Immortal Mystery Chapter 2 Incense
Although I thought about it a lot, I didn't say much, just patted Li Yuan's shoulder and pointed to the altar and said to him: "This person is called the altar, and I am a child and engaged in photography." Isn't your Silk Village close to the sea? He wants to come over and pick up the wind! ”
"By the sea? There are not many people here by the sea! ”
"That's more pristine!" I said, "You don't know that people who are engaged in art now don't all pay attention to this!" "Actually, I don't know anything about art, so I can only talk nonsense...... But I think that what I don't understand, Li Yuan definitely doesn't understand.
Li Yuan glanced at the altar and said, "So that's the case, I said you want to come to such a remote place?" ”
Hearing Li Yuan say this, I was also happy in my heart, and it seemed that I was fooled. He didn't even notice whether he had the camera equipment with him, and he only believed it when I said it casually, and this guy wasn't an observant either.
"I said could you find a place for the two of us in your village? We're going to have to stay in your village for a few days! I put my arm around Li Yuan and said.
Li Yuan pursed his cheeks, and said with some embarrassment: "Let me help you ask...... The main thing is that my uncle will be funeral tomorrow, and there are many things that need my help today......"
"Don't, brother! It's so far away from other villages and towns, do you want my buddy to sleep in the suburbs? ”
“...... If you can't find it, you can stay at my house tonight! Li Yuan said.
"Okay! That's it! ”
After Li Yuan finished talking to us, he walked into the courtyard. To be honest, no one is Li Yuan's uncle, if it were Li Yuan's parents, I and the altar would have to go into the courtyard to pay respects, otherwise it would not be appropriate. But since the deceased person is his uncle, there is no need for me and the altar to go in and cause chaos for others, more things are better than less things.
After Li Yuan entered the hospital, he came out quickly. Sure enough, I didn't find a suitable place, and there was no way for me and Tanzi to go to Li Yuan's house for one night. Fortunately, Li Yuan was going to help his cousin keep a wake for his uncle tonight, so he didn't come back to live, and Tanzi and I settled temporarily in his room.
"What do we do next?" Jar asked.
"I don't know, I don't think it's better for us to stay here for one night first, and then I'll ask him about it tomorrow after Li Yuan's uncle's funeral."
"That's all it takes......"
Tanzi and I stayed at Li Yuan's house. Dinner is a self-brought instant noodle. After dinner, I didn't have the habit of going to bed early, and Tanzi and I walked out of the house and walked around the village, which can be regarded as familiar with the living environment. When he went out, he brought a backpack with an incense burner with him. Although it is a little heavy, the three incense burners are all valuable goods, and they have some kind of connection with Xu Fu, so they must not be lost. So wherever he goes, the jar carries this bag with him.
At nine o'clock, we began to walk back, and when we passed by the door of Uncle Li Yuan's house, we deliberately glanced inside, and happened to see Li Yuan standing at the gate. As soon as I saw that there was no one inside, I walked in.
Li Yuan's uncle's mourning hall was placed in the courtyard, and a simple tent was set up, and the coffin was parked in the tent.
"It's all here, let's put incense on the old man!" Li Yuan beckoned me in.
When I think about it, death is great, and since they have all come to me, it is not good not to go to the pillar incense. So, Tanzi and I followed Li Yuan into the mourning hall. It seems that the economic conditions of Uncle Li Yuan's family are not very good, and the mourning hall is also relatively simple - there are several wreaths stacked outside the mourning hall, paper figures, cows and horses, and a pair of couplets hung at the entrance of the tent, with the words "The pine is long and crisp, and the ancient cypress is evergreen". In the mourning hall, there was an old wooden table with a portrait of his uncle, two white candles, an incense burner and a few handfuls of incense, and the rest was nothing. All that remained was the coffin on the ground, with a brazier in front of it and a pile of paper money to be burned.
I walked into the mourning hall with the altar, Li Yuan lit some paper money and put it in the brazier, took out six incense sticks from the table, lit them on the candle, fanned out the flames on it with his hands, and handed them to me and the altar respectively. I know this, when giving incense to the deceased, you can't blow out the flame on the incense with your mouth, because what comes out of the mouth is "yang", and the deceased is already a person in the yin world, and yin and yang cannot be mixed.
The two of us held incense in both hands, stuck it behind the incense burner, knelt on the ground and kowtowed four times before standing up.
After that, we followed Li Yuan out of the mourning hall and chatted a little far away from the mourning hall.
"Hey~ By the way, how did you come to us to collect wind?"
"Huh...... This ......"
When I was thinking about how to explain, Li Yuan took the words back: "Actually, it's right for you to come to us, although we don't have any wonders here, but we have a long history here!" ”
I laughed: "Who said before, 'there is no shop in front of the village', and said that if it weren't for the flat terrain of Huanghua and no high mountains, this would definitely become a remote mountainous area?" ”
Li Yuan laughed and said, "I'm self-humble, self-humble, do you understand?" Do you know that although our Xiushui Village is not well-known, there have been major events in history! ”
I snorted: "What can be a big deal in a small village?" ”
"I tell you, don't believe it!" Li Yuan said seriously.
I saw that Li Yuan's appearance really wasn't joking, so I asked, "You say I'll listen, what is going on?" ”
Before Li Yuan could speak, he heard a few crows crying in the trees outside the courtyard.
"Go, go, dead old eagle (crow), you know how to scream all day long!" Li Yuan opened his mouth and scolded. It's no wonder that Li Yuan is angry, the crow has always been regarded as an ominous bird in China, and everything related to it in ancient times was often not very beautiful. For example, if someone's family dies, loses money, or invites disaster, someone will definitely associate these with a few crows parked on the tree in front of this house two days ago and kept calling. One by one, they all passed to each other: "I knew it wasn't a good sign!" "When the old eagle enters the house, good things don't come!"
In addition to crows, only night owls (owls) can be compared to the birds. There is also something "night owl in the room called, there will be a disaster in the house!" Words like that. So for a long time, people didn't have a good impression of crows and owls, but they should be disgusted.
