Chapter 097: Murder in the Grave

After communicating with the grassroots police force, we were a little relieved that if something happened, they would come immediately after a phone call. We rested in our room until late evening, and as the sun was about to go down, we heard a frolic downstairs.

After a while, someone knocked on the door, it was Sun Xiang, and he brought us several clothes and pants, which were very thick. Sun Xiang told us to be careful and put on these clothes before we went. Sun Xiang thought very thoughtfully, these clothes, especially the pants, were very thick, even if they were attacked by snakes, they would not be able to bite through.

Jiang Jun said at first that he didn't need it, but Sun Xiang forced his clothes to Jiang Jun, saying that we don't know how powerful those unjust souls in the mass grave are, and after finishing speaking, he laughed faintly, it was almost dark, there was no light in the house, and the candles in the house had not been lit yet. Sun Xiang's face was pale, and the laughter made people feel inexplicably frightened.

In the end, at my request, the three of us still put on the clothes that Sun Xiang gave us. These clothes were borrowed by Sun Xiang from the villagers, they did not fit, the clothes were too thick, and we had just put them on for less than a minute, and the sweat on our bodies came out again. Sun Xiang beckoned us downstairs.

When I came down, I realized what was going on with the hustle and bustle downstairs. Sun Xiang set up a platform outside the door, and the platform was full of incense altars, and he was doing the Dharma. After calling us down, Sun Xiang pointed to the noodles in the pot and asked us to eat something.

We all refused, we always felt that Sun Xiang was very strange, so we didn't dare to eat his things, we brought some dry food in our bags, and we had already padded our stomachs before coming down. Sun Xiang didn't force us, picked up the peachwood sword on the table and limped outside.

The villagers all gathered around the platform set up by Sun Xiang, and Sun Xiang stood in front of the stage dancing with a peachwood sword, he was very serious, and his mouth was still chanting. Qian Er also stood in the crowd, due to the crowding, several children were pushed to the ground, Qian Er quickly helped them up, and also dredged the crowd well, and helped the old man and children to a place with fewer people.

Jiang Jun said that in this way, Qian Er is not so annoying.

The three of us sat in the room, observing Sun Xiang's every move, his behavior was just pretending in our eyes, and Jiang Jun became more and more uncomfortable, and finally simply closed his eyes.

The night was relatively shady, and we wore thick clothes and pants, and we didn't feel too uncomfortable, but the smell of burning incense all over the house made us very uncomfortable. Xu Yi rested her head on my shoulder, and she also joked that if others knew that Professor Li was catching snakes for a group of superstitious people, she would definitely laugh off her big teeth.

I was also a little helpless, but now I just want to calm the emotions of these villagers, and then ask Sun Xiang what we want to know, and leave the village as soon as possible. The atmosphere of this village is very strange, from the moment I stepped here, I had a very bad premonition, but it was Xu Yi, this time she was calmer than me.

Xu Yi suddenly became serious, she asked me not to worry about her all the time, she asked me to think more about myself, she would follow me firmly and not be a burden to me. I was about to answer her when Sun Xiang called us and said it was time for us to go. By the flickering candlelight, I looked at my watch, and before I knew it, it was eleven o'clock in the evening.

Sun Xiang walked to the corner of the room, and we found that there was a jar of medicinal wine, the jar was transparent, and it was full of unknown herbs. Sun Xiang took a few bowls and poured out the burgundy medicinal wine. Sun Xiang greeted the three of us and Qian Er, who was waiting outside.

Sun Xiang said that this medicinal wine will ward off evil spirits, let us drink a little, the three of us refused, and Qian Er and Sun Xiang drank a big bowl by themselves. The smell of medicinal wine was very strong, mixed with the smell of burning, and we were a little out of breath. When he sent us out, Sun Xiang was worried about us and still wanted to go with us.

But he was persuaded by the villagers, and seeing his two miserable legs, we also told him to stay at home and wait.

Under the eyes of the villagers, we set off from Sun Xiang's house. The night covered the whole village again, and we walked a long way, and we could still hear the sound of Sun Xiang doing things at home behind us. Qian Er walked in a hurry, the terrain of the village, he was much more familiar than us, and we almost couldn't keep up with his footsteps several times.

We all had flashlights in our hands, and Qian Er was also wearing very thick clothes, and he was carrying a sack in his hand, which Sun Xiang gave him before leaving, saying that it was a tool for catching snakes. We walked around the brick houses and came to the back of the village, which was a grove.

The trees in the woods were dense, the ground was overgrown with weeds, and when the evening breeze blew, the sound of rustling came to our ears again. Jiang Jun pointed to the secluded forest and asked Qian Er if he wanted to go through, Qian Er didn't answer, and asked Jiang Jun with a mocking if he was afraid, and after asking, he walked in.

The grass in the forest was as tall as our calves, and Qian Er became cautious after walking in. He took out two yellow talismans from the bag and handed them to us, and when he saw that we didn't want them, he stuck them all on his body. He looked around nervously, and every movement made him shiver.

The three of us were also worried, but what we were afraid of was different from Qian Er, we kept shining a flashlight under our feet, according to the villagers, there are a lot of snakes in this village, although we wear very thick pants, but the snake animals still make us dare not take it lightly.

The forest was not very large, and we could see it with a flashlight, but we walked slowly, and it took us several minutes to get out of the forest. In the overgrown section, we didn't even dare to step steadily, but after leaving the forest, our speed slowed down.

Under the leadership of Qian Er, we finally came to the mass grave in the mouth of the villagers. Strangely, the beam of our flashlight slowly weakened, and by the time we got to the mass grave, only the flashlight in the money was still glowing slightly. Qian Er's breathing became more and more cramped, and he said that the flashlight must have rushed the unjust soul inside.

There are many small raised dirt slopes in the mass graves, and there are many small wooden signs standing in front of the soil slopes, and if you look closely, there are no names on the wooden signs. At a glance, there are dozens of small dirt slopes in this place, and you don't need to think about it to know that the people who fell asleep under these small dirt slopes were the people who died unjustly in that era.

Qian Er told us that these dirt slopes existed when he was a child, and at that time adults did not allow children to come here to play, but many children were still disobedient and ran here. During the day, it was fine, and the adults only beat the child severely when they found out, but once, a child disappeared in the woods, and since then, no one has dared to come here.

"In that era, how many people were unjustly killed......" Looking around, all of them were mass graves, Jiang Jun said in a daze.

When Jiang Jun said this, the flashlight in Qian Jun's second-hand also dimmed.

"Oops, noos, no!" Qian Er screamed nervously, looked around, and his whole body trembled.

"Alright, catch a snake and go back." I urged, we were only here to catch a snake and go back to deal with the people in the village.

Qian Er trembled his hands and took out several pairs of cotton gloves from the bag for us to put on. There were a lot of things in the sack, and after putting on the gloves, Qian Er took out a few long pliers from it, and he handed them to us, telling us to be careful when catching snakes, and said that these snakes were full of negativity, and they were all turned into unjust souls, and they were not so easy to deal with.

Jiang Jun laughed secretly and muttered that we just killed one last night, of course, Qian Er couldn't hear this sentence, because he had already had the courage to go forward, and he asked us to wait for a while, and then go in when he called us. Qian Er was nervous, so in order not to waste time, we listened to him.

After a while, Qian Er called us, and we immediately followed, and after a few seconds of searching, we found Qian Er's figure behind a small dirt slope. There were no snakes in sight on the periphery of the mass grave, but when we walked to the center of the mass grave, we were all stunned.

In the moonlight, a dozen slender snakes crawled on the ground.

"There's still there." Xu Yi pointed to a place and exclaimed.

Sure enough, where Xu Yi pointed, there were more snakes. Later, we found several more places where there were snakes, and they were all entangled.
