Chapter 17 Digging graves and stealing corpses

Hu Zi and I walked on a narrow path leading to the back mountain. The path was very narrow, with small trees and waist-high wormwood on both sides. The night wind blew, and the weeds and trees swayed, making a rustling sound. In the swaying wormwood, there was a rustling sound coming from the grass from time to time, as if something was drilling in and out of the grass.

Walking on such a narrow path in the middle of the night, even I was a little scared, let alone Hu Zi who was carrying a corpse.

It was already past two in the night, the time when yin and yang alternate, the darkest and heaviest yin energy. It would be a lie to say that I wasn't afraid.

Hu Zi walked slowly, turning his head from time to time to look around. His clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Obviously, he was extremely nervous.

"Qian Yu, it's so stuffy, the sweat in my crotch can feed fish, how about you give me the shovel, can you help me carry the body for a while?"

I was carrying a shovel and clearing the way in front, Hu Zi followed closely behind me, and when he heard what he said, he immediately stopped and said, "Okay, but if a yellow fox suddenly jumps out from the bushes, don't blame me for not coming to save you."

"Oh my god!" Hu Zi cursed, and then said, "Go, go, hurry up, damn it, if I had known that the old lady was a yellow fox, I would not care about her even if you beat me to death."

I smiled when I heard it, thinking to myself, now you know the consequences of your bad mouth, right? But it's too late.

Liu Laohan's grave is not in the graveyard on the back mountain, but in a small forest not far behind the graveyard. The master said that the feng shui of Liu Laohan's ancestral grave is not good, so the three sons of Liu Laohan's generation are all evil people. It is obviously impossible to change the character of these three people. We can only hope that their descendants will not continue to harm the village like their fathers.

So the master specially pointed out a lucky spot for Liu Laohan, but the master never taught me the art of feng shui, so I don't know much about feng shui. Anyway, if the master says there is a lucky spot, then it must be.

After walking for more than ten minutes, we finally arrived at the back mountain. Looking up, we saw ghost lights floating in the distance. The ghost lights were very strange, wandering in the cemetery, just like a pair of eyes, watching the people who came late at night.

"Qian Yu, let's... go around it? This is too scary." Hu Zi paused and said breathlessly while carrying the corpse.

But I shook my head and said, "We always go to the back mountain, and we have to pass by here every time. What's so scary? Besides, the only way to go around is to take the path on the shady slope, which is too steep."

I didn't continue, because Hu Zi's parents took the shortcut on the shady slope on a rainy day and fell off the cliff.

Hu Zi didn't say anything, just stood behind me panting, and after a long time he said, "Let's go."

I nodded and continued to walk along the path.

But after walking for a while, I suddenly stopped, then raised my hand and made a gesture to Hu Zi. .7

"What's wrong?" Hu Zi looked puzzled, but I frowned and asked, "Did you hear any sound?"

"Sound?" Hu Zi looked around, then shook his head and said, "No, Qian Yu, don't scare me."

I didn't say anything, but frowned and listened carefully for a while.

The sound was intermittent and appeared from time to time, as if someone was shoveling soil with a shovel, but who would come here to shovel soil in the middle of the night?

"Could it be that the yellow-skinned man is robbing the cave?"

Because of the wind, I couldn't hear where the sound came from. After hesitating for a while, I said to Hu Zi, "Walk lightly and don't talk."

Hu Zi nodded, and then the two of us continued to move forward carefully.

However, when Hu Zi and I were only more than ten meters away from the cemetery, I stopped again.

This time, the sound was clearer, and I could hear that the sound of shoveling soil came from the cemetery.

I shuddered in my heart, thinking that there would be no one like me, digging in the cemetery, right?

Could it be a grave robber?

But it's impossible. Our village is so poor that the clanging

of bells and gongs is a big deal. Let alone burial objects, the living have just been fed and well-fed. Who has nothing to do and would come to this remote cemetery to rob graves? Just as I was puzzled, Hu Zi behind me suddenly poked me. I turned my head to look at him, and then I saw Hu Zi with his eyes wide open, pointing in the direction of the cemetery.

I turned around and looked in the direction of Hu Zi's finger, and then my whole body tensed up, and cold sweat came down.

I saw that in the dark cemetery dotted with ghost lights, a dark shadow was wandering in the cemetery. He was very tall, and at this moment he was holding something in his hand and shoveling soil everywhere.

"Qian Yu, is that... a human or a ghost?" Hu Zi looked panicked, and I was a little nervous. I swallowed subconsciously and said, "I don't know."

The black shadow was still walking in the grave, poking and shoveling with the things in his hands from time to time, as if he was choosing a grave. In the moonlight, I saw that the black shadow was holding a shovel.

"Qian Yu, he seems to be digging a grave." Hu Zi said with a pale face.

Hu Zi was right. At this moment, the dark clouds had dispersed, and the moonlight that was originally covered had been revealed. In the moonlight, I saw that the figure was holding a shovel and digging a grave that didn't look very old.

But why did this figure want to dig a grave?

Could it be stealing corpses?

I have heard from my master before that some people specialize in digging new graves, stealing corpses, and selling their organs.

But that must be people who have just died. But in our village, apart from Liu Laohan, no one has died recently, and the grave that the figure dug has been dead for more than three months.

In three months, according to the current temperature, it would have rotted beyond recognition. What is the value of digging such a grave?

The black figure dug the grave very quickly, and it seemed that he was an old hand. He dug the top of the grave in no time, and a blood-red coffin immediately appeared.

Under the moonlight, the coffin shone with a strange light. Even though we were far away, Hu Zi and I were nervous and our hearts were chilled. But the black shadow seemed to have no fear. It jumped directly into the grave and used the iron shovel in its hand to pry open the coffin lid.

Then we heard a "creaking" sound, and the coffin lid was pried open by the black shadow with the iron shovel in his hand.

"Fuck, what on earth is this guy trying to do?" Hu Zi squatted behind me and said in a trembling voice, "Could it be... some special quirk?"

I shook my head and thought, what kind of quirk could it be? The corpse in the coffin must be rotten and incomplete. Even if it really has some quirks, it shouldn't be so perverted.

When the lid of the coffin was pried open, the black shadow stuck the shovel into the soil beside it, and then, under the astonished gaze of Hu Zi and me, the black shadow actually jumped directly into the coffin.

"Oh my god, did I really get it right?" Hu Zi's face was pale, and his Adam's apple kept moving. It was obvious that he had imagined some kind of picture in his mind, and he was trying hard not to vomit it out.

After a few minutes, I saw the shadow crawling out of the coffin, and on his back there was a sack, which was bulging, and I didn't know what was in it.

"Could it be a grave robber? But... there can't be any burial objects in this grave?"

I was suspicious, and at this time, the shadow had already picked up the iron shovel and walked towards us.

I looked around, and then told Hu Zi to hide first. After that, the two of us dragged Liu Laohan's body into the grass beside the road.

The two of us squatted in the grass, carefully parted the wormwood and looked out.

The shadow was holding a shovel and carrying a sack. He was walking towards us along the path.

He was very strong and his steps were steady even with the sack on his back. At this moment, he had just reached the place where Hu Zi and I were hiding.

Hu Zi and I hurriedly held our breath, fearing that we would be discovered by the shadow. However, when the shadow passed by the path in front of us, our eyes widened instantly.

In the moonlight, I saw that the man carrying the sack was actually... Liu Lao San.
