Volume 1 Chapter 012 Ghost Opens His Eyes
Uncle San kept saying something in my ear, but I couldn't hear it at all. My head was buzzing. It took a long time for me to recover. I felt like I had a serious illness and was shaking all over.
Turning his head again, he saw Lin Wenjing leaning against the edge of the well with her eyes closed. There was a strange rune on her forehead, its color was bright red, and it was obviously drawn with blood.
It was not until this moment that my uncle’s voice suddenly poured into my ears.
"You almost lost your life, did you know that?" Uncle San said sternly. But even though his words were harsh, I could see worry in his eyes. This old man, he was obviously very gentle at heart, but he had to act so rudely.
I asked him if he had any food or drinks, and Uncle San said he didn't run a restaurant, so where did he get these things from? I was very disappointed and said, "What a person you are. You don't even bring some biscuits when you go out. What a person!"
Uncle San said get lost.
I was really hungry, but I choked on some water in the well and accidentally swallowed it all. Although this water...it's better than dying of thirst.
I rested for a long time and finally recovered a little. I saw that there was a cut on the index finger of my uncle's right hand. I knew that the blood symbol on Lin Wenjing's forehead must have been drawn by him, so I asked what symbol it was and why I had never seen it before. Did you, old man, hide some special skills?
Uncle San cursed me as a "little bastard" and told me to get up quickly. I had no choice but to get up from the ground and pat my butt. Uncle San pointed at Lin Wenjing and said, "Go and give the Lin family's daughter a breath of fresh air."
I was confused for a moment and had no idea what this old man meant.
"Old man, you don't have a fever, do you?" I rushed over and was about to touch my uncle's forehead, but he pushed me away.
How can a living person pass on qi to a dead person? You should know that a corpse is pure yin, and when a living person passes on qi to a dead person, it contains a breath of yang. This is called "a little yang in a sea of yin", and it is a taboo in our industry. If you are unlucky and encounter a problematic corpse, then it will be a light punishment for you to be transformed into a corpse!
"Just do it when I tell you to. Why are you wasting time talking?" Uncle San urged me to hurry up from behind.
I thought about it and still felt uneasy, so I said that if you want to go, you go, and I won’t go! Uncle San kicked me and said, “You are talking so much nonsense. If you don’t go, who will go?”
In our profession, a virgin is of course the most vigorous. But I was not convinced: "Who knows if you are a virgin?" For so many years, my third uncle raised me all by himself, without a woman. I had every reason to doubt.
But no matter what I said, I still had to obey Uncle San's orders. I had no choice but to go over and pick up the girl from the Lin family, lay her flat on the ground, then put my mouth to hers and blew a breath into her mouth.
Although I usually come into contact with many corpses, this is the first time I do this . It felt cold on my lips, which was a very strange feeling. Fortunately, I was facing the girl from the Lin family who I had known since childhood, which reduced my psychological burden a little.
After taking a breath, there was no obvious change in Lin Wenjing's body. Uncle San was standing by with a gloomy face, as if he was worried. I felt a little strange and asked him if something happened. He pointed at Lin Wenjing and asked me to carry her on my back and go home with him.
I said, do you still have any humanity? You let a person who hasn't eaten for three days and three nights do such physical work! Uncle San said, "Three days and three nights, it's only two days and one night at most. You won't starve to death!" I quickly held the girl of the Lin family close to my body and never let her go.
I had no choice but to carry Lin Wenjing on my back and ask him what he meant by that.
"You still have the nerve to ask! Do you know that if you pull the girl from the Lin family out of the water, you will be in big trouble?" Uncle San had a dark face and urged me to get on the road quickly.
Lin Wenjing was a little girl, and her body was petite. She wasn't too heavy to carry on my back, but her body was cold, and it felt a little strange to press against my back. I retorted, "What's wrong with fishing that girl out? Are you going to let her sink in the well? Do you have any humanity left?"
Uncle San glared at me and told me to run a few steps quickly. Damn it, I am a donkey, even if I am a donkey, I have to eat first! But looking at Uncle San's look, I knew that something serious must have happened, so I quickened my pace.
Later, we met a fellow villager from the next village on the road . He happened to be driving a truck back home and gave us a ride. Uncle San sat in the passenger seat and told me to go to the car. I knew he deliberately sent me away because he was afraid that the driver would see that I was carrying a dead person.
The car drove smoothly along the way, and the driver was very enthusiastic. He didn't drop us off until we reached the village entrance. Uncle San urged me along the way, so I had to grit my teeth and rush forward.
As soon as we entered the village, we saw flames rising in the air, as if someone in the village was on fire. Uncle San slapped his thigh hard and asked me to carry the girl from the Lin family and find a place to hide first, so that no one could see me. He went into the village alone to check the situation.
Before leaving, he told me to hold Lin Wenjing close to my body and never let her leave. I nodded in agreement, and after Uncle San left, I found an abandoned house at the entrance of the village and hid in it. Later, I thought about the direction of the fire, which seemed to be my home, and I couldn't help but feel a shudder.
I found a place to sit down and held the girl from the Lin family in my arms. Although I was very familiar with her and liked her very much, she was a corpse after all. As the saying goes, humans and ghosts are different. Her cold body pressed against me always made me feel a little weird. I felt sad and a little scared. I couldn't describe the feeling.
The blood mark on her forehead was bright and new, as if it had just been painted. After sitting in the dark for a while, I could faintly hear noisy voices coming from the village. I was a little restless and accidentally glanced at Lin Wenjing and found that her eyelids seemed to twitch.
I thought I was dazzled, but soon found out that it wasn't. The Lin family girl's eyelids twitched quickly again, and her long eyelashes trembled.
I was so scared that my face turned pale. It's not like I haven't seen corpses open their eyes before, but they always open instantly. In our industry, it's called "ghost eyes opening", and there are many reasons. But I've never seen a corpse open its eyes with foreplay before opening them.
This is a serious matter. Either the corpse will rise up or the evil spirit will transform. Someone will die!
My hair stood on end, and I panicked. I tried my best to save her life, so I pressed my hand on her mouth and breathed her a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I won the bet, and the Lin family girl's eyelids finally stopped twitching.
I was sweating profusely, silently praying that my uncle would die and come back to me. If he didn't come back, I was afraid I would go to see the King of Hell first!
I don't know if my curse worked, but just when I was feeling miserable, I heard Uncle San's voice calling me from outside. I felt relieved and quickly carried Lin Wenjing out. Uncle San's face and clothes were covered with streaks of black ash, and he looked so smoky and said with red eyes, "Our house has been burned down, it's all over!"
I got angry when I heard that and said that my schoolbag and Lin Wenjing's photo were still in the room! Uncle San slapped me and said, "It's already this hour, and you're still thinking about your crappy photo! Isn't she carrying you behind your back?"
Fortunately, I had saved all my savings in the bank, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money. I was wondering what happened, why did our house catch fire?
Uncle San rubbed his teeth and asked me to carry the girl from the Lin family and follow him quickly, talking as we walked.
"Fuck his grandma, I must make the Liu family pay for it!" Uncle San cursed fiercely. I listened for a while and found out that the cause of the fire tonight was very strange. Everything in the house was burned to a mess, and the coffin in the main room was also burned to charcoal, but the body in the coffin was missing.
"I knew something was going to happen, but I didn't expect to be a step too late!" Uncle San glared at me with a dark face, "It was all caused by you, little bastard. Who told you to get the girl from the Lin family out!"
Damn, they are blaming me for this. I am also a victim. Half of the property burned in the house belonged to me!
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Is the fire in our family related to Liu Nan?"
Uncle San chuckled, "If it's not related to this ghost girl, then who else could it be related to? That Zhong guy is really mean. He actually came up with this idea. He swapped the bodies of this ghost girl and the girl from the Lin family and sewed them together. In this way, the ghost girl and the girl from the Lin family became twins. And then, he sealed the body of the girl from the Lin family in the Frost Bone Well, so that the evil spirit in the ghost girl can be suppressed as much as possible!"
"Now that you have fished out the body of the Lin family's daughter, that ghost girl will no longer be able to control herself. It would be strange if she doesn't find the body!"
I was puzzled: "Cold Bone Well? Isn't it a trumpet urn?"
Uncle San rolled his eyes at me and said, "The trumpet jar is a kind of tomb structure. This octagonal well uses the principle of the trumpet jar to form a sealing effect at the bottom of the well. Do you feel anything unusual about the well water?"
“It’s cold!”
Uncle San said that this is right. This well is the Cold Bone Well. It can not only seal away resentment, but also accumulate negative energy. The corpse sinks to the bottom of the well. Not only will the body not decay, but it will also be unable to be reborn forever.
When he saw me pull the girl out of the Lin family, Uncle San knew that things were bad, and he immediately bit his finger and drew a bloody symbol on Lin Wenjing's forehead. Although I doubted the effect of this ghostly drawn symbol, it was a fact that it saved my life.
Afterwards, my third uncle asked me to pass on some Yang energy to Lin Wenjing and hold her close to him, so that he could use my virgin body to restrain the evil energy.
"So, the girl surnamed Liu ran away?" I still couldn't believe it. I couldn't imagine that a corpse that had been lying in a coffin for such a long time suddenly crawled up and ran away by itself.
People in our line of work have come across some corpses in the countryside, such as a corpse that has just died. If it comes into contact with a black cat at midnight, it may resurrect. But this only applies to newly dead people, who still have a breath of Yang in their bodies, so it is possible for them to resurrect. I have never seen someone like Liu Nan!
Uncle San said, "Let's stop talking nonsense and hurry up." I asked where to go, and Uncle San said with a dark face, "Of course, we should go to the Liu family to pay the money!" We stopped a car on the road. Fortunately, it was late at night, and the driver couldn't tell that I was carrying a dead person.
