Chapter 17 Going out and landing
In the face of the third uncle's words, I became more and more embarrassed, and I didn't know what to do.
The third uncle kept repeating in my ear, but I didn't know how to speak.
Suddenly, I heard my grandmother calling me, and I hurriedly turned around to ask her opinion.
"Jiujiao, if you're sleepy, go back to your room and sleep!"
"Grandma, the third uncle asked me to help take care of Minmin, I ......"
"Jiujiao, you just dreamed! Is the third child lying in the coffin? ”
After listening to my grandmother's words, I was stunned again, and when I looked back, sure enough, the lid of the third uncle's coffin was well covered, and there was no third uncle at all.
"Jiujiao, you're tired, you fell asleep just now, you go back to your room and sleep for a while! It's going to be dawn soon, and this grandma just needs to keep watch. ”
I was getting more and more confused, I was thinking about things just now, when did I fall asleep?
I glanced out the door, and the sky was already white, and it was indeed almost dawn.
"Jiujiao, there have been too many things in the past two days, you are just too tired, you can go back and rest for a while!"
I couldn't figure it out, so in the end I could only follow my grandmother's words and comfort myself that I was just too tired and fell asleep.
It was about to dawn, so there shouldn't be any problems, so I didn't excuse myself and went into the room.
But as soon as I entered the room, I found that Min Min had not woken up yet, and was sleeping soundly on the kang.
I was stunned, the other room was already full of Eight Immortals and the village chief, and now there is a place in this room.
But if I really sleep here, won't I sleep with Minmin?
I unconsciously thought of what the third uncle told me in my dream just now, and my face became hot.
"Jiujiao, why are you standing here, let's sleep on the kang on the slippers!"
I was worried about me, and my grandmother walked in again.
I still didn't move, and I always felt that it was not good.
Grandma sensed my thoughts and said, "It's okay, you're all children, it's okay to sleep in your clothes."
I was suddenly a little embarrassed, anyway, everyone was wearing clothes, and they didn't do anything, and I was still thinking about something.
Then I took off my shoes and went to the kang to rest.
When I woke up again, I was woken up by the sound of talking outside, and when I opened my eyes, I looked to the side, and Min Min was no longer there.
Then I put on my shoes and walked out of the room, and it turned out that the Eight Immortals were telling the villagers about the events of last night.
The village chief came to me and told me that he had asked people to go to the village to check and that no one had an accident last night.
I'm even more relieved, as long as I don't die again, everything will be fine.
I didn't sleep well this night, and after a meal, it was time for the funeral.
The village chief had already asked the people to prepare everything, and I took the rooster and wiped my neck, bled and put it on the coffin.
I suffered the pain of pressing the coffin last time, and I won't do it again until I have no choice but to do it in the future.
With the faucet pressing the coffin, I don't think there should be any more problems, and sure enough, the eight immortals easily lifted the third uncle up.
I burned incense, lit paper, and started walking.
Although the third uncle had a corpse yesterday, as long as he didn't hurt anyone, everything was easy to say.
I chanted a few trumpets to make way for the spirits and spirits to give way, so as not to cause another accident.
But as soon as I left the door, before I could finish shouting my order, a loud crash sounded behind me, followed by the exclamations of the villagers.
I hurriedly looked back, and it turned out that the rope that bound the coffin had broken, and the coffin had fallen to the ground.
The village chief hurriedly walked up to me, his face full of worry.
"The boss of the Guan family, is this the third child unwilling to go? Or was it his own choice? ”
There is also a saying that the coffin falls to the ground, and since ancient times, there has been a saying that Zhuge Liang chose a hole for himself.
It is rumored that before Zhuge Liang died, he warned the people who helped him with the funeral, let the eight immortals carry him all the way to the south, and when his coffin landed, he would be buried there, and there was no need to raise a monument, and future generations would not need to pay tribute.
Some people say that this is Zhuge Liang's order to prevent tomb robbers from targeting his Yin House, afraid that he will not be able to sleep peacefully after his death.
Such a statement can't be wrong, but sensible people know that some people are virtuous before they are born, and they have spirits to help them choose acupoints after death, and Zhuge Liang is the same.
The third uncle's character is naturally not said, and it is normal to have a spirit after death, but now that he has landed just after leaving the house, it is indeed a little unspeakable.
In this way, there is another possibility, that is, the third uncle is reluctant to leave home.
I frowned, these two statements of the village chief, those who know and understand things know, but there is another one that few people know.
If it is said that after a person dies, the family house is uneasy, and the coffin falls to the ground at the door during the funeral, it means that the family will soon die again.
I unconsciously glanced at Min Min, yesterday the third uncle got up the corpse, naturally the house was uneasy, and now that the coffin has landed, Min Min is left in the house, could it be that Min Min is going to have an accident?
I didn't dare to tell you this statement, so I appeased everyone, but the third uncle was reluctant, so he rearranged the coffin.
This time, I wrapped the coffin with my corpse rope, and then put the rope back on, inserted the joy bar, and pressed the dragon head again.
Ready, the Eight Immortals were ready to lift the coffin, but I stopped them.
"Village Chief, help get a shovel!"
The village chief looked at me with a puzzled face, but he didn't say anything, and went to get a shovel.
The shovel was brought, and I picked a handful of soil at the bottom of the coffin and pressed it against the coffin.
This is what I saw in my grandfather's notes, if the coffin goes out and lands, press the soil that falls to the ground on the coffin, let the coffin take away, you can take away the bad luck, and there will be no accident at home.
After returning the shovel to the village chief, I ordered the coffin to be lifted.
However, after the Eight Immortals tried, they all looked at me with a tangled face, and the coffin did not move at all.
This series of voices made the villagers talk even louder.
I frowned and began to get depressed.
It stands to reason that everything has been dealt with, and the third uncle has not changed again, so why can't he get up from the coffin?
The village chief was also full of sorrow next to him, and finally said to the coffin: "Third child, I know you are reluctant to go home, but it is already like this, you just accept your fate!" I will take care of it for you in the future, and I will help you take care of Minmin. ”
Hearing the village chief mention Minmin, my mind flashed back to the image from last night's "dream".
Although I temporarily admitted that it was just a dream last night under my grandmother's comfort, I always felt that something was wrong in my heart.
Especially at this moment, the feeling is even stronger.
Then I subconsciously said to the coffin: "Third uncle, you can bury it with peace of mind!" The villagers will help take care of it, and I will take care of Minmin. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the Eight Immortals visibly lightly lifted the coffin, and then lifted the coffin with ease.
My heart is becoming clearer and clearer, last night was definitely not as simple as a dream, but there is only one reason, the third uncle wants to entrust Minmin to me.
