Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 66
There are too many uncertainties in the matter of finding giant snails in caves, because whether to find them or not, it may take a day to find them, or it may not be found in a month.So I'm going to steal the bone marrow first, because the dead are buried there. It doesn't have to be the same as looking for giant snails in the cave, but just buried there and just take it.

That's why my cousin Ye Feiji told me how to make three-day insect repellent dew, because I'm not sure when I'll find the giant snail in the cave, maybe we won't be in Phoenix by then.

Bone marrow also pays attention to the freshness. If a pig is killed, it can be eaten for two days, but it can only be thrown away after three days.After a person dies, he has to do religious rituals for a few days, and the internal organs have already started to rot on the day they are buried. Fortunately, what I want is bone marrow, so I just need to saw off a leg bone of the deceased.

This is a very immoral and disgusting thing, but I don't care so much for saving lives, the living are always more important than the dead.

When Ye Feiji learned that I was going to dig a grave and saw off a dead man's leg bones tonight, he vomited on the spot and said that he would not go with me tonight.In fact, I never said I wanted her to go!This is a dangerous thing. If the family members of the deceased caught me, I would have to be skinned on the spot.This is not going to the market to go shopping, and she can't help much, and escaping at a critical moment is also a burden.

In the afternoon, Ye Feiji went back to her grandmother's house. She had already ridden the bicycle, and I followed my cousin to the town to prepare tools.We bought a site hoe for trenching, a short sharp knife for slicing up the legs, and a saw for the bones.I also bought a leather whip, which is to deal with the poisonous snakes that may come out to harass me anytime and anywhere. With this leather whip, one whip is enough to break the snake's spine.

Of course, it is not difficult to dig a grave and saw the bones, but it is troublesome to open the coffin. In our hometown, we need to nail three nails. I don’t know how many nails here.Think of a fifteen-centimeter-long nail driven into wood, and it is really difficult for a person to pull it out.However, I once went to pick up bones with Goddess Zhang, and when she opened the coffin, she always sang, "Grandpa Jade Emperor, Grandma Queen Mother, left yesterday and returned today, the door of the earth is open, the door of the earth is open."

When she sang, I couldn't help laughing. According to Goddess Zhang, it was to tell the person in the coffin that he was going to be moved and let him open the door by himself.Although the dead will not push open the coffin lid by themselves, it will be much easier to open after chanting this, just like some dead people are unwilling to die because the coffin is very heavy, and after chanting some things, it will become lighter.

It was already evening after the tools were ready, my cousin took me to the foot of a mountain far away from the village, pointed to a new grave not far away and told me that it was just buried at noon.My uncle said that the dead man buried in the grave was a young man who died of drinking. He was only in his early 20s this year, and he might have died unwillingly and resentfully. Let me be careful.

After telling me this, my cousin asked me to come to his house to pick up the other three medicinal materials in two days, and then went home after giving some instructions.If I want to act, I have to wait until after twelve o'clock at night, because there will be no one at that time, and doing this kind of thing is not afraid of the dead, but afraid of being known by the living.

There were still several hours in the evening, so I found a bush and hid the tools inside, then went up the mountain to find a smooth big rock and went to sleep.The four sides of the stone are as smooth as a wall, even if there are snakes coming, it is difficult to climb up, and there is Tongtong warning, so I can sleep well.

At around twelve o'clock at night, I was woken up by Tongtong. Under the moonlight, I saw more than a dozen snakes gathered at the foot of the stone, and they were desperately climbing up the stone, but no matter how hard they climbed, it was of no avail.

I asked Tongtong what to do, but she didn’t have the whip on her body. Tongtong told me that the more snakes she saw me kill, the deeper the snake marks on her forehead would be, and the deeper the snake marks, the easier it would be to attract snakes.The current level can attract snakes within a radius of [-] meters. After killing more snakes, it may be able to attract snakes within a radius of one kilometer, or ten kilometers.At that time, there is no need to do anything, just beat snakes every day, and the more you beat, the more you beat, the cycle continues until you are bitten to death.

Tongtong wants to remind me that this snake cannot be killed, otherwise it will be harmful to the snake, but what should I do!Tongtong said that I can't kill it doesn't mean she can't kill it. She got out of my pocket as she said that, and then jumped under the rock, grabbed the tail of the biggest snake and stretched her hand above her head and swung it around vigorously, like a helicopter.

After Tongtong shook it a few times, the snake's internal organs were thrown out from its mouth and flew over my head, it was extremely disgusting.Afterwards, Tongtong grabbed the tails of the remaining dozen snakes and lashed them hard against the rocks. The stones made a crackling sound, and the skin and flesh of each snake were ripped open.

After Tong Tong took care of all the snakes, I jumped off the rock, took out tools from the grass under the moonlight, and came to the grave that was just buried at noon.

The soul-calling banner fluttered under the moonlight, like a white-clothed ghost floating in mid-air with its teeth and claws. I cut it off with a single slash.

Digging pits is my strong point. I told the grave that I would borrow something today, and I would definitely return it another day. After speaking, I grabbed the hoe and started working. I dug for more than half an hour to expose the coffin lid before resting, and then dug another half. In an hour, most of the coffin was exposed.

This is a red coffin. I don’t know if it’s because of young age and no heirs and sudden death. I only know that the black coffin means peaceful sleep, and the red one is supposed to suppress evil.A blood-soaked coffin is not to mention terrifying under the moonlight. I am not afraid of dead bodies, nor are ghosts, but I still feel uncomfortable when I look at this coffin.

After digging out the coffin, I was ready to open it. I dug the tip of the hoe into the crack of the coffin, and pried it with all my strength, but there was no response at all. The coffin seemed to be made of steel.Next, I found an unburned incense stick in front of the grave, lit it, and sang like Goddess Zhang, "Grandpa Jade Emperor, Grandma Queen Mother, left yesterday and returned today, the gate of the earth is open!" open."

I couldn't help laughing while singing, and I stopped laughing after singing for the third time, and then I went to pry the coffin lid, and it finally moved, which is really miraculous.

I kept changing positions and prying for a full ten minutes. After prying the last nail and breaking it with a hoe, it was considered to be really prying open. I stood at the end of the coffin and opened the coffin lid forcefully.

As soon as the lid of the coffin was opened, I smelled a smell of alcohol. I guess this guy had drunk enough, and because of this, the corpse didn't smell the slightest bit.When it comes to the smell of dead bodies, it is similar to the smell after killing a chicken and throwing it under the bed with the doors and windows closed for ten days. Friends with strong tastes can try it.

I called Tong Tong out and asked her to stand outside to watch for me, while I jumped into the coffin, took a sharp knife and separated the pants of the dead body, exposing the legs.

Then a long and deep cut was made along the leg. It is much more convenient for the dead to have no blood. After cutting one knife after another, the meat will turn into muddy water anyway, so there is no need to worry about how rough the action is, how ugly the cut is, and Not surgery.

I raised the knife and dropped the knife, and the knife dropped the flesh. In the end, I stripped off all the thigh meat of the dead body, exposing the entire leg bone, and my hands were full of filth, which was disgusting.I took the saw and started sawing, and cut off one side after a while, so I simply lifted my leg out of the coffin to saw, because when I was working, I always felt that the dead man was staring at me.

I put the sawed off leg on a branch next to it and started sawing again. As I sawed, suddenly there was a wind. Although the wind was not strong, it was very cold, cold to the bone.

Tongtong came to me and said that Brother Jumping River is a dark wind, every night at midnight, it blows for a while, ghosts feel very comfortable, but people may catch a cold.The person in the coffin died very unwillingly. After death, he would be dismembered by you, Brother Jumping River. The wind might blow the corpse, so Tongtong asked me to saw it quickly and leave.

Hearing what Tongtong said, I didn't want to cause other troubles, so I picked up the hoe and hit the half-sawed leg bone hard and broke it.I threw the rest of the calf back into the coffin, thanked the dead body, and said that it would be a free donation, and I would repay the life-saving grace when I had the opportunity.

As soon as I finished speaking and was about to close the coffin, the dead body in the coffin suddenly sat up, which made me startled, and the hoe in my hand was about to smash it.

Tong Tong stopped me, she told me that the dead body was not malicious, he just died unwillingly, and now he was telling Tong Tong that he was reluctant to leave his family.But I couldn't hear anything, I just saw that the dead body sat up and didn't move any further.

Tongtong told me that the person in the coffin had not fulfilled his wish, and he felt that I could help him, so he was willing to exchange his leg bone, hoping that I could help him fulfill his wish.

After Tongtong finished speaking, I put down the hoe that was raised above my head and asked Tongtong what his wish was.

It turned out that this man went to a wedding two days ago, got drunk and died suddenly when he returned home. The death was too sudden. His mother was mentally retarded and his father was lame, so he was unwilling to die so early.The most worrying thing is that he has a younger sister who is in the sixth grade of elementary school, and he is the only one to support the whole family and support her education. Now that he is dead, her younger sister will not be able to go to school, and her parents may starve to death, so he is worried.

I asked Tong Tong how he wanted me to help him. Tong Tong said that the man had dug up a bell before, which seemed to be a very old antique. He never knew where to sell it, so he hid it and waited for a chance to sell it in the future.Now that he is dead, no one knows about the antique bell he hid. He hopes that I can sell it for him, and then give the money to his parents to treat the sick sister and go to school.

I asked Tongtong and he didn't tell me where the antique bell was hidden!Tong Tong said that the man told her.I thought about it, if this bell is really an antique, there is no need to find a place to sell it, and I will be his buyer.Something with a long history, such as an ancient bronze knife, might be a good treasure again, so I agreed to his request on the spot.

I said to the coffin, reassure the dead man, I will definitely do it for him!As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the dead body and immediately lay down.

I immediately put the lid on the coffin, and then hurriedly filled it with soil. It took me three or four hours to get the leg bone, and I threw the tools away with the bone.

I went straight to Ye Feiji's grandmother's house, and finally returned to the door when it was dawn. In order not to disturb Ye Feiji and her grandmother sleeping, I sat at the gate until after seven o'clock before knocking on the door.

It was Ye Feiji's grandmother who opened the door. She just woke up and saw the bone in my hand and asked. I told her that it was a human bone, and it was one of the ingredients for insect repellent lotion.Grandma Ye Feiji nodded, quickly found some herbs and boiled a pot of purple water, asking me to put the bones in to keep them fresh.

Then he boiled water for me to take a bath to wash off the filth on my body. When I was making breakfast, Grandma Ye Feiji and I chatted about the giant snail in the cave.
