Chapter 005 Eight Years of Acupuncture
Affected by obsessions during life, the behavior of ghosts is generally predictable. Even evil spirits will follow certain rules in their actions.
But my third uncle's mother was completely different, which aroused a slight curiosity in me.
The phone was hung up after the scream rang. I found a hoe in the yard, pried open the door, and rushed to the second floor.
The tragedy I expected did not happen.
In the bedroom on the second floor, the village chief sat in front of the closet, sweating profusely, with his back firmly blocking the closet door.
There was no sign of the third uncle or his mother in the room.
"Village Chief, are you okay?"
The village chief shook his head and looked at me with a very strange look.
"They're gone."
I was stunned for a moment, subconsciously guessing whether the other party was deliberately attracting me here again, and then doing something else.
However, the village chief's next words made me dumbfounded.
The village chief said quietly: "Xiaolong, do you know your grandfather?"
"My grandfather?"
The village chief stood up holding on to the wardrobe with a complicated expression: "My aunt came to me not because she wanted to hurt me, but to tell me something."
I frowned. The old aunt probably meant the third uncle's mother, but a floating corpse not only did no harm to anyone, but also came to communicate with people. This really made me confused.
But as the saying goes, ghosts often tell lies, and ghosts often cannot be believed.
I opened my mouth and said: "Village Chief, what ghosts say..."
Before he finished speaking, the village chief waved his hand to interrupt and said: "Xiaolong, your grandfather stopped moving graves for others eight years ago, you know."
I nodded, and something suddenly moved in my heart.
Third uncle’s mother passed away six years ago. At that time, my grandfather had cut off his own hand and stopped moving graves. But why did he help third uncle’s mother to be buried?
I suddenly discovered that I didn't know my grandfather as well as I thought.
The village chief continued: "But in the past eight years, every year your grandfather would take the initiative to find a family and help them perform acupuncture. Out of trust in him, no one refused.
7 years ago it was Dawei's family at the entrance of the village, 6 years ago it was your third uncle's family, 5 years ago it was your second uncle's family, 4 years ago it was my family, 3 years ago it was Dazhuang's family, 2 years ago it was Zhang Lei's family, 1 year
It was He Tao's house before, but this year it was your grandfather who tapped the acupuncture points for himself.
Each of these holes is a grave upon a grave."
"ah!"
I opened my mouth wide and shook my head subconsciously.
The village chief's expression became a little ferocious: "Xiaolong, our village has not treated your family badly. In order to save you, your grandfather said hello, and the villagers were so busy that they even dug up the grave. But
Why did your grandfather do this?"
"Impossible, village chief. My grandfather is not that kind of person. There must be something wrong with it. By the way, someone wants to harm my grandfather. That person planted a locust tree in front of the third uncle's mother's grave. The village chief...
..."
The village chief waved his hands and didn't give me a chance to explain. He said to himself: "Back then, everyone felt strange about the affairs of Dawei's family. How could such a good family die like this?
You, Da Weiwei, are the first famous college students in the village. Dawei's grandparents, even in their 70s, have not left the village. The furthest they have gone is to the town for the market.
After finally waiting for Dawei to graduate and make money, he took his family out to see the world, but he got into a car accident.
Now it's your third uncle's turn, Xiaolong, how cruel your grandfather is."
I said nothing, my mind was racing rapidly.
Is the village chief lying? I don’t think so. This lie can be easily proven. Whether grandpa has performed acupoints on people and whether those acupoints are on graves can be easily verified.
But why did grandpa do this?
In eight years, eight graves were lit and visited.
Looking at the village chief's sad expression, I said seriously: "Village Chief, I will solve all this. I believe that my grandfather would not do such things just to harm everyone. If he did these things, he would definitely
There is a reason."
"The reason?" The village chief laughed like a night owl: "Of course there is a reason, it's all because of you, because of the grave that cannot be dug."
Liu Jie!
A name appeared in my mind, and I was about to ask, but the village chief waved his hand and said: "You go, I will ask the villagers to move the graves tomorrow. These eight graves must be moved, and your grandfather's grave is among them. You can move it."
Let’s go, don’t be buried in the village.”
"Village Chief, it is impossible for my grandfather to harm everyone. It will be even more dangerous if the grave is moved rashly without finding out the reason."
"Isn't it enough for Dawei's family? Do you have to kill everyone in the village? Xiaolong, let's go, my aunt has gone to find someone else, and everyone will know the truth. I'm still restrained, but it's hard to tell the other people in the village. In the end,
It’s good that you move your grandfather’s grave overnight tonight, otherwise I don’t know what will happen.”
The village chief no longer gave me a chance to speak and forcibly kicked me out of the house.
It was already one o'clock in the morning, and several screams rang out in the village.
It should be that the third uncle and his mother went to other people's homes.
I didn't go looking for them and went to the back mountain again.
It wasn't until five o'clock in the morning that I returned to the main room.
The light was on in the main room, and when she saw me returning, the third aunt asked me repeatedly.
I muttered a few words, sat down on the lounge chair, and looked at the open door.
Time passed little by little, and when the first ray of light appeared in the sky, the village chief rushed into the yard with a group of people.
Each of them had fear and anger on their faces, and the veins on their hands holding the tools were clearly visible.
I looked up at these familiar faces and suddenly laughed.
One night, I wanted to wait for my third uncle's mother to show up, but she didn't show up.
But this night, I understood what my grandfather was doing.
Without waiting for the village chief and others to speak, I said, "Village chief, uncles and elders, have you ever heard of Bafang Suppressing Evil?"
"Listen, screw this, there are no such people in our village."
"Yes, dig his grave and throw the body out to feed the dogs."
...
The crowd was furious, and many people were eager to try and step forward.
I kept smiling and looked at the village chief.
The village chief is very prestigious in the village. Compared with the angry villagers, he also maintains a rare sense of reason despite his anger.
Just when everyone could no longer bear it, the village chief finally raised his hand to stop everyone.
"Xiaolong, I can give you half a day to move your grandfather's grave..."
"Village Chief, do you know about Bafang Zhenxie?" I interrupted the village chief.
The village chief's face was livid: "I haven't heard of it, and I don't plan to listen. If you don't move your grandfather's grave, don't blame us."
I still said calmly: "I was very surprised after hearing what you said yesterday, so I went to check several other tombs overnight. Except for one tomb that I couldn't find, the other seven tombs were indeed all on top of tombs.
pattern.
But why did my grandfather do this?
Village Chief, believe it or not, as a bone picker it is not that troublesome to harm people. Even if I am not good at learning, I would not use such a stupid method that is time-consuming and labor-intensive. But why would my grandfather use it?
My grandfather did not want to harm people, but to save them, because the tombs above and below the eight tombs were all the same, and the eight tombs simultaneously covered one grave, the one whose owner had fingers as slender as jade.
