Chapter 6: Moon Night Stealing Corpse(1/2)
"According to your statement, you went to a place similar to a market and met two ghosts. Then they confirmed that there were no souls of Liu San and others."
"That's right, although I'm not sure it's a ghost market, the people around are definitely not human beings." Li Tai'an said firmly.
"Logically speaking, ghost markets usually open in places like mass graves and cemeteries, where there are sufficient customers. If you really go to the ghost market, it will explain why this house is sold so cheaply.
Got it." Huang Gou said while inspecting the room.
Li Tai'an looked at the darkening sky outside and asked, "Did something happen in Xingxian County today?"
After walking around for a while, the yellow dog lay lazily on the ground again: "But it's so exciting. All the missing people have been found in Yizhuang, but they are all corpses. Xingxian County is really exploding right now.
"
Hearing this, Li Tai'an shook his head regretfully: "It seems that it is impossible for us to get new clues in Yizhuang."
Huang Gou nodded and continued: "There is another news, you must be very interested!"
"what news?"
"The bodies of Liu San and Xu Yong are missing!"
"Gone?!"
"Yes, I searched Yizhuang and found no bodies. So the last person who saw them was our neighbor, Xu Ping!"
"It looks like we still have to visit our neighbors."
As soon as Li Tai'an got up, he saw the yellow dog walking in with a pot of wine and a bag of meat.
"Xu Ping doesn't have any hobbies. His only hobby is drinking. The last time Xu Ping spilled the beans, it was because he was drunk. So these things were already prepared when you were unconscious."
Huang Gou handed two things to Li Tai'an.
Li Tai'an looked at the yellow dog in surprise, "I finally understand why my grandfather took me to subdue you before he died. You are a capable man!"
One person and one dog rushed to Xu Ping's house while talking.
"Is this still beef?! Killing cows is illegal!"
"What a crime! In the east of Xing County, a farm cow was killed by lightning. This is a rare opportunity. I waited in line for a long time to buy it. How can I get Xu Ping to speak without this!"
To the north of Xing County, on a lame hillside, several tombs are piled up haphazardly.
Some of the better ones still have tombstones; but most of them are just bare earthen tombs.
There are a few poplar trees growing randomly around. When the wind blows, the lush and vigorous leaves rustle instantly, because the leaves are like ghost hands.
Therefore, when the wind blows, it is like a hundred ghosts clapping their hands.
This is also the reason why poplar trees are not favored by ordinary people in customs and habits.
If the wind is strong, the ghosts will clap their hands!
In addition to the poplar trees, one or two huge mice would run by from time to time.
Mass graves, such gloomy animals, are surprisingly strong.
In front of one of the deserted tombs, three incense candles were burning and a lot of paper money was scattered.
Fresh soil keeps flying out, little by little, and the barren grave is slowly getting smaller.
"Huang San, is this really the grave of the young lady of the Li family? You are not lying to me, are you?" One of the men, who was thin and wearing coarse linen clothes, said.
"Why am I lying to you? The Li family was defeated two years ago. The reason for their defeat was because they married this woman. So do you think they will bury this woman properly?" Huang San, who was relatively strong, stopped and gasped.
He took a breath and said to Chen Mao.
Chen Mao looked at his surroundings with fear and listened to the rustling of poplar leaves. He was a little timid at first, but now he was even more frightened.
"Then what good things can be found in her grave? Why don't we leave!"
"Hey, it's obvious that you have no money, so you asked me to do this with you. Let me tell you, although the Li family doesn't want to see this woman, they will definitely give her a lot of things. The dead one is the most important! And I tell you, if you want to come,
Quick money, this is the best way!" Huang San stared at Chen Mao and said fiercely.
Under Huang San's encouragement, Chen Mao also put away his fear and waved quickly again

Shovel in hand.
Soon, the grave bag was dug up, and the coffin inside was revealed.
"Black, black!"
The moment he saw the coffin, Chen Mao, who was less timid, was frightened and collapsed on the ground.
In addition to the shape and materials of the coffin, the painting is also very particular.
Red is used for old people over eighty, which means happiness and mourning.
Yellow is used by most poor families. Since they cannot afford paint, most of them just have a straw mat or a simple coffin.
White is used for women who have not left the palace or for young men who died young.
Gold is for kings.
At this moment, the black coffin that Chen Mao and Huang San saw was used for people who died abnormally, died in battle, committed suicide or died early!
Chen Mao looked at the black coffin with one end exposed, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
Kneeling in front of the grave, he kept praying: "Don't blame me, it's a villain who is ignorant. If I bother you, don't be angry. Just treat me like a fart."
Huang San slapped Chen Mao hard and said sternly: "What are you afraid of? The young lady of the Li family died early. Is there anything strange about using a black coffin?"
But when Huang San took a closer look at the exposed coffin, he was also shocked. It was not just the color of the coffin and the strange burial method that made Huang San more concerned.
This is not an ordinary flat burial, but an upright burial used to suppress murder.
And inside the exposed end of the coffin, a huge iron nail can be seen.
In normal burials, nails are not allowed because people think "nail" is an ominous word, so most coffins use a mortise and tenon structure.
If iron nails are used, it is mostly because they want to suppress the person in the coffin so that he cannot cause harm to the world.
Black coffin, vertical burial, iron nails!
The combination of these three things made Huang San, who had succeeded many times, break into a cold sweat immediately.
"Stop reciting, pay attention to your surroundings, don't let the black cat come over, and don't let the moon shine on this coffin for a long time. Let's bury the soil quickly and stop digging!" Huang San said decisively.
But looking at Chen Mao who was still praying, Huang San kicked him up and roared: "Can't you hear me? If you don't want to die, move faster!"
Chen Mao, who was kicked awake, quickly waved the tools in his hands to add soil to the grave again.
Huang San looked at the frightened Chen Mao and was furious. He could only take off his clothes to block the moonlight above the coffin, and at the same time pay attention to the surrounding situation.
Corpse thieves like Huang San are also very knowledgeable and familiar with some taboos.
In many cases, the dead can rise up with the help of the yang energy of the living, so when transporting, the living must not touch the dead body directly.
The moonlight itself is rich in yin energy, and the person who died unexpectedly will have resentment in his mouth, which is difficult to swallow. If the two meet directly, it is easy to become a corpse.
At the same time, the same is true for black cats, weasels, foxes, and old dogs.
That's why Huang San gave a warning.
Soon, the grave was filled up and the coffin that had just been exposed was buried again.
Huang San just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a black cat running over to catch a mouse.
Huang San immediately walked in front of the black cat to prevent the black cat from rushing over.
But what he didn't expect was that the black cat happened to look up and saw the moon in the sky. It changed its direction in an instant and rushed straight towards the grave.
Fortunately, Huang San was prepared and kicked the black cat away.
The ferocious cat meow once again frightened the timid Chen Mao to paralysis. He was trembling all over and could not pick up the shovel at hand.
Huang San was still paying attention to his surroundings, so he didn't pay attention to Chen Mao behind him.
Huang San's kick just now was so heavy that it not only knocked the black cat away, but also kicked it to death.
But Huang San didn't notice that before the black cat died, two bright lights came out of his eyes, and the target happened to be Chen Mao behind Huang San.
The moment Chen Mao heard the cat's meow, he happened to turn his head and look at the black cat.
Chen Mao
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He quickly stopped trembling, then put the index finger of his right hand into his mouth, bit it off in one bite, and then buried the broken index finger in the soil while Huang San wasn't paying attention.
The location is right above the coffin!
Before Huang San could react, Chen Mao dropped everything and staggered away.
Looking at Chen Mao escaping, Huang San couldn't help but spit, turned around and looked at the nearly buried grave bag, and left quickly without staying any longer.
Soon, calm returned here!
Xing County, Xu Ping’s family.
Li Tai'an and Huang Gou looked at each other, looking at Xu Ping who was already drunk, and they finally revealed their original purpose.
