Tomb Keeper

Chapter 50 The Secret of the Grave Mountain (1)

That night, I told Ye Zi all about me.I said that my unannounced visit could be over, and I wanted to take her back to the provincial capital.She said, but I still have more than a year here. The fortune teller said that I have to work here for three years before my father recovers from his illness.

I said, can we write off everything we said in the past?I've confessed myself, so don't mention the fortune teller and your father's illness anymore.I won't ask you about your real situation, unless you are willing to tell me someday.I just want to take you away now, I want to be with you, understand?

Ye Zi's expression suddenly panicked, to be exact.She said, you, you don't believe me?I'm telling the truth.

Ye Zi's attitude made me very embarrassed.At this time, we who were sitting on the terrace heard something "snap" in the house, and I calmly glanced sideways at the door leading to the terrace, because you are no longer worried about plums reappearing.Sure enough, the source of the sound became clear very quickly, because the black cat had jumped out of the house onto the terrace.Leaf got up to chase it away, and as soon as it jumped up, it ran away from the tree outside the terrace.

Ye Zi stood by the terrace, watching the black cat jump down the tree, as if thinking about something.After a while, she turned around and said to me, you only know half of Yang Huzi's secret.

I was a little surprised, and asked anxiously, is there anything else he is hiding?
Ye Zi said, I will take you to the yin house to have a look, and you will understand.

It was late at night, and Ye Zi and I walked up to the cemetery.Ye Zi didn't speak along the way, and I had a premonition that the secret I was about to see was of great importance.We quickly entered the back mountain, and after climbing the hill, Ye Zi opened the courtyard door of the yin house with a key.After entering, Ye Zi brought me to the arched tombstone on the top. She squatted down and fiddled with something under the tombstone, then stood up, pushed the tombstone with her hand, and the tombstone opened like a door.Shocked, I shone in with my flashlight. Behind the pushed tombstone was a steep stone staircase. It turned out that this was a basement-style tomb.Ye Zi and I walked down shaking the flashlight. When we walked down the stone ladder, there was an iron gate, and Ye Zi still opened it with the key.I went in and shone around with the flashlight. The house was like a hole. There was a stone platform in the shape of a lotus flower in front of it. There were two depressions in the stone platform.I asked Ye Zidao behind me, where is the secret you mentioned?After asking this question, I didn't hear Ye Zi's answer. I turned around and saw that Ye Zi had long since disappeared.At the same time, I heard the sound of the iron gate being closed with a "crash".

I yelled "Wait for me" in a panic and rushed over. The iron gate was closed, and Ye Zi was standing outside the iron gate, looking at me like a tiger in a cage. She asked aloud, why?She smiled strangely and said, you want to hurt me, right?The little brother was taken away, Yang Huzi knelt down for you, your next target is me, am I right?You let me go with you, I knew you would kill me on the way.If I don't go with you, you will start in the attic. Do you think I can't think of this?Alright, now you stay here, I don’t want you to die either, there are mineral water, biscuits and other food in there, I’m going to use it for myself when I’m going to take refuge, I’ll give it to you now.

There was a "buzzing" in my mind, and my thinking was chaotic.I looked at Ye Zi and said, you misunderstood, how could I hurt you.When I came to the cemetery, I just felt that there were many secrets to be unraveled, and that there might be evil hidden in it.Now that my mission is complete, I really don't want to do anything to harm you.

Leaf leaned against the wall outside the iron gate, folded her hands on her chest and said, on the night you arrived at the cemetery, you went up to the attic to spy on me in the middle of the night. You looked in through the secondary window outside the door, and you thought Didn't I notice?That afternoon, when I saw you coming down the hill from the terrace, I thought this stranger was very strange, so I didn't go downstairs to dinner, and people thought I had gone to town.Just like that, since you still come upstairs to spy on me, I know you came here to harm me.The next morning, I slipped down from the tree outside the terrace and knocked on the courtyard door to come in. When you came to open the door, the way you looked at me was a kind of scrutiny.However, in the following days, I will fight wits and courage with you, so that you have never had a chance to make a move.Of course, I admit that you are very good at disguising, which made me fall in love with you for at least one night. Fortunately, I woke up after dawn, otherwise I would really lose my guard against you.

After listening to these words, I realized that the relationship between me and Ye Zi has been uncertain, and it turned out that she was fighting wits and courage with me.Now that the past has been messed up by her, I felt unable to explain it, so I said, I admit that I have watched you, but it was only because I was curious about your origin, and I did not mean anything malicious.Just let me out, I won't hurt you.I want you to come with me because I don't want you to stay in this ghost place. More importantly, I love you and want to live with you.

However, Ye Zi was completely unmoved by my words.She said, if you want to leave, why don't you leave early.I told you from the beginning that I had hanged people in my house, but you still came to me, and I even dressed up in black as a plum to scare you away from the cemetery, but you still didn't leave, and you kept pestering me more and more tight.You almost fooled me with your fake love.Now, you say you want to go out, can I let you go?Let you out and I'm screwed.

After Ye Zi said these words, she returned to the stone ladder.I looked up, and there was a ray of gray skylight where the tombstone opened.I shouted desperately to Ye Zi's back, Ye Ye, you can't leave me like this.However, Ye Zi went out without hesitation.The grayish-white light at the opening of the tombstone was instantly closed by the darkness.

I screamed a few times.Even when I was talking to Ye Zi through the iron fence, I didn't fully realize that I would really be thrown here.I always feel that when I talk to Ye Zi, she will open the door and let me go out.Ye Zi is a lovely girl, she will not do anything cruel.However, the result came slowly and suddenly, I didn't believe she would go, and yet she did.

When I was screaming, the flashlight had fallen to the ground, and its beam of light slanted against the cold cave wall.I picked it up desperately, and went back to the cave to take a closer look, and sure enough, I found a wooden box with mineral water and biscuits in it.I did a rough calculation, and these things can make a person live for a week.The air in the cave is not very good, but it can supply a person’s breathing capacity. The oxygen content in the air is definitely not enough. After staying for a day, people will feel dizzy, but they are still far away from death.The most important thing now is to save electricity, so I immediately turned off the flashlight.Light not only allows people to see things, more importantly, it is a support for people not to collapse in the dark.I decided to turn on the flashlight every time I panicked, so that the battery can last for a long time.

After making some simple plans according to the survival method, I leaned against the cave wall and closed my eyes.Although you are very scared and desperate, the most important thing at this time is not to scream or cry, because this will reduce your life support period by at least half after exhausting your physical energy.

Ever since I came to the cemetery, I seem to have gotten used to darkness and silence, but at this moment, under this grave, I realized what darkness and silence are.I thought about the possibility of escaping. First, Ye Zi took the initiative to release me. This is an extravagant hope. Judging from her resolute state, the possibility is very small; second, Yang Huzi also has the key in his hand, but even if he enters the private house, he has to push it away. It is also very unlikely that the tombstone opened the iron gate and walked down, otherwise Ye Zi would not have chosen this place as her temporary refuge; there is also a possibility that when the owner of the yin house came to inspect, he opened the tombstone and walked down.Or, this yin house is going to bury people, that is, Zhao Dong's parents are dead.Of course the tomb was opened.However, I shudder to think of the possibility, because when the tomb is opened, people will see that there is already a bone in the grave of the unburied.
