002 Coughing up blood
My father pulled me and knelt in front of Zhang Qiyun, "Ask the old man for help!" "I just listened to my father and got on my knees.
Zhang Qiyun came over and helped my father and me up, and then said in a calm tone: "I do my best, whether I can save my life depends on the will of God!" After speaking, Zhang Qiyun put the black box he was carrying on the table beside him, quickly took out paper and pen from the black box, and then began to write a letter.
As he wrote a letter, he said to his father: "The golden furnace is a brazier, and the jade lamp is a bronze lamp!" The brazier must be passed down for three generations, more than 100 years old, this needs to be you find! There's one in this town! When he said this, he had already written the letter, he read the letter he had written, quickly folded it and handed it to his father, and said: "The bronze lamp must be a lamp in front of the Buddha, at this moment this lamp is in the Erlang Temple next to the official road in Cangyang, the master of Qingyuan in the temple is a close friend of me, you ask someone to send this letter, Master Qingyuan will naturally borrow the bronze lamp!" Without further ado, hurry up! ”
When Zhang Qiyun's arrangement was over, his father turned around and trotted outside. Zhang Qiyun looked at me and said, "I will try my best to save you, but whether you can live or not depends on your creation!" ”
I nodded, grateful. When Zhang Qiyun entered the door, I didn't have a good impression of him, and I was sarcastic, but he was not surprised at all and did his best to help me, which made me very grateful. I wanted to say thank you, but before I could speak, he had already turned around and placed an incense burner in front of my grandmother's coffin, then quickly lit a stick of incense, bowed, and inserted the incense into the incense burner. Green smoke rose, and soon, the entire mourning hall began to smoke up.
I brought a chair for Zhang Qiyun and asked him to take a seat. Zhang Qiyun acted as if he had never heard me speak, and at this moment he was staring at the incense burner.
The three incense sticks are one column, and the three incense sticks are lit at the same time, and the middle pillar seems to burn extremely fast.
"People are afraid of three long and two short, and incense is afraid of two long and one long! Something is not quite right! Zhang Qiyun whispered.
Just as his words fell, there was a sudden "whirring" of wind around him. A strange wind swept in from the outside, running through the middle hall.
In an instant, the surrounding light quickly dimmed, the lantern in front of the coffin was extinguished instantly, the incense in the incense burner was rolled up, and the entire mourning hall became smoky and hazy in an instant.
At the same time, a white shadow floated up directly from the coffin, a white cloth covering the grandmother's body. The floating white cloth seemed to come alive, and it came straight to it, like teeth and claws.
I was so frightened that my whole body trembled, my legs stiffened, and I couldn't move. Seeing that the white cloth was about to come to me, a hand reached out from the side and grabbed the white cloth.
I felt a white cloth fly against my door with a strong gust of wind, followed by a loud bang behind me.
I trembled all over, and hurriedly turned my head to look, and saw that the chair I had moved over to let Zhang Qiyun sit on had fallen to the ground.
My heart trembled, and I turned my head to look at Zhang Qiyun beside me, and saw that he was holding the piece of white cloth in his hand, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and his face was solemn. He handed me the white cloth in his hand, looked around vigilantly, and said in a calm tone, "You go and put the white cloth back on!" ”
After taking the white cloth, my palms were full of sweat, I took a deep breath, held the white cloth tightly, and walked to the side of the coffin with difficult steps.
Inside the coffin lies my grandmother, who loves my grandmother the most. I glanced down at her.
Grandma lying inside the coffin, with a pair of gray-white eyes. When I looked at her again, I felt those eyes looking at me too.
I felt beads of sweat rolling down my forehead, I quickly wiped it with my cuffs, and said to my grandmother tremblingly, "Grandma...... You, don't scare me! ”
With that, I gently put a white cloth over my grandmother's face, then smoothed it out and spread it on top.
I couldn't see my grandmother's dead appearance, my heart calmed down a little, and I wiped the sweat from my face vigorously.
I turned around to leave, suddenly my left wrist was cold, as if I had been caught by something, I looked down, and in an instant, my brain roared, and my whole body was cold, and I almost fainted in an instant.
Grandma's hand grabbed the wrist of my left hand.
I wanted to shout loudly, but the voice that came out almost with all my strength was not loud: "Mr. Zhang......"
Zhang Qiyun jumped directly in front of me almost like an arrow off the string, and generally tore my grandmother's hand away from my wrist.
At this moment, the white cloth I had just put on my grandmother's face flew again......
Zhang Qiyun was extremely fast, and grabbed the white cloth. In the midst of the fluttering white cloth, I saw my grandmother's gray-white eyes like dead fish.
When I was looking at her, it was as if he was looking at me too...... It was as if I had been struck by lightning, and my blood was cold.
Zhang Qiyun generally put the white cloth on his grandmother's corpse again, his face was solemn, and he said in a heavy tone: "I wanted to wait until tomorrow to be cremated, but it looks like I'm going to do it tonight!" ”
Even though my grandmother looked very scary, I still didn't want her to be cremated so soon, but I didn't say what I thought. I know that at this time, I have to listen to Zhang Qiyun.
Soon, Zhang Qiyun called eight people in, and he ordered everyone to move his grandmother's body out of the coffin, then wrap it in a roll of straw mats, and trap it with a rope.
I watched my grandmother being tied up with five flowers, and secretly said in my heart: "Grandma, I hope you can be fine in another world!" ”
"Changshan, you can't follow!" Zhang Qiyun looked at me and said, "Not only can you not follow, but you have to lie in the coffin to save your life!" ”
I looked at Zhang Qiyun's serious gaze and couldn't say a word.
"It's more complicated than I thought!" Zhang Qiyun said a word, turned around and took out a stack of yellow paper from the black box on the table, then spread the yellow paper in the coffin, and then sprinkled a circle of cinnabar on the ground, and then he said to me in an unquestionable tone:
"Lie in! I don't call you, you can't come out! ”
I nodded, knelt in front of my grandmother's corpse and kowtowed three times, "Grandma, go all the way, my grandson is not good, I can't send your old man on his last journey!" ”
I got up and climbed into the coffin to lie down according to Zhang Qiyun's request. Zhang Qiyun stood next to the coffin and looked at me, and said: "The body was sent to the foot of the sedan chair for cremation, for safety, I have to go in person, it is estimated that I will come back in an hour, you remember, I don't call you, you can't come out!" ”
I nodded heavily and wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes.
"It's surrounded by cinnabar, and it's yellow paper, as long as you don't encounter the breath of blood and light, you'll be fine! Don't be afraid! Zhang Qiyun instructed again.
I still nodded, and the whole person lay on his back in the coffin.
Zhang Qiyun left my sight, and then I heard him shouting loudly: "The undead are on the road, the living are avoided, the mourner Zhang Qiyun!" Then there was the sound of bells, and the footsteps and bells faded away, and after a moment I could no longer hear them.
I was lying in the coffin, and the air was filled with the smell of wood and incense, which was not unpleasant. I started thinking about grandma. The grandmother who loves me in the world is gone forever. When I think about this, I can't stop crying.
I felt a cold wind blowing over me, and the cold wind penetrated into my bones, and I couldn't help but shiver all over, and my chest immediately became stuffy, and my throat began to itch, and then I coughed.
It's my old problem, and I won't stop coughing, as if my heart and lungs are going to cough out. This time it seems to be stronger than the previous ones.
The violent cough made my whole body tremble, and my body felt as if it had been evacuated. I clutched my chest, only to feel a sweet throat, and suddenly a hot current gushed out.
I covered my mouth with my hand at once, and there was a burst of warmth on my palm, and when I looked up, it was full of blood......
I was taken aback, so I grabbed the yellow paper under me and wiped it.
"Vomited blood...... I remember it was the first time I vomited blood...... It seems that I will not live long......" I looked at the blood on my palms, and my heart was sad and I fell into despair.
I was lying in a coffin like a dead body, motionless. I don't know how long it took for me to hear a voice calling out to me:
"Changshan, Changshan......"
