Hearing them say this, I was even more puzzled, this old man is a little abnormal, how can there be a reason not to talk to relatives.

So, I asked them some things about the deceased before his death, Wang Xi and his sisters knew very little about it, and even Wang Chengcai didn't know much, so he said that the deceased was relatively withdrawn before his death, and he gave people 'flower arrangement' fortune telling before he got sick, and after he got sick, it was difficult to say a few words all year round.

Ikebana? I was stunned, I seem to have heard people say before, it is said that this industry is all women, and all of them are older women.

Before they entered this industry, they were exactly like normal women, but on a certain day or place, they would become more and more capable of 'arranging flowers', and this process was called 'purification'.

There are only a few tools for arranging flowers, a paper fan, a kerosene lamp, an abacus, and a bamboo tube of glutinous rice. Among them, the oiled paper fan is their signature tool.

The fan surface of the oil paper fan is embroidered with a locust tree, and they silently recite the name of the person and the eight characters of birth in their hearts, and then put the oil paper fan in front of the kerosene lamp, and the locust tree on the fan will become a flower and plant opposite to the fate of the person.

Through the growth of flowers and plants, they can see what period a person will encounter, what period he will get rich, and even when he will marry a wife and have children.

A fan, looking at the fate of all beings, this is their ability, they are known as "fairy women" in the folk.

It is worth mentioning that after becoming a fairy woman, if you don't take an oil-paper fan, you will become like a normal woman, take an oil-paper fan, and then go through the ceremony of 'going to the bridge', you will become another person.

This strange thing made many powerful Taoist priests depressed, and even the National Metaphysics Committee once asked the immortal woman to study it, and the result was very surprising, their skills seemed to be given by God, and there was no trace at all.

Of course, these are legends, whether they are true or not, I don't know. I know that no matter which angle ordinary people look at the oil paper fan, they can only see a locust tree.

I always thought that I would never have the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of person in my life, but I didn't expect that now I would meet one.

I asked Wang Chengcai with some excitement, "Did your mother arrange flowers for you before she died?" Is she right? ”

He shook his head and said, "Before my mother was sick, she had been walking outside the rivers and lakes, and she had never arranged flowers for anyone in our family. ”

I smiled bitterly in frustration, didn't speak, and glanced at the paper man, if the deceased was a fairy woman before her death, the reason why she refused to enter the funeral should be that there was a missing oiled paper fan in the coffin.

Thinking of this, I said to Wang Chengcai: "Put the fan that your mother used to arrange flowers into the coffin, and the paper figure should fall from the rope into the coffin." ”

Without thinking about it, he turned around and ran towards his house. After a while, he walked into the hall and handed me the oiled paper fan.

I took the oiled paper fan and wanted to open it to see what the oiled paper fan used by the fairy lady looked like. However, this is the stuff of the deceased, and if you open it wantonly without the permission of the deceased, you will offend the deceased.

Dispelling this thought, I placed the oiled paper fan on the left side of the front of the coffin. Strange to say, as soon as the oiled paper fan was put into the coffin, the paper man floated down, impartially, right next to the oiled paper fan.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and finally went to the coffin, and the next step was to put the deceased's clothes into the coffin.

The deceased is a woman, and the first set of clothes next to the paper man is red, symbolizing the suffering of the woman's embrace in October, and the deceased is a man, and the first set of clothes next to the paper man is cyan, symbolizing that the man is the pillar.

The colors of the second to sixth sets of clothing are: purple, blue, green, blue, blue, five, and the seventh set is a piece of clothing often worn by the deceased during his lifetime, which can ignore the color, but red is taboo.

It is worth noting that the colors of the second to seventh sets of clothing are the same for both men and women.

That Wang Cheng was going to put seven sets of clothes in the coffin of the deceased, but fortunately, when I was preparing these things, I greeted him, so there was no problem with the color.

I first took a set of red clothes from the Eight Immortals Table, waved it three times towards the coffin, stretched my voice, and shouted: "The kindness of parents is deeper than the sea, and the world will never forget this root. ”

After reading this, I put the red clothes into the coffin and gave Guo Fat a look, meaning to let him smash the tiles in his hand.

He came to his senses and smashed the tile on the ground, and the tile fell to the ground with a loud sound, and it shattered immediately.

This tile is broken, which means that there is no problem with etiquette. I continued to put the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth sets, and for each set of clothes, I would make three waves at the coffin and shout a poem in a loud voice.

After putting these six sets of clothes, I picked up the seventh set of clothes on the table of the Eight Immortals, and the feeling of this clothes was a little heavy, and there was a faint smell on it. When I brought this laundry, I thought that the laundry had not been washed, so I asked Wang Cheng to wash it and bring it again.

He told me that the deceased loved to wear this suit the most during his lifetime, and he usually washed it the most. No matter how you wash it, you just can't wash off the smell, and this laundry has also set off a lot of turmoil in Wax Tree Village, and it is called 'fairy clothes'.

I frowned, and took the seventh set of clothes and made three swings towards the coffin, but as soon as I finished the dressing, the clothes became a little lighter, as if they were not as heavy as before, and I took a moment, and without thinking so much, I put the clothes into the coffin.

Just as he was about to stammer, he stammered and asked him to smash the tiles, when suddenly there was a strong smell in the air, which was not the faint fishy smell on the clothes, but like the smell of corpses, which made people feel uncomfortable, retching, and want to vomit.

Made, how could there be a foul smell for no apparent reason, I was stunned in place, and for a while, without finding out the reason, I said to the stammer: "Quick, smash the tile in your hand on the coffin?" ”

"Smash the coffin?" He looked at me suspiciously, as if he didn't understand.

I nodded and said, "Yes, just smash it on the coffin, hoping that this tile can break the evil qi of the deceased, as long as the evil qi is broken, the stench should disappear." ”

To be honest, I don't know if this method is useful or not, but in our rural areas, it is common sense to smash tiles and break them.

When I said this, he raised the tile in his hand and smashed it towards the left side of the coffin, and the tile smashed on the coffin with a 'bang' sound, which was very crisp.
