86_86322 Having a child was supposed to be a great joy for the succession, but in an instant, it turned into a funeral that made the whole family heartbroken.

And that child is even more pitiful, just after crossing Huangquan Road, he returned to the underworld in an instant, and he has never even opened his eyes to see this prosperous world.

According to the custom of Yang Gu, anyone who dies from swords, guns, fires, or death by scarring needs to do funeral work immediately and go out of the funeral quickly. Otherwise, the corpse may return to the soul at any time because of resentment, harming the whole family.

Therefore, on the first day of giving birth to the baby, Aunt Zhang's family immediately worked on the funeral.

It's just that southerners pay more attention to rituals, even if it is a simple custom, and the process is still indispensable. For example, in the funeral, you should invite the filial piety woman to cry and mourn, and the corpse will be placed under the pagoda, and then invite the muttering man to come over to fight a disaster, recite a scripture and exceed, and then go out to the funeral.

"According to the rules of our hometown, white-haired people send black-haired people, and they will die if they collide, if you want to go out of the funeral, you have to find a filial brother to lead the funeral." Second Uncle Niu's words made the family fall silent, the meaning of filial piety is actually similar to filial piety, but Brother filial piety wants to recognize the dead as a younger brother and lead the child out of the funeral. However, even if ordinary people are poor, they don't want to receive such a job, and they are afraid that the dead infant spirit will come back and haunt them at any time.

"I'll come, I'll be this filial brother, I'm a member of the Zhuyou family, I'm not afraid of those dirty things." When the crowd was silent, I stepped forward.

"Well, since Yiming is willing to be this filial brother. Let's go and get ready. Sister Zhang, I will go with you to buy a paper man paper bridge, and the child's father will go to ask Master Murmur, Yiming, you go to the Wang's house at the entrance of the village to invite Sister Ma to come over, crying and mourning, you still have to trouble Sister Ma. "Second Uncle Niu is a warm-hearted person, and he quickly assigned jobs for everyone.

I answered, turned around and walked out of the courtyard. However, as I walked slowly on the road, I realized that my heart became a little uneasy.

Perhaps, it's because the person I'm going to meet is Sister Ma, who has a secret affection for her.

Sister Ma is not surnamed Ma, and I don't think anyone knows her name. She's not old, just a few years older than me. The title of Sister Ma is the common name of the southerners for "self-combing girl".

In the past, most women would have a long braid tied behind their backs, but if a woman put her hair in a bun on her head, it meant that she would never marry for life, and her parents were not allowed to force them to marry.

This custom was formed in the Qing Dynasty, and it has been left to the present day, and these self-combing women are either to escape the abuse of the feudal family, or, it is the unspeakable women who will comb themselves. According to the old custom, a self-combing girl cannot return to old age in her mother's house for a hundred years. In order not to be a lonely ghost after death, most self-combing women will spend a lot of money to "buy the door"

Buying the door, that is, marrying a ghost. There are two forms, one is called "Tomb Baiqing" is also called the main card of marrying God, a certain family has a man who died early, whether a child or an adult, as long as the parents are willing, the self-combing girl can contribute a sum of money, and the dead person to make a yin marriage, buy as the daughter-in-law of that family, and after death can also enter the ancestral hall of that family. And the other is called "being a corpse", marrying a dead person who already has a family and being a concubine. When you enter the door, you have to be scolded by your in-laws, and after that, you have to hand over the money you earn to your in-laws, and you will be bullied and scolded by your in-laws, so that you can get a god tablet after death.

Sister Ma in the village is a hard-working self-combing girl, when she was a child, her father died of tuberculosis, and later her mother died of an accident. Superstitious people say that Sister Ma died, and treat her as a broom star. After the death of his parents, his uncle was greedy for money and accepted gift money, and wanted to marry the young Sister Ma to a seventy-year-old man as a concubine.

The stubborn Sister Ma refused to give in, and in order to escape her uncle's forced marriage, she combed her braids in front of everyone, preferring not to marry for life than to spoil herself.

Later, Sister Ma came to Guangzhou and bought a doorway in Yanggu Village. Married into the family of Chen Qiang, who died in the village due to smoking white powder. Chen Qiang died of white powder, and his wife also ran away with someone, leaving behind a seventy-year-old lady and a five-year-old child.

After entering the door, in order to afford the livelihood of the family, Sister Ma went to worship those mourning wives as teachers. Where there are dead people, Sister Ma is usually invited to cry as a filial sister, or to hold a wake for the dead. In this way, he took the dead as his companion and used the money earned from the funeral to support his family.

Therefore, Sister Ma is not only a hard-working person, but also a strong woman.

The first time I met Sister Ma was at a funeral. When I was a child, I liked to stay with her very much, and I also admitted that I liked this pretty woman a little, and my grandfather even joked with me before his death that I wanted to ask a matchmaker to go to Sister Ma for me. It's just that she is a self-combing girl who will never marry.

Second Uncle Niu said that Sister Ma was guarding filial piety for the deceased grandmother of the Wang family at the entrance of the village. However, I came to the courtyard of the Wang family and tapped on the door a few times, but I did not hear any response.

There is still a white curtain hanging at the door, and it should still be a funeral, how can there be no figure? Just as I was wondering, suddenly, I heard a strange cat meow.

With a meow, a big striped cat scurried under my crotch and ran out of the doorway. As I strolled into the backyard and looked around, my head exploded with a sudden scene.

An old lady, thin as a withered old woman, ran from the house with the Purple Gold Pagoda, the old lady's face was pale, her cheeks were painted red, and she was dressed as a dead man.

Look at the room again, there is gold leaf paper money, and the purple gold pagoda, and there is a straw mat in front of the tower, you don't need to look at it to know that it is the dojo of the dead, but now the straw mat that should be rolled up is set aside, and the corpse inside is nowhere to be seen. Looking at this old lady in a dead man's costume again, I couldn't help but think of two words......

"Mother, I've cheated the corpse." My scalp tingled with shock, and the dead man stood with his hands open and was about to run towards me. What's even more infiltrating is that she seems to have eyes, and she keeps following me behind me, opening her hands as if she wants to hug me.

"Quick, come this way." When I was out of breath when I was chased, Sister Ma walked out of the kitchen with a basin.

As soon as I saw it, I hurriedly ran towards Sister Ma, trotted to the kitchen door, a stone tripped me to the ground, said that it was too late, and Sister Ma quickly poured the water from the basin and stuffed the empty basin into the dead man's arms.

I turned around and saw the old lady with a pink face, holding a basin, falling straight down beside me.

Sister Ma handed over a bowl of water, and I finally calmed down the palpitations just now after I drank it.

"You, you're also the grandson of Grandpa Manxing, why don't you even know how to frighten cats and ghosts, and you're scared by her." Looking at my wolf bèi, the corners of Sister Ma's mouth turned into a smile.

"What, cats frighten corpses, ghosts hugging pots, what kind of thing is this, does it have anything to do with cats?" I scratched my head

"That's something that the old people know. When a person dies, cats are especially fond of committing crimes, and once they are by cats, the corpse will jump. And corpses like to attract popularity, and after swindling corpses, they will chase people away. If she was holding her, I was afraid that she would have to use a saw to see her hand open. Sister Ma said: "People who know things, when the corpse stands up, will take a thing, or a basin and hand it to the hand of the corpse, as long as you hold a thing, the corpse that is swayed by the cat will fall, this is the responsibility of the cat to frighten the corpse, the ghost to hold the basin, and the responsibility of the filial piety, is to prevent cats and dogs from touching the corpse." ”

After Sister Ma finished speaking, she picked up the fallen old lady with difficulty and walked towards the dojo in the room.

"Come, Sister Ma, I'll help you." I hurriedly stood up and stretched out my hand to help Sister Ma. It's just that as soon as I got closer, the strong smell of death almost made me vomit.

"Don't touch it, it's dirty." Sister Ma kicked me with her foot, and her thin body carried Mrs. Wang into the room.

"By the way, how did you know I was here?" After the dead body was placed, Sister Ma asked me

I told me what happened, and Sister Ma sighed gloomily: "Is there another child left?" ”

"Well, but don't worry, Sister Ma, I will definitely find out the reason and cut off this source." When I said this, I didn't really have much confidence.

"Go ahead, Mrs. Wang's daughter will come back in the evening. When they came, I immediately rushed to Aunt Zhang's house. Sister Ma replied to me with a pale face.

"Don't worry, wait for the children of the Wang family to come over and arrange the funeral. You just go get something to eat first, and then go when you're full. "Looking at Sister Ma with a pale face, I feel really uncomfortable.

It is said that the money of the dead is easy to earn, but this money is not easy to come by. Just talking about keeping filial piety for others, I can't sleep for a day and a night, I can't eat whole grains, and I can only drink boiled water to get by. If you meet someone who is picky about the days and hours, you have to let the filial daughter stay for a longer time, and how can others understand the hardships.

"I'm fine, the funeral is important, people go, you have to go to the law decently" Sister Ma reluctantly shook her head and sent me out of the Wang family
