At four o'clock in the morning, hundreds of spirit-sending processions set off from Jingzhai to a big mountain shaped like a seat in Longquan Town, each holding a thing in their hands, or five pieces of paper paste, or incense and candles and other tributes, and behind the team was thirty-six people carrying a large coffin, the coffin was swarthy, because the day had turned white, I saw that the floating flowers carved on the coffin were actually shining with golden light, and I didn't know what material it was.

The mourning music continued to echo behind me, what about me, as my grandfather's only grandson, naturally had to stand at the front of the team, holding a gray photo of my grandfather with a black border, wearing sackcloth, and walking forward with the team, the princess walked beside me, and the fat man followed me nondescriptly, dressed in floral clothes, with a white cloth belt tied around his waist, and I don't know where to get the spirit flag in my hand, shaking and shaking, if it wasn't for the serious situation now, I would have turned around and kicked him to tell him to get away and shake away!

When I set off, Mrs. Wang took out the photo of my grandfather, and she told me privately that because my grandfather was not dead, she did not put the portrait in front of the coffin, but put it in the grandfather's study in the north of the Jing House, so as not to be discouraged.

The grandfather in the photo, with a beard, has a gray beard, white hair, because it is a gray photo, so I can't see his old man's complexion, but his eyes are full of kindness and inexplicable loneliness, I look at the photo of my grandfather and feel very uncomfortable, looking at Liu Laoga's age, how is grandpa also sixty or seventy years old, but at such an age, I still have to find my son, I don't know what my father thinks!

On the way to send the spirit, there are potholes on the dirt road, I am fortunate to wear sneakers, the fat man is miserable, he is wearing a pair of big sandals with head and toes, it is ridiculous, he walks on the flat road too much, he actually does not pay attention to the stones on the ground, kicked several times, he grinned in pain, full of foot bags.

Along the way, Liu Laoga walked in the front, muttering words I didn't understand, scattering some paper money from time to time, and letting me do some actions, the strangest thing is that when we walked to a field, there was a temple less than my knee on the edge of the field, the temple looked very exquisite, red bricks and green tiles, but there was nothing inside, there were some hairy steamed buns and a small incense burner at the entrance of the temple, Liu Laoga saw it, took three lit incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, and then said loudly: "Local land god, Mrs. Jing wants to go to Huangquan Road, please send it all the way, don't get in the way, Liu Mou has thanked him here! Tribute for you to enjoy! He said, beckoning to someone behind me.

Soon, a woman ran out behind me, the woman was Lou Ling, she was wearing a white dress, a white belt tied around her waist, and a small basket in her hand, there were some steamed buns and fruits in the basket, Liu Laoga put the steamed buns and fruits in front of the small temple in the form of stacked towers, and then bowed three times.

Then Liu Laoga ordered someone to send the big red horse to a big pit in front of the small temple, and everyone stood around the red horse, and then, Liu Laoga asked me to turn left and turn three times around the red horse, and then held the yellow table paper in my hand and touched the horse a few times, and finally called a few times, "Grandpa, you go, sit on the big red horse, and the ghosts and monsters on the road ahead are avoided!" ”

Then Liu Laoga said loudly: "Catch horse hair, the more you catch, the more prosperous the days will be!" ”

In an instant, those who were standing behind me rushed out as if crazy, frantically grabbing the hair of the big red horse, and finally when I reacted and stepped forward, the hair on the big red horse was only a small lock of red hair on the horse's buttocks, and the red horse also turned into a white horse.

I smiled bitterly and grabbed the last bit of red hair on the red horse, turned around and walked back to the team, and then Liu Laoga asked those young and strong men to throw some paper people and money vaults into the pit and burn them, saying that they were buying tolls for grandpa, and after everything was over, we continued to walk, the mountain road became more and more rugged, and I don't know what Mrs. Wang put in the coffin, it was so heavy that the coffin-carrying team stopped several times before reaching the foot of the seat-shaped mountain.

In fact, it's no wonder that those who carry the coffin, I am tired and angry after walking this way, and the fat man behind me almost sat on the ground, but Mrs. Wang looked very relaxed, seeing us like this, saying that we are really used to it, and we are embarrassed to say anything.

After about an hour's journey, the group finally ascended the mountain, and lowered the coffin halfway up the chair-shaped mountain, which was exactly the center of the seat where the seat was sitting, where a spring flowed.

The burial place has been dug in advance the day before, the coffin fell steadily into the pit, at this time, the opposite hill just rose the golden sun, the sun's light is very warm, the soil also covers the entire coffin, the circle, the paper people are piled on the grave, the grave stands a black tombstone, everyone kneels to worship the empty grave, burning paper money makes people laugh.

In order to hide his whereabouts, he actually did this, I think grandpa probably didn't think that he would come back alive, right?

When I thought of this, I actually cried with the person behind me, and I thought to myself that I was really not angry, so I cried, like a girl! So I bit my lip and cried to wipe away my tears, and turned around to find the fat man.

But just as I turned around, suddenly, I saw a man dressed in white appear at the back of the line, next to a large mossy rock, = behind him stood two big men, both holding a wreath in their hands.

When he saw me, he nodded at me, with a serious expression on his face, and then slowly walked towards me.

I was taken aback by this person, he was none other than that Fujiwara Shiraki last night! How did he come here? I was thinking about it when the fat man came out of the crowd and came up to me and said, "Look, isn't that little Japan?" How did he get here? It can't be that you know the old man, right? ”

I said, "I don't know. ”

Fujiwara Shiraki soon came to me, bowed to me and said, "It's really disrespectful, it turns out to be the beloved grandson of the old man of the Jing family, Xiao Ke heard the bad news of the old man, and came to pay respects." As he spoke, he ordered the man behind him to place the wreath next to the grave.

I looked at his indifferent appearance, I was afraid that I already knew that I was from the Jing family, so I said politely, "You really have a heart, I don't know if you know my grandfather?" "Speaking of which, this Fujiwara Shiraki looks like I'm older, and my shouting actually makes Fujiwara Hakuki a little embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "Xiao Ke is the same age as Young Master Jing, you don't have to be so polite" He said, looked at the mound and said: "It's just that the old man of the Jing family has come to pay tribute to the old man for a long time, and he also came to say a few words to the young master of the Jing family." ”
