Chapter 4 Who is in the coffin?
If it was in normal times, I would definitely think she was.
But in the past two days, I have encountered a lot of strange things, and my grandmother also said that I was "dead" last night, I subconsciously felt that she must be tired of saying this.
She must have known something.
I hurriedly asked, "Aren't I alive and well, how do you say I'm dead?"
The girl said, "Why are you in a coffin if you don't die?"
I panicked even more: "When am I in the coffin? ”
The girl was very angry, and her face was red and she argued: "I am talking nonsense, when did I talk nonsense?"
"Last night, I heard my cat barking in the mourning hall, so I came to look for it. Then I heard the coffin being kicked and thumped, and as soon as I opened the lid, I saw you. ”
"Hmph, I can see it clearly, the person lying in the coffin is you!
When the girl said something, my face was pale and trembling!
Because I accidentally remembered that "dream" last night.
In my dreams, I felt like I was locked in a space sealed by wooden planks.
The space sealed by the wooden planks is not a coffin!
Also, I gasped for breath when I heard the cat's meow.
And the girl also heard the cat's meow, so she lifted the coffin board.
This...... This is a coincidence.
Was I dreaming last night, or was I really locked up in a coffin?
I thought about it and felt that the chances of me being locked up in a coffin were almost zero.
Because when I woke up, I was in Langzhong's house.
But what the girl said was so consistent with my dream...... She's not talking nonsense.
I can't talk nonsense, so it fits my dreams so well.
After all, only I know my dreams, and my mother doesn't know them, so she can't make up lies to deceive me.
I immediately realized that this girl was not simple, she must know something.
I turned my head and asked, "Then ...... after you opened the coffin last night?"
But when I turned my head, I realized that the girl was gone.
I frantically searched around, only to find that the girl had already reached the door at some point.
She turned her head and smiled at me, and that smile was a little mysterious.
No, she must not be allowed to leave like this, I have to ask.
She must know something about me.
But as soon as I stood up, my mother came over, pulled me and said, "Xiaofan, why are you going?"
I hurriedly pointed to the door and said, "Mom, I'm going to chase that little girl." There's something I want to ask her. ”
My mother looked at the door and said impatiently, "What a little girl is there?" ”
That's when I realized that the girl was gone.
I quickly explained to my mother: "A girl in a white dress just talked to me, and she also said that I was locked in a coffin......"
"Okay Xiaofan, I haven't seen a girl in a white dress anywhere. ”
"You're not too young, so don't make trouble. Your grandfather will be at the funeral in a while, you remember, together in the coffin, you will kneel down and cry. When it's time for the funeral, you'll follow the men, you know?"
Although I was unwilling, the top priority was to give my grandmother's funeral, so I could only nod.
After my mother finished explaining, she went back to the house.
And I walked to the men's seat, waiting for my grandfather's funeral.
I took a special look at the crowd, but I still didn't see any trace of my grandmother.
I'm very puzzled, I don't know why my grandma went, why didn't I give my grandfather a funeral?
I always feel like my grandma has changed these days.
Everything is ready for the funeral, and the next thing is the funeral.
The caller put three sticks of incense on his grandfather, and then shouted in a loud voice: "The water flows in the East China Sea and does not look back, and the sunset will still meet in the West Mountain." Old man Wang, send off the guests. ”
The caller is the master of ceremonies who presides over the funeral, and they are all respected elders in the village.
This time, it was the old village chief who served as the caller, and I had to call him the fifth master according to his seniority.
As soon as the fifth master's words fell, even when the suona played mourning music, the relatives of the funeral guests immediately knelt on the ground and cried.
I also knelt on the ground and cried.
The fifth master shouted again: "Get up...... Coffin ......"
The "Eight Immortals" who carried the coffin immediately lifted the coffin and walked out of the door.
The funeral guests immediately followed the coffin.
However, as soon as the Eight Immortals carried the coffin and walked two steps, the coffin suddenly fell heavily to the ground.
The dull sound echoed for a long time in the small mourning hall.
The coffin fell to the ground, but it was a bad sign.
The old saying is that the deceased did not want to leave and wanted to stay.
At this time, it is necessary to urgently raise the coffin again, if the coffin stays on the ground for more than a minute, then the deceased will really not be able to send it away.
The funeral guests panicked and hurriedly knelt on the ground again, crying even louder.
I cried at the top of my lungs.
The most panicked person is the fifth master.
After all, he is a shouter, and if he can't send his grandfather away, it proves that he didn't serve his grandfather well at the funeral he arranged.
This greatly affected his prestige in the village.
The fifth master quickly reacted, and shouted again: "The water flows in the East China Sea and does not look back, and we will meet in the West Mountain at sunset! ”
"Start...... Coffin ......"
The Eight Immortals who carried the coffin re-lifted the coffin and carried it out leisurely.
The guests stood up again and followed the coffin procession.
However, the strange thing happened again, just a few steps away from carrying the coffin, Grandpa's coffin fell heavily to the ground.
I felt the ground tremble with it.
The coffin fell to the ground twice in succession, which is an ominous sign.
The guests were all anxious, kneeling on the ground and crying harder.
Especially the eldest uncle and second uncle, crying the hardest.
If you don't send your grandfather away, then this yard will be abandoned.
Who wants to live in a yard with a ghost!
At this time, the fifth master suddenly said in a deep voice: "If you want something bad, open the coffin." ”
As soon as they heard that the coffin had been opened, the guests were even more anxious, and they couldn't care about crying, so they hurriedly looked up at the coffin.
I also looked at the coffin.
Just after the coffin landed, Shengsheng moved the coffin lid sideways, and now there was a large gap between the coffin lid and the coffin.
Opening the coffin is more unlucky than the coffin falling to the ground.
Because this proves that the deceased is reluctant to leave even if he is desperately scattered, at least not today.
If you insist on burying the dead, the deceased is likely to turn into a ghost and come back to ask for his life.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle were frightened, looking at the coffin in a daze, at a loss.
The fifth master was angry, and glared angrily at the eight immortals who carried the coffin: "What's the matter with you, it's not the first time you've carried the coffin, why are you still so rough?"
The eight immortals who carried the coffin also looked aggrieved: "Fifth uncle, we don't know what's going on, when I just lifted it, it was obviously very light, but just after taking two steps, the coffin was violently heavy, as if someone had fallen on the coffin at once......"
The fifth master immediately became anxious, glared at the coffin bearer, and told him to shut up quickly.
This kind of thing can't be said in front of the master's family, saying that someone pounces on his coffin, how unlucky it is, it's not good to fight!
After that, the fifth master sighed: "It seems that I can't send off Old Man Wang today." Two filial sons, what do you think?"
The eldest uncle and the second uncle had no choice but to nod helplessly, agree, and bury them another day.
The fifth master nodded, cleared his throat, and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Old man Wang takes care of his family's worries, stay for a day to relieve his worries." Today welcome back to the Lord's house to sit, tomorrow walk on the morning glow. ”
"Send the old man back to the main seat. ”
As soon as the words fell, the Eight Immortals immediately began to carry the coffin, preparing to send their grandfather back to the mourning hall.
However, one of the coffin bearers who was close to the gap in the coffin did not move, but just stared at the gap in the coffin with his eyes.
From this angle, he should have seen the scene in the coffin.
The fifth master was anxious, and hurriedly poked the coffin bearer: "Second dog, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and carry the coffin." ”
The coffin bearer swallowed and foamed hard, and a thick look of fear appeared on his dull face: "Fifth uncle, let me ask you, the eldest son of Chunnier (my mother's name) is called Sun Bufan, is he born when he was in the moon?"
I couldn't understand what I was doing, and the coffin bearer suddenly asked me what I was doing.
The fifth master was also stunned, and he didn't understand why he suddenly asked me at this time.
However, the fifth master still nodded subconsciously.
The coffin bearer was even more panicked, and hurriedly said, "Fifth Master, I suddenly remembered that there was an urgent matter at home, so I left first." ”
As he spoke, the coffin bearer suddenly came up to me, spat at me, and then fled away.
The remaining seven coffin bearers also realized something, and hurriedly walked to the gap in the coffin and took a look inside.
After that, they all had frightened looks on their faces, walked up to me, spat at me, and hurried away.
I was terrified, and my whole body was trembling.
What the hell is going on?
What the hell did they see in the coffin, and how did they become so scared?
Also, why did they mention my birthday, and why did they spit on me?
Could it be ...... Is it really me in the coffin?
Even if it's not me, it must have a lot to do with me.
My mind went blank, my heart was full of fear, and in the end, I couldn't bear this fear, and I cried loudly.
