Chapter Seventy-Eight: Moving the Grave at Midnight

Sister! ”

Zhan Ao put the chopsticks on the bowl, the voice was not loud, but it showed that his temper was not small, and his eyes were full of puzzlement.

Zhu Hongyu also put down her chopsticks, still with a smile on her face.

"I asked them to kneel before our father's shrine. It's more to force them. ”

Sister-in-law Gui's family came over, just to cover up. Their family will never take a bite from our house.

"That'...... How to cook this rice? ”

Amber asked cautiously as she held the bowl, for fear of saying the wrong thing again.

"I'm thinking about asking Sister-in-law Gui to make a reunion banquet. On that day, whether it was the subordinate or the host, we had a good meal at a table, after all, life has just begun. ”

Zhu Hongyu smiled and looked at the drizzle and breeze outside the door, and the fresh wind hit her face, revealing a trace of heat.

"By the way, as for their ......"

Zhu Hongyu hooked her lips and smiled, her eyes showed a little ruthlessness, she didn't say her plan, she will know when the time comes.

By June 24, the ancestral hall of the Zhu family was completed according to the construction schedule.

A small bamboo forest hides a tiled house, and the cobblestone path winds and turns, just a few steps away, and it has to be repaired.

From the outside, there was no difference from the usual tiled house, and Zhu Hongyu was led by the foreman of the contractor into the door of the tiled house.

The doors and windows are made of carved mahogany, and the style is also bright. The floor tiles are neat and neat blue bricks.

The cost is average, but it is very sturdy.

Along the north side of the house, from east to west, a row of stone platforms were built, and the stone platforms were one meter wide, and the offerings were not a problem.

Wherever the spiritual position is placed, it must be enough. This regulation has no problem enshrined in their family of dozens of people.

The tile is small, there is no column, and when Zhu Hongyu is about to accept it, suddenly a straight line of light hits the tile house.

When she looked up, she saw that the tiles that turned out to be the roof had not been built. The bricklayers were still standing on the roof, and it turned out that there was a tile in the middle, which was not sealed.

At the time, Zhu Hongyu understood that the reason for starting to build tiles from both sides was that she was afraid that the main family would not settle the bill.

It's a kind of forcing mechanism.

The foreman bent down and smiled at Zhu Hongyu's side, and almost said the word "asking for money".

Zhu Hongyu came to settle the bill, she stuffed six taels of silver into the hands of the foreman, only to hear the roof "jingle bell" sound, less than a cup of tea, a tile on the roof was paved.

The foreman of the contractor was naturally grateful, and left quickly with his brother when he went out.

When Vermilion went out, she saw only Amber standing outside the door.

"Why are you alone? What about Zhanao? What about Mr. Shen? And the taro didn't come. ”

Amber leaned over to her sister's side and carried Vermilion Jade into the courtyard. I saw that when I entered the hospital, Runye also arrived.

Zhu Hongyu remembered that she went to the construction site for acceptance as soon as she got up, but forgot that the most important mandala was in the courtyard.

When Runye saw Zhu Hongyu coming, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"The sun is all on your butt before you get up?"

Zhu Hongyu also ignored him, only to see that the things on the mandala were different from last time.

First, three golden silk nan gold lacquer tablets were placed, and the words on them were shining.

"Zhufu Zhu's Silver Cicada Spiritual Position"

"The spiritual position of the Zhufu Lu clan and the yellow bird"

"The spiritual seat of the ancestors of the Zhu Mansion in the past dynasties"

Then there is a candle on the left and right of the spiritual seat, and in front of the candle is a permanent lamp with a lampshade, and in front of the spiritual seat is a large incense burner, and then a few fruits are placed in front.

Before that, there was the incense tray of Runye, in which there was a very small incense burner, a small box of incense on the left, and a large box of incense powder on the right. In front of it, there is a token.

I've been with Runye for a long time, and I also recognize these things. It can also be seen in ordinary life, and it is not difficult to remember.

Seeing that Zhu Hongyu was curious, Runye bent down, took out a banner from his baggage, and inserted it on the bamboo pole standing in front of the altar. Then he continued to stand in front of the altar, but the banner was not long, and the banner fell to the ground.

Zhu Hongyu picked up the banner that Runye had just made, and was about to play, but Runye stepped forward with an arrow step and took the banner back from Zhu Hongyu's hand.

Vaguely, Zhu Hongyu saw the words "Taiyi Saves Suffering Tianzun" written on the flag.

"Do you know what it is?" A smile crossed the corner of Runye's mouth, and Zhu Hongyu hurriedly made up a smile.

"Uh...... I don't know. ”

Runya made a place on the table, laid the banner flat on the table, and said, "This is the spirit flag." ”

Zhu Hongyu's face changed suddenly, and she was really shocked by Runye.

"Oh...... Okay, I got it. ”

Runye bent down again and took out a white rectangular board from the inside of his backpack, slightly bent.

Seeing this, Zhu Hongyu hurriedly covered her head.

"Don't, don't hit me on the head, I'll be stupid if I sue you!"

Runye raised the corners of his mouth, saw the stitches, and put the whiteboard on the altar.

"This is Chao Jian, let me hit you with this, you are not qualified enough."

Zhu Hongyu's eyes rolled upward, why did Runye be so beaten today? It's not that he didn't give him money.

It seems that in the future, you must not give the silver first, and you will give it after the prostitution is finished...... Bah! It's time to get things done!

Runye is taking out a three-clear bell and putting it away. A handful of fragrance and set it away. Runye clapped his hands and sat down.

Zhu Hongyu chased forward, sat next to Runye, and squeezed along the way.

She rolled her eyes and glared at Runye, and asked, "Eh, I'll pay you a thousand taels of silver to do this little work?" ”

Runye smiled a mocking smile.

"This benefactor, Poor Dao will set up an altar in front of your parents' graves tonight. After burning incense and chanting prayers, the grave is dug up. Then he was carried overnight to the cave where the poor road was pointed, buried, recited, prayed, and buried. The monument was erected after 7749. ”

Zhu Hongyu heard it in a fog, and felt as if she didn't have to sleep at night......

"After that, light a bouquet of incense from before your parents' new graves. Walk into the house with incense, summon and reassure the soul. Feed before the end of the day. ”

"Oh......"

Zhu Hongyu squeezed out a smile with difficulty with an embarrassed smile.

I don't understand what it's going on......

Runye watched Zhu Hongyu in a daze, and quietly tripped Zhu Hongyu's calf, squeezing her from her side to the ground at once. As soon as I entered the hospital, a girl's scream came from the hospital.

"Vermilion." Runye sat on the handrail of the corridor, looking at Zhu Hongyu's joke,

"It is better to sit with 500 tigers than with monks. Now you get it, right? ”

Zhu Hongyu stood up in pain, snorted fiercely at Runye, and turned to walk towards her house.

Shameless night! Obviously, he did it first! I don't admit it now!

=

On this day, as expected by Runye, the sky was clear.

At night, the sky is covered with stars and the moon, and the bright moon is like a hook.

At two o'clock, the group packed up. The maids and servants of the family are all wearing plain clothes, wearing white belts around their waists, holding dog oil white candle lamps, lighting up for the group.

This group of people includes Runye, three filial sons, two family members, and sixteen coffin bearers.

Led by Runye, starting from Zhu Hongyu's house, Runye was wearing a magic robe, walking in the front, holding a spirit banner in his hand, and carrying a cross-body burden on his body. Behind him, Zhu Zhanao, Zhu Amber, and Zhu Hongyu were all wearing filial piety clothes, and the three of them followed behind Runye.

The three filial sons carried a paper money basket on their arms, and raised them up, and the copper coins were like snow, and then scattered in all directions, allowing them to drift away.

All the way, all the way.

These paper coins float on the roadside, some in the canals, some in the silt, and some loosely in the fields.

After the three filial sons, it is Tsunehiragawa and Ergou. The two carried a table with a kneeling stool on it. After that, there was a loose and scattered team of sixteen coffins.

The bright moon is flawless, and the group is mighty, although it does not make a little sound, but the bright moon shines on the body, but there is a sense of extreme loneliness.

First through the field, and then across the village boundary river, after crossing the river a few steps away, a large cemetery appeared in front of everyone, unorganized, wanton arrangement. Some have tombstones, others only have a mound.

The crows of the night, "ahhhh

This is the mass grave, the place where all the poor, all the people who died by accident, were buried.

The maid who walked next to the team and lit the lamp, followed Zhu Zhanao and Zhu Amber, and the two of them quickly searched for their parents' graves in the entire mass grave.

Zhu Hongyu didn't look for it, because when her parents in her previous life were buried, they were already bedridden. Naturally, she didn't know where it was.

The two of them looked for it in front of the grave, and they had to say "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb", and Zhu Hongyu was covered with goosebumps when they heard it.

After a while, I finally found it. Zhan Ao didn't make a sound, but pointed at Runye.

The two servants carrying the table were busy setting up the offering table between the two tombs, and put down the kneeling stool in front of the table.

Runye put down the spirit banner and took off the burden on his body.

Set up the incense burner, a plate of sugar, a plate of fruits, a plate of steamed buns, and two candles one by one.

Run the night to light a candle and put on three sticks of incense. He began to ring the bell and began to recite the scriptures.

Originally, the sound of Runye was not terrible, but in such an environment, the sound effect of a crow was added. Everyone present trembled. The slightest disturbance will be half scared to death.

Runye spoke very quickly and finished reading the scriptures.

"When it is the day, the sky opens the ecliptic. There is no taboo in the sky, no taboo in the earth, no taboo in the heaven and earth, and no taboo. The memorial service is over, and the grave is dug and the coffin is opened. ”

Runye stood up, placed three sticks of incense on the grave, and then placed the tribute from the table on the ground in front of the grave.

Candles are also placed at the head of the grave, and according to custom, if the candle is extinguished during the digging process, the person here is not allowed to move the grave.

The family carefully removed the table and kneeling stool, and the 12-man coffin carrying team dug up the grave bag in the middle of the night with shovels and shovels, and soon saw the coffin.

The candle flickered, but there was no sign of extinguishing it.

The coffin was carried by eight people, and after the coffin was lifted, several people dug up the nails and lifted the coffin board according to Runye's requirements.

Runye looked at it and confirmed that it was the bones of a man and a woman, and there was no sign of corpse transformation, so he asked people to reseal the coffin and nail the coffin.

Sixteen people, in groups of eight, tied up the coffin one after the other.

Runye came with a spirit flag, and in the order in which he came, he was at the front of the group.

Then there were three people dressed in hot filial piety behind Runye, then the family, and then the two teams of people carrying the coffin.

Runye cleared his throat, looked up at the moon, and quickly came back to his senses, shouting in a clear voice without a trace of hesitation:

"Wake up—"
