Chapter 69 Possessed by an evil spirit?
One skeleton after another was dug out, and beneath the skeletons were some Japanese military uniforms.
Liu Zhongze tossed it aside and continued digging deeper.
He ignored the remains of these Japanese invaders from Japan who had invaded China, leaving the bones to bask in the sun.
He dug for almost half an hour before he unearthed all the bones of the dozen or so Japanese soldiers under the wolf's tail grass, but he still couldn't find the scholar's bones.
Liu Zhongze stretched his waist and then continued digging to the other side.
Xu Zhen watched for a long time before finally deciding to come and help. He dug under the remaining untouched foxtail grass.
About half an hour later, Liu Zhongze's fingernails were covered in mud, and he could feel pain in his hands, but he did not stop. Instead, he touched a bone.
The bone showed signs of being broken. Liu Zhongze carefully expanded the excavation area and said to Xu Zhen, "Stageman, I found it."
Xu Zhen walked over, wiping the sweat from his face with the back of his hand. He looked at Liu Zhongze's cautious demeanor and unconsciously held his breath.
Beneath the foxtail grass, only a large portion of the human skeleton was hidden. The limbs of the skeleton were all missing, leaving only the skull, sternum, and coccyx.
Rumors and reality align, and Xu Zhen felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around to look, only to find nothing behind him.
"Teacher Liu... what are your plans after you dig him out?"
Liu Zhongze stood beside the skeleton and saw that the soil had become completely wet, as if the ground had been flooded.
"Stagehand, could you do me a favor?"
"What kind of help?"
"Could you go out and buy a coffin, or one of those wine jars for storage? I plan to bury the scholar properly."
Xu Zhen didn't know how he ended up like this. He always felt that something was hidden nearby, but when he went to check, he would find that there was nothing there.
"Buy wine vats...buy wine vats."
Xu Zhen murmured repeatedly, afraid that he would forget what he was supposed to do.
Coffins are hard to find, but wine jars are readily available. In Maolin City, many families make their own wine, and the wine jars come in two types: transparent and old-fashioned, both of which are excellent for making wine.
Xu Zhen took a sturdy wine vat, paid for it, and asked the shopkeeper to carefully lift the vat onto the back of the electric scooter and tie it tightly with a red rope before Xu Zhen drove back to the village.
It was already afternoon, and the crew members were busy in the village. When they saw Xu Zhen, they would greet him with a smile, but when they saw Xu Zhen's pale face and sweat, they would become suspicious.
"Brother Zhou, what do you think is wrong with the production crew?"
Zhou Ge stared in the direction Xu Zhen had left, took a deep breath, and whispered, "He's not possessed, is he? Now he's planning to bury himself in that wine vat... We're doomed! Xiao Li, his symptoms are even worse than yours last night, we need to stop him right now!"
Xiao Li shuddered and said, "Brother Zhou, I... I'm scared."
"What are you afraid of in broad daylight? It's those dirty things hiding from us, not us being afraid of them. Hurry up and go with your brother Zhou, or the crew might be beyond saving."
The two put down their equipment and ran as fast as they could towards the mountain road. After running for about ten minutes, they saw the electric scooter parked at the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Li hesitated. Even after hearing about what happened last night, he was still uneasy.
"Brother Zhou, do we really want to go in?"
"Since we're already here, how can we just stand by and watch someone die? Let's go."
The two had only walked a few minutes along the mountain path when they saw Xu Zhen struggling to walk while carrying a wine jar on his back.
The two men immediately rushed over and pinned Xu Zhen down, trying to control him while simultaneously attempting to wake him up: "Stagehand, don't do anything foolish! Don't let this filthy thing distract you!"
"Yes, stagehand, please come back soon, don't let us go down this path of no return!"
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Xu Zhen was already somewhat dazed, unable to distinguish whether he was also in the movie plot. As a result, he was not calm, and his consciousness was also wavering due to excessive sweating and physical exhaustion. Suddenly, this thing brought him back to his senses.
Xu Zhen didn't have the strength to shake off the two, but he still reminded them, "Be careful of the wine vat; that's what Teacher Liu wants."
Brother Zhou was taken aback. Although he was still exerting force with his hands, his tone became cautious as he asked, "Stagehand, are you not possessed?"
"I'm under some kind of spell from Grandma, I'm just a little tired, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Brother Zhou awkwardly released his hands, and Xiao Li, standing nearby, quickly followed suit.
"Xiao Li, you had an accident last night, what brings you here today to cause trouble?"
Before Xiao Li could speak, Brother Zhou spoke up first: "Stageman, don't blame Xiao Li. I started this. I saw that you looked off and thought that what happened last night was going to happen again. I wanted to come and rescue you with Xiao Li, but I didn't expect things to turn out differently."
Knowing that the two had done it to save him, Xu Zhen stopped blaming them. Just as he was about to persuade them to leave, he heard Liu Zhongze's voice from afar.
"Stageman, you can put the wine vat down now. Could you please go and fetch the remaining incense, candles, and paper money from last night?"
Xu Zhen looked at the two of them and said, "Perfect timing, you two come and help out. Go outside and buy some more incense, candles, and paper money. Also, go to the bookstore and buy some literature and history books. Come find me here after you're done. Teacher Liu and I still have things to do. If the director asks you any questions, just tell him. The director won't make things difficult for you."
Xu Zhen tugged at the red rope binding him. The wine vat was very heavy, and without the red rope, he would have had a hard time carrying it.
Zhou Ge and Xiao Li exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled.
"Teacher Liu? I remember the director called that actor playing the ghost 'Teacher Liu' yesterday too. Could the production assistant be with him?"
Hearing Zhou Ge's doubts, Xiao Li asked, "Zhou Ge, is Teacher Liu really that capable?"
As Zhou and Xiao Li walked along the mountain path, he shook his head and explained, "I don't know. His ghost-playing skills are amazing, and he was very calm last night. He even looked a bit like a Taoist priest. I just don't know if he's really capable."
Filled with doubt, the two left the mountains and bumped into director Zhao Dekai as soon as they stepped outside.
It turned out that Zhao Dekai discovered that the camera and recording equipment had been left in the alley, and that Brother Zhou and Xiao Li, who were responsible for moving the equipment, were nowhere to be found. After inquiring, he learned that the two were hiding in the mountains, so he ambushed them at the foot of the mountain, intending to trap them like turtles in a jar.
Before the director could even make a move, Brother Zhou had already explained things clearly.
Zhao Dekai nodded and instructed, "Buy more, and you can also bring some gold ingots and paper figures. I'll reimburse you later."
Liu Zhongze now holds a very high position in this drama, not only second to the director but even above him, which is the effect of Liu Zhongze's acting skills.
