Chapter 2: The Coffin at the Door
When the funeral was held in the afternoon, a Taoist priest came, and before he entered the door, his face turned pale with fright, and the Taoist priest's mustache kept shaking: "I'm not coming, I'm not coming, you can do it yourself." ”
After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he ran away.
Qin Sanye had a calm face and told my grandfather that he would be buried early.
Grandpa took me up the back mountain.
Since the last time we caught the big snake, we haven't been to the back mountain, and at this time my grandfather took me up the back mountain to choose a good feng shui cemetery for my father.
However, when we arrived at the back mountain, we found that the back mountain was in a mess, and many people's ancestral graves and tombstones had fallen down.
This incident caused a sensation in the village, and for a while, many people loved to scold my grandfather, saying that if it wasn't for my grandfather having to eat the python, things would not have turned out like this.
But when the snake meat was first divided, they all came, and they were all elated. Now that something has happened, it's all our family's fault.
There are also many people who say that this time the big python will definitely make our family die.
Qin Sanye eliminated all difficulties, but at this time he stood up and asked the big guy to repair the ancestral tomb in the back mountain, and at the same time, he also chose a feng shui treasure for my father.
After finding that place, Qin Sanye brought a lot of young descendants from the village, Qin Sanye also gave me a small shovel, and said to me: "Qin Xian, the rules of the village, if you are buried, you must have a filial son to dig the first three shovels, you are your father's most beloved son, and you should be allowed to come in these three shovels." ”
I nodded, staggered to the place that Qin Sanye said before, and shoveled it three times with a small shovel. Qin Sanye hugged me aside and beckoned the other young juniors to do it.
In a short time, a grave pit was dug.
Qin Sanye's expression was gloomy: "Let's bury it directly now, and go find a better coffin." ”
Someone in the crowd said, "There's a coffin parked in front of his house, so why not use that?" ”
Someone else said: "If something happens to their family, don't involve our family." ”
"The coffin is made of the wrong material, I look like a bone."
"Is there a bone that big? Could it be a dragon? ”
"The one they ate before, isn't it a dragon?"
The discussion was loud, a group of people pushed and shoved but did not want to go down the mountain, Qin Sanye stared at them coldly, and was about to speak, but he heard an exclamation from the crowd.
The men pointed in the direction of the grave, their eyes widened.
Qin Sanye and I turned around and found that the grave behind us was crawling with dense snakes.
The snakes, big and small, thick and thin, were all entwined together, wriggling in the grave.
This time, everyone was so scared that they ran down the hill for fear of being bitten by the snake.
Qin Sanye also picked me up with a pale face and rushed down the mountain directly.
After learning what happened on the mountain, Grandpa was so angry that he trembled and hung his chest.
My mother simply took out the chopping board at home, holding a bright kitchen knife in her hand, and immediately stood at the gate of the courtyard with a horizontal knife, chopping the cutting board with the kitchen knife, while chopping the cutting board, while shouting loudly: "One knife and one chop, don't enter the evil!" ”
Even when I was carried into the house by Qin Sanye, when she spoke to my mother, she didn't pay attention to me, her eyes stared straight ahead, her red eyes, and red eye circles, as if she was isolated from the outside world.
Even her voice was hoarse, but my mother didn't want to stop.
Qin Sanye sighed: "Why don't I try?" ”
"What else do you do?" Grandma teary-eyed: "Really? ”
"Big sister, you know, I'm just a Chinese medicine doctor, and I don't necessarily have a way, this is what I saw in the wild book." Qin Sanye whispered: "I don't know if it can be done. ”
The method proposed by Qin Sanye is to be a stand-in.
It is to make a doll out of red cloth or paper, and use it to replace the person who will die.
Grandma immediately started, and it didn't take long for 4 dolls to be made in place of grandma, grandpa, my mother, and me.
At that time, it was close to 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Qin Sanye took these 4 dolls, and found a copper basin to burn in the yard. Each doll is made of red cloth or paper, but each doll has our family's hair and blood in it, Qin Sanye said that this will work.
Grandpa kept smoking a cigarette and frowning.
Seeing Qin Sanye's actions, he didn't know what to say, so he just sat there and smoked.
4 dolls burned quickly.
Qin Sanye's face was a little pale, Qin Sanye's age was too old, so he naturally couldn't bear it, so he looked up and smiled at us: "I'm afraid it'll be okay now, find a time tomorrow and bury your father." ”
I don't know why, when Qin Sanye raised his head, I saw that those eyes were exactly the same as the pair of green and cruel eyes I saw in the courtyard before.
That night, my mother refused to enter the house, so she had to chop the cutting board outside with red eyes, again and again, unswervingly.
Qin Sanye's persuasion was fruitless, but it was too late, so Qin Sanye went back to rest. My grandmother coaxed me to sleep, and my grandfather stayed in the courtyard alone, not saying a word.
A good home, in less than a few days, is scattered.
I was lying in bed next to my grandmother, but I couldn't sleep. Grandma was probably afraid of the cold, so she leaned on top of me and let me pick me up.
But I couldn't get hot, I always felt itchy on my face, itchy limbs, and occasionally, there was that cold touch on my body, as if something had crawled over me.
I had a dream, I dreamed that I was in a dark room, or in a dark corridor, I couldn't see anything for 4 weeks anyway, I held on to the wall and walked slowly, I called my father's name, my mother's name.
But no one answered me.
At the end of the dark corridor, there were pairs of green eyes.
Those eyes stared at me from afar.
It seems to be mocking.
I ran back when I saw those eyes, but it didn't take long for me to realize that I was surrounded by these eyes. These eyes are as numerous as a cow's hair, and as dense as the stars. Just when I was at a loss, I found that these eyes overlapped one after another, and it didn't take long for so many eyes to become one pair.
A pair of gloomy, fierce eyes.
The eyes gradually lit up, wrinkles grew, and a face of vicissitudes grew.
That's Qin Sanye!
I woke up all at once.
But at this time, I couldn't open my eyes, the light outside was very strong, my grandmother had left for some time, I stretched out my hand and was about to wipe my face, but I found that my wrists were covered with fine black scales.
I was stunned by this discovery, and I didn't come back to my senses for a while.
My dad had the same scales on his body.
I was so frightened that I almost cried, and I fell out of bed to the floor, and there was a sound in the emptiness of the house, but there was no response. I stumbled out the door, only to find that at some point, my grandfather was gone, and my grandmother was nowhere to be found.
My mother was the only one guarding the door, and the chopping board in front of her had cracked, but my mother's movements still did not stop, and she smashed on the chopping board that was about to turn into sawdust.
I swallowed my saliva and called out weakly.
My mother's eyes widened indifferently, glanced in my direction, and then she fell backwards.
I was startled and hurriedly went up to help, there were many villagers around, but they all watched coldly, and none of them stepped forward to help.
I couldn't carry my mother alone, and after a long time, Qin Sanye came over and greeted the villagers watching the play next to him: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Quickly carry the person in. ”
Qin Sanye is still very prestigious, and the villagers who were originally indifferent to watching the play also came to their senses at this time, and hurriedly sent my mother into the house.
After drinking the hot water, my mother fainted while lying on the bed.
I was at a loss, as an old Chinese medicine doctor, Qin Sanye checked it, and said with some relief: "It's just that I'm tired, what about your grandfather?" ”
I shook my head blankly.
Qin Sanye touched my face: "Did anything happen yesterday?" ”
I thought of the black scales on my wrist, but when I wanted to speak, I stopped abruptly, and I shook my head at Qin Sanye.
Qin Sanye breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it seems that it's okay." You take care of your mother, I'll go out to find your grandfather. ”
I nodded.
I didn't think about waiting for a day.
During this time, I fed my mother water, and my father's body was still in the hall, covered with only a white cloth, and nothing else. The house was leaking everywhere, and it was blowing a cloudy wind, and I shivered with the cold.
I didn't dare to go to the hall, my father's appearance scared me, and I was scared at the thought that I was now like my father, with black scales.
Qin Sanye found a heavy black coffin, and in the afternoon, he beckoned a few villagers and put my father into the black coffin. He also said that he didn't find my grandfather, and told me to stay at home for the past two days.
As for the white coffin placed in front of my house, the material is very strange, although it is translucent, it looks relatively light. But no one could shake it, and the white coffins seemed to grow on the ground, and they couldn't move at all.
In the evening, as I snuggled up to my mother's side, I saw the sound of gongs and drums not far away, and the sound suddenly appeared and startled me.
When I went out, I saw a group of villagers gathered at the door. The villagers were dressed in white paper clothes, and they looked weird.
