Chapter Forty-Six: This is called Taoism
Seven of us carried the coffin to Yang's house, Li Muyang stood next to him, and also came to take a hand, we gently put the coffin on the bench in the hall on the first floor, this is the end of the matter, Yang's mother saw this scene and cried again, I looked at the hour, and said: "Uncle, you contact the gong and drum maker, ask them to come and beat the gong and drum in the hall, Mr. Geography does not need to be invited, the three of us will help you deal with it."
Father Yang nodded, took the mobile phone and started to call, at this time the courtyard outside was already full of people, I walked to the door, and said: "Everyone, go back if you should go back, it's not a good thing for you to block the door, don't block the way of the dead, you know."
All the villagers, you look at me, I look at you and talk for a while, and then go outside, but when they go outside, there is a group of people rushing inside, I was stunned, they ran very anxiously, I was knocked away by them, just wanted to ask them, but I heard one of the women say: "Sister, Yi, what's wrong with Evian, ah"?
Mother Yang didn't speak, I walked over and said, "As you can see, Yang Yiyun has returned to her hometown."
"No, it can't be, how could my niece be so sudden, you, who are you, what are you doing in our house".
I was stunned again and said, "For now, you can also call me Mr. Geographic."
"Mr. Geographic? Such a little Mr. Geographic, which hairy kid are you, what kind of mess are you making here, and you dare to curse our family Evian, you get out of me."
When the woman had finished speaking, she pushed me with her hands, and I raised my hands and said, "Spell? Can't you see such a big coffin? I advise you to be quiet, or you will suffer at night."
"You, who do you say".
"Shut up! Feng Lan, what are you messing about?"
At this moment, Father Yang's voice rang out, and the woman who made Fenglan stunned for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law, what the hell is going on, how can Evian be."
After Feng Lan finished chokingly, she wiped her tears, and Father Yang sighed and said, "Don't say it, it hurts to say it."
Father Yang's voice also choked up, I ignored them, this kind of thing is better for them to say it themselves, like me as an outsider, it will definitely be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, I glanced at Mother Yang, at this time she was surrounded by several relatives and constantly comforted, and even cried with Mother Yang, more and more people walked in outside the gate, looking at the anxious posture It is estimated that they are all relatives of the Yang family.
After Father Yang was surrounded by everyone and said the matter briefly, everyone showed shocked faces, Feng Lan turned her head to look at the coffin in disbelief and pounced directly, crying: "Evian, why do you say you are so stupid, my aunt loves you the most, why did you leave suddenly"!!
Everyone showed sad expressions, it seemed that Feng Lan's husband walked over, helped Feng Lan who was kneeling on the ground up, and kept comforting, I probably took a look, there were almost a dozen people who came, there were quite a lot of men, half of them were from Yang's mother's side, that is, Yang Yiyun's cousin's family, and the other half was from Yang's father's side, that is, Yang Yiyun's cousin's family, anyway, they are all relatives, and I can't say what the relationship is.
I turned my head to look at Father Yang and said, "Is there any paper?"
Father Yang looked at me and said, "Paper? Yes, in the toilet".
I was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I mean the dark paper, as well as incense and pot ash."
Hearing this, Father Yang understood, and said with a anxious look: "I, I don't have anything in the house, here, it's not sold in this village, no."
"It's okay, big brother, I have it at home, I'll go back and get it", at this moment, a man spoke, Father Yang looked at him, nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, the man walked out quickly, and then Father Yang said to me, "I'll go get a pot of ashes and an incense burner."
I nodded and said, "By the way, I'm getting a bowl and cooking oil and wick."
"Good". Father Yang nodded and walked out immediately, I looked around, walked to the edge of the coffin, the relatives of the Yang family in the hall looked at me, after a while, the man who had just gone to get the paper walked back with a large stack of paper and incense, Li Muyang took a stack of paper and handed it to me, I put the paper on the head of the coffin, and said: "Use living money, dead use ghost money, I hope you can be a good person in your next life."
After speaking, I walked to the table in front of the coffin, took out three incense, without the help of a lighter, I turned the incense and automatically lit it, the people next to me were stunned by this scene, looked up at me, and then Father Yang also walked in, carefully holding a bowl of everlasting lamp, Li Muyang took the everlasting lamp over, put it under the coffin, and then I said: "Oh, that's right, Uncle Yang, I just remembered something, when you call the gong and drum maker to come, you will bring a little paper money and incense, as well as incense candles, buy more." , not enough for me to come out".
Father Yang nodded and said, "I'll call right away."
After saying that, Father Yang took his mobile phone and started to fight again, and I put the basin containing the ashes of paper money on the ground, and said, "Each of you will come and burn a stack of paper money and three sticks of incense."
Everyone nodded, walked straight over, and after this series of things were over, I glanced at the time, it was already more than seven o'clock, Lao Dai without my reminder, directly took the firecrackers and walked outside the gate, and put a string, the sound of firecrackers exploded, we began to decorate the mourning hall again, and when these were finished, it was almost nine o'clock, and a small radio also came out with very low Buddhist music.
When it was almost half past nine, the gong and drum maker finally came to the door, and four people walked in with the guy who was eating by themselves, and said to Father Yang in dialect: "Boss, I'm sorry, I'm delayed on the way."
Father Yang waved his hand, and I leaned against the door and shouted: "Come in and sit, rest for a while, beat the first gong and drum at ten o'clock, beat until twelve o'clock, and rest once in twenty minutes."
The leading gong and drum maker was stunned, looked at me and said, "Yo, little doll, you are quite knowledgeable."
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "That's it, don't stand, come in and sit, drink a cup of hot water, knock some melon seeds or something, oh, by the way, I asked Uncle Yang to bring you the things you brought just now."
I turned my head to look at the big bag and small bag that the last gong and drum maker was carrying, and asked knowingly, and the gong and drum maker who took the lead nodded and said, "I have brought it all, I am sure it is enough."
I nodded again, walked up to them and took the things in with Li Muyang Lao Dai, and the gong and drum maker who took the lead looked at us suspiciously, and asked Father Yang, "Boss, are they"?
"Mr. Geography, you have a lot of skills." Father Yang said.
The gong and drum maker was stunned and said, "Such a small Mr. Geography? You believe it."
"It's not a matter of believing it or not." When I heard this, I opened my mouth.
The gong and drum maker was stunned again, and glanced at the distance between me and him, at this time I was at least more than 20 meters away from him, and he spoke very quietly, I could actually hear it, the gong and drum maker looked at me for a long time, and walked in directly without thinking too much.
I put all the paper money next to me, took out two incense candles, and said, "Incense candles lead the way, paper money buys the way, and the ghosts and gods on both sides must not block the way."
After finishing speaking, the wick on the incense candle burst into flames, and the gong and drum maker was startled, looked at me in shock and said, "I'll go, are you magical?"
I smiled and said, "This is called Taoism."
The gong and drum maker looked at me stunned, I turned my head and said to Father Yang again: "It's over, it's like this the night before, when the gongs and drums beat at ten o'clock, you send someone to set off a string of firecrackers outside, Uncle Yang, you come with me."
After speaking, I walked out, Father Yang also followed, there were just the two of us in the courtyard at this time, I thought for a while and said: "Evian has been back for about three days, Uncle Yang, according to normal words, the first seven days is after seven days, Evian is going to have a disaster, disaster is the last breath of a person who is stuffed in his heart after death, this breath is emitted through the body is called Yin Feng, also known as Yin Soul, out of the disaster can also be called back to the soul, back to the evil, generally the first seven will be escorted by the ghost to see relatives and friends for the last time, so wait for the first seven, You hang two white lanterns outside the gate to prevent ordinary people from approaching that day, and so on the night of the first seven, I'm telling you the specifics, as for the day of going up the mountain, I'll wait to calculate, you will find a pen and a book for me later, and every immediate family member will come over and tell me the name and birthday, which is for the back to be used when the face is closed".
