My third uncle and I set off early in the morning and arrived in the village, it was already afternoon.

Eight years have passed, and there has not been much change in the village, except that there are a few more graves in the back hill where people are buried.

After inviting Liu Jie's spirit card to the offering table in the hall and offering incense, I went up the mountain with the third uncle.

The third uncle's mother is also buried in the back mountain, and there is a locust tree growing in the middle of the small grave, like holding a big green umbrella, covering the entire grave.

Seeing this scene, my face was a little ugly.

"Third uncle, why is this locust tree so big?"

The third uncle looked at the locust tree and shook his head: "This, I don't know this?" ”

I frowned, a little hesitant.

The long tree on the grave represents that this place is a good cave, and the feng shui is prosperous, indicating that future generations will be prosperous and prosperous.

However, if the tree is too thick or thorny and completely covers the cemetery, it means that the moisture is heavy and the root system is developed, which may destroy the golden altar (coffin) and be detrimental to future generations.

Plus it's a locust tree.

The locust tree is yin, which is even more unfavorable to the offspring, not only prone to physical problems, but also affects the fortune of the family, and even the heir.

Of course, this is just a feng shui statement.

In my opinion, the heavy dampness means that the third uncle's mother is very likely not to decompose, or even soaked in water vapor and turned into a real floating corpse. In addition, the locust tree is like an umbrella, blocking the sky, and the yin qi gathers, it is very likely that the mother of the third uncle has turned into a fierce spirit.

The floating corpse does not move, and the fierce spirit does not move.

Two taboos were committed at once.

I shook my head and said to the third uncle: "Third uncle, the grave can't be moved, tomorrow at noon, you call a few fiery young people to cut down this locust tree first, remember to break the roots." ”

"And then? Can the grave be moved? ”

I don't understand why the third uncle is so obsessed with moving the grave, and when he heard this, he continued to shake his head and said: "I can't move, the locust tree has accumulated too much yin qi, and there is nothing that can't be dispersed in a year and a half." ”

"But the ground is ready, and the well has been dug, this ......."

"That's not going to work either."

I firmly refuse.

The third uncle wanted to say something, the corners of his mouth moved, and finally he just nodded.

After descending the mountain, I went to meet the elders of the village.

Seeing that at dinnertime, I didn't see the third uncle appear, and I felt a little strange in my heart.

I said on the road that I would go to the third uncle's house for dinner, but there was no movement when it was all over the place, could it be that I didn't move the grave and got angry?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a middle-aged woman in a dark cloth dress hurriedly looking for him.

I also know this person, it is the wife and aunt of the third uncle.

Seeing me, the third aunt shouted from afar: "Xiaolong, Xiaolong, go and see your third uncle." ”

"What's wrong with the third uncle?"

I went out, and when I saw the third aunt clearly, my heart was chuckling.

The third aunt was sweating profusely, and no part of her body was clean, and her hands and clothes were red, as if they were stained with mud mixed with blood.

Hearing my words, the third aunt urged me to leave quickly, and said with a crying voice: "Didn't you ask your third uncle to cut down the tree tomorrow?" Your third uncle saw that it was still early, so he pulled me up the back mountain.

But after a few cuts, the locust tree, the place where the locust tree was cut bleed.

I stopped at the time, but your third uncle was a stubborn cow and cut down the tree by force.

Who knew that as soon as the tree fell, your third uncle would also fall, and no matter how you screamed, you couldn't wake up. ”

"What? The third uncle has helped my grandfather so many times, don't you know what you can and can't do? ”

Hearing the words of the third aunt, my anger suddenly came up.

The third aunt didn't dare to refute, so she could only scold her husband and urge me to hurry up.

ran to the back mountain, and there were already many people around the mountain.

Seeing me, the crowd hurriedly moved out of the way.

Walking through the crowd, I could clearly see that the locust tree growing on the grave of the third uncle's mother had fallen to the side, and the severed position was still oozing out with a blood-like liquid.

The incense candle in front of the grave had not yet been extinguished, but as if it had been suppressed, only the flame the size of a bean remained.

The third uncle was lying on the path next to him, unconscious.

I looked at the third aunt and asked, "Third aunt, besides you and the third uncle, who else has cut down trees?" ”

"No, it's gone, just the two of us, Xiaolong, take a look at your third uncle."

I nodded and stepped forward to check.

Although the third uncle was unconscious, the muscles of his whole body were tense, and his eyes moved rapidly under the closed eyelids.

He took out the silver needle from the tool left by his grandfather and inserted it into the ten fingers of the third uncle, and suddenly the same red liquid as the broken hole of the locust tree seeped out along the silver needle.

I slowly turned the silver needle until the muscles of the third uncle's body relaxed, and then I wiped the sweat on my head and said, "The third uncle is fine, he will be awake when it is dawn." ”

Glancing at the grave, I continued, "Please do me a favor and cover the grave with a black cloth, and do not shine in the moonlight." Then everyone went home, locked the door, and didn't go out tonight, no matter what happened. ”

Although I rarely came back, everyone in the village knew that I had learned the trade of a bone picker from my grandfather, and they took action when they heard about it.

After doing everything, I returned to the hall and placed the third uncle on the door panel that I found temporarily, I looked at the third aunt and said solemnly: "Third aunt, the earth has been moved today, and the yin spirit has been disturbed, so this grave can only be moved."

Early tomorrow morning, when the third uncle wakes up, you will go door to door to find people, and no matter what, you must raise four young people who belong to the dragon and four who belong to the tiger to help move the grave. ”

The third aunt nodded again and again: "Well, I made a note of it, even if I kowtow to beg tomorrow, I will definitely get people together." ”

I hummed softly and said, "Third aunt, go and put incense on the spirit card in the hall, you and the third uncle will stay here tonight, don't leave." ”

The third aunt nodded again, took the lighter and went to incense Liu Jie.

Compared with the third uncle, the third aunt is obviously much more stable.

As the night darkens, the village is exceptionally quiet tonight.

I sat on the recliner in the hall and fell asleep, I don't know how long it took, I only felt my arm shaken violently, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the third aunt looking at me with a frightened face.

"Xiaolong, your third uncle, your third uncle........"

I suddenly came to my senses and looked at the third uncle.

The third uncle, who had improved before, had contracted all over his body, his abdomen was erect, his limbs were twisted, and the whole person was lying on the door panel in a strange posture.

The crooked fingers made the silver needles slide outward, bringing out bits of red liquid, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance.

As my nose flicked, I could smell a faint smell of blood from the strange scent.

"How so?" I looked at the third aunt: "Third aunt, what else have you done besides cutting down trees?" ”

The third aunt was frightened by this scene, and quickly shook her head when she heard the words: "No, no, we didn't do anything except cut down trees." ”

"Then how can there be a smell of blood?"

I frowned, it was not surprising that this strange smell was the unique smell of floating corpses. But the smell of blood mixed in with it represents the corpse.

Everything has gone beyond my plans.

Facing my gaze, the third aunt seemed to think of something, and Nuo Nuo said: "Yes, will it be because of me, I came." ”

"Body-on? Great aunt? I immediately raised my voice: "You can't move the grave when you see red, don't you know?" ”

The third aunt was about to cry: "I, I, I thought it was okay to just cut down the tree." ”

There were several soft sounds, and the silver needle on the third uncle's finger fell to the ground.
