Grief (2) (166)

A series of incredible events happened enough to make Tao Zhenkun stunned in shock, at a loss, and his mind was blank.

In the face of everything, he really didn't know how to deal with it for a while!

"Did you find Daddy?"

When this ethereal question shot through his paralyzed mind like a sharp arrow, it seemed as if his coagulated blood had just begun to circulate again. His frozen body left the spot and rushed towards the large coffin. At this moment, he has only one thought, that is, to find his father as soon as possible, and he has no intention of answering Liu Xingmei's question. In this cold night, if you can find it sooner, you will have more life than if you find it later.

Faced with the large coffin, he still hesitated. However, he quickly made a decision, and reached out to push the coffin lid through a gap. When I looked down, it was pitch black and I couldn't read anything, so I had to reach in and grope with one arm.

He was really scared that his dad would be in there, what would that mean? But after searching everywhere, I didn't find any sign of going out of this courtyard, and now it can be said that this is the only place where I can hide in this coffin.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were standing outside the building, were anxiously waiting for news. Liu Xingmei supported her mother-in-law, who seemed to be unable to support her body and stand firmly.

As for Qiu Lanzhi, she seems to have predicted what the result will be, so her whole person is shrouded in the shadow of grief and despair, but in the absence of confirmation, it seems that there will still be a trace of luck. However, when a man is willing to cut off the root of his life, it is equivalent to saying that he has the determination to die, and has abandoned the courage to face everything by living. Is it that he has no perseverance to resist the torture of the strange disease of "swollen dick sha"? Or are you desperate for the idea of incurable cancer? Is it that dying one day earlier will let the family get rid of the suffering of being dragged down one day earlier? Or was he - a victim of a man's dignity by her vindictive desire for conjugal pleasure? There will be a thousand links between these four, and if the most important thing is from the latter, then she is like an executioner, which is equivalent to murdering her husband and becoming the culprit, so that she will not be able to forgive herself!

Her tears flowed like pearls with broken threads, and they had just slid down her cheeks and were frozen into ice edges.

Tao Zhenkun put his right hand into the coffin, but when he touched it, he realized that the quilt really showed the shape of a human body. In this frightened state, I hurriedly went to probe the snort, only to find that there was no breath left, and when I touched the body again, it was already cold and hard!

In this way, then the person lying in the coffin now will become a dead body!

"Daddy! Father! Daddy—"

Tao Zhenkun couldn't control the sudden grief, he cried loudly, and slammed his fist into the coffin that devoured his father's life.

Liu Xingmei caught the result from his howling and crying.

Qiu Lanzhi was suddenly paralyzed in her arms and fainted.

It's a Chinese New Year's Eve that was about to pass!

What Tao Zhenkun couldn't know was that his father was silently reciting his father's sentence "Life is boring, and death is not a pity" to death, and he couldn't erase the desperate scene when his father resolutely jumped into Hell Valley from his mind, how tragic it was?!

The earth-shattering cry first caused the dogs in the neighborhood to bark, which was tantamount to passing the news, and then almost the entire village of dogs was awakened, and they would also bark in a daze. At the same time, the people who were awakened could have bad news in the faint crying.

Could it be that Tao Qisheng has the ability to predict the future? I put on my shroud early and asked someone to put the pillow and futon in the coffin in advance.

Could it be that the weasel and the night owl are keeping a watch for his charity and charity?

It's really incomprehensible about weird things!

Tao Qisheng died like this, and the cause of his death would be as puzzling as a mystery.

————————

The next step is to report the funeral.

In those days, some customs are very particular, after the death of the breath, the mourning family to do not know the relatives and friends to report, the messenger to come and go quickly, relatives received the letter, immediately change into plain clothes to go to the funeral, into the door should kneel, buckle the head, crying, this is called crying head road, the children and grandchildren of the mourning family kneel to welcome, buckle the head and return the salute, at this time do not talk about the generation, sometimes the mourning family to find a guest to take the family to the neighbor's house to find busy, the family can not wear filial piety to go, enter the door, to buckle the head, and then explain the situation. As for the Tao family, Tao Zhenkun's relatives are none other than two aunts, but when this snowy land is enclosed, it is impossible to report the news from a long distance, and the same is true for Liu Xingmei's mother's family. He only went to Lao Wu's house and Tao Qiyue's house, which showed that his father had passed away-

"If a person dies and cannot be resurrected, let's mourn by the way!"

The snow was soaking, and the old lady Wu had difficulty walking, so under the persuasion of her children and grandchildren, she sent her four sons to represent the Wu family.

The four brothers were comforting the Tao family.

Some people in the village came one after another after hearing the news and burned paper in front of the big coffin to mourn.

As for the big coffin, Tao Zhenzong took the lead and was carried out of the side building by a few young men, and put on the spiritual shed.

Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei wore linen and filial piety, greeting everyone who came.

Regarding the burial, there are "big burials" and "small burials". There is a saying that a small burial refers to dressing the deceased, and a large burial refers to collecting the body into a coffin. (The eldest son holds the head, the second son holds the feet, and everyone helps to put it into the coffin,) usually within 24 hours after the person breathes the auspicious time to enter the funeral, the children and daughters are around the deceased when they are buried, and some children and grandchildren want to do it personally, the specific objects are: the bottom of the coffin should be placed with seven bronze coins on the Big Dipper, put three sorghum stalks, to show that it is a kang hole, and then put the mattress, the dead enter the coffin, put the quilt on it, put gold and silver paper on both sides of the pillow, some cover their heads with cotton, and some cover their heads with incense and books, and cover their bodies with paper to show that they are fragrant with books, step on lotus flowers, and put gold and silver paper on both sides.

Some places are burying horses, what is a horse into the burial? That is, people put it in the coffin before swallowing their breath, until they swallow their breath, this is to go to the funeral, and if there is a condition, they will build a funeral shed outside, and most of the rural areas will go to the funeral, saying that they will not make a mistake after death, and they will be buried after death, and the coffin will be put into the coffin first, and it will be consecrated before the spirit. However, in winter, it is not suitable to go into the funeral, so you can only stop in the mourning hall. It is not a horse to be buried, but within 24 hours, the auspicious time is chosen to open the light and enter the burial.

When entering the funeral, you should recite the burial mantra, saying: Leave the old house and live in the new house, and the ancestors will be auspicious for generations.

Tao Qisheng's death also omitted some cumbersomeness.

Tao Zhenkun, as a son, has to stand at the gate to greet the visitors, and kowtow to everyone regardless of generation, which is the way of filial piety, which is said to be able to forgive the soul of the deceased to the underworld in front of the Lord of Yama. The tears in the corners of his eyes have never been done again, since he was a child, this is the first time he has tasted the most painful thing in the world, nothing is life and death! Although he has lacked emotional communication with his parents for many years, his love and attachment to his parents is self-evident!

As for the person who knows the guest, of course, it is Tao Qiyue, who has accumulated a wealth of regular experience in many years of marriage and funeral, and he has considered all aspects thoughtfully, and there will be no big mistakes if he knows it. Ten miles of different winds, hundreds of miles of different customs, don't look at the poor countryside here, but there are customs and habits, red and white ceremonies are very particular, relatives are far and near, generations are divided into sizes, father and son are not the same, although it looks troublesome but also has regularity.

There is an old saying: it is better to cut than to spin round.

Zhike relies on scheming and lipstick, Tao Qiyue can be said to have a talent in this area, and he is clever and tongue-in-cheek, to say that he can say that he can say that he can jump out of the coffin and run around the earth and then return to his position is definitely too exaggerated (but later, when his son Zhenzong had to be with Liu Xingmei, his eloquent mouth also became unfavorable. People are sometimes like this, other people's affairs are easy to manage, but when they are put on their own, they become a hot potato).

About Dai Xiao.

At that time, after the suspension of the spirit, first of all, the filial piety of the men and women was withdrawn from the old people (the old people who knew how to withdraw filial piety). Whether it is Manchu or Han, whether it is wearing linen or wearing filial piety, it is necessary to wear filial piety according to the following rules, and must not wear it indiscriminately.

The deceased is male, Dai Xiaoying should be short on the left and long on the right, and the deceased is female, Dai Xiaoying should be short on the right and long on the left. Those who tie the waist, the deceased is a man, and filial piety men and women must tie the left side of the waist regardless of gender. The deceased is a woman, all have to tie the waist to the right, that is, the short is not there, Dai Xiao is the filial piety of the younger generation, the younger generation does not need to wear filial piety, the parents walk a length to be eight inches, the parents are gone to the filial piety cloth to be eight points, must not take Qi Xiao, that is a heavy mourning, unless the two old people die together, (die in a day or a funeral together so that you can wear Qi Xiao), do not, do not avoid, this is the custom, there are rules and laws can be followed by the rules and regulations.

Dai Xiao used to be very particular. It's not so much attention now. As long as you can wear filial piety. But the family should also wear plain clothes, children to carry heavy filial piety, must be worn on the head, grandchildren on the filial piety cloth with a small piece of red cloth, great-grandchildren on the filial piety cloth with a small piece of blue cloth, depending on the difference, other clansmen men tied on the arm, men on the left arm, women on the head. Of course, Tao Qiyue understands this, and it is up to him to arrange it.

One of them came to Tao's house to greet the eight shouts of busy running and running everything, but this person surprised others, this person is Rong Fanhui, since the last time Liu Xingmei took the lead in teaching, he was like an empowerment, realized the true meaning of life, and changed his face to be a new person. Originally, he was very arrogant and casual, but he changed his image in the eyes of others, and he no longer seemed to be as high-flying and domineering as if he had eaten tough guy, he knew how to be modest and polite, and he was completely reborn. In fact, he himself is not very bad-hearted, but he is a stick and a temper, and he likes to play sharp and arrogant, and sometimes he can say things that can stink for eighty miles.
