Chapter 12: The Man in the Cowshed.

Lingyuan saw that the three people were like eggplants beaten by frost, and they were not vigorous, so they didn't continue to say anything.

As for the process of how Wang Ashui and the original owner got involved, the only thing that really knows is the spiritual wish.

The original owner and Wang Ashui got involved because Gong Min owed a lot of gambling debts. Gong Min asked the original owner to help borrow money from Wang Ashui. At that time, the original owner was more wooden and indecisive, so Gong Min came up with a bad idea, knowing that Wang Ashui was eager to find a wife, he must have savings at home, and he was a little lustful. Let the original owner dress up beautifully, pretend to come to buy some koji, and make wine.

Wang Ashui is also amorous, and when he saw the place where the original owner should be drumming, he bulged up, and really lent money to the original owner.

But the original owner did not promise to give Wang Ashui a child, Wang Ashui wanted to cook raw rice and mature rice, so he found an opportunity to host the original host.

The original owner heard Gong Min say that Wang Ashui was a little colored, so at his house, he didn't dare to eat or drink anything. also smiled and asked Wang Ashui not to worry.

Wang Ashui believed it, but he didn't catch anything, and the money he lent out, the money spent on the original owner, didn't get a cent back, and he found out that it was a scam. In a fit of anger, he did something stupid, put poisonous weeds in the koji, and when Mrs. Feng bought koji, she also deliberately asked Mrs. Feng to buy some specially eaten koji (called wine balls and wine cakes in the countryside) for the original owner to eat. Let the original owner take care of her body and give birth to a great-grandson for her.

Seeing that Wang Ashui spoke more tactfully, Aunt Feng was happy for a while, and really bought some to go back. After steaming the wine balls, he gave half of them to the original owner to eat, but the original owner knew that Feng Danian bought Wang Ashui's things, and he didn't eat them. Instead, taking advantage of the night, he quietly threw himself into the river and floated away.

The original owner didn't dare to tell Aunt Feng about it, worried that she would know that she went to Wang Ashui's house to borrow money, and then the whole village would know about it.

And Aunt Feng ate the other half. As for why I eat it, I don't know now. Because after the death of Aunt Feng, there is no follow-up.

Became a fan.

Aunt Feng knows medical skills, and she also has spiritual power, why didn't she plan to survive?

The mystery in Lingyuan's heart has not been solved, and she has a hunch that it will be known soon.

Lingyuan stood up, and someone outside was calling out to her.

"Wish, wish, you come out for a while. Lin Fusheng's voice.

"It's coming. ”

Lingyuan walked out and saw Lin Fusheng holding a white cloth, and there was another one, according to the seniority, the original owner shouted that Uncle Tang was holding a wooden ruler. I walked up to him and measured the width of my shoulders and my height.

After memorizing the size, I cut the fabric on the square table next to me and prepared to sew the linen clothes.

Uncle Tang told her some etiquette, and told her to remember to kneel down and return the gift when she saw someone giving a gift next.

By the way, I asked Lin Fusheng to send some gift bags made of straw paper to the people who work in the neighborhood.

Lingwan did as Uncle Cousin said, and soon after, a group of funeral bands came.

In the countryside, such bands, like Taoist priests, can chant scriptures, beat gongs and drums, wear Taoist gossip clothes, and sing in front of the stage.

sang for three days and two nights, and then carried Mrs. Feng into the coffin and prepared to be buried.

At the time of burial, almost a white cloth was wrapped around his arm, and a funeral ceremony was held. The wharness and the women of the neighborhood wept.

There was a moderator who gave a speech while mourning.

"In 1989, there was an old man XXX nine ......out of eighty," the host burned a piece of paper after reading it.

Next, a group of people will form a circle around the coffin, and the people who turn in the circle will follow the rhythm of the host.

"Kneel!" all those who mourn in a circle should kneel.

"A prostration. Two prostrations. Three prostrations. "Kneel and kowtow.

......

The burial is time-conscious, and it is arranged at more than eight o'clock in the morning, so it is very rushed, and breakfast has not been eaten yet.

When the host finished reading, everyone stepped aside.

Four or five people stepped forward to cover the coffin, tie the brown rope, and string the sticks.

"Oh ho-" The lid was closed, and four or five men threw the tea leaves and rice around, meaning to ward off evil spirits.

"Oh-ho—" Four or five men shaved sticks over their shoulders.

"Oh ho-" lifted and walked towards the grave.

Gunshots.

There was a crackling crackle and smoke billowed from the dust.

Lingyuan walked at the front, and there was a man on the right who helped hold a black umbrella.

One or two people also started to light the straw on the road, and the sky was full of smoke and dust. Smoke curled up.

There was a long queue and it was sent to a place more than 20 meters away from the grave of Aunt Feng. Stop it.

Then everybody goes back. Remove the white cloth from your body.

After everyone came back, they made breakfast together, and after breakfast, there were too many dishes, and the spirit wished everyone to divide them, and each of them took them back to eat.

It's really hard to have a big meal. Only good things in red and white can be eaten. The meatballs, fish balls, etc. on the table were all divided.

Then take back the borrowed plates, chopsticks, tables, and stools, and check the number of them.

Now that the funeral is over, clean up Gong Min, Chen Yongsheng, and Zhang Shuihua who are kneeling on the ground.

They knelt for three or four days, and they felt like they were about to die, and they had no strength. But I'm afraid of death.

Seeing that the neighbors were all busy, Ling Yuan shouted, "Uncles, aunts, uncles, uncles...... Now the funeral is over. What I promised at the beginning, it's time to do it today. ”

"Got everything sorted out?"

"Does Ye Changmu have any clues?"

......

Everyone especially wanted to know where Ye Changmu was.

The spirit said, "The matter is cleared." Aunt Feng gave me a dream yesterday. said that Ye Changmu was in the cowshed opposite. ”

On the other side of the river, there is a tributary, that is, a creek.

The creek was overgrown with weeds, and there were many people who made duck sheds out of wooden stakes, built a lot of straw, and there were many straw piles next to it.

It's really easy for everyone to think about hiding someone. Because the river is a bit deep where Ye Changmu fell, it is not difficult for a person who can swim to dive in the river.

"Is it diving first, then hiding somewhere, and then hiding in the cowshed. The villagers understand it like that.

"But why doesn't he slip away at night?" asked some villagers.

Lingyuan explained: "Because the cowshed is locked at night, he can't get out. During the day, he didn't dare to sneak out, for fear of being discovered. ”

"I've been hungry for three or four days, I should have died. The villager said.

A few naughty children said, "There is cow dung, and he eats it." ”

"Haha!" everyone laughed.

"Let's take a look first, or find a few people to help carry it back. The spirit said.

"Good. "Lin Fusheng, Lin Huosheng surrounded his head and went with seven or eight men.

Lingyuan and the other villagers stayed in front of the house of the Wind Lady. Sit on a bench.

Everyone's eyes were on them, waiting to carry Ye Changmu back.

At this moment, Ye Changmu is like a ghost, his whole body is covered with cow dung, he hasn't taken a bath for three or four days, and he is disgusting. Dirtier than a beggar.

The face is covered with cow dung, and it looks like a little devil who has been beaten down.

The villagers beside Lingyuan saw that Ye Changmu was carried back by the planks surrounding the cowshed, and they were all speculating.

"I don't know if I'm dead?"
