I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 61: The Deserted Village Crying
The newly turned earth piled up in piles on the barren hills, like new graves, except for the lack of tombstones.

Chen Qingyuan took the cigarette handed over by the foreman, lit it, took a deep breath, and the smoke he exhaled turned over and over in the air and dispersed with the wind. He had smoked before, but he simply didn't get used to it so he didn't smoke. However, on some special occasions, he would still follow the crowd to create an atmosphere...

He said with emotion: "I have been to Huangshan Village before. There seemed to be tombs on the top of this mountain. Have they been moved now?"

As soon as he said this, the foreman next to him looked embarrassed and asked carefully, "Does the grave on this mountain have anything to do with you, brothers?"

"No, just a stranger. I'm just paying my respects out of courtesy."

"Oh……"

The foreman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are several long-abandoned graves on this mountain. There are only a few families left in Huangshan Village. The company is rushing to build an aircraft launch station here, so the higher-ups asked us to find a random place to dump the unclaimed graves and bones."

Chen Qingyuan turned his head and looked at him, surprised: "You are disgracing the corpse. Aren't you afraid of disturbing the dead soul and causing trouble?"

The foreman was even more surprised than him and said, "Brother, you seem to be a cultured person. It's a different era now. Don't bring up feudal superstition. We didn't do it on purpose. If any descendants came out to claim the body, they wouldn't throw it into the pond. If they didn't throw it away, would they take it home?"

Chen Qingyuan was silenced by his words.

This……

He said: "With the scale of your construction site, you can definitely take the remains to another place, such as a cemetery for reburial."

The foreman laughed and said, “Do you expect the leader to spend money in a place like this?”

Chen Qingyuan was choked again, thinking that this foreman had a talent for talking...

The two were silent for a while. The foreman seemed to see what Chen Qingyuan was here for. He broke the silence and said, "Brother, to tell you the truth, those corpses were thrown into the pond at the foot of the mountain. If you need anything, just pay a little money. We have a pump on the construction site to help you drain the water from the pond. It should be no problem to use a crane to pull up a few skeletons."

He could see that Chen Qingyuan had a "rich" aura.

Chen Qingyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, let's exchange contact information. Please give me a call at the construction site. If I need anything, I will contact you directly. Money... no problem."

After exchanging phone numbers, the foreman went to work.

Chen Qingyuan glanced at his phone. It was a little after three in the afternoon and the weather was hot, which was a time when the yang energy was relatively strong.

He glanced at the pool of water hidden in the forest at the foot of the mountain, only a small part of it was exposed. Chu Renmei's body was thrown into the pool. According to the foreman's description, it had been at least half a month...

If Chu Renmei was a crazy ghost, her resentment would grow, and her bracelet would fall off. The first people she would kill would be the construction team...

But she didn't, instead she took a detour to kill the protagonist's friends and group.

why?

Could it be that the corpse oil used in the soul-calling ceremony was from Chu Renmei? This is not right. Chu Renmei died during the Republic of China. It is a blessing from God that only bones remain. Where did the corpse oil come from?

Chen Qingyuan scratched his hair. There were many vague details in the movie that were not mentioned until the end. For example, when the protagonist Ah Ming's friends played the ghost summoning game, they all said that they saw a female ghost in red, but Ah Ming, who had the ability to see ghosts, only saw Chu Renmei in blue...

Does the female ghost in red really exist?
At this moment, a breeze blew on his face, and the Bagua Jade Talisman on Chen Qingyuan's chest felt slightly hot. He suddenly came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked around, and didn't see anything suspicious.

He looked towards Huangshan Village in the east and decided to go into the village to find out if he could find any clues about the red-clothed female ghost. The known Chu Renmei was scary enough. If a red-clothed female ghost secretly attacked him during a one-on-one duel, this kind of stimulation would be unbearable...

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

Chen Qingyuan entered Huangshan Village alone. He should have felt warm in the afternoon sunshine, but the moment he stepped into Huangshan Village, he felt like he was in a natural ice cellar, feeling cold all over.

The houses in Huangshan Village were in tatters and tangled with vines. The wind blew across their wounds, and they whimpered, as if the houses had turned into lonely ghosts, howling and sobbing, and it was extremely desolate...

His eyes fell on the village monument of Huangshan Village. After a hundred years of wind and sun, the three words "Huangshan Village" on the monument became blurred and covered with moss.

When you are on the barren mountain, no matter how desolate it is, you can occasionally hear the chirping of insects and birds.

But Huangshan Village seems to be isolated from the world. Time has forgotten this place, and everything has fallen into dead silence...

The Bagua Jade Talisman on Chen Qingyuan's chest remained warm the entire time, reminding him that everything here was unusual. He entered the village and walked onto an old bridge. The river under the bridge had dried up, revealing the riverbed, which was cracked layer by layer, with stones leaning here and there. The gray-black background formed a unique painting of vicissitudes of life.

He suddenly stopped and saw the ancestral hall in the movie.

He pushed open the half-closed wooden door and went in. The cracks in the bluestone floor were full of weeds, and some of the floor tiles were even propped up by plants and uneven. What caught his eye was a huge altar table and a spirit tablet platform against the wall, which was densely packed with spirit tablets from top to bottom...

This is the ancestral hall shared by the entire village, so people with different surnames are represented here.

The Bagua Jade Talisman became even hotter.

Chen Qingyuan reached out and touched the demon-subduing pestle in his pocket, looked around, raised his hand and saluted, saying: "I passed by here and happened to hear about what happened that year. The dead are gone, and the living are still alive. It is reasonable for me to come in and pay my respects to everyone..."

The Bagua Jade Talisman is not that hot anymore...

There is incense on the altar, as if someone had worshipped here not long ago.

He took out three incense sticks and lit them with a portable lighter. He looked at the densely packed memorial tablets and said, "No matter what happened, I hope the deceased can rest in peace."

The smoke dispersed in the air, as if there was a response from the dead.

The wind blew back and forth in the ancestral hall, and the sobbing sound rang out again, even clearer this time, as if someone was crying bitterly next to my ear...

Chen Qingyuan lit the incense and saw a memorial tablet next to the altar with Chu Renmei's name written on it. This was one of the things that was wrong in the movie!

Chu Renmei was stoned to death by the villagers because of "adultery". She was considered a "village clown" and should not be made public. How could they possibly set up a memorial tablet for Chu Renmei in the ancestral hall?

The words on her memorial tablet were bright red, and it looked like someone had maintained it regularly, unlike other memorial tablets which were gray and faded.

He walked forward to wipe the cobwebs on the tablet and stepped on something. It was a tattered spirit tablet. He picked it up and saw the name "Park Wantian" written on it. This was Chu Renmei's husband, the only educated man and teacher in the village!
The wind suddenly blew harder, and the whimpering sound turned into a howl!

The incense stick that had just been inserted into the incense burner was broken in half and was roughly pulled out by an invisible hand, with sand and dirt scattered everywhere...
