Looking at the old Xiucai lying on the ground, my heart was very sour, so I helped him up and asked him how he felt.

He stopped, took a deep breath, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that his face is tense!" ”

As he spoke, he handed me the two ankle bones and continued, "Wrap them up quickly, the sun will burn your grandfather." After saying that, my hand hung down weakly, I was startled, thinking that he was dead, and quickly reached out to probe his nose, angry.

After taking the bones, I shouted to Lao Wang and them, "Quick, send Lao Xiucai to the hospital!" ”

At this time, my father walked over with a calm face, without saying a word, raising his hand was a slap in my face, which was very painful, and he scolded: "Nine Guys, look at what evil you have created, let me go down, you have to stop it, if something happens to Lao Xiu, see Lao Tzu go home and not kill you." ”

After speaking, my father and Lao Wang carried Lao Xiucai and left, leaving me, Guo Fatzi, Qing Xuanzi, Mother and Joyce on the grave.

I rubbed my cheeks, I had mixed feelings in my heart, I had any thoughts, I felt that my brain was a little messy, Qing Xuanzi patted me on the shoulder, I came back to my senses, and he said, "Give me my ankle bone!" ”

I handed him the bones, and glanced at the place where Lao Xiucai had come up, there was a fist-sized hole in the inside of the tomb, and there was a pool of stagnant water in it, and if I guessed correctly, the two ankle bones should have been soaked in water.

"Chen Baxian, come and take a look, there are subtle tooth marks on these two bones!" Qing Xuanzi shouted at me.

I walked over and saw that the tooth marks on the bones were very thin, and looking at the shape, it should be the teeth marks of a mouse, so I asked Qing Xuanzi, "Could it be that the mouse made the bone into that small hole?" ”

He nodded and said, "It should be, otherwise your grandfather wouldn't have dreamed of you for days in a row!" ”

Think about it, there are people in the underworld who have a bad life, and they usually give dreams to future generations, and grandpa entrusts us with dreams, it should be that his grave can't live anymore, plus the two ankle bones were taken away by mice, so he will be so anxious to move the grave!

We were busy for a while, Qing Xuanzi sprinkled some rootless water on the two ankle bones, lifted the black cloth and put the bones in their place, and the whole human skeleton was presented in front of us.

Afterwards, Qing Xuanzi sat on the ground, recited some scriptures next to the coffin, and did some sermons, sealing the coffin, riveting in rivets, and nailing a red cloth to the front and back ends of the coffin.

I asked him what he was doing with red cloth. He said that moving the grave is not a white happy event, but also a red happy event, nailing two pieces of red cloth one is to hang a little happy, the picture is auspicious, the other is the heavy yin of the grave, when carrying the coffin, it is easy to attract lonely souls and wild ghosts, there is a red cloth on it, can calm the surrounding lonely souls and wild ghosts.

After we had completely finished the new coffin, my father and Lao Wang came back with calm faces, and their faces were a little wrong, so I asked them what happened to Lao Xiucai.

Lao Wang glanced at me and said, "Lao Xiucai refuses to go to the hospital, he is afraid that he will die in the hospital and will not be able to enter the hall, we called a crappy doctor in the countryside, who is giving Lao Xiucai an intravenous drip, depending on the situation, he will not live long." ”

Hearing this, my legs were weak, I knelt on the ground weakly, I didn't say anything, I kept blaming myself in my heart, I shouldn't have hesitated in the first place, I should have jumped off the grave immediately, so that no one would have an accident.

"Jiu Yanzi, don't blame yourself, Lao Xiucai said, this is his calamity, Yangshou has come to an end, and it has nothing to do with you." Lao Wang came over and pulled me up and comforted me.

That's right, but it's always our family that moved the grave to make Lao Xiu like this, not only I blame myself in my heart, but the interest of the people present is not very high, and the scene is a little heavy.

However, the relocation of the grave had to continue, and in desperation, I forced my smile to hold on, handed Qing Xuanzi a red envelope, and sent a round of cigarettes to the people present.

After about three minutes, Qing Xuanzi found a radish and nine copper coins, put them in the tomb, and pushed some soil on top of the tomb to cover it. Then he poured some gasoline on top of the coffin, lit a fire, and when the burning was over, the eight immortals filled in the tomb, and Qing Xuanzi stood on it and recited some scriptures, and let me kneel next to my father.

After doing all this, I sent a red envelope to each of the eight immortals, and the red envelope that filled the old grave was the heaviest red envelope in the whole ceremony, and I stuffed 24 yuan in it, which is considered a full filial piety, and the general red envelope is 12 yuan.

We rested for a while, and when our strength was almost recovered, Qing Xuanzi asked Lang Gao to light the firecrackers and prepare to drive, he walked to the front of the coffin, holding a mourning stick in one hand and a bell to ward off evil spirits in the other, and chanting some incomprehensible incantations in his mouth.

The eight immortals stood in their respective positions, shoulders on their shoulders, slowly lifted the coffin, and slowly walked forward, my father and I followed the coffin, Joyce walked behind us with her mother on her back, and every time we walked a while, my father and I had to speed up our steps to the front of the coffin, and then kneel on the ground, unable to look up, waiting for the coffin to pass by us, and then we could look up and get up.

Originally, my mother also had to kneel down to welcome my grandfather's coffin, saying that my grandfather treated her well before her death and couldn't lose her etiquette, but considering my mother's inconvenient legs, I discussed with Joyce for a while and asked her to replace my mother. After thinking about it, she didn't know what was going on, so she agreed, but because she was carrying her mother behind her back, Joyce didn't really kneel, but just bent down to show etiquette.

Grandpa's new grave is not far from the cemetery in our village, climb over the small hill and then pass a few ridges to arrive, along the way the eight immortals carried it very steadily, and there were no accidents, even Lang Gao, who set off firecrackers on the side, couldn't help but say, so smooth, the coffin didn't even hit a vacant one.

When I carried it to the cemetery, it was getting dark, my feet and my father kneeling were a little numb, not to mention, there were faint blood stains on my forehead, this is how to be a filial son and grandson, in terms of etiquette to satisfy the ancestors.

My father and I, one handed a red envelope to the Eight Immortals, and the other gave the Eight Immortals a cigarette, according to the reason, this red envelope should not be wrapped, because carrying the coffin was originally calculated according to the salary, not in the etiquette.

However, I think it is a second burial, more or less unlucky, the red envelope may not be useful on weekdays, but it is somewhat useful in this second burial, mainly because red can be happy, and then the white point is to let the eight immortals get a little happy, to go to bad luck.

As soon as the red envelope is shot, no matter how much money is in it, it is the heart of the main family, and the eight immortals will accept it with a smile, of course, there are some eight immortals who will definitely be mad if they look at the little money in the red package, this kind of thing is not easy to say, after all, the dragon gives birth to nine sons, each is different! They are all according to each man's nature.

However, these eight immortals who follow me, although the family is poor, but they are not greedy for money in their bones, and they will receive as much as the main family gives, and they will not deliberately make things difficult for the main family, perhaps it is for this reason that the income of our group of eight immortals is not as much as that of Liu Kai's group of eight immortals.
