"Murazheng, this is what I should do, not to mention that I am also a member of Fangjia Village, no one can get out of it, this is nothing, who let me have the surname Fang, right?" Fang Jing hurriedly interrupted Murazheng's words, but he didn't want to let the whole village come to the door and besiege again because of this little thing, this kind of thing is not good, it's better not to have two, otherwise no one can stand it.

"Little sister, get some food for Xiaoya." Fang Jing looked at the little girl in the arms of Xiaoshi's daughter-in-law, Chen Xiuniang, and kept sticking out her head to look at Fang Yuan and the group of them were playing, and shouted at Fang Yuan.

"Okay, brother." Fang Yuan entered the right room, took some things, put some food on the small table, and continued to play with Xiaocao and the others again.

"Muramasa, eat some preserved fruits, little girl, come, take and eat." Fang Jing took some preserved fruit and handed it to Xiaoya, who took it and ate it.

"Jing Wazi, I know you don't want to accept the kindness of the village, but everyone in the village is grateful to you from the bottom of their hearts, but this matter is a big deal, okay, I'll discuss it with a few old guys, but I still have to make some suggestions when I have time, we are all old, and this Fangjia Village will have to be handed over to you to manage in the future." Muramasa took some preserved fruits and said while eating.

"Murazheng, this is not good, I am the laziest, I don't want to take care of any village, Uncle Shi is good, let Uncle Shi come in the future, you can rest and enjoy the happiness, I can't manage the village, Uncle Shi is steady, he knows more than me, you see that I really don't know anything about sacrifices." Fang Jing hurriedly refused.

In charge of the village, Fang Jing has a big head when he thinks about it, this family is short, who has nothing to do, and Fang Jing will be fine, if it is in another village, who doesn't want to be a village leader.

Fortunately, Mura Zheng can't help but force Fang Jing, after all, it's still early, and he is not in a hurry, maybe in the future, Fang Jing is willing to do this Mura Zheng, and Mura Zheng is not in a hurry.

"It's still comfortable for Jing Wazi here, you see that there is tea to drink and preserved fruits to eat, even my little girl always wants to come to you to play." Muramasa hugged Xiaoya, took some preserved fruits for Xiaoya to eat, and kept talking in his mouth.

"Xiaoya is willing to come, so let Da Mao Ermao bring it to play, anyway, there are many people in the family, it's not lively, besides, Xiaoya looks very cute, and I also like Xiaoya the most, Xiaoya, isn't it." Fang Jing teased Xiaoya, indeed, Xiaoya looks very cute and funny, and she is in the most fun period at this time.

Xiaoya is only a few years old, the age at this time can be said to be the most fun, and it is also the most curious age, although Xiaoya rarely has the opportunity to come to Fang Jing's house, Xiaoya's two big eyes are staring at Fang Yuan Xiaocao They are playing, and they actually want to play with some female babies, and they are taken by their two brothers every day, but there is no thing for girls to play.

After a period of time, Fang Jing's new house was also completed and could be relocated, but Fang Jing discussed with Chen Erlin and his wife that the new house was reserved for the early days or when the big head got married, at least don't let the new daughter-in-law get married, there is no place to live, and his family is used to living in this earthen house and bamboo house.

Chen Erlin and his wife didn't have any opinions, Fang Jing had discussed this matter with the two of them, to build three stone houses, one for each person in the future, besides, in a few years, the eldest head of the beginning will also reach the age of talking about his mother-in-law, but he can't be casual, at least this face has to hold up.

The sacrifice of the bones of the Fang family is also about to end, and in five or six days, it is estimated that the village is and the village elders will discuss which day to have a funeral, this is the biggest thing in Fangjia Village, every family will go to the ancestral land to dig a pit, which is also the village they have long negotiated, and it is also a good place to plan.

The ancestral land is located on the barren hill on the right hand side of the road into the village of Fangjia Village, where it is also the closest to the bamboo forest, the terrain is relatively high, it can overlook the entire Fangjia Village, as well as all the fields near Fangjia Village, there is a back mountain, there is no rest of water in front, there is a rising section on the right, and there is a hundred years of pine on the left, it can be said that it is a good feng shui place, although there is no so-called emperor mausoleum Feng Shui is good, but for the Zhuang family, it is not bad.

Early in the morning, under the big banyan tree, gathered all the people of Fangjia Village, regardless of men, women and children, all gathered here, every family, have tied up the paper figures, as well as the paper money made of straw paper, everyone is dressed in plain clothes, each man is holding the tablet, waiting for the village to speak, go to the ancestral hall, and take out the wooden box where the bones of their relatives are stored.

Fang Jing's family is also dressed in plain clothes, even Chen Erlin's family is the same, to get the household registration of Fangjia Village, it is necessary to do so, not to mention that it is still Fang Jing's maternal uncle's family, and the three of them are also like this, for the three of them, Fang Jing originally didn't want their three little babies to participate in this funeral.

But for the funeral in Fangjia Village, the big head is right, the big head said, the big head said, the three brothers and sisters came to Fangjia Village, they must also be from Fangjia Village, although they have not yet met the requirements for entering the household, but at least Fang Jing is their elder brother, as younger brothers and sisters, they naturally have to participate in the funeral of their father-in-law, which makes the eldest three brothers and sisters also among them, because Fang Jing can't stop it, this is originally a major human matter, and it can't be argued or argued.

"Today, is the day of the burial of the remains of our man, as the village leader of Fangjia Village, I should have led everyone to sacrifice and bury, but there are two bones of my eldest son and two sons who need to be buried, and I really can't get out of my body.

The village is standing in a relatively high place, shouting to the old and young people of Fangjia Village, although everyone is sad in their hearts, but they also have to obey the command, after all, this burial ceremony, but it needs to be respected, whoever dares to destroy this burial ceremony, who will become a sinner in Fangjia Village, no one dares to move any crooked thoughts at this time, not to mention that no one in Fangjia Village will move this crooked mind.

"Today, I presided over the burial ceremony of the remains of our family's men, and everyone listened to my instructions, and began to have men from each family holding tablets, entering the ancestral hall, and welcoming the men of the Fang family to go out on the road." Fang Youcai waved his hand and shouted to all the Fang family members, leading the man holding the tablet to the ancestral hall of Fangjia Village.

Plain clothes, also known as plain clothes, refers to the white clothes worn when bereavement or encounters murder, can also be said to be undyed silk cloth, which is also a custom culture formed by thousands of years of Chinese civilization, and a completely different custom culture from the West, when it comes out of the funeral, there are many eldest sons holding tablets, two sons knocking on the tomb gong, three sons playing yellow lights, such as no son or need to support the coffin, more by the close heirs to replace, in ancient times, the scale and style of male and female funerals are different, the coffin must be carried by relatives of their own clan, The funeral procession is composed of relatives and clansmen, who need to make all kinds of things made of different white paper, such as grains and animals, money and chariots, etc., and the in-laws or daughters need to cry and mourn to show their grief and regret for the deceased.

"Welcome, Fang Chongzhi's Lang, Fang Ping, Wude died in the battle of Puzhou in the third year, thirty-one deaths, and now the bones are found and buried back to the ancestral land of the Fang family, and the relatives are crying."

"Welcome, Fang Chongzhierlang, Fang Kang, Wude died in the Puzhou War in the third year, died in the twenty-ninth year, and now the bones are found and buried back to the ancestral land of the Fang family, and the relatives are crying."

"Welcome, Fang Jing's father, Fang De, Wude died in Luoyang in three years, thirty-two deaths, and now the bones are found and buried back to the ancestral land of the Fang family, and the relatives are crying."

"Welcome, Fang Dayong's brother, Fang Daneng, died in the battle of Jinyang in the second year of Wude, died in the twenty-eighth year, and now the bones are found and buried back to the ancestral land of the Fang family, and the relatives are crying."

“……”

Fang Youcai shouted loudly, and every time he shouted a person, the man of the Fang family holding the tablet entered the ancestral hall, holding the wooden box containing the bones, and walked out of the ancestral hall, everyone cried loudly, went to the big banyan tree, and lined up again.

As the names were shouted one by one, the first step of the ceremony was completed, although Fang Youcai was illiterate, but fortunately, he knew that today's events were extremely important for Fangjia Village, and he didn't dare to make any mistakes, even if there were some small mistakes, who would blame him?

All the men of the Fang family, holding the wooden box in their arms, put the tablet on the wooden box, forty-nine people are lined up according to each family, and the people of each family are lined up in an orderly manner, and there are a few Fang family men who died in the family, they can only be sorted according to the eldest and youngest, and most families have two or even three Fang family men who died in battle, which also makes Fangjia Village even less when there are fewer people.

"Fang Zhong leads, the little ghost avoids, the Yin Si guards the hall, send the men of the Fang family, and go on the road......" Fang Youcai continued to shout loudly, the village is holding the tablet wooden box and walking in the front, followed by the small stone holding the tablet wooden box, then Da Mao Ermao, and then Chen Xiuniang and Xiao Ya, Da Mao is holding a paper fish and dragon lamp in his hand, Ermao is playing a beast lamp, Chen Xiuniang and Xiao Ya are each carrying a paper lantern, Chen Xiuniang is also throwing paper money in one hand, made of straw paper, not without white paper, It's just that Datang has not yet formed a white paper to be used as a paper copper coin to scatter.

Fish and dragon lamps, animal lamps or something, in the ancient rituals, have a very important role, in fact, some modern rituals are also commonly used, in some customs and ceremonies, can still be common.

The plain guards all the way made this scene a little sad, and the crying shook the sky, and even the officials in the camp not far from the big banyan tree stood quietly on the side, silent, watching the burial ceremony in this Fangjia Village.

After the group marched to the ancestral land of the Fang family, it was another ceremony, and this ceremony was also the most important ritual in the final ceremony.

"Burn incense, move the bones to the tomb, and pay respects to the tablet." Fang Youcai loudly conveyed the process of this ceremony.

The men of the Fang family, who were holding the tablets on all sides, followed Fang Youcai's instructions and placed the wooden box in front of the grave, and then put the tablet in front of the wooden box.

"Kneel, bow three times, and finish the prayer." Fang Youcai shouted, as soon as the ceremony ended, the funeral was mostly completed, and only one last thing was left, but it had to stop for three quarters of an hour before the next ceremony continued, and these three quarters of an hour were the time for relatives to say goodbye to the deceased, and it was also the most sad and painful time, and only in these three quarters of an hour, saying goodbye to all this was the same as ending everything.

"The woman and the girl leave the scene, and scatter the soil after three days." Three quarters of an hour later, Fang Youcai's shout came, all the women and girls cried louder, after getting up, they looked back at the bones of their sons and daughters on the ancestral land, and even the sadness in Fang Jingdu's heart was silently amplified, although Fang Jing also shed tears, but without these women and girls, the cry shook the sky, and the funeral should have been grief-stricken, let alone crying loudly.

"Move the bones, scatter the soil to say goodbye, and return to the Yin Si." Fang Youcai loudly conveyed it to the ears of the men of each family.

The men of each family moved the wooden boxes into the grave, sprinkled them with earth, and whispered something softly, which was regarded as the final farewell ceremony.

"Dad, you go safely, you must go to find your mother, she is too bitter alone, my son is here to say goodbye to you, don't worry about me and my little sister, my little sister and I are very good, there are little uncles and aunts at home, there is food and drink at home, you can rest assured to go, just now you also saw the little sister, has grown into a big girl, and after a few years, you can also say that a mother-in-law has become a family, but the mother is alone, has been waiting for you to come back, and has never waited to see you, in the future, you and your mother can also be reunited below, don't worry about me and my little sister anymore, Dad, go safe."

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, Jing Wazi and Xiaotuanzi are very good, and the family is very good, with me here, go and reunite with my little sister with peace of mind."

The big head and the little tree then said a few words, like a final farewell.

Fang Jing said goodbye to Fang De and sprinkled a handful of soil, and Chen Erlin and a few little babies also sprinkled a handful of soil, which was regarded as a farewell gift.

"Pile up soil to seal the tomb and erect a monument." Fang Youcai passed a moment later, and the words came again.

The men of each family, young and old, began to pile up the soil and seal the tombs, erecting the stone tombstones that had been laid long ago, but everyone was very careful to pile up the soil and seal the tombs, not daring to be careless, because this was their relatives.

"Burn incense and salute, kneel on the ground and prostrate, three bows and three bows." Fang Youcai saw that everyone had already completed the mound of soil and sealed the tomb, and shouted loudly.

And every house began to burn incense and worship.

"Finished." Fang Youcai shouted, it can be regarded as the end of this burial ceremony, although the process is simple and complicated, but this is the wish of the Fang family, and when they go to the grave to worship in the future, they also have an object and an object of sustenance.
