Chapter 75: Parental Persuasion
It's no wonder that my mother is afraid, this kind of thing often happens in rural areas.
For example, if someone dies in a family and plans to choose a day to be buried, he happened to find a half-hung Mr. Yin and Yang, and the day was not calculated by him, and he committed some taboos, and there will be a situation of defrauding the corpse.
Of course, this is just the most ordinary corpse, if the corpse is covered with white hair all over its body, and fangs come out of its mouth, in the words of rural people, it is said that this corpse has a climate and has become a sperm, and it will soon open its mouth to bite people.
Therefore, at that time, there were basically one or two cases of corpse fraud in any village, and even corpse biting also occurred.
Because at that time, most of the dead people in the countryside were buried, and there was no such thing as cremation now.
After all, in the hearts of people at that time, the general idea was that after death, a whole corpse should be left, how can it be said that it will be burned, and the dead are the greatest.
Even in the countryside in modern times, whoever dies is not willing to transport it to the crematorium to burn, but buries it secretly, one is to save a large amount of money for cremation, and the other is to spread among the people, so that the burial will be good for the feng shui of the family and can bless future generations.
But if the news leaks and someone reports it, the above will severely punish the family and force them to transport the body to the crematorium for burning.
The benefits of this are twofold.
First, to prevent the corpse from being buried in the earth, once it decomposes, the plague spreads wantonly.
Second, to prevent the corpse from happening to be buried in the place where the corpse is raised, the corpse will not decompose, and the corpse fraud will break out, which will disturb people's hearts.
Therefore, in modern times, it is rare to hear the occurrence of corpse fraud, after all, now cremation has formed a general trend, and you are pushed into the corpse refining furnace to be burned to ashes, what else can you resist corpse fraud? Right?
Okay, that's a bit far, let's get back to business.
Although my mother has not seen the real corpse with her own eyes, she has heard about the Tao and heard folk rumors, and she still knows a little bit about this.
When she heard that there was a white-haired monster in the village, how could she not worry about my life, and she must have tried hard to persuade me.
However, when my mother had just finished speaking, before I could explain anything to her, my father was not happy when he heard her words from this woman.
"Double Happiness is a Taoist learner, and what he eats is the bowl of rice of Taoism, and it is his job to subdue demons and eliminate demons." My dad rolled his eyelids up, gave my mother a blank look, and said: "Besides, this white-haired monster is making a fuss, and the first scourge is our Daliu Village, and there are more than 100 people in the entire village, you let Shuangxi sit idly by?" So what kind of Taoism did he learn? ”
"I didn't agree with Xi'er to go to the back mountain to learn the Tao, you didn't listen to me, you look at it now, whatever danger and evil things are encountered in the village, Xi'er has to rush forward." My mother felt a little aggrieved in her heart, glanced at my father with resentment, tears rolled in her eyes, and she began to cry and say: "If our son has three longs and two shorts, Li Guohua, will you let me live for the rest of my life?" ”
"Cry, cry, cry, how do you know how to cry?" My dad looked impatient and said, "Tomorrow Shuangxi will go up the mountain to find the white-haired monster, I will follow him, and I will protect him by my side, you should rest assured, right?" ”
"What's the use of you going to top? Do you know the Dharma? I also dragged an oil bottle when I went, and I couldn't help it, and I had to drag down Double Happiness if I didn't get it right. My mom's eyes were red and she couldn't stop crying and shouted to my dad.
My dad widened his eyes, raised his slap and slapped the table, knocking on the surface, and also opened his throat and shouted: "Stinky girl, human life is at stake, this can't work, that can't work, what do you want?" ”
I was noisy by them for a while, and when I saw that the two of them were talking and talking, they were about to start their hands if they didn't agree with each other, and immediately their faces sank, and they put the rice bowl on the table with a "pop".
"Have you two quarreled enough, I wanted to go home and have a good meal, but as soon as you come back, you two will quarrel, if this continues, I won't go home in the future." I said with a look of displeasure on my face.
My mother pinched the sleeves of her clothes, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and still pleaded with me: "Xi'er, it's not that my mother has to quarrel with your father, what my mother said is for your good, you just listen to your mother's advice, tomorrow we can't go to the white-haired monster, if you can't fight it, what can you do if you hurt yourself, Mom is just your son." ”
"You, a woman, are really angry with me, Shuangxi's life is important, but the lives of the people in our village are not important?" My dad pointed at my mom and shouted, and then said to me: "Double happiness, tomorrow my dad will follow you, you can boldly do it with that white-haired monster, what kind of moth can a dead corpse turn out?" I don't believe that the one hundred and eighty people in the village can't be right to a dead person? ”
My mother's face was anxious, and she quickly interjected: "Li Guohua, you have to go by yourself, don't bring my family Xi'er." ”
I was really afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, so I sighed and said, "Mom, okay, don't quarrel with my father, I have already sent a letter to my master, I guess he will be able to return tomorrow, and when he arrives, he will take action to clean up the white stiff matter, don't worry." ”
After saying this, I said to my dad again: "I don't need you to go to find Bai Zhuang, my mother is right, you don't know the Tao, and it's in the way if you go, when the time comes, how can I have the strength to withdraw my hand and take care of you." ”
"But ......"
"Don't do it, you two, don't persuade me, hurry up and eat obediently."
My parents hesitated, and then wanted to say something, so they directly asked me to say a word: "If you two are persuading me, I won't eat this meal, I'll leave now, and I'll never go home." ”
In the end, I was afraid that what I said would hurt their hearts, so I said to the two of them with a pleasant face: "Dad, Mom, Master said that I was born to be a Taoist priest, I can't ignore this matter, you have to understand me." ”
The words have been said to this point, my parents finally didn't dare to persuade me, immediately obediently closed their mouths, each sighed, and picked up the chopsticks with a sad face to pick up the rice in their bowls.
However, that bowl of rice was really tasteless for the two of them.
After eating this dinner in silence, I tidied up the cloth bag containing the ritual utensils, and ran to the yard to dig out a two-meter-long bamboo pole.
This bamboo pole is usually used by my mother to dry clothes, I grabbed it in my hand and weighed it, it was okay, the toughness and length were enough, and it was the best to deal with white zombies.
After cleaning up this, I asked the two of them to close the door and stay in the house honestly, and finally, under their worried eyes, I hurried in the direction of the village committee in the night.
