Chapter 8: The Coffin That Can't Be Carried
Cao Zhenzhen followed Cao Yusen closely, because in that ghost road, Cao Yusen's performance had made Cao Zhenzhen feel that this brother was too trustworthy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Auntie, aunt and grandmother float, floating in the air! She's still smiling at me! As soon as Cao Zhenzhen said this, she immediately flashed behind Cao Yusen, trembling all over.
Cao Yusen looked up, there seemed to be a figure floating in the sky, so familiar, but after a while, it disappeared! Cao Yusen couldn't help but remember that people were born with psychic eyes, that is, they could see ghosts and the like, but as they grew older, this psychic ability gradually disappeared.
Especially when children under the age of three are more likely to see incredible things, often during funerals, or at night when they see piles of graves, the child is crying, and even saying that the deceased is floating on it, and laughing at him.
It's just that Cao Zhenzhen is already twelve years old, and it is said that she is past this age, but why can she still see it? And Cao Yusen also felt strange, would he see it?
The people not far away heard what Cao Zhenzhen said, and they looked up, how could there be anyone! How can people float in the air?
However, the three brothers of the Cao family saw all this in their eyes, and the three brothers all looked at each other, and the three of them all had solemn expressions. Cao Yusen can see things that shouldn't be seen, which is very bad, really, very bad.
After Cao Yusen finished incense with his family, he made incense on them, as a mother's mother, he had to cry, even if he couldn't cry, he had to cry a few times, and his children, usually daughters would cry and shout at the coffin: "Mother! Someone from your uncle's house has come to see you! Cousins are here! ”
According to custom, when someone comes from my uncle's family, the children of the deceased, especially the daughter, must come and cry a few times at the coffin to tell the deceased that your mother's family has come to see you!
After the Cao family finished the incense, there was a special person to entertain them, how to say that this is also the mother's family, this has to be solemn, and it has to be treated differently from other guests who come to mourn.
According to local customs, the son of the deceased is personally entertained, and although the uncle is gone, the cousin is there, which means that the mother's family can be received with high etiquette.
Therefore, when entering the stage for dinner, the children of the deceased will come to the table where Cao Yusen and others are sitting, and first kneel down to Cao Wenhao and other mothers' family members, crying that they are not filial, failed to let their mother live long, and make their mother return to the west, and can't stand Yunyun and other clichés.
The uncle's family naturally has to help up the children of the deceased one by one, and say a word of comfort, of course, the meaning of the words is that they cannot be blamed, people have life and death, the laws of nature, no one can control it, please look at the opening point, and mourn and change.
After all the things that should be done were done, the children of the deceased invited their cousins to dinner, and they took their leave, standing in front of the coffin to eat.
After all the procedures have been completed, then it is natural that the funeral will be held, and everyone is waiting for the funeral.
But seeing that the Taoist priest holding the peachwood sword had words in his mouth, he then pointed to the coffin and shouted: "Get up!" "All the people who carried the coffin came in and carried it to the place where it was buried.
Since this is a remote mountain village, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so no one cares about the burial. It's a big deal, it's a matter of paying a fine. Now it's different from what it used to be dug up, after all, it's hard to be angry, and the big man is also afraid!
The coffin is generally carried by 8 to 16 people, because the deceased is more than 90 years old, is for longevity, the funeral is also called the joy of mourning, the couplets pasted are red, and the natural coffin is also 16 people.
There is a saying that anyone who carries the coffin must be married to carry it, and there are some local regulations that all those who have been married in the village must carry the coffin at least once, so once there is a funeral in the village, the people who carry the coffin have to take turns, of course, there are also those who are professional, and often carry the coffin as a profession.
"Hey!" With a shout, 16 people worked together, but something strange happened! 16 people can't lift this coffin! The 16 people looked at each other, and they couldn't believe all this! Try again! 16 people still can't lift the coffin!
This caused a shock! People can't help but watch this scene! This is an extremely inauspicious thing.
Some people say that the living are small and not very heavy, even if a person is heavy, but what can't these 16 big men lift? But now the fact is that 16 people really can't carry this coffin!
Looking at the 16 people grinning their teeth, looking very painful and unable to lift them up with all their might, you know that it is definitely not a fake.
Seemingly, there is only one explanation, and that is evil! Perhaps the deceased has some unfulfilled wishes and is unwilling to leave, and if the unfulfilled wishes of the deceased cannot be satisfied, the deceased will continue to worship.
It's not surprising that some people have this statement: "Is it that the deceased is unwilling to leave, for example, what offended her and made her resentful?" Supposedly, the old grandmother is good! It shouldn't be like this! ”
The Taoist priest first went over to take a good look at the soul-attracting chicken, but the soul-attracting chicken shrugged its head and looked listless.
The so-called soul-attracting chicken is to guide the soul of the dead to the underworld, and will beat the chicken to make the chicken crow, thus guiding the soul to the underworld. It is also said that it is a situation of how many times you chirp.
But now? The Taoist priest is a dozen roosters, and the roosters still hang their heads down, not moving, and they don't even know how to crow. That's how abnormal it is!
The Taoist priest understood, it was useless to fight the rooster again, he had to cast a spell. The Taoist priest cast a spell again and again to lift the coffin, but this time he failed again. And the 16 people who carried the coffin also stopped, they knew that something must have happened, and they could not carry the coffin. Seeing this, Cao Yusen said, "Could something have happened?" He looked at the elders and asked them to come out and help.
However, Cao Wuhao was calm and said, "It's okay! I think I'll find out the reason soon for the master on stage! ”
Cao Yusen asked, "What is the reason for that?" Why can't my aunt's coffin be opened? Cao Wuhao smiled and said, "Wait patiently!" The results will be out soon! ”
The main family was called, and the family discussed, and soon after, I saw my aunt's second daughter-in-law crying, and she was still holding a bracelet in her hand, and she kept kowtowing in front of the spirit: "Woo! Mother-in-law! Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry for you! Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry for you! I shouldn't have taken the bracelet you brought to marry! ”
The second son scolded: "You slut! Obviously, this is said to be buried with my mother! You actually took it privately! See if I don't kill you! "Someone has already grabbed him, and I'm really afraid that he will come forward to fight.
