Chapter 21: Who Died
Everyone was stopped by the young man's words, including myself, and I suspected that I had not heard him clearly, and asked, "You, what do you say?" ”
"Am I not clear? Okay, I repeat, it's you who die! ”
His voice was so loud that this time everyone heard it clearly!
The first to react was my mother, who cried out with a "wow", sobbing violently, and I felt like she was going to die.
Why am I dying?
I stood there stunned, my brain like a mess, chaotic!
However, the third grandmother's thinking was quite normal, and she pulled the young man aside, "Brother, you make it clear, what's going on?" ”
The young man glanced at me and said expressionlessly, "Those resentful ghosts in Qinghe are looking for the living people of your old Liu family, if you die, they won't haunt your father." ”
I see what the young man means, no matter what, my dad and I must die!
So, who exactly is the one who deserves to die? It's me or my dad!
I looked at my father, who was still moving forward step by step, and suddenly my heart was a little sore.
Although he is not my real father, although I also complain that he has concealed the fact of my identity for so many years, although he did not follow the ancestral teachings about the tomb land, but after all, he has raised me for so many years, and we have a deep father-son relationship, how can I watch him die.
I suddenly had a bold idea, if I died and I went to die, would it all be over.
In the long run, if my mother hadn't been pregnant with me at that time, maybe my uncle would have married my mother and lived a happy life, and my father wouldn't have waded into this troubled water.
Coming closer, if I didn't sleep on the uncle's coffin, and the yang energy of father and son didn't mix together, would the female corpse not be opened, and Qian Laoqi would not have committed that evil act, then he would not have died.
I was the one who put out the uncle's candle fire during the vigil, I was the one who didn't carry the uncle to let his feet off the ground during the marriage, when Qian Laoqi was drowned, the black cat wanted to protect me, and my catastrophic dream and the illusion of the flowers on the other side of the old locust tree at the head of the village-
I seem to have figured out that the culprit of everything is me, not my father.
Scenes from my childhood crossed my mind, the days of gnawing on a bean bag on my uncle's knees, the days when my father slapped me for stealing a neighbor's egg, the days when my mother cried because I fell off a tree and broke my arm, and the days when I laughed and played with Yishui with my bare ass in the clear river-
Perhaps, I have already carried too much love, and this love has come to an end!
It's all me, and I'm the one who really deserves to be punished!
Thinking of this, I settled down, slowly walked up to my mother, and held up her teary-eyed face, "I'm sorry! Mother, children are not filial! ”
I knelt down at my mother, but my eyes were locked on the short knife in the young man's hand, I was going to break myself!
I didn't dare to open my eyes, for fear that I wouldn't be able to do it.
After making up my mind, I jerked my arm at the position of the young man's short knife, pulled the short knife out, and then slammed it into my chest!
Maybe the knife was too blunt and didn't get into my body, and I thrust it a few more times, only to be shot back.
"Don't compare, it's just a knife sleeve!" It's the lad's voice.
What the? Knife set!
I quickly opened my eyes, but found that there was a person lying in front of me, it was my father, and beside him, there was a person kneeling, none other than my mother!
Daddy's chest is slowly flowing with blood!
Next to my father was the bloodstained short knife, and my mother knelt next to my father, her body trembling and trembling, and her eyes widened!
When I reacted to what was going on, my head screamed, as if the sky had fallen, and my mother killed my father!
Everyone was shocked by the mother's actions, and then there was a sigh in the crowd.
The mother was still kneeling, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, she staggered to the side of the third grandmother, "Third aunt, I committed this heinous crime, whether it is to report to the official or to resist the fate, let you deal with it, but, it's just, I can't watch a man die!" ”
"She killed her own man! This is a great rebellion! ”
"That's right! Great rebellion! Let her die! ”
"Let her die!"
There was an angry voice in the crowd, and this voice was covered with waves, and there was no sense of calming at all.
The third grandmother was silent, she definitely hadn't dealt with such a thing, and the wife killed her husband, which was not a trivial matter.
After a while, the third grandmother said to the young man, "Brother, what do you think should be done about this?" ”
Then everyone turned their attention to the young man, and found him squatting in the water, applying medicine to my father's wound!
"Alright, I don't have to do it!" After the young man said this, he pointed to the young men next to him, "Carry it back!" ”
I heard what he said, and quickly asked him, "What to carry, where to carry!" ”
"Your home! Lift your daddy! ”
Half an hour later, my father was carried back to the house, everyone put my father on the kang, and the young man asked the third grandmother to send away the idlers and others, and began his work.
He first checked my father's man, then put wormwood and artemisia on my father's body, and then took out a yellow talisman from his bosom, lit it, turned it into ashes, and put the ashes in the alcohol.
He put a lamp twist in the grass ash of alcohol, lit it with a match, turned around and told my mother, "Look, don't let this lamp go out!" ”
"What if it is destroyed?" My mother asked hesitantly.
"Soul Flying!" The young man squeezed four words out between his teeth.
"What do you mean by a soul scattered?" I asked the lad.
"The place where the living have the living, it is called the yang world, and the dead also have their own place, which is what we call the underworld, when people die, they have to go to the underworld for the record, if the soul is scattered, you will disappear completely, and the underworld will not be able to go!"
"Is it that serious?"
"When a person dies, he has to enter the six realms of reincarnation, which is related to karma!"
"Six realms of reincarnation, what do you mean?"
"The six realms can be divided into the three good paths and the three evil paths. The three good paths are heaven, man, and asura; The three evil realms are beasts, hungry ghosts, and hells. If you don't do good deeds before you die, you will enter the hell path after death, which is the lowest status and the most cruel punishment of the six realms. Usually everyone thinks that entering the hell path is the saddest thing, but in fact it is not, the most tragic thing is that it does not enter reincarnation! ”
"Is that what you mean by 'soul flying'?"
"Yes!" The young man nodded, "Your father has been hit by the demon barrier, his soul has been taken by those resentful ghosts in the river, if his body is also taken away, then he can still enter the hell road, thinking that he did something wrong before his death!" ”
I know that the wrong thing that the young man pointed out was that my father did not abide by the fateful agreement.
"The problem now is that you have to save him, and there is only one way to save him, which is to take his body back, he was hit by the demon barrier, and his body was led by the living soul, so he kept walking into the river, and he couldn't stop it, and the only way to stop him was to kill him, the living soul and the body were separated, and we could take the body back!"
I suddenly remembered what this young man had said after my mother had stabbed my father in the chest, and he said, "Okay, I don't have to do it!" ”
"So? Your method is to kill my father? I asked the lad.
"Hmmm! Who told you to insist on saving, if you don't save it, your father can still enter reincarnation, save the body, the soul is gone, if the lights go out, your father won't even have a chance to be born! ”
"This is not going to work, young man! Can't let him just fly or scatter! My mother knelt down, tugged at the corner of the young man's clothes, and pleaded again and again!
"Where did you get the courage to stab him just now, and why are you worried about him now!" The young man gave my mother a blank look.
"Alas! How can you talk to my mother, she was trying to save me, and she had no choice but to save me! "I'm not happy with the lad's attitude.
He pulled up my mother, "I'll tell you, now your man is a skin, to put it bluntly, he is a walking corpse, it's better to bury him as soon as possible and end up clean!" ”
