During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
Qingming Festival is a special day for the people of Hegu Village, in the past, the village was poor, and the young and strong people had only one way to go out to work, but this has also become a point of no return for some people who go out to work.
Yunyi remembered that it was seven or eight years ago, when he was still in college, and a heart-wrenching thing happened in the village during the summer vacation.
On the morning of the fifth day when Yunyi returned from vacation, he was chatting with a few old people under the big banyan tree in the village.
Suddenly, a heart-rending shout shattered the tranquility of Hegu Village, and a 27 or 8-year-old woman stumbled into the village through the gap and ran straight under the banyan tree.
The sharp-eyed Aunt Hao had already recognized the woman who ran over, "Aunt Chen, that's your daughter-in-law Miao Cuicui, what's wrong with this?" As soon as Aunt Hao's words fell, she saw Miao Cuicui suddenly throw herself into Aunt Chen's arms and fainted.
The big guy was all hands and feet, slapping his face and pinching people, and it took a while for Miao Cuicui to wake up, and when she saw Aunt Chen, her voice was so choked that she couldn't speak.
"What's wrong with Cuicui、、、 、、、, are you talking、、、 what's wrong、、、、" Aunt Chen asked Miao Cuicui anxiously.
Seeing Miao Cuicui like this, the big guys know that something big may happen.
After a sad shout of "Mom、、、", Miao Cuicui fainted again.
"What should I do、、、、 what should I do、、、" Everyone was gossiping and had no rules.
Grandma Zhang looked at the chaotic crowd and said loudly: "Hurry up、、、 hurry up、、、 hurry up 、、、, go and invite the old Taoist master to come." ”
Looking at the drastic changes in front of him, Yun Yi almost didn't react, and when he heard Grandma Zhang's words, Yun Yi ran to the platform in the middle of the mountain.
Yun Yi gasped hurriedly and shouted: "Grandpa、、、 grandpa、、、 go to the village 、、、 、、、 quickly, something happened to the 、、、, and someone fainted." ”
Hearing Yun Yi's words, the old man reached out and took the medical box on the side and followed Yun Yi to the bottom of the mountain.
When she came to the blood banyan tree, Aunt Chen shouted anxiously: "Old Daoist、、、 you can take a look, what's wrong with my daughter-in-law?" ”
The old man hurriedly took Miao Cuicui's wrist and took the pulse, and after a few breaths, the old man opened his mouth: "Don't worry, Cuicui is in a hurry, and she is dizzy when she is unstable, and when I give her a needle, she will wake up." ”
Yun Yi hurriedly opened the medical box, and the old man took out a golden needle from it and stabbed it according to Miao Cuicui's Baihui acupoint.
The old man, while pinching the golden needle, lifted it, and after two minutes, he withdrew the golden needle and shouted in Miao Cuicui's ear, "Don't wake up yet" I saw Miao Cuicui's eyelids blinking, and she woke up slowly.
Seeing her daughter-in-law waking up in her arms, Aunt Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?" ”
"Mom、、、, Chen Ping, he 、、、 Chen Ping, his 、、、 is gone、、、、" Miao Cuicui cried as she said.
"What、、、? What did you say? Gone、、、? What does it mean? After listening to her daughter-in-law's words, Aunt Chen was also anxious.
"Chen Ping's co-workers sent me a letter to 、、、, saying that 、、、 、、、 said that the coal mining face where Chen Ping worked was 、、、 、、、 permeable, and Chen Ping and several workers did not evacuate in time, and they could not get out of 、、、 、、、 、、、 out." Miao Cuicui's account is intermittent. After listening, Aunt Chen's eyes were white, and she also fainted.
"Aunt Chen、、、 Aunt Chen、、、 Aunt Chen、、、 "Mom 、、、", "Big Sister 、、、", "Sister Chen、、、", "Osmanthus 、、、"
Seeing this situation, the old man hurriedly took Mrs. Chen's hand, took the pulse, and said: "It's also a hurry, but Osmanthus (Mrs. Chen) is older, and she is stricter than Cuicui, so a few people will carry them all home, and I'll take a closer look." ”
Aunt Chen and Miao Cuicui were carried back to the house by the villagers together, because there was not much space in the house, the old man asked two people to help take care of them in the house, and the others went to wait outside the house.
Aunt Hao came over with a crying child at this time and said: "Chen Xing, this child can't stop crying when he sees his grandmother and mother, and the second aunt (Chen Ping's second sister-in-law Wang Fen) coaxes him."
Wang Fen took the child and coaxed her, Xingxing is good, don't cry, the second aunt will bring you candy to eat in a while. While coaxing the child, Wang Fen also cried.
Seeing the 3-year-old child crying sadly, Yun Yi was also sad in his heart.
Chen Ping's father died early, and among the three brothers, Chen Ping was the youngest, (eleven or twelve years older than Yunyi).
Chen Ping has not had a child since he got married, so he finally went to the city hospital to see the illness and had a child, but he also took out the family's foundation.
In order to earn two more money, he went to a county-level private coal mine under the city of B in Linxian Province to work as a miner, but he didn't expect this to happen.
After the old man's diagnosis and treatment, Aunt Chen and Miao Cuicui both eased up, but they were sluggish, as if they had lost their souls.
Li Dazhuan, the village party secretary, discussed with Chen Ping's eldest brother and second brother, and went to the coal mine where Chen Ping had an accident, and only after three days did they get Chen Ping's ashes back.
According to the customs of Hegu Village, people who have died outside are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall directly.
Because the ancestors of Hegu Village have had a large ancestral hall for generations, although the people here are divided into several surnames, they all share an ancestral hall, but the tablets of each surname in the ancestral hall are separated.
Of course, the old Taoist elders Yun Yang and Yun Yi and several other surnames were all moved to Hegu Village after the establishment of New Huaxia, and these surnames also followed the local customs, and all the villagers of Hegu Village at that time also agreed that they put their surname tablets in the ancestral hall.
With the mutual support and love for each other over the past few decades, they are no longer separated from each other when they are integrated with each other.
After dying outside, if you want to put the tablet back in the ancestral hall, you must agree to every household in the village, and one person must stand up and carry the coffin of the deceased, and you can only be invited into the ancestral hall after going around the village for a week.
If a family or family is unwilling to leave, the tablet of the deceased will not be able to enter the ancestral hall.
Now Chen Ping's ashes can only be placed in the temporary mourning hall at the entrance of the village, waiting for the completion of the rituals, and then putting the urn into the coffin and being sent by the whole village for the last time.
The next day, all the people from the family gathered at the entrance of the village.
Seeing Miao Cuicui, who was holding her son Chen Xing, who looked haggard and was more than ten years old all of a sudden, came to the entrance of the village to pick up Chen Ping's ashes.
The women present couldn't help crying, and the men also had tears in their eyes.
There are still a few people like Chen Ping who are outside the village, so when it comes to the Qingming Festival every year, the bleak crying can be heard in Hegu Village, and the green smoke curling in the ancestral hall will also bring thoughts to everyone in the village; And on this day, the whole village will put down what they are doing, light up the fragrant wax money paper, and make a clear water meal for the people who have left.
