Chapter Seventy-Nine: Negotiations

In Mingtang's room, the old lady was covered with a white cloth and lay quietly inside, and a small tent was set up with white pieces of paper at the head of her bed, and a freshly lit candle was placed in the tent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Spiriting flags are specially hung on both sides of the info bed, and this spiritualist banner rises spontaneously without wind, which makes her feel very weird.

There were many kneeling people around the bed, and she could not see their lowered faces, only their deep whimpering.

She looked up and saw that a lot of clothes had been thrown on the stairs above the house, and the style of the clothes was the old lady's. She took two steps back, and saw that the clothes were fluttering and seemed to fall off.

The rhythm of the hands beat and relaxed.

In some villages, there is a custom of throwing clothes on the roof tiles when people die, but she didn't know the customs in this village, so she didn't dare to look at it too much, so she moved inside.

She paid too much attention to the corpse, so she couldn't help but take two steps forward and went straight into the mourning group.

"Little girl, get out!" Suddenly, a scolding came from her ears.

She was startled, and looked back at him embarrassedly, only to realize that it was the uncle who was crying and shouting as soon as she entered the door just now.

"You came with Xiaosi? Do you know what you're doing when you're crying now? ”

She stepped back apologetically, but her eyes suddenly stopped on the Ming Hall, and she took a breath when she heard someone shouting: "The ever-bright light is out!" ”

This sound exploded directly on the spot.

As soon as the second aunt heard that the everlasting light was out, she hurriedly ran over and took a lighter and cried: "Mom, if you are uneasy, you come to find Xiaosi, Xiaosi can't see your last face and feels uncomfortable and guilty, if you don't look at your daughter at night, don't blow out the everlasting light, otherwise our family will be uneasy!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the ever-bright lamp suddenly turned on, and she breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as she was relieved, the lamp suddenly went out again, and even the spirit banner fell.

Cui Ran also quickly knelt down: "Grandma, I'm Xiao Ran, don't make trouble." ”

"Grandma." Cui Zhi also knelt down.

"Mom, don't be angry."

"It's all our fault, it's too late, Mom, you can go with ease!"

But no matter how much the family shouted, the light just couldn't be lit. Even the father of the second aunt couldn't calm down the ever-bright light.

Brother Mengyao stood aside and closed his eyes lightly and opened them again, and suddenly saw two shadows standing behind the second aunt, the shadows were flickering, but as soon as the second aunt turned on the lighter, she would blow out the lighter and then whew.

Without saying a word, she stepped forward and pulled her second aunt up: "Don't order." ”

"Meng Meng, what are you doing!"

"Cousin!"

"Little girl, what the hell are you going to do!"

She looked at the two shadows who were hiding away for a moment, and explained in a low voice, "You can't light the lantern." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The second aunt's eyes were red, and she cried directly when she looked at Brother Mengyao.

"Cousin, don't make trouble, don't you see that the scene is so chaotic now!" Cui Ran also blamed.

She snatched the second aunt's lighter and threw it directly down the eaves: "Forget it, she doesn't want you to light the lantern and blow it once, why can't you order it." After speaking, without looking at these people, he quickly walked to the corpse and lifted the white cloth, revealing an old corpse in a red shroud inside.

"Meng Meng!"

"What are you doing!"

The father of the second aunt jumped up and hit Brother Mengyao with a cane.

She didn't cry out in pain, suddenly took out a jar from her body, raised her head violently, and shouted to the darkest corner of the room: "Imperial order, come in!" She shouted, and the black shadow in the corner of the room suddenly screamed, and was directly taken in.

She glanced at the corpse, picked up the brush with the mourning couplet written on the side, and without saying a word, drew a talisman on the old lady's face, and after drawing it, she stepped back and threw the jar directly into the air.

In a moment of silence and amazement, the jar hung in the air.

She stretched out her right hand, her thumb and middle finger flexed, and the mouth of the jar was facing the corpse's face.

"Open her mouth." It was as if she was talking to the air.

But no one acted.

She frowned and waved her hand, and the old lady's mouth immediately opened.

She slapped her hand on the bottom of the jar, and the shadow that had just been collected in the jar immediately flew into the old lady's mouth. She quickly closed the old lady's mouth, and retracted her hand with her fingers on the center of the old lady's eyebrows and along her chin.

"Wait for her to wake up, but the soul is not very stable, you put away these funerals and the clothes on the eaves, otherwise the old man will be scared when he wakes up, and the soul is likely to be scared away again."

She pulled the clothes from the corner of her clothes, looked along the corner just now, and found that the black shadow was still there, and after a dull glance, the shadow suddenly retreated and disappeared.

Cui Zhi followed her gaze, swallowed his saliva and turned his head again: "Mom, take it, clean it up." ”

She stumbled, her legs went limp, and she sat down directly.

No one in the entire room dared to talk to Brother Meng Yao, not because of anything else, but because of the two hands that were exposed just now and frightened.

She didn't mind standing in front of the old lady's corpse and guarding, she was unstable, who knows when the thing that hooked people's souls came again.

After it was cleaned up, the father of the second aunt came over tremblingly: "Collect it, clean it up." My wife, she... What's wrong with her? ”

She politely shouted to the old man: "Old lady, I am Meng Meng, the niece of the second uncle and fourth sister." ”

He suddenly said, "Are you Meng Meng?" Oh, you came to our house when you were a child, and you ran in our village every day, although we only lived for half a month, but we were happy, and then you left and never came again, I didn't expect to see you today! His eyes turned into joy, and Brother Mengyao could tell that he was really happy.

"That's right, at that time, I was crazy with my eldest cousin and my eldest cousin outside the door with my friends in the village." She smiled.

He sighed: "How much has passed." ”

The uncle who was yelling at her at the beginning immediately walked over when he heard that it was Meng Meng: "Are you Meng Meng?" Remember me? I'm Uncle Shi! I picked you up when you were a child, and when you were bullied by the village kids, I beat the kid who apologized to you! ”

Brother Mengyao smiled: "Remember, because of this incident, you also quarreled with the child's family later." ”

He patted his head with a sigh: "You have grown up, you are beautiful, and you are amazing." "He seems to be talking about what just happened. There was an old lady over there, and the child also wanted to come, but who knows, but suddenly heard a deep cough, and immediately exploded the house again.

Especially the second aunt stepped forward anxiously and hugged the old lady: "Mom, Mom, do you remember who I am?" Mother? ”

The old lady's eyes were confused, and when she opened her eyes, she saw her second aunt smiling: "Little four." ”

"Mom, you're scared us to death."

"Grandma!" Cui Zhi and Cui Ran also hurriedly walked over.

Uncle Shi and several siblings surrounded him, calling out to his mother in tears. The old lady wiped her tears, these children had never gathered in front of the old man before, maybe some things were only known after they were lost.

She shouted the names of these people one by one, crying: "I had a dream just now, I dreamed that I died before I could wait for you, and I saw Xiao Si crying all the time and lighting the lantern, and someone pulled me to take me away." I don't want to leave, so I keep blowing that ever-bright lamp, so that the little four can't be at nom. ”

The people in the room looked up at Brother Mengyao in surprise, especially the second aunt glanced at her and immediately turned around: "Mom, then how did you come back?" ”

"Then I saw a girl pull you up and say don't order it, and she was covered with light, and I was afraid that I retreated to the corner, and I found that the girl took a jar and took me in, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw you."

Cui Zhiyi pulled Brother Mengyao over: "Grandma, are you seeing her?" ”

Her misty eyes suddenly became clear: "It's her, it's her!" ”

She smiled at the old lady: "Old lady, I'm Meng Meng." ”

"Meng Meng?" She shouted in a state of mind. Brother Mengyao hurriedly pulled her from the arms of her second aunt, and slashed her hand on the stone on the side, blood splattered out, she quickly drew a horizontal line on the old lady's eyebrows, and then slapped her head violently.

"Her soul is too weak, this room is not clean, hurry up and carry her out."

Cui Ran sighed and immediately carried the old lady to the yard.

Brother Mengyao frowned and looked at the old lady, who knew that he suddenly saw a black shadow standing behind Cui Ran and stretched out his hand to pull the old lady's arm.

Her eyes widened, and she immediately picked up the wicker that had been folded a long time ago and pulled it over, Cui Ran was inexplicably twitched and screamed in pain: "Cousin, what are you doing!" ”

She pulled the person over: "Men from 22 to forty came out and surrounded Cui Ran and the old lady in the middle." ”

Uncle Shi and Cui Zhi hurriedly stood up, and immediately after the two of them, a man came up and surrounded Cui Ran and the old lady.

"When you have a menstrual period, you are not in good health or you are sick, and all of them go out."

The second aunt looked around, and saw that two or three women had all gone out.

She looked at it almost before she said: "People are humane, ghosts have ghost paths, and it is very unreasonable for you to take away people who have not completed their longevity to be your companion without authorization." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of water from the faucet suddenly came from the small courtyard, which frightened a person in the courtyard.

"Your dead grievances should go to the king of the underworld to complain, why come up and suffer others. There is always one place in the Ten Yan Palaces to take care of you, why do you wander. ”

"That's good, I came back this time, I didn't bring anything, and the people around me were not there, so it was not convenient to do it. Let's take a step back, I'll help you find out the cause of your death and help you enter the underworld to be reincarnated by the way, can you let my old lady go? ”

"Don't negotiate terms with me, in the end, you're just a ghost, I'm kind and angry to negotiate a treaty with you on an equal footing, if you don't want to, I can only fight with you."

Her voice fell for a moment, and the sound of the faucet suddenly disappeared.

"Lift the old lady up." Her brow furrowed deeply. Outside the door, the second aunt heard that there was no sound in the house, and hurriedly pushed the door in, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady up.

"Mom."

The old lady shook her head and looked at Brother Mengyao gratefully: "Thank you." ”

She shook her head: "It's a little too early for Xie now." ”

The second aunt hurriedly helped the person to the chair on the side, and then stood up with a sigh of relief: "Meng Meng, what's going on?" How did my mom end up like this? ”

She helped the old lady onto a stool to the side.

Uncle Shi took Cui Zhi and Cui Ran to look at her with palpitations, waiting for her answer.

"Actually, at the previous picnic place, I didn't feel right when the water bottle I was holding rolled down the hill."

"After that, when I came to the old lady's house, there was no difference, not to mention that what made me suspicious was that you couldn't light the lantern from aunt. The everlasting lamp is a long lamp that illuminates the way after a person dies, but the old lady's lamp has not been lit, so there are only two possibilities, that is, the old man does not want the ever-bright lamp to be lit. Because she had to get out of here as soon as the lantern was lit, she didn't want to leave. There is another possibility that the person who was lit did not die at all, including her soul. She looked at the old lady.

The old lady smiled: "I just didn't want to leave at the time, so I kept blowing and blowing." ”

She continued: "At that time I saw a shadow standing next to the old lady, but the difference was that this ghost was obviously the kind that had been dead for a long, long time. Once the ghost ghost becomes a small climate and begins to hook people's souls, it will become a powerful ghost among the ghosts, she wants to take away the soul of the old lady, maybe she wants to borrow the corpse to return the soul, or she is too lonely to find someone to find a way to reincarnate together. All in all, whether out of malice or good intentions, this practice violates the laws of the two worlds of yin and yang. ”

She turned around: "It's not suitable for me to come back this time, the fortune of the national highway has begun to slowly change for the better, and if I make a big move, the fortune of the national highway will change again and again." So just now I negotiated with him on a condition to find out the cause of his death, and to retrieve her bones and send her into reincarnation. ”

"Are you kidding again? It's not a TV series or a movie. Cui Ran rolled his eyes: "This is simply an impossible fact." ”

Uncle Shi also nodded: "Xiao Ran is right, this matter is too difficult. You also said before that he has been dead for a long, long time, and we are all ordinary people who can't do it. ”

The second aunt also lowered her head.

Brother Meng Yao straightened his clothes: "There is no such thing as doing nothing in this world, as long as you want to, you can do anything, including... Killing, arson, sinning, and then whitewashing and continuing to be human. ”

Her metaphor was like a bomb that blew up the minds of several people.

Cui Zhi rubbed the corners of his eyes: "Your metaphor is unacceptable." ”

"So, all you have to do is hurry up and find out why he died, as well as the location, the ins and outs, and who she is."

"It's a conundrum." Uncle Shi sighed.

Brother Meng Yao said indifferently: "The problem is to find a way to solve it." ”
