Zhang Yunyao had expressed her gratitude to me more than once today.
I didn't expect her to bring it up again.
After all that activity, I was quite exhausted.
I leaned back against a coffin, gave Zhang Yunyao a weak smile, and said, " You don't have to be so polite. As I said before, this is what I should do. After all, I took your family's money."
"No, you're different from other Feng Shui masters. Completely different! Before, when our ancestral grave had problems, we also consulted other Feng Shui masters. But as soon as they saw the situation was not good, they left. Either they weren't capable or they couldn't handle the job. But you, you're willing to risk your life for our family's sake." Zhang Yunyao said excitedly.
Actually, what I thought was, it wasn't that I was willing to risk my life. It was just that I was forced to.
This was my first time taking on a job, and Uncle Huzi and I were truly desperate. If I didn't take this job, we wouldn't even have money to eat.
I didn't expect to encounter such a thing during my first job. It was truly frustrating.
Money is hard to earn, and things are hard to do.
Since I had already agreed to do this, I had to grit my teeth and deal with it properly.
This was also a rule left by my master.
But I couldn't say that to Zhang Yunyao.
I quickly changed the subject and said, "Go quickly, go home and get some things. Come back soon. These workers won't last much longer."
Zhang Yunyao nodded heavily and then quickened her pace, running towards the car.
I watched her drive away quickly, and I felt much more at ease.
The reason why I asked her to go home and get vinegar was mainly because I didn't have enough glutinous rice.
My master had told me before that using vinegar with ashes from the bottom of the pot could also resolve corpse poison, but the effect was much weaker.
The ashes from the bottom of the pot were formed by being burned by intense heat, they have very strong yang energy, which can restrain zombies, which are extremely yin creatures.
It was a desperate measure.
After Zhang Yunyao left, I was the only one with open eyes in the Zhang family's ancestral grave.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
At this time, I suddenly started to worry about Uncle Huzi.
I didn't know where he went.
All the workers were found, even the rowdy Zhang Yunliang was found, but only Uncle Huzi was missing.
If anything happened to him, I wouldn't be able to explain it to my master.
Just as I was thinking about this, I suddenly heard faint footsteps coming from nearby.
I peeked out from behind the coffin and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
Because I suddenly saw Uncle Huzi walking over from one side of the Zhang family's ancestral grave.
I was about to call out to him, but then I stopped.
I noticed that Uncle Huzi wasn't quite right.
Mainly, his way of walking was very strange.
He was walking on tiptoes, his body leaning slightly forward.
In the dim moonlight, I noticed that Uncle Huzi's facial expression was also off.
His face was dull, his eyes were vacant, and his mouth was slightly open.
It felt as if someone was behind him, controlling him, making him walk forward.
When I looked closely, I also noticed a ball of red light hovering above Uncle Huzi's head, emanating a very strong ominous energy.
With just one glance, I concluded that something dirty must have possessed Uncle Huzi's body.
Uncle Huzi wasn't walking towards me.
He was walking towards the small grove nearby.
There was someone else in that grove, the unconscious Zhang Yunliang.
What was Uncle Huzi doing in that grove?
I took a deep breath, stood up, and secretly followed behind Uncle Huzi towards the grove.
I watched as Uncle Huzi walked with his strange gait.
He quickly reached Zhang Yunliang's side, bent down, straightened his legs, and reached out to pick up Zhang Yunliang from the ground.
He dragged him towards the other side of the grove.
At this moment, Uncle Huzi's legs seemed unable to bend, and he was incredibly strong.
Zhang Yunliang must have weighed at least 130-140 pounds.
Uncle Huzi easily picked him up with one hand and dragged him forward.
Seeing this, my heart sank.
I thought to myself, Uncle Huzi must be going to do something bad to Zhang Yunliang.
I had to stop him.
But I had just fought with the zombie, and my arms were still injured.
I was very exhausted, and the ghost possessing Uncle Huzi was undoubtedly a vengeful ghost.
Because only a vengeful ghost could make a ball of red light appear above Uncle Huzi's head.
In my current state, I might not be able to handle a vengeful ghost.
From my understanding of Uncle Huzi, he had practiced martial arts and had a strong physique.
When I fought him in the past, I was no match for him.
Now, possessed by a ghost, if I fought him, the ghost would push him to his physical limits.
It would definitely kill me.
No, I can't be impulsive.
I'm no match for Uncle Huzi.
But I wasn't sure what Uncle Huzi was going to do to Zhang Yunliang, so I didn't dare delay.
Also, I couldn't leave the Zhang family's ancestral grave too far.
If Zhang Yunyao returned and couldn't find me, and there were so many bodies in the Zhang family's ancestral grave that could turn into zombies at any time, that would be a real mess.
As I watched Uncle Huzi drag Zhang Yunliang away from the grove, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
I took out my phone and found a ringtone.
It was the sound of a rooster crowing.
I had downloaded it before because I thought it was fun.
It came in handy now.
I walked quickly, getting as close to Uncle Huzi as possible, hiding in a clump of weeds.
Then, I played the rooster crowing ringtone on my phone.
As the loud crowing of the rooster rang out, Uncle Huzi, who had been dragging Zhang Yunliang forward, suddenly shuddered and stopped.
A flash of fear appeared in his dull and vacant eyes.
He looked around nervously and let go of Zhang Yunliang.
Seeing that this trick worked, I quickly played the rooster crowing ringtone again.
In just a moment, Uncle Huzi panicked.
His breathing became rapid.
He dropped Zhang Yunliang and ran into the forest ahead, disappearing without a trace.
I let out a sigh of relief.
After seeing Uncle Huzi run away, I walked over to Zhang Yunliang and picked him up.
I quickly returned to the Zhang family's ancestral grave.
This situation wouldn't last long.
The vengeful ghost possessing Uncle Huzi would soon realize he had been tricked and would return.
