From Jiu Shu's world

After He Mengqing finished speaking, Henry Zhang said: "Do you still know where Li Dingfeng was buried?"

"I asked. It was buried on a barren hill outside the town. I asked about it from Old Li a few days ago."

He Mengqing is a well-prepared person. Although he didn't go to that barren mountain rashly, he asked about the location.

Henry Zhang nodded and said: "In this case, let's go and see together tomorrow to see if he is causing trouble."

The father and daughter nodded in unison, and this is the only way to do it now.

The next morning, several people got up early, and He Mengqing made breakfast for them.

After breakfast, He Mengqing handed Henry Zhang a pair of rubber shoes, and said, "Mr. Zhang, there are many barren mountains and mud, and there are snakes. It is safer to wear rubber shoes."

Henry Zhang smiled and said, “No, snakes can’t hurt me.”

He Mengqing showed a dazed look, and said, "I forgot."

He Mengqing believed in Henry Zhang's ability, not only because of He Lu's description of how he portrayed the talisman and sealed the curse on her body, but because the curse on He Lu did not occur.

This alone is enough for him to believe in Henry Zhang, no matter whether he is really capable or messing around, at least he has a way to make his daughter feel better.

The three of them went out, except for Henry Zhang who was still dressed in the usual way, both He Mengqing and his daughter were wearing rubber shoes with a hatchet, and they were ready to go up the mountain to open the way.

The reason why a barren mountain is a barren mountain is not because it is so primitive and barren, but because it is not within the scope of production activities of the townspeople.

Except for some specific people who chop firewood and collect mountain goods, generally no one will go up unless it is Qingming.

Most of these barren hills in the countryside are buried with people, and the bushes are lush. Maybe there is a bunny among the wild grass, standing alone next to you.

Burying people in barren hills, in fact, is also very particular. Some places have good feng shui, and most of them are the burial grounds of towns and villages. Each family has designated a place as a family burial ground.

But some barren hills are different. It is an abandoned land. Needless to say, the land is poor. Those buried here are those who died suddenly or children who died young, and some people who are not worthy of being buried in the clan land.

As soon as these people rolled their mats, they dug a hole and buried them. Two solid bricks were placed in front of the grave bag as a tombstone.

With Li Dingfeng's reputation back then, if the body hadn't been destroyed, the place where it was buried should be such an abandoned mountain.

Chapter 475 Digging a Grave

The barren hill has always been next to the town, and He Lu grew up listening to some stories about the barren hill, but now she is a little scared to go up the hill.

Those who go up the mountain to collect firewood and herd cattle often say that once it rains on this mountain, they will hear the cry of children.

Children die early, and according to local customs, they cannot be buried in coffins before they have a family or reach maturity, so when it rains, there will be no place to shelter them, and they will cry together and huddle under those big trees.

Therefore, if these people who often go up the mountain encounter rainy weather, even if they go home in the rain, they dare not hide from the rain under those big trees, for fear of messing with things and going home.

Those with light fate dare not go up the mountain when it is raining, for fear of seeing unclean things.

There are many wild ghosts in the barren mountains, He Lu grew up listening to these stories, and now going up the mountain in such a gloomy weather, she couldn't help but feel scared.

There are not many tall trees on the barren mountain, but there are many wild grasses and shrubs, which are connected together and cover all the way up the mountain.

Most of these shrubs have thorns, and if they are not careful when walking, they will catch their clothes and make walking difficult.

Adding a few people, it was morning on the mountain again, the dew hadn't cleared up, and the clothes were wet, making it extremely cold and uncomfortable.

He Mengqing was wearing a camouflage coat, and with a machete in his hand, he swept across the bushes from time to time, cutting off the weeds and bushes, and then pushed them aside.

The hatchet is very sharp, and the bushes can't resist it, but they have to argue their way from time to time, so they walk very slowly.

The few people walked for half an hour, made several turns, and finally reached the half-slope position. A low and small earth bag of some age appeared in front of the three of them.

He Mengqing looked complicated, he said: "This is it."

His grave is a bit desolate, covered with grass and even small trees, almost half the height of a person, probably no one has come here for some years.

Henry Zhang looked at the grave bag, his brows were slightly frowned, and there was indeed a faint yin air in the grave bag, but it seemed to disappear, which was unlikely to constitute that curse.

He said: "You wait for me to see the situation."

Zhang stretched out his hand to summon a ghost stag beetle, and then ordered: "Go in and have a look."

The ghost stag beetle flew out, landed on the grave bag, and quickly got into the grave bag.

The father and daughter of the He family knew that Henry Zhang was investigating the situation, so they didn’t dare to say more, so they waited quietly. After a long time, they suddenly saw Henry Zhang’s expression change.

Then, seeing the black ghost stag beetle crawling out again, he stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what did you find?"

Henry Zhang shook his head and said: "Nothing was found, the tomb is already empty."

"Empty?!"

Father He didn't understand Henry Zhang's meaning for a while, and asked suspiciously, and then saw a white light slashing towards the grave bag between waving hands.

The soil layer split into two in an instant, revealing the rotten mat inside and some fine funeral objects. There were many miscellaneous things, most of which were some of Li Dingfeng's daily necessities, which had been rotted away for decades.

The father and daughter immediately covered their noses to block the stench from the opening of the tomb. When they looked closely, they found that they could not see the corpse, Li Dingfeng's body was gone.

"Mr. Zhang, what's going on here?"

Henry Zhangdao: "The body was taken away, or he crawled out and left by himself."

Henry Zhang’s words made the father and daughter’s hearts tense, and they suddenly felt cold behind their backs. It seemed that there was a pair of eyes looking at the two of them up and down the barren hills.

Henry Zhang looked at the two and said, "This Li Dingfeng is probably related to this matter."

After the tomb was opened, the Yin Qi became more intense. Henry Zhang could already infer that Li Dingfeng had become a ghost after his death, but he didn’t know where it would go, and who was the ghost reminded behind it?

He Lu's grandmother Li Yanxue, or her mother Li Li?

While thinking about it, He Lu suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Henry Zhang, look at the letter paper!"

Henry Zhang looked around, and suddenly saw a piece of letter paper appearing on the ground at some point, old and yellowed, with black vertical lines, just like the two previous letter papers.

Henry Zhang moved the white paper into his hand, looked down at the contents of the letter paper, and saw a sentence scrawled on the letter paper: "Bayi High School, Class [-]"

The cursive handwriting is only half of the class, which seems to have been written hastily.

"This is where?"

He Lu leaned her head over to look, with a puzzled look in her eyes. It was the name of a high school, but she grew up in the town, but she had never heard of this place.

He Mengqing's face changed when he heard this name: "Old high school?!"

Henry Zhang and He Lu turned their heads to look at him, only to see Father He showing a bit of surprise, He Lu asked: "Dad, what is this place, why haven't I heard of it?"

He Mengqing took a deep breath, and then said: "Of course you haven't heard of it, that place is now called the Abandoned Building Yard, and it is used by people to pile up garbage."
