Urban Witcher

The ancestral tomb of Yejia Village is halfway up the mountain behind the village.

A few years ago, Ye Shaoyang came here by himself. At that time, he only asked the villagers about the flood situation, went to the graves of his grandfather and father to worship, and then left without entering the village or informing any relatives.

Since the time had not yet arrived, there was no one in the cemetery. The three of them walked through the graves and came to the graves of their grandfather and father. The two graves were side by side, and the grandfather and grandmother were buried together.

The tombstones in front of the two tombs look similar to those of many nearby tombs. When Ye Shaoyang came last time, he inquired and found out that these tombs were buried with victims of flash floods, and some of them had no descendants, so the village paid for it. , Unified burial and then erected a monument.

In front of the two graves, there are pools made of blue bricks for burning paper money, and there are still some unburned paper ashes in it.

Ye Shaoyang asked Xiaoshuai and learned that it was Ghost Festival. When Ye Jun came to visit the grave, he burned a knife of paper for the father and son. Kowtowed three times, knelt on the ground, staring at the two tombstones in a daze.

Xiao Ma didn't want to disturb him, wandered around in the cemetery by himself, ran over in a panic, and called Ye Shaoyang softly, "Little Ye Zi, it's not good"

Ye Shaoyang stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Without finishing his sentence, Xiao Ma walked between the two graves and pointed to the back of the two graves.

Because the tombstone blocked the front, he couldn't see the back of the grave, Ye Shaoyang hurried over, looked at his father's grave, and suddenly paled with shock:

My father's grave was actually wet, with some grass seedlings growing on it. Looking at my grandparents' graves, it was the same. But after passing the position where the grave slope is close to the ground, the land is dry and cracked into pieces, and there is no grass growing.

Ye Shaoyang was terrified, turned around suddenly, walked to several nearby graves, and found one or two more graves with wet and grassy tops.

Ye Shaoyang was a little confused about what was going on.

"Little Yezi, it can't be your relatives." Xiao Ma didn't finish speaking, and Ye Shaoyang immediately gave him a hard look.

"Don't talk nonsense that my dad has been dead for a few years. It's impossible to do anything. Besides, there are seven such graves here. Couldn't it be that there are seven dry cats?"

Xiao Ma scratched the back of his head and looked at him with wide eyes. It was about Ye Shaoyang's dead relatives. He didn't dare to guess wildly, let alone make jokes.

"I see," Ye Shaoyang slapped his forehead, "This is man-made, to cover up Hanba's hiding place"

Just as Xiao Ma was about to say something, there was a sound of footsteps coming down the mountain. He turned his head and saw that a group of people walked into the cemetery. The wizard walked in the middle of the villagers with crab steps, followed by his wizard assistant on the left. On the right was a man in his fifties who looked like a village cadre in a Chinese tunic suit.

"This is Ye Bo, our village chief." Xiaoshuai said in a low voice.

After this group of people walked into the cemetery, they saw the three of Ye Shaoyang with puzzled eyes on their faces.

Ye Bo naturally recognized Xiaoshuai, his eyes fell on his face, and said: "Xiaoshuai, what are you doing here, who are these two?"

Ye Shaoyang was afraid that the child would not answer well, so he revealed his secrets, and said first: "I have met the village chief. Xiaoshuai's mother is my aunt. This is my classmate. I have nothing to do in summer vacation. Let's experience life in the mountains."

The suspicion on Ye Bo's face disappeared, and he said, "Then what are you doing in the ancestral tomb?"

"This..." Ye Shaoyang scratched his head, "Xiao Shuai said that this place is haunted by ghosts, so he insisted on bringing us to look for ghosts. We are fine, just go up the mountain to take a look at the scenery."

Ye Bo glared at Xiaoshuai, "The kid is talking nonsense, what's wrong with my ancestral grave?" But the suspicion in his heart was completely dispelled.

The sorcerer and Wu Zhu looked at Ye Shaoyang coldly, but they didn't expose them, and ignored them. Wu Zhu told everyone: "Everyone look for it together, and see if there is any damp and grass on the grave, it is the lair of the drought man."

The villagers scattered and looked around, and found the seven graves easily, and reported them to the wizard.

The two sorcerers inspected them one by one with solemn faces, and after talking for a while, the sorcerer looked around at the surrounding villagers and said in a loud voice: "There are seven graves here with wet grass, and it is impossible to have seven of them, but right now the drought is prevalent. Everywhere is dry and cracked, not a single blade of grass grows, but grass grows on these seven graves. Such a strange phenomenon is not unusual.

I don't know the specific reason, but Hanba is probably hiding under one of the tombs. Now we have to dig up all seven graves to find Hanba. "

As soon as this was said, the villagers immediately started discussing. In these seven graves, many descendants of the owners of the tombs were also present and expressed their disapproval.

"This is not going to work, digging people's ancestral graves, what kind of thing is this?" shouted boldly.

"That's right, the ancestral grave is related to the fate of the family, so it can't be tampered with," someone echoed.

Ye Bo approached the mage, and said respectfully and embarrassingly: "Mr. Gu, this is not good, if you know that there is a drought under that grave, you will dig it, even dig seven graves, this"

The wizard snorted coldly, and said: "Do you think I think that digging graves is bad for morality, but in this situation, I would rather kill the wrong than let it go, and we must open the coffin for inspection."

"If there are no Hanba under the seven graves?"

"Then look for it in another village, in case there is one, but you miss it." The wizard gave Ye Bo a sideways look, "You, the village chief, can take this responsibility."

Ye Bo was speechless, pondered for a moment, looked around, and said, "I can't be the owner of this, the tomb owner's family is also here, you can discuss it yourself."

The villagers did not dare to open their mouths. After all, no one dared to open their mouths to express their opinions without being the parties involved in this kind of matter.

The descendants of those tomb owners looked at each other, and of course they didn't want their ancestral graves to be dug up, but when it was their turn to speak, no one dared to take the lead. Offend, besides, this wizard was invited by Wang Dashan, and no one wants to offend Wang Dashan.

Secondly, combating drought is a major event for the whole village or even the whole town, and no one wants to be labeled as affecting the overall situation for their own benefit.

Seeing this scene, the wizard looked around and said righteously: "Folks, it is important to respect the dead, but the lives of the living are the most important. I, Gu, would rather bear the infamy of digging people's ancestral graves, and do the same." , I only want to get rid of the drought and restore peace to the place, please cooperate."

As soon as these provocative words were uttered, everyone thought that this was indeed the case, and it was difficult to say anything, and some even nodded secretly.

Ye Bo sighed, and said: "Anyway, to excavate someone's ancestral grave, the direct descendants must agree. The descendants of these seven graves who are present will stand up first and stand in front of their ancestor's grave."
