The coffin nail is also called "town coffin nail" in the folk, which can ward off evil spirits in the town. Once the coffin is driven into the coffin nail, it means that yin and yang are separated and go their own way. But if the used coffin is nailed to the beam, the statement is a little different.

Xing Ruyi's grandfather used to be a carpenter. It is said that there is a magic in the carpenter's shop that if a used coffin is nailed to the beams of the master's house, it can nail the anger of the family. Short as a few months, as long as a year or two, the house beam was nailed to the coffin nail of the family can be extinct, so this is also a more vicious evil art, unless there is a great grudge, otherwise the average carpenter will not use this method to retaliate against someone, if it is passed out, this carpenter career is also to the end.

Xing Ruyi pinched the coffin nail in her hand, judging from the shape and style of the nail, it is not modern, and this is a temple, or a broken temple that "imprisons" Abi, so she can't think of anyone who will nail the coffin nail to this beam as an ordinary nail.

Looking up at the roof, he measured the position of the coffin nail on the roof beam with his eyes, and Xing Ruyi became more and more sure that the coffin nail was deliberately nailed to that position. Could it be that the person had already calculated the right time?

The question in his heart has not yet found a suitable answer, and Li Mao and Ah Niu have already helped the old woman in. The old woman couldn't see Abi, but she groped straight towards the place where Abi was standing, and the speed was so fast that even Li Mao, who was a demon, couldn't support it.

"Daughter, is that you? It's you, right? My mother was wrong, my mother was really wrong, my mother shouldn't have left you alone and didn't save you at that time. ”

Abi looked at the old woman, a little excited, and a little confused.

"Girl, can she see me?"

"She shouldn't be able to see you, it's just that the mother and daughter are connected ......" The second half of the sentence, Xing Ruyi didn't say it. She watched the old woman's arm pass through Abi's illusory body, and finally froze in mid-air, her lips murmuring: "Mother knows, mother knows that you are here, although Mother can't see it, but Mother can feel it." Abi, I'm sorry for making you suffer all these years. ”

"Mother, Abi is not bitter. Abi knows that over the years, you have been guarding Abi and accompanying Abi. Abi raised her hand and gently touched the old woman's hair. Although all she touched was a ball of air, her expression became extremely soft: "Mother, you are old!" I have gray hair on my head! ”

Abi said, a tear rolling from the corner of her eye. The ghost's tears fell into the wind and turned to ashes. The ash fell onto the old woman's sleeve and turned into a shallow dot.

"A-Niang, Abi is standing in front of you, she misses you very much, and she feels sorry for you. She said, "You are old, and your hair is gray." ”

"Yes, it's old, not only people are old, but this heart is also old. Only when you are old do you know that nothing in this world is as important as having your children by your side. It's a pity that my mother didn't understand at that time, and my mother thought that as long as she kept the fetus in her womb, as long as she pleased your father, as long as she didn't worry about food and clothing, and didn't suffer from poverty and hunger, it would be a good life and happiness.

However, when I looked back and thought about it carefully, I found that when I was living such a day, my mother's heart was always hanging, and I didn't feel true joy and happiness at all. On the contrary, your father's business is not so big, and when it is so good, when we are often hungry and cold, it is most comfortable to have you and Azhu by your side, talk to your mother, and chat with your mother. Also, when you were a child, you often did some outrageous things to make your mother angry, and when your mother was angry, annoyed, and couldn't help but burst into tears and laugh, it became the warmest and deepest memory of your mother's life.

Abi, if there is really a regret medicine in this world, if everything can be done all over again. My mother doesn't want anything, I just want to be able to guard you and Azhu. Watching you get married, watching you give birth to children, watching you live your life peacefully, even if you don't enjoy wealth. It's a pity, a mistake is a mistake, even if the mother regrets her intestines and regrets her heart, it's useless.

Madam! Madam! I beg you, please save my Abby, save my daughter. It's hard enough for her to live, so don't ...... anymore It tormented her like this again. ”

"Auntie, you get up first! Don't worry, Ruyi will help Abi. Seeing the old woman kneeling down towards her, Xing Ruyi helped her reach out and hold her: "Ruyi will help you take care of that eye first, and let you take a look at her with your own eyes before Abi leaves." ”

"My mother's eyes ......"

Abi was overjoyed, and her eyes were fixed on the old woman's blindness.

"There is one that can be cured."

Xing Ruyi said, and asked Li Mao to splash the bucket of water that Ah Niu brought from home on the clay statue. The thick yellow clay, soaked in clear water, began to crumble, and finally some of them fell off from the clay sculptures.

Seeing this, Ah Niu also temporarily helped the old woman aside, climbed onto the altar, and began to use his own hands, layer by layer, to carefully peel off the yellow mud from Ah Bi's body. The "Bodhisattva" sealed in the yellow mud gradually revealed her true face, which was Abi's own appearance, she stood on the altar, her eyes widened, both calm and unwilling to look ahead.

The ghost Abi also saw her physical appearance for the first time, her body trembled slightly, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, and gave a salute to Xing Ruyi: "Abi, thank you, girl!" ”

"I'll let Ah Niu take your body back later, choose a good day, find a good place, and settle in the ground, so I don't have nostalgia in this life."

"Abi understands, but she can't let go of my mother or my sister."

"Your sister her"

"Your sister is very good, you can go with peace of mind, don't worry about us." Hearing the half of Xing Ruyi's words, the old woman immediately reacted and hurriedly interrupted.

She groped and shook Ruyi's hand vigorously: "Azhu's matter, my own mother is watching, you go, your eyes will be wiped in the next life, don't look for a mother like me again." Before he could finish speaking, tears flowed down his face.

Abi looked at her mother and shook her head slightly.

Ah Bi's body has been peeled out of the yellow mud, and Ah Niu is carefully cleaning it. Li Mao came over with a handful of sticky yellow mud with both hands.

"This mud, but it's on Abi's face?"

"The shopkeeper's rest assured is on Miss Abi's face." Li Mao lifted the mud to Xing Ruyi: "The little boy has looked at it carefully, there is nothing that should not be there." ”

Xing Ruyi hummed lightly, and Li Mao evenly smeared the handful of yellow mud on the old woman's eyelids. At first, the old woman didn't react, but gradually she couldn't sit still, her hands tensed hard, and tears began to flow out of her remaining eyes.

"Girl, what's wrong with my mother?" Abi asked anxiously, but she was just a wisp of soul and couldn't do anything.

"Your mother saw what you had experienced, and she felt uncomfortable, so she wanted to cry. Don't worry, when she cries, it'll be fine. Before the words fell, the old woman's eyes, which were covered with yellow mud, began to shed tears. Tears washed the yellow mud off his face little by little, and the yellow mud dyed black fell to the ground, smashing out shallow pits one after another. When all the yellow mud covering her eyelids fell off, the old woman slowly opened her eyes. Almost without any hesitation, she turned her gaze to Abi.

"Abi!"

"Mother?" Abi screamed tentatively, and then looked at her happily: "Did you see Abi?" ”

"See! See! Mother sees you! The old woman said, wiping her tears fiercely.

The mother and daughter can still see each other after life and death, and such a tear-jerking scene makes Xing Ruyi a little uncomfortable. She gave Li Mao a look, and the two of them silently withdrew from the broken temple. After a while, Ah Niu also walked out. Seeing Xing Ruyi, he touched his head and asked carefully: "My mother, did you really see my sister?" ”

"Sort of?"

"Sort of? What does it mean? ”

"In fact, there are ghosts in this world, if you say there is, there will be, and if you say there is nothing, there will be none. The ghost is not in sight, but in the heart of man. Your mother, for your sister Abi, there is both guilt and longing in her heart. When the guilt accumulates to a certain level, when the longing reaches a certain thickness, she will be able to see the person she wants to see. Xing Ruyi said, and his eyes fell on you: "Over the years, have you ever missed your biological parents?" ”

"Yes! It's just not as strong as her mother. Ah Niu sank his eyes: "At the beginning, I missed them very much, but not because I missed them, but because I missed the days when they were alive and had no worries about food and clothing, just reading and writing." So when I dream occasionally, I can still dream of them. I dreamed that my mother cooked delicious food for me, and I dreamed that my father told me not to worry about family affairs, study hard, and wait for the next year's scientific examination to give him a top prize.

After that, I couldn't dream anymore, because every day I was thinking about how to live and how I could not starve to death. When I finally had time to calm down and think about my parents, I realized that I couldn't even remember what they looked like. Madame, I'm not a good son, am I? That's why I can't see my father's ghost. The reason why they didn't come to me was because they were so disappointed in me that they didn't want to see me as a son again, didn't they? ”

"My father and mother went when I was very young, and like you, I have never seen their ghosts, and even their looks are vague in my mind. So, Ah Niu, not all people in this world will be so persistent. The reason why we forget is because we want them to go with peace of mind, and the reason why they don't come back to us is because they want us to let go of everything and continue with life happily. ”

"Is that so?" Ah Niu turned to ask Li Mao.

Li Mao scratched his head: "I can't answer this question, because I don't know where my father and mother are and what they look like." ”

Ah Niu sighed, looked at Li Mao with sympathy and said, "It turns out that you are also an orphan, an orphan who is even more pitiful than me." ”

"That's right! I'm an orphan too! Li Mao touched his nose and felt that he was quite pitiful.
