It was really one crisis after another. The villagers present were all in a panic and looked around. They saw a man in a dark blue cotton jacket running towards the execution ground.

Uncle San immediately became nervous. He waved at us and said, "Come here quickly. Something must have happened."

Instead, Chu Sen said to the man running towards us with an expectant look on his face, " Where are the zombies ?"

"Come here quickly, this is not the time to play around." Uncle San said to Chu Sen anxiously.

The villagers around quickly gathered around, each with a look of fear on their face.

The man in the blue cotton-padded jacket rushed into the crowd in one breath, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground, opening his mouth wide and taking deep breaths.

"Baozi, what did you see? Tell us in detail right away." An old man asked worriedly.

"I, I..." This man probably didn't do much exercise for a long time. After running all the way, he was too tired to speak. He sat on the ground panting for a long time before pointing to the north and said, "It's in the wild grave ditch, the collapsed woman's grave. I saw with my own eyes that the woman in the coffin pushed open the coffin lid, she, she..." Before he finished speaking, Baozi's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground and twitched.

"Baozi is having an epilepsy. Quickly stuff some cabbage leaves into his mouth to prevent him from biting off his tongue." Someone said in panic.

Uncle San pinched his chin, then pulled out a dagger from his body and pierced a small hole in the middle of his lower lip. After the blood flowed out, Baozi's violent convulsions immediately stopped. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm suffocating."

"Young man, don't panic. Tell me what you saw?" Uncle San asked while patting his back.

"I, I saw a corpse . The woman who died in childbirth crawled out of the coffin."

You Qing asked in astonishment, "Are you saying my mother's corpse has resurrected?"

Uncle San said, "Girl, don't be anxious. Let Baozi explain clearly."

Someone then brought some hot water, and Baozi took a sip and his emotions calmed down. He then told his previous experience in a halting manner.

Baozi likes to gamble and looks for someone to play cards with every day. If people from his own village happen to be unavailable that day, he will go to other villages to find a "card partner". Today he spent the whole afternoon playing in the neighboring village and was lucky enough to win all the money from three families. None of them wanted to play anymore, so Baozi happily went home with more than 7,000 yuan in cash. However, the old saying that excessive happiness leads to sorrow was verified. When he passed by the wild grave ditch between the two villages, he saw the coffin of You Qing's mother being pushed open with a bang, and a dried corpse with disheveled hair crawled out from the crack.

He was almost scared to death at that time and ran away. He was so panicked that he couldn't even find where his home was. When he saw a group of people gathered here, he ran towards the crowded place.

"My mother must have had a premonition of something. She won't hurt anyone, she will never hurt anyone." You Qing's emotions were a little out of control.

Uncle San said, "Don't be anxious. Let me take a look first." After that, he picked up the cloth bag and walked towards the scene of the accident, followed by a group of villagers who were watching the excitement.

Chu Sen whispered to me, "The mother must have sensed the child's soul , so she pretended to be dead."

"I don't believe a corpse would come back to life here. How many years have passed? How can a body be preserved for so many years without decaying?"

"It's not impossible. How many years have the mummies found in Mawangdui, the three-star area of Lop Nur, been here?" Chu Sen said.

"You're just being pedantic. Lop Nur is a desert. What kind of climate is that? This part of Jiangnan gets so much rain year-round. There's no way a body could have survived there."

"Don't be so sure. Maybe the coffin is waterproof." When Chu Sen said this, his expression showed that even he himself didn't quite believe it.

As we were talking, we arrived at the mass grave outside the ancestral tomb . It was strange to say that the local rural areas were developing very well, but even in the vicinity of these economically developed rural areas, there was a mass grave covering a relatively large area. Earthen graves covered with weeds could be seen everywhere in the cemetery , and none of the tombstones on the graves were complete. Of course, there were even more graves without even a tombstone in front of them, only a bare, desolate grave.

In the grave of You Qing's mother, there was indeed a big hole on the wall of the thin-skinned coffin that was full of cracks, but there was no dead person with disheveled hair . Could it be that You Qing's mother had already been exhumed?

Uncle San's brows were furrowed, his expression extremely serious. He raised his right hand, placed his five fingers together, and calculated silently for a long moment before expressing his bewilderment. "That's not right," he said. "According to today's solar terms, the unlucky star palace is in conflict with the Beidou palace. The yang in the heavenly palace and the yin in the earthly house are strong, which is not conducive to the resurrection of the corpse. Moreover, a corpse that has been exposed to the sun has no chance of resurrecting."

After that, he turned to Baozi and asked, "Young man, did you really see someone coming out of the coffin?"

"I swear to heaven, if I, Lu Tianyou, say a single word of nonsense, I will be struck to death by lightning immediately." He was so anxious that he raised both hands to swear, like a surrendering Japanese devil.

Uncle San didn't say anything else. He made a gesture, and Uncle Wu took out eight torches, lit them, and inserted them into eight directions with the grave as the center. The situation in the tomb was clearly visible under the light of the fire, and through the big hole, one could see that the coffin was empty, without even a strand of hair left.

"This is really a zombie." Someone whispered, but it was very quiet around us, so we could hear what he said clearly.

You Qing covered her mouth and cried silently.

I also felt bad. After enduring the death of a loved one, I had to endure the pain of "corpse transformation". This kind of pain would be indescribable for anyone.

"Look, there are footprints on the mound. The body is heading towards our village." After this shout was made, everyone was in a panic, and most of the villagers were about to run towards the village.

At this moment, Uncle San shouted, "Don't be afraid, these footprints are definitely not left by a dead person, because the shape of a foot is not what a mummy can have."

After my third uncle reminded me, I noticed that the footprints left on the loose soil of the grave mound were plump and round. The feet of a mummy would definitely not look like this.

The villagers also felt that what Uncle San said made sense, and those who were in a panic calmed down. A group of people gathered around Uncle San . No one spoke, but looked at Uncle San quietly, hoping for an explanation.

Uncle San was silent for a long time. He picked up a torch and walked to the grave to examine it carefully. Suddenly, he turned around and said, "This coffin must be carried out of the grave."

None of the villagers moved. You Qing wiped her tears and walked towards the grave. I said to Chu Sen, "Don't just stand there. It's our turn to show off."

"What? Let me carry the coffin?" Chu Sen said with his mouth wide open.

"Why, you don't want to?"

Chu Sen immediately reacted and said, "Yes, I definitely do." So the three of us walked to the grave and used the shovels sent by the villagers to dig up the loose soil on the grave. We saw that the thin coffin board inside had rotted beyond recognition. The smell of dust and moldy wood filled my nose, making me frown.

Without gloves or protective gear, I was hesitating whether to pick up the coffin board stained with corpse fluid with my bare hands. Luo Tianbao had already jumped into the tomb and started to move the coffin out. Chu Sen and I had no choice but to follow him in. The three of us worked together to lift out the rotten empty coffin and threw it aside.

After we got out of the tomb, Uncle San shone a torch on the tomb, and suddenly we saw a hole with a diameter of about half a meter in the tomb.

The dark cave was bottomless and seemed to be the entrance to hell . The more I looked at it, the more guilty I felt, so I quickly turned my eyes away.

However, I saw that the coffin we carried out rolled down the slope with its bottom facing up and was dangling on the ground. The wooden board at the base of the coffin was broken, revealing a large irregular hole. From the wooden edges around the hole, it can be seen that the hole has been corroded by the soil and moisture. It can be seen that this hole was caused a long time ago and has nothing to do with today's "corpse transformation".

Could it be related to the hole in the tomb? Did something crawl out of the hole and break the wooden boards at the base of the coffin?

When I thought of this, my hair stood on end and my scalp felt numb.

Uncle San didn't find the strange hole in the tomb scary. He actually bent down and pointed a torch at the hole. With the light of the fire, I could see more clearly. I actually saw a circle of wooden boards nailed around the hole wall.
