Chapter 5: Here She Comes
On the third night after Hong Yan's death, I summoned her according to the customs of the village.
I inserted the soul-attracting incense in the four corners of the villa, Hong Xin and Hong Wei burned paper at the gate, and then put the exquisite dishes in front of the offering table in the mourning hall.
At eleven forty-five, the soul-attracting incense in the west was extinguished, and everyone held their breath and didn't dare to make a sound, although they couldn't see it, but I could feel the sudden gloom around me, and the soul of Hong Yan had returned?
The time for the departed soul to dine is about half an hour, during this period, no one is allowed to easily break into the mourning hall to disturb the deceased, the filial children will kneel outside, and the unfilial ones will be outside the mobile phone, Hong Wei and Hong Xin obviously belong to the latter, and they will be buried tomorrow, let me find a feng shui treasure for burial.
It can be seen that if it weren't for the "corpse change", how could the two children of the Hong family honestly keep the spirit, or be a mother who understands her children, and threatens them with nightmares to "fulfill their filial piety", which is really sad to say.
While waiting, I had a little urgency to urinate, and as a "master", I definitely couldn't let people see open urine, so I went around to the back door of the villa to release super nutrient minerals.
There is a floor-to-ceiling window at the back door of the villa, the curtains are not tightened, and you can see the mourning hall inside through the crack.
"Someone's in there?" I forcibly collected my pee, took a few steps forward, and reached my face to the window to take a closer look.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound exploded in my ears, and a black palm slapped coldly on the inner glass, my little heart, pounding with fright, almost screaming.
"Whew~"
The curtains were closed, I couldn't see anything, and walked back to the main entrance, Hong Wei and Hong Xin were still in the old place, seeing my abnormal appearance and asking me what was wrong, I told them what happened just now, they said that they had been guarding the door, it was impossible for anyone to go in, and Er Mazi was also under their noses, and there was no time and no reason to run to make trouble.
"Will it be a thief?" Hong Wei suddenly remembered that there were a lot of valuable gold and silver jewelry in the house, which were Hong Yan's relics, and he originally wanted to use them as funeral goods, but it would be bad if they were stolen by thieves.
"Let's go in and have a look." I secretly touched the telescopic electric baton hidden in my waist, and I always felt that things were not so simple.
The mourning hall was so big that it could be seen at a glance, and there was not even a ghost shadow, but the curtains were indeed closed.
"Are you hiding, let's look for it separately."
"Wait a minute." I stopped Hong Wei and gave him a look, and he glanced at the offering table and didn't squeak again.
The dishes and chopsticks on the table had obviously been tampered with, and there were still some sparse fish bones left in them, and it was impossible for the thief to come and eat the fish.
"Wildcats, perhaps." Er Mazi comforted himself, but I couldn't help but feel anxious in my heart, maybe the cat raised by Hong Yan has become a spirit, and then boldly speculate that the cat that has become a spirit may "live" in Hong Yan's belly!
Damn, it's a little scary!
I set my eyes on the corpse on the spiritual bed, Hong Yan was lying there quietly, she had been dead for three days and there was no obvious change, and even gave people the illusion that she was just asleep.
"Okay, don't think about it, it's almost time, it's time to send my aunt away." I looked at my watch, it had been nearly an hour, I hadn't slept well during the day, I was already sleepy, so I asked Hong Wei and Hong Xin to burn paper and bow down, and then bring the incense burner to the door, kowtow in the direction of the west, where to send it away.
After the incident, I was going to let Er Mazi send me back, and I looked for a long time before I saw him walk out of the mourning hall slowly, I asked him what he was doing, he didn't speak, he rubbed his head and said that he was very tired, and wanted to take a break, I muttered in my heart, this kid was still alive and well, and he was tired when he said he was tired, and he was afraid that he needed to drink some wife's oral liquid.
Ermazi's car is a second-hand bread, which has poor performance, and the potholes on the rural roads make my ass hurt.
I almost fell asleep when I shook and swayed.
Honggang Village is only ten minutes away from Qingyun Town, but he obviously drove more than that, I yawned and squinted to look out, a barren place, and realized that something was wrong: "You are driving in the wrong place, where are you going?" ”
Seeing that he didn't reply, I was a little angry, stretched my waist forward, and just wanted to pull his head with my hands, but I saw a strange scene first.
In the rearview mirror, Ermazi's eyelids are closed, and his face is numb.
"Driving to sleep, did you make a fucking mistake?" Seeing him take life as a child's play, I was furious, waved his hand and slapped his head, but I didn't expect him to suddenly stretch out his right hand and quickly grab my wrist, the speed is incredible, I haven't heard that this guy has practiced kung fu.
"Here we are." Er Mazi parked the car aside, turned his head, and suddenly opened his eyes.
The slightly convex eyeballs are bloodshot, round and bulging, sharp and full of evil energy, which ...... This is not the eyes of Ermako at all!
These eyes are completely consistent with Hong Yan's eyes when she was dead!
Niang Xipi, the ghost was not sent away at all, and the stupid lack of Ermazi was taken by the ghost!
"You...... I'm in a hurry to pee, so I'll go out first. "My body is a little weak, and my confidence is quite lacking, and I tried to open the door while talking, and my grandmother was a bear, and the car door was locked.
"Don't worry, I don't have the heart to harm you." Er Mazi's accent became yin and yang: "I don't have any opinion on you cheating my children out of money, but you have to help me do two things." ”
"Uncle...... Sister Hong, my little brother is at your disposal. "I've been bold since I was a child, and although I'm not scared of the six gods, I'm not much better.
"Er Mazi" nodded, pointing to the mountain not far away, I know this place, called the dead man's bag, it was originally a place used by the little devils to bury the corpse during the anti-Japanese period, it is said that this mountain is thousands of corpses and bones piled up, every late in the middle of the night there will be a woman's wail and a child's sob, the local villagers said that the mountain is full of ghosts, and you must not go in when it is dark, otherwise you will have to be unlucky for three months even if you don't die.
Due to its heavy sinister aura, in modern times, it has been used to bury some dead bodies who are reluctant to be cremated.
Hong Yan's first request asked me to bury her body in the east of the dead man's bag, and to plant locust trees on both sides of the grave, which was not difficult, but the second request made my hair stand upside down, she asked me to set up a mechanism on the coffin lid that could be opened from the inside, so that the nails on the coffin lid became a formality, what was her purpose in doing this, could it be that she still wanted to come out of it?
I didn't ask much, I nodded like a chicken pecking rice, seeing that Hong Yan didn't mean to embarrass me, I didn't suppress the curiosity in my heart, and asked her weakly: "Sister Hong, take the liberty of asking, what is your relationship with that white cat?" “
"Hehe, I'm actually ...... with it Someone's coming! Hong Yan didn't finish his words, Er Mazi's eyelids drooped, and his body leaned to the side weakly, a few seconds later, he grinned and shook his brain, looked at me stupidly, and asked me why I came here, seeing that his eyes returned to normal, thinking that Hong Yan should have left.
I hesitated, but I still didn't tell Er Mazi what happened just now, not out of concern, but because of this big mouth, if everyone knows it, I'm afraid it will anger Hong Yan.
found an excuse to prevaricate Ermazi, and when he reversed, an old face full of ravines was tightly attached to the door glass, and it looked extremely gloomy under the dim light.
", isn't this the village chief, what are you doing here at night, and you don't squeak, scaring my out." Er Mazi recognized the visitor at a glance, he is the village chief of Honggang Village, his surname is Hong, his name is also very down-to-earth, called Datou, he looks quite stumbling, he is an old man who can appear in ghost movies without makeup, but he has a good heart, and his reputation in the village and outside the village is quite good.
"It's the little doll of the Wang family." The village chief of Hong said hello to Er Mazi, he said that a few sheep were lost in the village at night, so he followed a few villagers to find this place along the traces, and he pointed to the light not far away, indicating that there were still people there.
"Isn't this the old Zhang boy?" The head of the red village looked abrupt, and heard that I was doing things for the Hong family, and advised me not to continue to work in this industry, saying that there is no blessing or disaster.
I don't know why, I always feel that something is wrong with the village chief, but I can't tell what is wrong, when he approaches, I can smell a faint fragrance, but it is very bad, a bit like the smell of flower wax.
Er Mazi said that he was sleepy and went to a fork in the road, and wanted to give him a ride but was politely refused, and the head of the red village said that this place is not very peaceful, so let's not come over again.
Exhausted, I came home and fell asleep, perhaps because of the strange events of the last few days, which led to a rare nightmare in which I was in a dimly lit basement next to a mahogany coffin with the cry of a baby.
I couldn't hold back my curiosity, opened the coffin, and vaguely saw a well-preserved corpse, and looked at it, isn't this Hong Yan?
The difference is that Hong Yan's belly is no longer swollen, it has been deflated and is no different from ordinary people, just when I was wondering where the sound came from, my head sank, as if something had fallen on it, I reached out and grabbed it, and touched a ball of pork belly-like things, when I tore hard, there was a sharp pain in the scalp, as if there was a hook-like thing pierced into my skull, I pulled hard, but I didn't expect to directly pull off a piece of bloody Huzla's meat, I looked up and saw a distorted cat face, It stared at me fiercely with a pair of blood-colored vertical pupils.
Before I could make any further movements, it opened its mouth and stuck out a barbled tongue into my eyeball......
