Saying it may be that few people will believe it.

For as long as I can remember, I have not slept in a bed, but in an ancient coffin with an inner diameter of 57 centimeters wide at the front and bottom, 42 centimeters wide at the top, and 60 centimeters high, which is the standard size of a coffin.

Every day before going to bed, Grandpa would light three incense sticks in the west corner of the coffin, which was agarwood incense, which smelled very comfortable, just enough to cover the faint rancid smell inside the coffin.

It was fine until I was five years old, because I didn't know what a coffin was, and the coffin was covered by a white futon and wide enough to sleep, so I didn't think there was anything, anyway, it was just a place to sleep.

But after the age of five, the coffin was a little narrow, and I couldn't even turn over, so I couldn't help but ask my grandfather if I could sleep in the big bed like him.

Grandpa not only refused my request, but also beat me up and demanded that as long as I slept, I had to be in the coffin.

Rural superstition, grandpa is a well-known old superstition in the village, often go to people to preside over funerals and move graves, but also to show people feng shui, whether it is a yin house or a yang house, he reads, often chattering.

Before I was five years old, I didn't have a playmate, there was no one else in the family except my grandfather, I didn't even know that there was such a person in the village, I was sensible when I was a child, my grandfather didn't allow me to go out, I didn't cry or make trouble, sometimes I could play all afternoon with my grandfather's old pipe.

I don't know why, after all, I was still young at that time, and after being beaten by my grandfather, I became even more afraid to talk about sleeping in a big bed.

When I was six years old, I was about to start studying, and I came into contact with people other than my grandfather, but my grandfather never allowed me to bring other friends home to play, and when my friends came to me, they were never allowed to enter my room, in fact, there was nothing in my room, except for the coffin in the middle of the room.

At the age of six, it happened to be the first rebellious period after being sensible, and the more my grandfather wouldn't let me bring someone home to play, I just wanted to do it, and while my grandfather was out of the room, I brought a little friend into my room.

That little friend is very fat, everyone calls him fat, after entering my room, he saw the coffin at first sight, he exclaimed and said: "Zhao Mo, why is there a coffin in your room, what about your bed?" ”

I pointed to the coffin and said, "This is my bed." ”

The fat man ran away after listening to me, and said in his mouth: "You are a dead man, and only a dead person will sleep in a coffin." ”

This matter spread throughout the village in an instant, and the adults in the village didn't talk about anything, after all, they all knew who the grandfather was, but those children made a fuss, and the fat man's grandfather opened a coffin shop in the town, and they all said that it was a very unlucky thing, and I became an "ominous person".

Since then, I have not had a single friend, and when I went to school, my classmates were far away from me, and they all called me a "coffin ghost", and those adults also told their children not to play with me.

After this happened, my grandfather hung me up and beat me up, and I vaguely understood why he didn't let me take someone to my room, but I still didn't understand why he wanted me to sleep in the coffin all the time.

Children are not remembered to eat, after knowing that the coffin is for the dead to sleep in, I began to resist sleeping in the coffin, once in the middle of the night, I secretly ran to grandpa's room, was found by grandpa, that time, grandpa starved me for three days, and finally I finally compromised, no longer dare to disobey grandpa's will.

My grandfather often went out early and returned late, and my personality became more and more withdrawn, because I didn't have a single friend around me, and everyone else had dogs, pigs and chickens at home, and our family didn't have anything. Except for the occasional few mice, which are my playmates, and when I'm bored, I can only talk to them.

The solitude lasted until one summer night when he was six years old, and it was a hot night, the dogs were barking all over the village, and the adults in the village ran out with flashlights, with poles and hoes in their hands, as if they were catching a thief.

Children like to join in the fun, and I am no exception, but my grandfather said that I can't go out after the sun goes down, or I will be hungry for three more days, so I can only open the window and lie on the window to watch.

Before the people of the village had come to me, I saw a dark figure crawling up and slipping through the window into my room, and I could see clearly that it was a snake as thick as my arm, blue.

Not long after the snake slipped in, dozens of villagers ran to my door, and I quickly closed the window, because everyone in the village did not want to see me, and if they saw me, they would inevitably receive a lot of white eyes.

I turned my head and looked into the house, the blue snake was gone, there was no other exit from my room except this window, could the snake have crawled into my coffin?

I slowly walked to the coffin, and sure enough, I saw the snake in the coffin, the snake coiled into a swirl shape, just looking up at me, its eyes were also blue, like sapphires, very beautiful, there were six wounds on the body, scarlet blood oozed, the blue snake skin was dyed purple by red blood, it looked very pitiful.

"Are you alright?" I quickly climbed into the coffin and asked with concern as I lay inside.

As soon as I finished asking, my grandfather and a few other people pushed open the door of my room, and my grandfather asked, "Mozi, have you seen a big blue snake?" ”

As soon as the snake heard Grandpa's voice, it immediately got into the futon and seemed to be very scared.

I was moved by compassion, and I felt that the snake was very pitiful, and I had no toys, and I was tired of playing with those mice, and now that such a beautiful snake came to accompany me, where would I say it, in my heart, these animals are much friendlier than people.

I pretended to be asleep, got up from the coffin, rubbed my eyes and said, "Grandpa, I didn't see the snake." ”

Grandpa nodded, turned around and closed the door, and said, "Let's go look elsewhere, Mozi, you stay in the house and don't come out." ”

After my grandfather left, I breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the futon, and said to the snake, "It's okay, they're gone." ”

The snake seemed to be spiritual, poked out a snake head, and nodded at me, as if in gratitude.

"Go to sleep, and when your injuries are healed, I'll take you out secretly." I whispered, covering it with the futon again.

The people in the village looked for this snake for three days, no one knew that this snake was here, listening to the adults, the snake bit the dog of the second family, and also bit the fat man's cow, it is highly poisonous, it is a bad thing, it must be killed, and some people even say that the snake will become a sperm in seven years, and then it will kill everyone in the village.

Hearing the words 'hoodoo' strengthened my determination to protect the snake because I was also called a hoodoo by them.

Three days later, the snake's wound was completely healed, and when I told it to send it away, it got into the futon, and seemed very reluctant to go, and I got used to its presence for the past three days, and since it didn't want to go, I was naturally very happy, it was very beautiful, and there was no smell on it.

In order not to let my grandfather find out, I took advantage of my grandfather's absence, I made a small hole in the bottom of the coffin with a saw, the bottom of the coffin is still five centimeters away from the ground, when I am not there, it can hide under the coffin, even if my grandfather changes the bedding for me, I will not find it, and I, every day when I come home from school, I will catch some frogs or mice for it to eat, it eats very little, only once a week.

In this way, I slept with a snake for six whole years, every day when I came home from school and finished eating and writing homework, I would climb into the coffin for the first time, every time I climbed in, it would come out and play with me, its body was very comfortable, it was cold in summer, but it was warm in winter, and every night, I fell asleep with its body, very comfortable.

I was twelve years old that year, and I remember that it was the night before my birthday, and my grandfather came in as usual to ask for incense, but this time, he didn't just have three sticks of incense in his hand, but a large handful, in addition to the incense, he also carried a big bag of paper money, and I followed behind my grandfather, I don't know why my grandfather was suddenly so abnormal tonight.

Grandpa didn't say a word after coming in, lit the paper money and said: "Mozi, you burn paper here, the next seven nights are very critical, after peace, you can still live, if you can't live, that's fate." ”

"Grandpa, what do you mean?" I asked, confused.

Grandpa sighed and said, "You have grown so big, there are some things I can tell you, do you know why I let you sleep in the coffin all the time?" ”

I looked at my grandfather while burning paper money, waiting for him to continue, I asked many times when I was a child, and each time I was rewarded with a beating, this time, I didn't dare to ask again.

Grandpa said: "Your eight-character life grid is an extreme yin life grid, and this kind of life grid is one in ten thousand. ”

"Grandpa, what is the Extreme Yin Destiny?" I asked with a wink.

Grandpa said while lighting incense: "Life is divided into yin and yang, yang gathers people, yin recruits ghosts, extreme yin and extreme yang life, are the two extremes of numerology, the extreme yang life grid is the emperor's life, and the extreme yin life grid ......"

Grandpa stopped at this, and I looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Grandpa, how is the extreme yin personality." ”

Grandpa sighed and said: "The extreme yin life grid is the 'ghost life', and twelve is the number of manifest lives, after twelve o'clock tonight, you will be twelve years old, seven is the number of soul returns, your extreme yin life grid will slowly appear, and it will reach a peak after seven days, and when the time comes, the lonely souls and wild ghosts within a radius of a hundred miles will come to fight for your body." ”
