Paper Maker

Chapter 39

I stood in front of the grave and thought that I was teased by this uncle surnamed Zhang last night. I felt angry, and I cursed at the tombstone of the grave, saying that you dare to play tricks on me, believe it or not. Dig it out and let you throw the corpse in the wild. If I hear you harming people here again in the future, I will definitely use peach blossom stakes to break your yin house, and you will never be able to turn over again!

After cursing, I just patted my butt and got off the old mound, and walked back to the previous mountain road.Only then did I realize that I had walked far away from the mountain road last night, and there were grave mounds under my feet, one high and one low. I don’t even know why I felt that there was flat ground under my feet last night.

After less than 10 minutes, I walked out of the weird graveyard.As soon as I got out of the cemetery, there was a farmhouse in front of me. I hurried forward and went to the fellow's house to ask for water.

Seeing my tired look, the other party hurriedly poured a bowl of water, and at the same time looked at me, saying whether I was a foreigner or not, why did I look unfamiliar.

I nodded, and then the fellow said, you look like you didn't sleep last night, right?Did you spend the night in the cemetery in front of you?

When I heard this, I hurriedly nodded and said yes, and asked him if things like ghosts hitting the wall often happened in that cemetery.

The fellow said, who said otherwise? When it gets dark, there will be little will-o'-the-wisps there. As long as people enter the cemetery that night, don't expect to go home and sleep, they must stay there overnight before they can come out.And if you are unlucky, you will be in a daze after you come back, and you won't be able to get better if you don't burn some paper money.

Upon hearing this, I immediately felt chills, my scalp was numb, and I asked how could it be so fierce?

The fellow sighed and said that it wasn't like this before, but since the old man of Zhang's family was buried there, it has not been peaceful.

I was very curious, maybe because I was also teased by that Uncle Zhang last night, so I was particularly interested in this Uncle Zhang.I asked the fellow, why is this old man so noisy? Doesn't his family know that something is wrong?
The fellow frowned and said, how come he didn't know, he started making noise when he died, and even the family didn't dare to go after he was buried there.

Be violent when you die?Hearing this, I was very curious.

At this time, the fellow saw that I was so interested, so he told me about Uncle Zhang.

It turned out that Uncle Zhang had been dead for seven or eight years, and when he died, something strange happened that shocked the whole village.Just after Uncle Zhang died, his family was in great grief, so they went to order a coffin and put Uncle Zhang’s body in a temporary room that served as a altar. Everyone kept vigil at midnight the day before the burial, and waited for the coffin to be buried the next day.At this time, Uncle Zhang in the coffin suddenly sat up, which shocked the family at that time!
Her eldest son called Dad, but the old man suddenly stood up from the altar, stretched his hands straight forward, and jumped towards his son. Everyone was terrified and shouted that the corpse was exploded. At that time, they panicked. The son was so frightened that he ran out of the door, and the old man jumped and chased after him, his hands just stretched out like this.Then everyone came to their senses and chased after him, and finally ran to the mountain near the door of the house. His son yelled, "Dad, I'm your son!"But the old man ignored him at all and continued to chase.

Because the legs are straight, his son circled around a small tree, but the old man hugged the big tree directly, gnawed on the big tree fiercely, inserted his fingers deep into the trunk, and then rushed to The villagers tied the old man to a tree with a rope and beat him with a stick for a long time, but the old man still hugged the tree crazily, and he didn't calm down until almost dawn.

For this reason, the people in the village had no choice but to saw off all the trees. Even that piece of tree was put into the coffin with Mr. Zhang. You can still hear the old man moving inside.

How dare everyone continue to keep him for a long time, and finally dragged the coffin directly to a random grave and buried it hastily and deeply, so that no one dared to go to that grave for a long time after that.Later, some people passed by there slowly, and they were beaten by ghosts from time to time and couldn't come back. In short, until now, no one has passed by there at night.

After listening to what the fellow villagers said, I almost understood some generalities.It is very likely that when Uncle Zhang died and was placed in the mourning hall, unclean things got on his body, which is the so-called fraudulent corpse.

It's just logical that if you bury the corpse, the dirty things on the corpse will definitely leave. It can't be attached to the corpse all the time, right?But why is Uncle Zhang still making such a fuss in the cemetery?

When I was thinking about this, the fellow asked me, seeing your outfit and being so interested in this matter, could it be that you are Mr. Yin Yang?
Indeed, at this time, I was carrying a rag bag all the time because I was traveling around the rivers and lakes. Inside were some compasses, cinnabar, pens and inks, ink fountains, etc., and those who pay attention can still guess more than half of them.

I nodded and said that I was indeed Mr. Yin Yang.When the fellow heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and asked if he could help them clean up the messy cemetery in the plot, so as to save them from making trouble at night.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.I'm chasing the paper man this time, if I delay for a day, the paper man will definitely run away without a trace.However, this incident in front of me is indeed a mischief of evil spirits. Isn't it because I have to deal more with the mischief of evil spirits in the world?

After weighing it in my heart, I finally sighed and nodded in agreement.

I told the fellow that there was nothing to do during the day, and the only thing to do at night was to go around the cemetery and find out some clues.How can the fellow care so much, knowing that I am willing to help, he happily made breakfast for me immediately.

That day, I slept at the fellow's house for half a day, and when I got up in the afternoon, many people had already come to the fellow's house, all of them were local villagers.Hearing that I was willing to help clean up the messy cemetery, they all ran over to say a few words of thanks to me. Of course, Uncle Zhang’s son also ran over after hearing the news, took my hand and said it was a crime, okay. The whole family felt uncomfortable for a person who was dead but made such a fuss.

Bie's family can go to sweep the tomb, burn paper, and remember the ancestors in Qingming, but he dare not even go.Bie’s family offered some food to the ancestors on the July [-]th Ghost Festival to express their filial piety, but on July [-]th he was worried that the deceased would come back.In short, the past seven or eight years have not been going well.

I told him, don't worry, I will understand after I check it at night.

Soon, night fell, and the villagers suggested that everyone go together, and there will be no accidents if there are more people.I thought about it, that won't work, if there are more people, although nothing will happen, but if so many people ran into the cemetery together, those ghosts wouldn't dare to come out?So I advised them to wait here first, and I will go alone, and I will go back as soon as I go.

The villagers in the countryside are kind-hearted, and they all give advice and persuasion, for fear that something will happen if I go alone.

I thanked them for their kindness. Although it will definitely be troublesome to go alone, I am still sure of myself.After saying goodbye to the villagers, I picked up my bag and rushed to the dark graveyard...

The night is still dark tonight, a thin moon is also hiding in the misty night mist, and the entire mass grave is pitch black.This time I was well-prepared, holding a flashlight, a copper coin sword, and several talismans to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits.As long as there are ghosts who want to harm me, I can definitely handle it.

What's more, although the graves in this cemetery are full of hills, most of them are old graves, and there has been no owner for a long time, and the ghosts should have been reincarnated long ago.

This time, I also had a purpose, and I walked through it once during the day, so soon, I rushed directly to the grave of Uncle Zhang.

Before I arrived at Uncle Zhang's grave, I could see ghostly fires and gleaming black shadows on his grave from a distance, obviously very dark.

Just as I was about to continue walking, a man suddenly walked up the road. He was not tall, holding a white lantern in his hand. This white lantern looked very scary in the night in this messy cemetery.

Don't think about it, I know that it must be a ghost.But it just so happens that it is so noisy here, so I will clean it up by the way.

Then, I just stood there and didn't leave, waiting for that black figure with a white lantern to come over, I want to see what kind of evil the comer wants to do to me!
