Volume 1: Entering the Industry Chapter 20: Funeral Taboos
Du Yang drove back from the city in a car, and rushed towards the mourning hall as soon as he got out of the car. His eyes were red, and he looked like he had cried on the way back.
As soon as he arrived at the mourning hall, he watched his mother enter the coffin. At that moment, like a roaring beast, he rushed to the coffin.
If it hadn't been for the coffin bearer who stopped him, he would have rushed into the coffin and hugged Aunt Li.
Someone advised him not to be so impulsive, the crystal coffin was sent from the funeral home, and I don't know how many dead people have been lying in it, in case it is contaminated with evil spirit, it is not good for the living.
After Du Yang was persuaded to stop, he knelt in front of the crystal coffin, tears fell from his eyes, and he made a whimpering sob, and his hoarse wail echoed throughout the mourning hall.
When the elders in the village saw Du Yang's uncontrollable emotions, they all came over to comfort him in distress.
And I picked up the forgotten transfer necklace on the ground, and found that the reaction of the dragon ruler was getting bigger and bigger. I frowned, put away the necklace, and called Uncle Ghost when I left Du Yang's house.
When Uncle Ghost picked up the phone, he happily asked me if I wanted to pick up the goods from him again.
I coldly asked him if there was a problem with the transfer necklace that was given to me alone. How could there be abnormal energy on this, and the reaction of the dragon ruler was already so big.
Uncle Ghost smiled and said, "Brother Chen, the transfer necklace I got you works pretty well, right?" That's what I've picked for you. ”
I took a deep breath and said, "You're still embarrassed to laugh?" That's what I brought to my neighbor, who died suddenly today. Tell me honestly, is there something wrong with that transit necklace? ”
Uncle Ghost was a little shocked when he heard this, and shouted that he was wronged. He said he could swear there was absolutely nothing wrong with the goods he got for me. At first, he thought I wanted to use it, so he brought me a necklace with a relatively more domineering effect. He didn't expect me to bring it to someone else.
Uncle Ghost said that he was self-defeating, but no matter how powerful the spirit in the transfer necklace was, it would not kill anyone. Aunt Li's death is indeed a bit strange, but this matter has absolutely nothing to do with his transfer necklace. And he can't hurt me, it won't do him any good, on the contrary, it's a huge loss.
Uncle Ghost has been explaining, although his explanations are reasonable, but I don't know why, I still vaguely feel in my heart that Aunt Li's death is inseparable from the transfer necklace in my hand.
Seeing Du Yang wearing linen and filial piety again, I felt very uncomfortable. If Aunt Li's death really had something to do with that necklace, I would feel a deep sense of guilt in my heart.
I comforted Du Yang a few words, and his whole person was like losing his soul, and he was a lot haggard.
According to the rules in the village, people must leave the mortuary at home for three days after death, and in order to prevent the body from decomposing, the crystal coffin will be brought from the funeral home.
During the three-day vigil, he knelt in the mourning hall every night and did not go to sleep until late at night, and the people in the village admired his perseverance. Uncle Mao and the fourth aunt both advised him to rest, but he insisted on staying in the mourning hall and not leaving.
By the third day, Du Yang's eyes were already full of red bloodshots, and his red eyes were cloudy, and the elders in the village were distressed, and they all privately praised Du Yang as a filial son.
In the afternoon, my parents asked me to go to the funeral with Du Yang, they said that Du Yang's child was so pitiful, let me comfort him.
I didn't say a word, so I joined the funeral team, followed Du Yang's side, and helped him do what I could.
Du Yang also stuffed me with a red envelope because of this, saying that this is the rule of the village, and the people in the funeral procession have a share. I'm glad that helping with the funeral can still have such benefits.
Du Yang held the portrait of Aunt Li in his hand, and I followed him into the hearse carrying the crystal coffin.
As soon as I got on the hearse, I felt cold all over my body and a chill down my spine. The hearse can only seat three people, the driver drives in front, and Du Yang and I sit in the back, as long as we turn around, we can see the crystal coffin.
As soon as we got into the car, the driver told him earnestly: "I'll be on the road for a while, don't look back." ”
His words were very serious, and Du Yang and I both nodded subconsciously. There is a saying about the funeral in the village, and the funeral must be selected at the appropriate time in the afternoon, otherwise if the funeral does not go well, everyone will be unlucky.
Some time ago, I heard my parents talk about an incident that happened in the village next door. A relative of a local tyrant's family passed away and went to the funeral, because he did not observe the time for the funeral, and he was in a hurry to catch up with the afternoon business, but the hearse overturned on the way to the funeral home. Later, not to mention the bankruptcy of the local tyrant's company, he also suffered a big lawsuit, and his wife and children ran away with others.
If this happens, people will call it a mold head. Therefore, no one dares to break those taboos in the village easily.
When it was time for the funeral, Du Yang hired a group of people who specialized in funeral weeping. When the crystal coffin was carried onto the hearse, those ghosts cried wolf, and after crying, they could get a sum of money, which is also a custom in the village.
The funeral procession was divided into two cars, the hearse was driven at the front, and the car followed by Du Yang's relatives and some elders in the village who often interacted with Aunt Li.
The funeral ceremony was very solemn, and the expressions on everyone's faces were very solemn, and some children were noisy and wanted to follow the funeral, but they would be rejected by their parents.
The old people in the village said that there must be no children in the funeral procession, because their physique is not fully developed, and it is easy to attract yin. The funeral home is also a place with heavy yin qi, and I am afraid that the child's body will not be able to withstand it. There have been cases of children being possessed by ghosts because of funerals.
Everyone prepared the things they needed for the funeral and got into the car one after another. As soon as the funeral procession enters the road, there will be people throwing paper money from time to time on the windows of both sides of the car behind, which is said to be used to guide the dead people.
When the hearse is driving on the road, they generally encounter some living people, and they will subconsciously avoid it, so as not to touch the moldy head.
When I was about to get to the funeral home, I remembered the taboo that the driver told me.
I knew that there were some taboos that I couldn't violate, but I preferred to be curious, so I couldn't help but turn back.
As a result, this turn has become a shadow in my life!
I saw Aunt Li's head pressed against the window, staring at a pair of dead fish eyes, which frightened me and quickly turned my head back!!
At that moment, a chill suddenly invaded my back, my body suddenly felt very tired, my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn't lift them, the feeling was like being drunk, and the whole person was like a dream.
I suddenly felt my body jerk, and a large truck came in front of me and slammed into the hearse.
I didn't have time to exclaim, but my eyes went dark......
