Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 141
Qiu Taigong was very surprised and asked me how I did it. Everyone in the village said it was an explosion. Although he is 89 years old, his ears are very good, and he did not hear the explosion yesterday.

I told Taigong Qiu that I was a ghost hunter invited by a family in the next village, and that the hanged ghost hid in the old house, so I came to ask him about the old house a few days ago.I also learned that he was the production team leader of the village in the past, and he was the one who led the demolition of the old house, but he was crushed to death by bricks as soon as he started.

But I'm tearing it down right now. Of course, it's not just my own credit. As for how to do it, it's a long story.

Mr. Qiu still didn't quite believe it, because in his eyes I was just a half-grown child. He told me a lot of ghost stories these days, but he didn't expect that I was the one who dealt with ghosts. He thought it was too surprising.

I helped Taigong Qiu to sit under the banyan tree. At this time, no other old people came out, and Taigong Qiu and I were the only two people under the banyan tree.

I asked Grandpa Qiu if he knew where the former owners of the old house, that is, the landowner couple, were buried after death, and where their hanged son was buried.After asking these two questions, I remembered a dream I had that night, and immediately added another question, asking Grandpa Qiu if the landlord couple still had a young son.

Taigong Qiu answered the third question first, and told me that he had never heard of a young son. The landlord and his wife belonged to his grandfather's generation, while the hanged ghost belonged to his father's generation.Taigong Qiu told me that his father was born in 1874, and the hanged ghost was a few years older than his father, so it should have been in 1865.When the hanged ghost hanged himself, he was only 25 or 19 years old when he just married his wife, that is, in the 90s, when his father was just [-] or [-] years old.

After Qiu Taigong finished speaking, he told me the place where the hanged ghost was buried. When he was a child, every family in the village forbade their children to play in the back valley because that was where the hanged ghost was buried.

As for the landowner and his wife, they were buried on the slope of the back mountain, but because they had no descendants, no one visited the tomb. Hundreds of years have passed, and the cemetery has been washed away by the rain. How can they find a place? !
I asked Qiu Taigong where the back valley where the hanged ghosts were buried, and if he could take me there.

Qiu Taigong said that he couldn't walk that far when he was too old, so he asked me to find someone else to lead the way. Everyone in the village knew Houshangou.

That's right, everyone knows about the Houshangou, so why should Mr. Qiu take his age with him!So I planned to find Lao Er Qiu, so I immediately left the big banyan tree and walked towards Lao Er Qiu's house.

When I walked to the door of Qiu Laoer's house, I heard noisy voices coming from his house. It seemed that something had happened, and there were many people's voices inside.I went in and took a look, and sure enough there were many people in the room, including Qiu Laosan and his wife, Qiu Laoer's own wife, and some other neighbors.

Qiu Laosan was the first to see me, his eyes lit up immediately, as if he had seen a savior, he hurriedly pulled me into the room, saying that his second brother couldn't get out of bed.

I was shocked when I heard that, the people in the room immediately moved away, and I sat by the bed, only to see Qiu Laoer lying on the bed with his eyes open, his whole body was awake.When Qiu Laoer saw me, he immediately said that after waking up this morning, he wanted to get up but found that his hands and feet were unable to support his body, and asked me what happened.

The people behind also asked one after another, Qiu's second wife burst into tears, and kept saying that the hanged ghost came again, why is his ghost still lingering!
I told the people in the room that the purpose of my trip to Majiang was because of my aunt's weakness in hands and feet, which was caused by the haunted ghosts of the hanged ghost.I didn't expect that after demolishing the old house, there would be one more person like this. I will definitely find out the reason as soon as possible.

Qiu Laoer's eyes were full of helplessness, and he told me that Agou was probably like him now, and his limbs were weak and he couldn't get out of bed. It really hurt Agou.Qiu Laoer said he was very puzzled, why am I fine!Still alive and well, I was the one who hit the wall, and they were just holding on to the ladder.

I am also very depressed, why am I fine!Could it be that the evil spirit of the hanged ghost cannot get close to me because I have a bronze knife on me?At the same time, I'm also very fortunate that if I can't get out of bed, then no one will reveal the cause of this incident and the secret behind it.

I stood up and assured the dozen or so people in the room that the matter would be resolved within three days, and asked Lao San Qiu to come with me.

Qiu Lao San didn't hesitate, but his wife held him back, saying that he couldn't let Lao San take risks, and there were still seven children to raise at home!If something goes wrong, what should I do like my second brother.

The neighbors echoed Mrs. Qiu's words, saying that Mr. Qiu is not Mr. Yin and Yang, so there is no need for him to go with him!
I told them that I just wanted Laosan Qiu to take me off the road, and that it was enough to take me to the back valley, because there are so many valleys in the back mountain, and I don't know which one is called the back valley.

Qiu Laosan asked me what I was doing in the back valley, so I dragged him into the hall and whispered in his ear about digging the grave, digging the grave of the hanged ghost.

Qiu Laosan looked surprised, and asked me how I knew that the hanged ghost was buried in the back valley. Even he, who had lived in the village for more than 30 years, didn't know.

I can't help but feel depressed, everyone in the back valley knows about it, but not many people know that the hanged ghost is buried in the back valley. It seems that you have to ask the older ones, I told Qiu Laosan not to go, just lend me a good hoe .

Qiu Laosan immediately took out a hoe from a room, the kind used for digging foundations for houses in rural areas, thick and pointed, and the hoe digs deep into the soil.

I took the hoe and told the people in the room not to panic too much, I will definitely solve it, and then I left Qiu Laoer's house and returned to the big banyan tree.

Mr. Qiu was still smoking a long pipe and basking in the sun. At this time, there were many old people sitting under the banyan tree. I walked over and asked Mr. Qiu about the location of the ravine where the hanged ghost was buried.

Qiu Taigong looked at the hoe on my shoulder and asked me what I wanted to do, to dig someone's grave?
I didn't hide anything, and replied that yes, I had to dig, and I wanted to unravel some secrets. Qiu Laoer couldn't get up anymore, maybe it was because I went to demolish the old house with me yesterday.

Mr. Qiu was startled at first, then sighed, saying that the hanged ghost was too raw, and asked me if I was not afraid of accidents.

I smiled and said that if something happened to me, I would have had an accident a long time ago, so I can stand here and ask you.

Taigong Qiu also smiled, took a puff of smoke at me, and said that I could tell that he must be very capable to be a husband at such a young age.Qiu Taigong looked at the rising sun, and then told me that there are three ditches flowing down the mountain behind the village. The largest of these three ditches, walk up for 5 minutes, and you can see a big mound.According to what his father told him when he was a child, the hanged ghost was buried on that big mound, and he was never allowed to play there.

I was very excited when I heard it, thanked Mr. Qiu, and walked directly to the ravine behind the village. After walking out of the end of the village, I saw three ravines.I chose the biggest one and went up. After walking through the dense reed grass for 5 minutes, I came to a big mound.

This big mound is not a mountain, it is about the size of two basketball courts combined, and the height is only as high as a floor. If this is a grave mound, the coffin inside must be at least as big as an extended bus!

The sun was too high and I didn’t ask Tongtong to come out. I went to the big mound and looked around. There was no grave mound on it. It should be buried flat when the corpse was buried, that is, the soil was filled and the surrounding area after the coffin was lowered. Same.But it's been too long, maybe it was washed away by the rain, but no trace can be found anyway.

100 years have passed, and the coffin should have turned into mud!That bone should have turned into mud, so I don't know if I can find it this time.In fact, it is best if you can’t find it, then it can prove that the corpse buried under the room of the old house is the hanged ghost. If you find it, it will be difficult to know who is buried in the room.

I was walking on the big mound, and suddenly my mind turned, thinking that the grass and trees in the place where the corpses are buried will grow well, because there is a corpse as fertilizer.The fertilizer from a corpse can be absorbed by the vegetation above it for several years, and during these several years, the vegetation that absorbs the fertilizer from the corpse grows far taller and more lush than the surrounding ones.Look at where the vegetation grows last in this big mound, then the place below must be the place where the hanged ghost is buried.

I walked over the whole big mound, which was mostly small shrubs, such as dragon fern and nimbusa.At this time, these Nirvana trees are in the blooming season, and the pink flowers are blooming all over the valley and the entire mound, which is very beautiful.

I didn't find unusually tall plants growing on the big mound, because these are small shrubs with a life cycle of only a dozen years, no matter how good they were at the beginning, they have already turned into mud.

I couldn't find the place where the corpse was buried, so I had to ask Tongtong, her voice echoed in my ear, saying that there was only a coffin but no corpse inside, at least she couldn't detect it.

Hearing Tongtong say this, I felt very puzzled. Qiu Taigong's father said that the hanged ghost was buried here, so how could there be no body?His father and the hanged ghost were about the same age, so they must have witnessed it buried here with their own eyes. Could it be that they were dug away after being buried?

I thought about it and felt very contradictory. I told Tongtong that there must be no corpse after so long, and even the bones had turned into mud!Tell me where the coffin is.

Tongtong said it was twenty steps ahead of where I was standing, but there were only a few stones in the coffin.

I was very excited when I heard it. If there were no bones, it might have turned into mud long ago. It would be fine if I could find a little trace.Tongtong is just a ghost, and he doesn't know what it means to be buried for hundreds of years. The absence of bones does not necessarily mean that the body was never buried.

I immediately walked [-] steps forward and stopped. Tongtong said that it was here, and there was a coffin underneath.
