Chapter 5: Waiting for the funeral
The inside of the coffin turned out to be empty, and the big girl I put it in with my own hands is gone!
I've been following Ji Ye for so long, and I've indeed seen a lot of strange things, but I've never heard of a dead person who can leave the coffin and disappear by himself!
"It's broken" Ji Ye muttered, "She can't leave here, it's broken"
As he spoke, he almost stumbled to the ground!
I have never seen Ji Ye scared in my life, so I hurriedly hugged him: "Ji Ye, is it because I committed a taboo and really cheated the corpse?" ”
"Don't the fuck ask, you won't want to know" Ji Ye coughed violently, his thin chest heaving: "I see that a catastrophe is coming"
"So what do we do now?" I hurriedly asked, "Get her back?" ”
"Of course!" Ji Ye gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do: "Go back first and wait for the funeral." ≠.8≠1≠z=≈.co≈m”
Whose funeral are you waiting for? Ji Ye refused to say any more, and walked back with me, and saw the big poplar tree that I thought was my godfather on the way, and suddenly said: "In the future, if I am gone, the most important thing is to take care of your godfather's affairs, but you must not relax." ”
Every fifteenth day of the new year, I have to take care of my godfather, and from time to time I have to prevent wild boars from arching the roots of the tree, absolutely with a clear conscience, but now I am full of thoughts about the whereabouts of the big girl, and I only absent-mindedly responded, and after thinking about it, I immediately snorted: "Why do you keep saying something unlucky these two days?" ”
Ji Ye grinned and didn't squeak.
The people in the village went to bed early in order to save electricity bills, and it was already silent at this time, but I don't know why, tonight, the dogs of every family barked very happily, and it was particularly harsh, as if something invisible had come into the village, which made people hairy.
When I was about to sleep, Ji Ye gave me a piece of cork, a bit like a kettle warmer, and let me put it in my mouth when I slept, I was inexplicable, he waved his hand and said that this is a life-saving thing, and it has to be contained, and it has to be contained.
I couldn't resist him, so I had to sleep with it in my mouth.
As a result, I felt that someone was lying on my side, leaning softly on my side, and my heart trembled, like a big girl!
Sure enough, she sneered in the dark, exactly the same as what I heard when I was digging graves!
"Qianshu," her beautiful voice sounded in my ears, and the green silk hung down and teased my heart: "Come with me, okay?" ”
I followed the devil, I couldn't help but want to agree, but I didn't make a sound, she looked at me silently, as if she was very disappointed, that lonely look, let my heart hurt!
"It's okay." Although the corners of the eldest girl's eyes were filled with tears, she still said softly: "I'm waiting for you"
As soon as the words fell, I opened my eyes, and quickly turned my head to look, there was only white moonlight on my side, where was there anyone!
This will make me suddenly react, there is a taboo on our side, that is, when you dream that a dead person asks you to go with him, you must not agree, otherwise, you will be pulled by the dead person!
I immediately understood that Ji Ye gave me this wooden stopper to prevent me from talking nonsense in my dreams!
When I woke up, I was afraid that I couldn't sleep well, although I didn't want to die, but as soon as I closed my eyes, there were tears in the corners of the big girl's eyes.
I got up in the middle of the night to relieve my hands, but I saw Ji Ye kneeling under the statue of the old gentleman in the hall, and muttered: "I only broke the bad rules this time, the old gentleman blesses, I am all for a thousand trees, the debts owed by the predecessors should not be repaid by the future generations, one life is worth one life"
I only vaguely heard this, Ji Ye burned incense, turned around and went into the house, and did not see me.
It's just that after Ji Ye left, the incense head was suddenly extinguished.
I gasped, which probably doesn't bode well.
Sleep with a lot of worries, the sky is bright, but it will not be possible to be woken up by a burst of suona, where is there a suona early in the morning, a dead man? No, this thought made me sober up immediately,, didn't Ji Ye say yesterday that he would wait for the funeral?
As soon as I got out of bed with a grunt, I ran out, the hall was clean, and Jiye was not at home! Thinking of his sentence yesterday "one life for one life", I hurriedly went out to find him, but I was bumping into Li Guoqing, he passed by the door wearing linen and filial piety, but I was startled: "You kid was mourned, and you had a rabbit plague?" ”
As soon as I saw that he was mourning, I quickly grabbed him: "Brother, whose family is dead?" ”
"You still haven't believed it?" Li Guoqing hurriedly pointed to the west of the village and said, "Our seventh uncle is gone." ”
I was stunned: "Uncle Seventh is so young, why is it gone?" ”
My family is young in the village, and it is said that he is the seventh uncle, but he is actually a few years older than us, less than thirty.
"I don't know!" Li Guoqing looked around at no one and said in a low voice: "I heard that the strange death, like my daughter-in-law, has hit the evil spirit!" ”
I hurriedly asked, "What's the wrong thing?" ”
Li Guoqing immediately described it vividly, saying that the seventh uncle came back late yesterday, and went around the grave circle in order to get closer, and when the results came out, he felt dead and heavy, as if he had carried a person, thinking that he was tired, and he didn't take it seriously.
When he got home, he lifted the lid of the water tank and scooped up the water, but he saw from the reflection on the water surface that he still had a head on his shoulder!
The seventh uncle was frightened and dropped the scoop into the tank, the water was mixed, and the head was gone, I wanted to find Ji Ye to see, Ji Ye was partial and not at home, and it was not quite right to go back, muttering what a life for a life, but in the middle of the night, the seventh uncle and grandmother touched no one around them, and when they looked up, they saw a pair of barefoot girls on the top of their heads, and then the seventh uncle was hanging on the beam, his neck was broken, and his head was pulled to his shoulders.
Yesterday, I went to the cemetery with Ji Ye to open the coffin, and I was on a fork with the seventh uncle! And what Ji Ye said, isn't it also a life for a life!
I remembered the abrupt dog barking last night, and the more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, it was estimated that Ji Ye had already gone to the funeral, and quickly followed Li Guoqing to buy two packs of yellow paper to mourn.
The courtyard of the seventh uncle's house is very large, and it is already crowded with relatives who wear linen and filial piety, but everyone's expressions are not as sad as ordinary funerals, but frightened, and the whole courtyard is filled with a feeling of trepidation, as if they are all afraid.
Li Guoqing went to burn paper one step ahead of me, and I was looking for Jiye everywhere, but in the crowded filial piety clothes, I saw a person in a red robe by mistake!
Wear a red robe for funerals, what is this special thing to find a draw? And at a glance, although the face of the man in the red robe was blurred, he showed an inappropriate joy, clearly grinning with a big mouth!
That contrast is inexplicably goosebumps! I wanted to see who the red-robed was, but my sight was blocked by a few passing relatives, and the figure disappeared.
It's strange, so piercing people, only I can see it?
"Qianshu, what are you hanging out!" Li Guoqing pulled me over as if he was carrying a chicken cub: "Don't cry and mourn!" ”
The rule on our side is that the first step in the funeral is to kneel down in front of the coffin, crying and singing a story of the deceased's life, such as: "My aunt, give me meat and vegetables when you are alive, there is no sweetness in your bitter life"
While singing, he waited for other relatives to pull it away, and he couldn't get up after one pull, and he needed to pull three or four times to show his sadness, which was called crying and mourning.
Relatives will also secretly comment on who cries in a better tone and who sings better words, which is a matter of fighting for face.
I hadn't participated in a funeral since I was a child, so I had to search for dry intestines, but before I could think of it, my seventh uncle and grandmother, who were guarding the brazier, stood up suddenly, stared at me with wide crying red eyes.
I was taken aback, didn't I come up with the words and she saw it?
"Stinky bitch!" The seventh uncle and grandmother kicked the paper pot open, and the paper ashes were scattered all over me: "You rotten thing and your face is here!" ”
Only then did I realize that she was not glaring at me, and when I looked back, I saw that it was Li Guoqing's daughter-in-law standing behind me!
Li Guoqing's daughter-in-law's face was fanned by Ji Ye yesterday with the sole of his shoe like pig's head meat, swollen a little translucent, green and yellow, and lost her usual arrogance, and said in a snort: "I condole."
"Do you need to be a fox to condole?" Although the seventh uncle and grandmother are young, their fiery temper is also well-known in the village, and they have a nickname called Erjiao, which can be seen that the ignition is on: "When you were alive, you robbed people with me, and when you died, you came to rob me as a widow?" ”
, Li Guoqing's daughter-in-law Hongxing went out of the wall, and she got involved with the seventh uncle for a long time!
The relatives were grunting their eyes, all of them knew it, and it had long been an open secret to work together!
Only Li Guoqing seemed to be shattered by a slingshot: "Seventh uncle and grandmother, what are you talking about?" ”
"You stupid, are you fucking deaf or blind?" The seventh uncle and grandmother simply sprinkled: "You two are Wu Dalang playing with night cats, who plays with what birds, what are you doing with my man!" Old Seven, get up and take a look, Xiao San killed you not to say it, and came to the door to humiliate me! ”
"Seventh sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense!" A relative who has long been older has grabbed the seventh uncle and grandmother: "Why did you become a nephew and daughter-in-law who killed me?"
"Ask her!" The seventh uncle and grandmother shook their arms: "The seventh came back so late yesterday, is it for her!" It's a good time, this is the spirit of Lao Qi in the sky, let me avenge him! ”
Saying that, he pounced on it with his teeth and claws, and scratched with Li Guoqing's daughter-in-law, the relatives were blocking and blocking, and people were in a mess on their backs.
I comforted him a few words, and he suddenly hugged his head and started crying.
"It's pitiful on National Day," a few relatives around quietly discussed: "Lao Qi, this bastard, made some stinky money to burn, and even his niece and daughter-in-law did it, maybe this is retribution." ”
"Why does Lao Qi make money?" Another relative muttered, "That's evil money!" ”
