Staying up at night to guard against the corpse rising

In our country, keeping vigil is called 'wake-sitting.' After a person dies, their children stay by the deceased's side for three days, to prevent cats or dogs! When creatures approach the corpse, it can trigger a corpse disturbance. Not long ago, an old man named Liu passed away. He had two daughters: the elder Liu Qing and the second Liu Fangyu, both married and having children. They had four sons: the eldest named Liu Dezhu, the second Liu Deliang, the third Liu Deyu, and the youngest Liu Deneng. They were all very filial, except for one thing: the youngest son's marriage was still unsettled, so they died with unresolved eyes. On the day the old man passed away, the children were deeply saddened. They had been busy all day for their father's death, and at night they had to keep vigil for him, exhausted. They unknowingly fell asleep. This terrifying event began at this moment: the kitten they fed came to the house by the aroma of the offering. It ate more than half of the braised chicken offered as offering. After eating, the cat squatted beside the corpse, continuously sniffing it. When the cat smelled the nose and mouth of the corpse, it was truly astonishing. The corpse slowly moved, grabbed the cat with both hands, and tore it in half, blood splattering everywhere. —It was a resurrection. The corpse sprang up, smelling of life, and came before the night watchmen. A strange "cluck ......" came from its throat, making people feel chills down one's spine and scalp tingle. These night watchmen knew nothing about what was happening before them and were all sound asleep. The corpse's pale hand reached out to the youngest son, but because the corpse was rigid, he couldn't bend down and couldn't succeed. He paced back and forth, but when he went to the inner room, there was no movement. Suddenly, a startled scream woke everyone from their dreams, and everyone asked, "What's wrong! What's wrong! What happened?" It turned out that Liu Dezhu's eldest son couldn't sleep for a moment, so he was burning paper for his grandfather. When he saw his grandfather's body was missing, he was terrified. He also saw how terrifying the cat had died, with blood everywhere, and finally let out a cry. The scene before their eyes was also quite shocking. The body was gone, and he had to be found for no reason. So the adults went outside to look for the body and left the child at home. The adults hadn't gone far, and the corpse, smelling of life, slowly came out. Liu Dezhu's child said to the other children, "You stay here and watch Grandpa. I'm going to find Dad and the others." After saying that, he went to find Dad.These were left at home, and the children didn't know that Grandpa was faking death; they even thought Grandpa had come back to life! They all shouted, "Grandpa, you are alive." The fake-dead Grandpa stiffly stood up, staring straight at the children. The children, unaware of the danger, joyfully rushed toward Grandpa—who was faking death... Liu Dezhu's children found the adults and explained the situation at home. The adults wondered if they should believe it, but seeing that the children described it so vividly, they followed the children back home, half believing it. When they got home, they saw that the elder's corpse was still on the spirit altar. The children who had stayed at home told the adults, "Grandpa has come back to life." Seeing the lifeless corpse, the adults would not believe it. The children then said, "Really, Grandpa came back to life, but then he fell again and died." It turned out that when the children rushed at the fake-dead Grandpa, he tried to pounce and bite the children. But unexpectedly, because he was not nimble, he tripped over a chair and fell, and the remaining cat-like energy left his mouth, turning him back into a corpse to ensure the safety of the children. The adults didn't think of the fake death and assumed the children were talking nonsense, scolding them for it. The children felt wronged and didn't dare to say anything further. That day also broke into morning; they were busy attending to the visitors paying respects, so they didn't put this matter into their minds. What happened next was even more terrifying. By night, these dutiful children were watching over the body again. Despite being busy all day and fearing something might happen like yesterday, no one dared to sleep and as they got too sleepy, they started chatting. Suddenly, Liu Deliang shouted, "Our father is moving!" His shout scared them, causing shrieks and chaos. They panicked and looked at the corpse, which remained lying there, unchanged. They all blamed the second son, thinking he had been paranoid after listening to the children, imagining things. The third son, Liu Deyu, jokingly said, "If our father gets up, will you run?" Liu Dezhu laughed, "Of course, I'd be the first to run." Liu Deyu replied, "I won't run even if anyone runs." Liu De asked, "Third brother, since when did you become so bold?" Liu Deliang looked at his third brother and said, "I think he is too scared to move." The third son nodded and smiled, "Yes, I was just about to say it when second brother mentioned it." Liu Deyu faced the corpse with his back to it, while the eldest and second sat on either side. Liu Deliang shouted again, "Our father is getting up."Liu Deyu didn't believe it. He turned his head and looked back, unable to speak. Suddenly, he saw his father standing behind him. He was waiting for him to dodge before grabbing his neck. The corpse's vitality hadn't fully recovered and was slowly stored up, accumulating more and more, taking effect, and the corpse was causing trouble again. Everyone thought his father would die with regrets! So they pleaded desperately. The fake corpse had no emotion, just wouldn't let go, and Liu Deyu was choked until he couldn't breathe. This commotion drew many people. The experienced elders knew about the fake corpse. Everyone stepped forward and pulled the fake corpse and rescued the third son from the corpse. Then they pressed the corpse to the ground. The old man said, "Your father is a fake corpse; it must be burned with fire." The children firmly refused, so people began to persuade him: "A fake corpse is a terrible thing. We've only heard of it, no one has ever experienced it. We're afraid something might happen, so let's just burn it! After all, cremation is also a cremation." The children had no choice but to agree. Everyone tied up the fake corpse. Since there was no diesel, only cooking oil was poured on the fake corpse. The group found the bravest to grab a lighter and try to light the fake corpse. No matter how brave the man was, he trembled and tried to light the fake corpse. Suddenly, the fake corpse broke the rope, and the man dropped the lighter and ran. There was no way to run, and the fake corpse bit his neck. Instantly, blood started flowing, and the man struggled! Screaming! The horror was unbearable to watch. No one dared to step forward, watching helplessly as the man was bitten to death by the corpse replacement. The corpse bite the man until he was lifeless. After discarding the man's body, he lunged and bit the others. The crowd scattered and fled, and the corpse man chased after them, shouting and screaming endlessly, crowding and pushing each other. Some elderly people were knocked down by the crowd, and others struggled to escape with their lives. Someone called the police, but this matter couldn't be explained in just a few words. It took a long time to clarify everything. Not long after, the police arrived. At first, they thought the caller was talking nonsense. But when they got here, they saw it and saw it all. Sure enough, the corpse attack and bite incident. They were also flustered. The police officers treated the corpses as brave and commendable, lining up side by side to protect the civilians.
