Chapter 272: After the coffin was lifted
The fifth aunt grinned, her expression a little embarrassed. But if you think about it, it's safe, it's useless to say anything else, the old village chief is also for the village and everyone. We should take a hand, we can take a hand, no matter what kind of demons and monsters he is, can he still eat these people who come?
Thinking of these five aunts, they seemed to have the courage to talk about going out of the village in the middle of the night to deliver babies for quite a few years. At that time, no one in the village had the habit of going to the hospital to give birth, and most of them gave birth at home. Therefore, there is the profession of midwife, the fifth aunt was very easy to work when she was young, relying on her own intelligence and ingenuity, and learned the means of midwifery and incense.
At least you can make a living without wind and sun, and it is a profession that people can see when they give birth. And when she said New Year's greetings, she heard anything, and naturally the fifth aunt became a person with status. Although the fifth aunt who delivered the baby did not clearly mark the price, the people in the village asked each other, and no one would treat the fifth aunt badly on their happy day.
However, there is no time to give birth to a child, and there was no such thing as a caesarean section at that time, it was all natural. So there were a lot of accidents at that time, but it would be good that there was no family planning to give birth to as much as possible. To say that the fifth aunt's performance is really good, and being able to agree to go to Xiao'e's grave proves that she is not small. If the average housewife is afraid that she will not even dare to come, this is different from the usual her, whether it is windy, rainy, day or night, as long as someone comes to pick up the horse, she will go with the people, and people's lives are at stake.
The fifth aunt said that one summer night, someone suddenly knocked on the door. She quickly got up and asked who it was, and there was an old lady standing at the door, apparently begging her to deliver the baby. She didn't dare to delay getting into the carriage that the old lady had come to pick up, and she entered a house with a bump. The lights were on in the house, and there was a woman lying on the kang, holding her stomach and ouching.
The fifth aunt hurriedly settled the woman, and looked at her belly, which was obviously about to give birth. But when the woman gave birth, the fifth aunt was frightened, and all the little fluffy things were born, and she gave birth to two or three in a row. The fifth aunt understood in her heart that she had bumped into the evil sect tonight, and she didn't dare to make a noise and only regarded it as a midwife. What to do, how to deal with it. After picking up the fifth aunt, she felt that she was fine, and then said to go back.
The old lady was so excited that she would let her eat before she went back. But how dare she eat what she has here? Just say that the adults and children are safe, take care of the adults and children in the confinement and send me back quickly. The old lady had no choice but to take off a ring from her hand and give it to her. She had no choice but to accept the carriage and take her home, and when the carriage left, her clothes were soaked with sweat.
rushed into the house, closed the windows and closed the door, covered the kang with the quilt, and shook into a ball. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, what if the delivery didn't go well and that thing would hurt her? The next day she looked through her pocket at the ring, what kind of ring it was, it was just a small circle with firewood and grass. However, for three consecutive years, every year on the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a piece of pig's head meat was placed on the windowsill outside the house, and at first I didn't dare to eat it and couldn't figure out what was going on, but then cut off a small piece for the dog to eat.
After the dog eats it, there is nothing to do before the family dares to eat. Later, the child was more discerning and saw a small animal footprint under the windowsill. Let the experienced old man look at it, and the old man said with certainty: "It's the footprints of the fox, your family is a fox fairy!" The fifth aunt and the family all shook their heads and denied it, in fact, they knew best what was going on in their hearts.
Everyone relied on the strength of the crowd, and their courage also increased, and they couldn't help but approach Xiao'e's grave.
The coffin had been washed away by the rain, and most of it was exposed. Because the coffin is exposed on three sides on the slope, one side is leaning against the soil, and the coffin is only one-third deep in the soil. The bare coffin revealed the hole that had been plugged by the paper roll, which had fallen off from the wet soak buried in the soil, or from the heavy rain last night. Only a few of the original wood scars were exposed, like several ghost eyes.
The voice came from there, and the old village chief asked everyone to quietly take a look at the situation. The sound came and went intermittently, and everyone's hair was tied up, and no one dared to gasp. The old village chief wiped the rain from his face, took a few puffs of cigarette, and then said decisively: "Dig! Open the coffin!"
When everyone heard the order of the old village chief, they did not hesitate to clean up the mud washed by the rain on the coffin lid, and used a crowbar to pry the coffin lid. The fifth aunt hurriedly lit a few bills and prayed, hoping that Xiao'e would not blame her in heaven and forgive everyone's hard work. Because it was drizzling and misty, the paper was not good, and someone held an umbrella to avoid burning it.
The coffin was pried open with a creak, and as soon as the coffin lid was lifted a little, everyone couldn't help but cover their noses and scatter away! The smell of choking corpses was too terrible! Everyone was choked and couldn't breathe. They threw away the guys in their hands and went to the side. Some of them were coughing and vomiting, and they all felt overwhelmed.
At this time, the old village chief shouted to the father of the second lady: "Where's the wine, bring the wine!" The father of the second lady dared to hesitate, ran over and unscrewed the wine and handed it to the old village chief. The old village chief poured a sip of wine and then squirted at the coffin, followed by a few more puffs, and half a bottle of wine went down. Then he unscrewed a bottle and took a few sips. One is to warm up the body, and the other is to cover the smell of the corpse, so that everyone can cover their noses and mouths with the things they bring with them, and continue to lift the coffin lid.
The coffin lid was lifted off, Xiao'e's body had begun to decompose, the old village chief gently lifted the hijab on Xiao'e's face with a wooden stick, and the skin and flesh began to deteriorate and had become the color of black and gray.
The old village chief turned his head and asked who tied Xiao'e the stumbling rope that day, and a young man came out of the crowd to say that it was me, but that day because it was too chaotic and too busy, he found a rag strip for Xiao'e to put on it. After the dead here, the feet of the dead are often tied with hemp rope, in order to prevent the corpse from being scammed. You may have seen that most of the zombies in the movie are jumping on their feet, but in fact, they are tied with hemp rope on their feet.
The old village chief was angry, "It's not safe to let you bunnies do something, can this thing come nonsense? That rag strip is rotten and has no bones, in case something can't be earned, it's just nonsense." The old village chief looked for the source of the sound as he spoke, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Everyone present was also frightened, look at me, I look at you, the voice came from Xiao'e's lower body! It was clearly a baby's voice! Oh my God! Do dead people want to have children? This is simply incredible!
The old village chief knew that this was outrageous, and asked him to pull up a large piece of plastic sheeting to cover the coffin and the surrounding area. At the same time, he shouted loudly to the fifth aunt to come over, and sprayed the coffin again with wine, so that the fifth aunt could see what was going on with Xiao'e's lower body. The fifth aunt trembled and knocked her upper teeth and knocked her lower teeth, her whole body trembled like chaff, and she muttered something strange about Xiao'e.
Fortunately, the fifth aunt has a lot of experience, and when she heard it, she said, "My mother......! This is the dead...... To have a baby...... I haven't given it since I started this business...... Give life to the dead...... Isn't that too bizarre......"
When the old village chief heard her say this, it was as if he were talking in a dream, but he spat out a puff of smoke and said, "Really? That's right? Then don't forget that! You should give birth to the living, and do whatever you want! Everyone is here! Take it." ”
The fifth aunt has strengthened her courage again, but it is not easy, people have to bend down into the coffin, and their hands are enough to reach it. The fifth aunt is not a tall person, and it is very difficult to have a coffin to help with her short arms. Someone had picked up a few rotten tree stumps from the riverside and put them at her feet, and this time it was slightly better. The fifth aunt untied Xiao'e's lower clothes and pants with her hands, and couldn't help but gasp when she saw it.
A baby's head sticks out, just stuck. The baby's face was purple, and it only let out a weak cry, which seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. If it is too late, the child will surely die. A living child can cooperate with the delivery, but the dead person cannot deliver the baby at all. The fifth aunt's sweat came down all of a sudden.
Isn't it a miracle that the child in the womb is dead but not dead, and people can find out by mistake?
The fifth aunt didn't think much about it, anyway, Xiao'e was a dead person, she worked hard to put the child next, everyone was waiting anxiously outside, the old village chief stood in the rain and walked back and forth, the dry tobacco pouch did not leave the smoke pot when the fire was bright and dark, and the smoke swirled around him, and then scattered away.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and a black wind surrounded everyone and refused to leave for a long time. Everyone has a bad omen, and everyone is at a loss for what to do. An old woman with gray hair and a gray cloth trouser gown walked away from afar, and everyone wondered why the old woman's clothes were not wet when people were soaked in the rain?
The old woman stood still not far from the people, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing here? You don't know what is going to be feared. "The old village chief saw that this mother-in-law was coming strangely, what are people walking around on the muddy riverside in this rain?
He hurriedly walked over, and when the woman saw the old village chief coming, she involuntarily took two steps back. The old village chief said angrily: "If you have something, you can do it, don't talk nonsense here if you don't know what's going on." When Lao Tzu came out of his mother's womb, he didn't know what it meant to be afraid! Lao Tzu had no guy in the meat fight with the Japanese devil, and I held down the devil and bit the devil alive, and the neck of the devil was full of blood! I got up from the devil and spit out several mouthfuls before I spit out the rotten flesh shreds! The devil didn't hurt people. He deserves it! He went up to the Chinese ground and spread wild, biting him to death. ”
The old village chief spat out his cigarette again and said coldly: "Do you think I have anything else to be afraid of?" At this moment, the fifth aunt shouted in shock: "Old village chief, come and see!"
