The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 17 Female Zombie
Grandpa said that those tomb robbers who are not afraid to deal with ancient tombs and ancient corpses have this saying "tomb robbers do not steal Yong'an Tomb!".

Those tomb robbers who have always been rampant in the history of our country will be terrified when they mention the place of Yong'an Gongchuan.

The soil quality of the "corpse raising ground" is quite cold, and the soil color is black.If the ground is scorched by the sun, it will only turn the corpse into a mummy. Therefore, people who know Feng Shui generally use the earth to measure its position, or simply use the touch of the fingers or even try the dirt with the tip of the tongue to judge.As long as the corpse is buried in the "corpse raising ground", due to the stickiness of the soil and the extremely unbalanced pH, the air-holding performance is good and it is extremely unsuitable for the growth of organic matter.Therefore, the coffin will not breed ants, insects, bacteria, etc. Even if the corpse is buried for a hundred years or even thousands of years, the muscles and hair of the corpse will not rot.

Xia Xiangxi's first feeling after hearing this was horror.But this is how she will feel in the future, and she doesn't know it yet.

Grandpa and Ma Po sprinkled some cinnabar and yellow talismans around the grave, which temporarily sealed the zombie.

Xia Xiangxi saw what was going on here, so he asked his grandfather how to find He Xuan.He Xuan still doesn't know where to get lost in the mountains.Grandpa waved his hand and said, "I don't care about him for now."

Xia Xiangxi couldn't tell what she felt, she was really worried that He Xuan would be killed by Huan Huan again, or be frozen to death in the mountains.When she came here, she heard from her grandfather that the two things were done together, and she thought it included looking for He Xuan, but it turned out that it wasn't such a thing, which made her feel awkward all of a sudden.

Grandpa noticed that Xia Xiangxi's complexion was not very good, and he could see her worry from her face, so he said to her, "Ni'er, don't worry. That kid is fine, he's just going around on the road for now, Huanhuan is gone. Injured, the best thing to do is to entangle that kid so that he can't leave here, and can't hurt him. Ma Po has already let Qi Hao attach to the rooster to see how he is. If something happens, the rooster will Come back and report. If you don’t look for him right now, you’re afraid that he will lure Huanhuan out again, and it will be even more difficult to deal with it here!”

Xia Xiangxi nodded and said nothing more.It was also at this time that he realized that the previous rooster was not from an ordinary background, it turned out to be Qi Hao's ghostly one.

After returning to the village, she fell asleep for a while in a daze. In her dream, He Xuan was huddled alone in the barren mountains, that helpless and restless look.She tried her best to speak comforting words to him, and wanted to put a thick coat on him, but he couldn't hear him, and she couldn't reach him.Finally, she woke up suddenly, she opened her eyes suddenly, it was still daylight, and the crowing sound of the rooster was coming through the window and stuffed into her ears.

When Grandpa heard her scream, he asked her loudly, "Ni'er, are you having a nightmare?" Xia Xiangxi responded, got dressed and got up, but he couldn't find her coat. It was obviously placed at the end of the bed with other clothes.After searching for a long time but not finding it, Xia Xiangxi thought he was confused and didn't know where he left his clothes.

After daybreak, Ma Po gathered some young and bold villagers to dig the grave together at the corpse farm.Grandpa said that the zombie must be dug out and subdued, and then it will be buried after its bones oxidize and rot.In this way, even if the cemetery is still a corpse raising place, the corpse can no longer be maintained by the corpse raising place.

It's just that before digging the grave, it is necessary to find out whose relatives belong to the grave.It's not about asking the family members to be polite or something, but to find the relatives in the cemetery. According to the local customs, the owner's family has to pay the "earth worker".Here is a long-winded sentence, "earth engineering" has multiple meanings, one of which is a person who specializes in funerals.

After backfilling the rotten bones, the owner's family will hold a big banquet, because his family buried the grave by mistake and caused a disaster to appease the people in the village.

Among the few earthworkers was a man in his 40s who knew the solitary grave.It is said that the grave does not belong to another family, but Ma Bo's.A daughter died in his family more than ten years ago. That daughter and Majuni were twin sisters, but she died within a few days.

Only now did Xia Xiangxi understand how that female ghost was considered Majuni. Can the twin sisters not admit their mistakes?
Uncle Ma's family was called to the cemetery, and Po Ma told everything. Uncle Ma didn't believe it, and Aunt Ma sat on the ground crying and crying, just like ordinary rural women.He insisted that all of this was due to that vicious person in Ma Nan, who got mixed up and failed to propose a marriage, deliberately slandering their family for such an evil thing.It is unlucky to dig a grave, not to mention being framed as a "corpse raising place" for a murderer?
Grandpa squatted aside smoking a cigarette, as if he didn't hear the messy things here.The strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, and it is right for Grandpa to stay out of the matter for the time being.No matter how much prestige he has in Miao Village, an outsider who has nothing to do with here is always right!

Ma Po was not in a hurry over there, she just waited for Aunt Ma to make enough trouble before speaking.

The villagers gathered around couldn't hold their breath. After all, this matter was related to everyone in the village. No one wanted the zombies in the cemetery to come out to harm the people in the village. Now there are grandpa and Ma Po's gang It's up to you to deal with it, if the incident becomes more serious in the future, and you can't clean it up, then you don't know who will be unlucky!
A grumpy villager threatened Aunt Ma to bury her in the broken grave if she continued to cry like this.Aunt Ma was so frightened that her face turned blue, and she didn't dare to make a fuss anymore, she just shrank to the side and muttered in a low voice.

With the combined force of the earthworks, the grave was soon dug up, and the surrounding green bricks were exposed.There is more than one grave hole made of blue bricks, there are two in total.In addition to the coffin that was cracked and exposed before, there is another coffin.

When Xia Xiangxi saw this scene, he immediately thought of what Ma Nan said. He said that the female ghost's house had two beds, one of which was unused, and he tried his best to not move it.Looking at it now, it was normal that Ma Nan couldn't move the bed. Where was the bed? It was simply a big coffin that could only be lifted by several people!
Ma Po threw some white rice into the grave and scattered some talisman papers.Grandpa asked a young man to spread a large piece of white ash near the grave according to his instructions.

After that, the earthworkers took a lot of effort to remove the nails on the coffin board with pliers.

Grandpa stood on the edge of the grave and read a sentence, "Immortals live in the mountains, people live in the dust, and ghosts return to the Yin. It's good for evildoers to stop loving the world, and they will go to hell and be reborn sooner!" After finishing speaking, he shouted "Open!"

Those earth workers used sharpened bamboo boards to wedge into the gap under the coffin lid, and then forcefully pried the coffin lid off the coffin.

The coffin lid rolled away from the coffin and rolled to the side.Everyone hurriedly covered their noses, hiding as far as they could in the grave.Everyone thought that there would be a stench and a pungent smell while walking, but they were all wrong, except for some indescribable fishy smell, there was no foul smell.On the contrary, a girl's unique powdery smell penetrated into the person's nose.

This coffin belonged to the dead daughter of Uncle Ma and his wife, probably because of this, Uncle Ma didn't mean to be afraid, but Aunt Ma who gave birth to the female ghost screamed in fright. Run as far as you can now.

When the person who caught her asked her to get closer to the coffin to see what was going on inside, she was so frightened that her body was as limp as noodles, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Grandpa originally refused to let Xia Xiangxi see what was going on in the coffin, for fear that she would be scared.Xia Xiangxi also wanted to avoid looking, but the zombie in the coffin climbed up by itself, and everyone fled in panic, Xia Xiangxi turned his head around, just in time to see that zombie looked like a living person Standing in front of the grave, except for that pale face, the others don't think it's scary at all.The appearance of that face was almost the same as that of Majuni, except that the hair was long and loose, and the clothes on his body were all torn, exposing the white skin of his body.

"Ma Nan, you heartless bastard, I am sincere to you, and you hurt me like this?" The female zombie's voice was muffled, as if someone had a cough and their throat was torn apart.He kept cursing at Ma Nan who had failed him.

Uncle Ma took a step forward bravely. Although he didn't understand how the twin daughters, who were just babies when they died, turned into a young girl, their appearance was almost the same as that of Majuni. Facing such a daughter, I felt that this daughter had never died, but was buried by them by mistake.The kind of paternal love in his bones was revealed without any hindrance, thinking whether this is the blessing God bestowed on him, that his daughter who died in infancy still lived to such an age?
Grandpa stopped Ma Bo from walking into the female zombie in time.He shouted angrily at him, "It's not your daughter, it's a zombie that can only kill people. After you pass by, it won't miss the friendship between you father and daughter. Do you still want to die?"

Uncle Ma refused to believe it, so he pushed his grandpa vigorously. Grandpa's physique was extremely poor, but he was shoved hard by a strong man like him, and he sat down on the ground with a shake of his body.

Uncle Ma wanted to approach the female zombie, but the zombie suddenly smiled grinningly and stretched her arms forward, jumping towards Uncle Ma.Only then did Uncle Ma stupidly look at the feet of the female zombie, and saw that her legs were tied with the stumbling rope tied according to the custom during burial, and then he suddenly woke up, seeing that the female zombie was about to grab her He, he also lowered his head and bent at the right time, to untie the stumbling rope on the female zombie's feet, and muttered, "Daughter, it's all my father's fault for letting you stay in such a ghostly place." After more than ten years, come, Dad will help you untie the stumbling rope, and you will go home with Dad!"

Xia Xiangxi and the people around him were stunned by Uncle Ma's actions. They didn't know whether he was crazy or scared. How could he have such a stupid idea?

The female zombie couldn't understand Ma Bo's words at all, and couldn't comprehend a father's love for his daughter. She bent her stiff body hard, and there was a "clack" sound from the joints being pulled abruptly.The mechanically stiff head was like a rusty chain, slowly lowering, the mouth that had exposed two fangs, the saliva was constantly dripping, and big drops fell on Mabo's face. on the head.

Aunt Ma could see clearly from the side, and when she saw that the female zombie was going to harm her husband, she burst into tears. Her feet were so frightened that they took root on the ground, she couldn't move, she just screamed, thinking To wake her nightmare-like husband from his hallucinations.
