There was some noise in the backyard, which alerted Mrs Li. She went out to Xiangdong with a lantern to check, but thought of what the strange man said in the morning, she was still a bit nervous.
"Bah, there are so many things that gods talk about in the world. Don't frighten yourself." She could not help thinking to herself, as if this could add some peace of mind to herself.
She pressed the lantern against the branches in the yard and looked inside. There was nothing in it. She breathed a sigh of relief and was ready to turn back to sleep.
But I stumbled at the beginning.
"What is this thing?" She took the lantern and shone at the things under her feet. When she saw it clearly, her pupils could not help shrinking back, and her face became pale.
A sachet, a very worn sachet, if others may not know, but she knows better than anyone. When the old man was buried, she put the sachet in the coffin herself. The old man liked the little aunt most, so in order to comfort him, the old man asked her to put the sachet that belonged to the little aunt in the coffin.
She quickly judged in her head that it could not be missed when moving the grave, because the observation was never carried into Zhang's residence. It can't be that the servants who move the graves are not clean. No one will go along with something worthless or dead. It's too unlucky. Then she remembered the sound and the words of the young strange man, and felt a chill on her back.
No, you must report this to the master.
"... Master, that's the way it is." Mrs Li told Master Zhang exactly what happened.
"Well, I know, go down." Master Zhang frowned and said to himself, "I'll see if you are a ghost or a human being."
"Someone." With Master Zhang's summons, two servants came in.
"Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?"
"You two should go to the Yizhuang immediately to check the situation of the old man," Zhang Chuanzhong (the old man) ordered.
"Yes, sir." They quickly left.
As the servant retreated, Zhang Chuanzhong took a few steps back and forth, then turned to the table, opened the box on it, and there was a talisman like thing folded from yellow paper.
Zhang Chuanzhong put the amulet in his arms, and an overly young face appeared in his mind.
When he was young, his family was very well off. Under his hard work, he is now one of the richest families in Taiping Town. When he was rich, he naturally wanted to find a geomantic treasure land for his father, hoping to bless his family for a longer time. For this, he took great pains to find a Taoist priest, and it took him several years to find a treasure land.
Today was the day when he lifted the coffin for his father. However, a young man appeared and told him that the coffin was full of evil spirit and easy to die. It was suggested that he should be cremated immediately. Of course, he could not listen to the other side's one-sided statement. When the other side saw that he did not believe what he said, he asked him to open the coffin and bask in the sun.
Let people expose the bones of their ancestors. I'm afraid someone else has beaten the other person out of chaos. However, Zhang Chuanzhong has also seen the world. He has traveled south and north, and knows that some people in the Jianghu have some strange skills. For example, the Taoist Priest Wang he found before is a person with strange skills. The young man doesn't look like such an expert at present, but he is also unwilling to offend the other party. He gives the other party some money and lets the other party leave, The young man left this sign for him when he left.
Taoist Priest Wang went out and did not return. The date of grave removal has been determined. But he also had a long mind. He stopped the body in the Yizhuang Village and took the talisman with him.
A flurry of footsteps interrupted his meditation. Looking around, it was the two servants who had been sent to see the Yizhuang.
Just looking at the flustered steps of the other side, Zhang Chuanzhong felt a sense of uncertainty.
"Master, it's not a good thing. It's gone. They are all dead." The other side almost came running.
Zhang Chuanzhong grabbed the other person's arm and lifted him up: "What is missing, dead, speak clearly, speak slowly."
"Yes, yes, old man and master." Seeing that the other side was still like this, Zhang Chuanzhong put the other side on the ground, pointed to another servant and said, "Come on."
This servant is much calmer than the one just now.
"Tell the master that we went to the villa and knocked for a long time, but no one answered, but we couldn't delay the master's order, so we decided to climb over the wall and go in." The servant swallowed saliva, It seemed that we saw something terrible: "After we went in, we kept calling people, but it was very quiet inside. We went to the inner hall and found the old man's coffin was opened and his body was missing. So we went to the backyard and found the dead man."
"Who died?" Zhang Chuanzhong couldn't help asking.
"They are all dead. The Wang Bo who guarded the village and his son, as well as the two brothers you asked to stay in the village."
"How did you die?"
The servant shook his head in fear and said, "I don't know, but I saw blood everywhere."
On second thoughts, Zhang Chuanzhong thought that it would be good for normal people not to be scared to pee their pants under such circumstances.
"Ask some people to go to the Yizhuang Village with me."
Soon Zhang Chuanzhong arrived at the Yizhuang Village with a group of people.
Two servants turned in and opened the door for him to enter.
Zhang Chuanzhong glanced at it roughly. It was no different from coming in during the day. He went straight to his father's coffin. As the servant said, the coffin lid fell to the ground, the body in the coffin had disappeared, and the other bodies beside it were completely normal.
Hurry to the backyard. A long way away, there were four corpses lying on the ground. There was a lot of blood on the ground, but it was not as exaggerated as my servant said. Other people hesitated to come forward. Zhang Chuanzhong didn't care. He went forward to look at the corpses himself.
He traveled far and wide, and only a few corpses were far from enough to frighten him.
The turning made his face pale, and the corpse was still soft. It should not be too long to die. The corpse was slightly shriveled. There were two large holes on the neck, and a little blood was slowly seeping out. In addition, a large piece of meat on the neck of the corpse had disappeared, which was like encountering some big beast. However, this node is easy to associate with other things.
"These people were all killed by beasts. Take some of them and cremate them. The others will go back with me first."
When Zhang Chuanzhong returned home, he became more and more upset. He remembered that the strange young man said that after the death, the first thing to be unlucky was his blood relatives. He felt a little scared. So he called two people to say, "A wild animal ran down the mountain and killed people. Everyone should be alert." After saying that, he added anxiously: "We must check all corners of the yard tonight, and never let wild animals sneak in."
