Chapter 9: Tai Sui
I shook my head and said, "Don't think about it, your grandfather was a skin at the beginning, and now it's long gone." What's inside the coffin, is ...... Tai Sui! ”
"Tai Sui?" Tong Xiao was even more surprised.
Tong Ziqi and Xia Zhengyang also came over and asked, "What is Tai Sui?" ”
"Tai Sui is Tai Sui, what are you talking about?" I lazily turned around and beckoned to the villagers: "Come back, everyone, it's not haunted." I didn't even run, what are you running? ”
Seeing me so calm, the frightened villagers gradually gathered again.
After all, it was broad daylight, and with so many people present, everyone emboldened each other, and it was still possible to overcome this fear.
When the villagers came back, I said again: "I can see clearly, inside the coffin is a two-eyed Tai Sui, and now the evil spirit has been discharged, and there is no harm." ”
With that, I held a shovel and pried open the coffin myself.
In the white sunlight, in the corner of the coffin's big head, there was a mass of gray flesh, about the size of a hedgehog.
Old Man Tong's clothes were spread flat at the bottom of the coffin, and they had already decayed, and he could only see a rough idea.
"This is Tai Sui?"
"No wonder so many people fall for evil, it turns out that we are breaking ground on Tai Sui's head!"
All around them whispered to themselves, and their voices trembled.
I held a shovel and flicked the Tai Sui.
Tai Sui was soft and trembling, rolled over, and the two red eyes blinked, and quickly closed again.
"There are eyes, they are too old to have long eyes!" The villagers exclaimed again.
Tong Xiao hid behind me, and didn't know what to think, so she suddenly asked, "Mr. Lin, I heard that eating Tai Sui meat can prolong your life, this thing...... Can you eat it? ”
I was stunned and speechless!
I heard that southerners eat everything, and foreigners who land on earth will be taken to make soup. I didn't expect Tong Xiao to be so violent, and he didn't even let go of Tai Sui dug up in the ancestral grave!
"I'll just ask casually......" Tong Xiao sneered.
I shook my head: "If you want to eat it, you can bring this thing back, but I don't care if you get sick from eating." ”
"Forget it, I don't dare to eat it." Tong Xiao looked at the Tai Sui in the coffin, and asked, "Mr. Lin, what should I do with this Tai Sui?" ”
"Tai Sui who grew in the cemetery is said to be very evil, so let's pick up some dry firewood and grass from all around and burn this thing." I say.
The villagers were also frightened, so they hurried to pick up a pile of dead branches and hay. It was winter, and there were a lot of dead branches and a lot of corn stalks in the fields.
I scooped up Tai Sui with a shovel, threw it into a pile of dead branches, and set it on fire.
The flames rose, and Tai Sui moved slightly inside, and then calmed down.
Xia Zhengyang asked me: "Mr. Lin, it seems that you already knew that there was Tai Sui in the grave, right?" ”
I smiled proudly: "Such a grave, there is a problem with the left and right, and it is a boneless burial, and there will inevitably be Tai Sui." ”
In the handwriting of uncle and grandfather Lin Sanpao, there was such a record, and after verifying it today, it turned out to be exactly the same!
Tong Xiao looked at the rotten clothes at the bottom of the coffin, and asked with a sad face, "Mr. Lin, but my grandfather moved the grave...... What to do if you pick up gold? ”
I pulled it with a shovel at the bottom of the coffin. The shrouds were all glued to the coffin board, and the scratches were also decayed crumbs.
People pick up gold, but they can still pick up a few dry bones, but there is nothing in the grave of the old man Tong!
I was silent for a moment and said to Tong Xiao:
"Boss Tong, I'll tell you the truth, in your grandfather's situation, now that the grave is open, if the grave is moved, it will be a psychological effect. Don't expect the grave to be removed and bring you any good luck. Even if you bury your grandfather in the Dragon Tiger Land, it will not do you and your descendants any good. ”
A look of disappointment flashed on Tong Xiao's face, and then he returned to normal and said, "What Mr. Lin said is that I didn't expect the grave relocation to change Feng Shui, this ...... It's just the last wish of my father. ”
I nodded my head: "Then it doesn't matter, if you pick up gold, you can scrape a layer of debris from the bottom of the coffin and put it in the gold box." ”
"Okay, okay, everything is up to Mr. Lin!" Tong Xiao nodded hurriedly.
Without delay, I picked up the big shovel and shoveled it like dung, shoveled it all over the bottom of the coffin, scraped some crumbs, and put it in a gold box.
It is estimated that people like me who pick up gold are also exclusive in the country.
After picking up the gold, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
According to the rules, after noon, it cannot be buried in the ground, so the gold box of the old man Tong can only be put aside for a while, waiting for tomorrow's burial.
The so-called relocation of the grave is like a new burial, and the gold box is temporarily placed, just like a suspended spirit, there must be incense and candles to worship, and someone to protect it!
If Tong Xiao's family lives locally, it is easy to do, bring the gold box back, build a shed in front of the door, place the gold box, and light incense and candles. The next day, I carried it out again, and when I buried it, it was over.
But Tong Xiao is in her hometown, not to mention the ancestral house, and she doesn't even have cousins in her own family!
Tong Xiao also knew about this situation and asked me: "Mr. Lin, you can't be buried today, this gold box ...... What to do? ”
I said, "It stands to reason that they are for the Spiritual Watch...... Why don't you pitch a tent here and stay with your grandfather at night? ”
Tong Xiao was frightened, waved her hand, and said, "No, no, I'm cowardly...... I'm scared. ”
I shrugged: "Then I can't help it, the spirit guard is the business of the descendants, not the work of Mr. Yin and Yang." Otherwise, you'll just put the gold box in the trunk of your car. ”
The gold box is only three feet long, one foot high and one foot wide, so it is not a problem to put it in the trunk.
Tong Xiao hesitated again, grabbed her scalp and said, "So, isn't it...... Too disrespectful to the ancestors? ”
I laughed: "You want to respect your ancestors, but you don't want to keep a watch, what should you do?" ”
Tong Xiao rolled her eyes and blurted out: "If Mr. Lin doesn't help me keep the spirit, I'll add you money!" ”
I'll go, you're not dead yet, ask me to help you keep a watch? Even if you die, I am not your son-in-law, why do I give you a vigil?
I frowned slightly and muttered, "Actually...... It's not about adding money, the main thing is, I'll keep a watch for you, I don't have a name. That's good, you Tong family guard, I'll accompany you here. As for the extra money...... Feel free to do whatever you want, just don't treat me badly. ”
Tong Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay, okay, let's make a decision." I'll arrange a tent, and in addition, add another 10,000 yuan to you, and I'll give it now! ”
10,000 yuan? My heart trembled, a rich man is a rich man!
Xia Zhengyang walked over and handed me a bundle of banknotes: "Mr. Lin, this is 10,000 yuan, you can order it." There is also fifteen thousand hardship fees, which will be given to you tomorrow. ”
I was ecstatic and hurriedly put the banknotes in my pocket: "No need to order, no need to order, Boss Tong is so generous, I am very relieved." ”
Xia Zhengyang nodded, and led the villagers down the mountain to buy tents.
I carried 10,000 yuan, sat on the ridge, imagined the 15,000 tail payment tomorrow, looked at the direction of my hometown, and was excited: Cuihua, your husband has made a fortune! When I come back, I'll dress you up and make you the first lady in our village!" Dad, thank you for your eight-generation ancestors for bringing me out to be Mr. Bai Xiang, and I really earn more than at home!
……
Tong Ziqi walked over, sat down next to me, stabbed me with his arm, and asked, "Hey, Mr. Gaoren, do you accept apprentices?" ”
I was stunned, shook my head and said, "Yes, but after I am forty years old, and the craft is only passed on to my son." ”
Tong Ziqi pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows and said, "It's better to be like this, you can accept me as an apprentice." I see that you are very greedy for money, and I happen to have money, so I can pay more tuition, how about it? ”
I was furious, and when I saw the old boy standing in the distance, I whispered: "Miss Tong is empathetic and anxious, knowing that I am greedy for money, you are willing to give more money." Then I'm still a little erotic, and Miss Tong happens to be very beautiful, isn't it ......?"
Tong Ziqi's face changed, and he turned his head and shouted at Lao Tong: "Daddy——! ”
I was startled and hurriedly whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm kidding......"
