The things worshiped in front of the spirit are the most taboo to be abnormal, because people always have a mysterious mentality about gods and ghosts, and people will always unconsciously associate with gods and ghosts when something happens, and the most serious of them is the ghost fire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The so-called ghost fire refers to the phenomenon that the incense or paper burned by the descendants during the worship suddenly and violently, and when this happens, people think that there are unfilial descendants in the family, and the ancestors or the sacrificed people are angry and do not want to receive the incense of the unfilial descendants.

Therefore, when the incense in Kang Erlang's hand was burned, someone shouted ghost fire, and everyone's faces changed, it was related to the reputation of the Kang family, people were like this, no matter how greedy they were in their hearts, they still wanted a good reputation on the surface.

The atmosphere in the mourning hall was very strange, and after a moment of tranquility, Uncle Kang opened his mouth first: "Second brother and sister-in-law, I don't want to accept the incense of Erlang and his family." ”

Uncle Kang's face was very ugly, his face was calm and he didn't say a word, but he was beating the drum in his heart, he had always worshiped ghosts and gods and stayed away, today's incident made him a little scared in his heart, is it really the second and second family of the two ghosts?

The incident happened suddenly, Kang Erlang heard the words of the third uncle after the initial panic, his face turned red, and he stood at the offering table in a dilemma, at a loss.

Kang Dalang reacted quickly, and asked Third Uncle Kang a little mockingly: "How does Third Uncle know the thoughts of Second Uncle and Second Aunt?" Then whose incense do you say the second uncle and aunt want to receive the most? ”

Of course it's us Shiro or Hachiro, Uncle Kang San suppressed the words in his heart, and the corner of his eye skimmed to Uncle Kang Wu who was standing next to him, who knew that Kang Wu, who was still jumping in the afternoon, dodged his eyes and tilted his head to the side.

Third Uncle Kang secretly scolded his mother and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Fourth Uncle Kang, who had been silent: "What happened just now may be an accident, let Erlang try again." ”

"Yes, what are you doing in a daze? Don't hurry up and get incense. Uncle Kang woke up like a dream and instructed Erlang.

Kang Erlang swallowed his saliva before picking up the incense on the offering table and relighting it, but he only heard a snort, and a small fire broke out.

Kang Erlang couldn't help but scream, and threw the incense out by mistake, his face pale.

"It seems that the second uncle really doesn't want to accept the second brother's incense." A teenager of about fifteen or sixteen years old stood up, "My dad is right. ”

This is Kang Shiro, sixteen years old this year, his temperament is most like his father, he is a little clever and causes trouble in the village on weekdays, but he has a ruthless temperament, and many people are bullied by him and don't dare to fight back, and there is a faint tendency of the little overlord in the village.

"Then the fourth brother is telling me whose incense the second uncle and second aunt want to receive, yours?" Kang Dalang sneered.

Kang Shilang choked for a moment, he couldn't answer it, right, he looked at his father, Third Uncle Kang, what's the matter, didn't Dad reach a consensus with the fifth and sixth uncles? Why is the fifth uncle's eyes dodging, and the sixth uncle is silent?

Uncle Kang still doesn't understand at the moment, he secretly hates in his heart, he can't imagine that the eldest couple is so cunning, they must have reached an agreement with the old couple in the third room, otherwise the fifth and sixth will not ignore the benefits he promised and refuse to help him, but I don't know what benefits the eldest and the two of them promised?

"Uncle, four uncles, the deceased is the greatest, the auspicious time is about to pass, let's put incense first! Just what now? Kang Yeon broke the silence first.

Uncle Kang didn't say a word, he was a little afraid in his heart, and he didn't dare to say that he would let Kang Erlang try again, for fear that the result would still be the same, and it would be more troublesome at that time, so he could only secretly scold the evil sect in his heart.

Kang Dalang's eyes turned back and forth, not knowing what to think about, Kang Erlang's lips moved twice, as if he wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end.

"Anyway, you can't let Erlang incense, and the auspicious time will pass when it burns again." Third Uncle Kang muttered.

"Time is limited, let Yan'er incense!" Fourth Uncle Kang pondered for a while and then spoke, "The second brother and sister-in-law have no children, and it makes sense for Yan'er to incense them." ”

Uncle Kang is the most cheerful person in the Kang family, belonging to the kind of person who is a little heartless, he rarely asks about the big and small things in the family, and he never cares about money on weekdays, and is very popular with the juniors of the Kang family.

He opened his mouth, and no one refuted, the current situation makes Kang Yan incense the best choice, if Kang Yan incense is also on fire, then this matter will be evil.

Uncle Kang and Kang Shilang looked like they were waiting to see a good show, waiting to see everyone see the ghost fire again.

Kang Yan no matter what others think, her parents were worshiped by her incense, she solemnly walked to the offering table, picked up the three pillars of incense, bowed slightly, and quietly flicked the incense a few times with her right hand, before taking the fire fold in Kang Erlang's hand, and lightly beating, the faint flame lit the incense, and a faint fragrance slowly filled the air, Kang Yan held the incense with both hands, and gently inserted it into the incense burner, and the curling cigarette floated out of the incense and meandered up.

Kang Shilang's face changed, how could it be that a few words were almost blurted out, he obviously moved his hands and feet on the incense, why could Kang Yan light it? Could it be that she saw that she had made a move, thinking of this possibility, Kang Shiro's face suddenly became even more ugly.

******——******——******

The sky gradually brightened, and before breakfast could be used, the men of the Kang family gathered together again, and after breakfast, people came to pay respects one after another.

After the patriarch heard about the ghost fire incident in the mourning hall, he was also a little hesitant about Kang Erlang's succession, he was getting older, and he believed in the ghosts and gods more and more, "If it is the Zhixun couple who appeared and pointed out the matter of succession, then it seems that the matter of succession will be renegotiated, and the successor will be selected?" Although it is a rule for the young son of the long house to pass over, it is also necessary to respect the wishes of the deceased, if Erlang is not suitable for the succession, the children of the third family must be ......... from the eldest in the order of the eldest and youngest."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp voice came: "Patriarch is slow, our Erlang has been wronged." ”

Liu walked in with two boys, one was about ten years old, his body was a little thin, his face was indifferent, and the other was chubby, but his eyes were very flexible.

Liu said to the chubby boy: "Little Shi, you tell the patriarch what you just said again, and the eldest aunt will make you something to eat." ”

The chubby boy is Kang Shilang, the boy with an indifferent look next to him is Kang Jiulang, and the little nine and ten are the eldest and youngest sons of Uncle Kang Liu, respectively.

Xiao Eleven heard that there was something delicious, and he was immediately elated, and Xiao Fat pointed at Xiao Jiu and said: "I heard Brother Nine talking secretly to Brother Seven, and Brother Nine said that he saw Brother Fourth Brother get up at night and stand in front of the offering table for a while, saying that Brother Fourth must have done something on the incense." ”

Kang Shiro was startled, and goosebumps suddenly appeared on his back, obviously no one woke up when he did it himself, how could he be seen by Xiao Jiu? Thinking in his heart, he glared at Xiao Shi fiercely and explained: "Xiao Shi, don't talk nonsense, Xiao Jiu, what do you say you saw?" ”

Uncle Kang San glared at Kang Shilang, thinking that he was not careful, and looked at Xiao Jiu nervously, for fear that he would say something about Kang Shilang's actions.

The patriarch was a little dizzy by the sudden change, "Xiao Jiu, tell me what's going on?" Did you see your fourth brother do something? ”

Uncle Kang took a step forward and scolded Xiao Jiu: "Little rabbit cub, did you see your fourth brother sprinkling something on the incense?" Tell the Patriarch. ”

Xiao Jiu's eyes widened, and he explained: "I didn't see anything, I only saw the fourth brother standing in front of the offering table for a while." ”

Kang Shilang's heart was relieved, and he pretended to say: "I thought of the untimely death of my second uncle and aunt, and I felt sad, where did I stand to remember my second uncle and aunt." ”

Liu Shi was anxious, "Didn't you still say that you saw your fourth brother spilling something on the table?" ”

Sixth Uncle Kang stepped forward and slapped Xiao Jiuyi with a snap, "Little rabbit, tell me if you saw your fourth brother spilling something?" ”

Xiao Jiu's face suddenly swollen, the corners of his mouth were broken, and bright red blood flowed out, he gently wiped the corners of his mouth, and looked at Uncle Kang Liu with obvious hatred in his eyes, "I repeat, I didn't see it." ”

"You torturer, what kind of eyes do you have, I'm your father, what's wrong with beating you twice?" Uncle Kang was burned with anger stimulated by his eyes, and raised his hand to fight again, but was stopped by the third old lady who had been silent.

"Enough, sixth brother, the patriarch is here, don't be presumptuous." The third old lady's mood is a little complicated, some regret that Xiao Jiu should not have been arranged, Xiao Jiu did see Shiro standing in front of the table in the middle of the night, he thought about letting Xiao Jiu come forward to push everything on Shiro, if it succeeds, it is naturally good, if it is not successful, it will teach Xiao Jiu a lesson in the name of children's love to talk nonsense, this matter is over, at most Xiao Jiu's reputation will be affected, anyway, this child is already hard, in the heart of the third old lady, sacrificing the reputation of a grandson can be exchanged for him A big house is a very cost-effective deal.

"That's it, sixth brother, what are you doing to beat Xiao Jiu, do you want to bend into a move?" Uncle Kang's waist straightened again, and he muttered: "If Shiro does something, why is Yan'er lighting incense but nothing at all?" ”

This is a fact that everyone has witnessed.

The patriarch asked Kang Yan what he meant, "If Erlang can't succeed, then choose one of your third uncle's Shiro or Hachiro, what do you think?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Uncle Kang's family's face changed suddenly, and Uncle Kang and Kang Shilang were a little overjoyed.

Kang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as long as she crossed out Erlang from the list first, and then she tried to pick out what she wanted.

She pondered her words: "Uncle Grandpa, it is good for you to call the shots in such a matter, but since my parents have instructions, it is better for my parents to choose the successor!" ”

"Let your parents pick, how to choose?" The patriarch looked confused.

Before Kang Yan could speak, another voice interjected, "Patriarch, wait, I have evidence to prove that Erlang was wronged." ”
