Chapter 8: The Dead Buried Alive (Part II)
After finishing the incense, Uncle Lin still had something to do, so he walked away, and the Taoist priest came forward at this time, and the fake appearance was also on the three-pillar fragrance.
Looking at Mother Lin's grave, although I had countless questions in my heart, I also knew that this was not the time to ask these questions, but I was just comforting Lin Qiao'er on the side. Sister Qiao'er was very surprised by our arrival, but she was undoubtedly happy and comforted in her heart.
The sky gradually darkened, and we accompanied Lin Qiaoer to burn ingots and paper money in front of the grave, while Uncle Lin and his gang set up an incense case in front of the grave, which was exactly the same as the altar in the movie. I looked speechlessly at the eight-figure beard in the Taoist robe with a mahogany sword raised in front of the altar and hummed some messy things in a strange way, just like a strengthened version of the dancing god.
I turned my head to look at the Taoist priest, and found that this guy's face was almost dripping with water, and his teeth were clucking, so he almost started to beat people directly.
I wondered, people have already been buried, why do you still ask a Taoist priest to do it? And this invitation is still a fake, so he lowered his voice and asked Lin Qiao'er: "Sister Qiao'er, what's going on?" ”
Lin Qiao'er had already found that the Taoist priest's expression was wrong, and she knew the Taoist priest's ability, so she said, "Mom, these days...... I was not happy, uncle, they asked my husband to come and see, and my husband said that my mother couldn't let go of my brother and me, so she refused to leave......"
"So you hired a liar to do it?" The Taoist priest said politely at all, and his voice was a little louder, so that Lin Qiao'er's younger brother on the side could hear it. He looked up at the Taoist priest in surprise, Brother Lin and I knew each other, and hurriedly explained: "This guy is talking nonsense, don't care!" ”
However, unexpectedly, Brother Lin didn't react much, but glanced at the mustache who was dancing with disdain, and said, "It's okay, he was right, he was a liar." ”
The Taoist priest and I were both stunned, and said in our hearts how he knew, and immediately heard him say again: "What Taoist priests, they are all liars who pretend to be gods and ghosts, where do ghosts come from in this world?" It's the uncle, they're too superstitious. ”
The Taoist priest and I looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but Lin Qiao'er frowned, we have experienced the matter of Fengyang together, she has believed in these things, but now that she heard that the Taoist priest said that he was a liar, she suddenly became a little angry.
The Taoist priest was also angry, but angry was angry, and on this occasion, it was not suitable to make trouble, so the Taoist priest and Lin Qiao'er were silent. After the ritual was done, it was completely dark, but there were more than 30 people here, and we were not too afraid, and when we returned to the village, Uncle Lin and a group of elders went to entertain the Bazihu, and the Taoist priest and I returned to Lin Qiaoer's house. However, the Taoist priest thought left and right, and the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became, saying that he had to teach the liar some lessons, so he didn't even sit on the hot ass, and went out again.
I couldn't stop him, so I could only tell him not to make trouble.
After returning home, Lin Qiao'er's mood was also better, and she gradually talked more, and she began to ask me some questions, such as how did I get here?
I replied that after we went back last night, I saw that you hadn't come back yet, and the phone couldn't get through, and I thought about it for half a month, and I was worried that something would happen to you, so I rushed over today. She was so moved by my answer that she hugged me and cried out very sadly, as if all the grievances hidden in her heart had burst at once. I sighed and hugged her tightly, not knowing what to say, so I could only let her hold it to vent the grievances and sorrows in my heart.
After a long time, her crying finally stopped, and my shoulders were gloriously wet with tears. Lin Qiao'er let go of me embarrassedly, and for a moment she seemed to suddenly remember something, and exclaimed: "Ah, brother......" She hurriedly went to see Brother Lin beside her, but she didn't find anyone, I smiled awkwardly and said, "When you cried, he was already gone." ”
"Oh!" As she spoke, she rubbed her red and swollen eyes. Looking at her crying little face, I felt a pang in my heart, and I didn't know how much she cried during this time, it was really embarrassing for her.
I took a tissue from the table to help her wipe away her tears, although we have known each other over the years, it was the first time that such an intimate gesture had taken place, and she was very embarrassed. After crying and venting, we started to get down to business.
Lin Qiaoer told me that she didn't know where she threw her mobile phone when she was busy with Lin's mother's funeral two days ago, and she couldn't find it, otherwise she would have called me earlier. I suddenly thought in my heart, no wonder I kept turning off the phone when I called it, maybe I threw it somewhere and turned it off by myself when I ran out of power.
Saying that, Lin Qiaoer asked me again how the curse was, I told her what happened when I went home this time, of course, I just said it roughly, but the specific dangers encountered were not mentioned at all, when she heard that the curse had been suppressed, there would be no danger for the time being, she was very happy.
I remembered that weird phone call last night, so I asked her, "Sister Qiao'er, did you call me last night?" ”
She was surprised and stared at me with wide red eyes: "No, didn't I tell you, I lost my phone." ”
I looked at Lin Qiaoer's expression and knew that it was impossible for her to lie to me, and with the current situation in her family, it was even more impossible for her to play a prank, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in my heart.
"What the hell is going on? What phone, is someone using my phone to call you? ”
"It's not!" I shook my head with a wry smile and told her about the phone call I received from Lin's mother last night, and her face suddenly lost blood and turned white.
Seeing her reaction, my heart moved, and I said that there was something inside, so I hurriedly asked, "What, is something wrong?" ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door downstairs, we stopped talking, I looked down through the window, and saw that it was the Taoist priest who knocked on the door, and this guy had returned.
The Taoist priest was in a very good mood, I don't know where to get a big yellow bag on his back, bulging, humming a little song in his mouth, sitting on the Taoist sofa, and putting the backpack on the coffee table in front of him. I was puzzled, I didn't know what was inside, I reached out and untied the cloth bag, and there was a bang, and the mahogany sword, compass, gossip mirror and other messy things scattered on the table.
My eyes widened and I cast a questioning glance at the priest. The Taoist priest smiled and explained: "This is from the eight-character Hu, although that guy is a guy, but these things on his body are real guys, the Taoist suspects that he has found a certain hidden master in Maoshan Retreat Cave Mansion, this is how to get these treasures, these things of his mother are in his hands, and the Taoist takes pity on the jade and accepts it." ”
"Damn, you robbed him?"
The Taoist priest smiled, "That's not true, but well, it's a beating, who let that bastard ruin the reputation of the Daomen, but these things were bought by the Taoist master seriously." ”
I rolled my eyes, knowing that it must not be that simple, but I didn't bother to bother with it, anyway, the mustache was a liar, and he deserved to be beaten. I looked at Lin Qiao'er and asked the question again.
Maybe it was because the Taoist priest was by his side, Lin Qiao'er was not so scared this time, her face was a little better, and she told her about the strange things that had happened recently.
It turned out that Mother Lin had been buried ten days ago, according to the custom here, people need to stay in the lobby for seven days after death, and can only be buried on the seventh day, but Mother Lin was buried in a hurry on the fifth day, and the reason for this was caused by the strange thing that happened.
Mother Lin died suddenly, she was not sick or poisoned, so she left so abruptly. When she was found by her neighbors, Lin's mother was lying by the faucet in the yard, her body was already stiff, and soon, relatives and friends who could be called in the village rushed over and also notified the police station, but this was not a murder, the police left quickly, and the relatives began to prepare for the aftermath, and at the same time notified Brother Lin and Lin Qiaoer.
After the two went home to say goodbye to Lin's mother, they put the coffin in the funeral, arranged the mourning hall, notified relatives and friends, and under the abbot of the uncle and other relatives, the funeral was carried out in an orderly manner.
Just as people were immersed in this sudden grief, something strange happened.
According to custom, Lin Qiaoer and Brother Lin need to keep filial piety for seven days, and during the seven days, they must sleep by the coffin, eat by the coffin, and they can't sleep when they sleep, they must leave one or two people to watch on the side, so as to prevent the black cat from approaching the coffin and causing the corpse to be defrauded.
The two sisters and brothers and the brothers and sisters of the uncle's family accompanied the wake, but they were not too afraid, but at about twelve o'clock the next night, Brother Lin and several cousins kept vigil, just as Lin Qiaoer was just about to rest, but was shocked to find a black cat squatting on the top of the coffin, the black cat's glowing eyes stared straight at Lin Qiaoer, she was frightened, but immediately thought that the black cat could not be close to the coffin, and hurriedly drove away. At this time, Brother Lin and others outside the mourning hall rushed in when they heard the movement and helped drive the black cat away, and the matter calmed down, but Lin Qiaoer always had a bad premonition in her heart.
She lay on the floor next to the coffin, and soon fell asleep, and was in a daze, when suddenly there was a sound of knocking on the coffin board from the coffin. Lin Qiao'er woke up, but the sound stopped, and just when she thought it was a dream she had and was about to continue sleeping, there was a strange sound in the coffin again.
Ulla...... Ulla......
The sound was very harsh, like the sound of a cat scratching the wooden board with its paws, and Lin Qiaoer was stunned on the spot.
