20.Chapter 20: The Coffin Becomes Lighter (II)

The main family knew early on that the coffin would have to be transported across the stream, so he had tied some bamboo rafts there in advance, and since the water surface of the stream was not very urgent, the raft could also be crossed to the opposite side.

We first let a person swim over with one end of the rope, and the other end is tied to the bamboo raft, then put two wooden benches on the bamboo raft, and then put the coffin on the wooden bench.

Then, I arranged for some people to go to the opposite side to pull, it took about 30 minutes, the coffin was finally pulled to the opposite side by us, I was about to burn some yellow paper, move the coffin off the bamboo raft, someone suddenly shouted: "Blood!" That's a lot of blood! ”

Hearing this, I looked towards the coffin, and saw a small hole at the bottom of the coffin, and a lot of blood seeped out of it, making a ticking sound, and soon, the bamboo raft was already red, and the smell of blood filled the whole sky, and many people had begun to vomit.

Seeing that the bamboo raft was full of blood, the relatives of the main family panicked, knelt down without thinking, kept kowtowing, and wailed again, not even daring to raise their heads.

"Nine boys, how do you get it?" Lao Wang walked up to me and asked.

I frowned, pointed to the coffin, and said, "Let's find yellow paper and plug that little hole first!" ”

"Okay!" Lao Wang glanced at me, found a handful of yellow paper to block there, and as soon as he plugged it, he was washed away by a steady stream of blood, and more and more blood flowed out of the coffin, and some blood had seeped into the stream, dyeing the water surface red.

Looking at this situation, it is impossible to block it, there is only one way to open the coffin, I asked Lao Wang to find a long pry, and I didn't care about the statement that the coffin did not fall to the ground, so I moved the coffin to the ground, first warped the coffin lid a little bit, and I don't know what was going on.

I coughed violently a few times as I heard the pungent smell of blood, followed by a large wave of blood pouring down the coffin, staining me red from the knee down.

"Mom! That's a lot of blood! Lao Wang screamed beside him, pulled me and ran, where did I know that my feet slipped and fell, and the two of us fell into the heap of blood, and I propped myself on the ground with one hand, ready to get up.

Suddenly, the palm of my hand touched a round thing, I picked it up and looked at it, this look, almost scared me out, the round thing was nothing else, it was actually a living eyeball, with meridians on it, black and red two colors crossed, constantly stimulating my visual nerves.

I shook it off hard, the eyeball seemed to stick to my palm, I couldn't shake it off at all, I shook it several times in a row, the eyeball was quietly glued to my hand, I was immediately frightened, this eyeball has a familiar feeling, the sticky thing on it, as if it was the glue I sprinkled.

Lao Wang helped me up, glanced at the eyeballs on my hands, and without saying a word, took off the clothes on my body, tied them to my wrists, and pulled them hard before the eyeballs ran away from my palms.

We glanced at each other and found that each other had become bloody people, Lao Wang was better, I was already stained red with blood all over my body, I looked around, and the relatives of the main family ran away at some point, and the venue was left with me, Lao Wang and six eight immortals, and the three brothers of the main family who were kneeling not far away.

I wiped the blood stains off my face, and felt a little angry in my heart, "Made, where did the blood come from in this coffin!" ”

Lao Wang didn't speak, his legs kept shaking, and he pouted at me, I followed his movements and looked towards the coffin, and saw that there were still people in the coffin, only a stack of white bones, and dozens of thumb-sized fish jumping next to it, gnawing at the intestines of the deceased.

Immediately, I threw up, isn't this fish a small scavenger, how can it appear in the coffin, and what makes me even more puzzled is how these scavengers survive in the coffin.

I looked at the coffin board that had fallen apart, and saw that it was full of gnawing marks, and the thickness of the coffin was much thinner, no wonder the coffin was getting lighter and lighter, all thanks to these scavengers.

"Who is so ruthless that he put a scavenger in a coffin and gnaw the body of the deceased, what a hatred, what a grievance!" Lao Wang sighed beside him and said.

At this moment, the three brothers of the main family came tremblingly, and regardless of the blood on the ground, they knelt down, kowtowed desperately, and then asked us what was the matter, and I said, "Have you offended someone, someone put a scavenger in the coffin to gnaw on your father's body." ”

The three brothers of the main family exchanged their heads for a while, and said: "Our three brothers are just ordinary people, and we usually don't offend anyone, who would do such a thing of cutting off children and grandchildren?" ”

I shook my head, not knowing how to answer their questions, so I let them investigate on their own, after all, I was only undertaking the funeral, and I was not interested in knowing the cause of the deceased's death.

The coffin had fallen apart, but the bones of the deceased were still there, and the burial had to continue, so we asked the master what his family had planned.

At first, the host said that the bones should be packed up in a coffin and then buried, but I said that changing the coffin before the burial would bring bad luck and maybe die.

I thought about it and told the master that in this case, the only way to do this is to use a sack to put up the bones and then bury them, and if you still insist on using a coffin, you need to wait until three years later to dig it out and then use a coffin to put it up, but it is not worth it because it will destroy feng shui.

The three brothers of the main family discussed for a while, and then agreed to my approach, and then, several of us eight immortals found a sack, picked up the bones and put them in, put them into the soil, sprinkled rice, burned incense, nailed soul nails, and then recited a bunch of incantations, sealed the soil, and then the bones of the deceased were buried in the ground, but the story did not end there, but just began.

After the burial, I asked the main family to go back first, and then go to his house tomorrow to settle the funeral expenses, after they left, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable, at first I thought it was a problem with blood stains on the body, so I jumped into the stream with Lao Wang to take a bath, but after the bath, I was covered with blisters the size of rice grains, no pain or itching, and Lao Wang had nothing to do.

Lao Wang glanced at the blisters on my body, and said, "Jiu Yanzi, you can't have syphilis, right?" ”

As soon as I heard this, my anger came up, "You old bastard, I didn't even touch the girl's hand, where did you get syphilis!" ”

He looked me up and down, and said, "No, your kid's appearance is the best in our village, why don't you even have a woman, besides, didn't you talk about a girlfriend at school, why didn't you even touch your hands?" ”

I glared at him and said, "I respect her like a guest, like you old pervert, almost fifty years old, and you go to the town's hair salon every once in a while!" ”

I still remember when Lao Wang looked at my expression, although he didn't speak, but, in his deep eyes, I saw two words, cowardly, now in retrospect, it is true, a man in this life, he is afraid of entering the wrong line, once he enters the wrong line, love is a dream that is far away, not to mention further actions, such as the line of coffin bearer.
