Chapter 008: Soul Calling
Old Yu stared at him and didn't speak.
Lian Sheng made a bitter face, "Brother Yu, I don't lie to you, it's really someone else who threw it in my field, and I didn't get this wooden mound and chicken." ”
Old Yutou's face changed, and he reached out for a while to drag him out of the grave: "I can't complain that your father didn't dare to come back, because he was scared by this chicken blood." ”
As he spoke, he sent someone back to the village to borrow a new coffin, he stepped forward to open the old coffin in the grave, wrapped the bones in the grave with a gown, moved it to the new coffin, chose a new piece of land, buried the coffin, and let Lian Sheng kneel on the grave to burn paper.
"This is a cedar coffin." The old man rubbed the coffin boards in the old grave and muttered.
As soon as I heard this, I was also refreshed, and stared curiously at the coffin board, which we generally use in this area, because the mountains are full of poplars and pines.
Lao Yutou said that fir wood is much better than poplar and pine, and it has to be transported from the south, so the fir coffin costs a lot of money.
The old man pondered for a long time before he mixed the coffin boards with the wooden piers, as well as the chicken that had no head, and burned them together.
"Be vigilant when you go back, it's not easy to dig up graves, don't lose anything." He said in a deep voice.
With that, he picked me up and walked down the mountain.
I put my arms around his neck and whispered, "Dad, the back of my neck was a little cold just now, like a ......"
didn't speak, but I heard someone call Lao Yutou behind me, "Brother Yu, Lian Sheng is dizzy." ”
I was so startled that I forgot what I was going to say.
Lao Yutou was busy running over again, rolling his eyelids and looking, "He was just tossed by his father, his body was weak, and the graveyard was heavy, and he was frightened again, so he carried it back first, and asked his daughter-in-law to call him at night." ”
As soon as I heard it, some people would have a fever when they went back to the grave, talking nonsense, and every time they encountered this matter, they would shout at the old man.
It's just that this time the streak is still different from before.
Lao Yutou took me to Lian Sheng's house again, and asked Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law to find a few pieces of red paper to come out, and he pulled a few wicker sticks to make bones and pasted a red lantern.
Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law held the red lantern and was at a loss: "Brother Yu, still stand at the head of the bed and shout?" ”
In the village, everyone stands at the head of the bed and calls, like the last time my grandmother called me, it was standing at the head of the bed.
Old Yu shook his head, "Lian Sheng is different this time, you take Tuzi to the edge of the Houshan cemetery, call Lian Sheng, let him go home for dinner, watch the candlelight in the lantern beat, and go back, every nine steps, scream." ”
Seeing that Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law responded, he said to me again: "You use the flashlight well, don't let your Aunt Lian Sheng fall, don't look back when you hear anything, you know?" ”
"Hmm." I nodded solemnly and asked curiously, "Dad, aren't you going?" ”
"I can't go, I'm a cultivator, if I go, I'll be too scared to come back." He said.
I don't understand what cultivation is, but when I heard that Lian Sheng was afraid of him, I couldn't help but stiffen my back, it must still be the old man who is powerful, otherwise Lian Sheng would not be afraid of him.
When it got dark, I went up the mountain with Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law, and I consciously shouldered a heavy responsibility and dutifully showed the way to Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law.
Although the candle in the lantern was burning, it was only a small pinch of light, and it was useless at all.
When she arrived at the edge of the cemetery in the back mountain, Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law took a deep breath and shouted at the cemetery: "Lian Sheng, go home for dinner, Lian Sheng......"
She screamed seven or eight times, and the candlelight suddenly jumped twice, and we looked at each other and hurried back.
She walked ahead, and after nine steps she screamed, and the candlelight danced with it.
I followed behind, and suddenly noticed that under the candlelight, there seemed to be two shadows under the feet of Lian Sheng's daughter-in-law.
