Zhao hurriedly looked at the fat monk, and the fat monk came over and said to Xiao Laodao: "We have to carry people to the courtyard now, the space in the house is too small, and there is no way to do excessive rituals." ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at him coldly when he heard this, "Carry it to the courtyard?" What if the cat or dog comes and cheats the corpse. ”

The fat monk said, "Put someone at the gate of the courtyard, and when I finish the rituals, I will carry them back to the house." ”

Xiao Laodao didn't say anything more, with a wave of his hand, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi came over to carry the corpse, and my grandfather hurriedly came over to help when he saw this, and several people carried Zhao Shouzi's body to the courtyard.

At this time, there was already a group of people around the gate of the courtyard, all of them were watching the excitement, gossiping, talking, saying anything, some of them said, this guy owed a lot of debts when he was alive, and he was also beautiful when he died, and the monks and Taoists came to recite the scriptures to him, but his family was poor, and the monks and Taoists didn't want to get a penny.

Xiao Laodao's ears were sharp, and when he heard the man's words, he turned his head and laughed at the gate of the courtyard: "We won't come if we give the money!" ”

The fat monk wanted Xiao Shiyi to guard at the door to prevent cats and dogs from entering the hospital, Xiao Laodao said, what else to guard, there are so many people outside the door, look at his poor family, cats, dogs and animals don't come in.

The fat monk immediately took the wooden fish, came to the corpse with a solemn face, knocked the wooden fish, and circled around the thin man's corpse, muttering something in his mouth.

In Xiao Laodao's opinion, the fat monk made this magic thing, purely fooling people and ghosts, quietly called Xiao Shiyi to his side, and whispered to him: "Look at the ghost of this thin man, where is it now?" ”

Xiao Shiyi didn't even look at it, and gestured to Xiao Laodao: Behind the great monk, follow the big monk in a circle.

When Xiao Lao Dao heard it, this was quite fresh, could it be that this transcendent ritual really worked? Xiao Shiyi then gestured again: there were two black shadows standing next to the corpse, and they couldn't see what they were, as if they were here to catch the thin ghost.

Seeing this, my grandfather looked around the corpse, and there was nothing, but my grandfather could feel a chill coming from the corpse.

At this time, the fat monk stopped, beckoned Zhao in the house, and added burning paper to the brazier, Zhao hurriedly lit a pile of burning paper and put it into the brazier, the fat monk turned around and took a water scoop, scooped a scoop of water in the bucket, went from the corpse to the brazier in the house, and poured a waterway on the ground, followed by the fat monk raised his hand and pointed to the brazier, and said: "Zhao Shizhu, go, that's where you want to go." ”

After the fat monk finished speaking, Xiao Shiyi gave Xiao Lao Dao a continuous gesture: the ghost of the thin man stepped on the wetland on the ground and ran towards the brazier...... Jumped into the brazier...... It's gone.

Xiao Laodao nodded and asked in a low voice, "What about the two black shadows that can't be seen clearly?" ”

Xiao Shiyi replied: The thin ghost disappeared after jumping into the brazier, maybe he was gone.

At this time, the fat monk raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, and beckoned to my grandfather and them, "The Dharma is done, you can carry the body of Zhao Shizhu back to the house." ”

The grandfather and the others went over to carry the corpse, Xiao Laodao came to the fat monk with a suspicious face, and asked the fat monk, "Can you see those things with your eyes?" ”

The fat monk was stunned, "What's it?" ”

"Ghosts."

The fat monk quickly shook his head, "I can't see it." ”

Xiao Laodao asked, "Then how can you let the ghost of the thin man jump into the brazier?" ”

The fat monk was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Did you really jump into the brazier?" ”

Xiao Laodao nodded, "Eleven has yin and yang eyes, he saw it." ”

The fat monk said, "This Dharma was taught to me by my master, and I just did it, and I didn't know anything else." ”

Xiao Laodao asked again: "Then what do you mean by letting him jump into the brazier?" ”

The fat monk replied: "Listen to my master, all those who die are very resentful, fire can burn their resentment, let them be a normal ghost, master also said, water through yin, fire through yang, jump into the brazier, you can go to the Western Elysium, if you jump into the basin, you will go to the underworld." ”

Xiao Laodao frowned slightly, "What else do you say?" ”

The fat monk said: "Master told me so, I don't know, otherwise why would those eminent monks have to be cremated." ”

Xiao Laodao pouted, "There are also a lot of burials......

After the ritual was completed, the people who were watching the excitement at the gate of the courtyard saw that there was nothing more lively to see, so they dispersed one after another.

Xiao Laodao and the fat monk went back to the house together, and Xiao Laodao asked the Zhao family, is there anything else, if there is nothing else, it is not early, we should also go back.

Zhao hurriedly stopped a few people, Zhao said, you are busy for most of the night, stay and have a meal before leaving. A few people didn't want to trouble the Zhao family, but the Zhao family said that they wouldn't let everyone leave, so everyone had to stay.

Half an hour later, the rice was ready, each person had a bowl of clear soup noodles, the master took the bowl, looked inside, the clear soup was waterless, there was no oil at all, and there seemed to be only a little salty salt in the noodles.

There was no place to sit in the house, so he squatted on the ground and ate, but after eating a few bites, Xiao Shiyi suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks and gestured to everyone. ”

Xiao Shiyi gestured and said: I am calling a person's name and letting that person out.

Xiao Laodao asked, "Whose name?" ”

Xiao Shiyi pointed at the thin man's corpse and gestured: I don't know, the one who shouted the surname Zhao might be his......

Seeing this, Xiao Laodao hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and beckoned to my grandfather, "Brother, let's go outside and have a look." ”

Everyone didn't have the heart to eat anymore, except for Zhao and the child, several people all came out, came to the gate of the courtyard, looked into the alley, Xiao Shiyi immediately gestured: It's gone, just now I saw someone shouting surnamed Zhao, let him go out.

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from the house: "Son, what are you doing, wake up......"

Everyone hurried back to the house, and saw Zhao's son half-lying on the ground, and Zhao sat on the ground and held the child's upper body in his arms.

This child, looking like a teenager, but also very thin, the grandfather looked at the child, and saw that the child's face was purple, his eyes were closed, and the symptoms were very similar to my ancestor told him that "the ghost pinched his throat".

However, before my grandfather could take action, Xiao Laodao shouted: "This is choking, give me the child quickly." Xiao Laodao walked over and squatted down, snatched the child from Zhao's arms, picked up the slap, and slammed it on the child's back a few times, the child suddenly "wow", spit out a big mouthful of noodles, and when his eyes opened, everyone was immediately relieved.

Xiao Laodao handed the child to Zhao and said to Zhao: "It's okay, don't cry, the child is choked by noodles, just shoot it." ”

Xiao Shiyi came over at this time and pulled Xiao Laodao's clothes, gesticulating and saying: What he spit out was not noodles, but a large ball of hair.

"What?" Xiao Laodao and my grandfather looked at the ground at the same time, and it was obvious that what they spit out was noodles.

Xiao Shiyi gestured again: It's really hair, there may be someone who wants the child's life.

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he couldn't help frowning, looked at Xiao Shiyi, and said, "Could it be that the shouting you heard just now was calling this child's name?" ”

Xiao Shiyi shook his head, saying that he didn't know, Xiao Laodao snorted, "It's really a house leak that happened to rain for days, the father just died, and someone wants the child's life, what did their family do?" Saying that, Xiao Laodao turned his head to look at my grandfather, "Brother, do you have any way to know who is going to attack the child?" ”

My grandfather looked ashamed and said, "I don't have that much ability, but if there are really things that want to come and make trouble, I have a way to keep their houses in their houses so that those things can't get into them." ”

After the grandfather finished speaking, Xiao Laodao was just about to say something, the Zhao family next to him suddenly cried, everyone turned their heads to see, the child actually closed his eyes again, my grandfather hurriedly went over to give the child a pulse, there was no pulse, and he probed his nose again, he was no longer breathing, and he died......

Zhao burst into tears, making everyone's hearts twitch hard. What do you say, God kills the single grass, and the flood floods the single-plank bridge......

When everyone returned to the temple, it was already late at night, and everyone was in a bad mood, my grandfather walked at the end, and after everyone entered the wing, my grandfather was the last to step in, but at the moment when he entered the wing, he felt that his back was gently patted.

The master was stunned for a moment, then the fire slammed up, turned around and yelled at the door: "What do you shoot, what do you want to do!" ”

Xiao Laodao and several people were stunned when they heard the grandfather's shouting, Xiao Laodao hurriedly asked, "Brother, what's wrong, do you feel that someone is patting your back again?" ”

My grandfather nodded fiercely, "I don't know what it is, I don't know what he's going to do, he always pats me on the back, can't he give me a clear sign!" ”

Xiao Laodao immediately smiled bitterly, "Brother, don't you understand it yet, I have figured it out now, this thing that patted us on the back doesn't want us to leave, it should be that you want us to take care of these things in their village!" ”

My grandfather walked into the wing room and glanced at Xiao Laodao, who continued: "If you don't believe it, when we deal with the affairs here, we will definitely be able to leave." Saying that, Xiao Laodao sighed, "Bad luck, it's really bad luck, these days, there are always some things that can't get along with us......"

The master also sighed helplessly.

The next day, Zhao Shouzi was buried, and the father and son were buried together, and Zhao was so crying that he couldn't get up on the ground, so he didn't go to the cemetery together.

Her husband is gone, her son is gone, and for her, it is undoubtedly more serious than the sky falling.

Or my grandfather and a few of them helped, Xiao Laodao found a good place on the mountain outside the village, Xiao Laodao said to everyone, this place, Fu Lu Shuangquan, ten years later, can bless future generations.

When the master heard this, he felt even more uncomfortable, and said to Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, don't say it, everyone is out of business, where are there any descendants." ”

"That's right......" Xiao Laodao swallowed and foamed, and immediately changed the topic, "Let's bury it, it's dead anyway, let's not pay attention to any rules, bury their father and son together." ”

The father and son wrapped a straw mat in total, and buried it like this, while burying it, Xiao Laodao sighed, "Damn it, there are frozen bones on the road, and the wine and meat of Zhumen stink, look at the tombs of those princes and nobles, jade coffins, nanmu coffins, golden jade clothes, and then look at these ordinary people, a broken straw mat, two barren mountains...... If I don't dig graves, I'm sorry for the people in the world! "Thank you for the red envelope of whom, I just suspected that I was not the reader of Liu Huanghe, and asked me why I didn't mention his name in the book, and I also specifically asked you the name of the grinding iron, and I also said, in the next chapter, I will make it up for you, however, there are too many people in WeChat, I can't find the name, and I forgot who it is, I remember that the name of the grinding iron seems to be "my family treasure"? Right? This, mainly to prove, is me, it is very necessary and correct to doubt, because there are many pirated copies of the book, and I dare not guarantee that no one will not pretend to be me.

When the master heard this, he glanced at Xiao Laodao, and the master knew that Xiao Laodao was uncomfortable, but he had nowhere to vent, so he could only say these marginal and cynical words.

After burying the father and son of the Zhao family, Xiao Laodao put incense on the grave and burned a lot of yellow paper, Xiao Laodao said to the grave: "I said Brother Zhao, you can make an exception for the poor road, the poor road has always only dug other people's graves, but I didn't expect that today I built a grave for others...... What about the money, you take it, and when you get there, buy more food for the child, and you see that you have made the child ...... thin."

After burning the yellow paper, Xiao Laodao greeted my grandfather and them, "Let's go, go back and talk to the Zhao family, just say that her husband and children are gone without worry, let her rest assured." ”

Back at Zhao's house, as soon as they entered the door, everyone was stunned, and they saw Zhao hanging himself from the jujube tree in the courtyard......

Xiao Laodao suddenly lost his voice and shouted: This time it's really dead......
