After a while, everyone got the funeral set ready. I caught a glimpse of the number still marked on the mourning clothes, so I went over and quietly asked the mourner, and he said that the old man of the Chen family would usually prepare things when he was half a hundred, which could be regarded as reducing the burden on his children and not paying for the funeral.

I was about to ask about other funeral customs, but Chen Ran pulled me over: "Brother Huai, why don't you go back to sleep first?" They have to keep vigil tonight, although it is not the turn of the two of us juniors, but it is good to be replaced. ”

I looked at my watch and it was only 10 o'clock, I definitely couldn't sleep when I went back at this time, instead of wanting to disturb my mind, it was better to accompany the rotten master here, which is also my filial piety as the Chen family.

I rejected Chen Ran, and when he saw that I was insistent, he shut up in amusement, and then shrugged his shoulders and walked away. Just as we were talking, they had already changed the mourning clothes for Mrs. Chen, this was the first time I had experienced white things, I couldn't help but be a little curious, but at the same time I was afraid, watching them put people in, I dared to approach.

When I was a child, my mother-in-law told me that children and younger people should not get too close to the deceased, nor should they go to the funeral home. Because the yang energy on their bodies is too heavy, they will not only affect the deceased, but also suffer bad luck themselves. When I was young, I naturally regarded this as a golden rule, so I only dared to stand on the lower left side of the coffin and look inside.

Due to the angle, I couldn't see his face clearly, only neatly dressed, and I knew no matter how inexperienced I was, I couldn't put a shadow in it.

I stuck at that point, I didn't dare to take a step forward, but then something hit my back, I was tiptoeing in, this thing hit, I stumbled, looking like I was about to plant over there, I came to a carp to fight, controlled the direction, but sat on the ground.

A foul word was stopped in my throat in time, and I patiently lowered my head to see: it was a bulging cloth bag. I checked it in my hand, it wasn't too heavy, it should be something lighter, so I decided to open it and take a look.

As soon as I opened the zipper, it was no longer in my hand in a blink of an eye, and when I looked up, it turned out that Chen Ran had snatched it. I was a little angry and yelled at him, "What the hell are you robbing!" ”

Chen Ran smiled: "Brother Huai, I couldn't help it just now, but I don't think I'm robbing, it's my thing." After speaking, I took out the private seal engraved with the word Chen Ran inside, and suddenly I lost my temper and bowed my hand to him, which was an apology for my behavior just now.

When I walked to the front hall, I saw that Master Fu and Uncle Yin were no longer kneeling. Instead, they were talking about something, and I was about to go over to ask, but my phone vibrate, and it was my dad who answered my call. After a brief exchange of words with him, I talked about my situation, and he told me something else.

"Huaizi, now your trip to Xi'an has been slaughtered, right?"

"Well, I guess it's going to be a while."

"That's right, go back to the house before going to Xi'an, I have something to hand over to you."

Dad said that he was going to go abroad, saying that there was something he needed to make sure personally, and I guessed it should be a business matter, so I didn't ask too much, I talked to him again, and then hung up the phone.

I looked at the sky, sorting out the recent events in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel that a lot of things had happened during this time, and we had a lot of clues, but I always felt that these things were too coincidental, but they were like fog that people couldn't really see, and I vaguely felt as if someone was secretly manipulating.

I hope it's my delusion! I consoled myself with this.

Time passed by, and in a blink of an eye the moon climbed up the treetops again. I took a special look at the time before I went out, it was only eight o'clock, and it was still a long time.

Under the moonlight, the hall is slightly hideous and frightening. I settled down at the door and walked in. Standing in front of the spirit, I first glanced around, but found no other people's voices, I felt a little unusual, so I continued to walk inside, but the sight almost drove me crazy.

The black cat from nowhere was wandering around the coffin, and I was alarmed that it would be a nuisance if it touched the corpse.

So I crept around behind him, ready to catch it. But it seemed to catch me first, and turned to stare at me with its yellow vertical pupils with a wary face. I stood still, stopped, and squinted at my next step.

The sound of footsteps in the distance made me scream badly, and the black cat was also attracted by the sound. I took advantage of the black cat's turn of the head, and quickly pounced on it, and it seemed that there was no way out of retreat when I forced it so much.

But it found my loophole, so it jumped up and jumped to the coffin. ", just a little almost!" I said in annoyance, angrily scratching at my hair.

The people who had just come in heard the noise and came here too. I looked at him, it was Chen Ran. He looked at me strangely and was about to speak, but I made a gesture to silence him. I could see that he didn't understand what I was doing, and I pointed to the cat again, and his reaction was the same as I had imagined, first surprised, then anxious.

He slowly approached me, put his ear to my ear and said, "Brother Huai, where did this cat come from?" It won't work, if ......" he didn't say anything more, but I knew what he was going to say next.

I rolled my eyes and had a new idea. Again I gestured to him for us to outflank each other, and he apparently understood what I meant, and walked in that direction, and I followed in his footsteps.

The black cat obviously understood the one-on-two situation, so he immediately arched his back, as if he was about to fight us at any time. Before we could approach again, it had already detected the enemy one step ahead.

He jumped to the other side of the coffin. I screamed badly and stopped all my movements and held my breath. The fact that the corpse didn't sit up right away made me feel a lot more relaxed.

"Bang............" The sound of breaking things was heard not far away. I didn't dare to distract myself and kept staring at the black cat. I saw that it shook its body a few times, and it was obviously frightened, and its center of gravity was almost unstable.

In the blink of an eye, it was no longer there. I watched it all with my eyes wide open, and there was little room for me to recover, and I was prepared for the worst. Sure enough, before I could get closer, the body was already up. "it!" I still couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Ran, who was not far away, was a little dumbfounded when he saw this scene. When I was a child, I heard the old people say that cats and dogs, animals with bioelectricity, once they touch a corpse, the corpse will inevitably be transformed.

Well, it's just one step away! I've heard a lot of anecdotes like this, but I've only heard about it, and I don't know how to crack it. Just when he was at a loss, the rotten master came!

At this time, the rotten master who walked in was like the Guanyin Bodhisattva who rescued the suffering, and I hurriedly went up to pull it to the coffin, explaining the situation to him as I walked.

The rotten master stared at me fiercely and said, "I've only been away for a while, and you guys are such a moth, see how I clean you two up in a while!" "I felt aggrieved, but I didn't dare to argue, so I could only laugh all the time.

The rotten master looked at the corpse and ordered, "Hurry up and find some straw or a broom!" It's too late to die! "I realized the seriousness of the situation and hurried out. Straw doesn't usually leave it at home, so I was smart enough to take a broom.

When I got back down the hall, I almost had a jaw dislocation. The coffin where the corpse didn't know how to get out chased around Fu Ye and Chen Ran. I was so frightened by the sight that I forgot what to do next.

The rotten master looked at me and didn't react, and yelled at me directly: "What the hell are you looking, throw the broom quickly!" "I came back to my senses, and when they ran away, I threw the broom at the corpse, only to see his hands pinching the broom fiercely, and after a while, the corpse collapsed.

The rest of the matter was handed over to someone to take over, and the rotten master made room to keep counting us, although the black cat I didn't put it in, but it was indeed because we ran around that it had a chance to take advantage of, and Chen Ran and I both lowered our heads and didn't dare to fight back.

In order to prevent the recurrence of the black cat incident, the rotten master sent additional manpower, and as soon as there were many people, the surroundings became a little noisy. I didn't like the hustle and bustle of the environment, so I said hello to the rotten master and turned around and went back to the room.
