Chapter 4: Three Circles Around the Tomb

Chapter 4: Walk around the grave three times

My cousins ​​and I were so scared that we ran around. When we ran over the wall, we almost fell from the wall.

He ran home in horror, waking up his parents who were sleeping and asked them to go to his uncle's house as soon as possible.

When my parents, my third and fourth uncles arrived at my uncle's house, they all looked horrified and fearful when they saw that scene.

Today is my cousin’s first seventh day. Incense is still lit in the main hall, but the incense has not been extinguished, which means that my uncle and aunt have not died for a long time.

Perhaps it was because my cousins ​​and I yelled in horror and woke up the neighbors nearby. Some villagers surrounded me. After learning that my uncle and aunt were killed, some people said with fear that my cousin sister-in-law came to kill someone at night.

After all, when my cousin died, she wore red clothes, which was a very taboo thing in the countryside.

After hearing the villagers say this, the faces of our families changed. Although I don’t believe in this thing, I was really a little panicked at this time.

After staying at my uncle's house for a while, the third and fourth aunts left first. They were scolding my aunt for this period. Although they were so fierce, they were obviously a little scared after seeing this scene.

My father and third uncle and fourth uncle stayed here to deal with the funeral. My mother and I and a few cousins ​​left and were ready to come back after dawn.

When he walked to the door of Uncle San’s house, Zhang Hu, who had not said anything along the way, suddenly said, "What a ghost, I don’t believe this! Brothers, don’t stop talking nonsense. If it was really our cousin, it would be a good thing..."

As he said that, his smile became a little lewd, and he said with a smile: "I haven't touched enough last time! If I really come this time, hehe..."

After he said this, my cousins ​​also smiled, diluting the nervousness and fear that they had before.

I am not as big as theirs. I am very nervous and nervous, so I followed my mother home.

I couldn't sleep in the second half of the night, and when I closed my eyes, I saw the bloody scene and the blood-red figure.

As dawn approached, I couldn't hold on anymore, and my sleepiness swept over, but I couldn't sleep because of the barking of the dogs I had at home.

There are many families in the countryside who have dogs and are good at guarding the house.

My family is a native dog. I have been raising it for more than ten years, and it is a real old dog.

It is very quiet and gentle on weekdays. Even if a stranger comes to my house, it just calls it twice. But this time, it calls it very crazy and the barking is a bit shrill.

I don’t know what happened, but as the old dog at home barked wildly, the dogs in the village started barking.

My mother and I quickly went out, thinking there was a thief or something.

As a result, it was found that the old dog was in a very wrong state. It stood at the door of our main hall and barked in the direction of the courtyard gate. The hair on its body exploded, as if it was protecting the master.

My mother and I wanted to go out and take a look, but the old dog bit my trouser legs like crazy and said nothing to let me go.

Such a strange situation made me feel a little nervous, and I stared at the direction of the courtyard gate.

After this situation lasted for a few minutes, noisy sounds came from outside, and then a hurrying sound of slapping the door from the yard. At the same time, my father's anxious shouts also came in from outside.

The old dog blocked the door of the main hall quieted down and shook his tail and went back to his nest to sleep. My mother and I quickly opened the yard gate.

After seeing us, my dad seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he told us something with an ugly face.

After hearing what my dad said, my mom was so scared that she almost fainted, and my face turned pale.

Aunt Third, Aunt Fourth and my cousins ​​are all dead.

Death at home, the fatal injuries were caused by blood holes in the neck, exactly the same as the death of my uncle and aunt.

Especially Zhang Hu died the most miserable. In addition to a bloody hole in his neck, his lower body was also covered in blood, as if he had been bitten by a wild beast.

I thought of the old dog's unusual behavior before, and shivered in fear.

At this time, anyone who dares to say something without ghosts will be just a stubborn one.

Uncles and uncles were crying at home, and panic occurred in the village. Even if some people who didn’t believe in the world before, they had to believe it now.

The uncle's family, the third, fourth and the cousins ​​are all dead. If this situation is the case, the next one will definitely be my family.

My dad returned to the house, took some money, and hurriedly left the village with me and my mother.

Although it was already dark at this time, I was already full of soldiers now. I followed my parents to leave the village, and I was always frightened, afraid that something would suddenly jump out of the grass on the side of the road.

In less than half an hour, my parents took me to a small yard at the end of the neighboring village where a witch who danced a great god lived.

In the past, my first reaction to such people was to be disdainful and think they must be liars. But now after such things, I no longer have the backbone, and the previous cognition has long been thrown out by me.

The witch is not young anymore and looks like she is in her sixties.

After learning about our purpose, the witch shook her head at first and said that she was old and didn't want to encounter such things again. Later, my father gritted his teeth and took out five thousand yuan directly. The witch's dark and turbid eyes emitted some light and agreed happily.

She went back to the house to clean up and followed us to leave her home.

The witch followed us back to our village, but did not return to the village, so she took a detour to the mountain behind the village.

The tomb of my cousin and my cousin's sister-in-law was buried there, a new tomb in a circle of graves.

The witch asked me to kneel in front of the grave. She untied the package in front of the grave, which was filled with some paper money and ingots. She took out a lighter and lit the paper money directly in front of the grave, and whispered something, but I didn't hear clearly.

Then, she took out a few more incense sticks from the package, lit them, and asked me to hold them in my hand, and then asked me to do what she told me when I came before.

I am frightened and don’t care about anything anymore. According to the witch’s instructions on the road before, I kowtowed three times to the grave.

"Cousin, cousin sister-in-law, I know I'm wrong. Please forgive me..."

I tossed and said this sentence over and over again. After a few times, the witch coughed lightly and whispered: "Put a stick of incense in front of the grave, walk around the grave three times, don't look back!"

Although I don't understand what it means, I can only do it at this time.

I stood up, inserted a burning incense in my hand into the grave, and then walked around the grave with a few more incense sticks in my hand.

The grave is not big, and if you take a step, you can circle the grave in at most seven or eight steps.

During the first lap, I didn’t feel anything, just like walking normally.

When I reached the second lap, I felt something was wrong.

There was a vague feeling that this grave seemed to be bigger than the one just now.

During the first lap, I took eight steps.
