My third uncle and I set out early in the morning and arrived in the village in the afternoon.

Eight years have passed, and the village has not changed much. There are only a few more tombs in the back hill where people are buried.

After bringing Liu Jie's spiritual tablet to the offering table in the main room and offering incense, my third uncle and I went up the mountain.

The third uncle's mother was also buried in the back hill. There was a locust tree growing in the middle of the small grave, like a big green umbrella, covering the whole grave.

Seeing this scene, I looked a little ugly.

"Third uncle, why is this locust tree so big?"

The third uncle looked at the locust tree and shook his head: "This, I don't know this either?"

I frowned and hesitated.

A tree growing over a tomb means that this place is a good cave with prosperous feng shui, indicating wealth and prosperity for future generations.

However, if the tree is too thick or has thorns and completely covers the cemetery, it means that the humidity here is heavy and the root system is developed, which may damage the golden altar (coffin) and be detrimental to future generations.

Plus this is a locust tree.

Sophora japonica trees are yin, which is even more detrimental to children and grandchildren. Not only are they prone to physical problems, but they can also affect family fortunes and even lead to the death of heirs.

Of course, this is just a Feng Shui saying.

In my opinion, heavy moisture means that the third uncle's mother is most likely not yet rotten, or even soaked by moisture, turning into a real floating corpse. In addition, the locust tree is like an umbrella, blocking the skylight, and the Yin Qi gathers, which is extremely

It's possible that Uncle San's mother has turned into a vicious spirit.

The floating corpse cannot move, and the evil spirit cannot move.

I made two taboos at once.

I shook my head and said to my third uncle: "Third uncle, the grave cannot be moved. At noon tomorrow, ask a few young people who are very angry to chop down this locust tree first. Remember to cut off the roots."

"Then what? Can we move the grave?"

I didn't understand why Uncle San was so persistent in moving the tomb. Hearing this, he continued to shake his head and said, "It can't be moved. The locust tree has accumulated too much yin energy, and it won't dissipate in a year and a half."

"But the ground has been prepared and the well has been dug. This..."

"That's not OK."

I firmly refused.

The third uncle wanted to say something else, but the corners of his mouth moved, and finally he just nodded.

After descending from the back mountain, I went to visit the elders in the village.

When I saw it was dinner time and my third uncle didn't show up, I felt a little strange.

We had agreed on the way to have dinner at my third uncle's house, but there was no movement at this time. Could it be that I was angry because I didn't move the grave?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a middle-aged woman wearing dark cloth hurriedly looking for me.

I also know this person, she is third uncle's wife, third aunt.

Seeing me, the third aunt shouted from a distance: "Xiaolong, Xiaolong, go and see your third uncle."

"What's wrong with Third Uncle?"

I went out to welcome her, and when I saw the third aunt clearly, my heart skipped a beat.

The third aunt was sweating profusely, and no part of her body was clean. Her hands and clothes were red, as if they were stained with mud mixed with blood.

After hearing what I said, the third aunt urged me to leave quickly, and said in a tearful tone: "Didn't you ask your third uncle to chop down the tree tomorrow? Your third uncle saw that it was still early, so he pulled me up the back mountain.

But within a few cuts, the locust tree began to bleed from the place where it was cut.

I stopped at that time, but your third uncle was stubborn and cut down the tree forcefully.

Who knew that when the tree fell, your third uncle also fell down, and you couldn’t wake him up no matter how you screamed."

"What are you doing? Third uncle has helped my grandpa so many times. Don't you know what can and cannot be done?"

When I heard the third aunt's words, I suddenly became angry.

The third aunt did not dare to refute, so she could only scold her husband and urge me to hurry up.

When I ran to the back mountain, there were already many people gathered around the mountain.

Seeing me, the crowd hurriedly made way for a passage.

Passing through the crowd, I clearly saw that the locust tree that grew on my third uncle's mother's grave had fallen to one side, and blood-like liquid was still oozing out from where it was cut.

The incense candle in front of the grave has not been extinguished, but it seems that it has been suppressed and only a big flame remains.

The third uncle was lying on the path next to him, unconscious.

I looked at Third Aunt and asked: "Third Aunt, apart from you and Third Uncle, who else has cut down trees?"

"No, no, it's just the two of us, Xiaolong, please look at your third uncle."

I nodded and walked forward to check.

Although the third uncle was unconscious, the muscles in his whole body were tense and his eyes were moving rapidly under his closed eyelids.

I found a silver needle from the tools left by my grandfather and inserted it into my third uncle's fingers. Immediately, the same red liquid as on the broken part of the locust tree seeped out along the silver needle.

I slowly turned the silver needle until the muscles in Third Uncle's body relaxed, and then I wiped the sweat from my head and said, "Uncle Third is fine, he will wake up in the morning."

After taking a look at the tomb, I continued: "Please do me a favor and cover the tomb with a black cloth. Do not let the moonlight shine on it. Then everyone goes home and locks the door. No matter what happens tonight, don't

Go out."

Although I rarely come back, everyone in the village knows that I learned the bone picker's trade from my grandfather, and they all take action upon hearing this.

After finishing everything, I returned to the main room and placed my third uncle on the temporarily found door panel. I looked at my third aunt and said seriously: "Third aunt, we have disturbed the soil today and disturbed the Yin spirits. This grave can only be moved.

.

Tomorrow morning, when the third uncle wakes up, you will go from house to house to find people. No matter what, you must recruit four young people born in the year of dragon and four in the year of tiger to help move the grave."

The third aunt nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I have made a note of it. Even if I kowtow to ask for help tomorrow, I will definitely get everyone together."

I hummed softly and said: "Third Aunt, go put the incense sticks on the spiritual tablet in the main room. You and Third Uncle will stay here tonight and don't leave."

The third aunt nodded again, took the lighter and went to burn incense for Liu Jie.

Compared with the third uncle, the third aunt is obviously much more stable.

The night is getting darker, and the village is particularly quiet tonight.

I was sitting on the lounge chair in the main room and fell asleep. I don't know how long it had been before I felt my arms being shaken violently. When I opened my eyes, I saw my third aunt looking at me with a look of horror on her face.

"Xiaolong, your third uncle, your third uncle..."

I suddenly woke up and looked at my third uncle.

Uncle San, who had already recovered before, had muscles all over his body tightened, his abdomen stood up high, his limbs were twisted, and he was lying on the door panel in a weird posture.

The curved fingers made the silver needle slide out continuously, bringing out little bits of red liquid, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance.

As my nose flapped, I smelled a faint smell of blood from the strange fragrance.

"How could this happen?" I looked at Third Aunt: "Third Aunt, what else have you done besides cutting down trees?"

The third aunt was so frightened by this scene that she shook her head quickly: "No, no, we didn't do anything except cutting down trees."

"Then why does it smell like blood?"

I frowned. This strange smell was unique to floating corpses, so it was not surprising. But the smell of blood mixed with it meant that it was a fake corpse.

Everything has exceeded my plan.

Facing my gaze, the third aunt seemed to have thought of something. Nono said: "Yes, could it be because of me? It happened to me."

"It's here? Auntie?" I immediately raised my voice: "Don't touch the grave when you see red, don't you know?"

The third aunt almost cried: "I, I, I thought it would be okay to just cut down trees."

Several soft sounds were heard, and the silver needle on Third Uncle's finger fell to the ground.
