245.Chapter 245: The Empty Coffin (10)
There was a problem with the water, that was the first thought in my head, even though it was winter and the water temperature was a bit low. However, it will never be like this, which is beyond the natural phenomenon.
I didn't dare to hesitate, so I shouted to the villagers on the side: "Everyone pee in the river and drive away the 'Dragon King'." ”
Legend has it that the 'Dragon King' in the river hates the smell of urine the most, and the current phenomenon shows that it should be the 'Dragon King' who is causing trouble. That's why I shouted, of course, this is a legend, and I don't know what the truth is.
The villagers, hearing my shout, did not hesitate, took out their tools and urinated into the river.
Some things are so evil, as the urine flows into the river, strange things happen, first of all, the light shining on the surface of the river is reflected. Immediately afterwards, the 'tornado' inexplicably dispersed, leaving Wang Xi and his son struggling on the river.
When I saw this, my face was overjoyed, and I was ready to let the villagers jump into the river to save people. However, the river is too cold in winter, and no one wants to take off their clothes and go down to the river to save people.
Fortunately, at this time, Guo Fatzi and the stammering two came with a door panel on their backs, which was larger and thicker than ordinary wooden doors.
I didn't think about it so much, and immediately asked Guo Fatzi to tie the two door panels together, and then stood on the door panel and crossed in the direction of Wang Xi's father and son.
We were worried that Wang Xi's father and son would have an accident, and the speed of the stroke was very fast, but in less than 1 minute, they rowed to their sides, and the father and son's faces were frozen and blue, and their lips were black.
We took a lot of effort to save the father and son, and to my surprise, after saving the father and son, the body of the deceased was gone, so I asked Wang Xi's father, "Haven't you always held the body of the deceased?" How is it gone. ”
He was stunned for a moment and said, "It's strange, I saw that the bamboo raft was about to fall apart, and immediately held the old mother's body in my arms. ”
I took a deep breath and looked at the river with my flashlight, the dark river was calm, except for the sound of the water flowing or the sound of the water, there were no corpses.
At this time, Wang Xi's father and son were a little anxious, but they didn't speak, and plunged into the water, saying that they were looking for a corpse.
As an outsider, I can't say anything, scratching the wooden door, following behind them, and guarding against accidents.
After searching for about ten minutes, they searched the surrounding waters, but they didn't find the body of the deceased, so Wang Xi's father and son may have been unable to stand it, so they climbed up to the wooden door with a calm face.
"Dad, what now?" Wang Xi stretched out his hand and swept the somewhat wet hair on his forehead, and asked with a depressed expression.
"Rest for a while, keep looking, you must find your grandmother's body tonight." His father said in a deep voice.
"I guess I can't find the body, you think about it, this is the river, and the body of the deceased must have floated down the water." Guo Fatzi interjected on the side.
I thought Guo Fatzi's words were reasonable, so I told them: "It's useless for us to look here, let's go along the river and look downstream." Remember, you only have one night, and after tonight, you can't find the body of the deceased, I'm afraid..."
"I'm afraid of what?" Wang Xi asked nervously.
I thought for a moment and said, "According to funeral, within 24 hours after death, a person must be put in a coffin. Once the time has passed, I am afraid that the deceased will not have a good time in the underworld, and if it is not good, it will be characterized as a lonely ghost and a wild ghost. ”
When they heard me say this, their faces changed, and they were silent, resting for about two minutes, regaining some strength, and plunging into the water to search for the body of the deceased.
We were a little sleepy, so we offered to go to sleep, but they didn't say anything, so they let us go to his house to rest, and they continued to search.
When I returned to his house, I told Wang Chuyao about the situation by the river, and she was clamoring to go to the river to help, I said that it was a man's business to find the body, and women could not go, and once they went, they would provoke ghosts and wild ghosts.
When she heard this, she fell silent, and tears fell out of her eyes, so she knelt down under the tablet of his ancestors, and prayed while burning yellow paper.
It's hard for us to say anything, after all, this is her family's business, and we can't interfere in many things. So, we found a quilt, found a random place in her living room, and slept all night.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, I called Guo Fatzi and stammered, and I saw that Wang Chuyao was still kneeling under the ancestral tablet, and there was a middle-aged woman next to her, who should be her mother.
When they saw that I was awake, the middle-aged woman came over, knelt down in front of me, and said, "I heard Yaoyao say that you are specialized in funerals, please, you must find the body of your mother-in-law, please." ”
She kowtowed to me as she spoke.
I hurriedly helped her up and said, "Auntie, everything has a cause and effect, the old man's body is missing, maybe there are some reasons in it, I'm afraid it's not so easy to find." ”
After hearing this, the woman's brows furrowed, and she didn't speak, so she tinkered with the wardrobe for a while, took out three or four sheets of Grandpa Mao, handed them to me, and said in a wailing voice: "There is not much surplus food at home, so don't dislike you, don't worry about it." ”
I smiled bitterly, stopped, and said: "I thought about it for a night yesterday, and found that the old man's body was missing, maybe there were some other reasons in it, and I don't know how to explain it to you. Therefore, Wang Xi's father and son turned over the river, and I am afraid that they will not be able to find the old man's body. ”
"What then?" The woman's face froze.
I shook my head and said, "Look at the will of heaven, when it should come out, it will naturally come out, when it shouldn't come out, it will naturally not come out, everything needs to depend on the will of heaven, it's not that we ordinary people can guess." ”
After hearing this, the woman knelt on the ground and hugged Wang Chuyao and cried, the cry was really sad.
Guo Fatzi was a little dumbfounded, pulled my sleeve, and asked softly: "Brother Jiu, they are quite pitiful, is there any way to help them?" ”
"Yes, they are so pitiful, Brother Jiu, help them." Stammered in agreement.
To tell the truth, I thought about helping them find the corpses, but when I thought of the 'Grandma Fjord' in Zhuyuan and the phenomenon by the river last night, I was very worried, and all kinds of signs showed that the disappearance of the old man's corpse was not accidental, but inevitable, giving people a sense of karma.
As for why I feel this way, I can't say clearly, but I think the old man should have done something to offend the gods before his death. Otherwise, the 'Dragon King' would not have set off a 'tornado' in anger and swept away the old man's body.
"Brother Jiu, you're talking!" Seeing that I was stunned, Guo Fatzi pushed me violently.
ps: I have been having problems with my body during this time, I couldn't bear it yesterday, and I went to the hospital, forgive me.
