390.Chapter 390 (15)
It took about thirty minutes to wipe the body of the deceased, then put on a shroud, and smeared some foundation on the deceased's face according to the custom of Walker Village, so that he looked no different from a living person except that his face was paler.
Get this done, I was worried that the deceased's corpse would have a dream, I opened the deceased's eyelids and looked at it, it was very normal, there was no liquid stored in it, and I used a cotton swab to pound it into the deceased's ear, and took out the cotton swab and looked at it, it was dry.
It was only then that I was completely relieved that it was all a coincidence, so I put the deceased's clothes in order and put a black hat on him.
Speaking of this hat, according to custom, there are places where you can't wear a hat, it is said that wearing a hat will make the deceased bald in the next life, and some places have to wear a hat, saying that it is cold in the underworld, and bring a hat to keep out the cold.
Of course, this is a matter of customs in various places, and I can't say anything, I can only do it according to customs and habits, and besides, whether you wear a hat or not, it is a piece of filial piety for future generations, and in the end, it is for the good of the dead.
After putting on my hat, I helped the little boss and the little girl up and said sorry to the little boss.
When the little boss heard this, he looked at me suspiciously, and said, "Nine boys, why do you want to tell me sorry, did you do something behind my back?" ”
I smiled bitterly, I can't tell him what happened in my dreams, can I? Then he stopped and said, "When I was studying, I sprinkled the ingredients of instant noodles in your kettle." ”
", Nine Boys!" He scolded with a smile, pushed me a few times, and said: "At the beginning, I always thought it was Guo Fatzi, and I spit in his kettle every day, but I didn't expect it to be you!" ”
As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help laughing, when I was studying, this little boss and Guo Fatzi didn't look at each other, the two of them quarreled a lot for Banhua, and I was annoyed to death, personally, I was still inclined to Guo Fatzi, so I helped Guo Fatzi sprinkle instant noodle ingredients into his kettle.
"You kid, let Fat Guo carry the black cauldron for you for so long!" He laughed and cursed, didn't say anything more, and asked me what to do next.
I thought about it for a while, and then asked the stammerer to see if Lao Wang had made the coffin. He stammered, turned and walked downstairs.
Soon, the stammerer ran back and said that the coffin had been made and that I should just carry the body down.
Immediately, I found an oil-paper umbrella for the little boss to support, and asked the stammerer to prepare a few firecrackers, and the little girl saw that we were busy, so she said that she wanted to help.
I really didn't know what to say about it, so I just found an excuse and sent her to the next room. Not to mention, children are easy to deceive, and my excuse is that her father needs to accept incense offerings in order to get better. To my believability, she actually believed it, found a large handful of fragrance and threw it in front of me, kowtowed to me a few times, told me to cure her father, and obediently went to the next room to stay.
After the little girl left, the little boss stuffed me with a red envelope, which was not thick, that is, a few yuan, saying that it was a little heart.
I didn't refuse, I took the red envelope and stuffed it in my trouser pocket, put the deceased behind my back, tied it with a black rope, and asked the little boss to prepare a wooden chair at the door of the first floor, put a kerosene lamp under the wooden chair, and then tie a red rope to the wooden chair, and tie the other end to the door.
The little boss nodded and walked out.
"Brother Jiu, what about me? What? "Stammered a little anxious and asked me.
"When you get to the first floor, you hold an oil-paper umbrella, remember, don't let the deceased's head be hit by the sun." With that, I handed the oil-paper umbrella to the stammer, and he hummed and walked out with the oil-paper umbrella.
After they left, I was left with the deceased in the room, I didn't hesitate, took a few deep breaths, carried the deceased to the position of the bed and made three swirls towards the west, picked up the three pillars of fragrance and pinched it in my hand, and shouted in a long voice, "The yin man goes home!" ”
After yelling, I immediately walked out to the door. As soon as I went out, I saw the little girl standing next to me, with wide eyes and asked me, "Brother, where are you carrying your father?" ”
I paused for a moment and said, "Carry your father to heal." ”
Since I couldn't talk nonsense on my back, I didn't dare to talk more, so I ignored her and walked downstairs. The little girl grabbed me and said, "Brother, I'm going too." ”
"What are you going to do?" I said it angrily.
She didn't speak, she tugged at my trouser legs, proving with her actions that she had to go.
Seeing her expression, I was really drunk, so I had to nod and walk downstairs.
The stairs of this house are a bit narrow, and it is not easy to walk with the corpse on his back, especially because the deceased is taller, and according to custom, when carrying the corpse, the deceased's feet cannot land.
I had no choice but to put the dead man's foot on me, and I was afraid that the deceased's foot would fall, so I grabbed his foot with my hand.
Since then, another problem has arisen. If you grab the feet of the deceased, the deceased's back will be empty, and the strength of a rope alone will definitely not be enough, and it will inevitably not lean backwards when going downstairs, causing the whole body to fall to the ground.
In desperation, I had to bend down as much as I could, so that the deceased's whole body was pressed against my back, so as to prevent the body from sliding down.
As soon as I bent down, I felt a lot of weight on my back, and my feet trembled a little. Made, knowing that he had left someone to help, gritted his teeth and fought hard, and walked downstairs.
After walking about ten steps, my back became heavier and heavier, not because the corpse had become heavier, but because my physical exertion was too great. As the saying goes, when you are exhausted, you are tired, and this is the case now.
"Brother, can you go faster!" The little girl urged in the back.
Listening to this, I want to die, Made, the deceased weighed about 140, I was only 120 pounds, it is not easy to carry a 140-pound corpse, how can I walk fast, it is really a child's words.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the little girl urged again, "Brother, hurry up!" ”
If I had the strength to speak, I really wanted to scold her, she was so ignorant, and I was sweating profusely before I saw it. Still, I gritted my teeth and walked a little faster.
When I came downstairs, I was soaked with sweat, and my shoulders were even slimy, and it was particularly smelly, of course, it was not my sweat, but because of bending over, the deceased's mouth flowed a lot of laihazi out, and it flowed impartially on my shoulder.
"Brother Jiu, do you want to help!" Stammering saw me coming down, walked over, and asked.
I shook my head, didn't speak, put the deceased on the wooden chair that had been prepared, exhaled a few times, and wiped the Lai Hazi on my body with yellow paper, I don't know what was going on, the more I wiped, the more Lai Hazi smelled.
