The mountain wind gradually rose, the shadows of the trees were hazy, and the three people stood sideways in front of a small grave, staring at the plum blossom fragrance array in front of the tomb, but the plum blossom fragrance array burned smoothly, and there was no abnormality.

Seeing that there is nothing unusual in the plum blossom incense array, I and Lao Yu put their hearts down, as long as there is no corpse change, otherwise the newborn baby corpse is enough for me and Lao to drink a pot, Jin Suo saw that I and Lao Yu showed a relaxed demeanor, and my heart was also a lot more steady, but I was still a little sad in my heart, the child was born so unexplained and died, and it must not be stopped after death, how could there be such a big hole in the grave?

Lao Yu and I also wondered in our hearts, what was this thing for? Could it really be the beast in the mountains? What kind of animal could squeeze out of this big hole in the earth?

In fact, it is better for this person to be cremated when he dies, and once he is gone, his soul will not be implicated in the underworld. If it is not cremated, it will rot and stink after being buried in the ground for a long time, attracting wild dogs and beasts to steal the corpse. In ancient times, there was a kind of dog that stayed in the cemetery, and when it was hungry, it turned over the flesh of the dead and ate the bones of the dead. Because they often eat dead people, after a long time, their eyes are red, such dogs even demons, ghosts have to be afraid of three points, if they bite a bite, not only will they die of great poison, but also will hurt the soul, after death can not cross the Huangquan Road.

Now there is no such wild dog that specializes in eating dead people, and picking up some leftovers is enough for them to live, not to mention that the coffins of dead people are much thicker than in ancient times, not to mention wild dogs, even elephants may not be able to knock the coffin open, so Lao Jia and I don't think that the corpse will be stolen.

The golden lock thought about all the beasts in the mountains, and finally couldn't think of any animal that would steal such a large earth hole, but it was already half dark at this time, and we had no lighting in our hands, so we had to go home and make plans again.

On the way, Jin Suo kept his head down and was silent, I knew what he was thinking, Jin Suo suspected that the child's body was stolen by the beasts in the mountains, although I and Lao Yu didn't think so, but it was difficult to guarantee what happened, after all, the plum blossom incense array could not detect whether there was a corpse inside, only whether there was a corpse. If you want to know the condition of the grave, you have to dig up the grave tomorrow so that everything can be seen at a glance.

Suddenly, Jin Suo, who was walking in front, stopped, and made a big decision, Jin Suo wanted to open the coffin tomorrow for an autopsy to see if his child's body was still there, and begged me and Lao Qi not to tell the old lady and his daughter-in-law about today's events, for fear that they would worry.

I can understand the mood of the golden lock, when I came back, the golden lock said, according to normal customs, the child who died less than 100 days can not be put in a coffin, just find a place to bury it, or cremate directly, but the middle-aged golden lock really can't bear to let his child corpse in the wilderness, when he thinks of his son, there is not even a place to worship, so he also prepared a coffin for the child, and then buried on the west slope of Xiaomiao Village, that is, buried on the side of the cemetery of Xiaomiao Village.

After listening to Jin Suo's words, Lao Yu pouted and said: "Aren't you fooling around, how can a child who is less than a hundred days old be buried in a coffin, just find a pit and bury it, there will be no trouble." It's a good thing, there's a big hole in the grave, and your son might have turned into dung a long time ago. ”

"Lao Zhi!" I hurriedly scolded Lao Zhi, and then said: "Everything has already happened, don't add fuel to the fire, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak!"

Lao Yu glanced at me with disdain, and muttered: "That's all, I still complained about me, you will know when the coffin is opened tomorrow, hum!" After speaking, he walked in the direction of the village without looking back...

I glanced at the golden lock squatting on the ground, and couldn't help sighing, and comforted after a long time: "Don't think about it, it's normal for a hole to come out of the grave, and didn't you also say that the child's body was buried in a coffin, and even if the earth cave was made by a beast in the mountain, it would not pierce the coffin." Tomorrow dig up the soil on the grave, as long as the coffin inside is okay, the child in the coffin will be fine, and then I and Lao will make a superfluity for the child, so that he can die in bliss as soon as possible. ”

Jin Suo listened to what I said and gave me a grateful look.

In fact, I know that no matter how much exceedance is useless, because the child's soul is gone, no matter how excessive it is, isn't it in vain, but pity the hearts of parents all over the world, in order to make the golden lock feel relieved, I also have to say this, just look at what happens tomorrow.

There was nothing to say all the way, and as Jin Suo returned home, the old lady asked us if we had anything to find, and Jin Suo said that there was nothing to find for the time being, and we had to go up the mountain again tomorrow.

The old lady and the golden lock daughter-in-law didn't think much about it, and then accompanied the old lady to chat for a while and then fell asleep.

The next morning, Jin Suo woke up early and went out. The old lady prepared breakfast, and when she saw me and Lao Yu get up, she gave us a wash of water. After a brief wash, I saw Jin Suo take out a shovel from the barn, put it by the door, and come in to eat with us.

After dinner, the three of them went out again under the guise of going out to find clues, and when they came to the western slope, Jin Suo began to stare at the dirt pit in a daze.

Then he began to dig up, cut and cut it, and in a short time he knocked out the grave soil, revealing the coffin board, and at the same time, a large hole as thick as a bucket appeared on the coffin board, and the golden lock collapsed on the ground when he saw this, and his eyes were dull and he could not say a word.

Lao and I hurriedly stepped forward to check, and looked into the coffin by the light of the sun, where was there any child's body, the coffin was empty, not even a piece of clothing was left, it seems that the old man said that the child's body may really have become a big dung.

Just as I was getting up, Lao Yu suddenly "babbled?", then held the coffin board with one hand, and the other hand went down the hole into the coffin, and then took out a black scale the size of a child's palm.

The old man looked at the scales in his hand curiously for a while and said, "What is this, why does it look a bit like fish scales? Your son can't be eaten by a fish, right?"

I glanced at Lao Zhi, snatched the scales from Lao Zhi's hand, and the tentacles were extremely cold, and then my heart suddenly tightened, and said, "This is not the scale of a fish, it is the scale of a python." ”

"Python, python scales, I'll take a look at it again!" Lao Yu snatched the black scales again, looked up and down, left and right, and said in surprise: "Lie down! It's really his uncle's python scales!"

Seeing that I and Lao Qi had made a discovery, Jin Suo hurriedly got up and ran over, picked up the python scales in Lao Gai's hand and gritted his teeth: "It turned out that this beast stole my child's body, I must catch this beast and avenge my son with a thousand knives!"

With the sound of Jin Suo's ruthlessness, the strength in his hand also increased, and finally the python scales actually cut the palm of Jin Suo's hand, and drop by drop of blood flowed down, Jin Suo ate pain, and the python scales fell to the ground.

But then something happened that made me feel incredible, the blood on the palm of the golden lock fell on the python scales drop by drop, and at the same time, wisps of black gas suddenly appeared on the python scales, entangled in those few drops of blood, and after a while, the blood was sucked up by the black gas.

This sudden situation immediately surprised me and Lao Yu! And the feeling of this black qi seems to be familiar, isn't it the yin qi that is wrapped around the old lady's eyes!

As soon as these words came out, Lao Yu suddenly exclaimed: "What? This black qi is the yin qi that wraps around the old lady's eyes?"

"That's right, this black qi is the yin qi wrapped around the old lady's eyes, I can't be mistaken! The old lady's eyes are very likely to have been blinded by this black python!"

When Jin Suo heard this, he was also surprised, but he didn't expect his mother's blindness to be related to a python, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

looked at the python scales that were still bubbling black on the ground, and then glanced at Lao Qi again and said, "Lao Qi, it seems that this matter is not so simple." ”

The old man pouted his mouth and said: "Simple? Simple is weird! It seems that this python has become a sperm, and the Taoism is not low, I can't figure out that the fox fairy was not enshrined in the small temple at the beginning, it should be this python spirit!"

"There are monsters in our village? No, it can't be! Someone has seen that white fox before, how can it be a black python, this is absolutely impossible!"

Jin Suo's head shook like a rattle, and he didn't want to believe that the small temple was not enshrined in a fox fairy, but a python spirit.

I patted Jin Suo on the shoulder, then frowned and looked around the environment on the western slope and said, "You can't see that the python spirit wants to deceive people, you don't know much about these things, and you can't see the black gas surrounding the python scales, I only ask you a little." ”

Golden Lock stared at me with burning eyes.

I said, "What have you ever heard of such a thick python?" and the black gas emitted from the python scales is the same as the black gas surrounding the eyes of the eldest lady, so I conclude that the eyes of the eldest lady must have been blinded by this black python that has become a sperm. I'm not sure it's the fox fairy you enshrined in the small temple, but I suspect that this black python may have something to do with those dead children!"
