28: Funeral with a rooster crow
Encounter a ghost hitting the wall.
If you want to eliminate it, you must know how to crack it. Or you can only wait until dawn to disappear on its own, which I happened to hear from my grandmother once.
In the quiet, thinking of my grandmother's plan to go out for a funeral in the middle of the night, even if Xu Buhuo was arranging something, if I couldn't go out, wouldn't I even be able to send her last trip?
Tears flowed down uncontrollably.
I have never felt so helpless and powerless since I was born. The coldness around me made me shrink my body hard, trying to shrink myself into a tight ball, and I felt that this was the only way to be comfortable.
Irresistible sleepiness came without warning.
In a daze, I heard footsteps, looked up, someone was walking from the direction of the old house with a flashlight, I didn't dare to give up, and wanted to try to get his attention, only to move only to find that my hands and feet had already been numb.
When someone approached, I opened my mouth to shout to see who it was, and I was so frightened that I pressed the voice that came to my throat.
The person who played the flashlight was the Xu Buhuo who scared me.
He looked like he was going to look for me.
Looking at Xu Buhuo, I wanted to speak out, but there was a thought that seemed to tell me that he was a bad person, and if you don't go out, don't let him find you.
Fact, what you don't think is what you are. Xu Buhuo walked over from a distance of three meters from me, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped with a soft snort, and then the flashlight shone around, as if he had found me.
Soon, Xu Buhuo walked the Jiugong step under his feet, and within a few steps, his flashlight shone on me.
"Meridian? Why are you here? Xu Buhuo pulled me up from the ground, and although my tone was full of concern, I still subconsciously stayed away from him, but my legs and feet were numb and uncontrollable.
"I'll just say why haven't you gone back yet, it turns out that you encountered a ghost hitting the wall."
Xu Buhuo saw that my legs and feet were numb, so he put me on his back, and stepped on the Jiugong step, and after a few clicks, I felt a chill around me, and my breathing became smoother, and I knew that I had come out of the ghost wall.
On the way, Xu Buhuo asked me what was wrong, why did my head bleed, and I calmly said that I fell.
Knowing that all this was the layout of the person who carried me behind my back, I couldn't do anything, and when I returned to the old house, my mother saw that there was blood on my face, and she was so frightened that she almost cried.
My mother dragged me to wash the blood on my face, and was about to take the medicine, I saw that it was twelve o'clock in one minute, thinking that Uncle Qin must destroy the magic circle on the ground before the coffin, I struggled to touch the coffin, rubbed it with my feet, and found that I couldn't wipe the blood on the ground away, so I went out to find a knife, and the six uncles who carried the coffin all looked at me with curiosity.
As soon as I arrived at the door with a knife, Xu Buhuo stopped in front of me, "What are you going to do with a knife?" ”
The look in the eyes is terrifying.
I said I didn't do anything, I was about to enter the door by bypassing him, but as soon as I entered the door, my hand suddenly emptied, and the knife was snatched away by Xu Buhuo, he threw the knife outside the courtyard and said, "That old guy didn't let you destroy the magic circle on the ground." ”
I didn't speak, staring at Xu Buhuo, although his expression was calm, I felt that he should be panicked at the moment.
"Do you believe him or not?" Xu Buhuo was a little angry.
I thought in my heart: You continue to pretend, I'll see how long you can pretend, turned around and walked to the coffin, ready to use my hands to destroy the magic circle on the ground, but I just squatted down, and Xu Buhu's low voice sounded: "Rise the coffin." ”
The six uncles, who had been waiting around the coffin for a long time, stood up and carried the lifting pole that had been tied earlier, and the mother brought the chicken sitting in the coffin and put it on the coffin.
I just stood there and watched my grandmother's coffin be carried out the door.
"You're not going?" Xu Buhuo turned his head to look at me.
Looking at my grandmother's coffin, I took a breath helplessly, knowing that everything was a foregone conclusion, and since I couldn't stop it, I couldn't help but send my grandmother on the last ride, picked up the posthumous photo and walked to the coffin.
After being discharged from the hospital, the coffin was placed on a cart. Xu Buhuo walked in front with three yellow incense sticks in his hand, and I followed him with a posthumous photo.
"The dead go on the road, and the living take refuge." Xu Buhuo read as he grabbed the yellow paper from the cloth bag and scattered it.
All around, the creaking of the wheels of the board was a little scary. I looked around, wondering if the corpse that had been led away by Uncle Qin would come out to stop us from giving grandma a funeral.
The closer I got to the cemetery, the more nervous I felt like something was going to happen.
However, when we got to the cemetery, I realized that it was me who was nervous.
Along the way, nothing appeared.
By the moonlight, Xu Buhuo quickly demarcated the location of the cemetery, and the six uncles knew that the time was urgent, so they hurriedly started digging, and I stood by my grandmother's coffin to guard.
During my absence, a lot of grids were bounced on the coffin with chicken blood, just like in a movie, Lin Daochang used chicken blood to bounce the line on the coffin to seal the zombies.
Will grandma also be a corpse?
Xu Buhuo suddenly came to me and stared at me, and said: "Ziwu, I don't know what you talked about with that old man, and I also know that you doubt my identity and intentions now, but now is the critical moment, and I also seriously tell you that everything I am doing now is what I owe to your grandmother, whether you believe it or not, when these things are over, I will give you an explanation you want." ”
I didn't expect that Xu Buhuo would suddenly come to me to say these words, obviously, he understood that I knew something, so he said: "Grandma asked me to invite Mr. Xu, the feng shui master of Xishan Village, not you." ”
"Heh......"
Xu Buhuo sneered, and said in a slightly angry tone: "How do you know that there is only one Mr. Xu in Xishan Village, how can you be sure that I am not the Mr. Xu that your grandmother is looking for?" ”
I had long thought that Xu Buhuo would say this, but I didn't say anything.
"Up to now, I can only tell you that the old man is definitely not what you know now, after thinking about it, I think your grandmother's sudden death must have something to do with him, followed by the matter of Village Chief Liu, it is estimated that it is inseparable from him."
"Heh......"
I couldn't help but reply with a sneer.
"Let me tell you, I am also Mr. Xu, if you fake Mr. Xu, when these things are dealt with, I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation."
Although Xu Buhuo's tone sounded so real, I knew that I couldn't be as stupid as before, just say a few good words and be so obedient. As my grandmother said before her death, when I grow up, I have to have my own opinions, and I have to learn to distinguish the facts.
Xu Buhuo was still staring at me, as if I didn't believe him, and he was ready to continue staring like this. Distraught by his eyes, I said impatiently, "If you want to explain, explain now, if you can explain everything clearly, I can trust you." ”
"I won't explain it to you now, it's not that I don't want to explain it to you now, it's that your grandmother doesn't want me to explain it to you now, some of her secrets are not yet spoken, and this is also your family's secret."
Throwing down this sentence, Xu Buhuo went to help, I stood next to the coffin, looked at Xu Buhuo who was seriously surveying, thinking about his prevaricating words, my heart was complicated and confused.
Grandma's secret? My family's secret? I don't understand what Xu Buhuo said again.
The heart still seems to be a little soft, although he warned himself vigorously before, no matter what Xu Buhuo said, he didn't listen to anything, but now, his words made me shake again.
Forty minutes later, the grave was dug and several uncles carried Grandma's coffin and slowly put it into the coffin.
The coffin chicken was still sitting on the coffin, and when the bottom of the grandmother's coffin fell to the ground, the coffin chicken, which had not made a sound, suddenly opened his throat and screamed.
The scream was so sudden that it not only startled me, but also the uncle who helped me was so frightened that I crawled away.
At the same time, the crowing of a rooster suddenly came from the village below the mountain, and it was again a rooster crowing again.
I feel that the roosters of the whole village are crowing at this moment.
Smack!
Before we came back to our senses, grandma's coffin was still standing straight a second ago, and the chicken sitting in the coffin screaming at the top of her voice suddenly fell on her stomach and fell on the coffin.
He's dead.
The coffin-sitting chicken died instantly.
What's even more bizarre is that with the death of the chicken sitting in the coffin, the crowing of a rooster in the village also disappeared in an instant.
The scene was eerily quiet.
In the middle of the night, I don't know why the roosters in the village crow, but it feels like they are giving my grandmother another funeral.
Xu Buhu was the first to come back to his senses, he hurriedly lit three incense sticks, knelt in front of his grandmother's grave, and whispered: "Sister Chen, go all the way, you explain my affairs, I will do it even if I try my best." ”
These words pierced my heart heavily.
Several uncles were also frightened, and they trembled and lit incense to worship my grandmother, and I also lit incense, kowtowed nine times, and then covered the soil.
The grave stone was pressed up, and the time was exactly one point.
After working for so many days and a lot of strange things, I finally buried my grandmother, and my hanging heart completely fell.
A few uncles packed up their things, Xu Buhuo stood in front of the grave and looked at the grave in a daze, I couldn't help but say, "What, is the change beyond your plan?" ”
These words are mixed with ironic thoughts.
People are like this, when they have a prejudice against someone, even if the other party stands motionless, they feel poked, I think I think I think this is the case with Xu Buhuo now.
"Don't you feel that this road is too peaceful?"
I was about to say that calm is not just right, Xu Buhuo said: "According to the previous situation, I calculated that tonight was the most dangerous moment, so I arranged a lot of preparations, but those preparations were useless, so calmly bury your grandmother, I feel that something is wrong." ”
Calm is exactly what I want, I don't bother to pay attention to Xu Buhuo, I turned around and left, Xu Buhuo followed alongside, my fingers kept moving around, like something.
Although my heart was very uncomfortable, thinking about what happened before, as well as the chains and ropes soaked in chicken blood during the day, and the rest of the things prepared, I felt that the truth did not seem to be Xu Buhuo's expectations.
After thinking about it carefully, it was just right to comfort myself that nothing had happened, but I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say what was wrong, and my heart felt like something big was going to happen, and I couldn't help but panic.
As I was about to leave the cemetery, I suddenly felt as if someone was looking at me from behind me, and I subconsciously turned my head to look at it. Faintly, I saw a black shadow flickering next to my grandmother's grave, and the flashlight shone towards the mountain, but I didn't see anything.
Xu Buhuo also stopped to look at his grandmother's grave, glanced at it for a few seconds, and then turned around and continued to descend the mountain, I thought back to the feeling I had just appeared, and then wondered if I was dazzled.
As soon as I entered the village, there was a commotion in the direction of the old house, and I looked up to see that there were many people in the village in front of the old house, and my heart chuckled.
We went up the mountain for the funeral, and my mother was left alone in the old house.
