dead body

Chapter 4: The Graveyard

Bai Banxian'er lay down with her clothes together, and wanted to have a few words with the woman, but as soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell into a drowsy sleep. I don't know how long it had passed. In a state of half-asleep and half-awake, her consciousness seemed to be somewhat clear. There are a pair of eyes, looking at him.

Patta... A drop of cold stuff fell on the face, Bai Banxian'er opened his eyes, the room was pitch black, strangely, his vision was clear, Papa... another drop, Bai Banxian'er raised his hand to wipe it, and took a look in front of him ,is blood!Instinctively looking for the source of the blood drop, he turned his head just to meet the back of his head.

Wearing a dark blue robe, white sleeves dragging on the ground, and blue-purple soles... Bai Banxian was horrified to find that what he saw was not the back of the head, but the face was covered by messy hair, where the blood came from. dripping from the silk.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

He was woken up by the intermittent mourning and music, and when he left the courtyard, the cold mountain wind blew his whole body into a shudder. The funeral procession came this way. Ximei's coffin was less than seven days old, but she died at such a young age. After death, the body was incomplete, and there were many taboos in the village, so it had to be buried in advance.The bearded man was dressed in mourning, his eyes were dull as if he had lost his soul, his hands were covering the red lacquered coffin lid, paper money was flying all over the sky, and the low-pitched mourning and joy, a group of people passed by the door, and they all walked a long way The bearded man suddenly turned around Turning his head, he grinned at Bai Banxian'er, his smile was stiff, like a corpse, until the funeral procession disappeared at the end of the mountain road, Bai Banxian'er didn't slow down.

The bearded man walks stiffly...the whole person looks weird...

Nightmare again and again, dizzy, Bai Banxian rubbed his temples and was walking towards the yard, remembering the time when the bearded man left, he went back to the room and saw someone standing at the door, almost subconsciously looking at the ground After a glance, there was a pool of half-dried water stains.

On this day, Bai Banxian'er was very preoccupied. He hammered the nail several times and hit his finger with a small hammer. He always felt that he was entangled in something unclean.The sun was about to set, and Bai Banxian was just about to cook when the woman who had been sitting in a daze since she got up came out of the house.

Seeing that she was carrying a burden on her back, Bai Banxian said: "It's getting dark, where are you going, Miss?"

The woman pointed to the northwest corner without saying a word.

Bai Banxian'er said: "It's not too late to go on the road. Something might come out of the dark woods, it's not scary to death."

The woman didn't take it seriously and said, "It's okay!"

Bai Banxian'er said: "Why don't you leave after dinner?"

The woman ignored him, she seemed determined to leave, Bai Banxian said: "Wait a minute." Yubi went into the house, found a clean cloth, wrapped around a dozen large pancakes and a small compass, and the only buckskin water bag I also donated it, and handed it to the woman, saying: "You can eat it on the way, you put this water bag away, look at the green hills, and the mountain springs are not so easy to find."

The woman didn't speak, she glanced at the ugly baggage lightly, and accepted it.

"I'll send it to you."

The two of them walked quite a distance along the path, and there were paper money scattered during the day in the grass nest beside the road. Seeing that they left the village, the few scattered houses that lived in very remote places had passed by, and there were no other houses any further. .Bai Banxian'er stopped, handed the lantern to the woman, and said, "I'll take you here!"

The woman glanced at him inadvertently, and Bai Banxian was surprised to find that the woman's eyes were green, like the rippling blue waves of midsummer pink lotus, looking bright and charming.Looking at the back of the woman going away, Bai Banxian was stunned for a while, and when the figure of the woman disappeared into the twilight, Bai Banxian groaned and remembered that she still didn't know her name.

In the dark, beasts come out, can she handle it as a woman?Although Bai Banxian'er felt that she could kill the cow with one punch, she was still worried about her, and walked back along the way she came, turning back every step, and turning back every two steps, feeling a little bit reluctant.

A series of crisp bells sounded, and the mist started at some point. Under the mist, shadowy figures came towards this side. After a while, the distance narrowed. Black gauze, with light steps, not like walking on the ground, more like floating, without feeling alive.

After seeing clearly that one of the men in black was carrying a flag on his shoulders, Bai Banxian turned around and ran, and stopped to catch his breath when he reached the small river at the head of the village.After crossing the river, there are deep mountains and old forests. Unless he is a seasoned hunter, whether he can come out of the mountains after entering the mountains is the same thing.

Bai Banxian'er looked at the way he came, misty mist, although he didn't see the shadows of the men in black carrying the paper streamers, but he always felt that there was something hidden in the dense mist, Bai Banxian'er wandered by the river, thinking Which road should I take to detour into the village?Suddenly, there was crying and crying under the small wooden bridge, so what happened?Bai Banxian'er picked up a stone egg and held it in his hand, looked under the wooden bridge, and saw a man squatting beside the grass nest, his shoulders trembling, and he was sobbing and crying sadly.

Who is this?

Bai Banxian'er threw the stone towards the river bank, splashed a lot of water, and shouted, "Huh? What are you doing under the bridge?"

The man turned around, didn't know if he didn't stand still or something, fell into the river, and climbed up from the river, trembling and paralyzed, Bai Banxian thought, this man... looks familiar! ! !

When this person walked up to him, he didn't look familiar. Isn't this his second disciple?

Bai Banxian'er was a little puzzled, and said: "What are you... doing here?" Still crying.

Erbai shrunk his neck, cried and twitched, and it took him a long time to say, "Laifu is lost."

"……"Blessing?Isn't that the donkey that made great contributions to his family?Bai Banxian frowned, and said, "The donkey is lost?"

Erbai trembled even more, and at any moment he looked like a bear who was about to faint from fright. Back then when the senior brother knocked over the dried salted fish that the master had dried, his master held a kitchen knife in one hand and chased the senior brother around the village for three days. In the circle, while chasing and cursing, I want to chop my senior brother into meat paste, although my senior brother is still a senior brother, I didn't turn into meat paste, but I saw blood that day, and my senior brother can only get out of bed after three months of retreat.

Erbai wiped his nose with his sleeve, choked and said, "I lost it, I just ran away and disappeared."

Bai Banxian: "Didn't you chase after?"

Erbai cried, "I can't catch up."

Bai Banxian'er: "When did you run away without a trace?"

Erbai cried, "I took it out in the morning and ran away."

That's over, I've lost it for a day, who knows who will be blessed with this blessing.Bai Banxian slapped his head angrily, and said: "Tell me about you, let you let go of a donkey, and the donkey is lost, so is there any use in crying? You should be thrown away with the donkey!!!"

Jingle bells... ethereal and crisp bells...

Bai Banxian'er's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively wanted to turn around to confirm the situation, her wrist hurt, and when she realized it, Erbai was grabbing his wrist and running away!I don't know the direction, no matter whether there is a pit in front of me, I go on a rampage.

"Oh..." The tree branch swept across his face, his face was burning with pain, Bai Banxian'er shouted: "Stop...stop..."

Erbai has selective deafness, the tree beside him is getting thicker and thicker, with more and more branches in disorder, Bai Banxian has an ominous premonition.Just being dragged like this, Erbai's hands were desperate, Bai Banxian'er didn't break free, when Erbai stopped, the sky was full of stars, and he couldn't see his fingers.

Erbai was panting like a cow, Bai Banxian'er collapsed to the ground, it took about half an hour to catch his breath, his throat was smoking, leaning on the soil slope, he took out the torch from his arms, and scratched on the ground in the dark Broken branches, the fire lit up, and the sight became clear.

"Ah!" Erbai ghost yelled.

Bai Banxian'er was so frightened that he shuddered, dropped the fire folder, and said angrily, "What's it called? Tired of work? Don't make a sound! Let me tell you, there's everything in this mountain, don't lure things here." Picking up the fire folder Just as he was about to put it in his arms, he saw that there was still a piece of paper between his fingers, and he leaned closer to the fire to see that the paper money was burned in the grave.

Bai Banxian stood up and let out a howl, one after another the earthen bumps covered with weeds, and the paper flags were swaying.Erbai covered his mouth, his face turned pale, and he looked behind Bai Banxian'er in horror.

"..." Bai Banxian shrank her neck, and slowly turned her head. There was a person sitting on the third tomb in the southwest, looking towards them.Bai Banxian'er's heart was about to jump out of her throat. When she saw the man, she let out a long sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Girl, I was almost scared to death by you."

The one who sat on the grave was the fairy who spent the night at his house.

"What are you doing here?" the woman asked.

"..." Yes, what is he doing here?Where is this?

Bai Banxian tore off the hem of his clothes, tied it to a wooden stick, and made a simple torch. place.

This is the graveyard!

Not only in this village, but in neighboring villages, people are buried here when old people are old. The area of ​​the cemetery is terrifying, and it is gloomy during the daytime.

"Erbai, Erbai, you've really grown!" Pulling Master to jump into the fire pit, Bai Banxian breathed out, and said, "Wait until dawn, this cemetery is huge, it's fun to get lost here."

As soon as the words fell, something hit Bai Banxian's head, and it was a big pancake. Bai Banxian raised the corners of his mouth, threw the big pancake to Erbai, and jumped to the woman's side in two steps, just about to say we It was fate, the woman spoke first and said, "Hurry up and leave after eating."

"..." The fairy is right, the cemetery is so cloudy, it's really not appropriate to stay overnight, "We'll leave after he eats, that's right..." Started the vulgar conversation mode, "Girl, what's your name?"

The woman looked indifferent and ignored him.

Bai Banxian'er didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said to herself, "The girl's name must be nice."

Obviously the woman was not interested in him at all, she was even a little cold, and said, "You should go." The woman stood up.

Bai Banxian'er suddenly felt a little lost, with an empty heart, went back to the fire, picked up the torch, the woman disappeared into the darkness after a few steps, Bai Banxian pulled Erbai up, and walked at night without looking back, as soon as he turned around, the lamp on his shoulders disappeared. After extinguishing one lamp, Xie Chong dared to get close to him, and he restrained himself not to turn his head to look in the direction where the fairy disappeared.

Walking through the graves, there is a lot of grass growing on the graves. Unless there are special days, there are few people walking around here. The grass on the ground is almost knee-high. .

The surrounding area was surprisingly quiet, there was not even a bird chirping, and Bai Banxian'er walked in front of her in a dull manner.Suddenly, Erbai, who was walking at the end, stopped. Maybe it was because the environment was too weird, almost as soon as Erbai stopped, Bai Banxian'er noticed it.As soon as he turned around, he saw Erbai facing a tombstone motionless, his eyes were staring straight, Bai Banxian'er's heart was beating two beats fast, what's wrong with him?Bewitched?

Bai Banxian frowned and walked carefully to Erbai's side, and then noticed the grave. What does it mean that the grave is as tall as ten feet tall?This is the one in front of me. It looks like a deserted tomb that has not been taken care of for many years. This tomb has a large earth bag, more than the other two, and it is likely to be a joint burial.Although the tombstone also looks weather-beaten, it is well preserved and is definitely a good stone.

Bai Banxian'er stretched out his hand to pull Erbai away, but Erbai tried his best and refused to leave. You pull me like a mountain, pointing to the tombstone and said, "It's a pity to die at only 21 years old!"

From the moment he opened his mouth, Bai Banxian'er knew it was over!You can suffocate to death without taking a breath, right?In this kind of place, the biggest taboo is talking nonsense, because it will be heard, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional, and it is very likely to entangle. Believe it or not.

Erbai asked stupidly: "Master, why is the tomb of Fourteen engraved on this tombstone? Why is there no surname?"

Bai Banxian'er: "Why don't you carve a surname?"

Erbai: "Huh?"

"Ah what?" Bai Banxian'er raised his hand and patted Erbai's head, "Hurry up! From now on, you can't talk!"

Bai Banxian snorted coldly with a black face, and walked ahead, wondering inwardly, Erbai was absolutely illiterate, and the owner of the tombstone on the tombstone was indeed engraved as the tomb of the fourteenth year, and the death year was twenty-one, blind?Bai Banxian was thinking about something for a while, Erbai did another thing, he took out the big pancake from his clothes, broke it in half, left half on the grave, and put the other half in the bag again, Bai Banxian I didn't see it at all.

After walking forward for a long time, I was sweating all over, and there was a crooked neck tree in front of me.Under the crooked neck tree, there are several graves, which are the final destination of the Bai family. There is a large open space in front of the new grave, and there is no grass. It looks very abrupt. The grave of their ancestors named Bai is in The depths of this cemetery.

It's not easy to get out!Bai Banxian'er knelt down in front of a new grave, beckoned Erbai Shunbian to hand him the torch, and said, "Take out the big pancake just now, I saw you didn't eat it."

Erbai took out the remaining half of the pancake, Bai Banxian was stunned for a moment, she clearly saw that Erbai hid the whole pancake, her mouth was so quick, when did she eat it?Bai Banxian put the cake in front of the grave, kowtowed and muttered, "Old man, you have to bless the disciple to get out of here, if I scare you, no one will send you paper money to the grave, you will die of poverty..." and so on so...

Erbai trembled, looking around.

Bai Banxian stood up, and Erbai took the torch and walked around the grave in two steps, only to see the torch flicker, and with a bang, silly Bai disappeared.

"..."

Bai Banxian hurried forward a few steps, two whites lay sprawled in the pit, by the light of the torch, only half of the old man's grave was left with soil, the other half was planed, and the entire coffin in the grave was exposed. out.My God, this is the tomb robbery?This tomb robber has to cry, the old man is poor, the only valuable thing is the clothes he has been reluctant to wear!

Erbai grinned and crawled out of the pit, this time the fall was not light, when he came up, Bai Banxian thought it would be dawn to go up the hill to fill in the grave, the coffin lid unexpectedly moved a three-inch wide gap.Bai Banxian frowned. Recently, someone who stole the corpse bravely jumped into the pit, stepped on the earthen teeth beside the pit, and called Er Bai down as well, wanting to open the coffin to see if the old man's corpse was there.The two of them worked together to lift the coffin, and the moment the coffin lid was opened, a pale face appeared.

The dead man in the coffin had a handsome appearance.

"Ahhhhh..." Erbai screamed miserably.

Bai Banxian'er's legs trembled in fright, and Erbai yelled, "Xiaoxiaoxiao...he...he laughed...he laughed..."

Bai Banxian saw that white and bluish face, the corners of his lips were raised, and his closed eyes opened... Bai Banxian was facing those dark eyes.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" This time it was Bai Banxian'er.

It was an uneventful night.
