Chapter Forty-Nine: The Eight Immortals Carry the Coffin
This sudden slap stunned me and Lu Wenqiang, I didn't expect this Jiang Chao to be such a tiger, and he didn't beat a girl with a soft hand.
"Get out of here." Jiang Chao pointed to the girl and said, "This is your home?" Are you a hairy man? Brother Lao Tzu is here, even if you and pee at home, it won't be your turn! ”
And Uncle Jiang's face was a little wrong when he saw this scene, but he didn't say anything!
I saw that this posture was wrong, so I got up and pulled Jiang Chao by the hand: "Brother Chao, what is this for?" Those women's words should be the wind in their ears, and it would be good if the left ear went in and the right ear went out. ”
Jiang Chao snorted coldly and sat on the sofa: "Dad, I'm fine!" Isn't there something wrong with our village? If you want to be busy, you can go ahead and get busy, I'm fine. ”
Uncle Jiang nodded, left a good word to entertain your classmates, and turned around and walked out.
Originally, I wondered why Jiang Chao was so rigid, even a woman dared to fight!
After careful questioning, I found out that Jiang Chao's mother left when he was ten years old, and in order to find someone to take care of his diet and daily life, Uncle Jiang married another one; As a result, this diet and daily life were not taken care of, but Jiang Chao was bullied when he had nothing to do; And the one who bullied him was the girl just now.
Hearing this, we kind of understand! It turned out that the girl was theoretically his sister.
I also wanted to say that Jiang Chao should not be so impulsive in the future, so Lu Wenqiang squeezed up: "Chaozi, does your sister have a partner?" If not, mind having one? If so, would you mind having another one? ”
Jiang Chao snorted: "Donkey, you'd better fight her less, otherwise even if your family has tens of millions, she can defeat you." ”
Lu Wenqiang's face darkened: "Chaozi, you can call me Qiangzi or Wen Qiang!" Don't call it a donkey, that's not good......"
Before he finished speaking, a woman in her thirties came over and slapped Jiang Chao in the face.
"Little bastard, who do you say is the loser?" The woman said with a glare.
Jiang Chao's eyes widened, and he stood up and was ready to attack, but this time I was prepared, and pulled Jiang out of the door in time.
"What are you angry with a woman? Can you drop the price? I glanced at Jiang Chao: "Let's go, take us to see the excitement!" Didn't you say that the village was dead? I'm so old that I haven't seen a funeral yet. ”
Jiang Chao nodded and led us to the mass grave in the northwest corner of the village; According to Jiang Chao, people in their village will be buried in that place after they die; Not only their village, but also people from neighboring villages are sometimes buried here.
By the time we arrived, it was already crowded with people, and several sturdy men were digging pits with shovels in their hands; And the coffin was in a pergola not far away.
"Why don't you dig with an excavator?" I looked at Jiang Chao suspiciously and asked, "It is estimated that it will take an hour to dig just by hand, right?" ”
My voice is not loud, but it is not small enough that everyone around me can hear it.
An elderly man next to me looked back at me: "The young man is not from our Jiangjiawan, right?" After our Jiangjiawan had a white incident, it was all dug by hand, otherwise people would be restless under Jiuquan. ”
After that, he didn't pay attention to me anymore.
After more than half an hour, a large pit with a length and width of two meters and a depth of three meters was finally dug.
I frowned: "Is this going to be buried vertically?" ”
Jiang Chao's eyes lit up after hearing this, he looked at me and asked, "Xiao Jiu, how do you know that you want to be buried vertically?" ”
I shook my head: "I watched the movie, but who found this acupuncture point?" Who is the deceased? How old? ”
"The deceased is a cousin of mine, named Jiang Rong, who should be twenty-three years old. What's wrong? Jiang Chao asked me.
"You shouldn't be buried at such an age! As the saying goes: if the law is buried in it, there will be no murder in Yongji. Heavy mountains and mountains, the dragons and veins are gathered, and the special dragons should be eliminated first, but this broken place, alas, ......"
"Though this place is backed by a mountain, it is not suitable for burial; In this place, the dragon does not rise, the branch dragon does not ambush, and when it is buried in this place, eighty percent of the corpses will be transformed or turned into evil. ”
Jiang Chao laughed: "Xiao Jiu, you know how to talk nonsense, how can you know if you haven't learned this thing?" This acupuncture point should be seen by Zhang Banxian from the village next door, yes. ”
At this time, Uncle Jiang shouted, "Come, where are the Eight Immortals?" The coffin was carried into the ground. ”
Immediately afterward, eight old men who were over sixty years old slowly walked out of the crowd, walked to the coffin, and lifted the coffin.
The Eight Immortals carry the coffin is a custom of burial, that is, to find eight old men over 60 years old to carry the coffin, and in the name of the Eight Immortals, it means that after death, there are eight immortals to guide the way in another world, and they will not live a very bad life.
After placing the coffin inside, the sturdy men waved their shovels again and buried the pit.
When all this was done, everyone dispersed.
And Uncle Jiang saw us in the crowd at a glance, and said to Jiang Chao with a sullen face: "Why did you bring your classmates to this place, don't you know the customs of our village?" What if something happens? ”
Jiang Chao said with an ugly face: "I understand." ”
Then, Uncle Jiang took out a basin of clean water from the side and shook it on us with willow branches a few times before we followed him back.
"Uncle Jiang, what kind of acupuncture point is that place? How to bury it vertically? Also, what do you mean by the water throwing me? I asked, feigning confusion.
Uncle Jiang smiled: "That's called a legal burial, but I don't understand it!" Is the eldest brother confused, and he actually let Xiaohua be buried vertically, it stands to reason that juniors shouldn't be; As for throwing you with water, it is to cleanse you of bad luck; People from other villages can't watch the people of our own village be buried, otherwise they will be entangled. ”
When I heard the first half of the sentence, I knew that their Jiang family was calculated.
It is said that the ancestors are buried vertically, and the descendants must be prosperous; But there are a few people who know that the descendants are buried vertically, and there are people in the family who are mourned.
And that place is not suitable for vertical burial at all, and eighty percent of the burials there will be corpses.
After returning home, the three of us went into Jiang Chao's house, and Uncle Jiang went into the kitchen to cook.
At six or seven o'clock in the evening, the sky was just a little dark, and the meal was already ready early.
At the dinner table, Jiang Chao's sister and his stepmother kept looking at us with a resentful look, but because of Uncle Jiang, they didn't have any radical words.
But I didn't care, and continued to bury my head in eating.
After eating, everyone went back to the house, only Uncle Jiang sat on the sofa alone and looked worried.
I walked over and sat next to him and asked, "Uncle Jiang, what's the matter?" ”
Uncle Jiang shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that my right eyelid keeps jumping, why haven't you slept yet?" ”
I smiled and said, "Uncle Jiang, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not. ”
