Lao Yang's father immediately called his relatives in the countryside to tell him about it, I thought that the rural side would oppose it, but I didn't expect to agree readily, it turned out that they were also worried about this matter, and always felt that the old woman's soul could not be collected after her death, and she would make trouble in the village.

At lunch, Lao Yang specially asked the nanny to make sixteen dishes, which are said to be her best, I ate very deliciously, Kaohsiung and Azandukun had no appetite, fortunately, Yingkou was rich in seafood, and the two only ate those few seafood dishes. It's no wonder that most of the dishes on the table are northern dishes, Kaohsiung is Cantonese, and Azandukun is Thai, so he can't get used to eating at all. As soon as Lao Yang saw this situation, he immediately asked the nanny to go grocery shopping again and asked the two of them what they were eating. Kaohsiung waved his hand: "Forget it, the difference between the north and the south, if you can't take care of it, we just eat seafood." ”

During the banquet, Lao Yang and his father have been arguing, Lao Yang said: "It's all your fault, I said I wouldn't let her participate on the night of the coffin, but you said no." ”

"How can you blame me?" said Lao Yang's father, "everyone has gone to the village, how can it be justified not to participate in the coffin? How many relatives are watching there, unless you didn't let her go to the countryside in the first place." ”

Lao Yang was even more angry: "When I was at home, I said don't let her go with me, who doesn't agree to come?" I hurriedly persuaded and said that it had come to this point, and there was no point in complaining to each other. After the meal, everyone set off immediately, Lao Yang drove me, Kaohsiung, Azandukun and Lao Yang's wife holding Dabao, and the five-seater car was full. Lao Yang asked his parents to stay at home, but the old couple said that they would go, so Lao Yang had to call his cousin and ask him to drive along, so that we could sit more relaxed.

I have never been to Yingkou, I only know that the consumption level is higher than Shenyang, in my impression, Yingkou is a tourist city, and it should be more prosperous than Shenyang. I didn't expect there to be such a poor countryside. Lao Yang said: "This village is our Yang family's hometown, not far from the sea, but it has always been quite poor. A few years ago, I suggested to the village party secretary that the villagers should make sea cucumbers in the sea, but he didn't listen, alas. ”

I thought to myself, as the saying goes, the poorer you are, the more superstitious you are, if it weren't for the poor village, it is estimated that there would not be so many customs similar to "closing coffins", even pregnant women would not be spared.

When we arrived in the village, all of us lived in the uncle's house of the old Yang family, and his uncle's son, daughter-in-law and daughter were all working in other places, and the family had several rooms idle. I heard that there were mages from Thailand in the village, and almost half of the village came to watch, the courtyard was full, and the village party secretary also came to see the excitement. The two sons and daughters-in-law of the old woman's family were invited by Lao Yang's father to sit down, and the eldest son of the mother-in-law asked: "Is it a Thai god who is invited?" I said that the eldest nephew, if you have money, you can't make it like this, you have invited all the talented people in China? Can this Thai god cure China's evil diseases?"

"This isn't a Thai god, it's called Azandukun, right?" said Yang's father. What else did the mother-in-law's eldest son say, but he accidentally saw Azandukun's eyes, but he didn't say it, and he was scared back. Kaohsiung inquired about the location of the old woman's grave, which was on the slope of the mountain north of the village, where most of the dead in the village were buried.

Kaohsiung said: "The spell will be cast at 12 o'clock at midnight, and only the old woman's dearest relatives will be on the scene, such as her husband or son or daughter, and no one else can follow." ”

The eldest daughter-in-law of the old woman pouted: "Let the second child go, my mother-in-law loved him when she was alive." The second daughter-in-law immediately quit, saying why wasn't the eldest son going, the two concubines were obviously at odds, and they almost quarreled. In the end, it was the village party secretary who made the decision and let the second son follow, and it was obvious that this mother-in-law's partiality with the second child was already the consensus of the village.

In the middle of the night, Lao Yang carried a black rooster according to Azandukun's request, and everyone went to the hillside behind the north of the village under the leadership of the second son, and saw that the slope was densely packed with tombstones by the moonlight. It's August, and it's the hottest time, but when the night breeze blows, I feel cold through the cracks in my bones. Kaohsiung squinted at me: "Do you have malaria?"

"I don't know, it's so cold, and I'm shivering. It stands to reason that the night of the seventh lunar month shouldn't be so cold?" I replied.

Kaohsiung had a sneer in his eyes: "That's not cold, it's yin." "That's when I realized.

Lao Yang's wife hugged her son tightly, for fear that he would catch a cold. The old woman's tomb was in the corner of the Yang family's ancestral grave, standing in front of the grave, Dabao seemed to be very scared, let out a low scream, and drilled into his mother's arms. "It was the same last time. Lao Yang's wife smiled bitterly.

At twelve o'clock in the night, Kaohsiung asked Lao Yang to take out a knife to kill the chicken and sprinkle the blood on the tombstone. The second son of the mother-in-law whispered: "It's hard to wash if it's dirty, right? This tablet cost more than 2,000 yuan." Lao Yang said angrily that when the time comes, you will be replaced with a white marble, and the second son of the mother-in-law will no longer squeak. I took out my phone and quietly recorded it next to me, ready to keep it later, which is the most powerful proof for the customer, much better than the photo.

Azan Dukun held the treasure in his arms, pressed the top of the child's head with his left hand, spread the five fingers of his right hand, brushed away the weeds on the grave bag and pressed the soil, and began to chant mantras. Lao Yang was carrying the chicken, and the blood on the neck of the chicken was flowing on the tombstone, which was strange to say, the big treasure in Azandukun's arms did not move, and looked at the grave bag in a daze. A few minutes later, Kaohsiung asked Lao Yang to throw the dead rooster in front of the monument, and then asked the mother-in-law and second son to kneel.

As the voice of Azandukun's chanting became higher and higher, suddenly the rooster jumped up again, and Dabao let out a sharp cry. I didn't expect that the little baby, who was only half a year old, would have such a lot of energy and make such a loud sound, Lao Yang's wife was so anxious that she couldn't do it, for fear that her son would shout out his throat, so she wanted to go up and hug her, but was stopped by Kaohsiung. He looked at me, and I understood what I meant, and hurriedly went over and pulled her back and held her tightly.

The rooster seemed to come to life again, and he jumped for two or three minutes, and Azandukun dipped his finger in the chicken blood on the tombstone, drew a zigzag symbol on Dabao's forehead, and then kept patting his head with his palm, snapping. Lao Yang's wife cried and said to me, "You let him do it lightly, can't you ......" Lao Yang came over to take over my work, and comforted me in a low voice and said that it was okay, and the Thai mage had it in his hands.

Kaohsiung walked up to his mother-in-law's second son, whispered a few words in his ear, and the second son nodded and said loudly: "Mom, you go quickly, otherwise you will never be reborn!" At this time, Azandukun suddenly pointed to the grave bag and said something, the rooster was like a puppet with a broken thread, and he didn't move. Look at Dabao again, he fell into his arms with his eyes closed, as if he was dead.

Azandukun stood up, handed the child to Lao Yang, bent down and touched the head of the rooster, slapped it on the grave bag a few more times, and turned to Kaohsiung and nodded. "It's okay, everyone, go back. Kaohsiung ordered. Lao Yang and his wife were full of doubts, looking at the soft child and not daring to ask, so they had to go home.
