Midnight Restaurant

Chapter 181 Visit Your Grave

Lao Su spoke strangely, saying that he would pass by a cemetery later, which is very famous in Lingbei, and told me not to look out the window when passing by, and he also said that he would remind me once before passing by .

I asked him why, but he wouldn't tell me.

I thought this is not sick?People are really curious, and nothing can stop them.

Lao Su's words made my heart itch, and I really want to see what will be outside the window later.

Of course, what happens in the cemetery is basically ghosts, ghosts, etc. I am different from ordinary people. I am not very afraid of ghosts, although I have been forced to change recently.

Anyway, I started looking out the window.

The car drove for a while, and Old Su turned his head: "Hey, Brother Ye, don't look at it, if you go further, you will arrive at the cemetery, be careful to scare you to death..."

"After you say that, I'm not even more curious... Hey, Lao Su, what happened to the cemetery?" I asked again.

The moment I asked this question, my eyes, through the front car window, saw clusters of flames not far away!At that time, I raised my eyebrows, what the hell?Let me guess right, it really is a will-o'-the-wisp... However, after a closer look, I gradually put away my thoughts.

That fire is wrong.

I've seen the ghost fire, it's blue, and it looks very special.

But the balls of fire in front are normal red and yellow flames, no, that is not a will-o'-the-wisp at all, someone is lighting the fire, right?
I was about to ask, when Old Su suddenly turned his head and stared at me: "Don't look! Bow your head!"

Old Su has told me many times over and over again that it would be embarrassing for me to keep staring up, so I quickly lowered my head, but at the same time, I did not forget to express my doubts: "Hey , Old Su, what happened to those balls of fire? Looking at the color, it doesn’t look like a will-o’-the-wisp, does it?”

After finishing speaking, my eyelids rolled up slightly, and I found one thing. At this moment, Lao Su not only asked me to bow my head, but he also lowered his head. Not only him, but even the son-in-law who was driving... Fortunately, this is Straight road, and there is no car in front, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble.

But why?

At this time, Lao Su also began to answer my question: "Yes, that is not a will-o'-the-wisp."

"That's not a will-o'-the-wisp, what are you afraid of? And that fire, what kind of fire is it?" I wondered.

"The fire of burning paper at the grave."

"Ah?" I was taken aback at the time, and asked in particular puzzlement, "It's not a day to go to the grave on this big night, why are so many people coming to burn paper?"

Old Su smiled at this moment: "If it's a person burning paper, there's no need for me to tell you to look down...it's not a person, it's a corpse in the grave, crawl out and burn paper for yourself."

In fact, after Lao Su finished speaking, my first reaction was not to be afraid, nor did I feel that this matter was weird, but to be puzzled...

From the grave?
Where did their paper money come from? !

Well, this matter is not the key, hell, there is always a way... But then again, there are a lot of dead people who have no one to pay homage to, why would the dead people in this cemetery climb out and burn paper for themselves?
So, I asked Lao Su, who said this at the time: "You don't know, there is a legend about this cemetery in Lingbei..."

"What legend?"

"If you want to talk about this legend, you have to talk about the customs of Lingbei first. There is no cremation here. Basically, the dead are buried in the ground. So there are many cemeteries in Lingbei... However, the place in front of me was changed decades ago. The cemetery, but it seems that no newcomers have been buried for many years."

"why?"

"...In the beginning, many things were built here, such as factories, schools, and hospitals, but weird things happened one after another. There are legends that this is an ancient execution ground, and many sinful souls were executed and died. Here, because they are evil people, the underworld will not accept them, and they will not be sent into reincarnation, so they have been wandering here for hundreds of years."

Hearing Lao Su say this, I wanted to complain, wicked people should be sent to hell, why would the hell not accept them.

Of course, I'm not good at commenting on the arrangement of the people in charge below, after all, I haven't been there yet...

Old Su continued: "...Moreover, this land is not suitable for planting. In short, it looks like it will become a waste land. There is no way, and later it will be turned into a cemetery. In short, it is often haunted by ghosts. It is not good if that person does not go. Is it? The people living here are all dead people, let them make trouble with each other."

"Oh, such a thing... But old Su, you still didn't say it, why did they get up and burn the paper?"

"Hehe, you are too impatient, I haven't finished yet...Because there are many evil rumors before this cemetery, so if a normal person dies, no one will arrange to be buried in this place. Those who are arranged to be buried here, basically They are homeless people, criminals, and widowed old people who died on the street without relatives or reasons. These people have no relatives or friends, and they cannot rot on the street after death, so they will be arranged to be buried in this cemetery."

Speaking of this, Old Su turned his head slightly, glanced at me, and continued: "I told you before, this place used to be very evil, maybe it was because of a lot of resentment, I don't quite understand, anyway, the people buried here People seem to be affected by resentment, they are dissatisfied with the government's hasty arrangement of their corpses, they are dissatisfied with the loneliness before and after death, and because no one worships them all year round, it is rumored that their corpses will crawl around every night. Get out of the grave and burn paper for yourself..."

Now I know everything about this matter. It turns out that the people who burn paper in this place are all dead people.

The car drove straight ahead, although I didn't look out the window, but I could feel the flames coming through the window from the corner of my eye, and there were faint howls and sighs in my ears, long and dark, like ghost claws from Jiuyou , always trying to turn my head out of the window.

I really couldn't hold back my curiosity, and said to myself, isn't it just the corpse crawling out of the grave to burn paper for itself?It’s okay to take a look, I’m not going to get out of the car to grab money...

So, I twisted my neck out of the window a little bit, and finally, through the glass, I saw groups of flames receding on both sides.

as well as……

The dark figures beside the flames! !

Occasionally, the flames flickered, and I could see the rotten faces illuminated by the firelight, and some of them had even lost their skin and flesh, revealing dark gray skulls!

I took a deep breath, these people don't know if it's because of their death, or what, the expressions on their faces are not very rich, they all have a cold face, so cold that one looks at it like falling into an ice cellar.

Maybe I was engrossed in watching it. I originally planned to just look up and finish the job, but when I watched it, I just stared blankly.

When I was in a daze, I suddenly felt a scorching gaze staring at me from one direction. I moved my head slightly, and found that it was a highly decomposed corpse just now. It used the rotten black water in its eye sockets to die Stare in my direction!

Fuck...why the hell are you still looking at me?Seriously, this dude is disgusting.

I covered my mouth and suppressed the urge to vomit, but at the same time, I discovered a strange scene... From the first corpse staring at me, after that, there were corpses staring at me one after another, some even Stand up and walk towards me.

At that time, my heart sank, and I hurriedly asked: "Hey, Lao Su, you said that you were not allowed to look outside, was it because you were afraid that I would be frightened by the burning paper of the corpse?"

Old Su smiled and said, "This is one aspect, and there is another aspect."

"in addition?"

"That's right, Brother Ye, you should know that the eyes are the windows of the human soul, and the eyes are the most psychic part of the human body. Some people even say that people who know magic can draw the soul out of the eyes... …You should find that many times, even if your back is turned to the person, you can still feel the unkind gaze from your back. The same is true for those corpses, they can feel it, they are full of resentment, so if you look at them , They will be jealous if they feel your living soul from your eyes. Then tonight... we don't even think about passing this way."

"They will attack people?" I raised my eyebrows.

Old Su nodded: "Yes, there have been a lot of accidents on this road before, all of which were devoured by corpses. The official explanation is... a wild animal attack, but the locals in Lingbei know that it is What's the matter. If it wasn't for this short road, I wouldn't actually like to walk. But you don't have to worry too much, Brother Ye. As long as we don't look out the window, nothing will happen. Okay, this road should pass quickly gone."

I really want to cry but have no tears. As soon as Lao Su finished speaking, I wanted to confess to him.

But before I could say it, the car slammed, as if it was crushed by something, and the whole car jolted violently.

"What's wrong?!"

"Dad, we seem to have crushed something, and this car..."

When old Su’s son-in-law was talking, I heard the sound of the wheels spinning in the mud, and then he continued: “…This car seems to be stuck in some kind of mud puddle and can’t move.”

"Hey! It's really bad luck... I don't know if we have left this cemetery now."

dong dong dong! !

Just as Lao Su finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the glass outside.

At this moment, the entire car was silent, and Old Su's voice was a little trembling: "Who... who is knocking? There can't be anyone on this road... this... ah!!"

Old Su yelled suddenly, I looked up, and Old Su had already raised his head at this moment, so he saw the picture outside our car.

Hmm... how to describe it?
Now our outside, just like the walking dead in the American TV show, is surrounded by a group of wretched corpses who climbed up to burn paper in the middle of the night, their eyes are watery, their teeth are grinning, bang bang bang!He kept beating on Lao Su's car.

"Ye...Ye Yan, you, did you look out just now?!" Old Su looked back at me at this moment.

I laughed dryly: "Just... just one glance, who knew that these buddies would still have such good eyesight after death..."
