Chapter 15: The Wake of the Spirit

If the water is gone, this will cost people their lives, if there is no electricity, then you can still use candles to make use of it, but people don't drink water, isn't this sitting still. This has to be held without a meeting, and the people's hearts don't know how to appease yet.

When the village chief and Wei Zhun went to the church together, the old man said something more: "He Meiqin's body, you really didn't steal it?"

"I didn't steal."

He wanted to say that it was Huzi, but the crowd that followed made him hold back this sentence. Tian Jiagou has a head and a face, and almost all the people who can rank the number on the family tree are here, even Tian Guangjia, who has never asked about things, is here. The entire river, as well as the wells in the yards, was unusable, and of course, the tap water had not been completely corroded. But tap water is too expensive, and not many people are willing to use it.

There was a large group of people inside and outside the house, adults and children were all at the door, and there were people from the Qingzi generation sitting on a few benches inside, and a few people from the Zhaozi generation found a broken stool in the corner of the wall to sit down, and most of them were standing. On the long table, the village chief sat with his head on his head, and Wei Zhun was the first on the left.

There are many people and mixed mouths, and they have not been idle since they entered the door, but in the end, women talk a lot, and the men's voices are covered.

Tian Qingfang was the first to speak, her legs were crossed on the stool, and she was chewing broad beans in her mouth: "Second brother, this water is gone, how can you live in the future?"

"What are you, you have running water at home, what about us? It's all about a well to eat, and if this is not solved, there is really no way to survive. ”

The village chief scanned the crowd: "Why didn't Zhaofu and Zhaowang come?"

"I don't know." A man leaning against the door said, holding a sunflower in his hand: "Or I'll call them."

"No need, everything that should be there is here, let's talk about things." The village chief took a sip of water and didn't light a cigarette: "Which one saw the water problem first?"

There was no certainty about it, and no one was paying attention.

He asked another way: "The water source in our village is dug up, and it is connected to the canal to the east. Don't worry, I'll call the township and ask them to take a look. ”

"Then we don't have any water right now."

"Let's use tap water first." The village chief replied and went to the table to touch other people's cigarette cases: "Zhaocai, you go back to get a bucket in a while, and in the afternoon, you will come to the church to fetch water.

Tian Qingfang's nervous face let go, and she thought she was going to use her family's water. She stuffed two broad beans into her mouth and spit out the skin: "Second brother, this is not a problem, you are the village head, you have to find a way to solve it."

Her man pulled her from behind to make her talk less. Tian Qingfang pushed her husband: "Shut up - what's the matter with you here, go home and stay!"

There were too many people, so the village chief asked them to be blown away, leaving only a few people who had opened the meeting before.

Seeing that there were only two or three people left outside the courtyard, the village chief lowered his voice: "This matter is very evil, but you elders don't spread the word outside, I'll go to the township to find someone first, and then think of a way when I come back."

Hearing the word evil, Tian Qingfang's eyes lit up: "Let me say it, right?" Second brother, I think it was done a few days ago, why don't you raise the woman's grave and move it to the ancestral hall to make offerings?"

"How can this work?" Tian Zhaolu thought it was inappropriate: "That woman is not a member of our Tian family at all, and she has done such a depraving thing, the ancestral hall of the ancestors can't accommodate her." Let's think of something else. ”

"And what can you do?"

"Me? I...... I don't think I can do it. ”

Except for Tian Guangjia now, the highest seniors are Tian Qingsheng and Tian Qingfang, Qingxi was killed by thunder, and there is one less talker. Tian Qingfang advocated doing this, and the village chief himself didn't say anything, now he is a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and one step at a time is one step.

After turning back, the people in the village went to the church to fetch water, and some people even brought quite large wooden basins, and there were many and few to take, and they couldn't take care of it temporarily, anyway, it was all the money from the village.

Wei Zhun followed a few people to the woman's grave, and on the other side of the hollow, there were weeds growing on the lonely grave, and there were holes dug out by Huzi and Xiaowei.

In broad daylight, no one is afraid.

Next to the grave is the thing wrapped in the flowery clothes, which has been dug up by Huzi.

"What are you still standing for? Do it. ”

Neither Zhaolu nor Zhaocai dared to go over.

"Second uncle, we are timid, you let Director Wei go, he is from the city, and he is yang."

"!" He was angry at the two: "If you want to be cheap, you will rush to the front, and you will be a turtle with a shrunken head when you encounter something." I haven't seen you cowardly back then, but now you're pretending to be a person, something!"

The two of them refused to do anything, and gave each other cigarettes to smoke. The village chief could only call Wei Zhun, and the two of them leveled the grave with shovels, but nothing unusual happened, but no one dared to move the colorful package on the ground.

The village chief shoveled with a shovel, and the things were packed in the basket that had been prepared: "Let's go, go to the ancestral hall."

They prepared the brazier and threw it in and burned it, hoping to get rid of it. Zhaolu Zhaocai found a wooden rank, wrote the woman's name, and put it on the incense burner case.

"Do you want to kowtow?" Zhaocai asked.

"Knock a ball, she can be enshrined here is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, you and I are not qualified to be on this when we die, she should be content."

No one wants to mention ghosts, but no matter what anyone says or does, they all discourage ghosts.

"You two." The village chief pointed to the brothers: "Give her a wake tonight."

"Ah?!!!h Tian Zhaocai immediately cried and laughed: "Second uncle, you are killing people and not paying for your life, why should I give her a vigil." Besides, this man has been dead for many years, and he still guards the spirit of a ghost. ”

"Bastard thing, you didn't count yourself as one of the murderers in the first place?!"

Zhao Lu also spoke to himself: "Second uncle, let's not make trouble, we have cremated her and worshipped, and we are not related to her, we-"

The village chief stepped forward and slapped him: "Brute! Li Qiufeng: Is the man from the Tian family? Is it you elders? What do you call him?! Are you a little pressed in your heart?"

"But the second uncle—"

"That's it!! If you talk nonsense in front of me, you won't be able to get any water!"

"That'...... Let Director Wei accompany us. ”

"What does Wei Zhun have to do with you? Is it Murakami? Or did you do that back then? Each of you is still embarrassed. ”

Outside the house, Tian Qingfang, who was in charge of burning things, entered the door, her face was pale: "Second brother, things are burned...... It doesn't burn out. ”

"What's that?!"

A few people walked out of the atrium, and saw that the flower cloth in the pot was almost burned, but it was black, I don't know what it was, it was still very greasy, the fire was almost extinguished, and the thing was still inside, and it was still a little shiny in the sun.

"Second brother, what do you say this is neat."

"I'll take it to town and burn it, throw it in the boiler, and see if it melts."

Then, they poured the things into the basket, Wei Zhun picked it up and wanted to leave, Tian Zhaolu pulled him behind: "Director Wei, Director Wei, don't leave - stay and accompany us."

"Didn't the village chief let you two guard it?"

To say that these two are also stupid, let you keep it? When the village chief is gone, you two will have to leave secretly at night.

The things were left in the church first, and Wei Zhun planned to go to Shangqiaowa Village, but the two brothers came to him, saying that the village chief had to ask them to go to the vigil, and they had not been given water until now. They asked Wei Zhun to help strengthen their courage, and they all said that the Yang Qi Ghost would not dare to get close, but unfortunately Wei Zhun was not very bold.

Forget it, he doesn't want to see another death, and when something happens, he can let them leave in time.

What happened back then, Tian Zhaocai and Tian Zhaolu were terrified, they were not yet twenty years old at the time, so they followed the adults to kill the woman, and witnessed the whole process of the woman's body being dismembered. This is also the reason why Wei Zhun is willing to accompany them, hoping to know from the two of them about the woman's condition before and after death.

Zhaocai Zhaolu was very scared, and he didn't dare not really go, they also wanted to resolve this grievance.

Wine and peanuts were prepared, as well as two plates of cold dishes, and the three of them saw that it was still early, so they sat at the door and played cards. Zhaolu was the least daring, and his hand holding cards was trembling all the time.

"Heh-hehe...... Look at you like that, you're really—really cowardly. When Zhaocai spoke, his heart trembled, and he drank vigorously, his heart was beating too fast, and he was hairy.

The night gradually ended, and the three of them were wrapped tightly, only the light from the middle hall gave the three of them a little protection, but ...... This is only temporary.
