They would not listen to my grandfather and would not carry the young man back to the bed. They don't listen naturally for their reasons.

The dead sleep on the door panel, firstly, because the body will gradually become stiff after death, and if the body is lying in a place that is too soft, the body will be deformed, affecting the body to be placed in the coffin; The second is that according to the custom here, when a person dies, it means that he is going to go far away, which means going out.

People are born, and the people here say that since he has come to your house, you have to treat him well. When a person dies, the people here say that he is going to go far away, and you have to send it well. This one comes and goes, and it is a person's life.

Grandpa knew that it was impossible to ask them to carry the deceased back to the bed for no reason.

So, my grandfather pretended to pinch his fingers in the direction of Lao He, and there were words in his mouth.

When they saw him like this, they asked, "What are you doing here?"

Grandpa ignored the family, continued to think, and then slapped his hand on the thigh and shouted, "Oops! ”

When people saw him, they were calculating, chattering, thinking, and surprised, and they were even more curious, and asked what happened.

My grandfather made a fool of himself and said, "I'm afraid you won't believe me if I say it." ”

People asked: "We all know what you do and what you say, how can we not believe it?" ”

That's what my grandfather wanted. He pointed to the old river and said, "Your child's soul has not gone far, and now it has come to the old river bridge." If he could catch it back, he would wake up. ”

When the young man's family heard this, they hurriedly asked his grandfather, "Are you on the other side of the old river?" ”

Another asked, "How can I get it back?" ”

My grandfather said to the young man's mother, "Usually if your child is on the other side of the old river, how can you let him come back?" ”

The young man's mother said, "Stand at the door and shout." ”

In general, the village is relatively quiet, unlike the city, which is lively and lively, with all kinds of sounds. If in the evening, the playful child forgets to come back for dinner, the adults in the family will shout on the floor of their house or on the road in front of the village: "Devil cub, go home for dinner!" ”

There is no need to call the name, and the children of any family will know whose adult is calling which child.

Children who hear the shouts will rush home to eat. If you don't manage it strictly at home, you will come out to play with your rice bowl when you get home.

So children often break bowls.

Grandpa said, "That's easy, you carry him back to the bed first, and then you stand at the door and shout, as usual, maybe you can call him back!" ”

If the child in this place is frightened and has a high fever, some people think that the child's soul is scared away, and they want to call the soul back by "shouting the soul".

Therefore, the young man's family took his grandfather's words to heart.

The young man's mother hurriedly stood at the door of the house, afraid that the shouting was not loud enough, and hurriedly returned to the room from the door of the house to drink a few sips of raw water, drank too fast, almost choked, and then returned to the door, stood on the threshold, and shouted in the direction of the old river: "Will you come back soon-"

Hui Ya Cub is a nickname for young people at home.

When my grandfather saw that he was almost done, he beckoned to her and said, "Okay, okay." ”

She was still not at ease, so she stood on tiptoe and shouted to the old river, "Come back quickly—don't walk by the river—be careful when you fall into the water—" and she cried out in a broken voice.
