Chapter 12: Cremation
Zombies are usually stiff all over, with black, sharp nails, sharp canine teeth, and a fear of sunlight. - Li Jushi
"Layman, is there something wrong with my old man? My old man has worked hard enough and worked hard enough in front of him, and if he dies, he will not be at peace······" The old woman fell to her knees all of a sudden, from sobbing softly to beating her chest and crying, a handful of snot and tears, and I felt very sad as an outsider.
"You get up first, maybe the situation is not so bad, take me to the old man's graveyard!" The layman helped the old woman and asked me to clean up and prepare to do a big job, don't ask me how I know, it was the light in the layman's eyes that told me, I knew that maybe something interesting would happen soon, if I said in my heart that it would be a lie if I wasn't excited, if I wasn't nervous, it would definitely be a lie, I just hoped that a demon or something would appear quickly for me to clean up, I had long wanted to do this.
Led by the old woman and Wang Yan, the four of us quickly went up the mountain and hurried towards the place where the old man was buried after his death.
"This is it."
"Okay, let's do it together, dig the grave!" The layman said in a deep voice, and I couldn't see a trace of panic or joke on his face.
"Dig... Gravedigging ····· ·····" The old woman also didn't expect that this layman would dig up the grave of his old man when he came.
"You should have guessed it from the time I asked your son to come up with a hoe and shovel, but I just had a glimmer of hope, the old man is gone, dust is back, dust is back to dust, dust is back to earth, let's mourn and change." The layman sighed and motioned for Wang Yan to make a move.
Wang Yan glanced at her mother with a complicated expression, and the old woman closed her eyes and nodded after a little thought.
Wang Yan was no longer a mother-in-law, spit a mouthful of saliva into the palm of his hand, and then raised his hoe and smashed it towards his father's grave, splashing loess with each smash.
After about a stick of incense, the old man's coffin was seen again, and now the old man was lying in this black coffin.
"Chen'er, lift the coffin lid!" The layman said in a deep voice.
"Lift... Open ····· Why am I ······?" Although I learned some skills from the layman, I had never done this thing of lifting the coffin of a dead person, and I couldn't help but tremble, and retorted to the layman a little nervously, saying that I didn't want to do this kind of thing.
"If you want to lift it, you will lift it! Where is all this nonsense! "Who knew that the layman was determined to let me do something to disturb the old man's rest, so I could only lift the coffin with my eyes half-closed, because I was afraid that after I lifted the coffin, the same thing would happen to me in the movie, and what would I do if I had a pair of dead eyes or suddenly sat up and grabbed my neck·······
I finally moved, I trembled and put my hands on the coffin lid, it was a little cold, but also relatively smooth, my heart was closed and I used all my strength to lift the coffin lid, because I used too much force, the coffin "boom" was lifted by me a few meters, this thing I remembered that I had never stopped training in these days with the layman, that comparable to the devil's training made me grow rapidly in all aspects.
The sound of the coffin "booming" to the side startled me, and I slowed down for a long time before I dared to take a look at the situation in the coffin.
The old man in the coffin didn't die without a blind eye, let alone sit up and ask for my life, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Layman····· My sir, he..." The old woman looked at it for a long time and didn't notice anything unusual about her old man, and to be honest, I didn't see it, so I looked at the layman with the old woman and her son.
"Look at his shoes."
Following what Li Jushi said, we moved our eyes to the old man's shoes, I didn't know if we didn't see it, and I was startled when I saw it, the toes of the old man's shoes were broken, they were swollen, his feet were swollen, the nails on the toes turned from black to purple, and the nails were sharp and cut the tips of the shoes.
"This ········· How could my old man ······ How did it come to be like this·······" The old woman was distressed, this sentence was said in a trembling voice, and it could be heard that the old woman was trying her best to suppress her emotions, but we could hear the choking clearly.
"This is an indirect corpse transformation, and it has not yet been transformed into a complete corpse transformation, as for the reason, I guess there is only one reason, that is, someone has cast a spell, if I come a few days later, the situation will really not be good." The layman frowned, it was clear that the layman did not like the use of corpses to achieve a certain purpose or to satisfy a need.
"Indirect necrogeny····· What happens if you are completely transformed? I was curious, and I talked a lot for a while, and subconsciously asked.
"It's going to turn into a zombie." The layman's brow furrowed even tighter.
"Stiff... Corpse... Zombies..." My teeth chattered a little, I don't know if I was nervous or excited, or scared, I had never seen zombies, and my knowledge of zombies was only in TV and movies.
"That... What can I do about this? My old man, you must save him, he..." When the old woman heard this, her legs almost went limp, but her son was holding her beside her.
"There's only one way, burn the corpse!"
"Layman, also... Is there any other way..." The old woman's heart is like a knife, she just wants the old man to be in the ground.
"Nope." The layman is unusually determined.
So in this accident, the old woman watched the old man turn to ashes with tears.
In the process of burning the corpse, the flames were mixed with a crackling sound and a very pungent fishy smell, which the layman said was burning the part of the corpse, and this phenomenon would not occur when a normal corpse was burned.
After the corpse was reduced to ashes, a wind rolled up, and the wind blew the old woman's face, like an old man's farewell.
The old woman wiped the tears from her face and went down the mountain with the layman and the others.
Back in the guest hall, before the old woman and her family could recover from it, the layman spoke again.
"This matter is not over, there is still a female ghost living in your house, which is also the main reason for the death of your husband." The layman took out a bag of glutinous rice from his bag.
"Female... Ghost..." It's really a wave of just flat and another wave, I'm afraid that my wife can't afford to toss, and I'm scared all of a sudden...
And Wang Yan is different, he seems to have wanted to vent for a long time.
"What a female ghost! You've been pretending to be since you entered my house, and you burned my father's body just now! Now I have come out with the saying that there are female ghosts living in my house! I think you just made something out of nothing, you are the same as the stinky Taoist priests you invited before, they are all imposters and cheat money! I'm telling you, I won't give you a penny for this trip! Wang Yan was furious, and regardless of the persuasion of his daughter-in-law and mother, he was yelled at by me and the layman.
"Yo? Are you still grumpy? Okay, I don't care about that! What do you love about it! The layman said that he would put the bag of glutinous rice into the bag, get up and leave.
"Layman, don't go, Xiao'er was stunned for a while, what he said was some nonsense, don't mind······" Where is the old woman willing to let the layman go, where can she go to find this master in the world?!
"Mom, don't beg him! He's a liar! I see that the corpse just now is also a trick, and now I have exposed it, so I can only find a staircase for myself, and I am in a hurry to go home! "Wang Yan was really annoyed by the previous few imposters, and he didn't blame him for doing this today.
"Smack!" A crisp and loud slap, damn, this slap is really not light!
"Mom..." Wang Yan covered his face and looked at his mother in disbelief, he really didn't expect his mother to slap him.
"You... You... Don't mess around... Your father has passed away, and I don't want you to take your life again..." The old woman couldn't hold back any longer, she was so paralyzed that she cried bitterly, the pain of losing her husband was tortured enough, and if she got her son on the tower again, this old woman was afraid that it would be meaningless to live.
"Well, that's it, I'll help you again!" Seeing that it was not easy for the mother and son, the layman finally relented and decided to help them again.
"Thank you... Layman..." The old woman was tremblingly helped up by Wang Yan and bowed to the layman, tears flashing in her eyes.
"Alright, you take your mother to rest, I'll leave it here!" There was a flash of fierce light in the layman's eyes.
I know that it is not for the Wang family, but for some dirty things, and the layman has changed his usual laziness, and I know that I may have to really catch ghosts next!
