Chapter 51: Relocation of Graves (2)
On the day of digging the grave, many people in Lijia Village came to see the excitement. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info First, it is not the busy season for farming, everyone is idle, and secondly, because the second family of the Li family is in the limelight recently, and they are building new houses and barren mountains, and they are busy chattering all day long, so that the people in the village are envious. No one died and no one buried, so why did they start digging graves?
The master who digs the grave is looking for a well-known person in Hebian Village who does this business, three grandchildren. Maybe there are a lot of onlookers, so there are so many people around, and the three grandparents and grandchildren are not in a hurry and orderly to work.
"Erwa, take a good look, it's not right!" The oldest man gestured.
The young man named Erwa nodded, squinting his eyes and measuring carefully.
"Daddy, expand a little bit outside." Erwa said.
The middle-aged man expanded to the side with the comparison of the second baby, raised his head and asked, "Middle?" ”
The second baby squinted her eyes again, "Hit." ”
"Erwa's father, you also go up and take a good look." The old man commanded again.
The middle-aged man put down the iron and jumped out of the digging grave. Similar to the expression of the second baby, carefully measured.
"Dad, it's okay." The middle-aged man said.
After digging, they waited for the owner to come to check, and the three grandparents did not move the place, so they each sat down in place.
"Who's digging a grave?" A ghostly man asked, who is it not Liu Dazhu.
Most of the villagers didn't like this man very much, and when they saw him coming over, they all moved to the side. Seeing that no one answered, Liu Dazhu opened his mouth and asked a man again: "Brother Zhou, who dug this?" I haven't heard of anyone in the village who is gone. ”
This is called Brother Zhou's brother Zhou Dashan's brother Zhou Dahai, although Zhou Dahai also hates Liu Dazhu very much, but everyone asks by name, it is not good for people in a village to ignore it. So the urn replied angrily: "I heard that it belongs to Li Yulin's family." ”
Li Yulin's family? I only heard Li Yushan say that their family has recently broken up, but no one has been killed, why did they go to the grave? This is not dead, how unlucky it is to dig this. Thinking of this, Liu Dazhu hurriedly ran in the direction of the Li family's old house, no, he had to ask Li Yushan. In case his family has bad luck, and he often meets with Li Yushan, if there is any bad luck, won't he get it?
Liu Dazhu almost didn't pause, and ran directly to the Li family's old house.
Li Yurou was embroidering in the yard when she saw Liu Dazhu coming, and glared at her with disgust. The third brother didn't know what to think, why was he so good with Liu Dazhu, a rag-skinned scoundrel.
"Sister Yurou, where is the embroidery?" Liu Dazhu saw that Li Yurou's legs couldn't move, and he was not in a hurry to ask Li Yushan about something, so he approached Li Yurou with a smile.
Li Yurou disgusted, don't look too much: "What do you do, what's the matter." If you are looking for my third brother, go quickly, he is in the house, if you don't look for it, get out of here, don't hang around in front of me, an eyesore. ”
Liu Dazhu was not angry: "I just haven't seen Yurou girl for a long time, so let's not come and see Yurou girl." You can't do this to my brother, my brother has always been hanging on to you. ”
Liu Dazhu said it seriously, and his eyes swept over Li Yurou's slightly bulging chest in confusion, and Li Yurou's heart was furious.
"I'm telling you, Liu Dazhu, don't beat my mind. I don't sweep the urine to take care of my appearance, and I still want to eat swan meat with a toad? Li Yurou said unceremoniously.
This Liu Dazhu gets together with Li Yushan all day long, but he doesn't have the handsome little white face of Li Yushan, and his face is pitted because of the leprosy, which is very in line with the image of a toad.
"Sister Yurou, I am not as handsome as your third brother, but gentle, if you follow me in the future, you will know." The more Liu Dazhu spoke, the more presumptuous he became, "Don't worry, I promise that I won't ignore you and sneer at you like Gu Yongjia's little white face." ”
Li Yurou listened to Liu Dazhu's words, and her chest was violently bullied, and her face was unusually ruddy. Even Liu Dazhu knew about his rejection by Gu Yongjia, so there should be few people in the village who don't know, how is this good, they are the most happy to talk about this kind of thing.
"How? Sister Yurou, you don't think about me? Liu Dazhutian asked shamelessly.
"Get out of here." Li Yurou grabbed the embroidered basket and threw it on Liu Dazhu's head, but the head was not accurate enough, so she didn't hit it at all. Seeing that Li Yurou was angry, Liu Dazhu grinned happily: "Sister Yurou, you are busy, brother, I still have something to look for you, and I am looking for you when I turn around." ”
After speaking, Liu Dazhu rushed into Li Yushan's house.
In this broad daylight, Li Yushan was lying on the kang and falling asleep, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, probably what kind of sweet dream he had! Liu Dazhu scolded in a low voice, this thing is really like a dead pig, there was so much movement outside just now, he even slept so soundly.
Liu Dazhu shouted a few times, but there was no response. had to step forward and pinch Li Yushan's nose, making it difficult for him to breathe, and even so, Li Yushan woke up after a while. When I opened my eyes, I saw a huge pockmarked face in front of me, and I was so frightened that I almost screamed out, and when I reacted, I saw that this was Liu Dazhu.
"Dazhu, what are you doing, you almost scared me to death." Li Yushan said dissatisfied, lifted the quilt, and sat up.
"Yushan, you said that the weather outside is so good, why are you just sleeping at home?" Liu Dazhu said disdainfully.
Li Yushan was distressed for a while: "What can you do, the weather outside is good, but I can't stand the cold, it's still warm on the kang." A few days ago, my mother and I suffered a big loss at my second brother's house, and I went out to walk around the village, and most of the people were working with my second brother, which was boring, so it was better not to go out. ”
"Your second brother's family is really okay now." Liu Dazhu is also envious, he, like Li Yushan, is the kind of person who doesn't work hands, although he envy people for 30 big money a day, but if they want to make a big effort, they panic. It's so lazy to be used to it, who would suffer like that.
"Okay, you can't make up your mind. Their family has a wolfdog-like nursing home, and they are full of kung fu, if we make up our minds and are discovered by him, it is estimated that we will not have half of our lives. Li Yushan said dejectedly.
"Don't talk about this yet," Liu Dazhu interrupted Li Yushan's words: "I saw a strange thing today, that is, someone is digging a grave on the south side of the hillside that your second brother and they reclaimed. I asked Zhou Dahai, only to find out that it was your second brother's family who got it, you said, there is no one in this family left, what are they doing with this thing? ”
"What? Grave pits? Li Yushan said in surprise.
"That's right, now it's all dug up, and many people in the village are watching the excitement." Liu Dazhu replied, "You don't know about feelings." But speaking of which, such a big thing should be done by the family, why don't you know? Can your mother tell you this? ”
Li Yushan was confused, his mother didn't say it.
"Let's go, follow me to my mother and ask what's going on." Li Yushan was not bad, and after getting dressed, he led Liu Dazhu to find Li Zhao's family.
Like Li Yushan's reaction, Li Zhao's family was surprised when they heard that Li Yulin's family was digging a grave, what is this good thing doing?
Seeing his mother's reaction like this, Li Yushan knew that this matter was not his family's matter, but the second brother's own trouble.
"Mother, this matter is very serious?" Li Yushan didn't know why.
In Li Zhao's eyes, this is not only serious, this is simply a call for her to eat fruits. The Li family has an ancestral grave, and the second son himself began to dig the grave again, what is this doing? If you can't get it right, the ancestors of the Li family will know about it, and they won't bless the Li family. No, we'll have to take a look.
After making up his mind, Li Zhao called Li Dehai to lead Li Yushan to the place Liu Dazhu said.
"Mother, aren't you afraid of that black-faced man?" Li Yushan said with some fear.
"I don't believe it, your father will go today, how dare they, unfilial sons, connive at my wife like this?" Li Zhao said angrily.
Li Dehai was a little inexplicable: "What are you going to do?" ”
"What? I told you to see how the good son you raised disobeyed his mother. Li Zhao said angrily.
Li Dehai didn't know anything about what happened before, and even if he knew, he would stand on the side of the second child, after all, it was the old woman who went to make trouble.
When the group of four people arrived at the place where the grave had been dug, they saw that there were a lot of people gathered there, and when they looked at the crowd, the three grandparents and grandchildren were sitting on the edge of the dung pit, the old one was smoking dry tobacco, the middle-aged one was bowing his head and fiddling with the iron, and the younger one was looking around at the onlookers.
Li Haitang and Li Yulin have not yet appeared.
"Who told you to dig it?" Li Zhao rushed to the three ancestors and grandchildren who were digging the grave, "This is a sin, where is the grave dug casually?" ”
The old man said unhurriedly: "Naturally, someone invited us to come and dig it, as for whether we are casual or not, we don't know, we only know that this is a person who is going to be buried." ”
"Our Li family has an ancestral grave, and the three of you don't ask clearly, just dig a grave here, in case it affects the feng shui of our ancestral grave, can you cover it? Yes? "Li Zhao is unrelenting.
The old man saw that the old woman was unreasonable and did not plan to deal with it, so he directly filled another bag of dry tobacco and smoked it silently.
"I said you dead old man, you talk!" Li Zhao saw that the old man did not squeak, and his heart became even more angry.
"This lady, why are you talking so dirty?" The second baby looked up dissatisfiedly and replied, "My grandfather is older than you, you call the old man dead, and I am not afraid that God will split you." Also, we've dug a lot of graves. Naturally, someone invited us, so we did it. You are so unscrupulous, be careful that no one will dig a grave for you when you die. ”
The words of the second baby made Li Zhao tremble, this kid actually cursed himself to death.
Li Dehai saw that his wife and son blamed the three ancestors and grandchildren indiscriminately, and he was also very unhappy, when would this old woman's temper change.
"Master." Li Haitang shouted Li Dehai crisply.
Since the separation, Li Dehai has never seen Begonia and the other two imps, and when he saw it, he was naturally very happy.
"Begonia is here. What about winter plums? Li Dehai asked.
"Master, they are reading and reading, no, the people from the riverside village who were invited to dig a grave, I came over with my father to see if it was okay." Li Haitang replied, deliberately ignoring the existence of Li Zhao and Li Yushan, and didn't even shout.
"You little girl, say, what are you messing with, is this grave dug when you say it's dug?" Li Zhao went to Li Haitang, "Messing around all day, what if I rush the feng shui of the cemetery of the old Li family?" ”
"Milk, it's strange, I found a quick place to get this grave by myself, how can I wash the feng shui of the Li family's cemetery?" Li Haitang asked puzzledly, "Besides, my mother didn't even enter the ancestral grave after she died, so I, as a daughter, can't I get her a cemetery and bury her properly?" A while ago, my mother dreamed that she was too lonely in the wilderness. ”
Li Gao's dystocia and death are known to almost the entire Lijia Village, after all, she gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus all of a sudden, which has almost never happened in Lijia Village in recent years.
Hearing Li Haitang say this, everyone knew that this Li Gao family couldn't even enter the ancestral tomb of the Li family, which was really pitiful. He was bullied by Li Zhao before his death, and he couldn't live in peace after his death, this person who didn't enter the ancestral grave, but he was a person who didn't belong, not only could he not get peace, but he couldn't even eat the offerings for the New Year's holidays. Lao Li's family has gone too far!
Listening to the whispers of the people around him, Li Dehai's old face was as red as a pig's liver. The dead old woman did too much back then, and her daughter-in-law was not allowed to enter the ancestral grave when she died, and she also said that the bad luck of dystocia would affect the feng shui of the ancestral grave, and it would affect the descendants of the Li family at that time.
"It's cold." Li Zhao felt that his back was shining, this Li Gao's death did not stop, and he dreamed, "Your mother died of dystocia, that is an unclean person, how can it be like an ancestral grave?" At this time, you will be responsible for the feng shui of the ancestral tomb? ”
"That's right, in order not to damage the feng shui of the ancestral tomb, we found a new cemetery." Li Haitang said, "This has nothing to do with the ancestral tomb." ”
"Nonsense, your mother is the daughter-in-law of my Li family. This self-reliant person, is he thinking of leaving the Li family? "Li Zhao is unrelenting.
"Milk, what you said is serious, I just built a grave for my mother and erected a monument, why did I leave the Li family?" Li Haitang said impatiently.
"Second child, you say, whose idea is this?" Li Zhao also ignored Li Haitang, and directly turned his head and asked the silent Li Yulin: "At that time, it was okay to say that Gao Fei was not allowed to enter the ancestral grave." You're making a big fuss about the graves and erecting monuments right now, but you're complaining? ”
"That's it, second brother, although you are not in our ancestral grave, you can also affect it!" Li Yushan also followed.
"You all have to say less." Li Dehai said in a calm voice, "Our old Li family doesn't pay attention to these. ”
"Not particular?" Li Zhao's hair was fried, "Dead old man, you forgot, the master said back then that this high jade can't enter our ancestral tomb, if it does, our Li family will definitely be sparsely populated." ”
When Li Gao's family was gone, there happened to be a master of Taoism who was said to be Yunyou's Taoist master in this Li family village, and after saying such a thing, as a result, Li Gao's misery was created, and there was no place to live when he died.
Li Haitang was angry when he heard it, just because those so-called Taoist people talked nonsense, so he let his mother suffer such treatment? These people are really stupid.
"Milk, don't say anything else, my mother married my father and gave birth to three of our sisters and brothers, all of whom are the blood of the Li family. Although she died in childbirth, why is it not clean? You just let her die restless because the Taoist priest talked nonsense, are you worthy of her who desperately gave birth to the descendants of the Li family? You don't want to think about it, if there is a Taoist priest who says it casually when you don't have milk, and then the children don't give you the ancestral grave, can you rest in peace? ”
Li Haitang was in an atmosphere, his little face was flushed, and his voice was extremely stiff, and he said this in front of so many people.
Originally, the onlookers were all watching the excitement, originally, this matter of digging a grave has nothing to do with their own family, and it is not easy to speak, they have also heard of the words of the Taoist priest, and they only feel a little reasonable, but after listening to Li Haitang's words, everyone began to bow their heads and think, if they are gone, they can't even enter the ancestral grave, where can they rest in peace?
Li Zhao was stunned by Li Haitang's words, and he didn't pick up the conversation for a while.
"Milk, now that my father and I have taken a step back, thinking that we have found such a place to give my mother a place to live, and you are still making trouble, are you not afraid that my mother will come to you late at night to question?" Li Haitang said again, aren't you afraid, I have to scare you.
It just so happened that there was a wind for a while inexplicably, which made the onlookers a little drumming in their hearts.
Li Zhao was blown by the wind, only to feel a cold back, and his legs trembled unconsciously.
Others don't know what's going on, but Li Haitang knows what's going on, this is the method that Chu Qi came up with, creating something that can blow wind in a hidden place, and letting the wind blow to the crowd at the right time to scare people. I didn't expect it to be really easy to use, this gust of wind came inexplicably, and there was no positive sign, and the effect was very good.
"What's wrong, milk? What's wrong with you? Li Haitang asked kindly.
The more Li Zhao thought about it, the more scared he became, and he only felt that what Li Haitang said was true, "Old ...... Old man, I'm not feeling well here, let's go back. ”
Li Dehai didn't feel afraid, he thought in his heart, even if his daughter-in-law's lonely soul really came to find it, it was their Li family's mistake first. After telling Li Beach and Li Yulin to do a good job, Li Dehai led Li Zhao and walked back. Li Yushan and Liu Dazhu, who came with a trip, didn't talk to them, and walked away with a smoke.
Anyway, this grave relocation is the business of the old Li family, and it has nothing to do with himself, the people of the old Li family are gone, and it is not interesting to surround here again.
"Uncle, how much silver is this for you?" Li Haitang asked the old man who had been sitting on the edge of the grave.
"Today, dig a grave, five taels of silver. There is also the time to turn back and move the grave, five taels. One or two graves are piled up, and five taels are carved and erected. Sixteen taels in total. The old man replied.
"Isn't it digging graves and piling graves for a total of five taels?" Li Yulin was surprised.
"Yes, that's when people are buried for the first time, you are not, there is a taboo, if you don't want to, you can count the silver for digging a new grave to us, let's go, you find another person, the designation will only be higher than what we want." The old man said disapprerovingly.
Li Haitang thought for a while and said: "Just according to what the uncle said, please ask the uncle to think more and settle my mother's bones well." ”
It is estimated that there are a lot of taboos for people who do this business, and the corpses of people who have passed away for a few years still have a lot of awe and worries in the hearts of ancient people.
The old man nodded: "The little girl is good." ”
