Things are almost ready, it's time to be buried, when the funeral, because it is a vain death, it is also an old man, and you can't send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, you have to bury the old wife of the Yan family before Yan Wenguang can be buried, so it can't be as simple as the death of the daughter of Yan An's family before, Yan Guang has to do a big job, so I have to handle all the ceremonies.

So I covered the face of the Yan family's wife with yellow paper, which is called "face paper"; Then he has a copper coin in his mouth, which is called "mouth money"; The back pad is a copper coin, also called "pad back money".

Holding a thread in the hand and wearing a small dough cake, it is called "beating the dog cake" in the line, and then a black magnetic lamp will be lit at the head of the coffin later, which is called "soul-attracting lamp"; Put a clay pot, for the purpose of burning paper and hanging filial piety for children and relatives during the spirit stoppage, the northeast is called "old pot" anyway, there are names in various places, but the effect is the same.

A tent is set up at the door of the mourning room, and an offering table is set up in the shed for holding a filial piety ceremony; Outside the gate hung a banner made of white paper, this is called "finger soul paper", the Yan family's wife is seventy-three, there are seventy-three flags, and they must be equal to their age.

Busy with everything, the second day of the funeral, this day Yan Guang wears an oblique filial piety hat, the hat is bound to hemp, called "clothed linen", wearing filial piety clothes, waist rope, mopping the ground at one end of the mourning period, called "pulling waist rope", barefoot wearing straw shoes, holding a willow mourning stick, the staff is wrapped in a white strip of paper.

The daughter-in-law wears a blanket, wears filial piety clothes, a rope, white socks and straw shoes, and the eldest daughter-in-law looks filial piety with a soup pot in her hand, and his youngest daughter Yan Li is the same, but Yan Li is weak and has a yin on her body, I just let him kneel in the back hall wearing linen and filial piety, so as not to collide with the corpse.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, there were really a lot of guests, I arranged for the guests to burn paper luggage and pay the money while reporting the funeral, and the person who collected the money was Yan Wenli, because there was really no one in the Yan family, so I had to ask Yan Wenli, who had some prestige, to collect the money.

After the guests almost arrived, they had to be buried, because they were afraid of being cremated by the official family, so Yan Guang wanted to be buried quickly, and I had to keep everything simple, "reporting to the temple", "guiding the way", "sending soup", "inviting spirits", "going out of the funeral" just shouted all the way, sprinkled paper money all the way, and did not kneel and knock on relatives to cry and mourn.

When he arrived at the low mountain, Yan Guang dug two pits in his ancestral grave, sprinkled the money, and then buried them.

I was busy all morning, and only then did I have time to rest, and before Yan Wenli sat down, Yan Guang came to ask for money, which made Yan Wenli's face quite faceless, gave him the money, and drank with us.

Yan Guang and his wife look filial, but they are extremely treacherous, I help him do everything, all procurement is the easiest and cheapest, he said it is called thrift, but I look at it is to collect money.

Yan Wenli drank the wine, felt a little uncomfortable, and went to the back room, sure enough, he saw Yan Guang and his family sitting on the kang and counting the money, Yan Wenli scolded a few words, saying something "The bones are not cold, you two came to collect money first, sorry for the ancestors", but they were all pushed back by Yan Guang, and the angry Yan Wenli left without eating the wine.

I couldn't go, because I had to bury Yan Wenguang at night, and after thanking the guests, I was a little confused in the hall for a while, but I didn't sleep at all, because I knew that thing would definitely come at night.

Yan Guang and his daughter-in-law Wang Fang hid the money in the afternoon, and they didn't give a penny to their sister-in-law, which is a lot, because the salutes in the village are all double, because the Yan family is two generations old.

Wang Fang saw me in the hall cat, and politely told me to go into the back room to sit, I said I didn't have to, but she insisted hard, I knew that she was not a caring person, otherwise I didn't even drink saliva in the morning, and I didn't see her come to greet me, I thought she must have something, I saw that she had been kneeling on the ground and guarding Yan Li, I knew one or two, so I went into the back room.

As soon as I closed the door, I heard Wang Fang's words.

"Yan Li, you get married quickly, don't embarrass our family, get pregnant before marriage, if people know about it, your dead ghost father will crawl out of the coffin angrily!"

When I heard this, I stopped, it seems that this Wang Fang wants to marry Yan Li.

"I've prepared the things for you, the old immortal passed away and left some quilts, you can still use them, as for the gift money, you can't miss one in a million, and the dead fat man must take it out."

I listened to Wang Fang's words very domineering, and Yan Li was not allowed to discuss at all, it seems that I used to bully this girl at home before, so I will listen to it, because I can't control it, but Wang Hong, a fat man, has to be knifed.

I was just about to get off the cat in bed, Wang Hong came in, and when I saw that his eyes were black, I asked, "Langjun has tossed you a lot these days and nights."

Wang Hong smacked my face and scolded me: "Your bad idea, I panicked, that Yan Li almost tossed me to death in the past two days, it's weird, why is she so powerful as a young woman?" My legs and feet are weak back and forth, and, to put it even stranger, do you see her getting better and better? And I, as if I was going to die. ”

I smiled and said to Wang Hong: "This is called picking yang to make up for yin, she was harmed by evil things before, yin qi leaked out, and she almost died, so I asked you, a man with heavy yang energy, to make up for her, this kind of thing, you take advantage, of course you have to pay a little price."

Wang Hong glared at me, wanted to scold me but couldn't scold, held back for a long time, and then asked me: "Is there really an evil thing to harm her?" What is it? That night, I heard movement in the cowshed, what the hell was going on? I don't ask you to say, you are in a hurry to kill grandpa and me. ”

I hurriedly made a silent gesture to Wang Hong, and I said, "I'm talking about it tonight, that thing is very powerful, it almost killed me that night, if it wasn't for the Yan family's wife to save me, it is estimated that my life will be gone."

Wang Hong was surprised when she heard this, and asked me quietly: "Isn't the old woman of the Yan family dead?"

I nodded, this made Wang Hong even more confused, I didn't pay attention to him, so I continued to sleep, and when it was over, I buried Yan Wenguang and said.

Wang Hong saw that I ignored him, so he walked out, I fell asleep in a daze, and I heard intermittent crying in my ears, very similar to Yan Li, and I didn't care.

In front of the mourning hall, Wang Hong knelt in front of Yan Wenguang, and Yan Li said to him: "My sister-in-law wants a bride price of one in a million, can you take it out?"

Wang Hong looked up and down at the people in the coffin, her face was covered with yellow paper, and when she heard Yan Li's words, she was very unhappy, and scolded and said, "her second uncle, one in a million?" You don't look at your body. ”

Yan Li is weak, and she was even more wronged by Wang Hong, Wang Hong is a muddy person, where does Yan Li care, the cat began to pull the corpse in the coffin with her waist bent, Yan Li saw it, and asked, "What are you?" What are you doing with my dad?"

Wang Hong smiled and took out the money under the corpse, this money is gold and silver coins, it is valuable, Wang Hong said to Yan Li: "Raise some bride money, anyway, your father doesn't need it, it's good to be cheap for you and me."

Yan Li was very aggrieved, this will see her sister-in-law come out, she coughed, Wang Hong, who was frightened, quickly got up, and when she saw Wang Fang, she laughed, Wang Fang was polite, and said with a smile: "Your name is Wang Hong, right, listen to Yan Li, I am in charge of the two of you, and when the funeral is over, you two will do things, Chong Chongxi, but you also know that we can't have less money for the bride price in the countryside, but we don't want more, let's pick one out of ten thousand."

Wang Hong listened to the cat that gave her a good face and said: "Roll the calf, you are a ball, you don't talk about the people who call me back and forth, and ask me for the bride price?" Her father didn't say anything, what did you say? That's all for today's words, if you love to marry or not, I'm still rare. ”

Wang Hong's words made Wang Fang very beautiful, but she didn't quarrel with Wang Hong, she saw that Wang Hong was a messy person, and if she quarreled, she would beat people, so when she was done, she would find his eldest brother to call the shots, and Yan Li was also afraid of fighting in the mourning hall, so she pulled Wang Hong away.

Wang Fang was resentful in her heart, she was originally a domineering person, she was used to being powerful at home, she could be scolded by others, she couldn't be angry, so she kicked the coffin, and scolded "Old immortal, look at the good girl you raised, she was made to have a big belly, she is a cheap thing, and she can't sell it", Wang Fang scolded and was still angry, and suddenly thought about whether Wang Hong was turning over the coffin before.

Wang Fang thought so, hurriedly lay down in the coffin, and gave the corpse reaction, and sure enough, the money in the back was gone, she trembled with anger, and spit into the coffin.

"The old immortal, the money on your back has been stolen, why are you so ashamed"

Wang Fang scolded, while reaching out to touch the corpse's mouth, there was a gold coin in her mouth and mouth, she quickly took it, so as not to be stolen by Wang Hong again, but she couldn't take it out after touching her mouth several times, which made her even more annoyed, and she lifted the yellow paper on the corpse.

Wang Fang looked inside, suddenly, her eyes were round, and she looked at the corpse's hideous face, empty eyeballs, which were dark inside, like two ghost eyes, and even more weird, the corpse actually smiled weirdly at her, this time Wang Fang's heart tightened, her eyes were black, and she fell headlong.

I listened to the movement outside in a daze, so I quickly got up, and saw that the time was in time, this sleep was heavy enough, I hurriedly walked out of the mourning hall, and suddenly saw Wang Fang lying on the ground, straight and straight, maybe other people also heard the movement, and came out together, Yan Guang saw his daughter-in-law fall to the ground unconscious, and hurried over, but when he saw the people in the coffin, he was scared and shuddered, and knelt on the ground with a poof.

As soon as I looked at the corpse, I quickly covered the yellow paper, and then touched Wang Hong's snort, she was out of breath, I saw her eyes widening angrily, the expression on her face was frightened, and there was yellow water at the corner of her mouth, I knew that she must have been scared to death by the fire, I saw that she was still holding a gold coin tightly in her hand, and scolded in my heart.
