The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 46
Regardless of whether the people in the village wait to see Papa Ah Shan or not, they are willing to help when they have something to do.

When it was almost dawn, I found Mother Ah Shan in a mountain depression.Seeing her disheveled hair, dull eyes, and wide open mouth, it seems that she has just been greatly frightened.No matter how Papa Ah Shan called her, she couldn't wake up. Papa Ah Shan cried again when he saw this cowardly man, with snot and tears pouring down his nose.

When Grandpa saw Ah Shan's mother, his eyes were indescribably serious. Xia Xiangxi felt that there must be something else going on, but she didn't dare to ask Grandpa in front of Ah Shan's father.When I went back, before she could ask, Grandpa said it first.

Grandpa said: "Mother Ah Shan's soul should have been eaten by flying corpses!" After speaking, he explained to Xia Xiangxi what flying corpses were.

Xia Xiangxi was startled, she wasn't frightened by the flying corpse, but remembered that her grandfather and He Xuan had also been killed by the flying corpse before, but her grandfather didn't know about that incident.At that time, Grandpa and the others were not like Ashan's mother after being eaten by flying corpses, but turned into living dead.

Grandpa said that the flying corpse is very difficult to deal with, mainly because it is in the dark, unless you see it come out to harm people, otherwise you don't know how to catch it.If there is no way to catch the flying corpse, there is no way to rescue the spirit of Mama Ashan who was eaten by the flying corpse, so Mama Ashan can only stay stupid.

Grandpa hasn't thought of a way to help Ah Shan's mother, and people in the village have symptoms of Ah Shan's mother one after another.Most of them were people who walked at night, unconscious on the way, and by the time they found out, they had already turned into the appearance of Ah Shan's mother.

Grandpa went to the elders in the village and warned the people in the village not to go out at night.All of a sudden, the whole Xiaomiao Village became panicked.

During the day, Grandpa sent Xia Xiangxi to Phoenix City to buy a few catties of red dates.Ma Po said that her family still has some dates harvested last year, and there are also jujube trees in the south, but because of the climate in the south, the yield is not high, and the dates produced are always extremely poor in sweetness.

Grandpa waved his hand and said no, and told Xia Xiangxi to go as soon as possible. If he calculated that he would not be able to come back before the evening, he would stay in Phoenix City for one night and return early in the morning.

Fortunately, Xia Xiangxi walked fast, bought dates in time and rushed back before dark.

Grandpa let Xia Xiangxi eat the dates again, leaving the date stones, and wrapping every seven date stones in a paper bag.There are several packs in total.

In the evening, Grandpa said: "If no one walks at night for several days, that flying corpse should be hungry by now. It's a good time to catch it."

He took Xia Xiangxi out together.Ma Po also wanted to follow, but Grandpa blocked her, saying that she is just a burden now, and she can't help, but will be a burden to others.The words were very unpleasant, but Ma Po was not annoyed, and told Xia Xiangxi to take good care of her grandfather, Xia Xiangxi nodded and agreed to reassure her.

Grandpa used the compass to check for ghosts.Xia Xiangxi has seen the usefulness of the compass today, but she really doesn't understand it very well.

The father and son walked towards the northeast direction where the yin and qi were heavier. I don't know how long they walked. Grandpa said that there is no need to go forward, because they are afraid that they will reach the boundary.

Not long after, Xia Xiangxi really heard a rustling sound, like someone walking on the grass.When I looked again, I saw a figure running towards them at high speed, and what frightened Xia Xiangxi the most was that the man did not run over on the ground, but on the tip of the grass, as in the movie It flew over like a light work.

Grandpa immediately took out the slingshot and asked Xia Xiangxi to take out the paper bag that contained the date pits, and shot out the seven date pits together, aiming at the same place, and Xia Xiangxi almost used up the date pits. Only then did he force the figure back again and again. Grandpa led Xia Xiangxi to chase after him. When they reached a small hillside, they threw the figure to the ground for the last time and disappeared.

There is no end to learning, Xia Xiangxi knew that night, the date stone is also a thing to ward off evil spirits, and it is more important to deal with zombies than black dog blood.

That's about the end of what we have to do tonight.At dawn the next day, grandpa brought the young people from the village back here again.

Grandpa calculated the boundaries of the land, and then gave the order for the young men to start digging with shovels.The soil here is actually harder than ordinary soil, and the shovel shovels down like hitting a stone.Even though those young men were well-known good laborers in the village, they didn't dig a big hole in the whole morning.

Ma Po also came to the stockade, carrying a celadon jar.Xia Xiangxi thought it was for food, for the young men who were working.When Ma Po came close, she realized that this was not the case.The pot was filled with something like rice soup. Ma Po sprinkled the rice soup on the earth kang dug half a meter deep, and saw inexplicable bursts of green smoke rising.There was a stench spreading, and a young man standing in the pit almost fainted from the stench, yelling "poisoned" and "poisoned", his companions pulled him up from the pit, and he hid in a paralyzed place. He kept panting on the ground, and it took him a long time to recover.

Ma Po burned some more yellow paper, and when the yellow paper was burned out, she said to the young men, "Okay, now it's easy to dig."

Sure enough, the soil was like a plowed farmland, the soil loosened a lot, and it was not so difficult to dig it down.

I didn't dig much in the morning, and now I just dug a hole for half an hour to find a large red lacquer coffin.After prying open the coffin, I saw a fair-skinned woman lying in the coffin.At first glance, Xia Xiangxi thought it was some naughty girl who deliberately jumped into the coffin to play a joke, because that woman really looked like a living person.

Grandpa said: "This zombie is causing trouble. Fortunately, she has not yet reached the stage of cultivation, otherwise it would not be so easy to deal with!" Stay away, lad.

Just at this moment, Xia Xiangxi saw A Guduo walking towards him with a bamboo basket on his shoulders.It turned out that A Guduo's husband was one of these guys.A Guduo didn't know what her husband was doing, and no one came back after noon, so he made lunch and sent it over.

As soon as Grandpa sprinkled the special medicinal powder into the coffin, the potbellied Aguduo walked up to him.That zombie was infested with grandpa's medicine powder and jumped out of the grave in no time. Everyone knew how to run when they saw this scene.But A Guduo couldn't figure out the situation, after his grandfather hit the zombie with a slingshot date stone and knocked it down, A Guduo put down the basket, treated the zombie as a living woman, and kindly helped him up.Xia Xiangxi yelled to tell her not to go, but she didn't have time to stop her.

A Guduo helped the zombie up, only to realize that something was wrong, but it was too late, the zombie grabbed A Guduo's hand ferociously, and A Guduo screamed in fright.In order to save A Guduo, those young men didn't care what they were afraid of, especially A Guduo's husband, who really went all out to save his wife. He picked up a shovel and smashed the zombie a few times, killing the zombie The smashed bones are exposed.

After he helped up A Guduo who was overly frightened, he saw a bloodstain on her arm scratched by a zombie.
