Chapter 29 Tomb Robbery
  Tomb robbery! ?
  These two words were beyond everyone's expectations.

It took me a while before I came back to my senses:
  "Is there a tomb underground?"

This time, the bloated baby girl looked at me with a hint of danger. I quickly closed my mouth, walked around twice, and finally figured out the key point:
  "I figured it out."

"In that case, the man who died in the 'birth canal' was a tomb robber. The tomb robber asked your son, Uncle Zhou, to lead the way to the tomb."

"Your son Xu was threatened, so he has been secretly trying to thwart them."

"As a result, his head was badly beaten and his head was bleeding, and the tomb robber couldn't get out."

When I mentioned this, I looked specifically at the baby girl to verify. The baby girl's belly was distended and she nodded first and then shook her head.

In my daze, the baby girl slowly said:

"They're in the birth canal, in the birth canal, in the belly, on the outside."

This way of speaking is killing me
  I thought hard for a moment, and a horrifying idea flashed through my mind. The size of this baby girl's limbs should have been thrown down and killed as soon as she was born, but the difference between her and those ghost babies is-

She can talk, and her belly
  I swallowed::
  "You mean, there were four grave robbers, two were in the birth canal, one ran out, and one was in your belly, right?"

"Can you tell sister that the one who ran out was the son of the Zhou family?"

Seeing the bloated baby girl shaking her head, my idea was finally verified.

If he hadn't come in today, who would have thought that there were so many secrets in this small hole. Sixteen years ago, such a tragic incident even happened.

I tightly wrapped the ghost baby's skeleton, said goodbye to the ghost babies all over the wall, pulled Uncle Zhou who was sobbing on the ground, out of the pit, and climbed up the ropeway again.

Xiao Wen outside had obviously been waiting for a long time and looked anxious. When he saw the two of me coming up, he hurriedly came to pick up the things:

"Beautiful cousin, are you okay down there? You worry me to death."

Xiaowen's words stopped suddenly. I knew he must have seen Uncle Zhou behind me, but when I opened my mouth, I couldn't say anything to comfort him.

An hour ago, Uncle Zhou was still a energetic and energetic middle-aged man.

But when he came back, Uncle Zhou seemed to have aged more than ten years, and even his back was slumped a lot. His face was filled with tears, and his nose was sticky with dust, making him look really haggard.

Xiao Wen quickly stepped forward to support Uncle Zhou and asked a few urgent questions, but Uncle Zhou was so distracted that he waved his hand feebly and failed to answer.

I couldn't bear to see such a scene. After thinking about it, I finally said:

"Uncle Zhou, let Xiaowen take you back to rest first."

"How about I go to your house and check on your son, just in case, if his soul is knocked out, maybe I can help you get it back."

After hearing this, Uncle Zhou finally regained his senses and was about to kneel down. I quickly dodged it and helplessly pointed at the pile of ghost baby skeletons in my hand:
  ". Then you have to wait until I dispose of these bones. Just wait. I will go to your house tomorrow."

Of course Uncle Zhou had no objection. I carried the bones down the mountain and returned home in a hurry.

My second uncle had already returned to the shop from the back mountain and was hanging bamboo sticks in the yard. He frowned when he saw the shabby look on my face when I entered the house.

I also know that there are wounds on my knees and arms, and even the legs of my trousers are stained with sticky and smelly blood. It will be hard to see them like this.

But I didn't care about that, and told my second uncle the whole thing again.

The second uncle's originally flabby body sat up straighter as he listened, his brows furrowed like a hill, and he said after a long time:

"You mean you met a wall full of ghost babies?"

"And the ghost babies seem to be guarding a tomb?"

I drank several sips of water to calm my breathing:

"Yes! Hasn't Second Uncle heard of this?"

"I'm still wondering whether we should deal with the ghost babies first, or the underground tomb and the tomb robbers who died underneath." Before he could finish speaking, his second uncle hit a fried chestnut on the head. I really put in a lot of effort:

"Can you get benefits from the big tomb that can silence those ghost babies? You really don't regard your own life as a life! Don't think about it, you still guard the store."

When the second uncle's words came to his lips, he paused and continued:

"Don't think about it. Didn't you agree to help the big-bellied ghost baby who has seen the blood?"

"What you promise to the gods and ghosts must be kept true to your word. You should first find out why the skeletons of so many baby girls appear down there."

"Go by yourself. With the "Secret Technique of Paper Tying" I gave you, this matter should be easy."

"After understanding the cause and effect, find their respective skeletons and send them to reincarnation."

"By the way, what you are carrying now is the skeleton of the Zhu family's grandson, right?"

I was thinking that my second uncle had been a little too trusting towards me recently. When my second uncle asked this question, I suddenly remembered that there was a skeleton in my arms and hurriedly handed it to my second uncle.

My second uncle took the skeleton from my hand, showed me how to burn the skeleton, and then sealed it in a small lotus porcelain altar.

The second uncle held the lotus porcelain altar and looked at each other for a long time before he hesitated and said:

"Do you think Zhu Dongmei can have this child?"

I shook my head:

"No, as long as she has some thoughts about being a mother, she won't abuse her children again and again."

Second uncle felt a little relieved when he heard what I said:

"That's enough. Xie Jinhua from before, oh, that silly female ghost. I guess she has decided to die together with Zhu Daqian. She will be wiped out in ashes. She will definitely not come back to fulfill her contract."

"Let's keep this little baby and work for us."

Under my confused gaze, the second uncle quickly changed his words:
  "Ahem, ahem, look at the store. I specially used a lotus porcelain altar. I burn three sticks of incense every day. Soon this little guy will be able to transform and become our Baojia doll!"

"The old one is gone, the younger one is here, we won't lose!"

Since the second uncle has spoken, I have no reason to refute.

The next day, I got up early and rushed to Zhu's house.

The Zhu family has hung up white lanterns everywhere, and several younger members of the family are squatting in the mourning hall playing cards with happy faces, looking very happy.

I went to Zhu Dongmei again and told him that the ghost baby had been solved.

As I expected, Zhu Dongmei waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that she did not want the child's body.

After repeated pulling, I 'reluctantly' accepted the Guiying's body, and then completely obtained the house transfer agreement from Zhu Dongmei.

Then he rushed to Uncle Zhou's village, Shibi Village, without stopping.

Shibi Village is actually quite far away from Wanyao, but the road to this village was one that I often came to when I was a child.

Because this is the oldest village in the surrounding area, many customs follow those from long ago.

Ancestor worship, temple fairs, these long-abandoned festivals are only found here, and they are very popular among children.

Thinking about what happened in the past, I couldn't help but walk a little faster, but before I entered the entrance of Shibi Village, I heard an angry voice shouting from a distance:
  ".You are the one who despised your life to give birth to a daughter! Your whole family will give birth to daughters!"

"If you give birth to a daughter, throw them into a pit!"
