Chapter 40: The Black Cat by Chance
Wang Xiao extinguished the incense, since it had no effect, there was no need to let it continue to burn, but its effect was still a mystery. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Ning Chuan got up at this time, he walked to the coffin and put his ear on it, and he couldn't hear any abnormal movement inside.
Squatting down in front of the posthumous photo, Ning Chuan pondered.
Now it's not just the problem of incense that has no clue, the paper horses that have reappeared, what does their lack of eyes mean this time, why did the paper man not appear for no reason, and where did the woman from before go.
And whether they should find a way to open the coffin, I don't know if it will be a life or a dead end.
At this moment, a group of people with suona gongs and drumming suddenly came in front of the spiritual shed.
Looking at the puzzled expressions of Ning Chuan and the others, a woman walked in front of them.
"It's the first time you've participated in a rural funeral, and these people are here to help guide the dead.
When they are done, they break a piece of tile in the middle of the road, and then carry the coffin around and bury it in the dug grave. ā
Listening to the woman's explanation, Ning Chuan and the others understood a little, but they didn't think that this group of people was just blowing and beating.
Looking at this group of people carefully, Ning Chuan and Wang Xiao found that they were all playing with their eyes closed, but this did not affect them in the slightest.
"Chuanchuan, do you think this will imply that we must close our eyes when we want to make a loud noise. ā
"It shouldn't be that simple, just wait and see. ā
When everyone had finished playing, the others were gone, leaving only one leader standing still.
And Ning Chuan found a suona left behind on the ground where everyone was jumping just now, which surprised him.
"Sister Wang, you wait for me here, I'll go get that suona back. ā
Ning Chuan got up and ran out, picked up the suona and hurried back.
And at this time, the remaining leader man didn't know where to take a tile out.
The man kept pointing at the tile with two bricks, as if it should have broken by itself, but the tile was strong in place.
After a long time, the man was sweating on his head, but the tile didn't give him any face.
In desperation, the man picked up another brick from the ground, and he threw it at the tile with all his might, trying to smash the tile directly, but I don't know why, the bricks were broken, and the tile was nothing.
At this time, a woman walked in front of Wang Xiao and Ning Chuan.
"Xiaoxiao, uncle, it seems that the old man doesn't want to leave the world, and he still needs the two of you to go and break the tiles together, maybe that will really work. ā
Ning Chuan was very suspicious when he listened to the woman's words, he always felt that things were strange, could it be that they were really useful in the past.
Walking to the side of the tile with Wang Xiao, Ning Chuan did not break the tile as the woman said.
"Do we have to break this, why can't you? ā
Looking at the woman next to him, Ning Chuan stared at her, wanting to know a reason.
"Because the old man is too nostalgic for the world, so he needs his relatives to do this, as you have just seen, others can't break it with bricks. ā
Although listening to the woman say this, Ning Chuan felt that there was a lot of suspicion here, and he wanted to continue talking to the woman, but a child suddenly ran next to him and accidentally bumped into Wang Xiao's body.
After being hit, Wang Xiao's body fell down, and he was about to hit the sharp corners of the bricks on the ground.
Ning Chuan hurriedly bent down to support Wang Xiao and prevent her from being bruised.
At this time, the woman next to her also supported Wang Xiao, and looked at Ning Chuan very embarrassed,
"My uncle is from the city, and since there are some taboos about these customs, it is not difficult for you.
I'll let the guy just try again, but I can't call you again. ā
Sending Ning Chuan and the others back to the spirit shed, the man just now walked over by himself and kept pointing at the tiles.
It didn't take long for a crisp sound to be heard, and the tiles were simply shattered this time, making things a little bizarre.
"Sister Wang, did you just drop something on the ground or was taken away by a child? ā
"No, I was just hit by a child, nothing else happened, and I didn't have anything extra on me. ā
"It's strange why we just went over once, and the tiles were broken. ā
"Chuanchuan, could it be that when I was about to fall just now, a hair fell on it. ā
"Well, this shouldn't be, it's very likely that when I went to help you just now, we were a little too close to the tile, which caused it to change, but why we have an effect on the tile, it can't be explained. ā
Ning Chuan and Wang Xiao were still struggling with this issue, but suddenly heard a quarrel outside.
"Stop it, don't let it run in!"
Both stood up, trying to know what was going on outside.
And at this moment, the cat, which had been black, suddenly ran under their feet and got directly under the coffin!
A piercing cat meow came out, and the corpse inside moved due to the cat's problem, and then the coffin shook violently.
"Oh no, the corpse is being cheated, quickly press the coffin, don't let the corpse come out!"
With the woman's shout, many people swarmed into the funeral shed, some of them holding the coffin lid, and some holding ropes trying to tie the coffin.
"Xiaoxiao, quickly put incense and paper on your master, and let him calm down for a while, so that the coffin can be tied up!"
But Wang Xiao stood in place and didn't dare to move, if it was burning paper in front of the posthumous photo, it was estimated that everyone might not be able to tie the coffin with iron chains, and it was really lively at that time.
Suddenly, Wang Xiao thought of the black line that had appeared in the paper man's hand, and the shape seemed to look like a thing.
"Coffin nails, tell everyone to find the coffin nails, and now directly nail the coffin. ā
Since he didn't dare to speak loudly, Wang Xiao said to the woman next to him, asking her to hurry up and inform everyone.
Things have developed to this point, even if it is useless to tie up the coffin, it is better to nail it to death in advance, and save a while to go to the grave, so as to prevent the corpses inside from coming out!
The woman shouted in a panic, and then a man hurried to the house of the person next to him, and immediately came out with a coffin nail and two hammers.
The crowd then knocked and beat on the coffin, and finally nailed the whole coffin tightly.
However, Ning Chuan had been watching all this, and now he felt more and more that things were a little weird.
Is the appearance of this black cat really such a coincidence?
