Chapter 103: The Funeral Procession
In this way, in the evening, I was just about to take a break on the hot kang when I heard the sound of a rattle outside.
The jingle bell was very crisp, and before I could go to the window to see what was going on, the tabloid horse Huang Yingtong ran in.
"Sister Liu, come out and see, there is a funeral!" As he entered the house, Huang Yingtong shouted.
"Uh, look what you're doing, sleep!" I responded, taking off my shoes and intending to go to the pit.
"Come on, come on, lively, it's a white coffin, it's white, I've never seen it." Huang Yingtong stepped forward and pulled me.
"White coffin...... The white stubble is not colored in the coffin, it's normal, what's so strange. As soon as I heard a shout, I was dragged out of the door by Huang Yingtong to see.
And this look, I was shocked.
What's wrong?
The crowd that was carried in from outside the courtyard was not a white stubble coffin without coloring at all, but a large white coffin with white paint.
The four corners of the big white coffin are parallel and oblique, the coffin head is slightly upturned, and eight burly coffin bearers are dressed in tight-fitting mourning clothes, with a long strip of white cloth tied on their heads.
As soon as the north wind blows, it is whirring and flirting, and the overall atmosphere is very mournful!
And a dry-brown-skinned old man cranked a huge copper bell in front of him to lead the way, followed by more than a dozen people with filial piety all over his body.
One by one, they lowered their heads, looking extremely sad.
And what shocked me the most was that I had seen the old man who led the way with the rattle, no, to be exact, his old eyes with dried walnuts.
In the inn where he came, he was whipping people in the first place.
"Roar, roar, what is this, we are a store for the living, do not accept the dead, go out, go out, hurry up and carry me out!" As the coffin flickered into the courtyard, the proprietress ran out and waved her hand to carry the coffin out.
"When you go out, it's convenient, you only stay for half a night, and you will get up and hurry when you are in the coffin!" Watching Zhang grab and run out of the proprietress , the walnut-eyed old man stepped forward, took out something from his sleeve, and showed it to the proprietress .
"That's not going to work, it's okay to stay in a hotel, but this frustrating thing has to be parked in the backyard." The proprietress squinted and said in an undoubted tone.
"It's him, it's him!" I stared at the old man and screamed.
"Who, Sister Liu, who are you talking about?" The tabloid Ma Huang Yingtong asked me.
"The old man in the hotel, he beat the child and cried very badly, I went to stop it, but the innkeeper was stunned and said that there was no one living in the house." As Huang Yingtong asked, I whispered.
"Uh...... Is there such a thing? Huang Yingtong scratched his head and stared at the old man very carefully.
"It's a living person, Sister Liu, he's not a ghost." With a very careful look, Huang Yingtong affirmed.
"Okay, okay, then backyard, backyard, come, put the coffin in the backyard." At this time, the old man looked left and right, and this called the proprietress to lead the way, and the group ran to the backyard.
"There are weird, there are weird, I think why this old man will come here like us, not just for a funeral, Xiaobaoma, do you think there will be such a big formation in this deserted village, and who has to bury the dead at night, this is not in line with our northern folk customs!" As I watched the mighty procession heading towards the backyard, I turned around and went back to the house.
"This, this, this...... Maybe there is something very special that needs to be buried at night. ”
Huang Yingtong said and came back, looked at me again and said, "Sister Liu, don't think about it, this is easy to do, wait for me to turn into a secret look at the body in the coffin." ”
"Stop, you stop me, I'll just tell you one thing, since the accident of the third master, everyone who appears here is not simple, I don't want to be left with me." I looked at Huang Yingtong and shouted.
What do you love, at this time, I just need to see the third master.
As for life and death, it doesn't matter.
I still say the same thing, we must live together, and we must die together.
Even if I can't be in the same hole, I will die in the arms of the third master!
"Well, Sister Liu, I remember, then you have a good rest, I'll go back." Listening to my serious words, Huang Yingtong got up and walked out.
I just lay down and rested, and thought a lot in a daze.
Hu Tianhei didn't come back, which means that he hasn't found Zhou Hao yet.
And Hu Yumei disappeared without a trace.
I want to be able to protect me by my side at this time, and only Mrs. Chang San is left, and I believe that the old woman has been following us incognito.
"Third master, third master, wait for me, Hongliu is here, your Liu'er is here, I believe we will see you soon!" After thinking about it for a long time, I burst into tears.
I think the third master, I really want to, this kind of unforgettable thoughts, as well as incomparably heart-burning worries, tortured me to the point that I am skinny, and I can't be at peace for a moment!
"Sister Liu, Sister Liu, wake up, hurry up, something is wrong, something is wrong!" And as I didn't know how long it took to fall asleep, the tabloid horse Huang Yingtong stood on the ground above my head and pulled me to scream.
"You...... Why did you run to the house in the middle of the night? I got up with a startled cry and reached for the rope.
"Don't ...... Sister Liu, you really have to get up, the white coffin is gone, we have to follow, there is a cat greasy, it is definitely a big cat greasy, whether it is good or not, it has something to do with our third master! As I got up to pull the lantern rope in shock, Huang Yingtong stopped.
"Eh, it has something to do with the third master, what do you say?" As soon as I heard that I stopped, I got up in the dark and got dressed.
"What do you think this is?"
And as I got dressed in the dark, Huang Yingtong struck a match and borrowed a little light to show me the object in his hand.
"Pipe, third master golden pipe?"
As soon as I saw the scream, I snatched the pipe and held it in my arms.
"Yes, in the hand of the old man who rattled the bell, he also swaggered and took it out, I recognized it at a glance as the third master's object, and stole it back while he was not paying attention." Huang Yingtong blew out the matchstick in his hand and said.
"Third master, third master...... No, you have to follow and take a look, won't there be our third master in the coffin? "As soon as I heard that there were six gods and no masters, I didn't know why I put on my clothes and ran out of my shoes.
"Don't be in a hurry, they just left, I saw it, they went to the direction of Wuzhi Mountain, Sister Liu, you wear more, it's cold on the mountain at night!" The tabloid horse Huang Yingtong grabbed a big quilt and draped it, and the two of us went out and went straight to the direction of Wuzhi Mountain to chase.
That is, after chasing for more than ten minutes, I saw it from afar.
The funeral procession played the lantern and swayed all the way to the direction of Wuzhi Mountain.
"Quack quack...... It's so lively, are you also going to carry the corpse, there are many, many of them, you can't finish reciting them, don't worry, don't worry......"
And with me and Huang Yingtong following from a distance, accompanied by a creaking sound of snow stomping, a thin figure wearing a dogskin hat rushed over from behind.
There was a strange smile in his mouth, and he dropped a sentence inexplicably and went back.
"Hold him down, lest any bad things happen!" When I saw it, I shouted for Huang Yingtong to stop him.
As soon as I spoke, I immediately recognized this person as Li Huizhen's obscene husband, the four lepers.
If he is made crazy and runs over and shouts, Huang Yingtong and I will have to be exposed.
It's better not to be alarmed until things are completely clear.
One is that Huang Yingtong and I are weak, and if we really want to fight, there are more than 20 people on the other side, and we may not be able to fight.
Don't look at Huang Yingtong as a cultivator, but as the saying goes, everything has everything, and the old man with the rattle is by no means a vegetarian.
If a few runes are photographed, it is estimated that Huang Yingtong will not be good!
"Good!"
Huang Yingtong agreed to make a move and beat the four lepers down.
"You can't freeze to death if you put it here?" As he stretched out his hand to knock the four lepers down, Huang Yingtong looked at me and said.
"You send him back, and I'll follow." I said as soon as I heard it.
"This ...... Okay, I'll try to go back as quickly as possible, Sister Liu, you follow, don't get lost at night! When Huang Yingtong heard this, he reluctantly told me, picked up the four leprosy and ran quickly.
In this way, I was left alone, and I kept following me for seven or eight miles in the cold wind, and I looked back several times, but I didn't see the shadow of the yellow warbler.
"Dizzy, can't you have an accident too?"
With such a long time not seeing Huang Yingtong come back, I was full of weakness and bottomless.
"Horn Horn Horn!
And it was also when I continued to follow the coffin carrying team in front of me with no bottom in my heart, that a very crisp whipping sound suddenly sounded in the snow behind me.
"Huh?"
I turned around with a startled cry and saw two people coming in the snow.
It's jumping up and down, and it's very abnormal in action......
