Chapter 285: Broken Incense

But compared to these reasons, I believe more in the explanation given to me by my old man, my old man said that this cat is different from a dog, the dog is yang, the cat is yin, the cat can pass yin, and the most important cat has nine lives.

My old man told me that cats have spirits, nine lives, and when a cat crosses the coffin, the deceased will borrow a life from it to "come back to life". Experienced people will put straw next to them, and once such a thing happens, they will immediately cover it up with straw, so that the "person" who has come back to life will lie down again.

But no one has ever seen a corpse fraud, and no one has ever tried it, so if the straw really works.

That's why Anne and I are here.

We are also worried that Guoxian's grandfather deceived the corpse.

Because what we are waiting for here is not a corpse, but the ghost of the country's grandfather.

At this time, we hope that the ghost of Grandpa Guoxian will come back as soon as possible, so that I can persuade him, eliminate the resentment in his heart, and let him enter the underworld as soon as possible to reincarnate.

But what we didn't expect was that the unexpected came so early.

The wake has just begun, and Hongwei and Hongyu are ready to do the first wake.

Hongwei is responsible for crying, and Hongyu is doing things.

Magnificent knelt in front of the coffin and began to cry.

I saw tears in my magnificent eyes.

I don't know if it's really sad or what.

Hongwei cried, Hongyu took a small wooden stick, adjusted the wick in the kerosene bowl, and then burned three paper ingots in the brazier.

Then Hongyu lit three sticks of incense and was about to insert the incense into the incense burner.

But because this incense burner is very small and there is not a lot of sand in it, Hongyu tried several times, but he didn't insert the incense well.

We all know that to insert three incense sticks in the incense burner, the three incense sticks must be in a row, the middle one must be inserted straight, the distance between the two sticks on the left and right sides is the same as the middle one, not crooked, not far away, not three incense sticks one after the other, not in a line.

But no matter how Hongyu tries, the three incense sticks are crooked, but they can't be plugged in straight.

Then, I don't know what happened to Hongyu's hand, and suddenly with a force, one of the incense sticks was broken.

Hongyu was frightened, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, holding the broken incense stick in his hand.

No matter when, no matter who the incense is given, the incense is broken, it is a great omen!

At this time, Hongwei didn't cry anymore, saw the broken incense in Hongyu's hand, understood what was going on, and reprimanded loudly:

"Look at you, you can't do this little thing, what are you going to eat."

Hongyu's eyes were blank, and he didn't refute, he was stunned on the ground, motionless.

After a long time, Hongyu reacted, and hurriedly put the broken incense in his hand and continued to insert it on the incense burner, but this broken incense stick was inserted together with the two unbroken incense, which seemed incompatible.

Hongwei pulled out the broken incense and said angrily:

"You're crazy, can you still insert the broken incense?"

Hongyu said helplessly:

"And what do you say you should do?"

"What to do? How do I know what to do? ”

Several other brothers of the family also came over, and when they saw the broken incense, their faces changed.

"Two long sections, unlucky."

"Second child, why are you so careless."

"What can I do about this?"

"Uncle is not here, second child, look at what you are doing."

At this time, the main person had already returned to his home, and Hongwei and Hongyu didn't know what to do at all.

Then, Hongwei and Hongyu looked at me and Bai Annie.

These two people finally thought of us.

Although my old man told them that something had happened, looking for me and Bai Annie, although I helped them out of the siege when they were betting on the paper, but in their eyes, we are still just a yellow-haired boy and a girl.

So since we entered the mourning hall, they didn't look at us directly, and Anne Bai and I sat in the corner, quietly waiting.

Although the fat man also came with him, but this product will not be like me and Bai Annie, there is something to do, after this goods entered the mourning hall, he lay on the ground, regardless of the coffin of Guoxian's grandfather next to him, and fell asleep.

Something that has no heart and no lungs is good.

Finally, Hongwei took the broken incense stick in his hand, walked towards us, and his tone was quite polite, and asked:

"Xiao Shu, look at this, what should I do?"

I didn't speak.

It's not that I don't say, I really don't know.

I've never experienced this kind of thing, so how do I know what to do?

But I don't know, Bai Anne knows, I looked at Bai Anne.

Bai Annie didn't speak, glanced at Hongwei Hongyu and them, took the broken incense in Hongwei's hand, stood up, and walked out of the mourning hall.

We all followed.

Bai Annie inserted the broken incense stick in the middle of the courtyard, and then asked Hongwei to take a few paper ingots and burn them around the broken incense, so that Hongwei and Hongyu knelt down in the face of the broken incense and kowtowed three times.

Finally, Bai Annie folded her hands and said into the air:

"Take it."

After speaking, Bai Annie left without looking back and returned to the mourning hall.

However, Bai Annie did not go in, but stood at the entrance of the mourning hall, facing the mourning hall in a daze, as if thinking about something.

Of course, Hongwei and Hongyu didn't understand what Bai Annie's actions just now, and of course I didn't know, but at this time, I saw Bai Annie in a deep thought, and I was embarrassed to ask her.

Later, Bai Annie told me that the reason why the magnificent incense broke was because there were lonely ghosts passing by who grabbed "food" from Guoxian's grandfather.

The three incense sticks and those paper ingots, of course, were burned for Guoxian's grandfather, but those lonely souls and wild ghosts who passed by smelled the smell of incense and ran over to grab the offering with Guoxian's grandfather, so the incense was broken for no reason.

Since it has been broken, it should not be inserted again, so Bai Annie inserted the incense in the middle of the courtyard, and there were some paper ingots missing, so that those lonely souls and wild ghosts could take it.

At this time, you may ask, why don't you just take those lonely souls and wild ghosts?

In Bai Annie's words, the lonely souls and wild ghosts are not those ghosts that harm people, they are all very pitiful existences, for some reason, they can neither enter the underworld to be reincarnated, nor can they live in the yang world, they can only wander around, and there is no one to worship and worship, they can only rob the things of those who have just died.

But Anne Bai saw another problem.

She felt that there was something wrong with the construction of this mourning hall.

Because even lonely ghosts and wild ghosts would not pass by so coincidentally, they would not appear here so coincidentally, there must be something that summoned them.

That's why Bai Annie stared at this mourning hall and fell into deep thought.
