Only then did Chu Ning notice that she was still in Chu Yunzhou's arms, and she struggled to sit up. She can't fall down now, and she still needs to take care of Mama's funeral. However, Chu Ning didn't know anything about the funeral customs here, so he could only ask Chu Yunzhou: "Brother Yunzhou, is there a cremation custom here?"
"Why does Sister Ning'er want to be cremated?" Chu Yunzhou asked strangely, while taking the water handed over by his uncle and giving it to Chu Ning.
Chu Ning took a sip of water, now she has to cheer up, people here pay a lot of attention to funeral ceremonies, and said with a sigh of relief: "I can't bear to bury Mama here alone, alone, if you can be cremated, you can take Mama's ashes away, and when I find out my life experience, I may be able to know Mama's origin, and I can send Mama back to her hometown for burial." ”
"I can understand Ning'er's mood, but this cremation is a custom that only exists in the Great Zhou, if Mama is a Qinglian person, it is better to follow Mama's customs here, here advocates entering the soil for peace, if Ning'er goes to the capital in the future and is not far from here, you can often come to worship. Chu Yunzhou suggested.
Hearing this, Chu Ning no longer insisted, and it was better to follow the customs here of Mama. Then she didn't understand, and hurriedly looked at Chu Yunzhou and Uncle Lai for help.
Uncle Lai is still experienced in this area, so he hurriedly invited Monk Jueshen to come over.
Monk Jueshen had a look of guilt on his face, Chu Ning didn't have time to comfort Monk Jueshen, and began to wash and change clothes for Grandma according to Uncle Lai's command. Monk Jueshen has been chanting sutras beside him, and it is estimated that he is probably reciting the "mantra of the past life", "opening the way through the scriptures" and the like.
Uncle Lai took three more copper coins, put them on Mama's left and right hands and mouth, and chanted: "With money, don't starve........"
After finishing moving the grandmother from the kang to the door panel, Uncle Lai said that this is called "landing", and carried it to the left side of the stove, covered a piece of paper on the mother's face, and covered a sheet on the body, and then went to take an oil lamp and put it next to the grandmother to light it, put on the incense bowl, and inserted a large handful of incense.
Uncle Lai did this, and went to clean up the bedding and pillow that Mama had slept on, and then took it to the temple gate to burn, as soon as he opened the door, a cold wind poured in, cooled down, winter is really coming! It was also foggy outside, and it was still a foggy weather.
The whole stove was cold after a while, and the north wind was howling, and it looked even more desolate and mournful.
At this time, it was already dawn, and Chu Ning just numbly followed Uncle Lai's command to do this and that, like a walking corpse.
Uncle Lai hurriedly came over and asked Chu Ning: "Miss Chu, according to the rules, you should go to the funeral, where do you think you want to go to the funeral?"
"Just talk to the Jing family! If you don't recognize Uncle Lai, just go to the Drunken Immortal Tower at noon to talk to Jing Dazhu. Chu Ning replied slowly, there are not many people who know Mama here, and it is the Jing family, Xiao Xiaoying and Fang Yiyuan are not of the same class as Mama after all, Mama refused to sit with them during her lifetime, and she will definitely not accept their condolences after her death.
Uncle Lai made porridge for Chu Ning and went out to be busy again, the most important thing is to buy a coffin, people here are coffins prepared in advance, because they have to be customized, it is not easy to buy a coffin like Mama who died suddenly like this, and there are no other funeral things, so Uncle Lai must also buy it as soon as possible.
