Chapter 12: Building the Bones

I was a little confused, and I didn't know what my grandfather was thinking, so I just burned it in order according to the rules taught by my grandfather.

When my grandfather came, he taught me a few words, which probably meant that when he burned it, he told them that the previous things were all misunderstandings, and he burned something to show his heart.

Although my grandfather didn't tell me much, I followed him since I was a child, and everything he did had a cause and effect, and since he asked me about marrying a daughter-in-law, it was inevitable that the next thing I did had something to do with it.

It is not uncommon for a dead person to marry a dead person in our village, but it is really the first time that a living person marries a corpse.

Although that girl is beautiful, I also want to marry her, but thinking that she is a dead person, I still feel a little unsure.

Especially the grandfather's sentence, saying that her father and mother beat me to death, and their daughter is a widow, so I am so unsteady, what if I really beat me to death?

Grandpa's routines are deep, and I have never been able to figure it out.

In the past, it was also popular in the village to 'build bones and corpses', and the so-called 'building corpses' was to have a happy event with the dead, also called 'corpse bones'.

Several villages in our vicinity are relatively remote and backward, and compared with other places, many people cannot afford to eat, and many men and women die young.

For those men and women who died early, in order to let them have a care below, the family will use the bones to make them husband and wife.

I remember that when I only remembered, I often slept in a daze and heard the sound of suona outside, and the drum and trumpet played lively.

Later, I asked my grandfather, and he told me that it was a marriage of a dead man, and the living should avoid it. The sedan chair basically puts the girl's relics or photos, and then re-buries them when they get married.

After a year or so, I heard the sound of a baby crying at night, and the people in the village said that it was a baby born to them with corpses, because they were afraid that it was a child, and a child is our dialect here, which refers to a baby that has not yet been born or died young, and resentment will harm people.

Because the people in the village were panicked, they specially invited Taoist priests to do it.

It was a sensation, so I remember it well.

I did what my grandfather told me and burned everything down.

Grandpa suddenly said to me, "You kid has done something immoral, don't think about it, I'll kill you when I go back!" As he spoke, Grandpa deliberately reached out and hit me twice on the back, and Grandpa saw that I didn't react, so he deliberately winked at me.

I came back to my senses and quickly wailed and begged for mercy, "Grandpa hurts!" Don't fight, don't fight. ”

Grandpa held a spirit banner with the eight characters of birth in his left hand, and dragged my arm with his right hand to go back, while scolding me in all kinds of ways.

After walking for about an hour, my grandfather and I returned home to rest.

When I got home, my grandfather changed his attitude again, he scolded me all the way back just now, and now he looks like nothing happened, so he takes out his cigarette stick and smokes it when he comes back to the house.

I was full of doubts, so I followed my grandfather into the house, and I was about to speak, but my grandfather stopped me, "You pout your ass, I know what shit you want to shit, put down what you want to ask first, and then talk about it." ”

I had no choice but to make a noise, bring a small bench from the side, and sit honestly next to my grandfather.

After only a few minutes, there was a whirring wind outside the house, and Grandpa suddenly put down the cigarette stick in his hand, with a smile on his face, "Go and get a stick of incense, don't do more!" ”

I went again to take out the incense and, as my grandfather had requested, put the lighted incense in the house.

What surprised me was that the little female ghost actually came to the door of my house, looked inside, saw that my grandfather and I were in the house, hesitated to come in, sniffed the aroma of the house, and couldn't help but walk in.

Seeing her this time, she obviously lost a lot of weight, it seems that what the land lord said is true, and she almost died.

She came in and said to my grandfather, "You, don't beat him, don't blame him, don't blame him." ”

Because my grandfather had beaten her before, she was always scared when she saw my grandfather, and she looked cute when she stood next to her trembling and timid.

Grandpa smiled and beckoned her to come forward and sit on the side.

The little girl bit her lip and didn't dare a little, but seeing my grandfather's smiling face, she still walked towards me after hesitating for a few moments and sat beside me obediently.

Grandpa usually blows his beard and stares at people when he sees them, but she always smiles, and the corners of her mouth are confiscated, I wonder if this is still my grandfather?

Grandpa asked her with a smile on his face, "Little girl, what's your name?" ”

The little girl blinked her big eyes and replied blankly, "Zhang Yao." ”

Grandpa frowned, got up and took out a pen and paper from the cabinet and handed it to her, "You write it down." ”

The little girl picked up the pen again and clumsily wrote her name, and I looked at it curiously, and the handwriting was very beautiful, the best handwriting I have ever seen.

Grandpa looked at the words on the paper and put it away with a smile, "Got it." Grandpa turned around and sat on the chair again, looked at Zhang Yao and said, "Chen Tian did something wrong, and I should beat him, but since you came to intercede and the matter started because of the two of you, it is better for you to apologize to Bai, and everyone should put down the misunderstanding." ”

Zhang Yao listened to her grandfather's words, and bowed to me very obediently to admit her mistake, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't let my father and mother beat you." ”

The girls took the initiative, and I was still stunned, so I had to quickly get up and reply, "I'm sorry." ”

Grandpa smiled when he saw the situation, poured two glasses of water on the table and handed them to us, "If you are thirsty, you two drink some water, lest you both come to me Chen Huaiying, and you will not even drink saliva if you are stingy." ”

When I was about to drink it, my grandfather suddenly said, "If you two really don't misunderstand, give each other water to drink, which seems to have let go of the previous misunderstanding." ”

The more I listened, the more I felt that something was wrong, and I felt that my grandfather was doing something again, so I didn't dare to say more, so I had to change the cup with Zhang Yao according to my grandfather's request.

Then the grandfather said, "It's almost dawn, and if you go back, you'll have to be bitten by the dog, so stay with us today, and we'll send you back tomorrow when it's dark." ”

Zhang Yao was bitten by a dog before, and there was still a shadow in her heart, and when she heard my grandfather talk about dogs, she trembled, so she had to nod her head and reluctantly live in my house.

Grandpa said that he was beaten by his grandmother and his whole body hurt, and I would mention him if I didn't sleep honestly, so I asked Zhang Yao and I to go to sleep in the house.

After I took the foot and face wash, I cleaned myself up and quickly got into the bed.

This is the first time I have slept in the same bed with a girl, and Zhang Yao also seemed a little shy, but because it was dawn, she couldn't get out, so she had to climb into bed.

Neither of us spoke, and it wasn't long before I fell asleep.

On the second night, according to what my grandfather promised, we sent the little female ghost back, and as soon as we walked to the tomb of their village, we saw Zhang Yao's father and mother standing not far away, looking at us with fierce eyes, as if something terrible had happened.

I know very well the ruthlessness of her father's mother's beating, and I vomited a few times last time, so I was naturally afraid, and subconsciously took two steps back and hid behind my grandfather.

Zhang Yao saw that her father and mother were coming, so she quickened her pace and walked towards the grave.

Her father leaned down and asked Zhang Yao, "Did they beat you?" Where did it hurt? ”

Zhang Yao shook his head and whispered, "No, they entertained me with delicious food and drink." ”

Grandpa smiled at this time, "It should take care of my granddaughter-in-law, after all, we will be a family in the future, how can there be an overnight feud!" ”

When the words fell, Zhang Yao's father's face was gloomy, and his father scolded angrily, "Old immortal!" Less of her mother took advantage of my daughter, the matter of your blasphemy and ghost pretending to be a heavenly master has been reported to the City God Temple, waiting to be cleaned up, don't talk about it here! ”

Grandpa still smiled and said, "Zhang Yao has passed the door of my Chen family, you have received the bride price, Zhang Yao has left the family, and the wine cave room has been done, how can there be any reason not to admit it?" ”

"You fart!" Her father was so angry that he bared his teeth and scolded her grandfather, and the fist in his hand was tightly pulled, if grandpa continued to talk, it is estimated that we will all be beaten.

Grandpa took out a piece of letter paper from his pocket again, and said with a meaningful expression, "A marriage letter, Ming Media is marrying, the status and the truth of husband and wife, if you have to let them split up, our Chen family will not suffer, and your daughter will be married for the second time." ”
