We two crept along a row of big poplar trees on the west side of the wasteland and slowly moved forward. We stopped at a position parallel to the light and squatted behind a big tree. We were about 17 or 18 meters away from the other party. In the quiet night, their voices could be heard clearly. Even the few people standing in front of the grave mound could be seen clearly under the illumination of several flashlights.
"Everyone hurry up, we have to finish it before two o'clock, otherwise we will miss the deadline and it will be troublesome!"
Sure enough, Chen Jingbo was here. I had seen most of the other people. I had gone with them to the cornfield to search for the man surnamed Lu. Gong Chao was also among them. They were holding trowels used for building houses and were rebuilding the destroyed grave mound.
Chen Jingbo just stood aside with his hands behind his back, looking like a supervisor.
Shen Bing didn't know Chen Jingbo yet, and thought he was also a villager of Zhaozhuang. She stared at him curiously and asked, "Why are they tinkering with an empty grave in the middle of the night?"
"My sister-in-law must have been brought back. She is inside the grave mound. Otherwise, do you really think they have nothing to do and would build an empty grave mound?" I said with a sneer.
"Ah, how did you know?" Shen Bing was startled and looked back at me.
"Guess."
"Why don't we go and stop them now before the grave mound is repaired?" Shen Bing said as he was about to stand up.
I put my hand on her shoulder and whispered, "Wait a minute. I feel like there's something fishy going on. This might be a trap." I took out two talismans from my bag and put one on each of our chests.
"You sometimes think too much and think of traps in everything. Don't you think that there are so many traps..."
Shen Bing was mumbling something, and I covered her lips and shushed her. At this time, Chen Jingbo turned around with a flashlight and shone it in our direction. He seemed to have heard something, and Shen Bing and I shrank back behind a tree in fear. The two of us huddled together tightly, not daring to breathe.
"What are you afraid of? There are only a few of them. Can't the two of us handle them?" Shen Bing bit my ear and lowered her voice to the lowest possible level.
I thought to myself, you silly girl, now is not the time to deal with people, that is a vicious feng shui situation that will kill people. They are repairing it step by step. If anything goes wrong, it will cost these people their lives.
"Hey, remember to leave a hole in the southeast corner of the grave." Chen Jingbo shouted, shining a flashlight on a corner of the grave.
Gong Chao knocked on the bricks a few times with a tile knife and asked, "Xiaobo, why do you need to leave a bone in there if you want to just leave a hole? It looks like a human leg bone to me."
"Uncle Gong, stop asking so many questions. If you want Ruoruo to be reborn smoothly, you have to do this." Chen Jingbo said with a straight face.
Gong Chao said "Oh" and picked up the tile cutter to work again. I understood what he said. I had explained it to Gong Chao last night. It was all the work of the man surnamed Lu. Why did he mess up the grave mound again? It turned out that he listened to the instigation of Chen Jingbo, the bastard, and Gong Chao was willing to accept the instructions for his daughter's reincarnation. But you are an old fool. I'm afraid you don't know that your daughter has been detained by him at this moment? If you knew, you probably wouldn't chop the bricks with the tile cutter, but directly chop Chen Jingbo's forehead.
I touched my nose and thought about it. There were bones left in the grave. Was that related to the leg bone stuck under Zhao Chengshi's bed? The nailed grave used women to attract evil spirits, then leaned over the women and sent evil spirits through the bones...
