Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Chapter 78 Thunder

We knew in advance that the soles of the body were turned upside down, but unexpectedly when we dug it open, we found that the white silk wrapping the body had been stretched into strips of white silk, like a mesh tightly wrapped with several layers of white threads, and seemed to be old sheepskin. After being buried, he suddenly came to life, struggling to tear open the white silk wrapped around his body, and then he became what we see now.

Once the loess disappears from the chest, even the living person will have been suffocated to death. How can he struggle to get out of the soil? Everyone was frightened when they saw this. Lao Yangpi's son even softened his knees and knelt on the ground. She cried and wiped away her tears, cursing herself for being unfilial and burying her own father alive.

By the light of the kerosene lamp, I saw some white fluff exposed in the white cloth under the pit. It seemed to be wrapped in a yellow leather, but how could that be possible? I knew something was wrong, so I immediately ignored Lao Yangpi's son who was crying loudly beside me, and leaned down on my own, wanting to see if any changes had happened to the body tightly wrapped in layers of white silk?

The fat man shouted at the edge of the pit: "Old Hu, be careful. I don't think this is right, so I'd better find a stick to poke it to see if it's safe... Look at how the white cloth looks like a zombie wrapped inside. Showing so much white hair?”

As I slowly approached the legs of the corpse exposed from the soil, I said to the fat man: "I'm afraid I might damage the corpse with a stick. I'll take a look first..."

While I was talking, I held up the oil lamp and came closer. The body in the white silk cloth was exposed in the soil. It was motionless, just buried in the soil quietly. But when I got there, I just wanted to raise the lamp to take a look. Carefully, suddenly the ball of white silk shook violently. Even though I was mentally prepared, in this state of shock and explosion, I was so frightened that I almost dropped the lamp to the ground. How could I bother to look at the old sheepskin again? Out of an instinctive reaction, as if encountering a snake or scorpion or receiving an electric shock, he turned around and jumped up from the pit. When he climbed to the top, even he didn't understand how he was in such a deep pit all of a sudden. Just jumped up.

When Lao Yangpi's son saw this situation, he was so frightened that he forgot to continue crying and howling. He opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time. The fat man and I were also stunned on the spot, not knowing how to deal with it. I saw a large piece of something wrapped in white silk mesh exposed in the soil in the pit. The thing was squirming upwards, as if it was buried uncomfortably in the soil and was struggling to break out of the ground. Because it was wrapped so tightly in white cloth, it was torn apart by the struggling things inside. , but I still couldn’t see clearly what was wrapped inside, but the shape definitely didn’t look like the feet of a corpse.

Lao Yangpi's body had been buried in the soil for more than ten hours, and the white silk wrapping the body had been torn and burst. Now the body was actually moving in front of everyone. Lao Yangpi's son was full of panic, thinking that Lao Yangpi He must have turned into a zombie. There have always been a lot of evil things about zombies on the grassland. Although most people have never seen it, everyone can tell a lot of related rumors. For example, a man and a woman are two zombies. How could it be wild, how could the zombie suddenly sit up and attack people, how could it rip out the human heart and drink the blood marrow, and how could it be invulnerable? The sudden shaking of the corpse naturally made him mutter.

Although Fatty and I were also shocked, we both grew up in the army after all. We had gone through the cruel test of the nationwide mass mobilization and the all-out armed struggle in mid-1967. We never hesitated when the world was in chaos. How could he be afraid of a corpse wrapped in white silk? What's more, this corpse is still Lao Yangpi who has been through the same troubles with us. Although he panicked and almost escaped from the yurt just now, he quickly calmed himself down. It seems that Lao Yangpi died strangely and must be dismantled. Open the white silk wrapped in the corpse to find out.

I winked at the fat man, and the two of them stepped forward and continued to dig up the body, digging it out of the soil to see what the hell was going on. They still didn't believe in this evil.

But Lao Yangpi’s son lay on the ground and hugged my legs, trying his best to stop me. If Lao Yangpi’s body was found and dug out, it would be fatal, so it would be better to fill it up with soil again.

I saw that Lao Yangpi’s son was a man in his thirties. He drank wine and ate meat. Even his Mongolian wife never told him that he was not like a man. Why did he become so timid and hesitant now? Like a woman, half of the body has been dug out. How can you just bury it and bury it back?

But after all, he is a direct relative of Lao Yangpi, so it’s not easy to use force on him. Although I was anxious, I still had the patience to give him some soothing pills. Since the Four Olds were eradicated, in the past two years, a nationwide campaign to change customs has been carried out. Naturally, forest farms and pastoral areas must keep up with the situation during the movement. Every household has been given several brochures with promotional materials. One of them is "Speaking of Science and Breaking Superstitions", which is a thin book of more than 30 pages. There is a paragraph about "the death of corpses". Why does it move?" Detailed explanation.

I had read this book before, and when I saw that Lao Yangpi’s son also had it at home, I told him that it was definitely not a dead body. Even though there was thunder now, a dead body was definitely not this phenomenon. There is much more in "Speaking Science, Breaking Superstitions" It is clear that the corpse will move. That is because the corpse decomposes too quickly and the corpse energy is sealed inside by the white silk cloth and cannot escape. Therefore, as soon as the ground is broken, the corpse buried inside will twitch and tremble as if it has been electrified. If it is not Once the corpse is taken out, sooner or later the corpse gas inside will jump into the soil and cause harm to the living people living nearby. Materialists will never deceive others. If you don't believe it, sooner or later you will regret it.

I made it up casually, and it really frightened Lao Yangpi's son. He didn't know a few Chinese characters. Although he received promotional materials, he had never read the book "Speaking of Science, Breaking Superstitions" at home. , but this person has the advantage of being uneducated. He thinks that as long as it is written in a book, it is a golden rule and the truth. When he heard that it was written in black and white in the book, he immediately believed it. I had no choice but to let go of my hands and let the fat man and I dig up Lao Yangpi's body.

The fat man said to him: "That's right. Living people have their own truth, and dead people have their own truth. How can you not believe in the truth? Today we will see whose truth is wrapped in this white cloth." As he spoke, he began to dig. Before the shovel in his hand could fall, the thunder outside increased in intensity. Several thunders exploded in succession, causing pain in the ear bones of the people in the ger. Inside the dimly lit yurt, There were pale flashes of light.

I quickly pulled the fat man away from the edge of the pit. Unfortunately, one after another, the thunderbolts landed nearby. They were much more powerful than before. They seemed to have targeted the yurt and struck it down, leaving it in the tent. The risk of being struck by lightning is too great. Get out quickly and wait until the lightning strikes before you can think of a solution.

There were thunder and lightning, the clouds were thick and there was no rain. Everyone knew that the thunder was ominous and something was bound to happen tonight, but we were completely kept in the dark. We were helpless in the face of this situation, so we had to retreat to a safe place first, Fatty. I dragged the shovel backwards, and I set up Lao Yangpi's son on the left and right, trying to get out of the yurt.

As soon as we got to the tent door, we saw a flash of lightning, and a blue fireball penetrated into the tent. It was lightning fast, as fast as a meteor. We had no time to react, and we didn't make any dodge movements at all. The fireball came out. Passing over the head, a lightning strike struck the pit where the old sheepskin's body was buried, and then a burning smell quickly filled the tent.

Although our reaction was a little slow, we still subconsciously shrank our heads and hid in the tent. After a while, we smelled the burning smell and the thunder outside the tent gradually stopped. I turned around to take a look. , where the thunder struck, the body wrapped in white silk was already turned into a piece of black carbon. The body was charred and unrecognizable.

Ding Sitian and Lao Yangpi's daughter-in-law were in another tent. They heard something was wrong and were worried that something had happened. At this time, they also ran in to watch. When they saw the dark and smoking corpse in the pit, they were so shocked that they were speechless. Lao Yangpi The son squatted in the corner with eyes wide open, as if he was frightened. The thunder struck the corpse. Is this good or bad?

I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that cannot be avoided. Someone has to collect Lao Yangpi's body to see what's going on. Why can't this thunder be dealt with by a dead man? So they endured the pungent burnt odor and dug the soil again with the fat man, intending to reach out and move the body. However, as soon as they touched it with their hands, the outer layer of charcoal-black human flesh fell away, revealing bright red inside. It is impossible to lift the pieces of meat out of the pit unless you use a plastic bag to carry them up.

When I saw that Lao Yangpi had ended up like this after his death, I couldn't help but feel like a knife was twisting my heart. But the thunder wouldn't hit the corpse and cause thunder and fire for no reason. There must be something weird. Thinking of this, I became cruel and gritted my teeth to take a closer look. The corpse seemed to have swollen in the ground. After being burned by thunder and fire, it was two or three times larger than the old sheepskin. The white silk wrapped in the corpse was the most flammable and had already burned out. The charcoal-like corpse didn't look like a human being.

When I first dug it out, I felt that the thing exposed from the white silk looked like a very large weasel. However, I thought that was unlikely at the time. Now I looked at the corpse burned by thunder and fire, except for the old sheepskin. , as expected, there was an extra large yellow weasel, but both the man and the yellow skin were burnt and beyond recognition. From the shape of the remains, we could only speculate that it might be a very large weasel. Judging from its remaining form, it seemed that Before he died, he was struggling to crawl out of the white cloth.

We have killed the two old yellow men in Baiyan Cave. Where did this yellow man come from? Or does it mean that the old sheepskin turned into yellow skin after death? Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. No one could answer these questions, but they all felt a wave of fear. (To be continued. If you want to know what happened, please log in.
