Chapter Six The Unfilial Son Digs His Grave

That night, Fugui rushed to Chen Shui's house with a black nose and swollen eyes. Seeing that Chen Shui's father was drinking again, he kicked a stool away and cursed: "You old man! You're going to kill me!"

Chen Shui's father didn't know what was going on, so he asked, "Why is my cousin so angry? Look, look at these eyes that are swollen like steamed buns..."

Fugui coaxedly learned what happened that night, and the old man was very happy. What's the big deal? Aren't there just a few yellow men? I'm trying to scare you like a bear. Where's the courage to steal from you?

The old man chirped and started bragging to the rich man. He said: "When I was young, I liked hunting. I would often carry a gun in the middle of the night and chase rabbits in the graveyard. I never knew how to be afraid. Look at my feet.

That's when the gun went off."

The more Fugui heard this, the more cowardly he became. He took a few sips of wine and said, "Cousin, are you sure there is something in my parents' graves?"

The old man said: "That's not sure yet." Fugui thought for a while and said: "Cousin, please lend me your shotgun." After saying that, he went to the wall to get it. (At that time, the management of shotguns was not strict, and there were many in rural areas.

Everyone has it.)

Fugui drank some wine and had a shotgun in his hand, so he became bolder. When he passed by the door of someone else's house, he conveniently took away the shovel and went straight to the cemetery behind the village.

As he was about to enter the woods, he crouched down and slowed down, his heart still pounding. This time he quietly hid behind a grave and stretched out half of his head to quietly observe the movements on his parents' graves.

.

I saw the yellow wolf jumping onto the tombstone again, and several others were carrying the skull of a dead person and circling around the tombstone.

Fugui thought that you would be in my way and see how I deal with you. He thought about taking a shotgun and aimed at the one squatting on the tombstone. The "bang" shot broke the silence of the night, and Fugui also broke out in a cold sweat.

, and then look at the frightened Huang Langzi running around, only the one on the stone tablet fell to the ground, twitched twice and then stopped moving.

When Fugui saw that he had been hit, he quickly ran over, picked up the weasel and saw that it hit him right between the eyebrows. This made Fugui happy. He felt that this was the beginning of his bad luck.

Without further ado, I went up and started digging the grave. While digging, I muttered, "Don't blame your parents. Don't blame your parents. We are so poor that we can't live anymore. Wealthy digged the soil like a mad dog. After a while, the grave was buried."

He asked him to flatten the top, gradually revealing the red coffin.

Fugui gasped for a while, and then used his strength to pry open the coffin lid. A stench came out, and Fugui vomited on the side at the top of his lungs. He vomited so hard that he almost rolled his eyes. After regaining some strength, he asked

Looking inside the coffin, I saw two white bones lying side by side, one big and one small. His father and mother died on the same day, and according to local custom, they were buried together.

Fugui searched the coffin carefully under the moonlight. There was a small wooden box above the two bones. Fugui took it out and patted the dirt off to see what was inside. He saw a lock and pulled it open.

After a few attempts, it couldn't be opened. He thought, everything must be inside, so he should take it home and pry it open again!

So he was about to push up the coffin lid, but when the light flickered, he saw a flash on the wrist of the smaller white bones. After a closer look, it was a bracelet. Fugui judged that it should be gold. Fugui put down the wooden box and went to rub it.

There was only a gold bracelet, but it didn't move after a few strokes. The bone-white arm broke off from the shoulder with a snap. The frightened Fugui quickly let go of his hand. He kept saying, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

, not on purpose!”

He thought to himself, forget it and come back next time. So he pushed the lid of the coffin back up again, filled it with soil, stepped on the surrounding area, and covered it with some leaves and weeds.

At this time, he was too tired and had no strength, but he didn't want to stay here any longer. He carried the gun and dragged the shovel and was about to walk back. When he saw the dead weasel lying on the ground, he smiled, grabbed it and put it away.

With his clothes on his waist, he walked towards the village with a smile on his face. After entering the village, he went directly to Chen Shui's house without going home first.

When Chen Shui's father opened the door and saw Fugui holding a wooden box in his arms with a gray face, he understood. Fugui returned his shotgun and was about to leave.

Chen Shui's father was also a man who loved petty bargains. He stared straight at the wooden box that Fugui was holding and said, "Cousin, I didn't lie to you, did I? Why don't you show your respect to your uncle?"

Fugui's rogue nature came up again: "What? It's ridiculous that I'm showing you this? I'm telling you, if you leak the news to me, I'll kill your son too!"

The old man was a little scared, but he didn't want to take advantage of him. He laughed and said, "Why don't you let me drink for you, the bastard on your waist?"

Fu Gui almost forgot that he had this damn thing on his waist. He said funnyly: "How can you eat this damn thing because it's so sexy and smelly? I'll give it to you!" He pulled it off from his waist and threw it on the ground.

When Fugui went out, the old man said proudly: "Who said you can't eat it? It can cure diseases! Especially after winter, this skin alone is worth ten or eight yuan!"

Later, the rich man went home and pried open the wooden box, which contained a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry. He sold them for some money, ate, drank, and gambled every day. After being prosperous for a while, he had nothing in his pocket.

Later, everyone knew that the wealthy family had a ghost, and the daughter-in-law was possessed by the devil.

As for the old liar, after hearing what Chen Shui's mother said, he frowned. Everyone was also scolding the rich and unfilial son, and at the same time they also speculated whether the death of Chen Shui's father was related to this. For a moment,

People are a little scared. Who dares to go out when it gets dark?

Just when people were talking about it, Chen Shui suddenly said: "Sir, I really saw some strange things in the middle of the night." Chen Shui said that he came back very late from work, and he was approached just as he was about to fall asleep.

The noise in the hospital woke me up.

He thought someone was trying to steal his father's chicken, so he got up to take a look. Before he reached the front yard, he heard his father's voice sounding like he was frightened by something. He ran there quickly, and just as he turned around

When he reached the corner, the scene in front of him shocked him.

He saw a woman dressed in white standing in the yard. She had disheveled hair and a pale face. She was holding something like a weasel in her arms. As soon as she saw him, she ran away and disappeared.

He thought he was blinded and didn't think much about it. Then he saw his father standing blankly at the door, his mouth wide open and his eyes staring. The oil lamp in his hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces. He hurriedly

He stepped forward to support his father and kept asking what was going on, but his father was speechless. He just stared straight at the place where the woman in white stood just now, looking very scared. Chen Shui's wife and mother-in-law

They were all driven out, and at this time his father also died.

When the villagers heard this, they felt chills on the backs of their necks, and they involuntarily squeezed into the crowd, feeling like there was something behind them.

Everyone was talking a lot. After hearing this, the old man sighed and shook his head gently. He said: "Don't talk anymore, and don't panic. Come on, the dead are the most important. Let's all lend a hand and help."

Let the old man be laid to rest as soon as possible."

The people in the village were all emotionally connected, and they would help anyone with anything. Before the old man finished speaking, they all started to help. The women began to comfort the family members of the deceased, and the men were busy setting up the memorial altar. I

Afraid of being discovered by her parents, she squeezed in through the door again, getting closer to the old liar.

The old liar looked solemn. He took out a pile of yellow paper from his bag, took out a piece of paper, lit it, and gently drew circles around Chen Shui's father's head, squinting and mumbling softly.

Something. When it was almost finished burning, he raised his hand and threw it up, and read loudly: "I will wait for everyone, hurry up and be reborn! I will wait for everyone, hurry up and be reborn! The souls of the dead will return to the earth as soon as possible!"

Then, I watched him gently wipe Chen Shui's father's forehead with his hand. When he raised his hand again, Chen Shui's father closed his eyes and mouth. He still seemed to be asleep, but

Much better looking.

I stared at the old liar curiously. He lit the remaining pile of paper on fire and burned it in the brazier. He looked at the flames without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, I suddenly saw Chen Shui's father, who was lying down, seem to move, and then a faint shadow sat up from him. That shadow looked exactly like Chen Shui's father.

He squinted his eyes and showed no expression as he flew around the corpse on the ground a few times, and then flew lightly towards the door. He seemed to be turning a blind eye to everyone. Strangely, it seemed that no one could see him and no one cared about him.

, he just flew through people's bodies and flew out of the house, disappearing into the night...

(I also heard an old liar tell me many years later that when a person dies, except for some people who have practiced specific methods, most people have no idea that they are dead because their souls and bodies are separated.

A state of confusion floating in the world. Maybe it is in the body, or maybe it leaves the body and wanders around. This also varies from person to person. Or when you wake up, you may find that you have arrived in the realm connected to the underworld. This

This state is called "** period".)

When the shadow was no longer visible, I looked back and saw that Chen Shui's father was still lying motionless on the ground. I looked at the old liar in confusion. Well? He was looking at me again, just like the scene just now,

And all my expressions were captured by him. He was no longer so serious, as if he had just picked up money and secretly put it into his pocket. He wanted to have fun but was afraid of being discovered, so he could only be happy secretly.

He muttered his little eyes, glanced left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he stretched out his finger and quietly made a "whoosh" gesture to me and flew away.

Well? I was dumbfounded...

People were busy, and it was almost dawn. I went home and lay on the bed, thinking about what happened last night. I couldn't understand why Shen Shui's father turned into two people? How could no one else see him?

But I'm sure the old liar, like me, can see it too.

A few days later, Chen Shui's father was buried, and the village gradually became peaceful. However, the rich man was scolded wherever he went, and he was even more afraid of being caught by ghosts at night, which made him afraid to go out during the day and night. Despite this, trouble still happened
