Zhong Meihui arranged her work in the capital in an orderly manner. In the afternoon, she suddenly received a call from Yun Shanshan. She stuttered on the phone and was obviously frightened.

"It's not good, Sister Meihui, we...we have dug someone up, what should we do now?" Yun Shanshan tried her best to organize her words. She kept swallowing her saliva, unable to hide her nervousness.

Yun Shanshan has been with Zhong Meihui for many days, and she has long been able to stand alone. Zhong Meihui really can't think of anything that can scare her like this.

"We dug up a person! What do you mean!" Zhong Meihui was shocked when she heard the news. She thought it was a murder case. After careful questioning, she learned that they had dug an abandoned grave.

Yun Shanshan said that the farmyard they rented in the mountains had already filmed many cooking themes, so this time Chen Xiaoli planned to make a video about traditional charcoal burning.

This video was inspired by Li Zijia's idea of ​​burning bricks to build a house. That video received a lot of hits online and attracted countless fans.

Chen Xiaoli felt that this type of method was feasible. Even if the effect was not good, it was still a decent video. But when they were digging the ground to build the kiln, an accident happened. Under the land was a barren tomb, and there was still a coffin. A few human bones were faintly visible in the yellow-brown earth, which frightened the group.

"Sister Meihui, we have never encountered such a thing. That shovel was dug by Nie Fei. He is now completely frightened and his whole body is boiling hot. The fever has reached 40 degrees. Many people say that he is possessed by evil spirits. .”

Yun Shanshan was very scared when she talked about this. Now that Nie Fei has gone to the hospital, she and Chen Xiaoli are dependent on each other. Now they dare not go back to the dormitory and can only live in Zhong Meihui's house temporarily.

Yun Shanshan spoke intermittently, Zhong Meihui was confused and could only ask Xu Shuimiao, who was still in Lu County, to inquire about this matter.

"Shui Miao, go ask the third brother-in-law. This yard belongs to his relatives. You might be able to know something. The most important thing is to call the police. We are not qualified to deal with this body at will."

Zhong Meihui controlled the matter remotely, and soon Xu Shuimiao learned the truth about the matter from the third brother-in-law of the Chu family. This was indeed a barren grave, and buried in it was Wang Sanmei, who had escaped from famine in the 50s. She was once a local She was married, but she gave birth to two children and was unable to raise them. After that, her husband also died, so she was considered dead.

Therefore, her funeral was also very simple. When she was buried, she only used a thin coffin. However, after so many years, the thin coffin has long been oxidized in the ground, and now only a few scattered pieces are left. Broken wooden boards, and a corpse that had long been turned into a skeleton.

"Then why did you build a house on it? That house is also an old house. There is no reason why we didn't know that someone was buried under that yard."

Zhong Meihui found it very strange. The third brother-in-law had clearly said that it was the ancestral home of his relatives. Since it was the ancestral home, it must have been at least several decades old. According to the time, this barren grave was there when the house was built. Why? They will also insist on going their own way and build a house on a deserted grave.

"No one can tell clearly what happened in that era, but according to people familiar with the matter, the owner of this house had conflicts with Wang Sanmei's family. The purpose of building the house here was to suppress her and make her never recover. But this matter is not yours." It was done by relatives of the third brother-in-law's family. They also bought a house from someone else. It seemed that the original owner had deceived both families. I don't know what kind of hatred caused him to do such a vicious thing. .”

Xu Shuimiao also felt strange after hearing the ins and outs of this incident. However, after so many years, the original truth could no longer be verified, so he could only solve the immediate problem first.

"If that's the case, let's find someone to send the bones for cremation." Zhong Meihui heard that the police had determined the cause of Wang Sanmei's death. She was not a homicide, but died of illness. There is a record in the file. It is a normal death and can be cremated. bury.

"It's not that easy. There are more than just that family on the mountain. After hearing about the digging of the barren grave, they all felt that this matter must be handled properly, otherwise the entire family on the mountain will suffer. Now that place has been fenced off, and there are still I found someone to perform rituals and scattered valuables, which temporarily calmed everyone's emotions."

Xu Shuimiao felt that these things were purely feudal superstition. Death was like a lamp going out. If they were buried in the ground for a while, it would be difficult to even find the bones.

But the local residents are convinced that digging barren graves disturbs the spirits of the dead. If they are not handled properly, something big will happen.

In order to give them peace of mind and not cause other troubles, Xu Shuimiao had no choice but to temporarily obey their arrangements and backfill the excavated soil to temporarily cover the bones and wait for subsequent processing.

"Have the people around you said what to do about this matter? Do you need to move the grave?" Zhong Meihui remembered the custom in her hometown. When someone was requisitioning land before, they also encountered a barren grave. All the bones had to be removed and buried together. At that time, people in the village held a major ritual ceremony to liberate the souls of the dead.

Although this kind of thing is to comfort the living, it can make everyone feel a lot more relaxed. Otherwise, no matter what happens in the future, the first thing that comes to mind is ghosts, and those days will definitely be filled with trepidation. Something big must come out.

"It is indeed necessary to rebury, but now the village also promotes cremation and there is no cemetery." Xu Shuimiao feels that this matter is a bit embarrassing. Now this matter has caused panic. If it is just a simple cremation without a proper burial, I am afraid that the people around him will be dissatisfied.

They also wanted to use that yard to shoot videos. If they offended the people around them, future filming would definitely be very unsatisfactory. It was really not worth the gain.

Zhong Meihui tried to understand the logic of those people. They would definitely use this as a reason to ask for a grand funeral, just like Wang Sanmei had just passed away and had a decent funeral.

Of course, the person responsible for paying for the funeral was Zhong Meihui, but the benefits from the funeral belonged to the entire village.No formalities are required for funerals for people whose graves have been moved. Villagers they meet can eat a free meal of flowing water.

"There is no problem with the banquet. Since there is no problem with the police, let's cremate her body as soon as possible. Put the ashes in the urn first. The funeral will be handled after I return."

Zhong Meihui hasn't figured out how to deal with this matter yet, so she can only put it aside for the time being. At the same time, she plans to store Wang Sanmei's ashes in the house in the courtyard to prevent people around her from thinking that Wang Sanmei has been secretly buried.
