Chapter 21: Grandpa's Aftermath
"Grandpa!"
I breathed a sigh of relief, broke free and got up in an instant, rushed to my grandfather's body, with tears in my eyes, shouting loudly, choking, I used my body to support my grandfather's feet, and Yang Yuanshan cut the hemp rope with scissors, and then, Yang Yuanshan and I lifted my grandfather's body, placed it on the ground of the hall, and put a straw mat under it.
Over the years, my grandfather and I have depended on each other, although there are no parents, but I have never been unhappy, grandpa can always try his best to let me eat delicious food, wear the latest, so old, still free to go hunting in the mountains, sold money to maintain the family, grandpa's love for me, as if like a picture, presented in my mind.
Grandpa is the best grandfather in the world, but he is old, but he can't die well, I was grief-stricken, lying on my grandfather's body and crying bitterly.
I really want to be filial to my grandfather in the days to come, so that my grandfather will not work so hard anymore, and let him spend his old age in peace, but these things, but I haven't done it yet, my grandfather has already passed away, I have suffered a lifetime, I have suffered a lifetime, I have not enjoyed a day of happiness, and I have not repaid my grandfather's nurturing grace, I am ashamed of my grandfather, woo woo woo......
"Ergou, the deceased is gone, you mourn and change, don't be too sad, this catastrophe is also in the dark, there is a fixed number, alas!" Yang Yuanshan patted me on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
"Mr. Yang, I don't want my grandfather to die, woo woo woo ......" I choked up and said what I wanted to say the most in my heart.
"Ergou, don't cry anymore, now that your grandfather has gone, you are the only one left in your house, you have to cheer up, don't make the child angry anymore!" Yang Yuanshan didn't comfort me anymore, but reprimanded me very harshly.
"But, but I don't know how to cheer up, my grandfather is gone, I'm really miserable, Mr. Yang...... I'm really miserable...... Woo-woo-woo......" I choked up and said in fits and starts.
"I understand your feelings, but if your grandfather knew that when you saw him like this, he would have no master, and he would be so miserable, surely your grandfather would not feel good in his heart, huh? Look at the second dog, there is something above the beam! Yang Yuanshan comforted, and suddenly pointed to the beam above and said in astonishment.
I stood up slowly, and followed Yang Yuanshan's point, only to see that on the beam, a few words seemed to be drawn out by something like a sharp claw...... "Blood debt and blood repayment, there should be this reward; Li and Zhao's two families, disaster to three generations! ”
"Then the Li and Zhao families must refer to your family and the Zhao Liushun family, and the disaster affects three generations...... Well, you and your grandfather are just a generation apart, which means that even you will be in danger now! Yang Yuanshan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and sighed softly.
"Huh? Mr. Yang, then, what should I do?! "I looked at Yang Yuanshan in horror, I didn't expect the fox clan to take my grandfather's life, and he still refused to stop, and he was willing to take my life together, but now I am facing them as a weak person who is like a helpless chicken, and it is impossible to confront the fox clan, only to save my life, this catastrophe, I am afraid that Yang Yuanshan will have to help our two families resolve it.
"Don't worry, let me think about it, by the way, your grandfather's soul has long been out of the body, in order to avoid any further mistakes, I think tomorrow you should let your grandfather into the ground, the customs of this place will be put aside, and we will make other plans for the rest!" Yang Yuanshan frowned and said with a serious face.
I thought about it, how do I know about the burial, but I have also seen the process of burying the deceased relatives in other families, generally the deceased person, at least three to seven days or so, during which to find someone to build a coffin, purchase funeral matters, and then follow the rules to send the deceased into the earth for peace, only to be complete.
But Yang Yuanshan just said that my family's affairs this time are unusual, and the custom can only be put aside, and my grandfather will be buried tomorrow!
I nodded my head in agreement.
Sadness is sadness, since my grandfather has passed away, I must not let my grandfather down anymore, and I will do my best according to what Yang Yuanshan said, so that my grandfather can rest in peace under Jiuquan and rest assured of me.
Wiping a handful of tears, I choked up and said, "Mr. Yang, you sit down and rest first, I will go to the village to find someone to buy a coffin overnight, and invite the third old and fourth uncles to preside over the overall situation of the burial." ”
The so-called three old and four uncles, is the head of our mountain village, the three elders are not just referring to a few people, but the three most respected old people in the village, generally who has a red and white happy event, are to invite the three elders to preside, so that it seems to be justified, but also in line with the rules of our village, and get the approval of the villagers, as for the fourth uncle, it refers to the elders in the village, according to the generation, I just invited all the uncles and uncles in the village, and it is reasonable.
I worked all night, until early in the morning, I ran through all the doors, first knocked on the door, the other party opened the door, I didn't say a word, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to others, so that the other party understands the etiquette of the person, has understood that my family has a white matter, generally do not need to say anything, the other party naturally rushed to me early the next morning to help.
So I invited the third elder, invited the fourth uncle, and also found the secretary of the village party committee to help, the secretary of the village party committee and the third old and the fourth uncle can carry things, I took out all my family's savings, the old secretary had nothing else, went directly to find someone, and went to the town overnight to pull the coffin.
The old secretary also said that there was still something missing, and the people in the village got together and had everything.
I was so moved that I kowtowed to others a few times, so that my grandfather had to be buried, and it was done, and at dawn in the early morning, before I washed my face, I saw the village rushing to my house in a sparse manner.
At this time, Yang Yuanshan did not go to rest, and lit incense candles in the hall, and there were also burned talisman ashes on the ground, I wondered what Yang Yuanshan was doing, but he was stopped by the three elders, they told me that Yang Yuanshan was overspending his grandfather, in the end, the old people were well-informed, if I was a stunned young man, maybe I stepped forward to disturb Yang Yuanshan's practice.
After Yang Yuanshan finished reading the scriptures in the pass, it was strange to say, I found that my grandfather's complexion was ruddy, and it looked extremely hideous before, seeing this, Yang Yuanshan asked the three elders: "When will the coffin arrive?" ”
"It's coming, it's coming." An old man hurriedly agreed.
Yang Yuanshan nodded, and motioned to change my grandfather's life clothes, and then said, "Just call me when you are young." ”
After speaking, Yang Yuanshan turned around and walked into the inner room and closed the door.
I may have thought of something, Yang Yuanshan must be too tired, his Dao method was destroyed, and he reluctantly did an excessive ritual service, he must have entered the inner room to recuperate at this moment, but it was evening, could it be that Yang Yuanshan had already calculated the time of my grandfather's funeral?
A busy day passed quickly, after everything was done, the three elders calculated the time, and it was really a unitary time, and it was not bad at all, the villagers admired Yang Yuanshan is really a veritable Mr. Big, my family invited this Mr. Big, and it will definitely turn evil into good fortune.
As for my grandfather's funeral so soon, the people in the village seem to have a point in their hearts, and some people even spread that my house was very "lively" two days ago, and some people got up at night to see a group of people in white clothes around my house, so scared that the villagers did not dare to go out.
At this moment, Yang Yuanshan walked out of the inner room and said directly: "Broken tiles!" ”
