Chapter 281: Sacrifice
[Ran^文^Library][]. []. [com] I looked at Honghong and said, "You'll find out for yourself." ”
To be honest, it's really a matter of opinion on whether the countryside is fun or not, I used to think that the countryside was like a paradise, but now it's a little worse than the previous state of mind, but I still like to go, but if it's fun, I think I have to be accompanied by someone.
When I arrived in Jinhua Village, it was almost evening, we just got off the bus, I instinctively wanted to go to Grandpa Liu's house, Grandma Li saw my thoughts, and said to me, "Danyang, let's go back to see him, grandma's sister's house is still inside, we have to walk a long way." ”
I nodded, glanced in the direction of Grandpa Liu's house, and found that the houses in the village had just been picked up, and there were no people, so I looked at Grandma Li and opened her mouth to ask, "Grandma Li, why has this house been demolished?" “
Grandma Li was also a little puzzled, nodded and said, "Yes, why have the houses been demolished, is this place going to be widened, I have long heard that this piece is going to be zoned to the city, it may have moved." “
As soon as I heard Grandma Li say this, I suddenly remembered what Grandpa Liu's wife said when Yuan Shuai was put on his body, this place will be occupied, so if it is occupied, where will Grandpa Liu go.
I thought, following Grandma Li's side, pulling Honghong's hand, walking in the other direction of the village, I have to say that Grandma Li's sister lives very far away, along the way Honghong may be hungry, and has been chirping and saying that I can't walk, I can't walk, how far is it.
Grandma Li looked very tired, and looked at the two of us and comforted, "It's almost there, it's coming soon." ”
"Grandma Li, why didn't anyone get a tractor for us to pull." I was also tired, so I couldn't help but ask in the end, because when I went to the countryside with my grandmother, I was usually picked up, and I rarely walked so far.
When I went to Uncle Lin's house, I also took a tractor, at least I couldn't walk out of breath.
Grandma Li sighed, "I'm busy, I'm embarrassed to ask others, you two insist on it." ”
I hummed, and didn't read anything more, and it wasn't until it was dark that the three of us arrived.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw that it was brightly lit, and there was a mourning shed in the yard, because I had seen many funerals, so I was not too curious, as soon as Grandma Li entered the yard, she went straight to the mourning shed and knelt down directly, shouting "Sister, sister is late!" ”
Everyone in the yard knew Grandma Li, and some were quite surprised to see her, probably because they didn't expect Grandma Li to take her two children over so far away, so Grandma Li caused a new round of crying.
Honghong and I were fine, we were led directly into the house and someone took care of us, and we both got something to eat, some people thought that Honghong and I were both granddaughters of Grandma Li, and said that Grandma Li was blessed or something.
The only thing I didn't expect was that Grandma Li actually had a hand, that is, she could cook, and the cooking in it was not ordinary cooking, or she could cook banquet dishes, black and white dishes, she would make them, and after her mood stabilized, she began to help.
Honghong and I stayed in the house after we were full, she was a little scared, because the spirit shed was outside, she was a little afraid of the dead, so we never went out of the house, plus the walk was a little far, and after a while we fell asleep on the kang, I didn't have any dreams, but I was woken up by the sound of people very early in the morning.
When Grandma Li received the news, she had already stopped in the yard for two days, and after we slept at Grandma Li's sister's house for a night, it was the third day, and the third day was the funeral, and there was a big event in the morning that was to go to the sacrifice.
I will talk about it in detail here, there is a particular point here, that is, after people go to the bottom, they will not see anything for a moment, and at this time they need the help of the people above to see, how to help with this help, that is, to make some kinds of pasta, to make a fish, and those who go down can see the fish, and to be a bird, and those who go down can see the birds.
After finishing it, put these things on the case in front of the coffin, and burn them together at night, and the pasta is very small, but there must be many types, usually two or three hundred kinds, so Grandma Li and they got up early to prepare.
But I think this is more like a kind of respect or mourning for the deceased, I don't think it's to let the people who go down see it, because I've also seen those things, and there are family members who haven't held a funeral, and the customs of all parties are different.
Or maybe you can't see it? Alas, that's a long way off.
When I got up, I saw that Grandma Li had been busy working, I went to the toilet in the yard, and then saw Grandma Li carrying some new noodles into the mourning shed on the desk in front of the coffin, at this time I felt that something was wrong, a little panicked, and then my eyes kept staring at Grandma Li in the mourning shed, she had been bowing her head and focusing on the things that were sacrificed, and her head was facing the direction of the coffin, my eyes were a little sour, and I was thinking about whether I was thinking too much. I saw a black shadow come out of Grandma Li's body, 'Whoosh'! It got into the coffin in one fell swoop.
I was startled, and when I looked closely, Grandma Li had already set it up and walked out with a large tray.
Because my grandmother was not there, I couldn't immediately verify with my grandmother what the situation was, and I didn't know if it was because I was staring at Grandma Li for too long and was dazzling, so I had to run quickly to Grandma Li's side, looked at her in the kitchen and opened her mouth and said, "Grandma Li, how did you feel just now?" “
Grandma Li glanced at me, "What do you feel?" ”
"It's to enter the mourning shed." I hurriedly answered, looking at Grandma Li was quite nervous.
Grandma Li looked at me and smiled a little uncomfortably, "Xiao Danyang, is it that grandma is timid and doesn't dare to go in, it's okay, grandma is not afraid of people in the world, besides, there are so many people in this yard, grandma is not afraid." ”
I thought Grandma Li had misunderstood me, but I didn't say anything as if she didn't have anything to do, so I went into the house.
There was nothing going on during the day, and it wasn't until the evening, when I was about to burn the paper cow and the paper man, that I was sure that I must have read it correctly, there must be something wrong with the black shadow that came out of Grandma Li's body!
