Chapter 2 The Paper Man Wakes the Spirit
Several people stepped forward to help, and with this move, a large pool of blood flowed out from under the new daughter-in-law's brain, and the dried bamboo leaves below were dyed red.
The sharp bamboo stubble poked into the skull, and the new daughter-in-law was angry on the spot.
This frightened a lot of people, and a few timid girls ran away, and everyone knew that there was a big mistake in this happy event, and if they committed a happy crime, they were afraid that they would be in big trouble.
Seeing this, my aunt was also so frightened that she sat on the ground and couldn't say anything for a long time.
Brother Hanzi was most afraid of seeing blood, and he was sweating and smirking just now, but he was also scared at this time.
Once this kind of thing happened, I didn't know what to do, so Captain Ma sent people to divide into two ways, one to call my grandfather, and the other to call the barefoot doctor Niu Rhubarb in the village.
As soon as she finished giving the order, my eldest mother suddenly got up from the ground and ran towards her new daughter-in-law.
She didn't think the new daughter-in-law was pitiful, but kicked her a few times, and a few people next to her stopped her.
The deceased is the greatest, and the eldest mother's approach is inappropriate, and no one can look past it.
Before she stopped, the eldest lady scolded in her mouth: "Short-lived slut, if you want to die early death of your turtle grandson, you have to die here ...... old lady."
Uncle stood there and didn't dare to say a word, my face was a little unbearable, after all, it was the Lin family. The more I said that, the more ugly it became, I couldn't listen to it, and said, "Auntie, my sister-in-law has fallen like that, how can you still say such things?" ”
"Who is your sister-in-law? The plug has nothing to do with this short-lived slut! ”
The eldest mother's unreasonable energy came up, which was simply unreasonable.
Everyone is gone, my aunt has made such a fuss again, there is a lot of noise here, and no one dares to provoke my aunt. Anyway, my grandfather and Niu Rhubarb also came.
Niu Rhubarb hurriedly passed, his fingers trembled slightly, and his face turned white when he touched his pulse.
"This ...... The people are gone, so let's get ready for the future! ”
Grandpa didn't speak, with a black face, obviously already knew what was going on, and gave the eldest mother a big ear scraper in the past. The eldest mother was spicy, but my grandfather was angry, and she was also frightened, covering her face and crying, not daring to say anything more.
Then, my grandfather turned back to me and said, "Lin Yi, go and do me a favor, and carry your sister-in-law back first!" ”
I was stunned, someone died, shouldn't I call the police? Moreover, since I was a child, my grandfather warned me to stay away from this kind of thing, and this time, my grandfather asked me to go over and carry the corpse, is this really appropriate?
"Grandpa, shall I carry it?" I was confused, and I was really scared.
"That's right!"
Grandpa didn't have a superfluous explanation, and there was no doubt about it.
Although I didn't understand my grandfather's intentions, he asked me to do it, and I had no reason to refuse. I nodded, and the second fat also came to help, and he said in a low voice, "Old ...... Don't be afraid, boss, I'm with you! ”
I glanced at him and just nodded awkwardly.
The new daughter-in-law is gone, and the wedding banquet of the uncle's family has also been replaced by a mourning hall, and my aunt still does not give up, saying that the woman has not entered at all, not counting the people of the Lin family, find a place to dig a pit on the north slope, and bury it casually, what kind of spiritual shed, the short-lived cheap cats and dogs are not as good, and they are not worthy at all.
But everyone understands that to a large extent, the new daughter-in-law was killed by my eldest mother, and if she calls the police, I am afraid that she will be sentenced to manslaughter. Now that she has said this kind of thing again, everyone says that my aunt is doing things like this, and it is not a thing.
In the end, there was no way, although the eldest mother was difficult, but she also wanted face, and she was even more afraid of going to prison, so she had to compromise, so she built a spiritual shed outside.
It is also true that people who die are not allowed to be admitted to the hospital.
Since it is a spiritual watchman, there must be a spiritual watchman, and the deceased is my cousin's daughter-in-law, although she has not really passed through the door, but the cause and effect are already there. Grandpa said that the purpose of the wake-up is to enable the deceased to find their way home, and only after returning home can they be reincarnated. If you can't go back, you can only wander in the place where you died, and if you are a wandering ghost, you will become a powerful ghost.
The person who guards the spirit must be a person of cause and effect in order to play a guiding role, and should be the descendant or partner of the deceased.
The only candidate is my cousin, but he is a fool, he doesn't go to discuss anything, he is afraid of death.
In the end, my grandfather and uncle quietly carried my aunt behind their backs and tied up my cousin. First, it is to keep the spirit, and secondly, it can be regarded as atoning for their mother and son, after all, people are killed by my eldest mother and bolt.
If you rush to the joy, the small can be turned into a big one, and the consequences may be unimaginable.
By the next day, when it was not dawn.
There was a clanging on my door, and there were people shouting.
My grandfather opened the door and went out to take a look, and found that my uncle and aunt were kneeling at the door of my house, and my grandfather asked, "What's the matter?" Hurry up and speak! ”
My aunt cried, crying and talking.
It turned out that the uncle had a soft mouth and couldn't hide it from the eldest mother. Brother Hanzi has been crying and screaming in the spirit shed last night, and my aunt couldn't bear it, so she secretly let Brother Hanzi go.
Not long after I went back, Brother Hanzi began to have a high fever that did not go away, and kept talking nonsense, saying that he was sorry for Xiang'er, he deserved to die, and he also pinched his neck by himself, he rolled his eyes just now, and his neck was also pinched. At this time, Brother Hanzi was still tied to the bed at home, and my aunt thought that this must be my sister-in-law's fault, so she had to come over and beg my grandfather.
Grandpa didn't say a word, so he followed him to the uncle's house.
Before leaving, he also assigned me a task and told me to go to the spirit shed to take a look and see if there was anything abnormal.
It was early in the morning, and it was deserted on the other side of the mourning shed.
This place, even during the day, no one wants to approach it, which is unlucky.
I gritted my teeth and looked over, and the white cloth covering the corpse fell to the ground. The new daughter-in-law was still wearing a red bridal outfit, with a red hijab on her face, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly. My aunt didn't even prepare a shroud for her cousin-in-law, so she wore such a wedding dress and lay on the funeral bed, which looked weird and scary.
I didn't dare to think about it, so I started to cover it with a white cloth, put on the incense again, adjusted the lampshade of the lantern, added some lamp oil, and immediately left the mourning hall.
When I got home, my grandfather went back to the house, and he said that Hanzi was fine, but he was a little frightened, and he had already drunk the charm water, and there would be no problem when he woke up.
As I finished speaking, my grandfather suddenly stared at me again.
I was stared at by my grandfather's eyes, and I unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat, so I hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong?" ”
"Oh...... It's nothing, Lin Yi, in a few days......" Grandpa was halfway through his words, and suddenly there was a big reversal, saying, "Come, pull a few hairs for me!" ”
"Hair?"
"That's right, it's hair."
I don't know what my grandfather is going to do, and I don't ask much, he will never hurt me. So, I didn't think much about it, and plucked a few hairs and gave them to him. For most of the day, Grandpa locked himself in the house, and when he came out, he had a vivid paper figure in his hand.
I don't know if it's my delusion, I think that paper figure looks like me.
I asked casually, and my grandfather explained: "Brother Hanzi is determined to be unable to go over there, and there can't be no one over there, so let it go over and replace it for a while." ”
Paper man wake?
It's a bit of a surprise.
Although grandpa's words are light, but looking at that paper man, my heart is weird, grandpa is a paper man watchman, why did he take my hair?
I couldn't help but be curious, and secretly followed, and saw an even stranger scene.
Grandpa didn't just put the paper figure in the mourning shed to guard the spirit, but lifted the white cloth on the sister-in-law's body, stuffed the paper figure into the sister-in-law's arms, and then covered the white cloth again.
That's kind of ......
Paper people share the same bed with their cousins?
I was taken aback, almost startled, and said to myself, what is Grandpa doing here?
Since my grandfather made a paper figure out of my hair, this matter must have something to do with me. After putting the paper figure away, Grandpa looked around, as if he was worried about being seen by others, and I was worried about breaking Grandpa's secret, so I hurriedly hid behind the big tree.
When my grandfather was gone, I came out from behind the tree, and I didn't dare to go to the funeral shed to check again, so I went home.
Along the way, I felt very awkward.
When I got home, my grandfather asked me where I went, and I said that I was going to play with Erfat.
Grandpa deliberately emphasized: "It's best not to go out these days, your sister-in-law's affairs are a little troublesome, don't bring bad luck to other families." ”
I nodded and said I know, the village has this exquisiteness, and those who have funerals at home can't enter other people's homes, which will bring bad luck and harm others, grandpa's words are understandable.
However, when the story of the paper piercing man came to my lips, I swallowed it back.
In the whole village, I didn't know who to ask except my grandfather who knew about this kind of thing. Er Fat came to me in the afternoon, and when the two of them were chatting, I casually asked: "Er Fat, you said that you would get another paper figure next to the dead man and share the same bed, do we have such a saying in this place?" ”
The second fat brows frowned, this thing has a lot of strength, but the guts are not fat enough, mentioning this, plus the matter of my cousin-in-law, his face was a little pale, and he immediately asked me: "Boss, what are you doing with this?" ”
"It's nothing, I'll just ask casually."
"This ...... I really haven't heard of it......" Er Fat said this, and suddenly, he looked at me, his eyes widened, obviously thinking of something, I immediately asked him.
After a while, Er Fat wiped the fine beads of cold sweat on his forehead, took a deep breath, and whispered: "Boss, I just remembered it, I've really heard of that kind of thing,, I heard what Ma Er's kid from Dongwa Village said before." Get a paper man and bury the dead together, Ma Er's kid said that it was called a yin marriage, he saw that his grandfather had got it for another family, I don't know if it's true. ”
I know the lame man, the people from Dongwa Village next to him, this person can pinch and calculate, when he was young, he didn't get the detonator under the road repair, he blew up his leg, and his eyes were blinded. However, I heard my grandfather say that this man's path is not very clean.
Having said that, my grandfather used my hair to make a paper figure, could it really be a yin marriage? I'm living well, why would he do this?
The brain was messed up, the second fat shouted at me a few times, I didn't hear it, and after a while, I came back to my senses, and the second fat asked me if I was okay?
I said it's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night, and I'm a little sleepy.
That night, I didn't hear the howl of the night wind outside the window, but everything was calm and dumb.
I slept late without a dream, but I also slept soundly.
Early in the morning, my grandfather came to my house in a hurry and asked me expectantly, did you have a dream last night?
I had just woken up, and my grandfather suddenly asked such a question, which made me a little confused. After a few seconds, I rubbed my eyes, thought for a moment, and I said no.
"No, why didn't you dream?" Grandpa frowned, groaned, and then asked, "Are you sure?" Lin Yi, grandpa is from here, and you are about to grow up, so there is nothing to be ashamed of! ”
I smiled wryly, shook my head, and said I really didn't dream last night.
Grandpa sat on the edge of the bed, lit a cigarette, smoked, and seemed to have something to offer. Looking at the strange and slightly lost look on his face, I asked, "Grandpa, what should I have dreamed about last night?" ”
