To be honest, if Zhang Hazi hadn't said this himself, I couldn't believe that he would think there was something evil in Xiejia Village.
After all, from the time he entered the village to the present, he, Zhang Hazi, has maintained a deadly calm look, as if everything here is normal.
Besides, I am no longer the same person I was five years ago. If there is anything abnormal in Xiejia Village, I should be able to find some clues. But from the time I set foot in their village until now, I haven’t found anything suspicious.
After entering the village, it was not like the situation Wu Tinghan encountered in Chenjia Village. There was no one in the whole village. Instead, he saw many villagers greeting Xie Bugui enthusiastically. Everything seemed like Very normal village life - I have experience in this and can completely guarantee it.
So I asked Zhang Hazi in a low voice, what do you think is wrong?
Zhang Hazi said, from the time you entered the village until now, have you seen an old woman?
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, and then I came to my senses. How could I have forgotten this?
Rural areas are different from urban areas. It is not only men who do hard work, but also women. In fact, some women in rural areas are stronger than men.
Therefore, even if the sun is bright, rural women will not hide in the shade like urban women, but will appear in the fields, working hard under the scorching sun.
But when we entered the village, apart from all the men, I never saw a woman, not even her back!
This is really evil!
I asked Zhang Hazi in a low voice, why didn't you tell me before?
He said, this is such an obvious thing, you want me to talk about it?
After he finished speaking, he laughed with great disdain, and then said, Well, it seems that I overestimate your IQ.
I ignored Zhang Hazi's sarcasm and asked him, why is this happening?
He said, if I knew, would I tell you about the evil practices in this place?
Let me tell you, what should we do now? Should we follow him, or should he be held back by the wind?
He said, what the hell, don’t you want to save your housewife?
Hearing this, I felt a pain in my heart. What I mean is that she died because of me. It is my responsibility and obligation to save her. There is no need for you to follow me and risk your life.
I was about to continue my persuasion when I saw Zhang Hazi's expression suddenly froze, and then he stared straight ahead to the right, as if there was some savage beast there.
But when I looked over, I found that there was nothing there except some reeds and thorns.
I asked Zhang Hazi, why are you so stunned? I was shocked!
He said that someone came to see me at that place.
I was originally frightened by Zhang Hazi's words, but now when I heard him say these words suddenly, my heart sank immediately, and it felt more like a ladle of cold water had been poured on my back - although there were reeds there. The thorns obscured the view, but they were sparsely grown and not very high. It was basically impossible for a person to hide there without being discovered.
I looked back and forth several times, but I didn't see anyone. Now I felt even more scared - if it wasn't a human, it could only be a sinister person. But now that the sun is scorching, what kind of sinister person dares to show his face so blatantly and stare at Zhang Hazi?
These two points, no matter which one they are, show that this sinister person is difficult to deal with, at least, not something I can deal with.
But if he is such a powerful evil person, will the people in Xiejia Village let him go?
So I asked, could it be that you feel wrong?
Zhang Hazi shook his head and said, I just have old eyes, it's not that I feel something is wrong. I might see it wrong?
Before we even reached the cemetery, there were already hundreds of invisible footsteps, as well as non-existent women, and a sinister person hiding behind the reeds to spy on Zhang Hazi... No matter which single person was picked up, it was... It’s definitely enough for two of us to drink a pot, and I don’t know what else is waiting for me when we get to the cemetery.
While Zhang Hazi and I were hesitating, Xie Bugui turned around and asked Zhang Hazi if he had discovered anything.
Zhang Hazi didn't speak, so I did it for him. As I walked forward, I asked him, where have all the women in your village gone?
Xie Bugui was stunned when he heard this, and soon showed a complicated wry smile, and said, I originally thought that you would not notice it until you finished digging the grave and went down the mountain, but I didn't expect to find it now.
I pointed at Zhang Hazi and said that he discovered it when he entered the village, but he just didn't say it out loud.
This time, Xie Bugui's eyes looked at Zhang Hazi with even more light. I knew it was his admiration for the wise man.
Let me tell you, are you hiding something from us? Why can't you see a woman in your village?
Xie Bugui looked a little gloomy when he heard this, and then he said, "You will know when you get to the ancestral grave."
Not long after we walked forward, we reached the foot of the mountain and then walked up the ridge. After a while, we saw a platform full of tombs, large and small, with different styles.
But the strange thing is that these graves are very close together, as if they were buried without considering the feng shui position at all, and they just wanted to bury them quickly, which seemed very hurried.
Xie Bugui explained that the ancestors who died in those three months were basically buried here.
When I heard this, I understood. The reason why these tombs appeared to be in such a hurry was entirely because the villagers at that time had no energy to care about the feng shui of these tombs and only wanted to avoid this disaster.
Xie Bugui said that only some highly respected people would be buried higher up, but it was basically impossible to choose a good acupuncture point as usual.
I nodded, and then looked at those graves, feeling very strange. I asked thank you for returning. I didn't notice it just now. Now when I walked behind them, I realized that their size was a little too wide. It didn't look like they were there. It is a single tomb, but more like a joint tomb.
Xie Bugui nodded and said, this is why there are no women in the village.
I was stunned when I heard this, then opened my eyes wide, looked at Xie Bugui and said, "You mean, all the women in your village were buried with them?"
Damn it, how old are you, and you still want to be buried with someone?
Xie Bugui shook his head and said, it's possible, these are all his relatives, can he let them be buried with him?
Let me tell you, if they weren't buried together, why would they be buried together in multiple tombs?
I know that joint burial tombs are popular in some rural areas, and some have built joint burial tombs even before they die. Whoever dies first will live in it first, leaving the remaining one empty.
But in the joint tomb here, both pits are sealed, which means that there are two coffins in the tomb!
Moreover, the style of the capping is very strange. They are not one for each person on the left and one for the right, but share a large top, which means that the coffins inside are not separated, but placed together!
This also means that the death interval between the two people in the tomb will never exceed seven days!
Because after more than seven days, the first person to die must be buried, and then it will be capped. Once the cap is capped, its cap will never be touched again, because that is a matter of annihilating descendants, and no one dares to do that. . So the caps will be one on the left and one on the right, one for each person.
That means that after those people died, their wives died within seven days!
If this is not a burial, what else could it be?
It’s not like after those people died, their wives died within seven days of their death, right?
Xie Bugui looked gloomy and said, but that is the fact.
When I heard this, my scalp immediately became numb, because I always thought that only 108 people died in those more than three months. But now it seems that there are actually 216 people!
And because there are seven days to cache, so in addition to one person dying every day, it is possible that up to seven or eight people can die in a day!
What a horrific and tragic past must this be?
Not to mention the person who experienced it firsthand, even as an outsider, after learning about this incident, my whole body felt like it was trapped in an ice cellar, and I was shivering from the cold.
I asked Xie Bugui, why didn't you tell me before?
Xie Bugui told me, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, would you believe me even if I told it?
I don’t know Zhang Hazi, but I really don’t believe it. After all, if I hadn't seen this kind of thing with my own eyes, I would definitely have thought that Xie Bugui was deliberately making up lies to trick us into coming to their village.
I looked at Zhang Hazi and found that he looked solemn. After a while, he raised his head and glanced at me, then looked at Xiang Xie and said to him, "You must be hiding something from us, right?"
I was shocked when I heard this and couldn't help but repeat it loudly, is there anything else you are hiding from us?
These words quickly caused the group of men in front to turn around. I had to lower my voice and thank you for returning. What else are you hiding from us?
He didn't speak, but looked at Zhang Hazi and asked him, have you discovered it again?
Zhang Hazi ignored him, but turned around and looked at me and said, Ha Tu Tui, from the time you entered the village to now, have you heard any children (children) crying?
