Chapter 001: Taishan Stone Pressed Coffin
I grew up in a remote mountainous area, and at that time, I was generally poor.
People in the mountains rely on the mountains to eat the mountains.
We all know that in the mountains and dense forests, there is almost everything, and there are inexhaustible mountain delicacies and wild games, Ganoderma lucidum and yams.
However, there are many deep mountains and dense forests, and there is also a disadvantage, that is, it is very easy to make trouble in the mountains, and evil tricks come out.
There are so many of these things in our place that if you add a few pieces, I'm afraid a big basket won't fit it.
Among them, two are the most famous, and almost everyone in our local area knows about them.
One is called "White Coffin Puller", and the other is called "Rolling Corpse Bridge".
It is said that these two events were linked together, and before the liberation, there was a lot of trouble, and there was no peace, and the evil door was very evil.
"White coffin pulls people" refers to the burial slope.
It is said that if you are unlucky to walk down the burial slope at night, you will run into a woman who cannot see her face.
She dragged a strange white coffin behind her back, and, as if she was crying, kept chanting your name!
Once the woman who was pulled in the coffin was named, that person would definitely die.
And the "Rolling Corpse Bridge" is talking about a shallow river.
Rolling corpse bridge on the shallow river, don't look at it called the shallow river, the water is not shallow at all, it is said that falling from the bridge, no matter how good the water is, you don't want to swim up again!
Moreover, none of the drowned ones were able to catch the corpses!
The older generation said that there were water ghosts under the rolling corpse bridge.
As long as you fall off the bridge, even if the Da Luo Immortal comes, it won't be used.
Whether this rolling corpse bridge is true or not, let's not say,
But the white coffin pulls people, and it is absolutely real......
Because, I've encountered the big white coffin...
The specific ins and outs of the whole thing have to start with me giving people a coffin.
That night, I was lying in the house and sleeping in a daze, and Brother Zhang hurriedly ran over and knocked on the door and said that Ma Daniu from the neighboring village was dead, and the Ma family urged to let the seven-foot-three coffin be sent overnight!
It's not uncommon to send a coffin or something in the middle of the night, but he Ma Da Niu loaded a seven-foot-3 coffin, and I laughed when I heard it: "His three-inch size is still a seven-foot-3 coffin?" ”
As the saying goes, there is an old saying in the coffin line, "Is six feet six enough?" Seven feet three walk all over the sky! ”
I know that Ma Daniu, less than 1.6 meters tall, still hunched back, can't take out his appearance, in his early thirties and still playing single, just that three inches...... A six-foot-six coffin is more than enough, so why bother getting a seven-foot-three!
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, his family is not afraid of spending money, we are also afraid of money being hot!" Third Brother Zhang jokingly pulled me up and ran to the carpenter's shop!
Speaking of which, I am half a carpenter, and I have been learning the craft from Carpenter Zhang in the village.
Later, my master Zhang Carpenter fell ill, and after his death, nothing remained, leaving only a carpenter shop and passing it on to Zhang Sange.
I followed Brother Zhang to earn food, and we are also teachers and friends, and we are also in harmony!
The coffin was loaded onto the donkey cart, and we hurried to the other end of the neighboring village, over two or three slopes, and by the time we delivered the coffin to Ma Daniu's house, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
Ma Da Niu and his father came out in a hurry, and beckoned from afar, "Oh, fortunately, your brothers and sisters are really here in time, otherwise they won't be buried tonight." ”
When I heard it, I was stunned, "It's so urgent, and I'll be buried at night?" ”
Ma Da Niu and his father squeaked and whined, as if there was something unspeakable.
Third Brother Zhang glared at me, I understand what it means, let me not ask more, what we earn is coffin money, and the master will do what he says!
Father Ma cried with a sad face, and then he was busy beckoning people to the funeral, and there were not many people at night, so my third brother and I also helped to help and followed up the mourning hall together.
Ma Da Niu's mourning hall is very small, and it looks like it is done in a hurry, a coffin is placed in the hall, in addition to some incense, candles, paper money, and there are three virgin paper ties standing in the corner of the wall.
I wondered how it was all virgins.
Although the Ma family is a little poor, Daddy Ma is just this one son, why is the funeral so shabby?
The four gentlemen carried the corpse into the burial, Ma Da Niu's height of one meter and five was even more shrunken after death, the shroud was much wider, and a piece of white linen cloth was covered on the body, and the face could not be seen!
If you want to say that we are carpenters and deliver coffins, the dead people we see can't be counted with their hands and feet, and we are not scared, but the third brother has been taking care of me, he raised his head and asked me to lift my feet.
Ma Da Niu's body of more than one meter and a half was not heavy, and the four of us lifted it lightly, but when we entered the coffin, the third brother suddenly trembled under his hand and almost dropped the body to the ground!
Fortunately, the seven-foot-three coffin was big enough, and Ma Da Niu's body fell safely in the coffin.
I looked at the third brother in shock, many years of craftsmen, the third brother has never made such a mistake.
"It's okay, it's empty!"
The third brother smiled awkwardly at me.
After the funeral, the third brother only stood for a while, and suddenly as if he remembered something urgent, he pulled me and walked outside, and even said that the coffin money would be settled in a few days!
I saw that the third brother's face was a little uncertain, and I couldn't help but feel even more inexplicable, but I still didn't say anything.
Along the way, the third brother didn't say anything, and dragged me directly to the mouth of the alley, and waited for the two of us to go straight to the mouth of the alley.
The third brother's eyes widened, staring at a corner of the wall opposite the mouth of the alley for a long time, and his mouth was slightly twitching.
When I looked at him like this, I couldn't help but wonder, because it was rare to see the third brother like this.
So I also looked in the direction he was looking, and then I found that the corner of the alley seemed to have been dug up something, and the soil on the ground was still very fresh, it should have been dug for a long time.
I thought to myself, the third brother has nothing to do and pulled me here to look at the corner, there must be something wrong inside.
I was about to open my mouth to ask the third brother what was going on, why did he stare at the corner of the wall in a daze?
But before I could open my mouth to ask, I was grabbed by the third brother and dragged to the donkey cart.
"Third brother, what's wrong with you today?"
I couldn't help it, and asked the third brother with a face full of doubts.
He came and went, and I was almost blinded.
The third brother frowned, pulled me into the donkey cart, and said in a low voice: "Lu Yuan, Ma Da Niu died uncleanly, let's hurry back!" ”
I was immediately stunned in my heart, and hurriedly asked him, "Third brother, how do you know that Ma Da Niu is not clean when he dies?" ”
If you don't die clean, according to our place, that's a bad thing!
The third brother narrowed his eyes and said: "Lu Yuan, you don't know, a stone was allocated to the wall opposite the mouth of the alley before, I don't know if my father told you before, there are usually five words written on the stone, 'Taishan stone dare to be'!" It can ward off evil and drive away disasters. ”
'Tarzan stone dare to be'? I was almost stunned, "What does this have to do with Ma Da Niu's unclean death?" ”
The third brother didn't care that I couldn't figure it out, and then said, "I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I see that the stone is gone, and I understand." ”
I looked at the third brother in a daze and asked him, "What do you understand?" ”
"You don't know, Ma Da Niu used a seven-foot-three coffin, obviously so that the coffin could put 'Taishan Stone' in the coffin, and the purpose was to suppress his soul!"
As he spoke, the third brother paused, and his face sank again, "When I carried the corpse before, I found that Ma Da Niu looked dead, with his mouth wide open, his brows tightly locked, and his hideous face was very abnormal, obviously scared to death!" It must have touched something unclean! ”
I was dumbfounded, and it took me half a day to let out a breath. No wonder the third brother was weird tonight, it turned out that he had found some clues.
To say that in our place, it is not uncommon to hit an evil, whether you can save the life or not depends entirely on your own life.
However, what the third brother said is indeed very reasonable, Ma Da Niu does seem to have died uncleanly, otherwise the Ma family would not have been idle and had nothing to do, and these things came out?
Besides, my master also said before his death that those who die unclean will either be buried early or late.
The Ma family is going to bury people tonight, and there is obviously a cat in it!
Anyway, it's easy to say, it's still the same old saying, it's better to believe it than not to believe it.
Since the third brother let him withdraw quickly, then I still have a fart, so I hurriedly drove the donkey cart with the third brother out of the Ma family's compound.
Let's be a carpenter, although we don't coax ordinary evil things, but we can't always hit it hard, it's a stupid thing that two fools can do without brains.
The two of us hurried out, and because we were in a hurry, when we got out of the alley, the donkey cart hit something at the end of the cold end.
