Fate should have been determined by heaven, and if there is a miracle, death will not be seen.

This is a netizen and Xiao Lang told him about a personal experience when he was a child, when he was seven or eight years old, he was still a little kid who knew how to play all day long, but this netizen is now older than my father, so when they were young, they still lived in the kind of miscellaneous courtyard where the older generation lived!

Although Xiaolang and I have never lived in a large courtyard, we especially yearn for that kind of life, there is no other advantage, it is a lively place, and if the neighborhood relationship is a little more harmonious, it is a big family. On weekdays, who wants to have something, everyone helps each other, and they can be regarded as taking care of each other, and when they are bored, they sit together and drink tea and chat, make something delicious and drink some wine to improve the food, and think about it is a beauty on that small day!

Definitely not like most people now, not to mention people who live in the same building, they don't recognize each other, even who lives in the opposite door of your house, I don't know it, I don't know if you meet a little better, at most nod and say a word is a greeting, generally like a stranger, even if you take the initiative to get close to him, he will look at you with a cautious thief-proof gaze, for fear that you will plot against him!

The general structure of the miscellaneous courtyard is probably also known in film and television dramas, that is, the kind of courtyard that surrounds a large courtyard, except for leaving a gate around it, all of them are small houses built in circles, due to the limited technology at that time, the houses are generally two or three floors.

According to the number of houses, the residents in each yard are also how many or less, the small courtyard can be called a real courtyard, because in a big yard there are more than 30 families, there are hundreds of people, the neighborhood relationship is also quite harmonious, is a very happy family!

On weekdays, if something happens to someone's house, then the whole yard will come to help, and they will be as attentive as if they were doing something for their own family.

Granny Li, who lived in the compound for the longest time, passed away at home due to illness, and the entire compound, as well as nearby relatives and friends, all rushed to mourn and send the old man on his last journey. With everyone's help, the funeral was completed smoothly, and the old man had already been buried in the ground, but the matter was not over, because according to the local rules, people still need to "get out of trouble" after death.

The so-called "evil" is said to mean that on the 7749th day after death, the soul of a person will return to his home where he lives in the Yang world, and on this day the relatives who are still alive in the family are not allowed to live in the house, because if the deceased person is attached to a family member, it is likely that the family member will be taken away with him.

In addition to not being able to live at home, it is also necessary to sprinkle some lime powder at the door and the place where the deceased died, if the deceased relatives have returned, then some marks will be left on the lime powder to prove that they have really come, and even if there is no mark on the lime powder, it does not matter, which proves that the deceased has been reincarnated without worry.

The most terrifying thing is that there is only a row of footprints in the lime powder mountain, but there is no sign of going out, because it means that the soul of the deceased loved one is still staying somewhere in this room, and you must do everything you can to get him out as soon as possible, otherwise it will bring bad luck to the family.

Granny Li's family also has his son and daughter-in-law, as well as a little grandson who is only four or five years old, calculating the time, today is the forty-ninth day after Granny Li's death, and tonight is the day of his old man's "trouble", so when the sun just set, when the sky was still bright, Granny Li's son's family of three sprinkled a layer of lime powder on the ground at the gate and at the door of their own house, as well as the room where Granny Li died, and then came to Xiaokai's house to borrow it.

Xiao Kai and Granny Li's family relationship is the best, that night Xiao Kai's family warmly entertained their family of three, after eating and chatting until late to rest, in the middle of the night everyone vaguely heard a burst of chicken crows, although no one in the courtyard raised chickens, but here is close to the hillside woods, occasionally there is a chicken crow, it is normal, so everyone does not care too much.

Early the next morning, Xiao Kai accompanied Granny Li's son and daughter-in-law to check if there were any marks on the lime powder sprinkled last night. There is no mark left on the lime powder sprinkled at the gate and at the door of Granny Li's house, which is also very normal, because this is just a custom, how can a person die and have a soul come back, of course, if he does not come back, he will not leave any mark.

The three of them came to the room where Granny Li died in a relaxed mood, and when they saw the lime powder on the ground, they couldn't help but gasp, because on the lime powder sprinkled in that room, there was an extra footprint, not a human footprint, the footprint looked like a leaf, just like a chicken's footprint!

Thinking of the inexplicable rooster cry last night, the three people in the room couldn't help but feel a burst of fear, and only after a while did they squeeze out a smile and said: "Maybe this is something that accidentally fell and printed on it, you see that there are so many things in this room and it is so messy, let's clean up here, don't think about it anymore."

Granny Li's son and daughter-in-law also hurriedly responded when they heard this: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, it's just an unknown mark, it's not a big deal" So the three of them worked together to clean up the lime powder.

A few days later, Granny Li's son and daughter-in-law suddenly moved away without saying a word, no one knew where they went, and when they moved, it seemed that they didn't bring anything with them, only a family of three left in a hurry.

So everyone speculated that this matter must not be so simple, but it was just a suspicion, Granny Li's son and daughter-in-law no longer lived in the compound, and the cause of the matter had nowhere to be verified.

Later, maybe it was just because of a coincidence, Zhang Xiaokai met Granny Li's little grandson, he hadn't seen the little grandson for more than ten years, he had grown into a young man, he came to Xiaokai's unit for an interview, and Xiaokai was one of the interviewers at that time, the little grandson didn't recognize Zhang Xiaokai at first, under Xiaokai's care, the little grandson successfully passed the interview, because he was the son of a friend, Xiaokai naturally had to take care of it more.

After the interview, Xiao Kai took his little grandson to a nearby restaurant to eat, and during the meal, Xiao Kai learned through chat that Granny Li's son and daughter-in-law both died shortly after moving, as for why they moved, the little grandson has always refused to say, and Xiao Kai also learned that Granny Li did not die of illness, but choked to death by chicken bones stuck in her throat ......!
