23Chapter 3 Section 9

It was early autumn at this time, and most of the reeds had dried up. When it touched the fire, it burned in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, a large reed swamp turned into a sea of ​​​​fire! Everyone could only hear the crackling of dry firewood inside.

The sound of explosions was endless. Everyone stood on the shore, staring closely at the reeds on the river that had turned into a sea of ​​fire, fearing that the monster would come out of it if they were not careful.

But after waiting for a long time, not even a pheasant came out, let alone the monster! After almost an hour, the reeds were almost burned, and except for a few places where smoke was still coming out, most of the places were exposed.

There is a layer of ashes floating on the water surface. The roots of the reeds growing in the water are immersed in the water, so only the upper part is burned away. The lower part in the water is still there, densely packed like a huge nail.

plate.

Without the cover of the large reeds, the small island in the middle of the river was also revealed. Those with sharp eyes could see the land in the middle of the water at a glance. However, it was now filled with smoke and it was difficult to see clearly what was on the small island.

"Do you think the monster will be up there?" Sun Ji said, staring at the place where Liu Ping went last night.

Sun Shengkui didn't expect that there was a cave inside the reed swamp. He said, "Go over and have a look!" After that, he took off his shoes and socks, got into the water and walked over there. Seeing this, the others followed suit.

Liu Ping saw that he was surrounded by old men and couldn't take off his shoes and socks, so he lay on Sun Ji and let him carry her over.

When everyone came to the small island, they saw pheasants and wild duck eggs all over the ground. The white flowers were really staggering, but now thinking about it, most of these eggs were probably roasted! There were even some that had time to fly away.

The wild birds were also burned to death here. It can be said that "the fields are littered with corpses!"

Everyone walked all the way to the center of the island. After a while, a lonely grave appeared in front of everyone. This grave was exactly the one Liu Ping saw last night!

"Mr. Sun, look there looks like a tomb!" Someone shouted.

Sun Shengkui frowned and said to himself: "It's strange, how come there are graves in this place? Almost all the ancestral graves of generations in our village are in the same place, and outsiders will never put their graves here. Who is this grave?

of!"

While thinking about it, Sun Shengkui walked to the grave and saw that there was no tombstone on the grave. It seemed to be quite old. For a while, he really couldn't figure out whose ancestor it was, so he had to give up. However, when he turned around

When we got to the back of the tomb, we were surprised to find a deep cave entrance!

This cave is the one where Liu Ping used reeds to test the depth last night. The entrance of this cave is one foot square in width. The cave is so dark that you can't see the bottom at first glance. You can't tell the depth, but it's not difficult to see the newly dug mud from the entrance.

This hole is newly drilled!

Liu Tiannai and others also saw the entrance of the cave at this moment! He suddenly panicked, "Well, I guessed it right, that thing is the zombie crawling out of this grave!"

Everyone was already a little scared when they saw the big hole in the tomb. When Liu Tiannai said this, they even got goosebumps all over! Ding Er said with a sad face: "It turns out that the monster is really a zombie! What should we do?"

Sun Shengkui also found it hard to believe, but with the facts before his eyes, he could only grit his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter if it's a human or a ghost, if it's burned to ashes by fire, you can't even measure it! Go ahead!"

Pour pine oil into this hole." When everyone heard this, they thought it was reasonable. Even a zombie would be burnt to black ashes by fire and probably wouldn't be able to do anything.

So everyone hurriedly poured in all the pine oil they had brought, and the air was immediately filled with a strong smell of pine oil. After pouring, Sun Shengkui rubbed a match and threw it in, and there was an immediate "boom"

With a sound, a flame as tall as a person burst out from the hole.

Everyone stared closely at the entrance of the cave, but after a long time, they didn't see anything coming out of it. Until the raging fire was extinguished, there was still no movement in the cave! Sun Ji stared at the hole in the thick air.

The smoke hole said: "Could it be that the monster has been burned to death inside?"

Sun Shengkui did not comment, but nodded and said: "Maybe! Such a big fire will burn even the iron bones. Not to mention that the monster is still made of flesh and blood. If it is really in the cave, it will probably have been burned this time.

Burned to death. But we want to see the corpse of that thing, so you can ask a few young men to open the grave!"

"Hey! I'm going to ask someone to prepare." Sun Ji nodded, went to the side to find a few strong men, and began to open up the grave. As the tomb was gradually opened, a disgusting rotten smell spread.

When he came out, many people with shallow eyes stepped back one after another.

After a while, several rotten wooden boards were dug out. Most of them were rotten coffin boards. It was just that after digging for so long, the hole was not dug yet, but Sun Ji knew

The hole must still be down there, because the soil in the pit is already very hot now.

Next, several more boards were pulled out one after another. In addition, there were also some broken bottles and cans. What was even more strange was that Sun Ji actually dug out a wooden comb that was not rotten.

, they should all be buried with people. Fortunately, the soil here has a high water content, so it is necessary to

If not for these coffin boards and wood products, they would have been burned to ashes! Finally, after Sun Ji shoveled down, he felt that his hands were empty, and then the soil in front of him sank in. After he saw this,

He hurriedly called everyone over and said, "We're digging that hole!"

When everyone heard this, they gathered around one after another, probably wanting to see if there was the monster's body. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a strange cry of "Ouch!" suddenly came from the river bank behind them, and many people screamed.
