Chapter 35: Endless
Two days later.
Night.
Lin Lu's family.
The white coffin is still on a few benches in the courtyard.
The white coffin has been re-tied with cinnabar ink fountain string.
A ring of white lime powder was also sprinkled around the area.
And above the head of the white coffin, a large cloth was also pulled up to block the coffin in the courtyard where the moon was shining directly.
Behind the white coffin is a copper basin and incense candles are lit.
There are still ashes left in the copper basin, and those ashes are paper money ingots burned to the master in the white coffin.
The night was silent.
The people around him have fallen asleep.
Chang County outside the courtyard is dark, deserted, and quiet.
But the atmosphere in the courtyard tonight is a little wrong.
During the day, Chen Daochang took a few young people from the Lin family, as well as the yin and yang compass passed down by his ancestors, to go to the mountains and rivers near Kanyuchang County again, but as a result, Chen Daochang and the others failed to come back on time before dark today.
This can make Lin Heshun, who is responsible for guarding the coffin, and the seven of them miserable.
They've never faced this kind of battle alone.
I don't know what to do.
"It's really urgent, Chen Daochang took Lin Shan and them out to see the mountains and rivers feng shui, how come it was a daytime, and now it's night, why haven't you come back!"
"What can you do if you come back now, it's a curfew now, you can't enter the city gate, and you can't walk around the street casually, instead of waiting for Chen Daochang to bring people back, it's better to think about how to get through tonight." Mother, there is a coffin in the yard, what is the difference between this and sleeping in a coffin, I always feel that the whole yard is cloudy and windy!"
"Don't say these crazy things at night, I have goosebumps on my arms now!"
Seven people sat in the courtyard and drank wine, accompanied by pork head meat, cold salad pork ears, and roast chicken......
The heat of the heartburn after the entrance of Fenjiu.
Feel comfortable.
The more you drink, the more stamina you have, and the smell of alcohol gradually rises.
But the more you drink, the more addicted you become.
During the vigil, no one can stay up all night without a few sips of wine.
Since the corpse theft case occurred five days ago, in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, the Lin family has arranged five or six young people with strong blood and strength every night to accompany Chen Daochang and take turns guarding the coffin.
"Brothers, do you say that the Sanyang wine that Daochang Chen prepared for our vigil is really so magical, listening to Daochang Chen's tone doesn't look like he lied to us, wine can really ward off evil spirits?"
Drinking Sanyang wine, one of them looked nervously at the white coffin next to him, and said with a suspicious look on his face.
Hearing the words of their companions, the rest of them all continued to speak:
"I think Daochang Chen's ability is obvious to all, and everyone respects Daochang Chen, so Daochang Chen... There's no need to make up a lie to deceive us, right?"
"Regardless of whether this wine can really ward off evil spirits, I only know that if I stay up late and don't drink to refresh myself, I will definitely not be able to stay up all night without sleeping. ”
"Yes, yes, that's right. ”
The person who spoke at the beginning still had a nervous expression on his face: "It's not that I doubt Daochang Chen's words, it's mainly that there is a dead man sleeping in the coffin next to him, which is a little crazy." ”
At this time, Lin Heshun continued: "According to what Daochang Chen said, the evil anger and resentment after death are just left by popularity. Wine is dissipating, so the doctors in the medical hall use the medicine for blood, sweating, depression, and cold, all with wine. If there is really something unclean that comes again, we drink a few jars of Sanyang wine, and the yang energy is full of yin energy, and it will definitely not be able to get on our body. ”
After listening to Lin Heshun's words, one of them burped and muttered when the wine came up: "Why do I think this is what Chen Daochang said on purpose, in order to make us drink and make people courageous." ”
......
Next, a few people drank wine, ate wine and meat, and chatted about which lady had a big butt and which flower street woman was strong and cheap, so as to numb themselves and not think about the coffin.
The night is getting dark.
It gradually came to the second half of the night.
The moonlight overhead became darker and darker, and a dark cloud obscured the moonlight, becoming hazy and blurry, like a hairy moon with white hair.
Tonight, the night is getting darker and darker.
Lin Heshun and the seven of them drank too much, and their tongues seemed to be unable to find their own, and there were many empty wine jars on the table.
Lin Heshun felt his bladder distended more and more.
No more.
He couldn't hold back the more and more urine he was holding back.
He felt that his dick had been suffocated back in his stomach, and it was estimated that he wouldn't even be able to find his dick when he went down.
In fact, guarding a dead man's coffin, Lin Heshun's heart has always been very frightened.
He's been urinating for a long time.
But the man couldn't wipe his face, and he didn't dare to admit that he was cowardly, saying that he was afraid that he would go to the thatched house alone to relieve himself, so he didn't dare to go.
So I held back my urine for almost half an hour.
Lin Heshun felt that he couldn't hold it back.
The more you are afraid of the coffin, the stronger the urge to urinate.
"Brothers, who of you, who are going to go together to get rid of your hands?"
"I just wanted to get rid of it. ”
Because he held his urine for too long, Lin Heshun could feel chills and tremble all over his body when he spoke, and his voice trembled slightly.
A few people who were originally drinking and eating meat looked at each other tacitly, and the four of them all stood up together, and it turned out that the seven people had been holding back a bubble of urine for a long time, but they had been waiting for who couldn't hold it first and who spoke first.
The self-esteem of men at this moment.
It's better to soak in urine.
"But the seven of us are leaving, who will guard the coffin?"
"Archie, Ah Yang, Ah Feng, the three of you will stay first, and when the four of us are done, we will come back to replace you. ”
The three were very cunning.
As soon as he spoke, he left the table in an uproar, leaving only Lynch and the three of them scolding his mother in place.
The three of them had to continue to be bored and eat snacks, waiting for Lin Heshun and the four of them to come back.
It's just that the three of them waited left and right, and they couldn't wait for Lin Heshun to come back.
Worried that something had happened, the three decided to find someone.
This is the front yard, the thatched house is a filthy place, naturally not in the front yard, usually a family and friends visit the house or something, just the smell of summer, that must not scare people away.
Beyond the house, there is also a small backyard, where there is a place to store dry firewood, farm tools and sundries. Naturally, thatched houses were also built there.
When the three of Lynch walked through the house and came to the backyard, they saw that Lin Heshun and the four of them were very good, and nothing happened to them.
That is, the four of them got up and walked around, and were blown by the night wind, and at this time, the wine was completely up, and the four of them were bending down and vomiting, vomiting food scraps all over the ground.
The thick smell of the pit in the backyard was mixed with the rancid sour smell of undigested food.
The three of Lynch burst out laughing and laughed at Lin Heshun for their poor drinking.
But at this time!
"Smack!"
Under the originally calm night, there was a sudden sound that seemed to be knocked to the ground, and this sound was particularly harsh.
"What sound?"
"Seems to have come from the front yard where the coffin was placed?"
"Oops!"
