Chapter 2 Bringing the corpse to the door
Each family has something for itself.
In these days, if you want to survive in this place, you must have something to handle. In fact, the world is so big, not to mention these eight, but these eight are relatively common.
"Your father was a Confucian disciple, and in his heyday, Confucian disciples were all over the world, and everyone admired him. It's just that after these turmoil, your father brought you to this place when he learned that your mother was pregnant. Bai Zhi glanced left and right: "Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the entrance is born, which is not bad." ”
"Then why did he leave?"
There was something strange in my heart.
"For your dead mother, and for your brother you've never met."
Bai Zhi looked at me and said without concealment: "Fourteen years ago, your father brought your mother to Qixia Mountain and settled here, and at that time, you were not yet born. ”
Hearing Bai Zhi say this, I felt a little strange.
Because judging from Bai Zhi's appearance, she is not much older than me. At most, he is in his twenties, but how can he remember the events of fourteen years ago clearly?
Most importantly, I haven't seen her in all these years.
In this barren mountains and mountains, in the middle of nowhere, where has she always lived?
And Bai Zhi's words set off a lot of waves in my heart, I looked at her and asked, "I still have a brother?" ”
"I don't know much." Bai Zhi looked at me and paused before continuing, "This is what your father told me as well. ”
I lowered my head and tried to digest it all.
In fact, these things have definitely had a big impact on me. I couldn't believe that my father was hiding so much from me. He has always been relatively reticent, but he has so many secrets hidden in his heart.
"What about you? Who are you? Why do you say it's my ......"
I muttered and asked, but I didn't know how to ask.
"You've seen me." Bai Zhi's voice did not have a trace of emotion, and said indifferently.
My eyes blinked twice, and I was overwhelmed again.
"Your father will take you to see me every year on the sixth day of the sixth month of June." Bai Zhi looked at me lightly: "Xiangmei and Red Candle, you won't forget it, right?" ”
I shuddered, as if I was looking at a monster and looked at Angelica in front of me.
"But I haven't seen you......"
I was a little frightened, and even stammered a little between the words, and then, as I searched in my mind, I suddenly raised my head and remembered the story my father had told me: "Your blood is green, and you are a mountain ghost?" ”
Bai Zhi looked at me and didn't say a word.
Immediately afterward, I was a little stunned: "No wonder you have such skills." ”
But soon I thought of an important thing: "You have such a great ability, can you save your father?" Even if you can't save him, it's good to bring him back. ”
Bai Xi sighed.
As if he felt a little pitiful for me, he didn't answer me, stood up and walked towards the door: "Don't worry, your father will naturally be sent back, and judging by their behavior, it should be three days later." You just have to wait. ”
Three days?
I froze there, accompanied by the sound of the door closing, as if I was once again cut off from the world.
Bai Zhi didn't come back, just left me alone here to think nonsense, I was really a little upset, so I walked out of the yard. Because it's summer, the sun outside is harsh.
In the past three days, I have prepared a lot of things according to Bai Zhi's words, such as shrouds, white flags, coffins, and cemeteries. Most of them were done by Angelica Angelica with me.
She knows a lot, and she can also say a word in all aspects.
And I only know a lot of things, and with her, I can handle everything.
On this day, it was in the afternoon.
Bai Zhi glanced at me: "Go and put on your cleanest clothes, today you are the head of the family, you must take out your spirit, so as not to let the guests see the jokes." ”
I was a little embarrassed and agreed.
When I went back to my room, I changed into a long gown, which my father made for me, and I have never been willing to wear it. Now I wear it on my body, and it just fits. However, there was inevitably some sadness in my heart, because I never thought that the first time I wore this dress would be in this situation.
The sky gradually darkened.
I was a little anxious in my heart, and looked at Bai Zhi: "It's almost night, shouldn't you not come?" ”
"Don't worry." Bai Zhi shook her head: "It shouldn't be wrong." ”
When it was dark, I placed a bench in the courtyard and lit a white candle at each end of the chair.
The candle burned gradually, with occasional wind blowing, but it didn't have any effect. Just when I was a little sleepy, I suddenly heard the sound of brass bells coming from the bottom of the mountain.
"Jingle Bell ......"
"Walk the road with your feet, and avoid evil ......"
At this time, Bai Zhi stood up and patted me lightly on the shoulder: "Here, cheer up." ”
I hurriedly straightened my back, but my heart was mixed.
Soon after, there was a white mist at the bottom of the mountain, which was a bit rare in the summer. Then, out of the mist, two people slowly came out.
One of them was wearing a coat, straw sandals, and a black hat on top of his head.
And behind him, there was a man, listless, with his head bowed and his chest hanging down.
"Yo, waiting?"
The man in the coat stepped forward and saw us waiting there, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a stack of yellow paper from his pocket: "Chen Xianyao, forty-seven years old, returned to his hometown today, you can see if it is your family...... If yes, give me a stamp here. ”
As he spoke, he handed me the yellow paper.
My body trembled a little, and I subconsciously wanted to retreat, but I was stopped by Bai Zhi.
"Let's go check it out." There was a hint of tenderness in Bai Zhi's voice.
I took a deep breath, nodded, walked over to the man, and gave me a gentle look. There is no doubt that it is the father, but its eyes are slightly closed, and it seems that there is no strength in its body.
Seeing this, my tears fell again.
And when the corpse chaser saw it, he was not shocked, but stood quietly to the side, waiting patiently.
It was Bai Zhi who stepped forward: "Who asked you to send people home?" ”
"Yo, I didn't ask." The man shook his head: "It's live, let's take it." Who is the main family, others don't say, let's not ask too much, do you say yes? ”
Bai Zhi nodded: "That's true, but you're a little confused." ”
"How?" The corpse chaser said with a smile.
Bai Zhi didn't reply, but came to my side, gently attached to my ear, and said lightly: "If it's about the same, let's go and sign it, there will be other things later." ”
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, I forcibly stopped my tears.
He glanced back at the corpse chaser, then pressed his handprint on the yellow paper and gave it back to him.
After he took it, he raised it with his hand, and the entire yellow paper turned into a firelight, and the surrounding white fog gradually dissipated in that instant, and then the copper bell in his hand shook.
The father staggered slowly towards the courtyard.
Under the command of the corpse chaser, there was a pop and fell directly into the coffin.
"This job is done." The man laughed, and then arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, if you need anything in the future, come to me again." ”
And Bai Zhi smiled indifferently: "I'm afraid it won't work, you can't go down this mountain today." ”
"What do you mean?"
The man's face changed, and he looked at Bai Zhi in front of him vigilantly.
Bai Zhi said indifferently: "His father died in the triad of the Yin and Yang family, you send him home, that is, to send yourself home, do you think the people of the Yin and Yang family will let you go down the mountain quietly?" ”
As he spoke, a blood streak gradually appeared on the man's forehead, as if something was trying to pull it out.
"Hmm, hmm......" he howled in pain, and his eyes showed deep trepidation.
