Chapter 402: The Wake Shed
Wulin Chinese Network ., the fastest update of the latest chapter of the seventies Xiaoxing!
Although according to the regulations, only men can guard the mourning shed, but people who really don't have sons and nephews will make an exception for their daughters and granddaughters to guard it.
Since the nephews and nephews of the third grandmother are unwilling, she can only guard it, and she can't let the oil lamp go out, so that the third grandmother can't come back to see the last look.
"But you're still pregnant, what if you freeze! The third grandmother definitely doesn't want to see you sick because of this. Li Pearl said disagreeingly.
"Don't worry, I'm in good health, I won't freeze, Yifan is waiting for you outside, you go back quickly, I'll be here at night!" Xie Xiaonian urged.
"But..."
"Don't do it, I must be here to guard, no matter how much you persuade me, I can't do it. Go back quickly, with such a big belly, you are not afraid of being tired! Xie Xiaonian said resolutely.
"Okay, then I'll ask Yifan to bring you a quilt later, and it will be warmer around the quilt." Li Pearl took a step back and said.
"No, there is a quilt for the third grandmother in the house, I'll just take a pair, you go back!" Xie Xiaonian urged.
"Well, then I'll go back, you pay attention to your body."
After the pearl left, only Xie Xiaonian was left in the entire courtyard.
She knelt on the bag containing wheat straw in front of the spirit, looked at the tablet of the third grandmother, guarded the dim kerosene lamp, and only felt peace.
The yard was finally no longer as noisy as during the day, and she was finally able to be alone with the third grandmother.
"Third grandma, have you seen your husband and son now, are you already reunited as a family, don't worry, those who rob you of things, I will definitely not let them go, I will also live well, and strive to help you live out your happiness."
"Have you also seen Xie Xiaonian himself now, you told her that I would live well on her behalf and help her repay those who were good to her."
"Good people have good rewards, you are so good, you will definitely be able to support a peaceful era in the next life, have a wealthy family, and live a happy life."
"I'm doing very well now, the loyal army is very good to me, the children are also very well-behaved, and I have made a lot of good friends in the army, I am very happy every day, and you can rest assured."
Xie Xiaonian, who didn't like to talk very much, just talked a lot like this, thinking of what to say, it felt like the third grandmother was still alive.
If someone approached at this time, they might be startled by Xie Xiaonian's divine words.
When Xie Xiaonian said that he was tired and said that he was enough, he took out a quilt from the cabinet in the third grandmother's bedroom, wrapped it around his body, and then knelt on the wheat straw bag again.
It's winter now, the north wind is howling, Xie Xiaonian is afraid that if he is not careful, a gust of wind will blow, blowing over the lantern cover outside the oil lamp, blowing out the oil lamp inside, so he has not dared to close his eyes and sleep.
In the middle of the night, when the two men who were helping to look at the food and vegetables came out to see if there was any oil in the oil lamp, they saw a man wrapped in a quilt in the mourning shed.
The two thought that it was the third grandmother's nephew's conscience who found out and came to guard the spirit again, but who knew that when they got closer, they found out that it was Xie Xiaonian.
"Xiao Nian girl, why are you guarding here?" One of the older ones, Xie Shugen, asked in surprise.
"I saw that no one was guarding here, and I was afraid that the oil lamp would be blown out by the wind, so I kept watch here. Grandpa Shugen, Uncle Lei Zi, you go back to sleep, I'll just watch it here, tomorrow the third grandmother will be funeral, and I have to worry about and help the two of you. Xie Xiaonian said.
"You're a good boy, your third grandmother didn't see the wrong person, you should pay attention to yourself, don't freeze." Xie Shugen instructed.
"Oh, I see, go back to sleep." Xie Xiaonian said again.
"Are you afraid of yourself here, or we'll stay here with you." Xie Shugen said uneasily.
"It's okay, Grandpa Tree Root, I'm not afraid, and the third grandmother will definitely not scare me." Xie Xiaonian said affirmatively.
The third grandmother was so good to her, she believed that the third grandmother was reluctant to scare her.
If the third grandmother really showed up, Xie Xiaonian would only feel happy, so that she could see the third grandmother for the last time.
When she came back today, the coffin had been covered, and she didn't see the third grandmother.
"Okay, then we'll go back first." After speaking, Xie Shugen led Lei Zi back to the house, this winter, it was too cold outside.
Because of this incident, the whole village knew the next day that the nephews and nephews of the third grandmother ran home early last night, and the person who kept the spirit for the third grandmother was Xie Xiaonian.
Although everyone inevitably looks down on the nephews of the third grandmother, after all, it is someone else's business, and they can't say anything except for secretly scolding behind their backs, these families have no conscience.
Therefore, the seven little eyes on the clay pot that were to be thrown in front of the spirit when the spirit was raised, the elders and stewards of the village were in charge, and the three nephews of the third grandmother were drilled by Xie Xiaonian.
Throwing clay pots before the funeral is the rule on their side, commonly known as throwing pots.
On the morning of the funeral, the direct descendants of the deceased are required to drill seven small eyes with scissors in the clay pot, which represent the meaning of many sons and many blessings, driving away evil spirits and avoiding disasters.
It stands to reason that Xie Xiaonian is an outsider, and this kind of thing has no part in her.
But now Grandma Xie San's three nephews are too inauthentic, and Xie Xiaonian really treats herself as her own granddaughter, wearing linen and filial piety for Grandma Xie San, and guarding the funeral shed, so the elders and stewards in the village are in charge of letting Xie Xiaonian drill one.
This is the decision of the elders of the village, and the opposition of Grandma Xie San's three nephews is also invalid, unless they don't want to stay in the village anymore.
Since she knew that the third grandmother had died, she hadn't slept a day, plus the rush by train and the wake that didn't close her eyes last night, Xie Xiaonian was very sleepy.
I was afraid that I really wouldn't be able to hold on, so when I waited for more than 9 o'clock in the morning, when I was more idle, Xie Xiaonian took advantage of the few minutes to go to the toilet and ran to the space to make up for sleep.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, when the funeral was out, Xie Xiaonian, whose tears were about to dry, looked at the coffin carried out from the hall, and tears flowed out again, she really would never see the third grandmother again in the future.
The grave of the third grandmother is in the middle of her husband and son, and now the family of three can be regarded as reunited.
The rule on their side is that you can cry on the way to the funeral, but you must not shed tears when you come back, saying that it will bring bad luck home and make the deceased uneasy.
But Xie Xiaonian's tears couldn't be controlled at all, and kept flowing down, and in the end, she had no choice but to find something to do for herself and divert her attention.
At this time, all she can do is take revenge.
It just so happens that now that there are all kinds of people, it is convenient for her to take revenge.
Xie Xiaonian didn't think about killing them, since they drank the third grandmother's medicinal wine, which made their bodies so good and their complexions so good, then she took back their good complexion and good body.
Ever since Xie Xiaonian found out that she was always a villain and provoked some of the best, she developed all kinds of poisons for herself in the space.
The medicine she gave to these people today will be poisoned as long as it is sprinkled on the skin, and it will last for at least a month.
This medicine will make them unable to eat, unable to lift their strength, their physique will decline, and their complexion will become worse and worse, but the doctor will not be able to detect any symptoms.
Even if the effect of the medicine has passed, if you don't use good things to replenish your body, your body will not be able to recover as before.
The object of Xie Xiaonian's drug is the nephew and niece of the third grandmother, as well as her nephews and grandnephews.
And for those children, Xie Xiaonian didn't start, after all, they just listened to the elders.
"Xiao Nian, you go to my house to rest first, see that your eyes are swollen." After returning to the third grandmother's house, Li Zhuzhu, who was waiting there, said to Xie Xiaonian.
Li Zhuzhu's belly is already very big, so she didn't go to the cemetery when she went out of the funeral, after all, her belly is so big, it would be a matter if she accidentally bumped into it.
"No, the green onion is still waiting for me at home, I haven't seen her all day, and I don't know how she is at home." Xie Xiaonian refused.
And she just finished the funeral, and it was not appropriate to wear a filial piety to their house.
"Then I'll ask Yifan to borrow an ox cart from the team and let him send you." Li Pearl said with a retreat.
"No need, when my eldest brother came to burn paper yesterday, he said that he would pick me up today, I'll just wait a while, you've been tired for the past two days, hurry up and go home and rest."
"It's okay, I'm not tired. I'll stay here with you for a while, and when I'll send you away, I'll go back. Li Pearl said.
The two chatted for a while, and then saw the eldest brother coming over with an ox cart.
"I'll go back first, and I'll come back to see you later." After Xie Xiaonian got into the car, he said goodbye to Pearl.
"Mmmm, I'll go to see you when I have time, don't be too sad when you go back, take care of your body." Pearl took Xie Xiaonian's hand and reluctantly instructed.
"Well, I will, goodbye Pearl." Xie Xiaonian let go of his hand and waved his hand at the pearl and said.
Then he took the eldest brother's ox cart and left Xie Zhuang.
After going back, Xie Xiaonian also went back to his house directly, and did not go to his sister-in-law's house.
Li Suxin also knows the rules, and knows that Xiao Nian has dressed the third grandmother with full filial piety, and she can't go to other people's houses today, so when she saw that her man had already brought Xiao Nian back, she came over with green onions.
"Xiao Nian, I see that your face is not very good, or let me put the green onions here this afternoon, you can rest first, don't cook the dinner in the evening, I'll send it to you."
Li Suxin saw that Xie Xiaonian's face was a little pale, and his eyes were swollen like walnuts, so he said out loud.
