Chapter 273: The Ghost Lingers
At this time, the young master said: "Don't look at it, you don't deserve to die, you can't see that thing, Hou San, you listen to my orders and do one thing." ”
I said, "What is the young master doing?" Tell me. ”
The young master said: "When I am dying after smoking, you seal my nostrils, ear holes and asshole with cotton, and then use brown paper dipped in water, paste one by one, and finally use a bowl of rice soaked in cold water, sprinkle it all over the body, remember to burn more paper money, remember that if you don't leave with a whirlwind, it means that the paper money has not burned enough, and if the whirlwind leaves, I will be successful." ”
I said, "Why did the young master do this?" If I do, the lord will beat me to death. ”
The young master said: "Don't ask why, I won't treat you badly, you just do what I say." Then he instructed the others in front of the bed: "You have all heard, this matter is confessed by me when I am dying, and it has nothing to do with Hou San, you give Hou San a testimony." ”
As soon as I heard the young master's words, I was not afraid, so many people could prove it to me. According to what the young master said, this matter is not difficult to do, so he asked someone to buy paper on the street, and bought as many paper shells as he did for those gold and silver jewelry, and then I asked the young master to burn cigarette bubbles, and the young master moved his lips and said softly: "This is my last smoking, just burn a golden cicada for me to take off the shell." ”
The burner burned smoke bubbles in front of the young master's bed, and the young master told me to go to the kitchen, soak a bowl of white rice in cold water, and then prepare cotton soaked in water, and a few pieces of kraft paper. The young master was lying on the bed smoking, I helped him set up a smoking gun, he started smoking, this time smoking is very strange, always in, not out, the young master's face is suffocated into a pig's head, emitting cyanotic color, at this time the young master's head is tilted, the smoking gun fell on the bed, and the person just left.
As soon as I saw that the young master was gone, I felt sad at first, and I felt that the sky had fallen, and then I suddenly remembered the young master's instructions, so I quickly used wet cotton to plug the young master's nose, ears and asshole, and then dipped it in water with brown paper, and protected the young master's face layer by layer. ”
Hou San paused when he said this, and I remembered a kind of punishment I used when I was a bandit, which was called rain pouring plum blossoms, fixing the limbs of the prisoner on the bed to make him unable to move, and then covering his face with layers of wet yellow table paper, blocking his mouth and nose, and suffocating him to death. I heard that this kind of punishment was created by those eunuchs in the ancient Dongchang.
At this time, Hou San paused for a while and continued: "I followed the young master's instructions, pasted the young master's face, and then used the prepared ghost rice to sprinkle a layer of ghost rice on the young master's body, transferred the bed over, lit candles, and the young master's room first became a temporary spirit shed, as for the real spirit shed, I have to come back and do some care."
After I got it done, I asked people to invite the family members of the Hou Mansion, and for a while the crying in the house shook the sky, and at this moment, there was a whirlwind in the house, and the whirlwind blew confetti everywhere in the house, and the candles in front of the bed were also blown bright and dark, and I felt chills all over my body, knowing that this was not a good thing.
At this time, I remembered the words of the young master, so I hurriedly found a basin and threw the paper money into it, and those family members of the Hou Mansion were scattered in fright, and I had to kowtow while burning the paper, in fact, I was also afraid at the time, but the old people said that after this person died, the soul messenger, the bull head and horse face will take away the soul of the dead.
When I saw that the whirlwind was smaller, I was happy, and I thought that I had fulfilled the saying, that money can make ghosts grind. At this moment, the whirlwind suddenly stopped, and I felt a chill behind me, as if something was slowly walking towards me, I didn't have to think about it to know, it was the soul seducer.
I felt that I was getting closer and closer, and the soul messenger had come to my back, and I even felt that he was blowing a cold wind at me, and I was left alone in the mourning hall, and I was so frightened that I quickly lay on the ground, and did not dare to look up again, and then the candles became dimmed, and the whole room was illuminated in a miserable green.
I couldn't stop pleading in my heart, at this time, suddenly there was a whirlwind in front of my eyes, the whirlwind squeaked the paper ashes in the basin, and the whole room flew around, and the paper ashes flew towards the door like butterflies, and when the whirlwind was gone, the room suddenly became hot, and the two candles in front of the young master's bed also returned to normal.
At this time, someone came to see if I was dead, and I scolded them, but I was a subordinate after all, and as soon as the Hou family's family came, I had to keep quiet, and then I waited for the master to come back. The next morning, Master Hou finally came back, followed by the famous doctor who was invited, but as soon as Master Hou saw the white cloth and white lantern at the door, he knew what was going on, he ran towards the house crying, first cried for a while, and then yelled outside: "Hou San, you dog slave, get me in." ”
I was startled, and hurriedly ran in, and the old man pointed to the brown paper on the young master's face and asked sharply, "Hou San, did you do this?" ”
I stammered, "Yes, but this ......."
The old man yelled, "But what, you bastard, peel off the brown paper off my son's face for me." ”
Master Hou's thunderous anger scared my legs weak, but I didn't dare not listen, so I walked over tremblingly, and slowly opened the kraft paper on the young master's face, only to see the young master's face bruised, his mouth open, and his eyes closed. At this time, Master Hou walked over in a few steps, grabbed the collar of my clothes, slapped me in the face a few times, and scolded while beating: "You bastard, suffocated my son alive, I want you to pay for your life." Come on, pull this bastard down and beat him to death. ”
After Master Hou said this, the people behind him were stunned, I hurriedly begged the master to spare his life, and said the root cause of the matter, Master Hou asked others again, others are also my statement, Master Hou listened, walked a few steps, and then turned to those subordinates and shouted: "Give me Hou San twenty strokes in the mouth, hit me hard, and don't show mercy." "Piracy is shameful, please support the genuine, my author group 206097480, add the group to verify, support the genuine.
I hurriedly asked the master why he beat me, and the master said that I was a dog in their family, and the young master learned badly, and I taught him, alas, there was paste on the head of the dead man, and they couldn't help but pull me aside, and then said something offended, and began to slap me in the face. ”
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and asked me to look at his teeth, I saw that there were indeed several teeth missing, but thinking about what Hou San had done, he said fiercely: "You deserve it, you are completely self-inflicted, and continue to speak." ”
Hou San hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, sir, I, Hou San, really asked for myself." Thinking about it, I am a character who on other people's necks, but now everyone else rides on my neck to, my beaten teeth are broken, my nose is blue and my face is swollen, and then the old man said: "Hou San, I should have killed you, but when you made friends with my son and burned paper, I was conscientious, and I spared your dog's life." ”
As soon as I heard this, I quickly thanked Master Hou, who said: "The death penalty can be avoided and the living crime is unforgivable, since you are good friends with my son, my son just has no queen, you will give my son linen and filial piety, carry the old basin, be my son's descendant, and send my son to the end." ”
When I heard this, I was angry in my heart, but I was under the eaves, how could I not bow my head, so I had to swallow that breath, nodded, and became a son for the young master, and wore linen and filial piety to keep the young master's spirit. That night, the Hou family built a mourning shed in the courtyard, moved the young master's mourning bed to the mourning shed, and then put an old basin of burning paper and an everlasting lamp, and invited a few monks. began to give the young master a super soul, while I was in the spirit shed, guarding the young master's soul.
In the middle of the night, the chickens don't bark and the dogs don't bite, there is no movement around, the family is crooked outside the spiritual shed, snoring and sleeping, the old monks are also drowsy, and after a long time, knock on the wooden fish, and read the scriptures I don't understand. I don't dare to take a nap, but I heard the old man say, this wake is mainly to prevent cats and dogs from entering the funeral shed, especially cats, there is a kind of thing on the body of the dead that people can't smell, specifically to attract cats, cats are yin, if the cat climbs on the face of the dead to pee will cause the corpse to change, the dead will suddenly sit up, causing the corpse to be cheated. As I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a pair of green eyes staring at me. ```
