My name is Tianci Li, and I'm eighteen years old this year. I've been relying on my grandfather since I was young. I've never been brave since I was young. I'm the kind of honest child. However, on my eighteenth birthday, I did something bold. Digging graves! Instead of moving the graves, they were secretly digging the graves. At first, I rejected this kind of shady business, but in the end, I couldn't resist the temptation of money. This matter had to start from a few days ago. After the college entrance examination, I returned to the village from the town. I wanted to take advantage of the two months of summer vacation to go out and do a part-time job to supplement my family's expenses. However, someone came to my door. The person who came to look for me was my good friend, Li Hu. His academic performance was not good. After graduating from junior high school, he did not go to school and went out to make a living. He only returned home during the holidays. This time, for some unknown reason, he actually returned at this time. When good brothers meet, they naturally have endless things to talk about. After chatting for a while, Li Hu mysteriously said that he had a plan to make a fortune and asked me if I dared to do it. It's not easy to earn money these days. My family's financial situation is not very good. My source of income is the shroud shop that my grandfather opened in town. The expenses of university must be quite high. I want to lighten Grandpa's burden a little. I asked Li Hu what was going on, and he told me to wait for him at the village entrance three days later. After that day, at around ten o'clock in the evening, Grandpa had already fallen asleep. I sneaked out of the house and came to the village entrance. Li Hu was already smoking and waiting for me. When he saw me, Li Hu put out the cigarette in his hand and left the village with me. They walked all the way east and soon arrived at the foot of a small mountain. This small mountain is called Miao Mountain by the locals. In fact, it is a big hill with an altitude of only 100 meters. Very few people came to this place because this mountain was a circle of tombs. The ancestors of the people from the surrounding villages were buried here. There were hundreds of tombs here. This place was gloomy in the daytime, let alone at night. I asked Li Hu what he wanted to do with a trembling voice. He took out a big bag from a pile of grass and carried it on his back. Then, he handed me a small shovel. When I heard that he was going to dig a grave, my first reaction was to turn around and leave. "100,000!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Li Hu said directly,"Tianci, don't say that your brother doesn't take care of you. Our brotherhood is still there. After helping your brother, I'll give you 100,000 yuan as a reward. Earning 100,000 yuan in one night, where else could he find such a good thing?”I stopped in my tracks and turned around to look at Li Hu, feeling conflicted. 100,000 yuan is an astronomical figure to me. I can at least guarantee my expenses for four years of university. I didn't hesitate for too long. This money was too tempting for me. I took the shovel from Li Hu's hand and asked him what he wanted to do. He shook his head and said that he couldn't tell me too much. I just had to do as he said. I followed him up the mountain. There were tombs around me. It was late at night, and the air was gloomy. My heart was beating fast.
Not long after, we crossed the mountain and arrived at the back mountain. I followed Li Hu and stopped beside a new grave at the back of the mountain. There was no tombstone on this new grave. It was just a small earth grave with a large stone on top of it. This small earth grave belongs to our village. It's the grave of Lame Li's wife at the east end of the village. I heard that she died during childbirth a few days ago. There was no proper funeral, so she was buried here. Li Hu wanted to dig up her grave? Why? I glanced at Li Hu and found that his expression was a little strange. He seemed a little nervous and a little excited. Even though we were childhood friends, we rarely met each other in the past few years when he was out adventuring. I feel like he's a little different from before. Li Hu took out three sticks of incense from his backpack, lit them, and stuck them in front of the grave. "Tianci, be gentler when you shovel later!”Li Hu's expression was solemn as he whispered to me,"If you see anything strange, don't shout. You must remember!”When he said that, my heart trembled a little. I had the urge to throw away the shovel in my hand and turn around to go home. However, thinking about the 100,000 yuan reward, I held back. Li Hu and I dug the grave with a small shovel. As a result, it took more than half an hour to dig up the small tomb. When I saw the coffin in the grave, my eyelids twitched a few times. It was a red coffin, as red as blood. There were dozens of red ropes wrapped around the red coffin. They criss-crossed like a huge net that wrapped the coffin. Li Hu jumped into the grave pit and took a deep breath. He took out a dagger from his backpack and cut the red rope on the big red coffin. Then, he took out a small crowbar from his backpack and broke the seven coffin nails on the coffin, opening the coffin lid. A female corpse in a white shroud lay quietly in the coffin. The female corpse's face was ashen, and there were spots of livor mortis on her body. Her turbid eyes were wide open, and her face was ferocious. I don't know if it's my imagination or what, but I felt a cold aura coming from the coffin, making me shiver. Standing in the grave, Li Hu's face was a little pale, and his legs were trembling. He took out three incense sticks, lit them, and stuck them into the grave. The red ropes crisscrossed like a huge net, wrapping the coffin within. Li Hu jumped into the grave pit and took a deep breath. He took out a dagger from his backpack and cut the red rope on the big red coffin. Then, he took out a small crowbar from his backpack and broke the seven coffin nails on the coffin, opening the coffin lid. A female corpse in a white shroud lay quietly in the coffin. The female corpse's face was ashen, and there were spots of livor mortis on her body. Her turbid eyes were wide open, and her face was ferocious. I don't know if it's my imagination or what, but I felt a cold aura coming from the coffin, making me shiver. Standing in the grave, Li Hu's face was a little pale, and his legs were trembling. He took out three incense sticks, lit them, and stuck them into the grave.
Li Hu knelt beside the coffin and kowtowed. He whispered something that I didn't hear clearly. Then, Li Hu hurriedly took out a foot-long cloth bag from his backpack. He opened the cloth bag and found a dried baby's corpse inside. Li Hu carefully placed the baby's body into the coffin and placed it in the arms of the female corpse. Then, Li Hu took a step back and stared at the coffin as if he was expecting something. Suddenly, the female corpse in the coffin moved. Her hands covered in livor mortis tightly hugged the dry baby's body in her arms. A satisfied smile appeared on her ferocious face, which was extremely strange. After seeing this scene, my scalp instantly went numb and I almost screamed. However, I still remembered what Li Hu had said earlier. I covered my mouth and widened my eyes as I looked at the scene in the coffin with fear. Seeing the female corpse like this, Li Hu's face revealed a look of ecstasy. He hurriedly grabbed the three incense sticks stuck in the grave and carefully placed them on the female corpse's chin. Li Hu took out a small bottle with his other hand and placed it next to the female corpse's chin nervously. I don't know if I'm seeing things, but I saw that the female corpse actually stretched her neck forward very cooperatively. Under the smoke of the three incense sticks, a black mist appeared on the female corpse's face. The livor mortis on her face began to spread, and her entire face seemed to be twisted. She opened her mouth slightly, and a faint yellow liquid flowed out from the corner of her mouth. Moreover, her smoked chin began to emit a faint yellow liquid that was somewhat disgusting. Li Hu excitedly moved the small bottle toward the female corpse's chin and carefully caught the light yellow liquid. The liquid was sticky. By the time the three incense sticks in Li Hu's hand had burned out, the small bottle was already half full. The female corpse's originally swollen face had now become like skin and bones. The black qi on her face was very thick, making her look even more ferocious. Li Hu carefully put away the bottle and kowtowed to the female corpse a few more times before closing the coffin lid. At this moment, a black shadow flashed and appeared on the red coffin lid. A black cat! I don't know where this black cat came from, but it looked at me and Li Hu with its maroon eyes. That gaze made me feel cold, as if I had fallen into an ice cellar. On our side, we all think that things like black cats and black crows are very unlucky, especially when someone's family has died. We absolutely don't allow such things to approach. The sudden appearance of this black cat made Li Hu and my expressions turn ugly. Li Hu's expression darkened as he waved the shovel in his hand, wanting to chase the black cat away. However, the black cat directly jumped into the big red coffin.
For some reason, Li Hu was stunned by this scene. His expression was unsightly, and his eyes seemed to be filled with fear. Immediately after, this fellow did not chase the black cat out of the coffin. Instead, he hurriedly closed the coffin. After doing all this, Li Hu climbed out of the grave with a pale face and hurriedly told me to fill it up. I had some doubts in my heart, but when I saw Li Hu's pale and anxious appearance, I felt a little uneasy. I hurriedly filled in the grave according to his instructions. After the second half of the night, the small grave was filled up. Li Hu pulled me and left Miao Mountain in a hurry. On the way back to the village, Li Hu's face was gloomy and he did not say a word. When we were about to reach the entrance of the village, Li Hu stopped and took a deep breath. He looked at me and said,"Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight. Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble!”Even if he didn't say that, I wouldn't be so stupid as to tell everyone that we went to dig graves in the middle of the night. I nodded gently. Li Hu took out a check from his pocket and handed it to me."You can exchange this check at the town bank tomorrow. It's a hundred thousand yuan. It's not a blank check.”I took the check from his hand and looked at the string of Arabic numbers on it. My little heart trembled a few times. " That…" Li Hu seemed to be conflicted. He looked at me and sighed."Tianci, tell your grandfather to move quickly! Don't stay in this village anymore. Go rent a house in town!”"Hmm?" I was stunned for a moment. I looked at Li Hu, not understanding what he meant by this. Li Hu's eyes flickered as he vaguely said,""Just remember what I said. Move as soon as possible!”After saying this, without waiting for my response, he urged me to hurry home. With all kinds of questions, I parted ways with Li Hu after returning to the village. I sneaked back home and quietly returned to my room without disturbing my sleeping grandfather. Lying on the bed, I couldn't fall asleep no matter what. Tonight's events had given me too much of a shock. Whether it was Li Hu roasting the female corpse's chin with incense or the black cat that appeared at the end, they were all deeply engraved in my mind. Li Hu must have been prepared for this. The question was, what did he want to do? What was that dried baby corpse? All kinds of questions rose in his head. He did not dare to close his eyes. Once he did, he would think of the female corpse's ferocious face and turbid eyes. Just like that, I lay in bed until dawn. I was so sleepy that I wanted to die, but I didn't dare to sleep. There was some movement in Grandpa's room. He should have woken up. "Tianci, why didn't you turn off the lights when you were sleeping?”Grandpa pushed open the door to my room. Turn off the lights? How would I dare! He was on tenterhooks the entire night. I quickly got out of bed and forced myself to be alert. I smiled at Grandpa and said,"I woke up early today and was prepared to accompany you to the shop in town. I also went to town to do something!”He had to quickly cash the 100,000 yuan check on him and put the money in his card before he could feel at ease. However, Grandpa blocked my door and didn't let me out. Grandfather's face suddenly turned ugly. He stared at me and said,"Why do you have Corpse Qi on you? "No, that's not right…" Grandpa's pupils constricted, and his expression became even uglier."Where did you go last night? Why are you haunted by resentment?" Since I was young, I had relied on my grandfather for survival. My grandfather had never shown such a strict expression to me like today. For a moment, I was a little stunned. I stammered and didn't dare to tell the truth about what happened last night. At this moment, my courtyard door was pushed open. It was my neighbor who shouted anxiously,"Old Li, something big has happened. Lame Li has gone crazy. Hurry up and take a look!”Was Lame Li crazy? After hearing this, the uneasiness in my heart became even stronger. When I thought of the scene last night, I felt a chill rush to the back of my head. Grandpa left in a hurry, but before he left, he locked me in the room and didn't let me leave the house. I felt uneasy and uneasy. I paced back and forth in my room, feeling more and more anxious. The grave we dug last night belonged to Cripple Li's wife. She was buried a few days ago. I heard that she died of childbirth, but I don't know the details. However, after only one night, something happened to Cripple Li's family. I couldn't help but think of the scene I saw last night. The red coffin, the dozens of red ropes on the coffin, the dried baby's corpse, and the black cat that appeared at the end…
By the way, when I returned to the village last night, Li Hu's expression was ugly as he urged me to leave the village. Could it be…I didn't dare to think about it anymore. My face turned extremely pale and I was terrified. I subconsciously wanted to find Li Hu and ask him what was going on, but the door was locked by Grandpa and there was an iron fence blocking the window. I couldn't get out at all. After waiting anxiously for more than an hour, his grandfather returned. His face was dark and ugly. "Grandpa…" I looked at him and asked carefully,""How's Lame Li's family?" Grandpa looked at me and said with a dark face,"Cripple Li went crazy and killed everyone in his family. When I rushed to his house, he had already committed suicide!”My heart trembled as I subconsciously cried out in alarm. Grandpa narrowed his eyes at me and said in a deep voice,"Cripple Li's family was harmed by someone. Their resentment is very strong, very similar to the resentment on your body. What did you do last night?" Now that things had come to this, I didn't dare to hide anything. With a pale face, I told him everything that happened last night. "Pa ~" I had just finished speaking when Grandpa gave me a hard slap. I was stunned. Grandpa had never hit me since I was young, but this time, he slapped me with full force. The corner of my mouth was broken, and my head was buzzing. Half of my face quickly swelled up. I covered my face and looked at Grandpa in a daze. Grandpa's expression was furious as he roared,"You dare to earn this kind of money? Are you tired of living? Do you know that grave…Damn it, I'll beat you to death!”As soon as I finished speaking, Grandpa started punching and kicking me with a furious expression as if he had gone crazy.
I held my head and ran around, screaming in pain. I didn't know how many punches and kicks I had suffered. After a while, Grandpa stopped beating me. His hands trembled as he took out the tobacco pouch hanging on his waist. He filled it with tobacco leaves and lit it up. He sat in my room with a gloomy expression and started smoking. I didn't dare to make a sound at this time. I rubbed the place on my body that Grandpa had beaten up and grimaced. I didn't have any complaints about being beaten up by grandfather. I just felt a little strange. What was the Corpse Qi and Resentment Qi that Grandpa mentioned earlier? I don't feel anything wrong with me! After a while, Grandpa tapped the ashes in his pipe and said to me with a dark face,"Let's go to Li Hu's house and take a look!" After saying that, Grandpa ignored me and turned to leave. I also had many questions in my heart. I wanted to ask Li Hu face to face, so I hurriedly followed him out. Grandfather didn't say a word along the way. I didn't dare to speak either and followed behind him obediently. When we arrived at Li Hu's house, we found that the door to his house was locked. It was obvious that there was no one at home. His grandfather's expression turned even uglier. He walked to Li Hu's neighbor's house and asked where Li Hu's family had gone. The neighbor said casually,"The family went out before dawn. They left in a hurry. I don't know where they went!"”Grandpa's face was dark and speechless. He turned around and left with me. After returning home, Grandpa locked me in the house again. He only told me not to leave the courtyard no matter what. Then, he left in a hurry without saying anything. For an entire day, his grandfather did not return. He did not know where he had gone. As night fell, I made some food and went back to my room to lie on the bed. I didn't sleep for an entire day and night. Although I was overwhelmed with sleepiness, I didn't dare to close my eyes. There was an inexplicable uneasiness in my heart. When it was past eight o'clock in the evening, the lights in the room suddenly flickered. Then, before I could come back to my senses, the flickering light suddenly went out, and the room was pitch-black. A blackout? In the pitch-black environment, my heart suddenly jumped to my throat. Just as I was about to grope in the dark to find the candle, a sudden change occurred. "Meow ~" A cat's meow came from outside. I subconsciously turned my head to look at the window. Under the faint moonlight, I could clearly see a black cat squatting on the fence outside my window. This black cat was looking at me. Its chestnut-colored eyes had a faint glow. It was exactly the same as the black cat that appeared in the graveyard last night. Why would it appear here? He had clearly sealed it in the big red coffin last night! At this moment, I didn't even dare to breathe loudly. I looked at the black cat outside the window with fear on my face, and a chill rushed to the back of my head. My legs were a little shaky. I touched the wooden stool beside me and gripped it tightly in my hands. I confronted the black cat. My heart was about to jump out of my throat. "Bang bang bang..." At this moment, there was a sudden sound of knocking on the door from outside. The sound was muffled. In this quiet night, such a sound suddenly appeared. I was so scared that I shivered. I subconsciously thought that Grandpa had returned, but then I felt that something was wrong.
My door is locked from the inside. Even if Grandpa comes back, he doesn't have to knock on the door! In a flash, the black cat that was squatting on the fence outside my window disappeared. I don't know where it went. The sound of knocking on the door continued for a long time. I didn't dare to make a sound. I grabbed the wooden stool and trembled all over. I gritted my teeth and didn't dare to make any sound. I originally didn't believe in ghosts, but what happened last night and tonight had shaken the belief that I had held on to for many years. I didn't know what I was afraid of, but my body couldn't help but tremble. After a long time, the sound of knocking on the door disappeared, and my heart that had been on tenterhooks relaxed a little. " Waah…" A baby's cry entered my ears. At first, I thought I was hallucinating, but as the baby's cry became clearer and clearer, I realized that I didn't hear wrongly. That voice came from the window. I hurriedly turned my head to look at the window. When I saw the scene outside, my pupils suddenly constricted. My entire body felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar, and my entire body was cold. Outside the window, a woman was holding a small black baby. She stood there quietly and looked at me through the window. That was…Cripple Li's wife!
She was still wearing a white shroud, gently patting the black baby in her arms. The baby was placed in her coffin by Li Hu last night, and there were some changes. The baby's head had become much bigger, and its eyes were blood-red. It cried non-stop, and two rows of sharp teeth grew out of its mouth. Cripple Li's wife unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her fair chest. The big-headed baby bit her chest, and black blood flowed down from it. From the beginning to the end, Cripple Li's wife had been quietly looking at me. Her eyes were cold and emotionless. After seeing the scene outside the window, my worldview was completely overturned. In the future, if anyone dared to tell me that there were no ghosts in this world, I would definitely slap them without saying anything. Although I'm timid, my mental endurance is not bad. I haven't fainted from fear until now. However, I'd rather faint from fear than be in a state of panic now. What should he do? What should I do? At this moment, I was already at a loss. Other than fear and panic, I had no other thoughts. Time passed bit by bit. Although I was still in fear, I realized that Cripple Li's wife was still standing outside my window, quietly looking at me. I don't know what kind of abilities ghosts have, but the door and windows of my room shouldn't be able to stop her! What was she trying to do? The big-headed baby in her arms is already full
She fell into a deep sleep, and the two rows of deep teeth marks on her chest disappeared as if they had never appeared. Her snow-white chest was exposed, but she didn't care at all. She reached out and grabbed the bars on my window, as if she wanted to pry them open. My heart instantly jumped up again. I gritted my teeth and trembled. Although I was carrying a small wooden stool in my hand, even a fool would know that this thing would definitely not have the slightest effect on ghosts. " Zi zi zi…"" Ah…" At this moment, the female ghost outside the window suddenly let out a shrill scream. Her hand grabbed the fence on my window as if she was grabbing a red-hot iron piece. Her hand was lacerated and emitted faint black smoke. She took a few steps back and her expression instantly became ferocious. Her eyes emitted a vicious light as she stared at me. Although I didn't know why this was happening, I couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. It seemed that she wouldn't be able to enter for a while. Just as this thought rose in my mind, I saw some changes in her charred palm. Her nails grew to more than half a foot long. Those sharp nails emitted a cold light under the weak moonlight, causing people to panic. What was this? Still not giving up? Just as her sharp black claws were about to touch the fence outside my window, my grandfather's shout suddenly came from the courtyard. Following that, I saw my grandfather, who had disappeared for a day, appear not far behind the female ghost. He shook his hand and threw out a large handful of dust-like things that directly enveloped the female ghost.
The female ghost and the big-headed baby immediately let out miserable screams. Black smoke came out of their bodies as if they had been burned by something. Following that, the female ghost carried the big-headed baby and disappeared from the courtyard in an instant. After the female ghost disappeared, the lights in my room also lit up. Then, the door opened and grandpa appeared in front of the door. My tense nerves finally relaxed. I threw away the wooden stool in my hand and sat on the ground, panting heavily with a pale face. What happened tonight was too exciting. My mind is still blank. Grandpa walked into my room and didn't even look at me. He sat at the side and smoked a pipe. His brows were tightly knitted and his expression was very solemn. After I calmed down, I looked at grandfather and wanted to ask him some questions. For example, where had Grandpa been all day? Also, why is that female ghost pestering me? However, seeing Grandpa's gloomy expression, I didn't dare to say anything. After a long time, Grandpa looked at me and said in a deep voice,"We can't stay here anymore. Pack your things and go to the shop in town!”After saying this, Grandpa left my room and went to pack his things. He had no intention of explaining to me at all. I didn't dare to ask any more questions. I hurriedly packed up my things and stuffed a few pieces of clothes into my backpack. I carried my backpack and rushed to Grandpa's room. I saw Grandpa sitting by the bed, holding a square black box in his hands. I don't know what he was thinking.
Grandpa has always cherished this black box like a treasure. He doesn't even let me touch it. I don't know what's inside. " Grandpa…" I couldn't help but feel a little anxious when I saw my grandfather standing there in a daze. Although the female ghost had run away, who knew if she would come back? I don't want to experience such an exciting thing again. Grandpa came back to his senses and rubbed the black box in his hand with a complicated expression. Then, he looked at me and said,"Tianci, you're already 18 years old. I can hand this thing over to you! If you can escape this disaster, grandpa will tell you some things, some things that ordinary people will never know. If he couldn't escape this calamity…he would have to wait until then! Come, put this box away!" As he spoke, he stuffed the black box into my backpack. Then, under my puzzled gaze, he quickly packed up some belongings. "Tianci, some things are more troublesome to explain, so I'll make it short!”Grandpa packed his things and said hurriedly," Cripple Li's wife died of dystocia. Two lives were lost in one corpse. When she was alive, Cripple Li's family didn't treat her very well. After she died, I saw that her resentment was too strong. I was afraid that her soul would return to claim the lives of Cripple Li's family on the seventh day, so I sealed her with a big red coffin, a Soul Suppressing Nail, and a red rope…" Hearing my grandfather's words, my eyes gradually widened, and my little heart beat faster. Previously, I felt that there was something wrong with the coffin in that tomb. I never thought that it was actually arranged by grandfather. When Li Hu and I went to dig the grave, it happened to be the first seven nights after Lame Li's wife was buried.。
