Chapter 496 Chapter Seventeen

I knew that grandpa was going to strangle the monkey's neck suddenly from behind.Judging from the speed at which the monkey opened the grave, his strength should not be underestimated. Even if my grandfather and I stepped forward at the same time, it would be difficult to subdue him.It has to be said that a sudden attack from behind is a very good way, and it is also the only feasible way. However, when the grandfather was more than ten steps away from the monkey, the monkey suddenly raised his hands and roared towards the sky. "Aw--" Grandpa was stunned, and I was stunned too.

The wet soil was lifted up by him, and then dripped on his face and body with the rain.Then, he started chanting words that he couldn't understand clearly.At this time, the ghost book he was biting on his mouth changed.The words on the ghost book were quickly washed away by the rain, and dripped down along the scattered latitude and longitude threads on the edge.But the dripping ink did not scatter, but it had a purpose, like an earthworm, and flowed towards the hole that the monkey had opened. Grandpa saw that he hadn't found himself yet, so he continued to move forward. Grandpa only took two steps, and even stranger things happened!

There was a rumbling sound from the ground, like thunder in the sky.Before I could think about it, with a "coax", the soil in front of the monkey exploded!The wet soil was thrown up again and scattered on the monkey's face, body, and surroundings.Immediately afterwards, I saw a piece of rotting wood at the center of the explosion.That's part of the coffin.The dead pregnant woman was only separated from the monkey by a plank. It rained heavily. The monkey was suddenly excited, and he got up from the mud all at once.Since his body and face were covered with mud, he looked like a dead body that had just crawled out of the ground from a distance. This dead body that came down from the ground was going to meet another pregnant woman's body in that coffin.

This scene reminds me of a story my grandfather once told me. A long time ago, there was a strong man who traveled around Huguang.Once he lived alone in an ancient temple. One night, seeing that the moon was shining brightly, he went out for a walk.Not far away, he saw a man in the woods wearing a Tang scarf (a kind of cap in the Tang Dynasty, and scholars and Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty often wore Tang scarves) walking towards him without touching the ground.The strong man thought to himself, who else is wearing a Tang scarf now?Shouldn't I have encountered a ghost?Then, the strong man saw the shadow drift to the deepest part of the pine forest and entered an ancient tomb, and he realized that it was a zombie.He once heard people say that if the coffin boards of the zombies were removed, the zombies would not be able to come out to cause trouble.

So the next night, the strong man lay in ambush in the woods in advance, preparing to secretly take the coffin lid when the zombies went out to move around. On the second watch, the zombies really came out and walked away slowly.The strong man followed quietly, and found that the zombie had come outside a big house. From an upstairs window, a woman in red threw a white cloth.The zombie grabbed the straps and climbed up, then heard soft, indistinct voices in the upstairs room. The strong man ran back quickly, removed the coffin lid and hid it, and then hid nearby again. It was late at night, and the zombie came back in a hurry, but found that the coffin was not covered, and was very anxious.The zombie searched for a long time, but still couldn't find it, so it ran back along the same path.

The strong man followed curiously again, and saw that the zombie ran back to the previous small building, jumping up and down in anxiety. The woman upstairs seemed to be saying something to the zombie, and waved her hands again and again, as if to say, you shouldn't come back!At this time, the sound of rooster crowing came, and the zombie fell to the side of the road. In the morning, everyone who passed the road was terrified. The strong man went to this building with passers-by to look for it, and learned that it was the ancestral hall of the Zhou family.People from the Zhou family said that there was a female corpse parked upstairs.The strong man and a few brave men went upstairs, and found that the corpse that was originally in the coffin was now lying outside the coffin.Everyone guessed that the two zombies were a wild couple, so they put the two corpses together and incinerated them.

After listening to the story told by my grandfather, I felt that the zombie wild union was bizarre and fresh, and I also felt warm for the ending of the two zombies.Because in that era, people should have a deep prejudice against wild marriages, but the people in the story let the two zombies "reunite", which is considered the beauty of being a "human". Hiding behind the tree, I thought that the monkey might have his own reasons.Like in the story of the zombie wild coop, maybe the monkey fell in love with the pregnant woman in the tomb.Maybe... monkeys are hidden zombies?Maybe the monkey I saw that night was its magic trick?

Since the zombie in the story can find the Zhou family ancestral hall, it is not surprising that the monkey finds it here.I thought to myself.If this is the case, it would be superfluous for me and grandpa to intervene.Even if the Fang family is not as enlightened as the Zhou family in the story, then this matter is not in the hands of Grandpa and me. I feel uneasy. Grandpa may be like me, he stood there motionless. Just when my grandfather and I were hesitating, the monkey slowly moved down the hands that were deadlocked in mid-air. When the hands were moved to the chest-level position, it suddenly exerted force and pressed them on the coffin.

With a sound of "Du", the monkey's hands were plunged into the coffin without any hindrance, just like ordinary people putting their hands into the water to fish with ease. Yes, it's like fishing for fish. Because he didn't just want to smash the coffin, he seemed to be looking for something else.His hands were groping inside the coffin, his face full of anticipation.Obviously, what he was looking for was not the corpse of a pregnant woman as I expected.If what he was looking for was Lin Jiazhu, he should have found it long ago. So what is he looking for?Funeral objects?

However, as far as I know, there are no wealthy families in Fangjiazhuang, and it is not fashionable to bury the dead with valuables. What else in the coffin was worth his efforts to find? He was so engrossed in the coffin that he didn't notice me and grandpa at all during the whole process, although grandpa was not at all hidden behind him.And I have already stood up from behind the tree.At that time, my grandfather and I paid too much attention to the monkey's every move, but did not notice that the ghost book in the grandfather's hand was also washed away by the rain.Attracted by the monkey's certain power, the black ink wandered under the grass, and finally burrowed into the soil together with the ink on the monkey's new ghost book.

The monkey's hand began to retract.He's got what he wants, and the excitement is palpable. I fixed my eyes on the crack in the coffin, watching the monkey's hand slowly come out from there.Obviously, the thing he touched was not big, because the distance between his arms was very small, so the thing in his palm would not be too big.Could it be that there were really precious sacrificial objects in the coffin? wrong.Although the rain was pouring, the disgusting stench could not be restrained. As the monkey's hand moved out, the stench became heavier and heavier.
