But when you burrow, it is normal to encounter animals many times. But when you meet some animals, you have to change the place, but when you meet some animals, you must not change them.

What Liu Yunfeng encountered at this time was the latter kind of auspicious acupoint that could never be replaced.

"If you come across an ant hole when digging a burrow, the tomb will have to be relocated. Because ants will eat corpses, corpses near ant holes are more likely to be destroyed. But if you encounter a snake or a turtle, you can't change it! Because this just shows that this is a living tomb, so these two animals exist. Snakes, also known as small dragons; And the turtle, that is a symbol of longevity. When these two animals are dug up, it is definitely a rare good sign! ”

As soon as I explained this, Liu Yunfeng was relieved, and he smiled: "Since this is the case, then let's do it!" My father's affairs are troublesome to you, and if it is useful to me in the future, I will definitely do my best to help everyone. ”

After listening to Liu Yunfeng's words, he took the cigarette he handed over next, and everyone smiled and prepared to start.

I hurriedly instructed: "This place is a rare auspicious hole, I don't know if there will be anything dug up in a while, so everyone must pay attention to the subordinates in front of you, once you find something unusual." Whether it's alive or dead, tell me right away. I would like to remind you that, first, the day of burial is set for two days later, and everyone must pay attention to the speed, and the day after tomorrow before the sun sets, but not too early. Second, and one thing to pay special attention to, is the one I just mentioned, whatever is dug up in this tomb, you must be told that you must not touch it. Just like the snake just now, if it is accidentally injured by everyone, or even killed, then, if it is light, the family of the person who injured and killed it will be unlucky or even have a bloody disaster; If it is heavy, then our whole village will not think about peace. But you don't have to be too nervous, these things are spiritual, and if you let it go today, you will do a great good deed, and you will be blessed in the future. ”

After listening to what I said, everyone started to do it.

According to our tradition here, all the food and drink, including tobacco, alcohol, tea, etc., during the grave digging of these people, was provided by the Lord's family. Liu Yunfeng had to deliver things here on time for the grave diggers to eat and drink.

And it's not just about delivering it in person.

When it was time to eat, he had to kneel on the ground and wait until everyone had finished eating.

This is also a way for filial sons to fulfill their filial piety for their ancestors, after all, all of them are here to help bury their father, and for filial sons, they are the benefactors of this family.

There was never another snake coming out of the grave, and of course, I had a hunch that such an animal would not appear again. You can't be too greedy, and if there are too many good signs, you should respond to the phrase 'blessings and misfortunes lurk in the place', which may not be a good thing.

Every day, I would go up the mountain with Liu Yunfeng to see the progress of the grave repair, and by the afternoon of the handover, when I came here again, the grave was almost open.

One of the villagers who was digging the grave said to me: "Little coffin, this grave is indeed good, and when we just got off the shovel today, we felt that there was a warm breath coming up from it." Even if you don't understand it, you know it's a good place! ”

The warmth inside the tomb just means that this is a good place. The villager was right, and Liu Yunfeng also showed a faint joy on his face, looking very satisfied with this place.

When the sun was setting, Liu Yunfeng scattered the money he had prepared in the cave to reward everyone for their hard work in the past few days. These few nights, the tomb keepers waited until everyone had gone up, then packed up the money, and finally cleaned up the handprints, footprints, and so on left in the tomb. This step is called 'sweeping', which means similar to cleaning before moving into a new home, sweeping away the filth that should not be there. Immediately after, he was the last to climb up.

Speaking of which, we have to mention this grave keeper.

He is related to the Liu family and can be regarded as Liu Yunfeng's cousin. Carpenter Liu had a good relationship with him during his lifetime, and the relationship between the two families was relatively close. It is precisely because this person has a good relationship with the Liu family, and is not only bold, but also alert and reliable, that Liu Yunfeng dared to ask him to be the tomb keeper.

And I am also familiar with Carpenter Liu's actions during his lifetime, and I have rarely heard of him being red-faced with someone, let alone making a feud with someone. Therefore, he dared to really let Liu Yunfeng choose to dig the hole first, and then bury.

Otherwise, even in autumn and winter, if you have a choice, the employer can naturally choose independently, and I will not interfere if I choose, but I will never encourage the employer to choose this way.

The reason is very simple, if the deceased had a feud with someone during his lifetime, or if the tomb keeper was dishonest or lazy, then in the process of excavation, the tomb could easily be secretly hidden by others to suppress luck or even things that could lead to disaster.

In order to prevent this, more people choose to dig graves on the day of burial. And people don't stop shoveling, there are people working all the time, it's mysterious, and it's a lot of attention, but in the final analysis, it still doesn't give anyone the opportunity to secretly do things when no one has time.

It is also for this reason that the grave keeper will stay here for another night, and he will not be able to leave until tomorrow after the burial.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Liu Yunfeng and I took the other villagers down the mountain, of course, before leaving, we did not forget to leave cigarettes, alcohol and some snacks for the tomb keeper, so as not to get bored and doze off here for a long night.

This night, the three of us, Jiang Yifeng and Liu Yunfeng kept a wake for Carpenter Liu.

Because there are three people, as long as two people are awake, you can sleep for a while in shifts to relieve fatigue.

And this night, because I had to preside over the burial tomorrow, Liu Yunfeng insisted on refusing to let me stay with him until late, and let me go to the back room to rest early.

I can't say anything about him, so I told the two of them not to be too tired, after all, Jiang Yifeng will be a little easier tomorrow, and Liu Yunfeng will be an important person tomorrow, so he can't be without spirit. When I was told, I went to the back room to rest.

I don't know why the weather was so cold that night, I was wrapped in two layers of quilts, but I still couldn't sleep well.

I slept in a daze until the middle of the night, when I suddenly felt someone blowing at me by the bedside. The slightest hint of colder breath blew on my neck, and I couldn't help but shrink my neck, almost sinking my chin into the quilt.

But then I heard someone sticking a stalk into the quilt, and the thin stalk scratched my neck.

I suddenly became irritable, got up suddenly, and looked over the bed, only to see a tiny shadow whoosh under the bed as if frightened.

Seeing this scene, I was immediately scared to wake up.

But my brain was still confused, and I didn't know what it was.

Thinking that there were two people keeping vigil outside the door, I didn't have to be afraid of whatever it was. So, I jumped out of bed and didn't turn on the lights in the house. I just picked up the flashlight that I put aside, turned on the light, and shone it under the bed.

The light of my flashlight shone from left to right, and then from right to left, and I didn't even see a living thing, not even a mouse.

It's hard for me to understand! If there is no living thing, then what was blowing around me and poking me with something like a straw stalk? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and everyone was about to get under the bed, but they still didn't find anything.

I was looking for it, and suddenly a voice came from behind me, "What are you looking for?" ”
