Chapter 2: Carrying the Corpse
"What are you talking about?" When Uncle Li heard this, he suddenly jumped up: "Wait, what are you talking about?" ”
"Old man Li, I don't know much about this, you better come back and take a look!" The man kept his voice low, as if he was afraid of something.
"Okay, I'll be right back." Uncle Li had a serious expression on his pale face.
"Okay." The phone hangs up.
Then I listened to Uncle Li take a deep look at the big tree hole, sighed, and pulled me down the mountain.
"Uncle Li, what's wrong with my mother?"
Uncle Li glanced at me, hesitated, and finally said: "In July, your mother was killed by your family or hanged, hey!" In the end, your old Shen family can't stand him, I was worried that she would come back and ask for her life, so I thought of sending her away in this way, but I didn't expect that her resentment was so deep, and she actually wanted our whole village to bury her. ”
I wasn't too scared myself, but now when I heard Uncle Li say this, I began to be scared in my heart, and I grabbed the corner of Uncle Li's clothes tightly.
After a while, we were at our doorstep.
Uncle Li stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the people inside heard Uncle Li's voice and immediately opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, I saw several people carrying the coffin, quickly surrounding Uncle Li.
I looked at the coffin in the back room, and there were a few hemp ropes and sticks.
"Uncle Li......"
As soon as everyone wanted to speak, they saw Uncle Li waving his hand, reaching out and taking the three sticks of incense and walking towards the coffin, muttering in his mouth: "Her mother in July, you should go back quickly for the sake of July, the road in July is still long, do you have to take July with you?" My old Li Tou respects you more, but if you don't listen to persuasion, I won't let you do anything wrong! ”
When Uncle Li said this, the people who carried the coffin all had frightened looks on their faces.
Speaking of evil, Uncle Li just finished speaking, and the incense in his hand burned more than half in an instant.
This strange scene frightened the faces of everyone present to turn pale, only Uncle Li smiled calmly: "It's okay, let's start." ”
At this time, they had already been frightened for nine days, and when they heard Uncle Li's words, they all looked at each other and did not dare to step forward.
Uncle Li scolded angrily: "It's all a group of big men, what are you afraid of." ”
"It's been doing it for so many years, and I'm still afraid of this thing, so I'll come first." The person who spoke to Uncle Li at first roared and walked straight to the coffin.
Those people were still hesitating, but they were glared at by Uncle Li, and hurried to the edge of the coffin, standing on both sides of the coffin, and it happened to be four people carrying the coffin.
Uncle Li gritted his teeth and nodded, shouting at the top of his voice: "People and ghosts are unpredictable, yin people are on the road, filial piety leads the way, and the descendants of Fuze are up!" ”
Just after Uncle Li finished speaking, the few people who carried the coffin immediately squatted down and started, only to see the coffin standing in the air and trembling violently.
Everyone was puzzled, but no one dared to speak.
Uncle Li pushed me in front of the coffin, stuffed a big in my hand and said, "In July, you lead the way for your mother, you remember that in the process of carrying the coffin, the coffin must not fall to the ground!" ”
After Uncle Li reminded me, I walked in front with the big rooster that was crowing.
"Bang!"
But before I could reach the gate, the door was kicked open by a man.
It's my father, and some villagers.
Just when everyone was stunned, the hemp rope on the coffin suddenly broke.
The coffin fell heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and the people who carried the coffin all sat on the ground in fright, and the big in my hand flew out.
"The coffin falls to the ground, and the descendants pay for their lives! Shen Ergou, are you trying to kill us? Uncle Li grabbed my father by the collar and punched him hard.
Uncle Li was furious, and my father got up from the ground in embarrassment, looked at the coffin, and said with a sneer: "Who wants it or who!" You slept with my daughter-in-law and brought me a cuckold, why do you still want to beat me to death? Hahaha, it's useless, now that this is dead, you just want to around, and you have to go down to accompany her. ”
Uncle Li was out of breath, grabbed my father's collar and threw him out instantly: "Lao Tzu told you, hurry up and go back to your mother's house for me, don't come back before the first seven and two seven, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and not recognizing people!" ”
My father looked at Uncle Li's fierce and vicious appearance, and he was still scared in the end, so he immediately ran out.
Seeing this, Uncle Li took a deep breath and looked at the coffin makers: "Excuse me, thank you on behalf of July, and accept my worship." ”
Uncle Li was about to kneel down as he spoke, but was hurriedly supported by those people: "I can't help it, I can't help it, old Li Tou, what do you think we should do next?" ”
"Hey, there's no way, July's mother is too resentful, and now the coffins have fallen to the ground, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid the whole village will suffer, July!" Uncle Li suddenly yelled at me.
I was excited, and quickly replied, "What's wrong, Uncle Li? ”
"July, your mother doesn't want to leave now, you are her closest flesh and blood, so you can only carry her on your back." As soon as Uncle Li finished speaking, he pushed the coffin lid with both hands.
I was still young at that time, and I didn't know what the concept of memorization was, but I knew that Uncle Li would do whatever I asked me to do: "Okay." ”
"Good boy." When Uncle Li saw that I agreed, he tried to push the coffin lid open with both hands, but the coffin lid did not move at all, as if it was held down by something.
Seeing this, several coffin makers all went over to help, but several tried hard at the same time but did not push the coffin lid open.
Several people's faces became iron-blue, and they kept taking a few steps back, at this time, the ever-bright lamp flickered as if it was indicating something, Uncle Li hurriedly ran to the front of the ever-bright lamp, re-added sesame oil, and took an incense burner in front of the coffin, and said to me: "July, what Uncle Li is saying now, maybe you still don't understand, now you can suppress your mother, only you, you have to guard your mother's coffin, look at the ever-bright lamp, don't go out, don't be afraid, is this your mother?" ”
Before I could speak, I saw Uncle Li and said, "Li Er, you and I hurry up to the town to find Aunt Ma, I must send her mother to leave before dark today, go!" ”
"Okay."
Watching Uncle Li leave, a few coffin makers also left quickly, so I went to a corner, squatted down, burned a little paper money for my mother, and guarded the everlasting lamp.
Although the lights were on in the hall, I kept my head down and didn't dare to look at my mother's coffin.
It's almost dawn, Uncle Li hasn't come back yet, I'm so sleepy that I don't know when I'll fall asleep.
Suddenly, I felt a chill behind me, and I immediately woke up with a shiver from the cold.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw my mother, with long hair hanging down, her pale face with my father's bruises, her eyes were like copper bells, and two bloody tears flowed out, just looking at me straight without blinking.
"Ahh I screamed in fright.
My mother seemed to be crying, maybe the blood was thicker than water, and although I couldn't hear my mother crying, I could still feel that she was very sad.
"July, Mother's Baby......"
I was scared and didn't know what to do, but my mother spoke gloomily.
She even reached out to me, as if trying to pull me.
As soon as I was scared, I kept shrinking back, crying and saying, "Mother, mother...... I'm scared...... Don't scare me......"
Bang!
In an instant, my voice fell.
Suddenly, the door of my house was blown open by the wind, and a dark wind suddenly poured in.
I rubbed my eyes and looked at the door, there seemed to be someone at the door, who was it?
I could even hear the ticking sound in the silence of the space.
I rubbed my eyes and looked at him, only to see that he was holding a coffin stick in his hand.
I was startled and quickly looked back at my mother, but my mother was gone, and the ever-bright light had been extinguished!
