Chapter Eighty-Six: A Ghost Story in the Middle of the Night
I slept very well this night, and when I woke up, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the people who came to mourn on the first day of Boss Li were almost gone, and Boss Li was tired enough after standing outside for a day. I yawned and walked out of the side hall and saw Boss Li resting on a chair in the mourning hall.
I lit a cigarette and leaned over: "Boss Li, I see you're quite tired." Boss Li nodded: "It's really tiring." Alas, I didn't know that so many people came out there, and people I didn't usually have much contact with or even met came. Boss Li said helplessly.
I can completely understand his current mood, and I am probably not very happy that anyone's funeral has been treated as a social meeting. "Then why do you have to get it for seven days?" I asked, puzzled.
Boss Li thought for a moment and replied to me: "Actually, I was also preparing to end in one day at the beginning, but on the day my daughter died, I met a person, this person is not very old, he came up and asked me if there was an accident at home, I was in a very bad mood and ignored him, but then he gave me a lot of unbelievable things, and then told me that I was going to have a catastrophe in the second half of my life, and I had to let my daughter's Dharma work be carried out for seven days, and I asked me to ask you to do this Dharma service." ”
Boss Li's words made me really confused by the second monk, alone? Let you go to us?? And said it had to be seven days? Are you sure this guy didn't come out of some neurological hospital to trick you?
"Boss Li, you said that he made you see a lot of unbelievable things? Can you be specific? "I smoked a cigarette and looked at the boss here." Sorry, no. Boss Li didn't say much, but got up and left the mourning hall. Mr. Li will leave it to you here. ”
Boss Li left the mourning hall abruptly, and just when I was standing in place and wondering, I saw Zhang Mu appear behind me without knowing when.
"What do you think?" Zhang Mu patted me on the shoulder. I glanced back at him: "Did you hear Boss Li's words?" Zhang Mu nodded: "I heard it, I'm also a little curious about what kind of person this is." ”
There was no one else in the mourning hall except for the two of us, and I didn't have any scruples at this time, so I said directly to Zhang Mu: "Why do I think the two of us are calculating?" You said that the boss here is so desperate to find us, and let us do it for seven days, don't tell me you don't know about the first seven. ”
Zhang Mu looked at me and lit a cigarette for himself and said, "Of course I know, I originally thought it was just that his family had some special reason to put it for seven days, but if I look at it this way, I feel that someone did it on purpose." ”
It seems that Zhang Mu's thoughts are the same as mine this time, and after thinking about it, I walked directly to the position of the coffin in the middle of the mourning hall, and carefully looked at the corpse inside. "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with the corpse? Zhang Mu saw that I was looking seriously, so he also came over to take a look.
I shook my head: "There's no problem, it's just that I'm a little strange, this Boss Li hasn't said how his daughter died until now, so I came to take a look." Zhang Mu thought for a while and said: "It seems that this is indeed the case, Boss Li has never said why his daughter died, which is quite strange." ”
"Brother Zhang, let's not think about it here, I always feel that if there is really a problem, something will happen tonight, and it must be on the corpse!" I said categorically after looking at the corpse.
"Li Hao, why are you so sure that something will happen?" Zhang Mu asked puzzled. "Feel!" I didn't explain much about it, except for a feeling that the night shouldn't be too peaceful.
Oh, if it's not peaceful, it's not peaceful, what's the matter! Have I experienced less ordinary things? Zhang Mu and I took two bottles of liquor from the side hall, and then took some cold dishes such as roast chicken, beef, pig ears, red sausages, etc., and sat down in the mourning hall with a piece of Chinese to prepare to start our vigil.
The two of us sat in front of the offering table, drinking and eating, chatting, and didn't pay attention to the vigil at all, in fact, this is not our disrespect for the dead, originally at this time, the soul does not know that he is dead, and when he still knows who he is, you respect a fart.
We hadn't drunk much, though, and I was mostly on my toes. Drinking and drinking, Zhang Mu probably felt bored, so he said to me while eating: "Li Hao, let me tell you a story about the vigil, which was told to me by my old man." "Anyway, if I'm idle, I'll be idle, so I agreed.
Zhang Mu cleared his throat and began to say in a deep voice: "In the past, there was a family, an elder in this family passed away, the old man died at the age of eighty, this should belong to the joy of mourning, there is no special sadness in the family, just prepare to bury the old man, at that time there was no cremation, basically everyone is buried, so it is necessary to use a coffin to put the dead inside, let the family keep watch for a night, this is commonly known as the wake of the soul, And the story I'm going to tell happened on the night of the vigil. ”
"Hurry up! I still don't know what a wake? I lit a cigarette and leaned back in my chair and said lightly. Well, listen slowly, the family has a total of three children, two sons and a daughter, at night it is these two boys guarding the old man's body, the first half of the night is nothing, until the second half of the night, the clouds slowly cover the moon, the house in the lamp becomes flickering and dimming, at this time the two people heard a little sound, a kind of coffin nails scratching the coffin board. Zhang Mu's voice became deeper and lower.
At this time, it was basically late at night, and there was no moon in the wind outside, so I was happy to hear a ghost story. "What about the back? Say it! "I saw that Zhang Mu was stuck from here, and then urged. I saw Zhang Muzhi looking behind me in a daze, and the expression on his face became very strange: "Li, Li Hao!" Look at that ever-bright lamp! "My heart thumped! It can't be such a coincidence!
So I slowly looked back in the direction of the offering table with apprehension in my heart. "Ahh Zhang Mu screamed behind my back! This sound scared me straight from the chair to the bottom of the chair. "Hahahaha! it! I'm laughing to death! Ha ha! Zhang Mu looked at my reflection and laughed.
I'm Nima! This idiot was waiting here to scare me, and he knew that we people were basically not scared by ghost stories, so he thought about it, and he was fucking convinced.
"I'll fuck you uncle! Zhang Mu, you are cheap! "Just kidding, just kidding." Zhang Mu said with a smile after pulling me up from the ground.
When I just wanted to scold Zhang Mu for a few words, a gust of wind blew, and the ever-bright lamp in the mourning hall really went out!
