Chapter 17: The Wake

"Don't worry, I won't rely on your Yang family. After three days of filial piety, Old Man Yang! After the two of us, this is the end of this. "I wasn't interested in this family affair at all.

We are here to attend Mr. Yang's funeral, after all, he and my grandfather were good friends at the beginning, and it is normal to have this relationship to participate in this funeral.

I scanned the room full of people, and I couldn't help but feel a little funny, according to our rules here, the in-laws are to wear linen and filial piety, if I am the granddaughter-in-law of Mrs. Zhou, I have to kowtow to Old Man Yang and wear filial piety.

Thinking of this, I finally understood why they would withdraw at this time, if they didn't retreat, the Yang family would have to wear filial piety cloth for me.

If you wear a filial piety cloth and spread it, it will be the face of the Yang family that will be lost.

However, I did not have any loss, and even some relief in my heart, and I did not approve of this family affair from beginning to end.

It is impossible for my mother's temper to stay in the Yang family, and I will not let her be angry here, I have to go out with my mother, after going out.

I wanted to just go back, but after walking a short distance on the village road, my mother caught me and motioned for me to go back.

"It's okay if this family business is retired, I just go through the motions according to the rules set by your grandfather, but Old Man Yang was kind to our Chen family during his lifetime, and he has a lot of relationship with your grandfather. Send him to be buried, too! ”

"You're going to stay for two days! Send Master Yang on his last ride! My mother hesitated, then took out a string of copper coins tied with red thread from her pocket and handed it to me to hold properly.

"You are weak, don't be so lively. When Old Man Yang is buried, he will come back quickly! My mom sighed.

She must have learned this from her grandmother, who was very superstitious when she was alive in the past, and there were many taboos.

Before I went back, my mother whispered to me that I should always take the string of copper coins handed to me with me, which she took out of the incense burner and stained with the Bodhisattva's incense ashes.

I didn't want to stay in the Yang family for a moment, and I felt like my mother knew something in advance, thinking of what happened to me last night, could it be that my mother also encountered some strange things?

But she actually asked me to stay here for the funeral, thinking that it should be fine, otherwise my mother would not have left me here alone, and I am not the only one in the Yang family.

Taking a deep breath, I turned around and went to the courtyard of the Yang family.

As soon as it gets dark at night, the whole huge courtyard becomes deserted, I don't know if it's because of the weather, but at night I feel that it is very cold in the mourning hall, and the neighbors in the village are scattered.

There were some people in the courtyard when I went to sleep, and I deliberately found a red rope in the house to tie it to the broken window of the back room where I slept.

I wanted to find a mirror, but after thinking about it, I didn't do it, the mirror and the old scissors under the pillow can indeed ward off evil spirits, but it can only drive away some small characters, if you encounter something really fierce, it will annoy "them".

That's what my grandmother told me when I was a kid.

Because yesterday scared me a little, today I learned to be a good person, I didn't turn off the lights at night, and there were still people mourning in the mourning hall when I slept.

The mourning music was intermittent, and I felt that the melody sounded very weird, and after the mourning music I heard some people talking in the mourning hall vigil, probably because I felt that someone was outside, and I was not so afraid in my heart. Slowly, my eyes fell asleep in a daze.

However, because my nerves were in a tense state, my sleep was very light, and I didn't sleep long before I heard the sound of urns and urns, and when I opened my eyes, the room was quiet and a little weird.
