. Some of them were staring at me, I don't know what they meant, but I could see the resentment in their eyes.
There are fewer and fewer people, Zhu Danian came to my father's side and said: "Mingyi, this matter must continue forever, my village may be ......"
At this time, my father looked down at the lonely graves around him, and he said, "Dig the grave!" ”
Daddy's words startled Zhu Danian, and I was quite surprised, Zhu Danian immediately asked: "Mingyi, have you thought about it, I heard Fan Wa's grandfather say, this tomb is that...... Mrs. Yang's grave, this ...... Can you dig it? ”
"If you can dig it, if you don't dig a grave, there will be dead people in Yangjiazhuang if you go on like this!" Dad said, after he finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the bamboo forest, Zhu Danian and a few of them saw that my father was gone, and no one dared to stay here in the lonely grave, so they immediately followed.
After that, Zhu Danian went to the village to find more than a dozen strong laborers, and I followed my father home to get some things, or the yellow satchel embroidered with the yin and yang gossip diagram that my grandfather used to use, and the other yellow satchel I carried, and inside was the kind of apricot yellow flag, which was the kind that my grandfather used next to the spring pool.
When my father and I arrived, Zhu Danian and his people were waiting outside the bamboo forest.
Seeing my dad coming, they followed my dad into the bamboo forest. In broad daylight, the light in the bamboo forest is not very good, and there is constantly a cold wind sweeping the neck, which makes people get goosebumps.
The old man pinched his fingers, held a compass in his hand, and after looking around the grave, he drew eight dots on the periphery of the grave, each with a small apricot yellow flag.
After doing this, my father took out a dozen yellow charms from his shoulder bag, found sixty-four bamboos in the bamboo forest, distributed the yellow charms to everyone, and pasted them one by one according to the location determined by my father.
It took a lot of time just for this link, and Daddy looked up at the sky. I also looked over and found that the sun between the bamboo leaves was almost in the middle of the day, and it was almost noon.
"It's time to go!" My dad said.
"Is that all right?" Zhu Danian was still a little worried.
Daddy just nodded, his expression not relaxed. Even my father himself said that he had only learned less than 20% of his grandfather's secret notes, and now he has to deal with things in such an old desolate grave, and he really can't be relaxed. After all, he's my father, not my grandfather.
"Mingyi, where do we start?" Zhu Danian asked, in fact, everyone present was not easy, if it weren't for the village chief's face, it is estimated that no one would come. After all, there have been so many evil things going on in this place, and there were dead people here this morning and the day before yesterday.
"Don't move the tomb in the middle, the seven graves around it, everyone separates and digs at the same time. Later, if you find a coffin board or something, stop first! The villagers who said this looked at each other, and his pre-war mobilization was indeed a little scary.
Seeing that everyone was not moving, Dad immediately added: "Don't worry, everyone, these talismans around are left by my father, and you all know what he has done for the village in the past." ”
With this sentence, it was simply a shot in the arm, Zhu Danian took it, and the villagers immediately began to do it, and my father and I joined in.
In fact, digging a grave in the bamboo forest is more difficult than expected, and the bottom is full of bamboo roots, and in some places digging a hole, even a shovel cannot be pulled out.
It was almost two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and the other six deserted graves around were dug deep pits. The people who dug up the coffin board didn't dare to dig any further, so Daddy told them to stop.
And I, my father, and Zhu Danian were in charge of the deserted grave, which was closest to the main grave in the middle, and the pit dug was deeper than the other six pits, but it never touched the coffin board.
Zhu Danian said: "Mingyi, will this tomb be empty?" ”
My dad shook his head and said, "It can't be empty, keep digging!" ”
The other people were energetic just now, and they didn't see anything when they dug up the coffin board, and they were bolder. They all came over, several waves of people took turns digging, and when my father and I were resting, Zhu Danian took two people to dig and suddenly shouted: "Mingyi, there seems to be water down there!" ”
My dad was stunned, and he stood up.
Zhu Danian squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil, looked at it carefully, and then sniffed it again. However, when he heard this, his face changed greatly, and he cursed, and ran out of the pit with a rolling belt.
The other two villagers didn't know what was going on, and they climbed up from the pit with a rolling belt.
